Background

If PUSCH open loop Power control is used at the access network device side with relatively high reference signal received Power (REFERENCE SIGNAL RECEIVING Power, abbreviated as RSRP), the uplink transmission Power of the terminal device can be increased by increasing P0, so as to further increase the uplink rate of the terminal device. Therefore, the uplink rate of PUSCH open-loop power control is obviously better than PUSCH closed-loop power control, but in order to reduce uplink interference to adjacent cells (hereinafter referred to as neighbor cells), only PUSCH power control of access network equipment can be configured as closed-loop power control, however, configuring closed-loop power control can reduce the uplink rate of terminal equipment in a serving cell corresponding to the access network equipment.

Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments, but not all embodiments of the present application. 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.

That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the term "and/or" describes the association relationship of the association objects, which means that three relationships may exist, for example, a and/or B may be represented: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. The character "/" generally indicates that the context-dependent object is an "or" relationship.

Currently, PUSCH power control includes open loop power control and closed loop power control, under PUSCH open loop power control, a terminal device may adjust uplink transmission power according to PUSCH target power or expected power P0 configured by an access network device (such as a base station); under PUSCH closed loop power control, the access network device issues TPC, and the terminal device adjusts uplink transmit power within a range specified by the protocol according to TPC.

If open loop power control is used at the access network equipment side with relatively higher RSRP, the uplink transmitting power of the terminal equipment can be improved by improving P0, so that the uplink rate of the terminal equipment is improved. Therefore, under the condition of relatively low interference, the uplink rate of the PUSCH open-loop power control is obviously superior to the PUSCH closed-loop power control, but in order to reduce the uplink interference to the adjacent cell (hereinafter referred to as the adjacent cell), in a commercial scenario, only the PUSCH power control of the access network device can be configured to be the closed-loop power control, however, the configuration of the closed-loop power control can reduce the uplink rate of the terminal device in the service cell corresponding to the access network device.

In a commercial scenario, the configuration requires that a small Bandwidth Part (BWP) function be turned on, and after the BWP function is turned on, PUSCH resources are separated by a physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH for short), for example, when a maximum Resource Block (RB) is 273, the maximum RBs of uplink transmission resources that can be used by the terminal device are only 209, and in this case, due to the lack of uplink transmission resources, the uplink rate of the terminal device is affected.

Under a commercial scenario, a large number of PUCCH resources are configured to ensure the access of terminal equipment with higher uplink rate, wherein the PUCCH comprises a long format and a short format, and the long format occupies a large number of RBs. However, in practical application, there are not too many terminal devices in the serving cell, and the Ack/Nack message of the terminal device with PUSCH resources can use PUSCH resources, but for RB resources occupied by PUCCH, the terminal device with PUSCH resources cannot occupy, resulting in a small number of RB resources occupied by PUSCH, and further resulting in a lower uplink rate of the terminal device.

In summary, the prior art has at least the following problems:

First, the service cell starts PUSCH closed loop power control to be commercial configuration, but after PUSCH closed loop power control is started, the uplink rate of the terminal equipment is still lower even if the terminal equipment is in the service cell with relatively higher RSRP.

Aiming at the problem, the uplink rate of the terminal equipment can be greatly improved after the closed-loop power control of the PUSCH is closed, and key performance indicators (Key Performance Indicator, KPI for short) such as average uplink rate of terminal perception and customer attention are improved. Therefore, on the basis of meeting the requirement that the PUSCH closed-loop power control is required to be opened by commercial configuration, the PUSCH open-loop power control can be used for terminal equipment which individually meets the conditions, and further the uplink throughput is increased, so that the purpose of improving the KPI (key performance indicator) focused by a customer is achieved.

Second, the small BWP function is configured commercially, but after the small BWP function is turned on, because PUSCH resources are blocked by PUCCH, for example, when the maximum RB is 273, the maximum RBs of uplink transmission resources are only 209, and the uplink rate of the terminal device is affected due to the lack of uplink transmission resources.

