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.

In the description of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.

The 5G network has the advantages of high network speed, low network delay and the like. Due to the limitation of frequency bands and systems used by the 5G network, compared with a 4th generation mobile communication technology (4G) network, the 5G network has the characteristics of small coverage radius, high investment cost and high optimization difficulty in construction, operation and maintenance. In the initial stage of network establishment, the 5G network does not form continuous coverage, and the network coverage and the download speed anytime and anywhere do not meet the user's expectations, so that a terminal with 5G capability in a partial area (hereinafter referred to as a 5G terminal) cannot be connected to the 5G network. Particularly, in an indoor area and other areas, the problem of insufficient coverage of the 5G network is particularly obvious, so that the communication quality of the 5G network in the area is reduced, the problem of call drop is easily caused, the user experience is low, and the problem of low 5G residence ratio in the area is further caused.

For example, a 5G terminal may establish a connection with a 5G base station and communicate with other terminals within a coverage area of the 5G base station, and if the 5G base station is not deployed in a certain area or a network coverage area of the 5G base station in a certain area is insufficient, the 5G terminal may not establish a connection with the 5G base station, so that the 5G terminal may not perform network communication with other terminals, and the problem of poor user experience is caused. Therefore, it is an urgent need to improve the coverage of the 5G base station and improve the deployment accuracy of the 5G base station.

The application provides a 5G base station deployment method and a device, based on 4G network indexes such as the average wireless resource control connection number of a 5G terminal in a 4G network, user plane traffic of a 5G terminal on a 4G network and a downlink wireless link control layer protocol layer and the like, a potential high-value 5G area (namely, an area without 5G network coverage but with a lot of 5G terminals generating services) is identified, and the 5G base station is preferentially deployed in the potential high-value 5G area, so that 5G users in the area can use the 5G network at high frequency and high probability, good use experience is brought to the users, and the 5G residence ratio of the area is improved.

The following describes in detail a deployment method of a 5G base station provided in an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The terminal may be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication capability, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device or a wearable device, an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and a drone controller (UAV controller, UAVC), a virtual reality (virtual reality, VR) terminal device, an Augmented Reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal in industrial control (industrial control), a wireless terminal in unmanned driving (self), a wireless terminal in remote medical (remote medical), a wireless terminal in smart grid (smart grid), a wireless terminal in transit security (security), a wireless terminal in city security (city security), a wireless terminal in a wireless communication system, a wireless terminal in a wireless network, a wireless terminal, a wireless network, a, A wireless terminal in a smart home (smart home), etc. The terminal may be mobile or stationary. In the embodiment of the present application, the apparatus for implementing the function of the terminal may be the terminal, or may be an apparatus capable of supporting the terminal to implement the function, such as a chip system. In the embodiment of the present application, the chip system may be formed by a chip, and may also include a chip and other discrete devices. In the embodiment of the present application, a device for implementing a function of a terminal is taken as an example, and a technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is described. In the present embodiment, the terminal 12 may be a terminal having 5G capability.

Next, as shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a 5G base station deployment method, where the method is performed by a management device, and the method includes the following steps.

S201, the management device acquires the identifier of the terminal in the first area, and acquires the terminal with the 5G capability in the first area according to the identifier of the terminal.

The first area is an area where a 5G base station is to be deployed, and the first area comprises at least one cell. The management equipment can screen the data service bill generated by the data service of the terminal in the first area, and can screen the terminal with 5G capability in the first area.

Specifically, the management device may obtain a data service ticket generated when the terminal performs a data service in the first area, where the data service ticket includes an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the terminal, and compare the IMEI number of the terminal with a terminal database, so as to determine a terminal having a 5G capability in the first area (including a 5G dual-mode terminal, a 5G independent networking (SA) single-mode terminal, and a 5G non-independent Networking (NSA) single-mode terminal). The 5G-capable terminal may be a terminal supporting a 5G function and having a 5G-function chip mounted thereon.

S202, the management device acquires communication information of the terminal with the 5G capability in the first area.

The management equipment acquires communication information of a terminal with 5G capability in a first local area network from a database, wherein the communication information can be a 4G XDR (4G data exchange) ticket generated when the terminal with 5G capability is connected with a 4G network, and the XDR ticket is a call detailed record and a transaction detailed record extracted after original signaling data are analyzed, processed and associated according to the requirement of an application layer. The XDR ticket comprises a data service ticket and a switching type signaling ticket.

It can be understood that the 5G terminal may be connected to the 5G network within the coverage of the 5G base station network, and may also be connected to the 4G network if there is no 5G base station or the coverage of the 5G base station network is poor. The 5G terminal can generate a 5G data service ticket when performing data service on the 5G network, and can generate a 5G switching type signaling ticket when switching between different 5G networks. The 5G terminal performs data service on the 4G network to generate a 4G data service ticket, and performs switching among different 4G networks to generate a 4G switching type signaling ticket.

The handover-type signaling ticket may include a time point T1 before handover of the terminal, a time point T2 after handover, source cell information before handover, and target cell information after handover.

The data service ticket may include start and stop time of the terminal performing the data service, uplink and downlink traffic generated by performing the data service, and an IMEI number of the terminal, and may further include data such as an international mobile subscriber identity number (IMSI), an access network type, an interface type, a mobile phone number, and a mobile network code.

Illustratively, if the terminal a has the 5G capability, a handover-type signaling ticket generated by the terminal a may be acquired, where the handover-type signaling ticket includes a time point T1 before handover and a time point T2 after handover when the terminal a switches to a 4G network, and source cell information before handover and target cell information after handover

It will be appreciated that different cells may be covered by different 4G networks. When the terminal A resides in the B cell, the terminal A is connected with the 4G network of the B cell and is based on the network service provided by the 4G network of the B cell. When the terminal A leaves the cell B and arrives at the cell C, the 4G network connected with the terminal A is switched from the 4G network of the cell B to the 4G network of the cell C, and the network service provided by the 4G network of the cell C is based.

The data service bill generated at the S11-U port when the terminal a performs the data service can also be obtained, and the time period for the terminal a to perform the data service can also be calculated. The data service ticket includes the START-stop time (START _ T, END _ T) of each data service performed by terminal a, and the uplink and downlink traffic generated by each data service performed.

S203, the management device determines a first number of 4G cells in which the 5G-capable terminal resides from the first area according to the communication information of the 5G-capable terminal.

The first number of 4G cells in which the terminal with 5G capability resides may be referred to as a first number of resident 4G cells of the 5G terminal.

Optionally, the first number of resident 4G cells of the 5G terminal may adopt any one of the following designs.

After the management device acquires the 5G terminal in the first area, a 4G XDR ticket generated by the 5G terminal in a statistical period (for example, a natural week) may be acquired.

In case 1, the management device may determine, from the first area, that the 5G terminal always resides in the 4G cell according to comparison between communication time of the 5G terminal in the cell of the first area and preset time.

Specifically, taking a terminal a with 5G capability in the first area as an example, according to a 4G data service ticket and a 4G handover class ticket generated by the terminal a in the first area, a 4G cell list providing a network service for the terminal a may be obtained, and a total duration for the terminal a to perform a data service in the 4G cell and a duration list for the terminal a to perform a data service in each 4G cell may also be obtained.

Optionally, the duration list of the data service performed by the terminal a in each 4G cell is screened, and if the duration of the data service performed by the terminal a in any 4G cell per day exceeds 4 hours and exceeds sixty percent of days (for example, five days) in a statistical period (for example, seven days in a natural week), the cell may be marked as a resident 4G duration cell of the terminal a. According to the duration of data service, each terminal can mark 2 4G cells satisfying the condition.

By performing the above operation on each 5G terminal in the first area, a resident 4G long cell of each 5G terminal in the first area can be obtained. The resident 4G long cells of the 5G terminals in the first area may be taken as a first number of resident 4G cells of the 5G terminals in the first area.

In case 2, the management device may determine, from the first area, that the 5G terminal always resides in the 4G cell according to comparison between data traffic of the 5G terminal in communication with the cell of the first area in a preset period and preset traffic.

According to the 4G data service call ticket and the 4G switching class call ticket generated by the terminal A in the first area, the total flow generated by the terminal A in the 4G cell for data service and the flow list generated by the terminal A in each 4G cell for data service can be obtained.

Similarly, a traffic list generated by the terminal a performing data service in each 4G cell is screened, and if the traffic generated by the terminal a performing data service in any 4G cell per day exceeds the preset traffic of 200mbit and exceeds sixty percent of days in the statistical period, the cell can be marked as a resident 4G traffic cell of the terminal a. According to the duration of data service, each terminal can mark 2 4G cells satisfying the condition.

By performing the above operation on each 5G terminal in the first area, the resident 4G traffic cell of each 5G terminal in the first area can be obtained. The resident 4G traffic cells of the 5G terminals in the first area may be taken as a first number of resident 4G cells of the 5G terminals in the first area.

In case 3, the management device may determine, from the first area, that the 5G terminal always resides in the 4G cell according to comparison between the communication duration of the 5G terminal in the cell of the first area and the preset duration, and comparison between the communication traffic and the preset traffic.

The above case 1 and case 2 can obtain 2 resident 4G long cells and 2 resident 4G traffic cells of the terminal a in the first area. Further, 2 resident 4G long-time cells and 2 resident 4G flow cells of the screened terminal A are further screened. If there are duplicate cells among the 4G cells, the duplicate cells are deleted, and a cell set is generated (the cell set may include at most 4G cells, or may include at least 2 4G cells). The cell set is marked and can be marked as a resident 4G cell of the terminal A.

By performing the above operation on each 5G terminal in the first area, a resident 4G cell of each 5G terminal can be obtained. And then a first number of resident 4G cells of the 5G terminals in the first area can be determined.

S204, the management device determines a second number of cells to be deployed with the 5G base station from the first number of 4G cells according to the load information and the threshold of the first number of 4G cells.

The management device further screens the first number of resident 4G cells of the 5G terminals in the first area according to the load information and the threshold of each 4G cell in the first number of 4G cells, and determines a third number of 4G cells, wherein the third number of 4G cells can be called high-load 4G cells.

Alternatively, the high-load 4G cell may adopt any one of the following designs.

In case 1, a third number of 4G cells is determined from the first number of 4G cells based on the number of users in each 4G cell in the first number of 4G cells and a user number threshold.

For example, if any one 4G cell among the 4G cells in which the 5G terminal always resides in the first area satisfies that the average number of users connected by the cell radio resource control is greater than the user number threshold value by 80, the 4G cell may be regarded as a high-load cell, the above-mentioned screening may be performed on the resident 4G cells of each 5G terminal, and a third number of high-load 4G cells may be determined from the first number of resident 4G cells.

In case 2, a third number of 4G cells is determined from the first number of 4G cells based on the packet data convergence protocol traffic and the traffic threshold of each of the first number of 4G cells.

For example, if any 4G cell among the 4G cells where the 5G terminal always resides in the first area satisfies that the cell PDCP traffic is greater than the traffic threshold by 8.4 bytes (byte), the 4G cell may be regarded as a high-load cell, the above-mentioned screening may be performed on the resident 4G cells of each 5G terminal, and a third number of high-load 4G cells may be determined from the first number of resident 4G cells.

In case 3, a third number of 4G cells is determined from the first number of 4G cells according to the downlink physical resource block utilization and the utilization threshold of each 4G cell in the first number of 4G cells.

For example, if any 4G cell among the 4G cells in which the 5G terminal often resides in the first area satisfies that the PRB utilization rate is greater than seventy percent of the utilization rate threshold, the 4G cell may be used as a high-load cell, the above-mentioned screening may be performed on the resident 4G cells of each 5G terminal, and a third number of high-load 4G cells may be determined from the first number of resident 4G cells.

And in case 4, combining the situations 1, 2, and 3, if any 4G cell among the 4G cells where the 5G terminal always resides in the first area meets the conditions that the average number of users in RRC connection of the cell is greater than the user number threshold 80, the PDCP flow is greater than the flow threshold 8.4Byte, and the downlink PRB utilization of the cell is greater than seventy percent of the utilization threshold, the 4G cell may be used as a high-load cell, the above-mentioned screening may be performed on the resident 4G cell of each 5G terminal, and a third number of high-load 4G cells may also be determined from the first number of resident 4G cells.

