As shown in FIG. 1 , the communication system may include a core network device on the core network (CN) side, a base station on the radio access network (RAN) side, and a user equipment (User Equipment, UE). The core network device may be, for example, a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, or may be a communication system using a new radio access technology (new RAT, NR), for example, The core network device in the 5G system is not limited in this embodiment. Optionally, the communication system may further include a network element management unit and a network management unit, where the network element management unit may be a management device independent of the core network side and the access network side, or may be an access network side or Other management devices on the core network side. The network element management unit is a network element that manages a device vendor (the network element here refers to the device on the RAN side or the device on the CN side), and may manage multiple network elements, or may only Manage a network element. Optionally, the network management unit may be an operator network management system, which may manage multiple network element management units, such as network element management units of different equipment vendors. The access network can communicate with the network element management unit through the southbound interface, and the network element management unit can communicate with the network management unit through the northbound interface, and the core network can also directly communicate with the network element management unit through other interfaces. It should be noted that the foregoing base station and the network element management unit may be referred to as a network device in this embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the technical solution provided by the present application can be extended to other networks, such as a Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), and the foregoing base station can be replaced with an AC (access control) in the WLAN.

Optionally, the base station involved in the present application may refer to a device in the access network that communicates with the wireless terminal through one or more sectors on the air interface. The base station can be used to convert the received air frame to the IP packet as a router between the wireless terminal and the rest of the access network, wherein the remainder of the access network can include an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The base station can also coordinate attribute management of the air interface. For example, the base station may be an evolved base station (NodeB or eNB or e-NodeB, evolutional Node B) in LTE.

The user equipment involved in this application may be a wireless terminal device or a wired terminal device. The wireless terminal can be a handheld device with wireless connectivity, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, and a mobile terminal that communicates with one or more core networks via a wireless access network. For example, the wireless terminal can be a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal. As another example, the wireless terminal can also be a portable, pocket, handheld, computer built-in or in-vehicle mobile device. The user equipment may be a smart super-table device, an intelligent parking management device, or the like having communication with the access network side and the core network side.

With the development of communication technologies, more and more services need to access wireless networks. In addition to the traditional Mobile Broadband (MBB) services, these services include many vertical industry services, such as hydropower coal meter reading. , Mass Parking, Smart Light Bar and other Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) services. Since the wireless network is deployed by the operator, the operator usually needs to refer to the Key Performance Index (KPI) of the cell when optimizing the wireless network, and the KPI may include the transmission delay of the data packet, the dropped call rate, and the like. Therefore, the network side needs to calculate the KPI of the cell in real time or periodically. In the prior art, when the network side counts the KPI, the cell is a KPI statistical granularity, thereby obtaining the KPI of each cell accessing the wireless network. The operator optimizes the wireless network according to the obtained KPIs of the respective cells.

However, the KPIs in the prior art do not reflect the network performance requirements of different services. For example, if a cell includes 2 UEs, the service delay required for the service on UE1 is 10s, and the service needs on UE2 are required. The transmission delay is 100s, that is, the service requirement on UE1 needs to send the data packet to the core network within 10s, and the service requirement on UE2 needs to send the data packet to the core network within 100s. However, when the radio access network delays the transmission of the cell, it generally takes the average of the delay as the transmission delay of the entire cell, that is, the transmission delay of the cell counted by the radio access network is 55 s. Access network It is not possible to accurately know whether the service on UE1 is successfully transmitted within the required delay. The average delay does not reflect the actual performance requirements of the service on UE1 for the wireless network.

Therefore, the method for obtaining the service KPI provided by the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problem of the prior art.

Optionally, a UE may have a service ID, and may also have multiple service IDs, that is, one UE may have one application service, and may also have multiple application services, which is not limited in this embodiment. Optionally, the network device in the embodiment of the present application may be a base station in a 4G communication system or a 5G communication system, or may be an AC in a WLAN system, or may be a network element management in a 4G communication system or a 5G communication system. unit.

Optionally, the application service represented by the service ID may be any service under massive Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) service, or may be ultra-high reliability and ultra-low latency communication (Ultra Reliable & Low) Latency Communication, URLLC) Any business under the business. That is, the service ID can be used to indicate which specific service is the MMTC service, and the specific service under the mMTC service can include: smart water meter reading service, smart meter reading service, smart gas meter reading service, Intelligent parking service, smart light pole service, etc., such a service sends less packets per UE, and the delay requirements are not high, and some of the services have higher power consumption requirements.

