Description

Cell evaluation method, device and computer readable storage medium

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a cell evaluation method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium.

Background

Non-independent (NSA) networking is a networking method with a dual-connection architecture. The dual connection architecture refers to that the terminal device can simultaneously use the radio resources of at least two different base stations including the primary station and the secondary station in a connected state. The primary station is an anchor point of the terminal device accessing the network, and is also called an anchor point station or an anchor point cell, and is used for providing a signaling control function of the terminal device accessing the network and providing a user plane data forwarding function, and the secondary station only provides additional user plane data forwarding resources for the terminal device, and may also be called a secondary cell.

In order to evaluate the coverage quality of an anchor cell, in the prior art, evaluation is generally performed based on a drive test and a fixed point test, a network management monitoring and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), and the like. However, the coverage of the drive test and the fixed-point test is limited, the investment cost is high, and the drive test and the fixed-point test are generally only applied at the initial stage of the networking; the network management monitoring focuses on the operation quality of network equipment, and lacks of comprehensive monitoring on the aspect of users and evaluation of service perception; DPI assesses service awareness through core network data, lacking wireless side quality assessment. In addition, the above schemes are evaluated based on data of the anchor point station itself, and the dual-connection condition of the anchor point station and the necessity of configuring the anchor point station cannot be judged from the data. Meanwhile, the scheme is not associated with a New Radio (NR) auxiliary station cell in dual connection with the NR auxiliary station cell, so that when a user perception problem occurs under NSA networking, delimitation of the problem cannot be performed, that is, it cannot be determined whether the NR auxiliary station cell covers the problem or an anchor point cell connected with the NR auxiliary station cell covers the problem, and further, positioning of a specific problem cell cannot be realized.

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. 2, a cell evaluation method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

s201, the cell evaluation device obtains measurement report data, wherein the measurement report data comprises measurement report data of one or more anchor cells in a set duration and measurement report data of one or more auxiliary cells having a dual-connection architecture with the one or more anchor cells.

As a possible implementation, the anchor cell may be an LTE cell and the secondary cell may be an NR cell.

As a possible implementation, the measurement report data may be measurement report data that is periodically reported in a certain time period, for example, the measurement report may be measurement report data that is periodically reported in a 10 second period, or the measurement report may be measurement report data that is periodically reported in a 20 second period. Of course, the measurement report data may also be periodically reported in other time lengths, which is not limited in the present application.

As one possible implementation, the measurement report data of the anchor cell includes one or more of a cell identification code of the anchor cell, a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) of the anchor cell, or a Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) of the anchor cell. For example, taking an anchor Cell as an LTE Cell as an example, a Cell identity of the anchor Cell may be recorded as an LTE Cell Global Identifier (Cgi), an RSRP of the anchor Cell may be recorded as an LTE RSRP, and an RSRQ of the anchor Cell may be recorded as an LTE RSRQ.

As one possible implementation, the measurement report data of the secondary cell having the dual connectivity architecture with the anchor cell includes one or more of a cell identity of the secondary cell, an RSRP of the secondary cell, an RSRQ of the secondary cell, or a signal to noise ratio (SINR) of the secondary cell. For example, taking the secondary cell as an NR cell as an example, the cell identifier of the secondary cell may be denoted as NRCgi, the RSRP of the secondary cell may be denoted as NRRSRP, the RSRQ of the secondary cell may be denoted as NRRSRQ, and the SINR of the secondary cell may be denoted as NRSINR.

S202, the cell evaluating device determines whether the first anchor cell is an essential anchor cell according to the measurement report data of the first anchor cell in the one or more anchor cells and the measurement report data of the one or more auxiliary cells having a dual connection structure with the first anchor cell.

The first anchor point cell is any one of one or more anchor point cells.

In this step, the cell evaluating apparatus can determine whether the first anchor cell is an essential anchor cell by using measurement report data of a first anchor cell among the one or more anchor cells and measurement report data of one or more secondary cells having a dual connection architecture with the first anchor cell, and when the first anchor cell is an essential anchor, performs the following step S203.

As a possible implementation, after step 202, if the first anchor cell is an unnecessary anchor cell, the anchor configuration of the anchor cell may be canceled subsequently. Of course, other operations may be performed on the first anchor cell, which is not limited in this application.