In the application, aiming at the problem, the function of the PUSCH to preempt the PUCCH can be started aiming at a single terminal device.

Thirdly, the Ack/Nack message of the terminal equipment with PUSCH resources can use PUSCH resources, but for the RB resources occupied by PUCCH, the terminal equipment with PUSCH resources cannot occupy, resulting in a small number of RB resources occupied by PUSCH, and further resulting in a lower uplink rate of the terminal equipment.

In the application, aiming at the problem, the quantity of physical resource blocks (Physical Resource Block, PRB for short) occupied by the PUCCH and the small BWP of a long format can be reasonably utilized, and the quantity of the uplink PRB of the terminal equipment is increased, so that the aim of improving the uplink speed is fulfilled.

The method, apparatus, access network device and storage medium for improving uplink rate of the present embodiment are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Before explaining the embodiments of the present application in detail, for the sake of easy understanding, technical words related to the present application are first described:

P0 can be set according to experience of network planning and current wireless communication environment, and not only can the strength of the signal correctly demodulated by the access network equipment be met, but also the mutual interference between terminal equipment needs to be considered, so that the transmitting power is reduced as much as possible.

The first rate threshold, which may be a preset rate threshold or a rate threshold, may also be referred to as an "entry uplink rate threshold".

The second rate threshold, which may be a preset rate threshold or a rate threshold, may also be referred to as an "exit uplink rate threshold". Wherein the second rate threshold is less than the first rate threshold.

The first time threshold may be a preset time threshold or a time threshold, and the first time threshold may also be referred to as "entering an uplink rate duration".

The second duration threshold may be a preset duration threshold or a duration threshold, and the second duration threshold may also be referred to as "exit uplink rate duration". The size relationship between the first time length threshold and the second time length threshold is not limited, for example, the first time length threshold may be greater than the second time length threshold, or the first time length threshold may be less than the second time length threshold, or the first time length threshold may be equal to the second time length threshold, which is not limited by the present application.

The set duration may be a preset duration threshold or a duration threshold, where the set duration is far greater than the first duration threshold and the second duration threshold. For example, the first time threshold and the second time threshold may be 3 seconds, and the set time period may be 15 minutes.

The interference threshold is set, which is a preset interference threshold or interference threshold, and the set interference threshold may also be called a "neighbor interference level (INTERFERENCE OF LEVEL, referred to as IOT) threshold", "neighbor background threshold" or "uplink rate optimization function neighbor background threshold".

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for improving uplink rate according to an embodiment of the present application.

The method for improving the uplink rate can be applied to access network equipment.

Wherein the access network device is exemplified for the base station. The base station may comprise a plurality of cells serving the terminal device. A base station may also be called an access point or may be a device in an access network that communicates over the air-interface, through one or more sectors, with wireless terminal devices, or other names, depending on the particular application. The network device may be configured to exchange received air frames with internet protocol (Internet Protocol, IP) packets as a router between the wireless terminal device and the rest of the access network, which may include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network. The network device may also coordinate attribute management for the air interface. For example, the network device according to the embodiment of the present application may be a network device (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in a global system for mobile communications (Global System for Mobile communications, GSM) or code division multiple access (Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA), a network device (NodeB) in a wideband code division multiple access (Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA), an evolved network device (evolutional Node B, eNB or e-NodeB) in a long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) system, a 5G base station (gNB) in a 5G network architecture (next generation system), a home evolved base station (Home evolved Node B, heNB), relay node (relay node), home base station (femto), pico base station (pico), etc., which are not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In some network structures, the base station may include a Centralized Unit (CU) node and a Distributed Unit (DU) node, which may also be geographically separated.

