具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造 性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请的主要思想之一可以包括:
基带单元确定其覆盖范围内的第一小区的网络质量降低时,确定该第一小区的负载信息,当其负载小于等于第一负载门限时,确定第一小区的邻区中,与该第一小区信号干扰最强的第二小区,从而选择该第二小区中的RRU合并到该第一小区中,得到合并小区。合并小区负载小于等于第一负载门限时,又可以被确定为第一小区,从而进一步进行RRU合并,直至合并小区的负载大于第一负载门限。合并的RRU选择信号干扰最强的小区中的RRU,因此通过RRU合并降低了小区之间的干扰,保证了负载和干扰的平衡,提高了网络质量,提升了用户网络体验。
图1为本申请实施例提供的一种控制方法一个实施例的流程图,该方法可以包括几个步骤:
101:BBU(Baseband Unit,基带单元)在确定其覆盖范围内的多个小区中的第一小区的网络质量降低时,确定所述第一小区的负载信息。
BBU可以根据小区的话统信息,确定小区的网络质量以及负载。该话统信息可以包括掉话率、切换成功率、切换次数、负载、频谱效率等信息。根据话统信息,可以判断其中的KPI(Key Performance Indicators,关键性能指标),例如掉话率、切换成功率等是否低于门限值,从而可以确定网络质量是否降低。
本申请实施例中第一小区是指多个小区中的任意一个小区。
本申请实施例主要应用于BBU+RRU(Remote Radio Unit,射频拉远单元)的多通道组网方案,一个BBU支持多个RRU的应用情景。特别适用于室内的网络覆盖。
102:当所述第一小区的负载小于等于第一负载门限,根据RRU信号强度,确定所述第一小区的邻区中与所述第一小区信号干扰最强的第二小区。
发明人在实现本发明的过程中发现,网络质量的降低通常是由于小区之间的干扰以及小区负载过高造成的,因此在检测到网络质量降低时,可以根据小区负载信息,对小区中的RRU进行调整,以能够降低小区间干扰,提高网络质量。
该RRU信号强度可以是通过移动终端测量得到的。
本实施例中将第一小区的负载与第一负载门限进行比较,若第一小区的负载小于等于第一负载门限,则可以通过合并RRU方式,降低小区之间的干扰,提升用户体验。
第一负载门限限定了小区可以承载负载的最低值。
具体的,本申请实施例中,可以首先确定第一小区的邻区中,与该第一小区的信号干扰最强的小区,为了描述方便,定义为第二小区。
相邻小区之间存在信号干扰,由于每一小区由RRU组成,因此信号干扰强度可以根据小区中的RRU的信号强度确定。
在一种可能实现方式中,邻区信号强度越大,对第一小区的干扰可能就越大,从而可以确定出与第一小区信号干扰最强的第二小区,也即第二小区为第一小区的邻区中的信号强度最大的小区。
103:将所述第一小区的RRU与所述第二小区的RRU进行合并,得到合并小区。
确定出第二小区后,可以将第一小区的RRU与该第二小区的RRU进行合并,形成新的小区,即合并小区,由于第一小区是和与该第一小区信号干扰最强的第二小区的RRU进行合并,从而使得合并小区与其他小区之间的干扰降低,可以提升用户体验。
其中,与第一小区RRU合并的第二小区的RRU可以是第二小区中的全部RRU或者第二小区中的部分RRU,为了进一步降低信号干扰,可以具体选择的第二小区中与第一小区信号干扰较强的RRU。
当然,在实际应用中,作为一种可能的情况,第一小区与第二小区的所有RRU进行合并得到的合并小区,其负载可能仍小于等于第一负载门限,此时该合并小区即又判定作为第一小区而重复执行步骤101~步骤103的操作,直至最终得到的合并小区大于该第一负载门限。
当合并小区的负载大于所述第一负载门限时,即可以对合并小区进行参数配置等操作,使得该合并小区可以应用。
在本实施例中,当第一小区的网络质量降低,且其负载小于等于第一负载门限时,首先确定第一小区的邻区中,与该第一小区信号干扰最强的第二小区, 从而选择该第二小区中的RRU合并到该第一小区中,得到合并小区。基带单元可以将合并小区作为第一小区,检测其负载是否小于等于第一负载门限,从而可以进一步进行RRU合并,直至合并小区的负载大于第一负载门限。合并的RRU是选择信号干扰最强的小区中的RRU,因此通过RRU合并,可以降低小区之间的干扰,保证了负载和干扰的平衡,提高了网络质量,提升了用户网络体验。
图2为本申请实施例提供的一种控制方法另一个实施例的流程图,该方法可以包括几个步骤:
201:BBU在确定其覆盖范围内的多个小区中的第一小区的网络质量降低时,确定所述第一小区的负载信息。
202:判断所述第一小区的负载是否小于等于第一负载门限,如果是,执行步骤203,如果否,则结束流程。
203:根据RRU信号强度,确定所述第一小区的邻区中与所述第一小区信号干扰最强的第二小区。
作为一种可能的实现方式,RRU信号强度可以触发移动终端测量得到,测量结果可以携带在测量报告(MR,Measurement Report)中由移动终端上报。因此该RRU信号强度可以是从移动终端上报的多个测量报告中获得。
该多个测量报告可以包括多个移动终端进行测量得到的测量报告,当包括多个移动终端时,该多个测量报告包括每一移动终端在测量时间段内,可能处于不同位置时分别测量得到的测量报告。
每一测量报告中包括测量得到的RRU的信号强度,在不同位置测量得到的测量报告中包括的RRU不同,不同移动终端测量得到的测量报告中包括的RRU也可能不同。
因此根据多个测量报告中的RRU信号强度,可以统计得出各个小区的信号强度,从而可以确定出RRU之间、RRU与小区之间,以及小区与小区之间的信号干扰强度。
为了方便理解,假设多个测量报告具体为n个,BBU支持的RRU为m个,m和n均正整数,多个测量报告分别测量得到的RRU信号强度,可以以 表1进行表示:
表 1
  RRU1 RRU2 …… RRUj …… RRUm
MR1 a11 a12 …… a1j …… a1m
MR2 a21 a22 …… a2j …… a2m
…… …… …… …… …… …… ……
MRi ai1 ai2 …… aij …… aim
…… …… …… …… …… …… ……
MRn an1 an2 …… anj …… amm
其中,m≥3,1≤j≤m,n≥1,1≤i≤n。aij表示测量报告MRi中测量的RRUj的信号强度。n越大所确定的信号干扰强度准确。当测量报告MRi中未检测到RRUj的信号强度,则该aij即为0。
根据多个测量报告测量得到的RRU信号强度,可以计算RRU之间、RRU与小区之间,以及小区与小区之间的信号干扰强度,
作为一种可能的实现方式:
任两个RRU之间的信号干扰强度可以为同时检测到两个RRU信号强度的比例之和,以表1为例,RRUi对RRUk的信号干扰强度为:
Figure PCTCN2014086829-appb-000001
若测量报告中未检测到两个RRU的信号强度,则信号干扰强度为0。
RRU与小区之间的信号干扰强度,可以是首先计算每个测量报告中RRU信号强度与小区信号强度的比例,然后计算所有比例之和,小区信号强度为该测量报告中属于所述小区的所有RRU的信号强度之和。例如,小区A包括RRUl、RRUp、RRUq,则RRUq与小区A的信号干扰强度为:
Figure PCTCN2014086829-appb-000002
小区与小区之间的信号干扰程度,可以首先计算每个测量报告中小区信号 信号强度比例,然后计算所有比例之和。例如,小区A包括RRUl、RRUp、RRUq,小区B包括RRUx、RRUy、RRUz,则小区A和小区B的信号干扰强度为:
Figure PCTCN2014086829-appb-000003
多个RRU之间,以及多个RRU与小区之间的信号干扰程序计算方式与上述方式相同。
因此,根据多个测量报告中的RRU信号强度,可以确定出与第一小区信号干扰最强的邻区。例如,小区B的邻区包括小区A、小区C、小区D,按照上述计算各个邻区与小区B的信号干扰强度,信号干扰强度值最大的小区即为第二小区。
其中,作为一种可能的实现方式,与第一小区信号干扰最强的邻区可能包括多个,即存在两个邻区与第一小区的信号干扰强度相等,且大于其他邻区与第一小区的信号干扰强度,此时可以从中选择RRU个数多的小区作为第二小区。