S203, if the first anchor point cell is a necessary anchor point cell, the cell evaluation device determines the network coverage state of the first auxiliary cell according to the measurement report data of the first auxiliary cell in one or more auxiliary cells with a dual-connection structure with the first anchor point cell; and the cell evaluation device determines the network coverage state of one or more anchor point cells in dual connection with the first auxiliary cell according to the measurement report data of the one or more anchor point cells in dual connection with the first auxiliary cell.

The first auxiliary cell is any one of one or more auxiliary cells having a dual connection architecture with the first anchor point cell.

As a possible implementation, if the cell evaluation apparatus determines that the network coverage state of the first secondary cell is not good, it may determine that the first secondary cell is a problem cell; or, if the cell evaluation apparatus determines that the network coverage state of an anchor cell in dual connectivity with the first secondary cell is not good, it may determine that the anchor cell is a problem cell.

In one aspect, in this embodiment of the present application, the measurement report data obtained by the cell evaluation device includes measurement report data of one or more anchor cells within a set duration and measurement report data of one or more secondary cells having a dual connectivity architecture with the one or more anchor cells, and the cell evaluation device may determine whether the first anchor cell is a necessary anchor cell according to the measurement report data of a first anchor cell of the one or more anchor cells and the measurement report data of the one or more secondary cells having a dual connectivity architecture with the first anchor cell, so based on this scheme, it may determine a dual connectivity condition of the anchor station and necessity of configuring the anchor station. On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the first anchor cell is the essential anchor cell, the cell evaluation device may respectively determine the network coverage status of the first auxiliary cell and the network coverage status of the one or more anchor cells in dual connectivity with the first auxiliary cell according to the measurement report data of the first auxiliary cell in the one or more auxiliary cells having a dual connectivity architecture with the first anchor cell and the measurement report data of the one or more anchor cells in dual connectivity with the first auxiliary cell. If the cell evaluation device determines that the network coverage state of the first auxiliary cell is not good, the first auxiliary cell can be determined to be a problem cell, and if the cell evaluation device determines that the network coverage state of an anchor point cell in dual connection with the first auxiliary cell is not good, the anchor point cell can be determined to be a problem cell. That is, based on this scheme, positioning of a specific problem cell can be achieved. In summary, based on the cell evaluation method provided in the embodiment of the present application, not only can the dual connectivity condition of the anchor point station and the necessity of configuring the anchor point station be determined, but also the specific problem cell can be located.

The above is a general description of the cell evaluation method provided in the present application, and the cell evaluation method provided in the present application will be further described below.

As to the step S202, as a possible implementation, the cell evaluating apparatus determines whether the first anchor cell is an essential anchor cell according to the measurement report data of the first anchor cell in the one or more anchor cells and the measurement report data of the one or more secondary cells having a dual connection architecture with the first anchor cell, including: the cell evaluation device determines the proportion of double connection of the first anchor point cell according to the measurement report data of the first anchor point cell in the one or more anchor point cells and the measurement report data of one or more auxiliary cells with a double connection structure with the first anchor point cell; if the proportion of the first anchor point cell for carrying out double connection is larger than a first threshold value, determining the first anchor point cell as a necessary anchor point cell; otherwise, determining the first anchor point cell as a non-essential anchor point cell.

For example, the cell evaluation apparatus determines a ratio of the number of measurement reports of one or more secondary cells having a dual connection architecture with the first anchor cell to the number of measurement reports of the first anchor cell as a proportion of the dual connection of the first anchor cell.

For example, taking an anchor cell as an LTE cell, an auxiliary cell as an NR cell, a set duration of 50 seconds, and a certain duration period of 10 seconds as an example, table 1 shows measurement report data of a first anchor cell and measurement report data of one or more auxiliary cells having a dual connection architecture with the first anchor cell provided in the present application as examples:

TABLE 1

The reportTime indicates the reporting time of the measurement report data, XX indicates that the cell data is not a null value and can be any value, and the blank cell indicates that the cell has no data or the data is a null value.

