One important function of the SON function is an ANR (Automatic Neighbor Relation) function; the ANR is implemented by the base station issuing a corresponding periodic measurement configuration and the user terminal completing measurement reporting, and through the ANR process, the base station can discover other surrounding cell information, including cells of the same system and different systems.

In a conventional ANR measurement technique, a network operator may configure a plurality of GSM frequency points that are candidates for different systems to a base station. For any terminal, the base station may select a plurality of GSM frequency points to construct one or more measurement objects, and configure a corresponding RRC (Radio Resource Control) message to send to the terminal; wherein, each measurement object comprises all GSM frequency points belonging to the measurement object. The terminal measures the strongest cell according to each GSM frequency point in the measured object carried in the RRC message, and reports the measurement result to the base station through the measurement report message.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

The ANR measurement configuration method provided by the present application may be applied to an application environment as shown in fig. 1. In fig. 1, there are multiple access network devices and multiple User Equipments (UEs), and the UEs and the access network devices may communicate with each other through a wireless connection. The user equipment can be but is not limited to a smart phone, a computer device, a portable wearable device, an internet of things device, a vehicle, an unmanned aerial vehicle, an industrial device and other devices with a radio frequency receiving/transmitting function. The access network device may be, but not limited to, a common base station (e.g., eNB), a Distributed network element (Distributed Unit), and the like, and also does not limit power and coverage of the base station, such as a macro base station, a pico base station, a micro base station, and the like.

In the following embodiments, one user equipment and one access network equipment are taken as examples for explanation. However, it should be noted that the data transmission method of the present application may also be applied to a scenario with multiple user equipments and multiple access network equipments; for multiple user equipment, the access network equipment may synchronously execute the ANR measurement configuration method of the present application by using multiple threads.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, an ANR measurement configuration method is provided, which is described by taking an example that the method is applied to the access network device in fig. 1, and includes the following steps:

s201, distributing at least one specific measurement object for a target terminal from a candidate measurement object list; the measurement frequency point group associated with the specific measurement object accords with a preset measurement frequency point rule, and the specific measurement object comprises description information of the measurement frequency point rule of the measurement frequency point group.

The target terminal may be any terminal communicatively connected to the access network device. The candidate measuring object list may include at least one specific measuring object, and may further include other measuring objects whose associated measuring frequency point groups do not conform to the preset measuring frequency point rule. It can be understood that, after the access network device allocates at least one specific measurement object to the target terminal, it may also allocate another measurement object to the target terminal, so as to perform ANR measurement of another measurement frequency point.

Illustratively, when the measurement frequency point group associated with a specific measurement object conforms to the arithmetic progression rule, the specific measurement object may include at least three of the following: the measurement of the minimum frequency point, the frequency point interval, the frequency point number, and the maximum frequency point of the frequency point group may include, for example: measuring the minimum frequency point, the frequency point interval and the frequency point number of the frequency point group, or comprising: and measuring the minimum frequency point, the maximum frequency point and the number of frequency points of the frequency point group. Illustratively, when the difference value between the minimum frequency point and the maximum frequency point in the measurement frequency point group associated with a specific measurement object is less than or equal to the preset frequency point threshold, the specific measurement object may include: measuring the minimum frequency point and the frequency point bitmap of the frequency point group; and the frequency point bitmap represents the variable quantity of all the frequency points in the measurement frequency point group relative to the minimum frequency point. For example, when the measurement frequency point group associated with a specific measurement object conforms to the regular variance sequence rule, because the variance conforms to the arithmetic progression rule, the specific measurement object may include: and measuring the minimum frequency point, the minimum frequency point interval, the frequency point interval variation and the frequency point number of the frequency point group.

