Description

Measurement reporting method, device and system

The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201210000827.3, entitled "A Measurement Reporting Method, Apparatus, and System" on January 4, 2012, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. In the application.

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a system for measuring and reporting. Background technique

Minimization Of Drive Tests (MDTs) are new features introduced during the LTE Rel-10 phase. The purpose is to enable the terminal to participate in the drive test work through the network side configuration. Road test refers to the network operator's field test of the deployed network, including measuring the pilot signal strength of different geographical locations, broadcast channel coverage and bit error rate, paging success probability, and terminal throughput. Since the current tests require vehicles and manpower with dedicated measuring instruments to be tested along the road, this test is called road test.

In the MDT study, how to obtain the location information of the terminal is a key factor related to whether the MDT function can be practical. The method for obtaining the location information of the drive test terminal in the prior art is:

When the terminal is configured to perform MDT, once the terminal collects drive test data (such as pilot strength, terminal throughput, etc.), the terminal needs to embed the location information into the collected drive test data. The location information includes location information of a valid Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) currently owned by the terminal, or the terminal does not currently have valid GNSS location information, and the terminal needs to guide up to 6 intra-frequency cells. The frequency strength information is reported as auxiliary position information. Correspondingly, when the system entity of the network side device operation management and maintenance (0 AM, Operation Administration and Maintenance) obtains the drive test log including the drive test data reported by the terminal, the corresponding location information of the drive test data in the drive test log is obtained as follows:

1) If the drive test log contains the location information of the GNSS, the OAM system entity can directly use the GNSS data as the location information;

2) If the drive test log does not contain the location information of the GNSS, the OAM system entity infers the corresponding location information according to the pilot signal strengths of up to six intra-frequency neighbors carried in the test log.

When the terminal collects the drive test data by using the prior art, it tries to add the position information as accurate as possible to the drive test data. That is to say, the record of the location information is passive, and the road test data is obtained. After the data is measured, the most effective location information is added. In the actual network, the terminal does not necessarily measure the terminal at this time, so there is no road test data. In this case, the mismatch between the accurate location information and the terminal measurement time point causes a waste of location information.

Summary of the invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS It is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention. Moreover, the following embodiments are all alternatives to the present invention, and the order of the embodiments and the numbering of the embodiments are independent of their preferred execution order.

Example 1

This embodiment provides a measurement reporting method, which needs to specify a new reporting event (event C) in the standard, and the measurement event is used to indicate that the terminal owns location information. This location information refers to more accurate location information including latitude and longitude such as GNSS. When the network side performs measurement configuration for the terminal, a new report configuration (report configuration) is required. The new report configuration includes:

A. The trigger condition for reporting the drive test data by the terminal: Reporting the measurement event (event C) as the trigger condition. That is, when the terminal obtains the location information, the process of reporting the drive test data is triggered.

B. The reporting method of the road test data is performed by the terminal: the event triggers a report (that is, triggers the transmission of the drive test data only when the terminal meets the report trigger condition) or the event trigger cycle report (that is, when the terminal meets the report trigger condition, the drive test data is triggered. The transmission will start the timer between the multiple test and the counter of the number of drive tests until the end of the number of reports reaches the end of the process.

When the measurement configuration is performed, the network side needs to associate the report configuration with the measurement object to form an index called a measurement identifier, that is, a measurement target and a report configuration under one measurement identifier. In this embodiment, the reporting configuration may use the network configuration in the existing standard to complete the matching with the measurement target, or a default matching mechanism may be adopted, for example, for all measurement objects. This reporting configuration is associated to form multiple measurement identifiers (the number of measurement identifiers is the same as the measurement object). Or the reporting configuration is performed only for the serving cell and the same-frequency neighboring cell to form one measurement identifier. After the foregoing content is deployed on the network side, as shown in FIG. 1 , the method includes: Step 101: The base station on the network side sends a measurement configuration command including a measurement identifier to the terminal, where the measurement identifier is used to associate with the corresponding report configuration and measurement. The object, the reporting configuration includes reporting the reporting event of the drive test data and the reporting manner of the terminal drive test data when the terminal acquires the location information; and receiving the measurement configuration command sent by the base station from the network side.

Step 102: The terminal performs measurement configuration according to the upper configuration and the measurement object corresponding to the measurement identifier, and the report configuration includes reporting the report event of the drive test data and the terminal road test when the terminal obtains the location information. Method of reporting data;

The reporting manner includes: triggering the event once, or triggering the periodic reporting for the reporting event.

Step 103: When parsing the report to the report configuration, the terminal includes determining whether the location information is reported when the terminal reports the report event of the drive test data when the terminal obtains the location information; if it is determined to have the location information, step 104 is performed; if it is determined that the location information is not owned, Then, step 105 is performed.

Specifically, the terminal parses the upper event in the configuration, and if the terminal finds that the report configuration corresponding to the measurement identifier includes at least the C event, it will start to detect whether it has accurate location information, and if yes, execute step 104; Otherwise, step 105 is performed.

Step 104: The terminal triggers reporting of the drive test data of the measurement object.

In this embodiment, the terminal may report the drive test data to the base station according to the reporting manner of the terminal drive test data.

After receiving the test data, the base station reports the data to the network management device. The processing procedure after the network management device receives the test data is the same as that in the prior art, and is not described in this embodiment.

Specifically, the reported drive test data may include one or all of Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) or Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ).

In addition, when the terminal reports the drive test data, the location information needs to be added to the drive test data. Therefore, the method of adding the drive test data to the location information so as to make the drive test data valid is as follows: The time interval between the time of the location information and the time when the road test was last performed. If the time interval is less than the preset interval value, the location information is added to the drive test data, and the network is >3⁄4 If the time interval is not less than the preset interval value, the drive test is re-executed, and the location information is added to the drive test data after the road test is re-executed, and reported to the network side.

Step 105: The terminal waits for the accurate location information to be reported, and then waits to receive the measurement configuration command on the network side.

Further, in the present embodiment, for the terminal in the idle (IDLE) state, since the connection is not established with the network, the above method cannot be performed in a manner of measuring the configuration quality.

In this case, it can be configured by prior standard or when the network is connected at the terminal. The way to achieve location information triggers measurement reporting. Specifically:

When the terminal is in an idle state, if the preset idle report condition is met, the report of the drive test data of the measurement object is triggered; or

When the terminal is in the connected state with the network side, the idle reporting condition is obtained, and when the idle idle state is met, the situation that the preset idle reporting condition is met is triggered, and the path to the measurement object is triggered. The report data is reported.

The idle condition may be: When the terminal is in the IDLE state and the logged MDT is performed, if the terminal activates the GNSS function and has valid GNSS location information, the terminal needs to trigger the latest measurement result as the drive test data. Recording, and obtaining the location information of the GNSS is associated with the drive test data, so that the location information of the valid GNSS is added to the drive test data >3⁄4 to the network side.

In the method provided by the embodiment, when the terminal has accurate location information, the terminal will actively upload 4 road test data, thereby realizing efficient use of the terminal location information, thereby increasing the measurement of the drive test data including the accurate location information. The number of logs increases the availability of drive test data.