The terminal device may be a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connectivity, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, among others. The names of the terminal devices may also be different in different systems, for example in a 5G system, the terminal devices may be referred to as User Equipment (UE). The wireless terminal device may communicate with one or more Core Networks (CNs) via a radio access Network (Radio Access Network, RAN for short), and may be mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones (or "cellular" phones) and computers with mobile terminal devices, for example, portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted mobile devices that exchange voice and/or data with the radio access Network. Such as Personal communication services (Personal Communication Service, PCS) phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (Session Initiated Protocol, SIP) phones, wireless local loop (Wireless Local Loop, WLL) stations, personal Digital Assistants (PDA) DIGITAL ASSISTANT, and the like. The wireless terminal device may also be referred to as a system, subscriber unit (subscriber unit), subscriber station (subscriber station), mobile station (mobile station), remote station (remote station), access point (access point), remote terminal device (remote terminal), access terminal device (ACCESS TERMINAL), user terminal device (user terminal), user agent (user agent), user equipment (user device), and embodiments of the present application are not limited.

As shown in fig. 1, the method for improving the uplink rate may include the steps of:

Step 101, obtaining first interference information of adjacent cells of the serving cell under the condition that a first uplink rate of a first terminal device in the serving cell is greater than a first rate threshold.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first terminal device may be any terminal device in a serving cell corresponding to the access network device, and the uplink rate of the first terminal device is greater than the first rate threshold. The number of the first terminal devices may be one or may be plural, which is not limited by the present application.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the uplink rate of the first terminal device in the serving cell of the access network device (referred to as the first uplink rate in the present application) is greater than the first rate threshold, it indicates that the first terminal device has more service data to be transmitted, and in order to improve the perception of the first terminal device, the uplink rate of the first terminal device may be improved.

It should be noted that, under the condition that the uplink rate of the first terminal device is higher (for example, the uplink transmission power of the first terminal device is higher), the uplink rate of the first terminal device (for example, the uplink transmission power) is further increased, uplink interference is caused to the neighboring cell of the serving cell, and if the interference of the neighboring cell is higher, the uplink transmission power of the first terminal device is increased, the neighboring cell noise is further increased.

Therefore, in the present application, before the uplink rate of the first terminal device is increased, the interference information (referred to as the first interference information, such as the average IOT, in the present application) of the neighboring cell may be obtained.

As an example, the access network device may communicate with an access network device of a neighboring cell over an Xn interface to obtain the first interference information of the neighboring cell.

Step 102, scheduling uplink transmission resources for the first terminal device and/or blank TPC for the first terminal device under the condition that the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, where the blank TPC is used for the first terminal device to increase uplink transmission power according to P0.

In the embodiment of the application, whether the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold can be judged, and the condition that the first interference information is larger than or equal to the set interference threshold indicates that the interference of the adjacent cell is relatively higher.

As an example, in the case that the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, the access network device may schedule uplink transmission resources for the first terminal device, so that the first terminal device may send uplink transmission to the access network device through the scheduled uplink transmission resources, so as to improve the uplink rate of the first terminal device.

As another example, in the case where the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, the access network device may blank the TPC for the first terminal device, so that the access network device may use PUSCH open loop power control for the first terminal device, and the first terminal device may increase uplink transmit power according to P0.

As yet another example, in the case where the first interference information is less than the set interference threshold, the access network device may schedule uplink transmission resources for the first terminal device at the same time, and blank TPC for the first terminal device.

The method for improving the uplink rate acquires first interference information of adjacent cells of a serving cell under the condition that the first uplink rate of first terminal equipment in the serving cell is larger than a first rate threshold; and under the condition that the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, scheduling uplink transmission resources for the first terminal equipment and/or carrying out idle TPC on the first terminal equipment, wherein the idle TPC is used for the first terminal equipment to increase uplink transmission power according to P0. Therefore, under the condition that the terminal equipment has more service data to be transmitted, the interference information of the adjacent cells is acquired, and the uplink rate of the terminal equipment is improved only under the condition that the interference information of the adjacent cells is relatively low, so that the terminal perception can be improved, and the uplink interference to the adjacent cells can be reduced.

In order to clearly explain how to increase the uplink rate of the first terminal device in the above embodiment of the present application, the present application also proposes a method for increasing the uplink rate.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of another method for improving uplink rate according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 2, the method for improving the uplink rate may include the steps of:

Step 201, acquiring first interference information of adjacent cells of a serving cell when a first uplink rate of a first terminal device in the serving cell is greater than a first rate threshold.

