Description
Technical Field
The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a load balancing method and device based on periodic measurement reports.
Background
With the explosive growth of mobile internet applications, users' acceptance of services such as mobile phone internet access, video on demand, sending and receiving mails, downloading and the like is changed into dependence, and mobile operators must provide larger bandwidth and capacity to meet the requirements of users. With the gradual increase of 4G network users, the single carrier and the dual carrier in the hot spot region cannot meet the requirements of users on large bandwidth and high capacity. However, from the view of actual network load, users are concentrated in one or two cells in a station in many scenarios, and there are fewer users in other cells in the station covered by the same network, and meanwhile, the number of users in some base stations covered by the same network is different by 9-11 times, and a method for controlling the number of users by parameter adjustment on site is almost not feasible. There is a need to achieve intra-site and inter-site cell load balancing.
The part of the TD-LTE (Time Division Long Term evolution) system is balanced with the covered load, a base station firstly needs to select a proper adjacent cell, then selects a certain number of users to configure the Measurement configuration of the frequency point of the adjacent cell A4 (the Measurement event of load balancing, and the Measurement configuration is reported when the adjacent cell is higher than the threshold), and when a terminal reports the MR (Measurement Report), the base station switches the user to the adjacent cell; when the user selects at present, the A2 (when the pilot frequency starts a measurement event, the serving cell reports when the serving cell is lower than the threshold) measurement report (when the pilot frequency measurement threshold is started, the measurement report is reported) is considered as an edge user, and the A2 measurement report which is not reported is considered as a center user. In an actual network scene, the selected user is often difficult to report an a4 measurement report of a neighboring frequency point, so that the user cannot be balanced, and the load balance among cells cannot be completed.
The equalization method in the prior art comprises the following steps: firstly, when the selection reaches high load, firstly selecting a balanced adjacent cell; secondly, configuring the user selection of measurement, reporting the user which is not reported as a central user and is measured by A2, reporting the user which is measured by A2 as an edge user, preferentially selecting the measurement of central user configuration A4, and selecting the measurement of edge user configuration A4 when the central user can not select enough users; thirdly, user sorting: 1) load balancing based on PRB (Physical Resource Block): sorting the priority levels from low to high according to QCI (QoS Class identifier, wherein QoS represents Quality of Service) established by a user, namely, the priority level is low in priority balance; sequencing the PRB utilization rate of the users from high to low with the same priority, namely preferentially balancing the users with low QCI priority and high PRB utilization rate; 2) load balancing based on the number of users: sorting the priority levels of the QCIs established by the user from low to high, namely, balancing the priority levels with low priority levels; sequencing the PRB utilization rates of the users with the same priority from low to high, namely preferentially balancing the users with low QCI priority and low PRB utilization rate; the aim is to balance more users as much as possible; fourthly, carrying out A4 measurement configuration of load balancing on the selected users; fifthly, carrying out load balancing switching on the users reporting the A4 measurement; and sixthly, completing the load balancing process.
In the above-mentioned existing method, under the same coverage scenario in part of the inter-station stations, the base station distinguishes between the central user and the edge user by reporting a2 measurement, but the external field a2 measurement configuration belongs to the optimized parameter, different configuration values in different cities are different, even if the configuration difference of different base stations in the same city is large, when the configuration values in a2 are different, the effect of load balancing is directly affected, for example: when the configuration value of A2 is-95 dB, the A2 threshold is not easy to meet, users reporting A2 measurement reports in a cell are fewer, and a central user is easy to select; the A4 configured with load balancing is easier to report after measurement, and the load balancing can be realized. When the configuration value of a2 is-80 dB, the threshold of a2 is easily met, users reporting a2 measurement report in a cell are more and are not easy to select a central user, and at this time, the users reporting a2 measurement report need to select from the users reporting a2 measurement report, and under this condition, RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power, i.e., level value) of the users reporting a2 measurement report is between-80 dB and-110 dB, the users are randomly selected for the base station, and a user configured with load balance a4 of about-100 dB is likely to be selected, so that the user is difficult to report an a4 measurement report normally when the user is at the edge of the cell, and the user cannot be balanced, and the load balance between cells cannot be completed, so that the use of the user is affected by a long-time high-load state of the cell.

