2. Cell: a cell, also called a cell, refers to an area covered by one of base stations or a part of a base station (sector antenna) in a cellular mobile communication system, in which a mobile station can reliably communicate with the base station through a wireless channel.

3. Tracking area (TRACKING AREA, TA): TA is an important concept in LTE systems for location management of UEs.

The tracking area comprises a plurality of cells, each belonging to one tracking area. Multiple tracking areas may form a tracking area List (TA List) and be assigned to one UE. As the UE moves within the TA list (list), TA updates do not need to be performed to reduce frequent interactions with the network. However, when the UE enters a new TA area that is not in its registered TA List, TA update needs to be performed, and the UE is reassigned a set of TAs.

4. Public land mobile network (public land mobile network, PLMN): a PLMN is an infrastructure in a mobile communication network for providing mobile communication services, and comprises a series of base stations, a transmission network and a core network, which are important components in the mobile communication system.

The first cell may refer to a cell to which the terminal device accesses when an event of abnormal communication between the terminal device and the network device occurs. Tracking area code TAC may refer to the code of the tracking area, which is used to represent the tracking area. The tracking area may refer to a tracking area where the terminal device is located when an event of abnormal communication between the terminal device and the network device occurs. The public land mobile network identity PLMN may refer to a PLMN when an event of abnormal communication between the terminal equipment and the network equipment occurs. The PLMN of the embodiment of the application can be used for representing the operators of the cells accessed by the terminal equipment when the communication between the terminal equipment and the network equipment is abnormal. The geographical location may represent the location of the terminal device when an event of communication abnormality between the terminal device and the network device occurs. The time may indicate when an event of communication abnormality between the terminal device and the network device occurs.

It should be understood that the first cell is not specific to a particular cell, but is a cell to which the terminal device accesses when an event of abnormal communication between the terminal device and the network device occurs. That is, the first cell may be one or more.

In one possible implementation manner, the manner of determining whether the event of communication abnormality occurs between the terminal device and the network device may include: a second request is sent to the network device using the first cell, the second request being for requesting registration or for requesting establishment of a service. If the response from the network device to the second request is not received within the first duration, the first cell may be considered to be abnormal, that is, a communication abnormal event between the terminal device and the network device occurs, and at this time, the target information may be acquired.

In another possible implementation, if a response from the network device to the second request is not received within the first time period, a third request is sent to the network device using the second cell, the third request being for requesting registration or for requesting establishment of a service. If a response from the network device to the third request is received within the second duration, it is indicated that the communication abnormal event is not a communication abnormality caused by the reason of the terminal device itself, but a communication abnormality caused by the abnormality of the first cell, and the target information can be acquired at this time. In this way, the accuracy of judging whether the communication abnormality is caused by the cell accessed by the terminal device can be improved.

Optionally, if it is determined that the communication is abnormal due to the abnormality of the first cell, disabling the third duration of the first cell, and within the disabled duration, the terminal device does not access the first cell any more.

It should be noted that the third duration may be a fixed duration, or may be a third duration dynamically set according to actual situations, which is not limited herein.

For example, when the third duration is dynamically set, it may be determined according to the number or frequency of communication anomalies of the first cell. For example, the higher the number or frequency of first cell communication anomalies, the longer the third time period, i.e., the third time period is positively correlated with the number or frequency of first cell communication anomalies.

In one possible implementation, it may also be that the number of abnormal communications of the first cell exceeds a frequency threshold, or that the frequency exceeds a frequency threshold, before disabling the first period. Thus, the situation of misforbidden cells caused by occasional communication anomalies due to network jitter can be reduced.

S220, the terminal equipment sends target information to the target network equipment.

In the embodiment of the application, the target information is sent to the target network equipment, so that the network equipment can obtain the information of the terminal equipment during the target event.