In combination with table 1, lteecell 1 has 6 measurement report data in 50 seconds, i.e. the number of measurement reports for lteecell 1 is 6. The presence of measurement report data for the secondary cell at 00:00:00, 00:00:20, 00:00:30, and 00:00:50 for lteecell 1 indicates that lteecell 1 is now dual-connected to the secondary cell, i.e., the number of measurement reports for one or more secondary cells having a dual-connection architecture with lteecell 1 is 4. Therefore, the ratio of dual connectivity by lteecell 1 to the number of measurement reports of one or more secondary cells having dual connectivity architecture with lteecell 1/the number of measurement reports of lteecell 1 is 4/6-2/3.

After determining the proportion of double connections made by the lteecell 1, the cell evaluation device compares the proportion of double connections made by the lteecell 1 with a first threshold, and determines the lteecell 1 as a necessary anchor cell if the proportion of double connections made by the lteecell 1 is greater than the first threshold; otherwise, lteecell 1 is determined to be an unnecessary anchor cell. For example, with the first threshold of 0.5, 2/3 ≈ 0.67 > 0.5, the cell evaluation apparatus may determine lteecell 1 as the necessary anchor cell.

As for step S203, as a possible implementation, the determining, by the cell evaluation apparatus, a network coverage status of the first secondary cell according to measurement report data of the first secondary cell in one or more secondary cells having a dual connection architecture with the first anchor cell includes: the cell evaluation device respectively determines the average value of N target parameters in the measurement report data of the first auxiliary cell within a first time length according to the measurement report data of the first auxiliary cell; if the average value of M target parameters in the average values of the N target parameters is larger than the corresponding preset threshold value, determining that the network coverage state of the first auxiliary cell is good; and otherwise, determining that the network coverage state of the first auxiliary cell has a problem, wherein the preset threshold is a threshold for evaluating the network coverage state of the auxiliary cell, N and M are positive integers, and N is larger than or equal to M.

For example, taking the anchor Cell as an LTE Cell, the secondary Cell as an NR Cell, the set time duration is 50 seconds, and the certain time duration period is 10 seconds as an example, table 2 shows measurement report data of the NR Cell1 and measurement report data of one or more LTE cells in dual connection with the NR Cell1 as an example:

TABLE 2

Note that the lack of data at 00:00:10 and 00:00:40 in table 2 above assumes that NRCell1 has no dual connectivity with other LTE cells at 00:00:10 and 00:00: 40.

In conjunction with table 2, it is assumed that there are 3 target parameters, i.e., N is 3, and NRRSRP, NRRSRQ and NRRSRQ are 3 target parameters in the measurement report data of NRCell1, where the average NRRSRP (-90) + (-100) + (-90) + (-100) is-95, the average NRRSRQ (-4) + (-8) is-6, and the average NRSINR is 10+2+ 6.

After determining the average value of the 3 target parameters in the measurement report data of NRCell1, the cell evaluation device compares the average value of the 3 target parameters with the threshold value for evaluating the secondary cell network coverage state corresponding to the target parameter, respectively. Taking the threshold value of NRRSRP of-105, the threshold value of NRRSRQ of-12, the threshold value of NRSINR of 0, and M of 2 as an example, the average NRRSRP of-95 > -105, the average NRRSRQ of-6 > -12, and the average NRSINR of 6 > 0, that is, there are 3 target parameters whose average value is greater than the corresponding preset threshold value in the average value of 3 target parameters, and the condition that there are 2 target parameters whose average value is greater than the corresponding preset threshold value in the average value of 3 target parameters is satisfied, so the cell evaluation device can determine that the network coverage state of the NRCell1 is good.

As to step S203, as a possible implementation, the determining, by the cell evaluation apparatus, a network coverage status of one or more anchor cells in dual connectivity with the first secondary cell according to measurement report data of the one or more anchor cells in dual connectivity with the first secondary cell includes: the cell evaluation device respectively determines the average value of P target parameters in the measurement report data of a second anchor point cell in one or more anchor point cells in dual connection with a first auxiliary cell according to the measurement report data of the second anchor point cell in one or more anchor point cells in dual connection with the first auxiliary cell, wherein the second anchor point cell is any one of the one or more anchor point cells in dual connection with the first auxiliary cell; if the average value of Q target parameters in the average values of the P target parameters is larger than the corresponding preset threshold value, determining that the network coverage state of the second anchor point cell is good; and otherwise, determining that the network coverage state of the second anchor point cell has a problem, wherein the preset threshold is a threshold used for evaluating the network coverage state of the anchor point cell, P and Q are positive integers, and P is larger than or equal to Q.