Correspondingly, other measuring objects comprise all frequency points in the measuring frequency point group associated with the measuring object. Illustratively, a certain measurement frequency point group is: 9. 10, 11, … 15, 16, 17, if the measurement frequency point group conforms to the arithmetic progression rule, then the minimum frequency point 9, the frequency point spacing 1 and the frequency point number 9 of the measurement frequency point group can be used as the specific measurement object corresponding to the measurement frequency point group, and the data volume of the specific measurement object is very small; if each frequency point in the measurement frequency point group is taken as a measurement object corresponding to the measurement frequency point group, the data volume of the measurement object relative to a specific measurement object is large. Therefore, when the measurement frequency point group conforms to the preset measurement frequency point rule, the description information of the measurement frequency point rule of the measurement frequency point group is used as the measurement object corresponding to the measurement frequency point group, so that the data volume of the measurement object can be greatly reduced, and the code stream length of subsequent RRC messages can be reduced. It should be noted that, the frequency points in the above example are represented by corresponding channel number values, may also be represented by corresponding frequency values, or by other representations, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Also exemplarily, a certain measurement frequency point group is: 100. 102, 103, 105, 106, the difference value of the channel numbers between the minimum frequency point and the maximum frequency point in the measurement frequency point group is 6, which is less than or equal to the preset frequency point threshold value 16, and the minimum frequency point 100 and the frequency point bitmap [1011011000000000] of the bit corresponding to the preset frequency point threshold value can be used as the measurement object corresponding to the measurement frequency point group. Of course, the subsequent 0bit in the frequency point bitmap can be omitted, and the minimum number of bytes is used for representation, that is, the frequency point bitmap is [10110110 ]. In addition, the frequency point bitmap may not include the minimum frequency point, that is, [0110110000000000], and is [01101100] after omitting the subsequent 0 bit. Thus, the data volume of the measurement object can be greatly reduced, and the code stream length of the subsequent RRC message can be reduced.

In addition, in an embodiment, the access network device may allocate a plurality of measurement objects including at least one specific measurement object to the target terminal according to a preset threshold value of the number of configured frequency points; the number of all frequency points in the plurality of measurement objects is less than or equal to the threshold value of the number of the configured frequency points. When the number of frequency points allocated to the terminal is too large, the code stream length of subsequent RRC information may be increased, and the transmission efficiency and transmission quality of the RRC information are reduced; secondly, it is time-consuming for the terminal to perform ANR measurement, and even all allocated frequency points may not be measured, which causes an ANR measurement error; therefore, the configuration frequency point number threshold is adopted to limit the number of the frequency points allocated to one terminal by the access network equipment, so that the problem can be avoided.

Of course, when there is a limit to the number of frequency points, the access network device may allocate each candidate measurement object in the candidate measurement object list to the terminal in stages, so as to measure all frequency points as fast as possible, and improve the ANR measurement efficiency. In each stage, the access network device may filter a plurality of measurement objects matching the threshold of the number of configured frequency points from the candidate measurement object list starting from the next index of the currently configured index, and mark the last measurement object as the currently configured index. And if the last index of the candidate measuring object list is reached when the indexes are screened, continuing screening from the index of the candidate measuring object list at the beginning until the frequency point number matched with the configured frequency point number threshold is screened.

For example, the list of candidate measurement objects may be as shown in the following table:

index of measurement object	Number of frequency points in measurement object
		Measurement object 1 (Special)	32
Object of measurement 2	15
		Measurement object 3 (Special)	26
Measurement object 4	20
		Measurement object 5	10

When the threshold of the number of configured frequency points is 50, taking the currently configured index as the measurement object 2 as an example, in the first stage, the access network device may allocate the measurement object 3 and the measurement object 4 to the terminal; in the second phase, the access network device may assign the measurement object 5 and the measurement object 1 to the terminal; in a third phase, the access network device may allocate the measurement object 2 and the measurement object 3, … … to the terminal, so that after the multi-phase measurement, all measurement frequency points may be covered, and the ANR measurement efficiency may be improved.

S202, configuring a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message; the RRC message carries a specific measurement object.

The access network equipment can encode the specific measurement object to obtain a code stream of the specific measurement object; if the access network equipment also distributes other measuring objects to the terminal, the access network equipment also encodes the other measuring objects to obtain code streams of the other measuring objects. Correspondingly, the access network device may configure an RRC message for the terminal, where the RRC message may include a code stream of a specific measurement object allocated to the terminal by the access network device, and may also include a code stream of another measurement object allocated to the terminal by the access network device.

