Description

Test file acquisition method, device, test terminal and server

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a test terminal, and a server for acquiring a test file. Background technique

The road test is a downlink signal to the wireless network, that is, the air interface is tested, and mainly collects key indicators such as signal strength, voice quality, call, dropped call, and handover of the service area. Road test is one of the main means to evaluate wireless network quality and network optimization. During network construction and operation and maintenance, a large number of drive tests are required and a large number of test files are formed.

The test file must be combined with the base station information for analysis. The test file and the base station information match errors, which may result in inaccurate analysis results. Adjusting the network based on these inaccurate analysis results may result in network performance degradation.

Since the current base station information is stored in a separate file format, in actual work, it is often encountered that the test file and the base station information do not match. For example, in the network construction phase, the new stations will enter the network one after another, and the test data at different times on the same day will be different due to the new stations entering the network. For a medium or large network, a large amount of drive test data is generated, which will have a large amount of base station information corresponding to the drive test data. When analyzing these data, the analysts manually matched the drive test data and the base station information, and they often made mistakes. For example, in the centralized network optimization phase, a large number of adjustments are made according to the analysis every day, and a large amount of road test data and base station information are also generated. If the project site needs rear support, and the data is returned to the rear for analysis, the same is true for the road test data. And things like base station information.

Base station information, as an important asset of operators, usually has confidentiality requirements. Directly providing base station information stored in a separate file has the problem of base station information leakage, because the road test data analysis is not only carried out by the operator's own employees, but more often requires equipment vendors and outsourcers to participate. In addition, in general, the coverage of the road test data is only a small part relative to the entire network, but the base station information provided is difficult to manually cut a base station signal that corresponds to the drive test data. Interest, and because it is difficult to monitor and manage, operator engineers usually provide a file containing all base station information to the equipment engineer or outsourcer's analysis engineer.

Therefore, in the related art, there is a problem that the test file of the drive test and the base station information are difficult to match.

The form, for example, the test area information may be the GPS information at the time of the test, or may be the cell characteristic information of the cell in the test signaling, and the information is used for calculating the test range of the base station module of the automatic identification test in the base station information server. Related base stations.

Step 506: Determine whether to send only the ID information of the snapshot. In this step, the base station information corresponding to the test network information identified by the server, if only the ID information of the snapshot is sent, step 509 is performed, and if not only the ID information is sent, step 507 is performed.

Step 507: The server returns the base station information to the test terminal.

Step 508: The test terminal saves the base station information and the test data together into the test file. Step 509: The base station information server saves a snapshot of the base station information.

Step 510: The base station information server returns the base station information snapshot ID to the test terminal.

Step 511: The test terminal integrates the received snapshot ID or base station information into the drive test data, and deposits the test file together.

The above technical solution of the embodiment is used, that is, by automatically identifying the relevant cell of the test area, generating a specific base station information including the relevant cells, and merging the specific base station information into the test file, eliminating the need for When analyzing test files, manually collect and match the base station engineering information during the test. At the same time, it reduces the risk of information leakage when the Bureau asks the equipment supplier or outsourcer to analyze the test files and directly provide the base station project information table file.