The network device corresponding to the event of the communication abnormality may be the same or different from the target network device transmitted by the terminal device. For example, it may be an event that communication abnormality occurs between the terminal device and the network device 1, and the target information is transmitted to the network device 1. It is also possible that an event of communication abnormality occurs between the terminal device and the network device 1, and the target information is transmitted to the network device 2. Alternatively, the target network device may be a network device where the terminal device sends the target information, and the cell to which the terminal device is connected. Further, the event of communication anomaly may be one or more network device related events. For example, the terminal device may transmit an event of communication abnormality between the terminal device and the network device 1, or may transmit an event of communication abnormality between the terminal device and the network device 1, and between the terminal device and the network device 3, without limitation.

According to the technical scheme, the information of the communication abnormality between the terminal equipment and the network equipment is obtained through the terminal equipment, and the information of the communication abnormality is sent to the target network equipment, so that the information of the communication abnormality between the terminal equipment and the network equipment can be collected through information interaction between the terminal equipment and the network equipment, and the collection efficiency of the information of the communication abnormality between the terminal equipment and the network equipment can be improved.

Alternatively, the network device may perform network optimization processing using the target information. The network optimization process of embodiments of the present application may include, but is not limited to, one or more of network coverage optimization, user perceived boost, handover optimization, capacity planning, or troubleshooting optimization. The network coverage optimization can determine which areas are insufficient or excessive in network coverage by analyzing the collected signal intensity data, so that the parameters of the base station are adjusted, the network layout is optimized, and the network coverage quality is improved. The user perception is improved by analyzing the data reported by the user equipment, so that the perception condition of the user in the network use process can be known, including signal quality, data transmission speed and the like. This helps to find problems in the network and make adjustments in time, improving user satisfaction. The switching optimization can optimize the switching strategy by analyzing the switching data of the user equipment among different base stations, reduce the switching failure and the call drop situations and improve the network stability. Capacity planning can know the traffic service condition of the network by collecting traffic data generated by user equipment, and data support is provided for future network capacity planning. The troubleshooting can be that when the network fails, the data reported by the user equipment can be analyzed to quickly locate the problem, and the troubleshooting and the repairing can be timely performed. In general, after receiving the target information, the network device may perform network optimization and user perception promotion by using the target information to provide better network service.

and disabling the fourth duration of the first cell.

In the embodiment of the application, if the first cell is the cell managed by the target network device, the target network device directly disables the first cell. If the first cell is not the cell managed by the target network device, the target network device notifies the network device managing the first cell to disable the first cell.

Alternatively, the fourth time period may be fixed or dynamically adjusted.

One possible way to dynamically adjust the fourth time period may be: the fourth duration is set through the number of times or the frequency of the occurrence of the target event in the cell, for example, the larger the number of times is, the higher the frequency is, the larger the fourth duration is, that is, the number of times or the frequency of the occurrence of the target event in the cell is positively related to the fourth duration, so that the longer the cell forbidden time of the higher the number of times or the frequency of the communication abnormality is, the situation that the terminal equipment is accessed into the cell of the higher the number of times or the frequency of the communication abnormality is can be reduced, and the success rate between the terminal equipment and the network equipment can be improved. In addition, the target network device can acquire the target information of one or more terminal devices, so that the target network device can comprehensively evaluate the target information of the plurality of terminal devices, and the accuracy of network optimization processing can be improved.

Wherein the frequency level may be the higher the level, the higher the frequency of occurrence, in other words, the lower the level, the lower the frequency of occurrence. Or the higher the frequency level, the lower the frequency of occurrence, in other words, the lower the frequency level, the higher the frequency of occurrence.

Alternatively, the information of the target event may be periodically counted. For example, the second period is one cycle. The second period of time may be one hour or one day, and may be set as needed, without limitation.

It should be understood that the terminal device may transmit the target number, the target frequency, or the target level when transmitting the target information, so that the network device may learn about occurrence of the target event. Optionally, the network device may perform network optimization on the target event with the highest occurrence frequency or perform network optimization on the cell with the highest occurrence frequency of the target event.

