a first decision dimension generated by the decision entity; and/or

Transmit the second decision dimension generated by the entity. The decision entity may be an Integration Reference Point Agent (IRPAgent) of an Element Management Layer (EML), an Integration Reference Point Manager (IRPManager); or The decision entity may be an IRPManager, and the transport entity may be an IRPAgent; or the decision entity may be a macro base station, and the transport entity may be an IRPAgent and/or an IRPManager.

In a heterogeneous network, the decision dimensions for determining the importance of a cell under the TP or the TP are various, and there is a decision dimension that is generally applicable to the operator, and there is also an operator-specific decision dimension. Within the operator network, the decision dimension information of the importance of the TP or the cell under the TP can be maintained and applied in different levels of the management system.

For example, the IRPManager can be based on the planning data of the macro base station in the heterogeneous network and the deployment role of the micro base station (for example, the continuous uninterrupted availability experience of the 7*24-hour mode used by the micro base station to satisfy a certain type of service), TP ( That is, whether the macro base station or the micro base station is shared by multiple operators, the traffic model of the hotspot area, whether the cell under the TP generates a high-yield service fee, the user type distribution, and the like determine some static decision dimensions (also called fixed Determining the dimension).

A cell under the TP is considered to be important when the traffic carried by it is high, and is considered to be non-critical when the traffic carried by it is low. That is: the importance of a TP (for example, a macro base station or a micro base station) or a cell under a TP changes with time, and a cell under TP or TP is important for a period of time, and the TP is in another period of time. The cell under the TP is not important.

More and more micro base stations are deployed on demand to the network where only the macro base station realizes full coverage, and the micro base station can be flexibly turned on or off, and the original macro network can be continuously adjusted (a network formed by a single type of macro base station) Coverage or capacity mode. Due to the large number of micro base stations in a heterogeneous network, it is necessary to reduce the amount of configuration, performance, and alarm data generated in the heterogeneous network, so that on-demand configuration, on-demand acquisition, and on-demand reporting, for example, for important The TP or the cell under the TP allocates more management resources (that is, configuration, performance, and alarm data is sent or reported), and allocates less management resources to the non-critical TP or the cell under the TP ( That is, the configuration, performance, and alarm data are delivered or reported to maximize the use efficiency of management resources in a heterogeneous network.

Optionally, in a possible implementation manner of the embodiment, the determining entity may perform performance measurement task setting corresponding to the importance information. For example, an important TP or a cell in the TP performs performance data reporting according to a 15-minute performance reporting period. The non-critical TP or the cell in the TP performs performance data reporting according to the 2-hour performance reporting period. In this way, an important TP or a cell under the TP can obtain finer-grained management monitoring data to ensure the TP or the The reliable operation performance and service quality of the community under TP.

For example, an important TP or a small area of the TP performs alarm reporting of all alarm levels. A non-critical TP or a cell under the TP only reports an alarm with a severity of "critical". In this way, an important TP or a cell under the TP can obtain finer-grained management monitoring data to ensure reliable performance and quality of service of the cell under the TP or the TP.

Optionally, in a possible implementation manner of the embodiment, after the TP receives the importance information, the TP may specifically perform a performance measurement task setting corresponding to the importance information. For example, an important TP or a cell under the TP performs performance data reporting according to a performance reporting period of 15 minutes. The non-critical TP or the cell under the TP performs performance data reporting according to a performance reporting period of 2 hours. In this way, an important TP or a cell under the TP can obtain finer-grained management monitoring data to ensure reliable performance and service quality of the cell under the TP or the TP.

Optionally, in a possible implementation manner of the embodiment, after the TP receives the importance information, the TP may specifically perform a fault management function setting corresponding to the importance information. For example, the important TP or the cell in the TP performs the alarm reporting of all the alarm levels. The non-critical TP or the cell in the TP only reports the alarm with the alarm severity being "serious". In this way, the important TP or the cell under the TP can obtain finer-grained management monitoring data to ensure the reliable running performance and quality of service of the cell under the TP or the TP.

Optionally, the Associated PM Settings may further be included in the framework object. For example, the setting includes the TP under the TP or the performance reporting period of the cell in the TP. The non-critical TP or the cell in the TP performs the performance data according to the performance reporting period of 2 hours. Reported. In this way, an important TP or a cell under the TP can obtain finer-grained management monitoring data to ensure reliable performance and quality of service of the cell under the TP or the TP.

For example, the setting includes an alarm reporting to indicate that the important TP or the cell in the TP performs all the alarm levels. The non-critical TP or the cell in the TP only reports the alarm with the alarm severity being "serious". In this way, an important TP or a cell under the TP More fine-grained management monitoring data can be obtained to ensure reliable operation performance and service quality of the cell under the TP or the TP.

In addition, in the application of the Self Organizing Network (SON) function, if different TPs in the heterogeneous network perform the same SON function and perform an execution conflict, the SON coordination algorithm may generate a pair according to the determination result of the TP. The function of the conflict is coordinated. For example, when a cell failure occurs in multiple cells under multiple TPs or TPs, the cells in the normal TP or TP can be used to compensate the cells in the TP or TP where the cell failure fails. Using the coordination algorithm of the self healing function, and according to the importance of the TP or the cell under the TP, the important TP or the cell under the TP is preferentially selected for failure compensation. Specifically, the coverage hole formed by the cells under different TPs or TPs may be compensated according to the importance of the TP or the cell under the TP by adjusting the coverage parameters. For example, the coverage resource of the cell under the normal TP or TP may be prioritized as an important TP or a cell under the TP for failure compensation.

In this embodiment, the determining entity obtains the determining dimension information, where the determining dimension information is used to obtain the importance information of the TP or the cell under the TP, so that the determining entity can obtain the The importance information of the cell under the TP or the TP, thereby realizing the importance of determining the TP or the cell under the TP, so that the TP or the importance of the cell under the TP can be performed according to the determined TP or the importance of the cell under the TP.
