Description

Fixed network evaluation method and device and computer readable storage medium

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for evaluating a fixed network, and a computer-readable storage medium.

Background

After years of optical transformation of fixed networks, most provinces/direct municipalities/autonomous regions in China complete the construction of all-optical fixed networks, and the all-optical fixed networks generally adopt fiber to the x (FTTx) technology. With the increasing demand of services, FTTx is evolving towards the 5th generation fixed networks (F5G) with all-optical connectivity, enhanced fixed broadband, and very-induced experience features. Meanwhile, mobile communication networks are evolving towards a fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G).

The F5G and 5G networks can provide gigabit access capability for a single user, have the characteristics of ultra-large bandwidth, ultra-low time delay, advancement, reliability and the like, are complementary and mutually promoted, and are important components and bearing bases of novel infrastructures.

In the above-mentioned new infrastructure, in order to improve the operation efficiency, the telecom operator needs to find and develop a user with higher value, i.e. a high-value user, among many users.

Currently, each specific information of a user is usually abstracted into tags, and the user image is materialized by using the tags, so that a high-value user is found. However, this method only considers the user, and finds a high-value user from the user dimension, and lacks consideration on the network resources of the existing fixed network and the network resources of the mobile network of the telecommunication operator.

The method comprises the following steps: and determining a first area, and determining the efficiency evaluation index of the fixed network of the first area according to the number of the gigabit users in the first area and the total number of the building spaces in the first area. The gigabit broadband service guarantee rate of the fixed network covering the first area is greater than a first threshold, the rate of the mobile network covering the first area is greater than or equal to gigabit, the gigabit broadband service guarantee rate is used for indicating the guarantee capacity of the fixed network for the gigabit broadband service, the gigabit user number is the number of users for opening the gigabit broadband service of the target operator, and the efficiency evaluation index of the fixed network is used for indicating the utilization degree of network resources of the fixed network.

The following embodiments of the present application do not limit the scope of the present application.

The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application may be applied to various fixed networks, where a fixed network in the present application may refer to a network using an optical fiber access, that is, an FTTx network, such as a Passive Optical Network (PON), an Active Optical Network (AON), and the like.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of an FTTx structure provided in the present application is shown. The FTTx includes an Optical Network Terminal (ONT), an Optical Distribution Network (ODN), and an Optical Line Terminal (OLT). Wherein:

the ONT is a Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) in the FTTx, and is used to provide services such as voice, data, and multimedia for users. The ONT is also called an Optical Network Unit (ONU). Illustratively, the product form may be a home gateway.

The ODN employs a point-to-multipoint topology for providing an optical transmission channel between the OLT and the ONTs. In the AON, the OND is composed of active devices such as a router, a switching aggregator, an optical receiver, an optical transceiver module, and an optical amplifier. In the PON, the ODN is composed of passive devices such as a light splitter and the like, and does not comprise any electronic device and electronic power supply, so that the electromagnetic interference and lightning influence of external equipment are avoided, the fault rate of circuits and the external equipment is reduced, the network reliability is improved, and the maintenance cost is saved.

An ODN in a PON can be generally divided into a feeder section, a distribution section, and an ingress section, with the distribution section typically including one or more optical splitters. The optical splitter is a passive device and does not require external energy, as long as there is an input optical signal. Illustratively, when selecting feeder cables, it is mainly selected according to the routing condition, and when the route is tight, one or more of the following three cables are generally used: the optical cable comprises a rainwater pipeline optical cable, a slotted shallow buried optical cable and a micro air-blowing optical cable, wherein the cable cores of the three optical cables adopt common G.652 optical fibers. For the distribution cable, the assembly density of the optical cable is mainly required to be high, so that the cable diameter of the distribution cable is relatively small, branching and connection are facilitated, and no potential paste dripping is caused during vertical distribution. For the home-entry optical cable, the home-entry optical cable has good tensile resistance, bending resistance and lateral pressure resistance, and meanwhile, the cable core is generally made of G.657 optical fibers with a micro-bending function because the cable core is small in structure, convenient to pipe and arrange among buildings and convenient to terminate on site. The OLT is generally placed at the local side, and an upstream port of the OLT is connected to the metropolitan area network. The downstream port of the OLT may be referred to as a PON port. The PON port is typically connected to the CPE or ONT, e.g., to a home gateway, via the ODN. One PON port is usually connected to multiple CPEs or ONTs.

In some embodiments, the OLT may also be referred to as an optical access device or a PON device. The following embodiments of the present application take an optical access device as an example for explanation. In this application, downlink refers to a transmission direction from the optical access device to the ONT. Accordingly, the downlink refers to a link where the optical access device transmits data and/or signaling to the ONT. The transmission rate of the downlink is referred to as a downlink rate.

The uplink refers to the transmission direction from the ONT to the optical access equipment. Accordingly, the uplink refers to a link where the ONT transmits data and/or signaling to the optical access device. The transmission rate of the uplink is referred to as an uplink rate. In some embodiments of the present application, the uplink may also be referred to as an uplink.

Generally, the PON is mainly classified into an Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) and a gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) according to a technical route. An EPON is a passive optical network that combines an ethernet and a PON, and has the advantages of low cost, high bandwidth, strong scalability, compatibility with the ethernet, and convenience in management, and for example, the highest downlink rate that the EPON can provide is 1.25 gigabits per second (Gb/s). The GPON is a passive optical network based on the latest generation access standard, has the advantages of high bandwidth, high efficiency, large coverage area, rich user interfaces and the like, and can provide the highest downlink rate of 2.5 Gb/s.

The OLT in an EPON may be referred to as an EPON device and the OLT in a GPON may be referred to as a GPON device.

EPONs and GPONs are standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), respectively, and EPONs and GPONs can evolve forward. Illustratively, an EPON device may evolve towards a 10G EPON (10gigabit ethernet passive optical network) device, the highest downlink rate that the 10G EPON can provide being higher than the EPON; the GPON device may evolve to an XGPON (10gigabit capable passive optical networks) device, which may provide a higher maximum downlink rate than the GPON.

In some embodiments, the present application also provides an evaluation device, which can be used to evaluate the performance of a fixed network (e.g., FTTx described above). It may be a general-purpose device or a special-purpose device, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

The evaluation device 20 includes one or more processors 201, a communication bus 202, and at least one communication interface (which is only exemplified in fig. 2 to include a communication interface 204 and one processor 201), and further, may further include a memory 203.

The processor 201 may be a general processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or one or more ics for controlling the execution of programs in accordance with the present invention.

In particular implementations, processor 201 may also include multiple CPUs, such as CPU0 and CPU1 in fig. 2, as an example. And the processor 201 may be a single-core (single-CPU) processor or a multi-core (multi-CPU) processor. A processor herein may refer to one or more devices, circuits, or processing cores that process data (e.g., computer program instructions).

The communication bus 202 may be a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, an Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus, or the like. The bus may be divided into an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, etc. For ease of illustration, only one thick line is shown in FIG. 2, but it is not intended that there be only one bus or one type of bus. The communication bus 202 is used to connect the different components in the communication device 20 so that the different components can communicate.

The communication interface 204 is used for communicating with other devices or communication networks, such as a Radio Access Network (RAN), a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and the like. Alternatively, the communication interface 204 may be a transceiver, or the like. Optionally, the communication interface 204 may also be a transceiver circuit located in the processor 201 to realize signal input and signal output of the processor.

The memory 203 may be a device having a storage function. Such as, but not limited to, read-only memory (ROM) or other types of static storage devices that may store static information and instructions, Random Access Memory (RAM) or other types of dynamic storage devices that may store information and instructions, electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), compact disk read-only memory (CD-ROM) or other optical disk storage, optical disk storage (including compact disk, laser disk, optical disk, digital versatile disk, blu-ray disk, etc.), magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium that can be used to carry or store desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and that can be accessed by a computer. The memory may be self-contained and coupled to the processor via a communication bus 202. The memory may also be integral to the processor.