S203, transmitting the RRC message to the target terminal.

The access network device may send an RRC message to the terminal. The terminal can analyze the code stream of a specific measurement object from the RRC, decode the code stream to obtain the specific measurement object, and calculate each measurement frequency point in the measurement frequency point group associated with the specific measurement object according to the description information of the measurement frequency point rule of the measurement frequency point group in the specific measurement object; the terminal can also analyze the code streams of other measurement objects from the RRC and decode the code streams to obtain other measurement objects, namely, directly obtain each measurement frequency point in the measurement frequency point group associated with other measurement objects. The terminal can measure the frequency point of the obtained measurement frequency point and report the measurement result to the access network equipment through the measurement report message; the access network equipment can determine the strongest cell around the terminal according to the measurement result, so as to facilitate subsequent operations such as cell switching.

In the ANR measurement configuration method of this embodiment, the access network device may allocate at least one specific measurement object to the target terminal from the candidate measurement object list, and then configure an RRC message carrying the specific measurement object and send the RRC message to the target terminal; because the measurement frequency point group associated with the specific measurement object conforms to the preset measurement frequency point rule, and the specific measurement object comprises the description information of the measurement frequency point rule of the measurement frequency point group, compared with the specific measurement object comprising all the measurement frequency points in the measurement frequency point group, the data volume of the measurement object is greatly reduced, so that the code stream length of the RRC message can be reduced, the transmission efficiency and the transmission success rate of the RRC message are improved, and the measurement efficiency and the measurement success rate of the ANR measurement are improved; meanwhile, because the access network device establishes the candidate measurement object list in advance, when the measurement object is allocated to the terminal, the measurement object does not need to be reconstructed, and the configuration efficiency of the ANR measurement is improved.

It should be noted that, when performing the ANR measurement of the inter-system cell, for example, when a 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) base station measures a 2G cell, the number of measurement frequency points allocated to the terminal by the access network device is large, so the embodiment has strong practicability.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the present embodiment relates to a process of establishing a candidate measurement object list by an access network device, and specifically may include:

and S301, grouping the configured multiple measurement frequency points to obtain multiple measurement frequency point groups.

The configured multiple measurement frequency points may be configured by an access network device administrator and stored in the access network device in advance. For example, the access network device may perform grouping processing on the configured multiple measurement frequency points according to a preset frequency point number threshold, where the frequency point number of each measurement frequency point group is close to or equal to the preset frequency point number threshold. The preset frequency point number threshold may be the configured frequency point number threshold, or may be one half, one third, or the like of the configured frequency point number threshold, which is convenient for grouping, so that the number of measurement frequency points allocated to the target terminal can be increased, and the measurement efficiency is improved. The above-described grouping process may be a random grouping. Of course, the access network device may sequence the configured multiple measurement frequency points from small to large, and then perform grouping processing according to the preset number of grouping frequency points in sequence according to the sequencing, for example, a frequency point of the previous grouping frequency point number in the sequencing may be used as a first measurement frequency point group, and a frequency point of the subsequent grouping frequency point number may be used as a second measurement frequency point group, and after the grouping, the frequency point number of the last measurement frequency point group is less than or equal to the grouping frequency point number. It can be understood that when the configured multiple measurement frequency points are subjected to sequencing processing and then to grouping processing, the probability that the measurement frequency point group obtained by grouping processing meets the preset measurement frequency point rule is high.

In an embodiment, the access network device may perform preliminary grouping processing on the configured multiple measurement frequency points according to a plurality of preset frequency band ranges to obtain multiple measurement frequency point groups; for example, each measurement frequency point group corresponds to a frequency band range, or a plurality of measurement frequency point groups correspond to a frequency band range, and frequency points in different frequency band ranges are located in different measurement frequency point groups. The frequency range can be a self-defined frequency range or a standard frequency range. The standard frequency range can be E-GSM-900 (174 frequency points between 925.2-959.8 MHz), P-GSM-900 (124 frequency points between 935.2-959.8 MHz), GSM-480 (35 frequency points between 488.8-496.0 MHz) and the like. When one frequency point corresponds to multiple frequency band ranges, the measurement frequency point group corresponding to the smallest frequency band range in the multiple frequency band ranges is used as the measurement frequency point group to which the frequency point belongs, for example, the frequency point 940Mz can be divided into the measurement frequency point groups corresponding to the P-GSM-900.