204:判断所述第一小区与所述第二小区的负载之和是否小于第二负载门限,如果是,执行步骤205,如果否,执行步骤206。
205:将所述第一小区的RRU与所述第二小区的RRU进行合并,得到合并小区。
其中,第二负载门限大于该第一负载门限,该第二负载门限限定了小区可以承载负载的最高值,若高于该第二负载门限,则可能会影响小区网络质量。
若合并小区的负载仍小于等于第一负载门限,该合并小区又可以确定为第一小区,从而可以返回步骤202继续执行。
206:将第二小区中与所述第一小区的负载之和小于所述第二负载门限,且与所述第一小区的信号干扰强的至少一个RRU,与所述第一小区的全部RRU进行合并,得到合并小区。
若第一小区与第二小区的负载之和大于等于第二负载门限,则可以只选择部分第二小区中的RRU与第一小区进行合并。
该部分第二小区中的RRU可以选择的是与第一小区的信号干扰较强,且 与第一小区负载之和小于第二负载门限的RRU。RRU与第一小区的信号干扰强度可以参照步骤203中所述,以提高计算的准确度。
其中,作为一种可能的实现方式,该步骤206可以包括:
将第二小区中与所述第一小区的负载之和小于所述第二负载门限,且与所述第一小区的信号干扰最强的RRU,合并到所述第一小区中。
重复执行将第二小区剩余RRU中与合并RRU后的第一小区的负载之和小于所述第二负载门限,且与所述合并RRU后的第一小区的信号干扰最强的RRU,合并到所述第一小区中的操作,直至所述第二小区剩余RRU的负载之和小于等于所述第一负载门限,所述第二小区剩余RRU为所述第二小区中不包括与第一小区进行合并的RRU的其他RRU。
即首先选择一个信号干扰最强的RRU合并到第一小区中。然后判断第二小区的剩余RRU的负载之和是否大于该第一负载门限:
如果小于等于该第一负载门限,则合并后的第一小区即作为合并小区,第二小区的剩余RRU组成新的小区,合并小区和新的小区多可以作为第一小区,从而可以返回步骤202继续执行。
如果大于该第一负载门限,则继续选择第二小区剩余RRU中,与合并RRU后的第一小区的负载之和小于所述第二负载门限,且与所述合并RRU后的第一小区的信号干扰最强的RRU,合并到所述第一小区中,直至判断出第二小区剩余RRU的负载之和小于等于所述第一负载门限,则最终合并后的第一小区即作为合并小区,第二小区的剩余RRU组成新的小区,合并小区和新的小区还可能被确定为第一小区,从而可以返回步骤202继续执行。
在本实施例中,第一小区的网络质量降低,且其负载小于等于第一负载门限时,首先确定第一小区的邻区中,与该第一小区信号干扰最强的第二小区,从而在第一小区与第二小区的负载之和小于第二负载门限时,可以将第一小区与第二小区的RRU进行合并;在第一小区与第二小区的负载之和大于等于第二负载门限时,可以选择第二小区中与第一小区信号干扰强,且与第一小区的负载之和小于第二负载门限的部分RRU,合并到第一小区中,得到合并小区。合并小区的负载提高,且合并小区又可以作为第一小区,在其负载小于等于第一负载门限时,从而可以继续进行RRU合并,直至合并小区的负载大于第一 负载门限。合并的RRU是选择信号干扰最强的小区中的RRU,因此通过RRU合并降低了小区之间的干扰,保证了负载和干扰的平衡,提高了网络质量,提升了用户网络体验。
图3为本申请实施例提供的一种控制方法又一个实施例的流程图,该方法可以包括以下步骤:
301:BBU在确定其覆盖范围内的多个小区中的第一小区的网络质量降低时,确定所述第一小区的负载信息。
302:判断所述第一小区的负载是否小于等于第一负载门限,如果是,执行步骤303,如果否,则结束流程。
303:根据RRU信号强度,确定所述第一小区的邻区中与所述第一小区信号干扰最强的第二小区。
其中,该RRU信号强度具体可以是从移动终端上报的多个测量报告中的获得,所述多个测量报告包括多个移动终端进行信号测量时上报的测量报告。
则确定所述第一小区的邻区中与所述第一小区信号干扰最强的第二小区可以具体包括:
计算每一测量报告中第一小区信号强度与所述第一小区的各个邻区的信号强度的比例,其中,每一测量报告中小区信号强度为所述测量报告中属于同一小区的所有RRU的信号强度之和;