firstly, the priority of QCI is sorted from low to high, and the priority of the users with low priority of QCI is balanced in the front; the priority value of QCI is low is high. When a User has multiple QCIs, it is determined whether a DRB (Data Radio Bearer) with a QCI of 5 exists in a UE (User Equipment), and if the DRB does not exist, a QCI with a minimum priority value (highest priority) among all QCIs of the User is selected as the QCI of the User. If the user has a DRB with QCI of 5, further determining whether the user has a DRB with QCI not equal to 5, and if so, selecting the QCI with the smallest priority value (highest priority) from the remaining QCIs as the QCI of the user. Otherwise, if the user does not have other DRBs with QCI not equal to 5, then QCI 5 is selected as the user's QCI.
Secondly, sorting the PRB occupancy rates from high to low or from low to high under the condition that the QCI priorities are the same, and sorting the PRB occupancy rates from high to low if the process is based on the load balancing process of the PRBs, so as to reduce the PRB occupancy rate of the cell as fast as possible; if the load balancing process is based on the number of users, the PRB occupancy rates are sorted from low to high, and the aim is to balance the users as much as possible without causing high load of the adjacent cells.
Thirdly, under the condition that QCI priorities are the same and PRB occupancy rates are the same, the RSRP level values are sorted from high to low, and the purpose is to ensure that a user can report a load-balanced A4 measurement report as much as possible to achieve the effect of load balancing;
further, on the basis of the above embodiment of the method, the method further comprises:
s105, estimating the PRB occupancy of the user in the candidate list, if the sum of the PRB occupancy of the user in the candidate list and the current PRB occupancy of the neighbor cell is greater than or equal to a PRB load threshold of the neighbor cell, determining that the user in the candidate list can cause high downlink load of the neighbor cell after being balanced into the neighbor cell, and otherwise determining that the user in the candidate list cannot cause high downlink load of the neighbor cell after being balanced into the neighbor cell;
s106, the uplink PRB occupation amount of the user in the candidate list is estimated, if the sum of the uplink PRB occupation amount of the user in the candidate list and the current neighbor uplink PRB occupation amount is larger than or equal to a neighbor uplink PRB load threshold, it is determined that the uplink high load of the neighbor can be caused after the user in the candidate list is balanced into the neighbor, and otherwise, it is determined that the uplink high load of the neighbor cannot be caused after the user in the candidate list is balanced into the neighbor.

b6, sequentially selecting a candidate user from the balanced user candidate list according to the sorting priority to prepare for balancing, and sequentially selecting the user reporting the measurement report of the load balancing A4 to balance;
b7, judging whether a PRB load balancing algorithm switch is opened in a part of the same-coverage adjacent cells, and dividing the conditions into two conditions:
if the PRB load balancing algorithm switch is turned on, entering step B8;
if the PRB load balancing algorithm switch is closed, performing step B10;
b8, deleting the A4 measurement of the user, and selecting the next user reporting load balance A4 according to the sequence;

if the user can cause high downlink load of the adjacent cell after balancing the user into the adjacent cell, the step B7 is carried out;
if the user does not cause high downlink load of the adjacent cell after balancing the user into the adjacent cell, performing step B10;
the prejudging method comprises the following steps: estimating the occupancy of the downlink PRB of the selected user to be balanced, and acquiring the occupancy of the downlink RRB of the current adjacent cell through interaction with the adjacent cell, wherein if the occupancy of the downlink PRB of the selected user to be balanced is a, the occupancy of the downlink PRB of the current adjacent cell is b, and the load threshold of the downlink PRB of the adjacent cell is c, when a + b is greater than c, the user can cause high downlink load of the adjacent cell after being balanced into the adjacent cell, and when a + b is less than c, the user can not cause high downlink load of the adjacent cell after being balanced into the adjacent cell;
b10, pre-judging whether the user will cause the high load of the uplink of the adjacent cell after balanced entering the adjacent cell, and dividing into two conditions:
