Description

Automatic multi-rate monitoring method and device

The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications, and in particular, to an automatic multi-rate monitoring method and apparatus. Background technique

Automatic Multi Rate (AMR) refers to the automatically adjustable coding rate used when encoding speech. AMR solves the problem of rate allocation of channel coding in a more intelligent manner, which makes the configuration and utilization of radio resources more flexible and efficient, thereby ensuring the quality of service (QoS) of services.

AMR coding can be classified into two types: narrowband AMR coding (NB-AMR) and wideband AMR coding (WB-AMR). The ACS is the active rate set of the current speech algorithm AMR, and the current rate used must be in the ACS. AMR's ACS is generally set up to four types, NB-AMR supports 8 rates (including 4.75kbps, 5.15 kbps, 5.9 kbps, 6.7 kbps, 7.4 kbps, 7.95 kbps, 10.2 kbps, 12.2 kbps), and WB_AMR supports 9 rates ( Includes 6.6 kbps, 8.85 kbps, 12.65 kbps, 14.25 kbps, 15.85 kbps, 18.25 kbps, 19.85 kbps, 23.05 kbps, 23.85 kbps). In some 4 types, such as 4.75 kbps, 5.9 kbps, 7.4 kbps, 12.2 kbps, AMR will adjust the rate according to the radio quality condition, if the carrier-to-interference ratio (C/I, carrier-to-interference ratio) is compared. Ok, it will adjust to the high rate. If the C/I is low, it will adjust to the low rate.

AMR auto-tuning will bring many benefits to the communication system, such as: providing higher voice quality, increasing system capacity, and extending handset usage time.

A disadvantage of the prior art is that the prior art only uses AMR to solve the problem of rate allocation of channel coding, and the like, in addition, no technical solution can utilize AMR to solve other technical problems. Summary of the invention

The inventor noticed during the invention:

In the existing practical applications, except for using AMR to solve the rate allocation of channel coding, there is no other effect on AMR; meanwhile, since the AMR dynamic adjustment process is implicit, it is not for network operation status monitoring. Visible, so there is no remote monitoring of AMR adjustments.

However, the adjustment of the AMR is capable of providing data and facts for the network optimization and monitoring. Therefore, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention is to provide a remote real-time monitoring AMR rate adjustment scheme for tracking the AMR rate and The correspondence between C/I reflects the adjustment of AMR, which provides real-time decision-making basis for dynamic real-time monitoring of wireless network conditions, timely improvement of communication network environment, and improvement of network quality.

Further, the present invention also provides a specific scheme for monitoring the coding rate of the AMR technique.

Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the description process, the referenced base station control network element refers to a network element capable of controlling a base station network element, for example, a radio network controller (RNC, Radio Network Controller) or a base station controller (BSC, Base Station Controller). The base station network element is a base transceiver station (BTS, Base Transceiver Station, referred to as a base station) or a node NODEB. In the implementation, the AMR rate can be obtained from the BTS or the BSC side, and the C/I value can only be obtained from the base station network element. Therefore, the AMR rate and the C/I parameter selection can be obtained from the base station network element.

First, the task establishment for monitoring the coding rate of the AMR technique will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an implementation process of a monitoring establishment method in an AMR process according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the following steps may be included:

Step 101, in the Operation and Maintenance Center ( OMC, Operation & Maintenance Center ) Create a task to monitor the encoding rate of the AMR technology;

Among them, OMC is the operation and maintenance center of the telecommunication network, which is used to configure, maintain, and manage telecommunication network equipment and operations.

Step 102: Receive an encoding rate at the OMC, where the encoding rate is an encoding rate of the OMC after the corresponding network element monitors the encoding rate according to the task created by the OMC.

In the implementation, when the OMC receives the coding rate, the method further includes:

The C/I is received at the OMC, and the C/I is the corresponding C/I of the reported coding rate.

That is, in a specific implementation, the C/I corresponding to the monitored coding rate may also be collected. In the implementation, it may further include:

The reported coding rate is displayed in the OMC.

In the implementation, when the corresponding network element reports the C/I, the corresponding relationship between the reported coding rate and the corresponding C/I can also be displayed in the OMC.