The explanation of step 201 may be referred to the related description in any embodiment of the present application, and will not be repeated here.

Step 202, if the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, the setting function is turned off for the first terminal device, and/or the TPC is set aside for the first terminal device.

And when the setting function is in a closed state, the first terminal equipment is allowed to schedule the uplink transmission resources of all bandwidths.

The idle TPC is used for the first terminal equipment to increase the uplink transmitting power according to P0.

In a possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, in a case where the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, the access network device may close the setting function (such as a small BWP function) for the first terminal device, where the setting function allows the first terminal device to schedule uplink transmission resources with a partial bandwidth when in an on state, and allows the first terminal device to schedule uplink transmission resources with all bandwidths (i.e. full bandwidth) when the setting function is in an off state.

In another possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, in the case that the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, the access network device may blank the TPC for the first terminal device, so that the access network device may use PUSCH open loop power control for the first terminal device, and the first terminal device may increase uplink transmit power according to P0.

In another possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, in a case where the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, the access network device may also simultaneously close the setting function for the first terminal device and blank the TPC for the first terminal device.

In the method for improving the uplink rate in the embodiment of the present application, the access network device closes the setting function (such as the small BWP function) for the first terminal device, and in the state that the setting function is closed, the first terminal device can schedule uplink transmission resources with all bandwidths (i.e., full bandwidths), i.e., the first terminal device can occupy more PRBs, so that the uplink rate of the first terminal device can be improved.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of another method for improving uplink rate according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 3, the method for improving the uplink rate may include the steps of:

step 301, acquiring first interference information of a neighboring cell of a serving cell when a first uplink rate of a first terminal device in the serving cell is greater than a first rate threshold.

The explanation of step 301 may be referred to the related description in any embodiment of the present application, and will not be repeated here.

Step 302, in the case that the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, the TPC is nulled for the first terminal device, and/or, according to the formats of the plurality of PUCCHs, a target PUCCH is determined from the plurality of PUCCHs, and in the case that the target PUCCH is in an idle state, the first indication information is sent to the first terminal device.

The format of the target PUCCH is long, and the first indication information is used to indicate the uplink transmission resource allowed to be scheduled by the first terminal device, where the uplink transmission resource allowed to be scheduled includes a resource occupied by the target PUCCH.

The idle TPC is used for the first terminal device to increase uplink transmit power according to the desired power P0.

In a possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, in a case where the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, the access network device may determine, according to the formats of the multiple PUCCHs, the target PUCCH from the multiple PUCCHs, where the format of the target PUCCH is a long format, and determine whether the target PUCCH is in an idle state, in a case where the target PUCCH is in a non-idle state, the access network device may not need to perform any operation, and in a case where the target PUCCH is in an idle state, the access network device may send first indication information to the first terminal device, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the first terminal device allows the scheduled uplink transmission resource, and the first terminal device allows the scheduled uplink transmission resource to include a resource occupied by the target PUCCH.

As an example, the access network device may send DCI0-1 (Downlink Control Information format0-1, downlink control information-format 0-1 for scheduling an uplink dedicated search space) to the first terminal device, where the DCI0-1 is used to indicate RB resources occupied by the target PUCCH in the idle state.

In still another possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, in a case where the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, the access network device may simultaneously blank the TPC for the first terminal device, and send the first indication information to the first terminal device.

The method for improving the uplink rate can realize the function of starting the PUSCH for occupying the PUCCH for the single terminal equipment, namely, reasonably utilizing the RB resources occupied by the long-format PUCCH, distributing the RB resources occupied by the long-format PUCCH in an idle state to the terminal equipment with the PUSCH resources, and improving the uplink rate of the terminal equipment.

In order to clearly illustrate how the first terminal device is determined in any embodiment of the present application, the present application also proposes a method for improving the uplink rate.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart of another method for improving uplink rate according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 4, the method for improving the uplink rate may include the steps of:

step 401, monitoring an uplink rate of at least one terminal device in a serving cell.

