Detailed Description
The following description of the technical solutions according to the embodiments of the present application will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
The capacity expansion scheme determination method provided by the application can be applied to various communication systems, such as a wireless network, a wired network or a combination of the wireless network and the wired network. The wireless network includes, but is not limited to: a fifth Generation mobile communication technology (5 th-Generation, 5G) system, a Long term evolution (Long term evolution, LTE) system, a global system for mobile communication (global system for mobile communication, GSM) or code division multiple access (code division multiple access, CDMA) network, a wideband code division multiple access (wideband code division multiple access, WCDMA) network, the internet of things, wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, wiFi), bluetooth (blue), zigbee (Zigbee), radio frequency identification technology (radio frequency identification, RFID), long Range (Lora) wireless communication, near field wireless communication (near field communication, NFC). The wired network may include a network of fiber optic communications or coaxial cables, etc.
The present application is exemplified by a wireless network. In general, in a wireless network architecture, access devices may be deployed in multiple areas, a user may access a wireless network by connecting the access devices, and the range covered by each access device may be referred to as a cell.
The access device may include a base station (eNodeB, eNB) in long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE), a base station (gndeb, gNB) in New Radio, NR), and so on. For example, from a product aspect, the base station is a device with a central control function, such as a macro base station, a micro base station, a hot spot (pico), a home base station (femeta), a Transmission Point (TP), a Relay (Relay), an Access Point (AP), and the like.
The user referred to by the present application may be a terminal, or may be a carrier device of a user account, etc. For example, the user may include an account logged in to the device, or may refer to a device that carries the account, etc. For example, the user equipment may be a terminal device, such as a mobile phone, a computer, a bracelet, a smart watch, a data card, a sensor, a Station (STA), etc.
When there are multiple access devices, one of the access devices may be used as a management node, or a separate management node may be provided, where the management node is used to manage the multiple access devices, such as allocating a frequency band, controlling on or off, and so on. It will be appreciated that the method provided by the application may be performed by the management node to enable management of the cells covered by the respective access devices.
The network architecture to which the present application is applied may be illustrated in fig. 1, where a plurality of access devices are included, and a coverage area of one or more access devices may be regarded as a cell, or one or more access devices may be set in a cell. In a wireless network cell, as the number of network users increases and the user traffic (dataflow of usage, DOU) increases, the traffic carried by the wireless cell increases, and it may be difficult for a cell network device to meet the increasing user traffic demand, so that the cell needs to be expanded in time to carry more network cell users and network traffic, thereby avoiding network congestion, user experience reduction and user loss caused by being unable to carry more network cell users and network traffic.
In some common capacity expansion modes, when a cell is busy, when the carrier busy rate is greater than a threshold (such as 60%), the throughput of the cell is greater than the threshold (such as 3GB or 0.7GB upstream), and the 'RRC average connection number' is greater than the threshold (such as 50), the capacity expansion is performed by increasing the carrier frequency; when the cell is busy, the carrier frequency is increased when the 'RRC maximum connection number' is larger than the threshold (such as 200). According to the capacity expansion method of the capacity expansion threshold, the capacity expansion of the network equipment can be conveniently carried out, but due to the fact that the actual network condition is complex, the single threshold judgment method cannot take the difference of the carrying capacity of the network equipment caused by factors such as cell users, service differences and the like into consideration; in addition, the capacity expansion method judged by the threshold value performs early warning when the corresponding network index of the cell exceeds the threshold value, the capacity expansion period for carrying out capacity expansion is longer at the moment, cell congestion can occur in the capacity expansion period, and the user experience is reduced and the clients are lost.
In other capacity expansion modes, a machine learning model for judging the state of the network equipment can be trained by acquiring network performance data of the network equipment, and the state of the network equipment is determined by the judging model and the network equipment performance data acquired in real time, so that whether capacity expansion processing is performed on the target network equipment is determined. However, the method for judging the state of the network equipment based on the machine learning model can judge and analyze the state of the network equipment in real time, and has real-time performance, but the method cannot discover whether the network equipment needs to be expanded in advance or not, and cannot know the time required for reaching the state of the network equipment to be expanded.