Optionally, the computer-executable instructions in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as application program codes, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

It should be noted that the constituent structure shown in fig. 2 does not constitute a limitation of the evaluation device, and the evaluation device may include more or less components than those shown in fig. 2, or combine some components, or arrange different components, in addition to the components shown in fig. 2.

The method provided by the embodiment of the present application will be explained below from the perspective of the evaluation device 20 shown in fig. 2 with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It is to be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the executing subject may perform some or all of the steps in the embodiments of the present application, and these steps or operations are merely examples, and the embodiments of the present application may also perform other operations or variations of various operations. Further, the various steps may be performed in a different order presented in the embodiments of the application, and not all operations in the embodiments of the application may be performed.

As shown in fig. 3, a method for evaluating a fixed network provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

s301, the evaluation device determines a first area.

The gigabit broadband service guarantee rate of the fixed network covering the first area is greater than a first threshold, and the rate of the mobile network covering the first area is greater than or equal to gigabit.

As a possible implementation, the rate of the fixed network covering the first area is greater than or equal to gigabytes. The gigabit broadband service guarantee rate is used to indicate the guarantee capability of the fixed network to the gigabit broadband service, and the guarantee capability can be understood as the capability of guaranteeing one or more Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the gigabit broadband service. The KPI may include, for example, an uplink rate, a downlink rate, an uplink delay, a downlink delay, an uplink packet loss rate, a downlink packet loss rate, and the like of the fixed network. That is to say, the gigabit broadband service guarantee rate of the fixed network can embody the capability of the fixed network to guarantee the normal use of the gigabit service.

For example, the mobile network with a rate greater than or equal to one gigabit is a fifth generation (5th generation, 5G) mobile communication network, or is a future mobile network, for example, a sixth generation (6th generation, 6G) mobile communication network, which is not limited in this application.

Illustratively, the first area may be a residential community, or a commercial building, a commercial/industrial campus, or other area including various buildings.

In some embodiments, the first area of the present application may also be referred to as a dual gigabit coverage area, or a dual gigabit network coverage area. Of course, other names may be available, and the present application is not limited to this.

As a possible implementation, the gigabit broadband service coverage rate may be determined according to the number of target PON ports in the first area and the total number of PON ports in the first area. And the load corresponding to the target PON port is smaller than the threshold value.

For example, the load corresponding to the target PON port being less than the threshold may include one or more of: the number of the gigabit users carried by the target PON port is smaller than or equal to a second threshold, the peak utilization rate of the target PON port is smaller than or equal to a third threshold, or the peak utilization rate of an uplink link of the optical access equipment where the target PON port is located is smaller than or equal to a fourth threshold.

The number of the gigabit users is the number of the gigabit broadband services of the target operator. For example, the target operator may be china unicom, china mobile, or china telecom, which is not limited in this application.

As a possible implementation, in GPON, the second threshold may be 5, the third threshold may be 30%, and the fourth threshold may be 50%. In EPON, the second threshold may be 2, the third threshold may be 30%, and the fourth threshold may be 50%. Illustratively, the threshold may be determined in consideration of a network convergence ratio and an actual throughput of the optical access device.

Based on the scheme, a target PON port meeting preset conditions and an optical access device to which the target PON port belongs can be determined, and for example, the optical access device to which the PON port belongs is determined according to an optical access device management IP address identifier corresponding to the PON port. And then, the office station to which the optical access equipment belongs and the geographical position of the office station are obtained by associating the management IP address of the optical access equipment with the related table entry in the comprehensive network management, so that the area covered by the service network of the optical access equipment can be determined, and further, the first area in the area covered by the service network of the optical access equipment is determined.

As a possible implementation, the number of PON ports is usually obtained from the number system and/or resource management system of the telecom operator; the number of gigabit users carried by the PON port can be acquired from a service support system and/or a number line system of a telecom operator; the peak utilization rate of the PON port and the uplink peak of the optical access device where the PON port is located may be obtained from a network element management system and/or a comprehensive network management system of the optical access device.