In the embodiment of the application, the access network equipment can monitor the uplink rate of at least one terminal equipment in the service cell.

As an example, the access network device may monitor the uplink rate of each terminal device in the serving cell through a MAC (Medium Access Control, medium access control layer or medium access control layer).

Step 402, determining candidate terminal equipment from at least one terminal equipment; wherein the second uplink rate of the candidate terminal device is greater than the first rate threshold.

In the embodiment of the present application, the access network device may determine a candidate terminal device from at least one terminal device, where an uplink rate of the candidate terminal device (denoted as a second uplink rate in the present application) is greater than a first rate threshold. The number of candidate terminal devices may be one or may be plural, which is not limited in the present application.

Step 403, determining a first duration in which the second uplink rate is greater than the first rate threshold.

In the embodiment of the present application, the duration that the second uplink rate of the candidate terminal device is greater than the first rate threshold may be counted, which is denoted as the first duration in the present application.

And step 404, in the case that the first duration is greater than or equal to the first duration threshold, the candidate terminal device is taken as the first terminal device.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the first duration time period of the second uplink rate of the candidate terminal device is greater than or equal to the first rate threshold, the candidate terminal device may be used as the first terminal device. And in the case that the first duration of the second uplink rate of the candidate terminal device is less than or equal to the first rate threshold is less than the first time threshold, the candidate terminal device may not need to be used as the first terminal device.

Step 405, first interference information of a neighboring cell of the serving cell is obtained.

Step 406, in case the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, scheduling uplink transmission resources for the first terminal device and/or blank TPC for the first terminal device.

The explanation of steps 405 and 406 may be referred to the relevant description in any embodiment of the present application, and will not be repeated here.

In summary, it can be understood that if the uplink rate of a certain terminal device at a certain moment is higher, and the uplink rate of the terminal device at other moments is lower, it cannot be stated that the terminal device has more service data to be transmitted, so that the uplink rate of the terminal device can be not required to be adjusted, that is, in the present application, the terminal device with the uplink rate greater than the duration of the first rate threshold is used as the first terminal device that needs to optimize the uplink rate, and on the basis of guaranteeing terminal perception, the situation of frequently adjusting the uplink rate of each terminal device can be avoided.

In order to clearly illustrate any embodiment of the present application, the present application also proposes a method for improving the uplink rate.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart of another method for improving uplink rate according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 5, the method for improving the uplink rate may further include the steps of:

step 501, obtaining first interference information of a neighboring cell of a serving cell in a case that a first uplink rate of a first terminal device in the serving cell is greater than a first rate threshold.

Step 502, scheduling uplink transmission resources for the first terminal device and/or blank TPC for the first terminal device if the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold.

The explanation of steps 501 to 502 may be referred to the relevant description in any embodiment of the present application, and will not be repeated here.

In step 503, the uplink rate of the first terminal device is monitored again, so as to obtain a third uplink rate of the first terminal device.

In the embodiment of the present application, the access network device may monitor the uplink rate of the first terminal device again to obtain the re-monitored uplink rate corresponding to the first terminal device, which is denoted as the third uplink rate in the present application.

In step 504, in the case that the third uplink rate is less than the second rate threshold, a second duration in which the third uplink rate is less than the second rate threshold is determined.

Wherein the second rate threshold is less than the first rate threshold.

In the embodiment of the present application, it may be determined whether the third uplink rate of the first terminal device is smaller than the second rate threshold, where the access network device may not need to perform any operation if the third uplink rate is greater than or equal to the second rate threshold, and may count a duration that the third uplink rate is smaller than the second rate threshold if the third uplink rate is smaller than the second rate threshold, where the duration is referred to as a second duration in the present application.

In step 505, the setting processing policy is executed for the first terminal device in the case that the second duration is greater than or equal to the second duration threshold.

In the embodiment of the application, whether the second duration is greater than or equal to the second duration threshold can be judged, any operation is not required in the case that the second duration is less than the second duration threshold, and a set processing strategy can be executed for the first terminal device in the case that the second duration is greater than or equal to the second duration threshold, wherein the set processing strategy is used for exiting the uplink rate optimization function.