It is to be understood that if the load information of any one 4G cell of the first number of resident 4G cells meets the threshold requirement, the first number of resident 4G cells may be high load 4G cells, and thus, the third number and the first number may be equal. If the load information of at least one 4G cell of the first number of resident 4G cells does not meet the requirement of the threshold, the third number is smaller than the first number.

Further, the management device determines a second number of cells to be deployed with the 5G base station from the third number of 4G cells according to the determined load information of the third number of high-load 4G cells and the threshold.

Optionally, the cells of the second number of 5G base stations to be deployed may adopt any one of the following designs.

In case 1, according to the average number of radio resource control RRC connections and the connection number threshold of the network of each 4G cell in the third number of 4G cells of the 5G terminal, a second number of cells to be deployed with the 5G base station are determined from the third number of 4G cells.

For example, if the number of RRC connections of the 5G terminal in any 4G cell of the third number of high-load 4G cells is greater than the threshold of 5 connections, the cell may be used as a cell to which the 5G base station is to be deployed, and the above screening may be performed on each high-load 4G cell, so that the cells of the second number of 5G base stations to be deployed may be determined from the third number of high-load 4G cells.

And 2, determining a second number of cells to be deployed with the 5G base station from the third number of 4G cells according to the uplink RLC layer user plane traffic and the traffic threshold of the network of each 4G cell in the third number of 4G cells of the 5G terminal.

For example, if the uplink RLC layer user plane traffic of the 5G terminal in the network of any one 4G cell of the third number of high-load 4G cells is greater than the traffic threshold by 10 gigabytes (GByte), the cell may be used as a cell to which the 5G base station is to be deployed, and for each high-load 4G cell, the above-mentioned screening may be performed, and a cell of the second number of 5G base stations to be deployed may be determined from the third number of high-load 4G cells.

And in case 3, determining a second number of cells to be deployed with the 5G base station from the third number of 4G cells according to the downlink RLC layer user plane traffic and the traffic threshold of the network of each 4G cell in the third number of 4G cells of the 5G terminal.

For example, if the downlink RLC layer user plane traffic of the 5G terminal in any 4G cell of the third number of high-load 4G cells is greater than the traffic threshold 80GByte, the cell may be used as a cell to which the 5G base station is to be deployed, and the above screening may be performed on each high-load 4G cell, so that the cells of the second number of 5G base stations to be deployed may be determined from the third number of high-load 4G cells.

Case 4 may be combined with case 1, case 2, and case 3, if any one 4G cell in the third number of high-load 4G cells may satisfy that the average number of RRC connections of the 5G terminal in the 4G network is greater than 5, the uplink RLC layer user plane traffic of the 5G terminal in the 4G network is greater than 10GByte, and the downlink RLC layer user plane traffic of the 5G terminal in the 4G network is greater than 80GByte, the cell may be determined as a cell in which the 5G base station is to be deployed, the above-mentioned screening may be performed for each high-load 4G cell, and the second number of cells in which the 5G base station is to be deployed may be determined from the third number of high-load 4G cells.

It can be understood that, if the load information of any one of the third number of high-load 4G cells meets the requirement of the threshold, the third number of high-load 4G cells may be 4G cells to which the 5G base station is to be deployed, and thus, the second number and the third number may be equal. And if the load information of at least one cell in the high-load 4G cells of the third number does not meet the requirement of the threshold value, the second number is smaller than the third number.

Illustratively, the management device can know that 6 4G cells A, B, C, D, E and F exist in the first area through an XDR ticket of the terminal in the first area, and can know that A, D, F cell is a resident 4G cell of the 5G terminal Z through analysis of the 4G XDR ticket generated by the 5G terminal Z in the first area in a natural week. Further, for the 4G load situation of the A, D, F cell, the situation that the 5G terminal is connected to the 4G network, and the 5G service focusing situation, it is found that the A, D, F cell satisfies the situation that the 5G terminal and the 5G service are aggregated but the coverage of the 5G network is insufficient, and for the 4G load situation, a > D > F, in the subsequent 5G base station deployment, the 5G network coverage of the a cell can be preferentially improved, and the 5G base station is preferentially deployed in the a cell, so that the deployment accuracy of the 5G base station is improved.