The purpose of the OMC display is to visually display the AMR adjustment curve in real time through the visual interface, so that the relevant personnel can monitor the operation status of the communication wireless network in time by monitoring the AMR adjustment and the C/I correspondence, in order to further optimize the network, Improve the quality of communication networks, provide the basis for data and decision making.

In the specific implementation, when monitoring the AMR change, it can be implemented as follows:

A. Create a monitoring task in the OMC. The monitoring task can include information such as task number, monitoring object, and monitoring granularity.

Specifically, the task number can identify which monitoring task each monitoring rate belongs to; the essence of monitoring the encoding rate of the AMR technology is to monitor the encoding rate of a certain user, and thus can include the monitoring object. Identification mark; and monitoring granularity refers to the frequency of monitoring, which can be determined according to actual needs.

B. When the base station control network element detects the AMR change, it reports the task number, C/I, and other information to the OMC.

C. The OMC records and updates the task information corresponding to the reported message according to the received report information. The C/I information, and the visual dynamic graphic display the adjustment relationship between AMR and C/I. D. The OMC sends a command to delete the monitoring task to the base station control network element, and the base station controls the network element to receive the delete command, and no longer reports the monitoring data, and the OMC deletes the monitoring task and the monitoring window.

Specifically, when A is executed, it may include:

The command to create a monitoring task is sent to the base station to control the NE. The command includes the monitoring task number, the monitoring granularity, and the monitoring object identifier.

A2. The OMC receives the monitoring task creation response message with the task number returned by the base station control network element, and creates a monitoring task and a monitoring window according to whether the response message succeeds or not.

Specifically, when performing B, it may include:

Bl. The base station control network element receives the monitoring command sent by the OMC, and then transmits the packet to the base station network element.

B2. The base station control network element detects the corresponding monitoring object, and sends the AMR rate change data reported by the base station network element to the OMC.

In B1, the monitoring task number of the network element control station is controlled by the base station, and the base station controls the network element to perform the sorting and delivery of the monitoring command according to the station number.

In B2, the base station network element reports the AMR and the C/I to the base station control network element, and the base station controls the network element to match the monitoring task, and carries the corresponding task number and the monitoring data to the OMC.

Specifically, when executing C, it may include:

Cl and OMC traverse the monitoring task list, find the corresponding task, and save the reported monitoring data. C2. Dynamically display the relationship between AMR and C/I adjustment in real-time in the monitoring window. In the implementation, the OMC and the base station control network element can interact with each other through a binary command or MML (Man-Machine Language).

To understand how to implement the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the following example also provides a monitoring device for monitoring AMR changes, and FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a monitoring device for AMR changes according to the present invention. It mainly consists of four modules, as follows:

The display module 201 is configured to: after receiving the monitoring data sent by the base station control network element, Dynamic display of task AMR and C/I data should be monitored.

The management module 202 is configured to manage the monitoring tasks delivered by the OMC, and the matching management of AMR and C/I data changes.

The forwarding module 203 is configured to forward the monitoring task delivered by the OMC, or after the monitoring task is successfully established, when the monitoring data is reported by the base station network element, the corresponding monitoring task is obtained from the management module, and the monitoring data of the monitoring task is sent to the OMC.

The collecting module 204 is configured to collect corresponding monitoring data according to the monitoring task on the network element side of the base station, and send the data to the forwarding module.

In an implementation, the forwarding module may include: a link state determining unit and a data and task forwarding unit. The link state determining unit is configured to determine a link state between the OMC and the base station control network element, including a link state and a link establishment state, and a data and task forwarding unit, configured to forward the task or the changed AMR and C/I data. .

In implementation, the management module may include: a monitoring task verification unit and a monitoring data matching unit. The monitoring task verification unit is configured to verify the validity of the monitoring task; the monitoring data matching unit is configured to match the legal monitoring task with the monitoring data reported by the base station network element.

After the monitoring task for the AMR is established according to the above scheme, the specific AMR monitoring scheme will be described below.

Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the implementation process of the monitoring method in the AMR processing. As shown in the figure, the following steps may be included in the monitoring:

Step 301: Determine a user that needs to monitor the coding rate of the AMR technology. Step 302: Determine a time slot of the user that monitors the coding rate of the AMR technology. Step 303: On the time slot of the user The coding rate is monitored.

In the implementation, when determining the time slot for monitoring the AMR, the method may include:

Determine whether the AMR is a full rate AMR or a half rate AMR;

When the AMR is a full rate AMR, the coding rate of the entire slot using the AMR technology is monitored; When the AMR is a half rate AMR, the coding rate of the subslots using the AMR technique is monitored, and one slot includes two subslots.

Specifically, the time slot can be used as a monitoring object in the implementation.

When the time slot is used as the monitoring object, the key parameters may include the station, the cell, the carrier frequency, the time slot, and the sub-slot number. In the process of sending the monitoring task and reporting the data, it is basically the same as described above, but pay attention to the situation of site restart. When the site is powered on again, the forwarding module reports the corresponding site information to the management module. The management module re-delivers the monitoring task under the corresponding site.

For the sake of simplicity, it is also to reduce the communication pressure between the OMC and the BSC. In the implementation, the time slot task can be delivered by directly inputting the time slot parameters. Since the rate of the AMR is divided into the full rate and the half rate, the corresponding time slot can be divided into the entire time slot monitoring and the sub time slot monitoring.

1. Monitor subslots.

At this time, in addition to the previous slot object, the OMC asks the user to select one of the two sub-time slots (sub-slot 0 and sub-slot 1). Two sub-slots of the same time slot correspond to two different monitoring tasks.

2. Monitor time slots.

Two sub-slots need to be delivered as two tasks at the same time.

The sub-timeslot in the implementation is mainly associated with the AMR half-rate, and one time slot can be divided into two sub-time slots: sub-slot 0 and sub-slot 1, for sub-slot-based task monitoring needs to be subdivided into sub-slots Time slot 0 and sub-slot 1 For the task monitoring of the sub-slot, if the AMR half-rate is associated, the BTS reports the AMR half-rate adjustment data. If the AMR full rate is associated, the BTS reports the AMR full rate adjustment. data. For slot-based task monitoring, sub-slot 0 and sub-slot 1 need to be sent to the BSC as two monitoring tasks, so that the AMR full-rate and half-rate various conditions can be monitored, and then the user can be provided. Accurate monitoring of data.

In the implementation, when determining the time slot of the user that monitors the coding rate of the AMR technology, the method may include: Determining the user's International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI, International Mobile Subscriber Identity);

Bind IM S I to its occupied time slot;

The coding rate on the time slot bound to the IMSI is monitored.

In the implementation, in consideration of the handover problem, when the user performs the handover, the method further includes: determining, according to the IMSI of the user, the time slot occupied by the user after the handover;

The coding rate on the time slot occupied after the handover is monitored.

Specifically, IMSI can be used as a monitoring object.

IMSI is a unique international mobile subscriber identity assigned to each user by the mobile system. Since tracking an IMSI is, in the final analysis, tracking the change in the AMR rate of the time slot it occupies, it needs to be bound to the time slot in which it is located. The use of the AMR rate of the IMSI under one or more BSCs can be monitored according to general needs. In general, a user in the system may have the following states:

(1) is in an idle state. At this time, only a small amount of information interacts with the network element, and does not involve the AMR rate change;

(2) Active or passive call. At this time, the user occupies a certain time slot, and under certain conditions, the AMR rate changes;

(3) Switching within the BSC. At this time, the occupied time slot changes, so it is necessary to update the time slot to which it is bound, and then update its base station side task;

(4) Switch between BSCs. This is not only the case of (3), but also more complicated;

(5) Switch between MSCs.

(5) This situation is more complicated and can be ignored according to current needs. However, if necessary, it can still be monitored by IMSI and its occupied time slots, because no matter how to switch, an IMSI and its occupation can be known. The time slots are therefore also configurable. In this case, consider including (2), (3), (4). In particular, for (4) if the same time slot is monitored simultaneously under two BSCs, then switching between them is also supported. For (2), the service module at this time sends a notification to the management module when acquiring the time slot occupied by the IMSI, and the management module binds the IMSI and its occupied time slot to the base station through the forwarding module. The base station side reports the monitoring data according to the time slot therein.

For (3), the service module at this time will involve the source time slot and the destination time slot. For the source time slot, the BTS will automatically terminate the task, and the BSC service module will also report the time slot change of the IMSI to the monitoring module, and the latter needs to bind the IMSI to the destination time slot. Afterwards, the monitoring module sends the BTS the task on the destination time slot.

