The character "/" generally indicates that the former and latter associated objects are in an "or" relationship.
In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" means two or more, and other terms are similar thereto.
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Conventionally, air interface data of a radio access network has important significance for protocol alignment between devices, performance analysis of a network system level, network specification and network optimization and the like. With the rapid deployment of the 5G network, the demand of intelligent management and control and optimization of the network by using advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data is stronger. The artificial intelligence technology utilizes massive historical data to carry out model training, and obtains real-time or near-real-time control instructions through deduction of network real-time data to dynamically control the network. In the process of network intelligent control, whether training or derivation, high-quality wireless network data is required to be driven.
Alliances such as an Open-Radio Access Network (O-RAN) introduce an Open Radio Access Network architecture, and take a wireless intelligent control function as an important component. Under the framework, the intelligent control algorithm can be deployed in a network as a third-party application. The introduction of third-party ecology entails the need for data diversification. The diversity is not only reflected in the variety of parameters, but also includes the diversity of statistical, computational and correlation methods.
In a traditional access network, a network management system obtains network data by reporting some predefined statistical parameters through a base station. The meaning and the format of the data are relatively fixed and cannot be dynamically added; the reporting period is long, for example, one reporting is carried out within 15 minutes, and the real-time performance of data is poor. Because the data are statistical values, the data granularity is large, and the situation of rapid change of the network cannot be reflected. Obviously, the traditional network data cannot meet the requirement of intelligent management and control of the open wireless network. Obtaining real-time, fine-grained, multi-dimensional network data becomes a new challenge for 5G networks.
Although complete air interface data can be obtained from a baseband software module in a base station, due to the tight coupling of the data collection function and the code logic of the L1 software module and the L2 software module, the software code of the base station needs to be modified when new data is added every time, and the stability of software is influenced; and the data collection function is scattered at each position of the code and is difficult to maintain, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of data collection of an L2 software module provided by the prior art, and as shown in fig. 1, the processing of transmission parameters, bit error rate and channel quality is scattered in different sub-modules, so that the participation of a plurality of sub-modules is required for data collection in an L2 software module, and the maintenance difficulty is high; in addition, because the data volume of the air interface is large, the performance of software can be influenced by using a base station software module for acquisition, and the real-time performance of the system is further influenced; in addition, because the base station software of each manufacturer is different, a universal third-party data acquisition scheme cannot be provided at present.
In order to solve the above problem, embodiments of the present application provide a solution, where an intermediate proxy software module independent of base station protocol stack software is used to analyze interface messages of an L1 software module and an L2 software module, so as to obtain original air interface data; and an external data processing system is used for post-processing the original data to provide various information meeting the requirements of users. The implementation of the scheme reduces the coupling degree of a data acquisition function and base station protocol software, and can acquire complete air interface data on the premise of not modifying the logic of the base station software, thereby avoiding the influence on the stability and performance of the base station and providing possibility for a third party to provide a data acquisition scheme which is independent of the base station software.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for acquiring air interface data according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to a proxy module in a baseband processing unit BBU, and the proxy module is disposed between an L1 module and an L2 module in the BBU, and establishes communication connections with an L1 module and an L2 module, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps:
200, receiving a first message sent by an L1 module or an L2 module; the first message is an interactive message transmitted between the L1 module and the L2 module;
specifically, in order to collect complete air interface data without modifying the logic of the Base station software, so as to avoid the influence on the stability and performance of the Base station, in this embodiment of the application, a proxy software module (i.e., a proxy module) is added on the basis of an original software module of a Base Band Unit (BBU), and is responsible for data collection, and the proxy module is disposed between the L1 and the L2 module and establishes communication connections with the L1 and the L2 module, respectively.
When the L1 module needs to deliver the interactive message to the L2 module or the L2 module needs to deliver the interactive message to the L1 module, the interactive message may be sent to the proxy module, so that the proxy module may receive the interactive message and obtain the required air interface data from the interactive message. It can be understood that the interactive messages transmitted between the L1 module and the L2 module include various baseband air interface data, and complete air interface data can be obtained by receiving and parsing the interactive messages.
Step 201, after determining that the first message includes the target air interface data based on the message type, analyzing the first message to obtain the target air interface data.
Specifically, after receiving the interactive messages transmitted between the L1 module and the L2 module, the proxy module may determine whether the received interactive messages are useful messages or useless messages according to the message types of the interactive messages, so as to determine whether the interactive messages need to be analyzed, and extract target air interface data. The useful message type refers to a preset message type which needs to be analyzed, and the message type usually comprises air interface data which needs to be collected, namely target air interface data; the useless message type refers to other message types except the useful message type, and the message type usually does not contain air interface data required to be collected.