Based on the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the service duration of the data service performed by the 5G terminal in the 4G cell and the uplink and downlink traffic generated by the data service are analyzed according to the 4G XDR ticket generated by the 5G terminal in the 4G cell in the first area, so as to obtain the resident 4G cell of the 5G terminal in the first area. It is easy to understand that, since the 5G terminal does not have the 5G base station network coverage near the resident 4G cell or the 5G base station network coverage is poor, the 5G terminal cannot be connected to the 5G network, and thus the 5G terminal is connected to the 4G network. Therefore, the 5G base station needs to be preferentially deployed in the 5G terminal resident 4G cell. Further, load information of the resident 4G cell is further screened, if the connection of 4G users in a certain resident 4G cell is close to saturation, and at this time, a 5G terminal cannot be connected to the 5G network so as to be connected to the 4G network, so that all users (including 4G users and 5G users) in the resident 4G cell cannot enjoy the convenience brought by the network, and therefore, a 5G base station needs to be preferentially deployed in a high-load 4G cell in the resident 4G cell of the 5G terminal, the deployment accuracy of the 5G base station is improved, and the 5G terminal in the high-load 4G cell can be connected to the 5G network so as to enjoy good user perception of large bandwidth and high rate brought by the 5G network. Therefore, the network resources occupied by the 5G terminal in the high-load 4G cell can be released, and the 4G terminal user in the high-load 4G cell can normally enjoy the convenience brought by the network.

In some embodiments, after acquiring the 4G cell to be deployed with the 5G base station, as shown in fig. 3, the method further includes.

S301, the management device judges whether each cell of a second number of cells to be deployed with 5G base stations comprises the 5G base stations according to the network working parameters of the first area.

The network engineering parameter information comprises information of a downward inclination angle, an azimuth angle, scene beam configuration and the like of any one of the 4G base stations and the 5G base stations in the first area.

For example, assume that the latitude and longitude of a second number of 4G cells to be deployed with 5G base stations is (LON) _4G ，LAT _4G ) The longitude and latitude of the 5G cell near the 4G cell is (LON) _5G ，LAT _5G ) The distance (D) between the 4G cell and the 5G cell can be calculated, wherein the radius of the earth is 6371 Kilometer (KM).

In an urban area scene, if D is less than or equal to 0.5KM, that is, a 5G base station is included near a 4G cell where the 5G base station is to be deployed, the 5G cell may be used as a potential 5G coverage cell. If D is greater than or equal to 0.5KM, it may represent that there may be no 5G base station near the 4G cell where the 5G base station is to be deployed, and it is necessary to preferentially deploy the 5G base station to the 4G cell.

In a non-urban area scene, if D is less than or equal to 1KM, that is, a 5G base station is included near a 4G cell where the 5G base station is to be deployed, the 5G cell may be used as a potential 5G coverage cell. If D is greater than or equal to 1KM, it may represent that there may be no 5G base station near the 4G cell where the 5G base station is to be deployed, and it is necessary to preferentially deploy the 5G base station to the 4G cell.

Step S302 may be executed if the cell to be deployed with the 5G base station includes the 5G base station, and step S303 may be executed if the cell to be deployed with the 5G base station does not include the 5G base station.

S302, the management equipment optimizes the 5G base station contained in the cell to be deployed with the 5G base station.

The above determination is performed on all 5G cells around the 4G cell, so that a potential 5G coverage cell list can be obtained.

For example, further determining the number of 5G flows back according to the 5G coverage cell, if the total number of times that the 5G cell returns to the 4G cell triggered by the network coverage is greater than 3000 times in a statistical period (for example, a natural period), it may be determined that 5G network coverage exists near the 4G cell, but the 5G network coverage quality may be weak due to the fact that a building blocks the 5G network coverage quality, and the 5G network coverage quality is improved by performing 5G network optimization on the 5G cell, so that a 5G terminal in the 4G cell where a 5G base station is to be deployed nearby can enjoy good perception brought by the 5G network.

