Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The embodiments of the present invention provide a method for mapping NB-IoT coverage conditions by using LTE MR data conversion, which is implemented by the following ideas: by utilizing the characteristic of different-frequency MR measurement of an LTE terminal, MR data of an LTE FDD900 site in a similar mode with an NB-IoT (radio base station) in the same frequency band are collected, 2 scenes of common antenna feed and non-common antenna feed are respectively considered, an optimal cell pair of the LTE and the NB-IoT is determined, different factors such as the difference of the LTE and the NB-IoT transmitting power, the difference of loss, shadow fading, a terminal difference coefficient and the like are calculated, a coverage conversion relation of the LTE and the NB-IoT is established, the LTE MR data is converted, the NB-IoT MR data is mapped, and the coverage condition of the NB-IoT network is evaluated.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for determining NB-IoT network coverage in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, where, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes the following steps:
step 100, determining a target LTE cell corresponding to an NB-IoT cell to be evaluated, wherein the target LTE cell and the NB-IoT cell belong to cells with the same frequency band and the same system;
in the embodiment of the method, if the coverage of one NB-IoT cell needs to be evaluated, a proper LTE cell needs to be found in the LTE network, and the coverage of the NB-IoT cell to be evaluated is converted through the coverage of the LTE cell because the existing NB-IoT network does not support handover, voice and MR measurement. The suitable LTE cell is a target LTE cell, and the LTE cell and the NB-IoT cell belong to cells with the same frequency band and the same system.
Specifically, the embodiment of the method utilizes the characteristic that the LTE terminal supports multi-frequency sweep, acquires MR data of an LTE FDD900 station in a similar system with the same frequency band of the NB-IoT through different-frequency MR measurement of the LTE terminal, then determines an optimal cell pair converted by the LTE and the NB-IoT, and finds a target LTE cell.
Step 101, calculating a difference factor for coverage conversion between the NB-IoT cell and the target LTE cell;
after determining the best cell pair for the LTE and NB-IoT conversion, i.e., finding the target LTE cell, the difference factor for the coverage conversion between the NB-IoT cell and the target LTE cell can be calculated. The difference factor may include a terminal difference and/or a loss difference in two scenarios, a co-fed scenario and a non-co-fed scenario, respectively.
Step 102, based on the difference factor, and the obtained cell parameter corresponding to the NB-IoT cell and the obtained cell parameter and cell measurement value corresponding to the target LTE cell, a corresponding coverage conversion algorithm is selected to obtain a reception level of the NB-IoT cell, so as to determine a coverage condition of the NB-IoT network.
According to the method for determining the coverage situation of the NB-IoT network, the coverage situation of the NB-IoT network is determined based on the coverage situation conversion mapping of the LTE cell by determining the target LTE cell which has the same frequency band and the same system as the NB-IoT cell to be evaluated, combining the cell parameters of the target LTE cell and the NB-IoT cell and the cell measured value of the target LTE cell and considering the difference factor for the coverage conversion between the NB-IoT cell and the target LTE cell.
Based on the embodiment of the method, the precondition for realizing the coverage conversion of LTE and NB-IoT is that the selection of the LTE and NB-IoT cell pairs respectively considers two scenes of common antenna feed and non-common antenna feed of LTE and NB-IoT:
and for a common antenna feedback scene, taking an LTE cell which is common to an NB-IoT cell as the target LTE cell. Specifically, for a common antenna feed scenario, the LTE cell and NB-IoT cell of the common antenna feed are determined as the best cell pair. The common antenna feeder judgment basis is as follows: judging whether the cell pairs are commonly fed or not through RRU information in the LTE network engineering parameter table and the NB-IoT network engineering parameter table, and if the RRU outgoing sequence number (RRU-ESN) of the LTE FDD900 cell is consistent with that of the NB-IoT cell, determining that the 2 cells are commonly fed cells.