As one possible implementation, setting the processing policy may include at least one of:

1. And canceling the idle TPC for the first terminal equipment, namely, the access network equipment can use the PUSCH closed-loop power control for the first terminal equipment.

2. The setting function (e.g., a small BWP function) is turned on for the first terminal device, and when the setting function is in an on state, the first terminal device is only allowed to schedule uplink transmission resources of a part of the bandwidth.

3. And sending second indication information to the first terminal equipment, wherein the second indication information is used for indicating that the first terminal equipment allows the scheduled PUSCH resource, namely not allowing the first terminal equipment to start the function of the PUSCH to preempt the PUCCH.

According to the method for improving the uplink rate, the terminal equipment with the uplink rate smaller than the second rate threshold and relatively longer duration is used as the terminal equipment needing to exit the uplink rate optimization function, so that the situation of frequently adjusting the uplink rate of each terminal equipment can be avoided.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart of another method for improving uplink rate according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 6, the method for improving the uplink rate may further include the steps of:

Step 601, acquiring first interference information of a neighboring cell of a serving cell when a first uplink rate of a first terminal device in the serving cell is greater than a first rate threshold.

In step 602, in case the first interference information is smaller than the set interference threshold, uplink transmission resources are scheduled for the first terminal device and/or TPC is set aside for the first terminal device.

The explanation of steps 601 to 602 may be referred to the related description in any embodiment of the present application, and will not be repeated here.

Step 603, re-acquiring the second interference information of the neighboring cell.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the uplink rate of the first terminal device is adjusted, the access network device may reacquire the second interference information of the neighboring cell.

As an example, the access network device may communicate with the access network device of the neighboring cell via the Xn interface to obtain the second interference information of the neighboring cell.

Step 604, executing a set processing policy on the first terminal device in case the second interference information is greater than or equal to the set interference threshold.

In the embodiment of the application, whether the second interference information of the adjacent cell is larger than or equal to the set interference threshold can be judged, any operation is not needed under the condition that the second interference information of the adjacent cell is smaller than the set interference threshold, and the set processing strategy can be executed for the first terminal equipment under the condition that the second interference information of the adjacent cell is larger than or equal to the set interference threshold, wherein the set processing strategy is used for exiting the uplink rate optimization function.

In any embodiment of the present application, when the first interference information is greater than or equal to the set interference threshold, the uplink rate of each terminal device in the serving cell may be suspended, and when the duration of suspension of monitoring reaches the set duration, the uplink rate of each terminal device in the serving cell may be continuously monitored, so that when it is monitored that the second terminal device exists in the serving cell, the interference information (referred to as third interference information in the present application) of the neighboring cell may be obtained again, and whether the third interference information is less than the set interference threshold is determined, if yes, uplink transmission resources may be scheduled for the second terminal device, and/or TPC may be set for the second terminal device, so that the access network device may use PUSCH open loop power control for the second terminal device, and the second terminal device may increase uplink transmission power according to P0. The implementation principle is similar to that of step 102, and will not be described here.

Wherein the uplink rate of the second terminal device (referred to as the fourth uplink rate in the present application) is greater than the first rate threshold.

According to the method for improving the uplink rate, under the condition that the interference information of the adjacent cells is relatively high, the first terminal equipment is subjected to the set processing strategy, so that the uplink interference to the adjacent cells can be reduced.

In any one of the embodiments of the present application, the implementation principle of any one of the embodiments may be as shown in fig. 7, specifically, the uplink rate of the UE may be improved by the following steps:

First, an "upstream rate optimization switch" function switch may be turned on.

And then, monitoring the uplink rates of all the UEs in the service cell through the MAC of the access network equipment, judging whether target UEs with the uplink rates exceeding a first rate threshold (namely an 'entering uplink rate threshold') and the duration exceeding a first time threshold (namely an 'entering uplink rate duration'), if not, continuing to monitor the uplink rates of all the UEs through a data link layer (L2), and if so, acquiring the neighbor IOT through an Xn interface.