The 5G backflow frequency, that is, the total number of times that the 5G cell returns to the 4G cell triggered by the network coverage reason, may be understood as that a 5G terminal of the 4G cell may connect to a 5G network of a nearby 5G cell, but because the 5G network coverage effect of the 5G cell is weak, the 5G terminal of the 4G cell may be disconnected from the 5G network of the 5G cell, so that the 5G terminal of the 4G cell may connect to the 4G network again. The number of times that the 5G terminal is connected to the 4G network due to interruption with the 5G network may be referred to as a 5G backflow number.

S303, the management equipment deploys the 5G base station in the cell where the 5G base station is to be deployed.

For example, if the total number of times of returning to the 4G cell triggered by the 5G cell due to the network coverage is less than 3000 times of the threshold, it may be determined that the 5G network coverage is insufficient near the 4G cell, and a 5G base station may be preferentially deployed for the 4G cell where the 5G base station is to be deployed, so as to improve the 5G network coverage.

Based on the embodiment shown in fig. 3, it is first determined whether a 5G cell exists in a certain range near a 4G cell where a 5G base station is to be deployed according to network engineering parameter information. If no 5G cell exists in a certain range, a 5G base station needs to be deployed for the 4G cell of the 5G base station to be deployed, and the deployment accuracy of the 5G base station is improved. If a 5G cell exists in a certain range, network optimization can be preferentially performed on the 5G cell according to the backflow frequency of the 5G cell, so that the coverage quality of the 5G network is improved, or a 5G base station is preferentially deployed on a 4G cell where the 5G base station is to be deployed, so that the coverage rate of the 5G network is improved. According to the actual requirements of users, the 5G network is optimized, or the 5G base station is preferentially deployed in the 4G cell where the 5G base station is to be deployed, so that the positioning and solving of the network coverage problem are more efficient, the deployment accuracy of the 5G base station is improved, the coverage quality of the 5G network is improved, and 5G terminal users in the 4G cell where the 5G base station is to be deployed can enjoy good user perception of large bandwidth and high speed brought by the 5G network in time.

In some embodiments, for at least one of the geographical areas managed by the operation and maintenance personnel, the method provided in the foregoing steps S201 to S204 may be adopted to determine the area where the 5G base station is to be built.

In one case, the management device may rank at least one area according to a ratio of the number of resident 4G cells in each area to the total number of 4G cells in the area, and determine an area in which 5G base station deployment or 5G network optimization is preferentially performed. It can be understood that, if the ratio of the 5G terminal resident 4G cell in an area to the total number of the 4G cells in the area is higher, the 5G network that the 5G terminal in the area can be connected to is less, and the 5G base station can be preferentially deployed in the area, so that the 5G base station can be preferentially deployed in the area accurately according to the actual demand of the user, so that the 5G terminal user in the area can enjoy the network experience of large bandwidth and high speed brought by the 5G network in time, and further the 5G resident ratio in the area can be improved.

In another situation, if, in a statistical period (for example, a natural period), the ratio of the total duration of the data service performed by the 5G terminal a in the 4G cell to the total duration of the data service performed by the 5G terminal a in the 5G cell (including the total duration of the data service performed in the 4G cell and the total duration of the data service performed in the 5G cell) exceeds 50 percent, and the ratio of the uplink and downlink traffic generated by the data service performed by the 5G terminal a in the 4G cell to the total traffic of the data service performed by the 5G terminal a (including the total traffic generated by the data service performed in the 4G cell and the total traffic generated by the data service performed in the 5G cell) exceeds 30 percent, the 5G terminal a may be marked as a very potential 5G terminal. It can be understood that if a certain 5G terminal often uses a 4G network, it may represent that the area in which the 5G terminal is located has insufficient 5G network coverage.

Further, a ratio of the number of very potent 5G terminals in the first area to the total number of 5G terminals in the first area may be determined. Further, the ratio of the number of 5G terminals with the highest potential in each area to the total number of 5G terminals in the area can be determined. The higher the occupancy, the less 5G coverage is available in the area, and the 5G base station needs to be preferentially deployed in the area. After the 5G base station is deployed in the area, 5G users in the area can use the 5G network at high frequency and high frequency, user experience is improved, and further the 5G residence ratio of the area is improved.