Correspondingly, the candidate measurement object list includes a plurality of measurement objects corresponding to a plurality of frequency range ranges, and the access network device may allocate at least one specific measurement object matching the frequency range for the target terminal, that is, allocate a specific measurement object corresponding to the same frequency range for the target terminal according to the frequency range of the target terminal; similarly, other measurement objects matched with the frequency range can be allocated to the target terminal; therefore, the access network equipment can ensure that the frequency points contained in the measurement object configured for each terminal are all supported by the terminal capability, and the problem of long process processing caused by the fact that the measurement object needs to be judged and compared again and reconstructed in each configuration is avoided.

In addition, after the configured multiple measurement frequency points are subjected to preliminary grouping processing according to the frequency band range, the access network equipment can also sequence the frequency points in each measurement frequency point group from small to large to obtain a sequenced measurement frequency point group; judging whether the frequency point number of each sequenced measurement frequency point group is greater than a preset frequency point number threshold value or not; if yes, the measurement frequency point group is divided into a plurality of measurement frequency point groups of which the frequency point number is less than or equal to a preset frequency point number threshold value. With reference to the foregoing description, the measurement frequency point groups obtained by grouping may be sorted in order of small arrival to improve the probability that the measurement frequency point groups meet the preset measurement frequency point rule.

S302, aiming at each measurement frequency point group, searching a plurality of frequency points which accord with a preset measurement frequency point rule from the measurement frequency point groups to serve as a specific measurement frequency point group, and taking the rest frequency points in the measurement frequency point groups as a new measurement frequency point group.

The access network equipment can directly search a plurality of frequency points which accord with a preset measurement frequency point rule from the measurement frequency point group to serve as a specific measurement frequency point group. Exemplarily, taking an arithmetic progression as an example, the access network device may sequentially select three adjacent frequency points, determine whether the three frequency points are arithmetic progression, if so, calculate whether other frequency points meeting the arithmetic progression exist in the measurement frequency point group, and count the number of the arithmetic progression; thus, the access network device may sequentially select three frequency points in the order of 1, 2, and 3, and three frequency points in the order of 2, 3, and 4, … …; and counting to obtain the number of a plurality of arithmetic sequence, and selecting the arithmetic sequence with the largest number as a specific measurement frequency point group. Illustratively, the access network device may calculate whether a difference between a maximum frequency point and a minimum frequency point in a measurement frequency point group is smaller than a preset frequency point threshold, if so, the measurement frequency point group is taken as a specific measurement frequency point group, if not, the measurement frequency point group is averagely divided into two new measurement frequency point groups, and the judgment is continued, so that the measurement frequency point groups are grouped until the frequency point number of the minimum measurement frequency point group is smaller than the preset frequency point number (e.g., 4 to 16), or the differences between the maximum frequency point and the minimum frequency point in all the measurement frequency point groups are smaller than the preset frequency point threshold; for example, when the data amount of the measurement object when the minimum frequency point and the frequency point bitmap of the measurement frequency point group are used as the measurement objects has no advantage over the data amount of the measurement object when all the frequency points of the measurement frequency point group are used as the measurement objects, the number corresponding to the measurement frequency point group is the preset number of frequency points. In short, similar searching methods are various and will not be described herein.