It should be noted that the useful message type and the useless message type may be adjusted according to the need of actual data collection, for example, when data in all interactive messages needs to be collected, all message types may be set as useful message types, and when only some interested air interface data needs to be collected, only the message types that may contain the air interface data may be set as useful message types.
If the message is determined to be a useful message type according to the type of the received interactive message, it indicates that the message contains air interface data required to be collected and is a message requiring data extraction, and the agent module can analyze the message to acquire target air interface data from the message. For example, the L2 module may obtain the time-frequency resource position, modulation mode, data block size, transmission mode, and other data information of the transmission in the downlink data transmission configuration message of a certain time slot sent by the L1 module. The time granularity of the acquired target air interface data may be in units of time slots, and the proxy module may identify the data according to a frame number, a time slot number, an RNTI (Radio Network Temporary Identifier), and the like after extracting the data.
Optionally, the target air interface data includes at least one of the following:
(1) data content transmitted by an uplink and downlink data channel;
(2) the size of uplink and downlink transmission data blocks;
(3) allocating physical Resource blocks PRB (physical Resource Block) of uplink and downlink channel time-frequency resources;
(4) uplink and downlink data transmission mode, multiple Input multiple output, mimo, (Multi Input Multi output), beam and power information;
(5) an uplink and downlink transmission modulation coding mode;
(6) transmitting results of uplink and downlink data;
(7) a downlink Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), (channel Quality indicator), a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), (precoding Matrix indicator) or a Rank Indicator (RI), (rank indicator) fed back by a User Equipment (UE);
(8) the L1 module measures the signal to Interference plus Noise ratio sinr (signal to Interference plus Noise ratio) or timing advance ta (timing advance) of the uplink channel;
(9) the configuration, decoding and measurement results of physical Random Access channel (prach), physical Uplink Control channel (pucch), or channel sounding Reference signal (srs), and other channels;
(10) transmission contents of channels such as a physical Broadcast channel pbch (physical Broadcast channel) or a physical Downlink Control channel pdcch (physical Downlink Control channel);
(11) reference Signal configuration such as demodulation Reference Signal dmrs (demodulation Reference Signal) or Channel State Information Reference Signal CSI-RS (Channel State Information-Reference Signal).
It should be noted that the above-mentioned target air interface data is only a part, but not all, listed in this embodiment, and according to an actual application scenario, the air interface data understood by a person skilled in the art may be the target air interface data described in this embodiment.
According to the method for acquiring the air interface data provided by the embodiment of the application, the proxy module is arranged between the L1 module and the L2 module in the BBU, and the proxy module can receive the interactive message transmitted between the L1 module and the L2 module and acquire the target air interface data from the interactive message, so that the coupling degree of a data acquisition function and base station protocol software is reduced, complete air interface data can be acquired on the premise of not modifying the logic of the base station software, and the influence on the stability and performance of the base station is avoided.
Optionally, after receiving the first message sent by the L1 module or the L2 module, the method further includes:
forward the first message received from the L2 module to the L1 module; or
The first message received from the L1 module is forwarded to the L2 module.
Specifically, in this embodiment of the present application, a direct interface connection is no longer established between the L1 module and the L2 module, and an interactive message transmitted between the L1 module and the L2 module may be forwarded through the proxy module, so that normal message transmission may be performed between the L1 module and the L2 module, and an influence on an original function of the base station is avoided.
Optionally, after the target air interface data is obtained, the method further includes:
and sending the target air interface data to the data processing system so that the data processing system can perform data association and information extraction on the target air interface data.
Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, after the proxy module acquires the target air interface data, the target air interface data may be sent to a data processing system deployed outside, and depending on a requirement on data real-time performance, data sending may be performed in real time, or may be sent in batch after a certain amount of data is collected, or may be set to be sent periodically.
The externally deployed data processing system may perform post-processing on the data after receiving the target air interface data, including data association and information extraction.
The data association may be generated at different time slots and performed in association with the same transmitted target air interface data. Different information of the same transmission may be dispersed in different original data, for example, one downlink transmission and result feedback occur in different time slots, so that transmission parameter data and result data are generated at different times and come from different messages.
The information extraction can be to perform induction statistics of different time dimensions on the data according to the requirements of data users, and extract different types of information. For example, when the user needs the correlation between the bit error rate and the interference, the system may perform statistics of the bit error rate and the average signal-to-noise ratio on the original transmission result data and the interference measurement data according to the time granularity of second, so that the user can determine the correlation degree between the two according to the change rule of the extracted data.
According to the method for acquiring air interface data provided by the embodiment of the application, after the proxy module acquires the target air interface data, the target air interface data can be sent to an externally deployed data processing system for post-processing, so that various statistical information can be flexibly extracted on the basis of the originally acquired air interface data, and various changing requirements can be met.