Therefore, the application provides a capacity expansion scheme determining method, which predicts the flow suppression points of cells through the flow change condition of the cells with flow suppression and the similarity among the cells, so as to determine the capacity expansion scheme according to the predicted suppression points, thereby expanding the capacity before the network flow suppression occurs, covering the capacity expansion period and avoiding the loss caused by the flow suppression.
Referring to fig. 2, a flow chart of a capacity expansion scheme determining manner provided by the present application is as follows.
201. First traffic information of at least one first cell is acquired.
In the present application, the cells may be divided into a plurality of types, and in order to facilitate the distinction between a first cell, i.e., a cell acquired to generate traffic with a depression, and a second cell, i.e., a cell not generating traffic depression. Traffic throttling, i.e. the increase in the number of users in a cell, is reduced, and it can be understood that as the number of users increases, the increase in the number of users is reduced, i.e. the network bandwidth may not meet the traffic demand of the users, and congestion may be caused.
The number of the first cells may be one or more, and the number of the second cells may be one or more.
The first traffic information includes information of the number of users in at least one first cell and the change condition of the usage traffic in a period of time, for example, the number of users in a plurality of first cells and the change condition of the usage traffic in one month can be collected in an hour unit.
In one possible implementation, step 201 may specifically include: and acquiring initial flow information of one or more first cells, namely, the value of the number of users in a period of time and the value of the corresponding generated flow, screening the acquired initial flow information, and deleting abnormal values in the initial flow information, such as a value far away from a curve.
Optionally, clustering the initial flow information in a clustering mode, such as an unsupervised clustering method of DBSCAN, hierarchical clustering and the like, and removing clustered outliers; and the data is thinned, so that the influence of uneven data distribution on the fitting result is reduced.
202. And fitting a first association relation between the number of users and the used flow according to the first flow information.
Wherein, after obtaining the first traffic information of at least one first cell, the association relationship between the number of users and the usage traffic is fitted based on the first traffic information, which is called a first association relationship for convenience of distinction.
It can be understood that the information on the number of users and the usage traffic in the cell where the traffic suppression has occurred is obtained to fit the correlation between the number of users and the usage traffic.
203. And obtaining the similarity between at least one first cell and at least one second cell.
Wherein the degree of similarity between each first cell and each second cell, i.e. the degree of similarity between each cell that has generated traffic suppression and each cell that has not generated traffic suppression, can be calculated.
In particular, the similarity may be calculated including, but not limited to, at least one dimension of cell characteristics, handover data, cell RRC average number of users, or cell traffic. The cell characteristics may include information such as the number of devices in the cell, the number of single boards of the devices, the system of the devices, the bandwidth supported by the devices, and the like, and the handover data may include data generated by the user switching the cell, such as switching time, switched cell information, and the like, where the handover data may be used to characterize the degree of association between the cells, and the average number of users in the cell RRC, that is, the number of users in the cell that establish RRC connection, and the cell traffic, that is, the traffic generated by the devices in the cell, and the like.
If the first cell information of each first cell can be acquired, the first cell information includes at least one of first cell feature information, first handover data, a first cell RRC average user number or cell traffic, and second cell information of a second cell is acquired, the second cell information includes at least one of second cell feature information, second handover data, a second cell RRC average user number or cell traffic; the similarity between each second cell and the at least one first cell is then calculated based on the first cell information of each first cell and the second cell information of each second cell. Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the similarity between the cells can be measured from each dimension, so that more accurate similarity is obtained.
Alternatively, in calculating the similarity, the similarity may be calculated by an algorithm such as cosine similarity, minkowski distance, or the like. As can be expressed as:
similarity=cal_sim(S.P,S.H,S.U,S.Q)
s is a cell set, wherein the cell set comprises a first cell and a second cell, P is cell characteristic information, H is handover data, U is the average number of users in a cell RRC, and Q is cell flow.
It should be noted that, the execution sequence of the step 201 and the step 203 is not limited in the present application, the step 201 may be executed first, the step 203 may be executed first, the step 201 and the step 203 may be executed simultaneously, and the present application is not limited in this respect, specifically, the present application may be adjusted according to the actual application scenario.