Specifically, after the network device determines the KPI type corresponding to each UE, the network device may divide the UEs according to the service ID, that is, the network device may know which UEs have the same service ID, and then the network device may correspond to the UE according to the part. The KPI type obtains the first KPI of such application services on all or part of the UEs in the part of the UE, and then obtains according to the obtained The first KPIs obtain the KPI of the application service corresponding to the service ID, and the network device can optimize the network according to the KPI of different application services, so that the optimized wireless network can meet the requirements of different application services.

For example, it is assumed that the network device currently obtains the service IDs of the six UEs, which are the service ID1 corresponding to the UE1, the service ID1 corresponding to the UE2, the service ID2 corresponding to the UE3, and the service ID1 corresponding to the UE4. Parking service), the service ID2 corresponding to the UE5 (the application service characterized by the service ID2 is assumed to be an electrical meter reading service), the service ID1 corresponding to the UE6, and the network device respectively determines the KPI type corresponding to the service ID1 according to the correspondence between the service ID and the KPI type. For the dropped call rate, the KPI type corresponding to the service ID2 is the packet transmission delay. Based on this, the network device can separately obtain the first KPI of the parking service on the UE1, UE2, UE4, and UE6, and then the network device can A KPI that obtains the KPI of the parking service in the current wireless network. The operation performed by the network device is similar to the foregoing service ID2, and details are not described herein again.

Optionally, when the service ID of the UE obtained by the network device is different from the other service IDs obtained by the network device, that is, the operator separately configures one type of application service to one of the UEs, and therefore, the network The device only needs to obtain the first KPI of the application service corresponding to the service ID according to the KPI type corresponding to the service ID, so that the first KPI is used as the KPI of the application service.

Based on this, the network device can obtain the KPI of different application services. In this embodiment, the network device can obtain the KPI corresponding to each application service by using the application service as the statistical granularity, and the KPI can reflect The network performance requirements required for the application service, and the network device can optimize the wireless network according to the KPI of different application services, so that the optimized wireless network can meet the requirements of different application services.

In this implementation manner, the UE may notify the base station by using an RRC air interface message, where the RRC air interface message may include: an RRC connection request message, an RRC connection setup complete message, and an RRC connection reconfiguration complete message ( RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete), RRC Connection Reestablishment Request (RRC Connection Reestablishment Request), and RRC Connection Reestablishment Complete (RRC Connection Reestablishment Complete).

Optionally, the base station may further receive a medium access control (MAC) message sent by the UE, where the MAC message carries the UE Group ID of the UE. For example, a MAC Control Element may be newly defined to notify the corresponding UE group ID of the RAN side, and the MAC control element may include a header identifier + UE Group ID.

The second implementation manner: the base station can obtain the UE Group ID of the user equipment from the MME.

In this implementation manner, the MME may notify the UE Group ID of the base station UE by sending a first message to the base station and carrying the UE Group ID in the first message. The first message may include: an initial context setup request message, a UE context modification request message (UE Context Mondification Request), an evolved radio access bearer E-RAB setup request message (E-RAB Setup Request), E-RAB Modify Request (E-RAB Modify Request).

Optionally, the UE Group ID may also be extended in some existing ID fields, for example, an extended initial context setup request SPID or an extended ARP field of the evolved radio access bearer setup request or an extended evolved radio access bearer setup request. In the QCI field, the initial context establishment request is used as an example. The value of the SPID is [0, 255]. The core network side can preset the relationship between the SPID value and the UE group ID (that is, one value corresponds to one UE Group ID). And sending the corresponding relationship to the base station or the base station also predetermines the relationship between the SPID value and the UE Group ID. The MME sends an initial context setup request to the base station, and the base station can obtain the SPID according to the request. The value is the UE Group ID of the current UE. The value of the SPID is not limited in any way. For example, the value of the SPID may also be [256, 512]. It can be understood that different SPID values correspond to different UE Group IDs.

Optionally, when a UE has multiple UE group IDs, the core network side may notify the relationship between the E-RAB (E-UTRAN Radio access bearer) and the UE Group ID of the access network side in advance (ie, an E - The RAB corresponds to a UE Group ID), and then the MME can carry different E-RABs in the E-RAB setup request message, and the base station can determine different UE group IDs according to the different E-RABs.

Optionally, when the base station sends a request message requesting the MME to notify the UE group ID of the corresponding UE, the MME notifies the UE group ID of the corresponding UE.

The third implementation manner is: the base station receives the user equipment identifier UE ID sent by the user equipment, and then the base station determines the UE Group ID of the user equipment according to the UE ID and the preset second mapping relationship. The UE ID includes a SAE-Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (S-TMSI) or an MME Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (M-TMSI); the second mapping relationship includes different Correspondence between the UE ID and the UE Group ID.

Specifically, in this implementation manner, the network element management unit may configure a second mapping relationship to the base station in advance, that is, configure a correspondence between different UE IDs and UE Group IDs (one UE ID corresponds to one UE Group ID), The UE ID includes S-TMSI or M-TMSI. In this way, after the network device acquires the UE ID of the UE, the network device can determine the UE Group ID of the UE according to the UE ID and the second mapping relationship.

The method for obtaining the service KPI provided by the embodiment of the present application, the network device obtains the UE group ID of the UE, and further knows which user equipment group the UE belongs to, because the UEs with the same application service belong to the same user equipment group, the network device can The KPI of the application service corresponding to the user equipment group is counted according to the user equipment group, which improves the statistical efficiency of the KPI of the statistical application service.

FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart diagram of a method for acquiring a service KPI according to an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment relates to a specific process of the network device collecting the KPI of the application service when the network device is the network element management unit. Based on the above FIG. 2 and possible embodiments of the present application, the method may include the following steps:

S401: The network element management unit acquires a UE Group ID of the user equipment.

Specifically, the network element management unit can obtain the UE group ID of the UE by using the following two implementation manners, specifically:

The first implementation manner is: the network element management unit receives the UE Group ID of the user equipment that is sent by the user equipment by using the base station.

In this implementation manner, when the network element management unit needs to collect the KPI of the application service, the UE may send the UE Group ID to the base station by using an RRC message, and the base station may obtain the UE Group ID of the UE after parsing the RRC message, and then the base station may pass the south direction. The interface sends the UE Group ID to the network element management unit.

The second implementation manner is: the network element management unit receives the UE Group ID of the user equipment sent by the MME.

In this implementation manner, the network element management unit may receive the UE Group ID of the UE directly sent by the MME, or the MME may send the UE Group ID of the UE to the base station, and the base station sends the information to the network element management unit.

S402: The network element management unit determines, according to the UE group ID of the user equipment and the preset first mapping relationship, a KPI type corresponding to the application service, where the first mapping relationship includes different UE Group IDs and KPI types. Correspondence.

Specifically, after the network element management unit obtains the UE group ID of the UE, the network element management unit may learn the type of the application service corresponding to the UE group ID according to the UE group ID, that is, the user equipment group to which the UE belongs is known. The application service, the network element management unit may determine the KPI type corresponding to the UE Group ID by using a preset first mapping relationship (the first mapping relationship may be that the network management unit of the operator notifies the network element management unit in advance). Thereby knowing the user to which the UE belongs The KPI of the application service corresponding to the device group should be counted. Optionally, one UE Group ID can correspond to one KPI type, and can also correspond to multiple KPI types.

S403: The network element management unit sends the type of the communication information to be reported to the base station according to the type of the KPI; the communication information is parameter information used to indicate the current communication status of the user equipment.

Specifically, after the network element management unit obtains the KPI type that the application service corresponding to the UE group ID should be counted according to the UE group ID of the UE, the network element management unit may send the type of the communication information to be reported to the base station in combination with the KPI type. That is, the network element management unit notifies the base station which communication information should be reported to the network element management unit. Therefore, after receiving the type of the communication information, the base station reports the corresponding communication information to the network element management unit according to the type of the communication information. Optionally, the communication information may be information about which UE dropped the call, the delay of a certain UE, and the like.

S404: The network element management unit reports the communication information according to the type of the communication information by the base station.

S405: The network element management unit acquires a KPI of the application service according to the communication information and the UE Group ID.

Specifically, after receiving the communication information reported by the base station, the network element management unit may acquire the first KPI of the application service of each UE in the user equipment group corresponding to the UE group ID, and obtain the KPI of the application service. .

The method for obtaining the service KPI provided by the embodiment of the present application, the network element management unit obtains the UE group ID of the UE, and further knows which user equipment group the UE belongs to, because the UEs with the same application service belong to the same user equipment group, so the network The meta-management unit can calculate the KPI of the application service corresponding to the user equipment group according to the user equipment group, and improve the statistical efficiency of the KPI of the statistical application service.

Optionally, in another implementation manner of the present application, the RAN side may configure different radio parameters for different UE Group IDs in advance, that is, the base station may establish a correspondence between different UE Group IDs and wireless parameters. A relationship can be referred to as a third mapping relationship). For example, the wireless parameter includes at least one of a scheduling priority of the user equipment group and a maximum number of radio resources that the user equipment group can use, and a measurement period of the UE in the user equipment group. For example, in the third mapping relationship established by the base station, the maximum number of available radio resource blocks (RBs) for all UEs with the UE Group ID ID_1 is 10%, and the maximum number of available RBs for all UEs of the ID_2 is 20%, etc., when a certain scheduling When the number of RBs used by the UE corresponding to the UE Group ID in the Time Interval (TTI) reaches the maximum available RB target, the number of users in the UE Group ID is no longer scheduled or the new one in the UE Group ID is no longer accepted. user. For example, it is assumed that the base station configures different scheduling priorities for different UE Group IDs. When a TTI needs to schedule users with different UE Group IDs, the high priority UE Group IDs may be preferentially scheduled according to the third mapping relationship. UE in. For example, because the service characteristics of the different tenants are different, the service characteristics may include any one or more of the mobile characteristics, the power consumption characteristics, and the packet sending frequency of the user equipment, for example, the terminal mobility of some tenants is compared. If the terminal locations of some tenants are relatively fixed, the base station can configure different mobility measurement periods for the UEs according to the UE Group ID and service characteristics. In this way, after the base station obtains the UE group ID of the UE, the base station can determine the radio parameter corresponding to the UE group ID according to the third mapping relationship, and then schedule the user equipment group according to the radio parameter corresponding to the user equipment group. User equipment.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a method for acquiring a service KPI according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment relates to a specific process of the network device adjusting the wireless parameter corresponding to the user equipment group to which the application service belongs according to the obtained KPI of the application service, and then rescheduling the user equipment in the user equipment group according to the adjusted wireless parameter. . Based on the foregoing embodiment, further, the method may include:

S501: The network device adjusts the wireless parameter corresponding to the user equipment group according to the KPI of the application service, and obtains the updated wireless parameter.

It should be noted that the KPI of the application service involved in this embodiment may be obtained by using the KPI acquisition method in the foregoing embodiment or the foregoing possible implementation manner. Therefore, the KPI acquisition of the application service is not detailed herein. process.

Specifically, the network parameters that are configured by the network device according to the historical data for different UE group IDs may be inaccurate. In this embodiment, after obtaining the KPIs of different application services, the network device may adjust the KPI according to the KPI of the application service. The wireless parameter corresponding to the user equipment group to which the application service belongs, for example, assuming that the network device pre-configures the maximum number of RBs used for the user equipment group with the UE group ID ID1 as 20%, but obtains the application service corresponding to the user equipment group. After the KPI, the network device learns that the KPI of the application service does not reach the ideal target. Therefore, the network device can increase the maximum number of RB usage of the user equipment group with the UE Group ID of ID1.

S502: The network device schedules the user equipment in the user equipment group according to the updated wireless parameter.

The method for obtaining the service KPI provided by the embodiment of the present application, the network device may adjust the wireless parameter corresponding to the user equipment group to which the application service belongs by using the KPI of the obtained application service, and then reschedule the user equipment group according to the updated wireless parameter. User equipment, which improves the accuracy of the scheduling.

Optionally, the service requirements of different application services are different, for example, the delay requirements of the meter reading service and the call service are different. Therefore, the service granularity corresponding to the service requirements of different application services is different, for example, some UEs. The application service corresponding to the group ID needs to meet the corresponding service requirements of each UE. Certain application services (that is, certain UE Group IDs) only need the service average of the corresponding service area to meet the corresponding service requirements. In this way, the network element management unit or the RAN side performs radio parameter adjustment according to the security granularity. For example, the real-time requirements of the KPI statistics of different application services are also different. For example, the application service needs to count KPI every 1 ms, and some application services need 15 min. Count the KPI once. Therefore, when the network element management unit calculates the KPI of the application service, the network management unit may notify the service security strength corresponding to the different UE Group IDs of the network element management unit and the KPI real-time requirements corresponding to different UE Group IDs. Therefore, when the network element management unit calculates the KPI of the application service, the wireless parameter can be adjusted according to the guard granularity; optionally, when the base station counts the KPI of the application service, the network element management unit can also use different UE groups. The service security of the ID and the KPI real-time requirements of the different UE Group IDs are notified to the base station, so that the base station can adjust the wireless parameters according to the guaranteed granularity when the KPI of the application service is counted.

Optionally, the network device may further send, according to the UE Group ID of the user equipment, a system message corresponding to the UE Group ID of the user equipment. For example, the UE may send an acquisition request to the base station to request system information, and then the base station sends the system information corresponding to the UE Group ID to the UE according to the UE group ID of the UE. The system information received by all the UEs in the ID is the same. The system messages corresponding to different UE Group IDs are different. For example, UEs with different UE Group IDs have different TAC (tracking area code) parameters. Paging area. Of course, the base station can directly send parameters corresponding to different UE Group IDs, such as Tracking Area Code (TAC) parameters, in the broadcast message.