For example, taking lteecell 1 in table 2 as an example, in conjunction with table 2, it is assumed that there are 2 target parameters, i.e., P is 2, in the measurement report data of lteecell 1, and 2 target parameters, namely ltesrp and ltesrq, respectively, where average ltesrp (-110) + (-120) is-115 and average ltesrq (-12) + (-14) is-13.

After determining the average value of 2 target parameters in the measurement report data of lteecell 1, the cell evaluation device compares the average value of 2 target parameters with the threshold value corresponding to the target parameter and used for evaluating the coverage state of the anchor cell network. Taking the threshold value of LteRSRP as-105, the threshold value of LteRSRQ as-12, and Q as 2 as examples, the average LteRSRP as-115 < -105, and the average LteRSRQ as-13 < -12, that is, there are 0 target parameters in the average values of 2 target parameters that are greater than the corresponding preset threshold value, and the condition that there are 2 target parameters in the average values of 2 target parameters that are greater than the corresponding preset threshold value is not satisfied, so the cell evaluation device can determine that the network coverage status of the LteCell1 is problematic.

The method for the cell evaluation device to determine the network coverage status of lteecell 2 in table 2 is similar to the method for determining the network coverage status of lteecell 1 in table 2, and is not repeated here.

As a possible implementation, the present application further provides another method for determining a network coverage status of one or more anchor cells in dual connectivity with a first secondary cell, including: the cell evaluation device respectively determines the average value of A target parameters in the measurement report data of one or more anchor point cells in the first time length according to the measurement report data of the one or more anchor point cells in double connection with the first auxiliary cell, and if the average value of B target parameters in the average value of A target parameters is larger than a corresponding preset threshold value, the network coverage state of the one or more anchor point cells is determined to be good; otherwise, determining that the network coverage state of one or more anchor point cells has a problem, wherein the preset threshold is a threshold used for evaluating the network coverage state of the anchor point cells, A and B are positive integers, and A is larger than or equal to B. When it is determined that the network coverage status of one or more anchor cells has a problem, if the value of the target parameter of an anchor cell in the measurement report data of one or more anchor cells is smaller than the corresponding threshold value, it is determined that the anchor cell has a problem.

For example, taking table 2 as an example, in conjunction with table 2, it is assumed that there are 2 target parameters of the LTE cell, i.e., a is 2, and the 2 target parameters are LteRSRP and LteRSRQ, respectively, where the average LteRSRP of all LTE cells is (-110) + (-100) + (-110) + (-120) — 110, and the average LteRSRQ of all LTE cells is (-12) + (-14) + (-14) (-13.5.

After determining the average value of 2 target parameters in the measurement report data of lteecell 1, the cell evaluation device compares the average value of 2 target parameters with the threshold value corresponding to the target parameter and used for evaluating the coverage state of the LTE cell network. Taking the threshold value of all LTE cells LteRSRP to be-105, the threshold value of all LTE cells LteRSRQ to be-12, and B to be 2 as an example, the average value of all LTE cells LteRSRP to be-110 < -105, and the average value of all LTE cells LteRSRQ to be-13.5 < -12 exist, that is, the average value of 0 target parameters in the average values of 2 target parameters is greater than the corresponding preset threshold, and the condition that the average value of 2 target parameters in the average values of 2 target parameters is greater than the corresponding preset threshold is not satisfied, so the cell evaluation device can determine that the network coverage state of the LTE cell has a problem.

Further, after determining that the network coverage state of the LTE cell is problematic, the cell evaluation device may determine that the network coverage state of the LTE cell1 is problematic because lteersrp of the lteecell 1 is-110 < the corresponding preset threshold-105, and lteersrq of the lteecell 1 is-14 < the corresponding preset threshold-12. It should be noted that, when a target parameter of a certain anchor point cell is smaller than a corresponding preset threshold, it may be determined that the network coverage status of the anchor point cell has a problem.