In one embodiment, the access network device may determine whether the measurement frequency point group conforms to a preset first measurement frequency point rule; if the measurement frequency point group conforms to the first measurement frequency point rule, taking the measurement frequency point group as a specific measurement frequency point group; if the measurement frequency point group does not accord with the first measurement frequency point rule, judging whether the measurement frequency point group accords with a preset second measurement frequency point rule; if the measurement frequency point group conforms to the second measurement frequency point rule, taking the measurement frequency point group as a specific measurement frequency point group; and if the measurement frequency point group does not accord with the second measurement frequency point rule, separating a plurality of frequency points which accord with the preset measurement frequency point rule from the measurement frequency point group to serve as a specific measurement frequency point group. That is to say, when the preset measurement frequency point rules are multiple, the access network device can judge whether the measurement frequency point group conforms to a certain measurement frequency point rule one by one, so as to improve the hit rate. Optionally, the data amount of the specific measurement object corresponding to the first measurement frequency point rule is smaller than the data amount of the specific measurement object corresponding to the second measurement frequency point rule, and thus the determination sequence of the measurement frequency point rules is set, so that the hit rate of the specific measurement object with a smaller data amount can be increased, and the code stream length of the RRC is further reduced. Illustratively, the first measurement frequency point rule may be an arithmetic progression rule, and the second measurement frequency point rule may be that a difference between a minimum frequency point and a maximum frequency point is smaller than a preset frequency point threshold.

S303, generating a specific measurement object corresponding to each specific measurement frequency point group according to the measurement frequency point rule accorded with each specific measurement frequency point group, generating a measurement object corresponding to each other measurement frequency point group according to the measurement frequency points in each other measurement frequency point group except the specific measurement frequency point group, and forming all the measurement objects into a candidate measurement object list.

Illustratively, when a specific measurement frequency point group conforms to the arithmetic progression rule, the minimum frequency point, the frequency point spacing and the frequency point number of the specific measurement frequency point group are acquired, and a specific measurement object corresponding to the specific measurement frequency point group is generated. Exemplarily, when a difference value between a minimum frequency point and a maximum frequency point in a specific measurement frequency point group is less than or equal to a preset frequency point threshold, acquiring a minimum frequency point and a frequency point bitmap of the specific measurement frequency point group, and generating a specific measurement object corresponding to the specific measurement frequency point group; representing the variable quantity of each frequency point in a specific measurement frequency point group relative to the minimum frequency point by using a frequency point bitmap; wherein, the preset frequency point threshold value is related to the bit number of the frequency point bitmap.

Optionally, before S303, a preset frequency point number threshold may be further adopted to group the measurement frequency point groups, so as to avoid a situation that the frequency point number of the finally determined measurement frequency point group is greater than the preset frequency point number threshold, which may specifically include: judging whether the frequency point number of each measurement frequency point group is larger than a preset frequency point number threshold value or not; if yes, the measurement frequency point group is divided into a plurality of measurement frequency point groups of which the frequency point number is less than or equal to a preset frequency point number threshold value. The foregoing description can be seen with respect to the preset frequency bin number threshold. It can be understood that the preset frequency point number threshold is adopted for grouping after a specific measurement frequency point group is obtained by searching according to the preset measurement frequency point rule, and the preset frequency point number threshold is not adopted for grouping before, so that the grouping quantity can be reduced, and the problem that the data quantity of a measurement object is increased because part of frequency points cannot be divided into the specific measurement frequency point group due to grouping in advance is solved.

In the ANR measurement configuration method of this embodiment, the access network device may perform grouping processing on the configured multiple measurement frequency points to obtain multiple measurement frequency point groups; aiming at each measurement frequency point group, searching a plurality of frequency points which accord with a preset measurement frequency point rule from the measurement frequency point groups to serve as a specific measurement frequency point group, and taking the rest frequency points in the measurement frequency point groups as a new measurement frequency point group; generating a specific measurement object corresponding to each specific measurement frequency point group according to the measurement frequency point rule accorded with each specific measurement frequency point group, generating a measurement object corresponding to each other measurement frequency point group according to the measurement frequency points in each other measurement frequency point group except the specific measurement frequency point group, and forming all the measurement objects into a candidate measurement object list; therefore, a candidate measuring object list is established in advance, when a measuring object is distributed to a terminal, the measuring object does not need to be reconstructed, and the configuration efficiency of ANR measurement is improved; and the candidate measuring object list established in the way comprises a plurality of specific measuring objects, so that the code stream length of the RRC message can be reduced, the transmission efficiency and the transmission success rate of the RRC message are improved, and the measurement efficiency and the measurement success rate of the ANR measurement are improved.