It should be noted that, in one possible implementation manner, the target number of times, the target frequency, or the target level may be sent by default, that is, each time the target information is sent to the target network device, the target number of times, the target frequency, or the target level is sent by default, so that each time the target information is sent, the target network device can obtain the occurrence of the target event, which can improve the richness of the information sent by the terminal device. In another possible implementation manner, the information of the target event may be that the target information carries the target number of times, the target frequency or the target level in the case of receiving the indication, so that the target number of times, the target frequency or the target level may be transmitted when needed, and when the information of the target event is not needed to be transmitted, the data volume of the target information is reduced, so that the channel resource required to be occupied by transmitting the target information can be reduced.

In one possible implementation, the terminal device may send information of each event in all the target events to the target network device, so that the target network device can fully understand the target events that have occurred. For example, if the target event includes event 1 and event 2, the terminal device records information of the terminal device when event 1 occurs and information of the terminal device when event 2 occurs, and the terminal device may send information of the terminal device when event 1 occurs and information of the terminal device when event 2 occurs.

In one possible implementation, the target event is an event that occurs more frequently than a first threshold, or an event that occurs more frequently than a second threshold. Or the first cell is a cell with the occurrence frequency of the target event being greater than a third threshold value, or the first cell is a cell with the occurrence frequency of the target event being greater than a fourth threshold value.

In the embodiment of the application, the network equipment can select the target event with more occurrence times, select the target event with higher target frequency for transmission, or select the cell with more occurrence times/frequency of the target event for transmission, so that the transmitted target information may include part of the events in all abnormal communication events, or include part of the cells in all abnormal communication cells, thereby saving channel resources required by the target information transmitted by the terminal equipment.

For example, if the target event includes event 1 and event 2, the terminal device records information of the terminal device when the event 1 occurs and information of the terminal device when the event 2 occurs, and if the occurrence number of the event 1 is 10 times, the occurrence number of the event 2 is 1, the occurrence number of the event 1 is greater than the second threshold, and the occurrence number of the event 2 is less than the second threshold, the terminal device may send information of the terminal device when the event 1 occurs at this time, but not send information of the terminal device when the event 2 occurs. As another example, the first cell includes the first cell 1 and the first cell 2, and assuming that the total number of times the target event occurs in the first cell 1 is 10 and the total number of times the target event occurs in the first cell 2 is 1, the reported information includes the identifier of the first cell 1, but does not include the identifier of the first cell 2.

It should be understood that the number of times the target event occurs in each cell may be counted alone or may be counted cumulatively, and is not limited herein. One example of a separate count may be that the number of times event 1 occurs for the first cell 1 is 8 and the number of times event 2 occurs for the first cell 2 is 2.

In one possible implementation, the terminal device may actively transmit the target information, for example, if the terminal device satisfies the transmission condition. For example, the transmission condition may include, but is not limited to, reaching a transmission time, detecting a target event, where the number of occurrences of the target event is greater than a frequency threshold, where the frequency of occurrences of the target event is greater than a frequency threshold, etc., where the number of occurrences of the target event is greater than the frequency threshold, where the frequency of occurrences of the target event is greater than the frequency threshold, etc., where the transmission condition is not limited, so that the terminal device may timely transmit the target information when the target event occurs.

In another possible implementation, the terminal device may also be information sent based on a request of the target network device.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flow chart of another communication method according to an embodiment of the application. The method of the embodiment of the application uses the condition that the terminal equipment responds to the request of the network equipment to send the target information. The communication method as shown in fig. 3 may include:

s310, the target network equipment sends a first request to the terminal equipment, wherein the first request is used for requesting to send target information.

S320, the terminal equipment responds to the first request and sends target information to the target network equipment.

In the embodiment of the present application, how to send the relevant content of the target information to the target network device may refer to the description of the above embodiment, which is not repeated herein.

In one possible implementation, the first request includes information indicating a first time period. That is, the target network device may instruct the terminal device to transmit the target information in the first period, and the target information transmitted by the terminal device is the information in the first period.