Entering an uplink rate optimization function: judging whether the average IOT of the neighbor cell is larger than a set interference threshold (namely an 'uplink rate optimization function neighbor cell bottom threshold'), if yes, the L2 exits the monitoring of the uplink rate, and starts the monitoring of the uplink rate again at the granularity of the next 15 minutes, if not, the uplink rate optimization function is started for the target UE, the MAC marks the target UE, and the mark is transmitted to a physical layer (PHYSICAL LAYER, PL for short).

PL can empty TPC for the identified target UE, the access network equipment starts to use PUSCH open loop power control, and the UE adjusts uplink transmitting power according to P0; and/or the small BWP function may be turned off for the target UE to ensure that the target UE may schedule resources of full bandwidth; and/or, the access network device may determine whether the long Format PUCCH is in an idle state, if so, the access network device schedules the DCI0-1 to indicate RB resources occupied by the idle PUCCH long Format (Format 1,Format 3,Format 4) to the target UE, and if not, does not allocate PUCCH resources to the target UE, for example, may normally allocate PUSCH resources to the target UE.

Exiting the uplink rate optimization function: the MAC continues to monitor the uplink rate of the identified target UE, if the uplink rate of the target UE is lower than a second rate threshold (namely 'exiting uplink rate threshold'), and the duration meets a second duration threshold (namely 'exiting uplink rate duration'), the MAC deletes the target UE identification, transmits the target UE identification to the PL, stops the uplink rate optimization function, and L2 continues to monitor the uplink rates of all the UEs in the serving cell. Or judging whether the average IOT of the neighbor cell is larger than a set interference threshold (namely an 'uplink rate optimization function neighbor cell base noise threshold'), if so, deleting the target UE identifier by the MAC, transmitting the target UE identifier to the PL, and continuously monitoring the uplink rates of all the UEs in the serving cell by the L2.

Wherein the explanation of the respective thresholds can be as shown in table 1.

TABLE 1

In summary, the method for improving uplink rate provided by the application can realize that on the basis of meeting the requirement that commercial configuration needs to open the PUSCH closed-loop power control, the PUSCH open-loop power control is used for terminal equipment which individually meets the conditions, so that uplink throughput is increased, and the aim of improving the KPI concerned by the customer is achieved. The method can achieve that the IOT of the neighbor cell is obtained through the Xn interface, when the IOT of the neighbor cell is too large, L2 does not monitor the uplink rate of each terminal device in the serving cell any more until the granularity of 15 minutes is the next, and monitors the uplink rate of each terminal device in the serving cell continuously, so that interference to the neighbor cell can be avoided. The method can reasonably utilize the number of PRBs occupied by the PUCCH and the small BWP functions in a long format, and increase the number of uplink PRBs of marked terminal equipment, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the uplink rate.

Compared with the prior art, the application has at least the following advantages:

Firstly, open-loop power control of PUSCH is used for individual terminal equipment meeting the conditions, so that the uplink rate of the terminal equipment in a service cell with relatively higher RSRP can be greatly improved, the terminal perception is improved, and the KPI (such as average uplink rate) focused by a client is improved;

Secondly, the small BWP function is closed for the individual terminal equipment meeting the conditions, so that the terminal equipment with higher uplink rate can occupy more PRBs (such as 64 RBs), and the purpose of improving the uplink rate is achieved;

Thirdly, because the long-format PUCCH occupies more RBs in the idle state, the terminal equipment cannot be fully allocated with bandwidth when transmitting service data with large data quantity, thereby affecting the uplink rate, starting the uplink rate optimization function, and allocating the RBs occupied by the idle-state PUCCH to the terminal equipment with PUSCH resources.

Fourth, before the uplink transmitting power of the terminal device is improved, considering the IOT of the neighboring cell, if the IOT of the neighboring cell is higher than the set interference threshold, the uplink rate optimization function is not started, so that the uplink interference to the neighboring cell can be reduced.