In an implementation, the method further includes: reporting the monitored coding rate to the OMC.

Specifically, for the reporting of AMR monitoring data, the monitoring task is finally established on a DSP (Digital Signal Processing), and the DSP according to the time slot and the monitoring time granularity, if there is no task or time slot change, then The monitoring data will be continuously reported according to the monitoring time granularity. After an intermediate process, it is finally presented to the user in a dynamic manner on the OMC client.

Corresponding to the originally delivered task, when the current rate type (full rate and half rate) does not change, the half rate is performed according to the corresponding subslot; the full rate may be only one subslot or two subscores. The gaps are respectively on, but the values of the sub-slots corresponding to the entire time slot can be uniformly filled into 0xFF.

When a monitored half-rate AMR channel is converted into a full-rate channel, the sub-timeslot of the BTS reporting object needs to be filled into OxFF to identify that the monitored subchannel has changed from a half-rate channel to a full-rate channel. At this time, the reported monitoring data is full rate.

At some point, when the full-rate AMR channel becomes a half-rate channel again, the corresponding BTS will have two sub-slot monitoring objects. If there is a monitoring task for the corresponding sub-timeslot, but there is no AMR service association, then this sub-slot The time slot does not report the monitoring data, and vice versa, reports the monitoring data.

After the report, the graphical display can be monitored on the client. The client can display two monitoring graphs for each monitoring data reported: one is the C/I curve with time, and the other is the rate change indicator (CMI). , Codec Mode Indication ) Rate Request (CMR, Codec Mode Request), Change Rate Command (CMC, Codec Mode Command) as a function of time. The vertical axes of the two graphs are: decibel (dB), kilobytes per second (kbit/s), and all rates for the ACS rate set need to be carved for the latter vertical axis. Since the monitoring granularity is second, it is difficult to display all the curve graphs in the graphics area. Therefore, the two graphs can be considered to move to the left with the monitoring time (IS, 3S, 5S) to display the dynamically changing part over a period of time. For IMSI monitoring, it is also necessary to set a title text box below the graphic to dynamically display the air interface resource stop corresponding to the current monitoring IMSI: station number, cell number, carrier frequency number, time slot number, and sub-slot number.

In the specific implementation, in general, there are multiple clients of the OMC used by the user. In the case of multiple clients, the core management module needs to handle multiple clients. For the sake of simplicity, it can be specified that there can only be one monitoring task for the same monitoring object in the system.

In the first embodiment, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a process for sending an AMR task according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the method may include:

Step 601: The OMC creates task information and delivers the task information.

In this step, the task information is created in the OMC and sent to the BSC.

Specifically, the OMC can send a command to create a monitoring task to the base station to control the network element, where the command includes the monitoring task number, the monitoring granularity, and the monitoring object identifier. At the same time, the OMC receives the monitoring task creation response message with the task number returned by the base station control network element, and creates a monitoring task and a monitoring window according to the success or failure of the response message.

Step 602: The management module checks whether the task information is legal. If it is legal, the process proceeds to step 603, otherwise, the process ends.

In this step, after receiving the task information, the OMS management module in the BSC performs task verification. For the task that fails to verify, the OMC returns a failure response directly, and the process terminates. For the successful verification, the process proceeds to the step. 603.

Step 603: The management module saves the monitoring task information.

In this step, the BSC is responsible for saving the monitoring task in the local task list for the monitoring task that is successfully verified.

Step 606: The base station processes the corresponding task information. In this step, after the collection module on the base station receives the task information, the monitoring task is processed accordingly.

Embodiment 2, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a process for monitoring AMR data reporting according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the method may include:

Step 701: The collection module determines whether the timing granularity of the monitoring task arrives, and if yes, proceeds to step 701, otherwise continues to check.

In this step, the forwarding module monitors the task matching function by calling the management module to determine whether the monitoring object is legal. If it is legal, go to step 704; otherwise, terminate.

Step 704: The link state determining unit determines the link state information.

Step 705: Determine whether the status of the front and back link is normal and whether it is the main processing board. If the link is normal and the main processing board, go to step 706; otherwise, the process ends.

Step 706: The forwarding module reports the monitoring information.

In this step, the forwarding module reports the monitoring information to the OMC.

Step 707: The OMC displays the monitoring information graphically.