For a non-common antenna feedback scene, determining the target LTE cell according to a preset judgment rule; the LTE cell with the highest priority coefficient is the target LTE cell, and the priority coefficient corresponding to the lower priority value is higher, and the priority value is the sum of the height coefficient, the direction angle coefficient and the inclination angle coefficient. The judging rule comprises the following steps: for LTE cells with a distance less than a preset distance:
the antenna hanging height difference value is smaller than a first threshold value, and the height coefficient is recorded as 0; when the height coefficient is larger than the first threshold value, the height coefficient is increased by 0.1 when the exceeding part exceeds the first threshold value, and the height coefficient is counted by the first threshold value when the height coefficient is smaller than the first threshold value;
the azimuth angle difference value is smaller than a second threshold value, and the direction angle coefficient is recorded as 0; when the direction coefficient is larger than the second threshold value, the direction coefficient is increased by 0.2 when the exceeding part exceeds the second threshold value, and the direction coefficient is counted by the second threshold value when the exceeding part is smaller than the second threshold value;
the downward inclination angle difference value is smaller than a third threshold value, and the inclination angle coefficient is recorded as 0; when the inclination angle coefficient is larger than the third threshold value, the inclination angle coefficient is increased by 0.1 when the exceeding part exceeds the third threshold value, and the inclination angle coefficient is smaller than the third threshold value by the third threshold value.
Specifically, for a non-common antenna feed scenario, the best cell pair for LTE and NB-IoT conversion is determined by comprehensively considering station distance, antenna hanging height difference, azimuth angle difference, downtilt angle difference, and the like. And traversing the LTE FDD900 cell of the current network to perform industrial parameter matching by taking the longitude and latitude of the NB-IoT cell, the antenna hanging height, the azimuth angle and the downward inclination angle as references, and performing priority ranking according to the correlation coefficient to obtain the optimal cell pair. Wherein,,
i. if there is a cell pair with a distance less than 50 meters, then
The antenna hanging height difference value is less than 3 meters, and the coefficient is recorded as 0; when the height coefficient is greater than 3 meters, the height coefficient is added with 0.1 when the height coefficient exceeds 3 meters, and the height coefficient is less than 3 meters and is calculated as 3 meters;
the coefficient is recorded as 0 when the azimuth difference is smaller than 3 degrees; when the angle is larger than 3 degrees, the direction coefficient is added by 0.2 when the angle exceeds 3 degrees, and the angle is smaller than 3 degrees and is calculated by 3 degrees;
the coefficient is recorded as 0 when the downward inclination angle difference is smaller than 3 degrees; when the angle is larger than 3 degrees, the inclination angle coefficient is increased by 0.1 when the exceeding part exceeds 3 degrees, and the angle is smaller than 3 degrees and is calculated as 3 degrees.
All pairwise cell pairs of NB-IoT cells are valued: min (height coefficient+direction angle coefficient+inclination angle coefficient), the smaller the value is, the higher the priority is; if the cell pairs with equal min values exist, the cell pairs with small distances are given high priority.
if there is no cell pair with a distance less than 50 meters, then
And checking and confirming whether longitude and latitude errors or common antenna feed information are abnormal on site, and if the longitude and latitude errors or common antenna feed information are not abnormal, temporarily not performing coverage conversion on the NB-IoT cell.
Based on the method embodiment, for the common antenna feedback scene, because the LTE FDD900 and the NB-IoT are in the same frequency band, according to path loss model analysis, the path loss of the LTE FDD900 and the NB-IoT is the same in theory, and the actual receiving level and the pilot power difference are equivalent.
One important difference between NB-IoT networks and existing LTE networks is that terminals of LTE networks are typically held in a person's hands, while NB-IoT networks are typically located deep inside a building, where "person" network terminals and "object" network terminals have a difference in location distance. The terminal differences of the "people" and "things" networks need to be considered when making the coverage conversion of LTE and NB-IoT.