As a possible implementation, the broadband gigabit service guarantee rate of the fixed network in the first area, the number of ports of the target PON, and the total number of PON ports in the first area may satisfy:

the broadband gigabit service guarantee rate of the fixed network in the first area (the number of the target PON ports/the total number of the PON ports in the first area) is 100 percent

As a possible implementation, when the broadband gigabit service guarantee rate of the fixed network in the first area is less than or equal to the first threshold, it indicates that the number of target PON ports in the first area is small, that is, the number of PON ports whose number of gigabit users is greater than the second threshold on the optical access device in the first area is large, or the number of PON ports whose peak utilization rate is greater than the third threshold on the optical access device is large, or the number of optical access devices whose peak utilization rate of an uplink link is greater than the fourth threshold is large, and the optical access device load in the first area is large, so that the evaluation device may determine that network resources of the fixed network need to be supplemented in the first area.

Illustratively, the network resources of the fixed network may include optical access devices. The method for improving the network resources of the fixed network can be capacity expansion, for example, the number of optical access devices is increased; or to evolve the optical access device forward, e.g., to evolve an EPON device to a 10GEPON device, or to evolve a GPON device to an XGPON device.

Based on the scheme, when the broadband gigabit service guarantee rate of the first area is less than or equal to the first threshold, it is indicated that the load of the network resources of the first area is large, so that an operator can promote the network resources in the area, thereby reducing the occurrence of the situation that the user experience is reduced due to insufficient network resources, and promoting the user experience.

S302, the evaluation device determines the efficiency evaluation index of the fixed network in the first area according to the number of the gigabit users in the first area and the total number of the building spaces in the first area.

As a possible implementation, the total number of building spaces is the total number of partitioned spaces within the building. For example, if the first area is a residential community, the total amount of building space may be the number of houses in the residential community; the house number of a residential cell is usually derived from a cell dictionary in a resource management system, or number line system. In some possible implementations, the cell dictionary is also referred to as a building dictionary. There may be other names, which are not limited in this application.

If the first area is a commercial building, the total number of building spaces may be the number of shops of the commercial building. It should be noted that if there are multiple subscribers that open the gigabit broadband service of the target operator in one building space, it is considered that there are multiple gigabit subscribers in the building space.

The fixed network efficiency evaluation index is used for indicating the utilization degree of network resources of the fixed network. The network resources of the fixed network may refer to the related description in step S301, and are not described herein again.

As a possible implementation, the performance evaluation index of the fixed network in the first area may be specifically a ratio of the number of giga-subscribers in the first area to the total number of building spaces in the first area.

As another possible implementation, the performance evaluation indication of the fixed network of the first area may be: the ratio of the number of the giga-subscribers in the first area to the total number of the building space in the first area, and the weighted sum of the network speed qualification rates of the giga-subscribers in the first area.

As a possible implementation, the network speed qualification rate of the gigabit user in the first area is determined by the number of the gigabit users whose network rates of the ONT ends in the first area are greater than or equal to the sixth threshold and the number of the gigabit users in the first area.

For example, the network rate of the gigabit subscriber in the first area is 100% (the network rate of the ONT end in the first area is greater than or equal to the gigabit subscriber number of the sixth threshold/the gigabit subscriber number of the first area).)

As one possible implementation, the sixth threshold may be 1 Gb/s.

As a possible implementation, the network rate of the ONT end in the first area may be determined by: an auto-configuration server (ACS) of a telecom operator sends speed measurement request information to ONT/CPE;

after receiving the speed measurement request information, the ONT/CPE sends the speed measurement request information to the speed measurement server through an IP address or a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the speed measurement server; the ONT/CPE receives a speed measurement result returned by the speed measurement server; and the ONT/CPE returns speed measurement request response information to the ACS. The speed measurement request information and the speed measurement request response information are packaged through a TR069 protocol, and the speed measurement request response information comprises the ONT/CPE speed measurement result.