For example, the terminal device records information of the terminal device when the target event occurs in 9:00, information of the terminal device when the target event occurs in 10:00, and information of the terminal device when the target event occurs in 11:00, and the first request may indicate 9:00-10:00, and then the target information sent by the terminal device is the target information in 9:00 and 10:00.

In one possible implementation, the first request includes an indication of information of the sending target event, and the target information sent by the terminal device includes the information of the target event only when the first request received by the terminal device includes the indication of the information of the sending target event.

It should be understood that, if the first request includes information indicating the first period of time and an indication of sending information of the target event, the target information reported by the terminal device may not include time, so that the network device may determine, based on the first period of time and the information of the target event, the occurrence frequency or the occurrence frequency of the target event in the first period of time, and may also reduce channel resources required for sending the target information between the terminal device and the network device.

In addition, if the target information includes time, the first request issued by the network device may not include information indicating the first period of time and an indication of information for sending the target event, and the network device may also determine the occurrence frequency or the occurrence frequency of the target event based on time.

Referring to tables 1 and 2, tables 1 and 2 are schematic representations of target information provided in the embodiments of the present application.

TABLE 1

As shown in table 1, the target information includes an indication of a target event, such as "event 1", "event 2", etc., and an indication of "1", "2", etc., and then the target information at this time may indicate that the information recorded when the event 1 occurs at the terminal device is cell identity 1, TAC1, PLMN1, geographic location 1, and time 1, and cell identity 2, TAC2, PLMN2, geographic location 1, and time 2, respectively. The information recorded when the event 2 occurs in the terminal device is cell identity 3, TAC3, PLMN3, geographic location 3 and time 3, and cell identity 4, TAC4, PLMN4, geographic location 3 and time 4, respectively.

As an example of the target information shown in table 1, specific events associated with the information of the terminal device can be known more finely, so that more accurate event information is provided to the network device.

TABLE 2

As shown in table 2, it can be known that the information recorded when the target event occurs is the cell identifier 1, the TAC1, the PLMN1, the geographic location 1 and the time 1, and the cell identifier 2, the TAC2, the PLMN2, the geographic location 1 and the time 2, and the cell identifier 3, the TAC3, the PLMN3, the geographic location 3 and the time 3, and the cell identifier 4, the TAC4, the PLMN4, the geographic location 3 and the time 4, respectively, and the table 2 can reduce the indication of the target event compared with the table 1, so that the channel resources required for transmitting the target information can be reduced.

In the target information shown in table 2, when there are a plurality of target events, a field may be reserved for each target event, and the target event corresponding to the information of the terminal device may be known according to the field in which the information of the terminal device is located.

In one possible implementation, the first request may include information indicative of a target event. For example, assuming that the target event includes events such as RRC connection establishment being denied, RRC connection establishment not being responded, RRC connection establishment being released in advance, and data radio bearer resource DRB not being established, the first request may request the terminal device to report information of the terminal device when at least one target event occurs, for example, request the terminal device to send information of the terminal device when RRC connection establishment being denied and RRC connection establishment not being responded, and for example, request information of the terminal device when RRC connection establishment being denied.

Illustratively, assuming that the target event includes event 1 and event 2 in conjunction with table 1, if the first request includes information indicating event 1 and does not include information indicating event 2, the target information transmitted by the terminal device may be as shown in table 3.

TABLE 3 Table 3

In the embodiment of the application, the network equipment can request the terminal equipment to send the information of one or more target events and the information of each one or more target events, so that the terminal equipment can be selectively enabled to send the information of one or more target events and the information of each one or more target events according to actual conditions, thereby improving the flexibility of collecting the information of abnormal communication.

Optionally, the information request may further include flag bit information of the first request. The flag bit information of the first request may be used to indicate whether the target information needs to be reported.

If the flag bit information of the first request is the second flag bit, the target information is not sent. The first flag bit may be, for example, "true", the second flag bit may be, for example, "false", or the first flag bit may be, for example, "1", and the second flag bit may be, for example, "0". Alternatively, the first flag bit may be "0", for example, and the second flag bit may be "1", for example, without limitation.

Optionally, the information request may further include a fourth request.