累加每一测量报告中所述第一小区信号强度与同一邻区的信号强度的比例之和,作为第一小区与所述邻区的信号干扰强度;
根据第一小区与各个邻区的信号干扰强度,确定与所述第一小区信号干扰最强的第二小区。
304:将所述第一小区的RRU与所述第二小区的RRU进行合并,得到合并小区。
其中,将所述第一小区的RRU与所述第二小区的RRU进行合并可以具体包括:
当所述第一小区与所述第二小区的负载之和小于第二负载门限时,将所述第二小区的全部RRU合并到所述第一小区中;
当所述第一小区与所述第二小区的负载之和大于等于所述第二负载门限时,将第二小区中与所述第一小区的负载之和小于所述第二负载门限,且与所述第一小区的信号干扰强的至少一个RRU,合并到所述第一小区中。
作为一种可能的实现方式,如图3a所示,图3a示出了本实施例中一种小区合并方式的流程图,该步骤304可以包括:
3041:判断所述第一小区与所述第二小区的负载之和是否小于第二负载门限,如果是,执行步骤3042,如果否,执行步骤3043。
3042:将所述第二小区的全部RRU合并到所述第一小区中。
3043:选择第二小区中与所述第一小区的负载之和小于所述第二负载门限,且与所述第一小区的信号干扰最强的RRU合并到所述第一小区中。
3044:判断第二小区剩余RRU的负载之和是否小于等于第一负载门限,如果否,执行步骤3045,如果是,执行步骤3046。
3045:将第二小区剩余RRU中与合并RRU后的第一小区的负载之和小于所述第二负载门限,且与所述合并RRU后的第一小区的信号干扰最强的RRU,合并到所述第一小区中,并返回步骤3044。
3046:将合并RRU后的第一小区作为合并小区,第二小区的剩余RRU组成新的小区。
合并小区和新的小区又可以作为第一小区,从而可以返回步骤302继续执行。
所述第二小区剩余RRU为所述第二小区中不包括与第一小区进行合并的RRU的其他RRU。
305:判断所述第一小区的负载是否大于等于第二负载门限,如果是,执行步骤306,如果否,则结束流程。
第二负载门限限定了第一小区可以承载负载的最高值,若高于该第二负载门限,即可能会影响小区网络质量。
306:根据所述RRU信号强度,将所述第一小区进行分裂,得到多个至少包括一个RRU的分裂小区。使得所述分裂小区的负载小于所述第二负载门限。
第一小区的负载大于等于第二负载门限时,可以将第一小区进行分裂,得到多个至少包括一个RRU的分裂小区。从而使得分裂小区的负载可以小于该 第二负载门限,以提高网络质量,提升用户体验。
其中,在一种可能实现方式中,如图3b所示,图3示出了本实施例中一种小区分裂方式的流程图,该步骤306可以包括:
3061:根据RRU信号强度,选择所述第一小区中负载之和小于所述第二负载门限,且信号干扰最强的两个RRU进行合并,得到第一分裂小区;
3062:判断所述第一小区剩余RRU的负载之和是否小于所述第二负载门限,如果是,执行步骤3063,如果否,执行步骤3064。
3063:将所述第一小区剩余RRU作为第二分裂小区。
3064:将所述第一小区剩余RRU中与所述第一分裂小区的负载之和小于所述第二负载门限,且与所述第一分裂小区的信号干扰最强的RRU,合并到所述第一分裂小区,并返回步骤3062继续执行。
其中,步骤3061的操作是在第一小区中的RRU大于两个的情况下执行。当第一小区中RRU数量仅包括两个时,则可以由两个RRU分别组成分裂小区,从而第一小区分裂出两个分裂小区。
第一小区剩余RRU为所述第一小区中不包括已进行合并的RRU的其他RRU。
在本实施例中,当第一小区的网络质量降低,且其负载小于等于第一负载门限时,首先确定第一小区的邻区中,与该第一小区信号干扰最强的第二小区,从而选择该第二小区中的RRU合并到该第一小区中,得到合并小区。基带单元可以将合并小区作为第一小区,检测其负载是否小于等于第一负载门限,从而可以进一步进行RRU合并,直至合并小区的负载大于第一负载门限。当第一小区的负载大于等于第二负载门限时,可以将该第一小区进行分裂,得到多个至少包括一个的RRU的分裂小区,使得分裂小区的负载小于该第二负载门限。本实施例通过将小区进行合并或者分裂,可以降低小区之间的干扰,保证了负载和干扰的平衡,提高了网络质量,提升了用户网络体验。