The TR069 protocol (family) and the corresponding TR069 (basic) parameter node are defined by a broadband forum (BBF), and the TR069 protocol (family) and the corresponding TR069 (basic) parameter node are responsible for configuring and managing CPE devices in a TR-069 protocol network architecture. The interface between the ACS and the CPE is a southbound interface, and the interface between the ACS and the management system is a northbound interface. The ACS sends speed measurement request information to the ONT/CPE as extended TR069 information, and the speed measurement parameter node is an extended TR069 parameter node. The ACS sends speed measurement request information to ONT/CPE to expand the content comprising: obtaining the internet speed of the ONT/CPE side, the IP address or URL of the speed measurement server, the wide area network connection (internet wan connection) of the internet channel of the ONT/CPE side, the X-th speed measurement (X can be a natural number larger than zero) and the like. The TR069 parameter node for the ACS to send the speed measurement request information extension to the ONT/CPE comprises the following steps: the method includes the steps of connecting a wide area network (internet wan connection) of an internet channel at an ONT/CPE side, the internet speed at the ONT/CPE side, an IP address/URL of a speed measurement server, the total number of speed measurements, an X-th speed measurement (X may be a natural number greater than zero), a flag bit indicating whether the X-th speed measurement is successful, the internet speed at the ONT/CPE side that needs to be returned and is obtained through the speed measurement, exemplarily, if the X-th speed measurement is successful, the internet speed at the ONT/CPE side that is obtained through the speed measurement is returned, the internet speed is greater than or equal to zero, and if the X-th speed measurement is failed, a NULL value, such as NULL, time for each speed measurement, and the like are returned.

Based on the above scheme, under the condition that both the speed of the fixed network covering the first area and the speed of the mobile network reach giga, and the broadband giga service guarantee rate of the fixed network of the first area is greater than the first threshold, the efficiency evaluation index of the fixed network of the first area is determined according to the number of users of the giga broadband service of the target operator in the first area and the total number of building spaces in the first area. Through the efficiency evaluation index, the utilization degree of the network resources of the fixed network in the first area can be obtained, so that whether to search for the value user in the first area can be judged according to the utilization degree of the network resources of the fixed network in the first area, and the operation efficiency of an operator is improved.

As a possible implementation, if the performance evaluation index of the first area is less than or equal to the fifth threshold, determining that the utilization degree of the network resources of the fixed network in the first area is low; and if the efficiency evaluation index of the first area is larger than the fifth threshold, determining that the utilization degree of the network resources of the fixed network in the first area is high.

For example, the fifth threshold may be determined by a performance evaluation index of an operator other than the target operator in the first area, or may be determined by a fixed network broadband service popularity rate of the area where the first area is located, which is not limited in this application.

Based on the scheme, the utilization degree of the network resources of the fixed network of the first area can be determined by comparing the efficiency evaluation index of the first area with a fifth threshold, and when the utilization degree of the network resources of the fixed network of the first area is determined to be low, it is indicated that the efficiency of the network resources of the fixed network of the target operator in the first area is not fully utilized, and then high-value users can be intensively developed aiming at the first area; when the utilization degree of the network resources of the fixed network of the first area is determined to be high, it is indicated that the network resource efficiency of the fixed network of the target operator in the first area is fully utilized, and the probability that the high-value users still exist in the first area is low, so that the high-value users are not subsequently and intensively developed in the first area. That is to say, the first region where the high-value user can be developed can be accurately determined according to the utilization degree of the network resources in the first region, so that the occurrence of the situation that the high-value user is developed blindly for a certain region is reduced, and the operation efficiency of an operator is improved.

In some embodiments, the method for evaluating a fixed network provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include: and determining a second area, and determining the efficiency evaluation index of the second area according to the number of the gigabit users in the second area and the total number of the building space in the second area, wherein the number of the gigabit users in the second area is the total number of the gigabit users in the plurality of first areas, and the total number of the building space in the second area is the sum of the total number of the building space in the plurality of first areas.

For example, the second area includes a first area #1, a first area #2, and a first area #3, the number of giga users in the area 1 is Q1, the total number of building spaces is J1, the number of giga users in the area 2 is Q2, the total number of building spaces is J2, the number of giga users in the area 3 is Q3, and the total number of building spaces is J3, so that the number of giga users in the second area is (Q1+ Q2+ Q3), the total number of building spaces in the second area is (J1+ J2+ J3), and the performance evaluation index of the second area is (Q1+ Q2+ Q3)/(J1+ J2+ J3).