The terminal difference is mainly reflected in the distance, and according to a free space path loss formula:
R=32.2+20*log(D)+20*log(M)
under the same frequency band condition, the terminal difference calculation formula is as follows: delta = NB transmit power-LTE transmit power-20 log (D N /D L ),D N For the distance between NB-IoT terminal and corresponding base station, D L Is the distance between the LTE terminal and the corresponding base station.
Typical NB-IoT RS transmission power is 32.2, LTE RS transmission power is 18.2, terminal distances of NB-IoT and LTE FDD900 are calculated by using TA values, according to current network NB-IoT and LTE site performance statistics, the average TA of NB-IoT terminals is 1842.14 meters, the average TA of LTE FDD900 terminals is 652.78 meters, and the terminal difference delta=5dB can be calculated.
Correspondingly, in the above method embodiment, based on the difference factor, and the obtained cell parameter corresponding to the NB-IoT cell and the obtained cell parameter corresponding to the target LTE cell, a corresponding coverage conversion algorithm is selected, and a reception level of the NB-IoT cell is obtained, including:
the reception level of the NB-IoT cell is calculated according to the following formula:
NB reception level = NB transmit power- [ (LTE transmit power-LTE reception level) ] -terminal difference; the NB transmitting power is a cell parameter corresponding to an NB-IoT cell, the LTE transmitting power is a cell parameter corresponding to the target LTE cell, and the LTE receiving level is a cell measured value corresponding to the target LTE cell.
And the coverage conversion relation of the LTE network and the NB-IoT network in the common antenna feed scene is established, and conversion mapping is carried out.
On the basis of the method embodiment, for the non-common antenna feed scene, the difference factors are terminal difference and loss difference. The terminal difference is obtained according to the above method embodiment, and will not be described herein.
For non-common antenna feed scenarios, NB-IoT antenna gain, LTE antenna gain, and loss differences need to be considered.
The loss difference is calculated according to the following formula:
PL(i,j)=Cell(i).TxPower-Cell(i).TxLoss+AntennaGain(i)-AveRxPower(i,j);
among them, cell (i). TxPower is the base station transmission power of Cell (i), and pilot signal power is used in practical applications.
Cell (i). TxLoss is signal shadow fading, mainly comprising base station antenna feeder loss, ground feature penetration loss, shadow fading; shadow fading considers the fading margin, and is calculated by using standard deviation and cell edge coverage probability, and the formula is as follows: SFM (dB) =q -1 (1-Pr EdgeCoverage ) X σ, pr is the edge coverage probability, σ is the standard deviation of shading attenuation, and the two values are referenced in the table below. Signal fading values may be derived from different scenarios.

AntennaGain (i) is the antenna gain of Cell (i), and AveRxPower (i, j) is the RS power received by the terminal.

Correspondingly, the method selects a corresponding coverage conversion algorithm based on the difference factor and the acquired cell parameter corresponding to the NB-IoT cell and the acquired cell parameter and cell measurement value corresponding to the target LTE cell to obtain a receiving level of the NB-IoT cell, specifically: and selecting a corresponding coverage conversion algorithm based on the difference factor and the obtained device parameters corresponding to the target LTE cell and the NB-IoT cell, the obtained cell parameters corresponding to the target LTE cell and the obtained cell measurement values, and obtaining the receiving level of the NB-IoT cell.
Specifically, the reception level of the NB-IoT cell is calculated according to the following formula:
NB reception level = NB transmit power + NB antenna gain- [ (LTE transmit power + LTE antenna gain-LTE reception level) +loss variance ] -terminal variance; the method comprises the steps that NB transmitting power is a cell parameter corresponding to an NB-IoT cell, NB antenna gain is a device parameter corresponding to the NB-IoT cell, LTE antenna gain is a device parameter corresponding to the target LTE cell, LTE transmitting power is a cell parameter corresponding to the target LTE cell, and LTE receiving level is a cell measured value corresponding to the target LTE cell.