Optionally, the establishing communication connections with the L1 module and the L2 module, respectively, includes:
and establishing communication connection with the L1 module and the L2 module respectively based on the same interface communication mode.
Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the proxy module may respectively establish a communication connection with the L1 module and the L2 module based on the same interface communication mode, for example, a shared memory interface communication mode or a UDP (User data program, User Datagram Protocol) interface communication mode, and the like, which is not specifically limited herein, and may be selected according to an actual application scenario, as long as the same interface communication mode as that between the original L1 module and the L2 module is adopted, for example, a communication connection established by the shared memory interface communication mode is adopted between the L1 module and the L2 module in the original BBU, the proxy module may respectively establish a communication connection with the L1 module and the L2 module based on the shared memory interface communication mode, so that the addition of the proxy module is transparent to the L1 module and the L2 module, and avoids affecting the original functions of the L1 module and the L2 module.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a BBU architecture and an external data processing system provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3, in the embodiment, a proxy software module is added on the basis of an original software module of a BBU to be responsible for data collection; the externally deployed data processing system is responsible for the reception and post-processing of data.
In this architecture, the L1 module and the L2 module no longer establish a direct interface connection. The agent module acts between the L1 module and the L2 module and establishes interface connection with the L1 module and the L2 module respectively; the same interface communication mode between the original L1 module and the L2 module is adopted between the L1 module and the proxy module and between the L2 module and the proxy module. The addition of the proxy module is therefore transparent to the L1 module and the L2 module. The interactive messages between the L1 module and the L2 module are forwarded through the proxy module.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for acquiring air interface data according to an embodiment of the present application, where as shown in fig. 4, the method includes the following steps:
and step 400, interface message analysis.
After receiving the interface message sent by the L1 or L2 module, the proxy module forwards the message, analyzes the message, and determines whether the message type is a message type containing valid data information (i.e., air interface data information that needs to be collected).
If the L1 and L2 modules use a standard Interface message format, such as a FAPI (Functional Application Platform Interface) Interface, the proxy module may parse according to the standard format. If the L1 and L2 modules use custom interface message formats, the agent module parses according to the custom format.
And step 401, extracting original data.
The proxy module retrieves useful raw data from the interface message. For example, the L2 module may obtain information about the location of the time-frequency resource, the modulation scheme, the size of the data block, the transmission mode, and the like of the transmission in a downlink data transmission configuration message of a certain time slot sent by the L1 module. The time granularity of the raw data is typically in time slots. After extracting the data, the agent module can identify the data according to the frame number, the time slot number, the RNTI and the like.
Messages passed between the L1 module and the L2 module contain slot data for each slot, including:
(1) data content transmitted by an uplink and downlink data channel;
(2) the size of uplink and downlink transmission data blocks;
(3) allocating results of PRB (physical resource block) of uplink and downlink channel time frequency resources;
(4) uplink and downlink data transmission mode, MIMO, beam and power information;
(5) an uplink and downlink transmission modulation coding mode;
(6) transmitting results of uplink and downlink data;
(7) downlink channel CQI, PMI or RI information fed back by UE;
(8) an L1 module measures the obtained results of SINR or TA and the like of the uplink channel;
(9) configuring, decoding and measuring results of channels such as PRACH, PUCCH or SRS and the like;
(10) transmission contents of channels such as PBCH or PDCCH;
(11) and configuring reference signals such as DMRS or CSI-RS.
In addition, decoding a MAC (Medium Access Control) PDU (Protocol Data Unit) transmitted between the L1 module and the L2 module can also obtain air interface Data information of an RRC (Radio Resource Control) layer.
And step 402, data transmission.
The agent module sends the collected raw data to the data processing system. Depending on the real-time requirement of the data, the data transmission can be carried out in real time, or can be carried out in batch after a certain amount of data is collected.
And step 403, receiving data.
The data processing system receives the raw data and stores the data.
And step 404, associating data.
Different information of the same transmission may be dispersed in different raw data. For example, a downlink transmission and result feedback occur in different time slots, so that the transmission parameter data and result data are generated at different times and originate from different messages. To facilitate information extraction, the data processing system needs to correlate the data and establish a mapping of transmission parameters and results.
Step 405, information extraction.
The data processing system conducts induction statistics of different time dimensions on data according to the requirements of data users, and extracts different types of information. For example, when the user needs the correlation between the bit error rate and the interference, the system may perform statistics of the bit error rate and the average signal-to-noise ratio on the raw transmission result data and the interference measurement data at a time granularity of seconds. And the user judges the association degree of the extracted data according to the change rule of the extracted data.
Compared with the existing air interface data acquisition scheme, the embodiment has the following advantages:
