Currently, the network coverage of the communication network is generally evaluated by using an on-channel measurement report (measurement report, MR) data evaluation method. I.e. the network coverage of an area is assessed by MR data measured by terminals residing in the same frequency band within that area.

Detailed Description

The network coverage evaluation method and device provided by the embodiment of the application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The term "and/or" is herein merely an association relationship describing an associated object, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, may represent: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone.

The terms "first" and "second" and the like in the description and in the drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects or for distinguishing between different processes of the same object and not for describing a particular sequential order of objects.

Furthermore, references to the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof in the description of the present application are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those listed but may optionally include other steps or elements not listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "such as" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete fashion.

However, with the continuous development of mobile communication technology, the same area is generally deployed with both types of communication networks, such as a 4G communication network and a 5G communication network, and the terminal may switch between different types of communication networks. In such a complex communication network scenario, it is difficult for such an on-channel MR data evaluation approach to accurately evaluate the network coverage of a 5G communication network.

In addition, network coverage assessment of conventional 5G communication networks can be affected by interoperability, which can lead to "survivor bias" problems (survivors, i.e., terminals residing in the 5G base station). If the network coverage of the 5G communication network is only evaluated by MR data uploaded by survivors, the network coverage evaluation result may be poor, the network coverage deviation from the real 5G communication network is large, and the network coverage condition of the 5G communication network cannot be evaluated accurately.

In view of the above technical drawbacks, after acquiring a plurality of first MR data and a plurality of second MR data in a region to be evaluated, the network coverage evaluation method provided by the present application may determine a first ratio and a first average coverage level corresponding to a 5G frequency band based on the plurality of first MR data, and determine a second ratio and a second average coverage level corresponding to the 5G frequency band based on the plurality of second MR data, so as to further multiply the first average coverage level by a first product obtained by multiplying the first ratio, and add the second product obtained by multiplying the second average coverage level by the second ratio, thereby obtaining a network coverage evaluation result corresponding to the 5G communication network in the region to be evaluated.

Exemplary, as shown in fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a network coverage assessment system 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is provided. The network coverage assessment system 100 may include a network coverage assessment device 101 and a data acquisition device 102. A communication connection may be established between the network coverage assessment means 101 and the data acquisition means 102.

In practice, the network coverage assessment device 101 may be communicatively coupled to one or more data acquisition devices 102.

For ease of understanding, the present application will be described with reference to a communication link between a network coverage assessment device 101 and a data acquisition device 102.

Alternatively, the network coverage assessment device 101 and the data acquisition device 102 in fig. 1 may be functional modules integrated in the same device, or may be two devices that are disposed independently of each other. The present application is not limited in this regard.

It is easy to understand that when the network coverage assessment means 101 and the data acquisition means 102 are functional modules integrated in the same device, the communication means between the network coverage assessment means 101 and the data acquisition means 102 is communication between the internal modules of the device. In this case, the communication flow between the two is the same as that in the case where the "network coverage evaluating apparatus 101 and the data collecting apparatus 102 are provided independently of each other".

For ease of understanding, the present application will mainly be described by taking the example in which the network coverage assessment means 101 and the data acquisition means 102 are provided independently of each other.

The network coverage evaluation device 101 in fig. 1 may receive the plurality of first MR data and the plurality of second MR data sent by the data acquisition device 102, determine a first ratio and a first average coverage level corresponding to the 5G frequency band based on the plurality of first MR data, and determine a second ratio and a second average coverage level corresponding to the 5G frequency band based on the plurality of second MR data, so as to further obtain, by calculation, a network coverage evaluation result corresponding to the 5G communication network in the area to be evaluated.

Alternatively, the network coverage assessment device 101 and the data acquisition device 102 in fig. 1 may be a terminal, a server, or other types of electronic devices. The configuration shown in fig. 1 is only one example of the configuration of the network coverage evaluation means 101 and the data acquisition means 102, and is not limited to this configuration.

In case the network coverage assessment means 101 and the data acquisition means 102 are terminals, the terminals may be devices providing voice and/or data connectivity to the user, handheld devices with wireless connection functionality, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. The terminal may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (radio access network, RAN). The terminal may be a mobile terminal, such as a computer with a mobile terminal, or a portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-built-in mobile device that exchanges voice and/or data with a radio access network, e.g. a cell phone, tablet, notebook, netbook, personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA). The present application does not impose any limitation on this.

In the case where the network coverage evaluation device 101 and the data acquisition device 102 are servers, the servers may be a single server or may be a server cluster composed of a plurality of servers. In some implementations, the server cluster may also be a distributed cluster. The present application does not impose any limitation on this.

Fig. 2 is a schematic hardware structure diagram of a network coverage assessment device according to an embodiment of the present application. The network coverage assessment device comprises a processor 21, a memory 22, a communication interface 23, a bus 24. The processor 21, the memory 22 and the communication interface 23 may be connected by a bus 24.

The processor 21 is a control center of the network coverage assessment apparatus, and may be one processor or a collective term of a plurality of processing elements. For example, the processor 21 may be a general-purpose central processing unit (central processing unit, CPU), or may be another general-purpose processor. Wherein the general purpose processor may be a microprocessor or any conventional processor or the like.

As one example, processor 21 may include one or more CPUs, such as CPU 0 and CPU 1 shown in fig. 2.

Memory 22 may be, but is not limited to, a read-only memory (ROM) or other type of static storage device that can store static information and instructions, a random access memory (random access memory, RAM) or other type of dynamic storage device that can store information and instructions, or an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage device, 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.

In a possible implementation, the memory 22 may exist separately from the processor 21, and the memory 22 may be connected to the processor 21 by a bus 24 for storing instructions or program code. The processor 21, when calling and executing instructions or program code stored in the memory 22, is capable of implementing the network coverage assessment method provided in the embodiments described below.

In another possible implementation, the memory 22 may also be integrated with the processor 21.

The communication interface 23 is used for connecting the network coverage assessment device with other devices through a communication network, such as ethernet, radio access network, wireless local area network (wireless local area networks, WLAN), etc. The communication interface 23 may include a receiving unit for receiving data, and a transmitting unit for transmitting data.

Bus 24 may be an industry standard architecture (industry standard architecture, ISA) bus, an external device interconnect (peripheral component interconnect, PCI) bus, or an extended industry standard architecture (extended industry standard architecture, EISA) bus, among others. The bus may be classified as an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, etc. For ease of illustration, only one thick line is shown in fig. 2, but not only one bus or one type of bus.

It should be noted that the structure shown in fig. 2 does not constitute a limitation of the network coverage assessment means, and that the network coverage assessment means may comprise more or less components than shown in fig. 2, or some components may be combined, or a different arrangement of components.

Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a network coverage assessment method according to an embodiment of the present application. The network coverage evaluation method can be applied to the network coverage evaluation device 101 of the network coverage evaluation system 100 shown in fig. 1. The network coverage assessment method comprises the following steps: S301-S303.

S301, a network coverage evaluation device acquires a plurality of first MR data and a plurality of second MR data in an area to be evaluated.

The first MR data may be used to represent MR data of a 5G frequency band measured by a terminal residing in the 5G communication network. The second MR data may be used to represent MR data of the 5G frequency band measured by a terminal residing in the 4G communication network.

In one possible way, in connection with fig. 1, the data acquisition device may be configured with a memory module. The storage module can store the first MR data and the second MR data reported by the terminal or configured by the staff.

Specifically, the network coverage evaluation device may transmit an acquisition instruction to acquire the first MR data and the second MR data to the data acquisition device. In response to the acquisition instruction, the data acquisition device may send the first MR data and the second MR data stored by the storage module to the network coverage evaluation device. The network coverage assessment device may receive the first MR data and the second MR data transmitted by the data acquisition device.

In one possible way, MR data is one way for the terminal to report measurement data. Compared with other modes, the MR data can more accurately reflect network coverage conditions, can automatically report and collect, and is more convenient and quick. In addition, MR data can be processed and then displayed in multiple dimensions, so that network coverage conditions can be reflected more intuitively.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, the network coverage assessment means may send a measurement start instruction to the communication base station. In response to the turn-on instruction, the communication base station may turn on the periodic measurement function. The network coverage assessment means may send measurement instructions to terminals residing in the communication base station. And responding to the test instruction, the terminal can test the communication base station and report the MR data corresponding to the communication base station. The data acquisition device can acquire MR data reported by the terminal.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, the network coverage assessment device may send an on instruction to the 5G base station to turn on the periodically measured 5G band function. In response to the turn-on command, the 5G base station may turn on the periodically measured 5G band function. The network coverage assessment means may send a measurement instruction to the terminal residing in the 5G base station to measure the 5G frequency band. And responding to the test instruction, the terminal residing in the 5G base station can test the 5G frequency band and report the MR data of the 5G frequency band. The data acquisition device can acquire the MR data of the 5G frequency band reported by the terminal residing in the 5G base station, namely the first MR data.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, the network coverage assessment apparatus may send an on instruction to the 4G base station to turn on the periodically measured 5G frequency band function. In response to the turn-on command, the 4G base station may turn on the periodically measured 5G band function. The network coverage assessment means may send a measurement instruction to the terminal residing in the 4G base station to measure the 5G frequency band. And responding to the test instruction, the 5G frequency band can be tested and the MR data of the 5G frequency band can be reported, wherein the MR data reside in the 4G base station terminal. The data acquisition device can acquire the MR data of the 5G frequency band reported by the terminal residing in the 4G base station, namely the second MR data.

In one possible manner, in order to ensure accuracy of network coverage assessment of the area to be assessed, a first preset duration needs to be set, and the network coverage assessment device may acquire the first MR data and the second MR data within the first preset duration.

Optionally, the first preset duration may be set according to actual requirements. For example, the first preset time period may be 7 days or 15 days.

S302, the network coverage assessment device determines a first ratio and a first average coverage level corresponding to the 5G frequency band based on the first MR data, and determines a second ratio and a second average coverage level corresponding to the 5G frequency band based on the second MR data.

The first ratio is used for representing the ratio between the duration of the terminal residing in the 5G communication network and the total duration. The second ratio is used to represent the ratio between the duration the terminal resides in the 4G communication network and the total duration. The total duration is used to represent the sum between the duration of the terminal residing in the 5G communication network and the duration of the terminal residing in the 4G communication network.

In one possible manner, the network coverage assessment means may acquire a period of time during which the terminal resides in the 5G communication network from the plurality of first MR data, and may also acquire a period of time during which the terminal resides in the 4G communication network from the plurality of second MR data. Thus, the network coverage assessment means may determine the sum between the time period during which the terminal resides in the 5G communication network and the time period during which the terminal resides in the 4G communication network, and the first ratio and the second ratio.

In one possible manner, the network coverage assessment device may determine a coverage level corresponding to a first frequency band in the plurality of first MR data and a coverage level corresponding to a second frequency band in the plurality of first MR data. The network coverage evaluation means may further determine the number of first MR data including the coverage level of the first frequency band among the plurality of first MR data, and the number of first MR data including the coverage level of the second frequency band among the plurality of first MR data. Thus, the network coverage assessment means may calculate a first average coverage level of the 5G frequency band measured by a terminal residing in the 5G communication network. The specific implementation manner of the network coverage assessment device in determining the first average coverage level corresponding to the 5G frequency band based on the plurality of first MR data may refer to the following S401-S403, which are not described herein again.

It should be understood that, for the implementation manner of the network coverage assessment device to determine the second average coverage level corresponding to the 5G frequency band based on the plurality of second MR data, reference may be made to the implementation manner of the network coverage assessment device to determine the first average coverage level corresponding to the 5G frequency band based on the plurality of first MR data, which is not described herein.

And S303, the network coverage evaluation device adds a first product obtained by multiplying the first average coverage level by the first ratio and a second product obtained by multiplying the second average coverage level by the second ratio to obtain a network coverage evaluation result corresponding to the 5G communication network in the area to be evaluated.

In a possible manner, in order to reflect the real coverage result of the 5G communication network in the area to be evaluated, the network coverage evaluation device may perform weighted combination on the network coverage corresponding to the 5G communication network in the area to be evaluated according to the ratio between the duration of the terminal residing in the 5G communication network and the total duration and the ratio between the duration of the terminal residing in the 4G communication network and the total duration, so as to obtain the network coverage evaluation result corresponding to the 5G communication network in the area to be evaluated.

In one possible manner, the network coverage assessment device may perform rasterization processing on the first area to obtain a plurality of areas to be assessed. The network coverage evaluation device may perform rasterization processing on the first area to obtain a specific implementation manner of the multiple areas to be evaluated, which may refer to S601 below and will not be described herein.

Alternatively, the first area may be set according to actual requirements. For example, the first region may be city a or city B. This is not particularly limited in this application.

In a possible manner, the network coverage evaluation device may obtain a network coverage evaluation result corresponding to the 5G communication network in each of the multiple areas to be evaluated, so as to obtain a network coverage evaluation result corresponding to the 5G communication network in the first area.

In one possible manner, the first average coverage level may be used as a network coverage evaluation result of a 5G frequency band measured by a terminal residing in the 5G communication network in the area to be evaluated. The second average coverage level may be used as a network coverage evaluation result of the 5G frequency band measured by a terminal residing in the 4G communication network in the area to be evaluated.

As shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 is an exemplary network coverage evaluation result of a 5G band measured by a terminal residing in the 5G communication network in the first area. Wherein, the network coverage rate of the 5G frequency band measured by the terminal residing in the 5G communication network is 98.15 percent.

As shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is an evaluation result of network coverage of a 5G band measured by a terminal residing in the 4G communication network in the first area. The network coverage rate of the 5G frequency band measured by the terminal residing in the 5G communication network is 84.67%.

As shown in fig. 9, fig. 9 is an exemplary network coverage evaluation result corresponding to the 5G communication network in the first area. Wherein, the network coverage rate corresponding to the 5G communication network in the first area is 94.28%.

Optionally, the definition of the network coverage may be set according to the actual requirements. For example, the network coverage may be an average coverage level greater than or equal to-110 decibel milliwatts (decibel milliwatt, dBm), or an average coverage level greater than or equal to-105 dBm. This is not particularly limited in this application.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 10, a schematic diagram is provided for comparing a coverage area of a 5G base station with a coverage area of a 4G base station. It can be seen that at the edge of the 5G base station coverage area, the 5G terminal may fall back to the 4G base station coverage area, i.e. reside in the 4G base station, due to the 5G coverage level difference. When the 5G signal is good, the 5G terminal may reside in the 5G base station. So that terminals residing in the 5G base station can only report MR data with a better coverage level.

In a possible manner, in combination with fig. 7, 8, 9 and 10, it can be seen that the network coverage corresponding to the 5G communication network in the first area deviates from the network coverage of the 5G frequency band measured by the terminal residing in the 5G communication network. The network coverage rate of the 5G frequency band measured by the terminal residing in the 5G communication network is good, and the real coverage rate cannot be reflected.

Based on the above technical solution, in the network coverage evaluation method provided by the present application, after a plurality of first MR data and a plurality of second MR data in a region to be evaluated are acquired, a first ratio and a first average coverage level corresponding to a 5G frequency band may be determined based on the plurality of first MR data, and a second ratio and a second average coverage level corresponding to the 5G frequency band may be determined based on the plurality of second MR data, so as to further multiply the first average coverage level by a first product obtained by multiplying the first ratio, and add the second product obtained by multiplying the second average coverage level by the second ratio, thereby obtaining a network coverage evaluation result corresponding to the 5G communication network in the region to be evaluated.

Specifically, the network coverage evaluation means may determine whether the coverage level of the first frequency band and the coverage level of the second frequency band are included in each of the first MR data, thereby determining the first number and the second number.

It should be understood that the flowchart of the network coverage assessment method shown in fig. 11 does not limit the execution order of S401 and S402. That is, S401 and S402 may be performed simultaneously, or S401 may be performed first and S402 may be performed second, or S402 may be performed first and S401 may be performed second.

S403, the network coverage evaluation device divides a first total coverage level obtained by adding the first coverage level and the second coverage level and a first total number obtained by adding the first number and the second number to obtain a first average coverage level corresponding to the 5G frequency band.

The network coverage assessment means may add the first number and the second number to obtain a first total number. The network coverage assessment means may divide the first total coverage level by the first total number to obtain a first average coverage level corresponding to the 5G frequency band.

Therefore, the application can obtain the first average coverage level corresponding to the 5G frequency band through a plurality of first MR data. The coverage quality of the communication network may be evaluated in a subsequent step. Therefore, the coverage quality of the communication network can be accurately evaluated.

In a possible manner, as shown in fig. 14, the network coverage assessment apparatus may send an opening instruction for opening the periodic measurement target 4G band to the other 4G band base station. And responding to the starting instruction, other 4G frequency band base stations can start the function of the periodic measurement target 4G frequency band.

In response to the measurement instruction, the terminal may measure MR data of the target 4G band. The data acquisition device can acquire MR data of the target 4G frequency band reported by the terminal, namely fourth MR data.

In one possible manner, in order to ensure accuracy of network coverage assessment of the area to be assessed, a second preset duration needs to be set, and the network coverage assessment device may acquire the first MR data and the second MR data within the second preset duration.

Optionally, the second preset duration may be set according to actual requirements. For example, the second preset time period may be 7 days or 15 days. This is not particularly limited in this application.

Optionally, the first frequency band may be set according to actual requirements. For example, the target 4G frequency band may be a 900MHs frequency band in the 4G network, and may also be a 1800MHs frequency band. This is not particularly limited in this application.

S502, the network coverage evaluation device determines a third number of third coverage levels corresponding to the MR data of the target 4G frequency band based on the third MR data, and determines a fourth number of fourth coverage levels corresponding to the MR data of the target 4G frequency band based on the third MR data.

Wherein the third number is used to represent the number of third MR data. The fourth number is used to represent the number of fourth MR data. The third coverage level is used to represent a sum of coverage levels in the plurality of third MR data. The fourth coverage level is used to represent a sum of coverage levels in the plurality of fourth MR data.

In one possible way, the network coverage assessment means may determine the third amount of MR data as the third amount. The network coverage assessment means may determine a coverage level in each of the plurality of third MR data and determine a sum of the coverage levels in the plurality of third MR data resulting in a third coverage level. The network coverage assessment means may determine the fourth number of MR data as the fourth number. The network coverage assessment means may determine a coverage level in each of the plurality of fourth MR data and determine a sum of the coverage levels in the plurality of fourth MR data resulting in a fourth coverage level.

And S503, the network coverage evaluation device divides a second total coverage level obtained by adding the third coverage level and the fourth coverage level by a second total amount obtained by adding the third quantity and the fourth quantity, so as to obtain a third average coverage level, and determines the third average coverage level as a network coverage evaluation result corresponding to the target 4G frequency band in the region to be evaluated.

The network coverage rate corresponding to the target 4G frequency band measured by other 4G frequency band base stations in the first area is 97.37%.

As shown in fig. 17, fig. 17 is an evaluation result of network coverage corresponding to the target 4G frequency band in the first area. Wherein, the network coverage rate corresponding to the target 4G frequency band in the first area is 95.52%.

S504, the network coverage evaluation device adds the third average coverage level and a preset value to obtain a fourth average coverage level, determines the fourth average coverage level as a network coverage prediction result after the target 4G frequency band frequency is reshuffled in the area to be evaluated, and multiplies the fourth average coverage level by the second total number to obtain a fourth total coverage level.

The fourth total coverage level is used for representing the total coverage level after the target 4G frequency band frequency is ploughed again in the region to be evaluated.

In one possible approach, the target 4G frequency band may be frequency re-tilled to a 5G frequency band. Under the condition that the antenna is consistent with the total transmitting power and the same base station is adopted, the coverage level of the target 4G frequency band is different from that of the target 4G frequency band after frequency re-cultivation.

In a possible manner, the 4G base station adopts a single antenna port, and the 5G base station adopts a 4 antenna port, so that the coverage level of the target 4G frequency band after heavy tillage can be theoretically raised by 6dBm, but the preset value can be set to be 3dBm in consideration of loss.

It should be understood that S504 only provides a setting manner of the preset value, and the preset value may be other values in consideration of practical situations. For example, the preset value may be 2.9dBm, and the preset value may also be 2.5dBm. This is not particularly limited in this application.

For example, as shown in fig. 19, fig. 19 is a network coverage prediction result after the target 4G frequency band frequency re-cultivation of a plurality of areas to be evaluated in the first area. The network coverage rate of the multiple regions to be evaluated after the frequency re-tillage of the target 4G frequency band in the first region is 96.98%.

In one possible way, the network coverage assessment means may test the coverage level of the target 4G band. The network coverage assessment means may send a test instruction to the terminal. In response to the test instruction, the terminal can lock the target 4G frequency band and test the actual coverage level of the target 4G frequency band of the test point location to obtain a test result. The network coverage assessment means may receive the test results.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 20, fig. 20 is a schematic diagram of target 4G band coverage level verification. The coverage level of the target 4G frequency band base station is that of the MR data measured by the target 4G frequency band base station. The target 4G band evaluates the coverage level, i.e. the third average coverage level.

It can be seen that the estimated coverage level of the target 4G frequency band has no obvious deviation from the actual coverage level of the target 4G frequency band, and the average coverage level is about 1.5 dBm. The coverage level of the target 4G frequency band evaluation has larger deviation from the coverage level of the target 4G frequency band base station, and the average deviation is about 22 dBm.

In one possible way, the network coverage assessment means may multiply the fourth average coverage level with the second total number to obtain a fourth total coverage level.

S505, the network coverage assessment device determines a third total number and a third total coverage level corresponding to the plurality of second MR data.

Wherein the third total coverage level is used to represent a sum of the coverage levels in the plurality of second MR data.

In one possible way, the network coverage assessment means may determine the number of second MR data and determine the third total number. The network coverage assessment means may determine a sum of the coverage levels in the plurality of second MR data.

In one possible way, the network coverage assessment means may add the first total coverage level, the third total coverage level and the fourth total coverage level to obtain a fifth total coverage level. The network coverage assessment means may add the first total number, the second total number and the third total number to obtain a fourth total number.

In one possible manner, the network coverage assessment device may divide the fifth total coverage level by the fourth total number to obtain a network coverage prediction result corresponding to the 5G communication network in the area to be assessed.

As shown in fig. 21, fig. 21 is a schematic diagram of a network coverage prediction result corresponding to a plurality of 5G communication networks in a first area. The network coverage rate corresponding to the 5G communication networks of the multiple areas to be evaluated in the first area is 95.53%.

In one possible manner, the network coverage assessment device may verify a network coverage prediction result corresponding to the area to be assessed 5G communication network. The network coverage assessment device can adjust the interoperation threshold of the base stations in the area to be assessed, so that more terminals reside in the 4G base stations as much as possible.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 22, fig. 22 is a schematic diagram for verifying a network coverage prediction result corresponding to a 5G communication network of an area to be evaluated. The network coverage assessment device can verify the network coverage prediction result corresponding to the 5G communication network of the area to be assessed through 10 test points. The network coverage assessment means may compare the network coverage prediction result with the actual pace result.

As shown in fig. 23, fig. 23 is a schematic diagram for verifying network coverage corresponding to a network coverage prediction result corresponding to a 5G communication network of an area to be evaluated.

It can be seen that the coverage level of the network coverage prediction result and the actual pace result have no obvious difference, and the average is about 1.5 dBm. The difference between the network coverage corresponding to the network coverage prediction result and the actual pace coverage is about 4%.