204. And determining the traffic suppression point of each second cell according to the first association relation and the similarity.
The change condition of the number of users and the usage flow rate of the second cells in the past period of time can be collected, so as to be convenient for distinguishing second flow rate information, and then the second association relation of each second cell, namely the relation between the number of users and the usage flow rate in the second cells, is fitted based on the second flow rate information, the first association relation and the similarity.
Specifically, it may be understood that, based on the similarity between the first cell and the second cell, the first association relationship is adjusted, and the second association relationship is obtained by combining the generated number of users and the usage flow rate of the second cell, so that the second association relationship is matched with the actual number of users and the usage flow rate of the second cell, and the relationship between the number of users and the usage flow rate in the second cell can be reflected.
After the second association relationship is obtained, the traffic suppression point of the second cell, that is, the point of the second association relationship where the traffic speed increases and decreases with the increase of the number of users, can be predicted based on the second association relationship.
It will be appreciated that as the number of users increases, the flow rate increases, which would otherwise be the case, due to the bandwidth limitations of the device leading to a decrease in flow rate increase, there may be situations where the user's flow demand cannot be met.
As can be expressed as: calculating the traffic suppression point of the traffic non-suppressed cell according to the known traffic suppression point of the traffic suppressed cell:
A new =f(similarity,A)
i.e. the similarity and A are used as the input of the association relation algorithm, and the flow suppression point is output.
Therefore, the traffic suppression point of the second cell can be identified based on the similarity between cells and the trend of the change of the cell in which the traffic suppression point has been generated, so that the traffic suppression point to be generated by the cell can be predicted,
205. and determining the capacity expansion scheme of at least one second cell according to the traffic suppression point.
After the traffic suppression point is determined, a capacity expansion scheme of the second cell, that is, a scheme for expanding the bandwidth of the second cell, can be determined based on the information of the traffic suppression point.
The specific capacity expansion scheme may include information such as a time point of expansion of the second cell, expansion priority, an amount of expanded frequency band, and an increased number of access devices. For example, when a second cell exists today, the latest capacity expansion time point, capacity expansion frequency band, or increased access device of the second cell can be determined. When a plurality of second cells exist, the priorities of the plurality of second cells can be ordered, so that the capacity expansion schemes of the plurality of second cells, such as the latest capacity expansion time point, the capacity expansion priority, the capacity expansion mode and the like of each cell, are determined.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the association relationship between the number of users of the first cell generating the traffic suppression point and the generated traffic and the similarity between cells can be utilized to fit the association relationship between the number of users of the second cell not generating the traffic suppression point and the traffic, the traffic suppression point of the second cell is predicted based on the association relationship, and the expansion scheme is determined based on the traffic suppression point, so that the traffic suppression point of the second cell can be predicted more accurately in advance, expansion is performed before network traffic suppression occurs, the expansion period is covered, and loss caused by traffic suppression is avoided.
In one possible implementation manner, a duration of time from the current reaching of the traffic suppression point by the second cell may be determined, and then a capacity expansion scheme of the second cell, such as information of a latest capacity expansion time, a size of a capacity expansion band, an increased number of devices, a capacity expansion priority, and the like, is determined according to the duration of time. Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the capacity expansion scheme can be determined according to the time length of the second cell reaching the traffic suppression point, and the traffic suppression point of the second cell can be dealt with in advance.
In particular, when there are a plurality of second cells, a value score for each second cell may be determined according to a length of time for which each second cell reaches a traffic suppression point, and the value score may be used to represent a capacity expansion priority of each second cell. If the number of users is generally larger, the duration is shorter, or the number of users is increased, the value score of the cells is generally higher, i.e. the priority can be set to be higher, i.e. the capacity of the second cells can be expanded according to the value score. Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, when a plurality of second cells exist, the plurality of cells can be evaluated according to the time period that the plurality of second cells reach the traffic suppression point respectively, and the value score of each second cell can be obtained and used for representing the capacity expansion priority, so that the capacity expansion scheme of the plurality of second cells can be determined according to the value score of each second cell, and the capacity expansion can be respectively carried out.
Optionally, when determining the duration of time for each second cell to reach the traffic suppression point, the duration of time for each second cell to reach the strength suppression point may be calculated according to a preset time sequence prediction model, so that the duration of time for each second cell to reach the traffic suppression point from the current time may be predicted very accurately.
The foregoing describes the flow of the method provided by the present application, and for convenience of understanding, the flow of the method provided by the present application is further described below in conjunction with a more specific application scenario.
Referring to fig. 3, a flow chart of another capacity expansion scheme determining method provided by the application is shown.
First, the first cell is a cell in which a traffic suppression point has been generated, the second cell is a cell in which a traffic suppression point has not been generated, the number of the first cells may be one or more, and the number of the second cells may be one or more.
The first traffic information and the first cell information may be collected from the related data of the first cell and the second cell information may be collected from the related data of the second cell.
First flow information: the number of users and traffic usage in the first cell, which may include a history period, may be collected in units of a certain unit time, such as the number of users and the resulting traffic per hour in 30 days of the history.
First cell information: the information related to the first cell, such as the number of devices in the first cell, the type of the device board, the network system corresponding to the devices, the geographical location of the cell, and the like, may be included.
The second cell information is similar to the first cell, and may include information such as the number of devices in the second cell, the type of the device board, the network system corresponding to the devices, and the geographic location of the cell.
After the data is acquired, the following steps can be performed based on the acquired data:
301. a relationship between the number of users in the first cell and the traffic is fitted.
After the first traffic information is obtained, a relationship between the number of users in the first cell and the generated traffic, i.e. a first association relationship, may be fitted based on the first traffic information.
For example, the number of users in the first cell and the traffic data may be collected in units of hours, and then a relationship between the number of users and the traffic at the level of hours may be fitted, so as to determine a traffic suppression point of the first cell. In general, the trend of no traffic suppression point can be as shown in fig. 4, that is, the number of users and the traffic are in a linear relationship. And when there is a traffic depression point, i.e. the traffic acceleration decreases as the number of users increases, as shown in figure 5,
For example, cell C can be acquired, and RRC average user number U of cell C t Cell downlink flow Q t . In order to reduce the influence of abnormal data on the result, the data is firstly filtered to remove abnormal values. Using U with outliers removed t Q and t and performing curve fitting to obtain a flow suppression point A of the suppression cell. For example, an unsupervised clustering method such as Density-based clustering method (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise, DBSCAN) with noise, hierarchical clustering and the like can be adopted, and outliers after clustering are removed; and the data is thinned, so that the influence of uneven data distribution on the fitting result is reduced.
The relationship between the number of users and the traffic can then be fitted. If a piecewise fit can be performed, this is expressed as:
f 1 (x)=k 1 *x+y 0 -k 1 *x 0
where x represents the number of users, f represents the flow generated, and f is a coefficient, typically a preset value, or can be adjusted according to an actual algorithm.
After the relationship between the number of users and the traffic in the first cells is obtained by fitting, the traffic suppression point of each first cell can be identified according to the relationship, for example, several association relationships may be shown in fig. 6, fig. 7 and fig. 8, where a point where the traffic increases and begins to decrease as the number of users increases is taken as the traffic suppression point, which indicates that subsequent network resources from the traffic suppression point may not meet the traffic demand of the users, resulting in network congestion, a part of users may not access the network or use the network resources, and so on.
302. And calculating the similarity between the first cell and the second cell.
One or more first cells and one or more second cells may be considered as a set of cells, with similarities between cells within the set of cells.
Specifically, for the cell set S, the cell similarity is calculated by acquiring data including cell characteristic information P, handover data H, average number of users U of the cell RRC, and cell traffic Q.
For example, cosine similarity may be used to calculate the similarity, expressed as:
c 1 ,c 2 ,c 3 ,……,c n calculating the inter-cell similarity W, W of each cell in the cell set S as the feature vector formed by the feature information of n cells in the cell set S ij Is the similarity of cells i, j.
