Description

网络质量探测方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,具体而言,涉及一种网络质量探测方法及装置。
背景技术
在通信领域中,整个长期演进(Long-Term Evolution,简称为LTE)系统由演进型分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core,简称为EPC)、演进型节点B(evolve Node B,简称为eNodeB)以及用户设备(User Equipment,简称为UE)三部分组成。EPC负责核心网部分,其中,EPC信令处理部分称为移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,简称为MME),数据处理部分称为服务网关(Serving Gateway,简称为S-GW)。eNodeB负责接入网部分,其中,接入网也称演进型通用陆地无线接入网(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,简称为E-UTRAN),UE也指用户终端设备。
如图1a所示,eNodeB与MME通过S1接口连接;eNodeB与eNodeB之间通过X2接口连接;eNodeB与UE之间通过Uu接口连接。eNB(对应上述eNodeB)的功能包括:无线资源管理(Radio Resource Management,简称为RRM)功能,因特网协议(Internet Protocol,简称为IP)头压缩功能及用户数据流加密功能,UE附着时的MME选择功能,寻呼信息的调度传输功能,广播信息的调度传输功能,以及设置和提供eNB的测量等功能。MME的功能包括:寻呼消息发送功能,安全控制功能,Idle态的移动性管理功能,系统架构演进(System Architecture Evolution,简称为SAE)承载管理功能,以及非接入层(Non-Access Stratum,NAS)信令的加密及完整性保护等功能。S-GW的功能包括:数据的路由和传输功能,以及用户面数据的加密功能。
运营商在衡量整体无线网络质量时会使用关键性能指标(Key Performance Indicator,简称为KPI)进行衡量,基站将关键性能指标的信 息上报给基站的网管系统,基站的网管系统再将这些信息进行汇总处理。上述信息的采集由各个基站独立完成。采用上述方式仅仅可以衡量UE到基站这一段的性能及质量,而且进行网络质量的测量比较被动,需等待用户做些业务才能触发信息的上报。如果用户终端出了问题,特别是上网速率慢这种常见的吞吐量问题,就需要安排技术人员到现场去测试,甚至要获取准确的用户终端位置进行测试。因此,相关技术中进行网络质量测量的方法存在以下技术问题:无法衡量核心网到终端,即整体的端到端的网络性能的质量(相关技术手段只能对无线侧的性能质量进行统计);无法及时主动的发现网络问题(当前相关技术中只能等待网络出现问题后再进行故障定位,无法主动进行端到端的网络质量排查);在某些特定流量问题的处理上要花费大量的资源去现场进行定位。此外,当前的网络环境中,存在某些探测无线质量的方法,例如最小路测(Minimization of Drive Tests,简称为MDT)功能可以判断空口侧的网络质量,但无法确认eNodeB侧与MME侧的网络质量,即无法感知端到端的网络质量。传统的网络优化手段,主要依靠路测软件或者人工手动测试的方法,这些方法存在成本高、覆盖面积不大的问题。
针对上述技术问题,相关技术中并未提出有效的解决方案。

通过上述步骤,可以由核心网设备主动的触发执行网络质量探测,以及核心网设备可以根据用户设备UE发送的上行数据发送参数和服务网关S-GW发送的上行数据接收参数,进行上行网络质量的探测,或者,核心网设备根据UE发送的下行数据接收参数和S-GW发送的下行数据发送参数,进行下行网络质量的探测,进而实现对整体网络性能的测量,因此,可以解决相关技术中核心网设备不能主动发现网络质量问题以及不能进行整体网络性能探测的问题,达到核心网设备可以主动发现网络质量以及对整体网络性能进行探测的效果。
在一个可选的实施例中,上述方法可以包括以下至少之一:触发上述 UE向S-GW发送上行数据包括:向上述UE发送第一指令,其中,第一指令用于指示UE进行网络质量探测流程;触发上述S-GW向UE发送下行数据包括:向上述S-GW发送第二指令,其中,上述第二指令用于指示S-GW准备网络质量探测流程。在本实施例中,上述UE在收到网络侧发送的网络质量探测开始的命令后向S-GW发送大包上行业务(对应上述上行数据),当上行业务结束之后,S-GW向上述UE发送下行业务(对应上述下行数据),也可以先进行下行业务的发送,然后进行上行业务的发送,相应的,核心网设备可以先进行下行业务的网络质量的探测,然后进行下行业务的网络质量的探测。核心网设备可以同时执行上行业务的网络质量探测和下行业务的网络质量探测,也可以单独进行上行业务的网络质量的测量或者单独进行下行业务的网络质量的测量。还可以根据核心网设备的负荷情况已经实际的需要,选择性的只进行上行数据业务的网络质量的探测或者下行数据业务的网络质量的探测。

下面结合具体实施例对本发明进行说明:
具体实施例1:
下面核心网设备以移动性管理实体MME为例进行说明:
根据MME下发端到端网络探测请求的方式的不同,共有两种不同的实时流程,一个是通过NAS消息通知UE,另一个则是使用S1消息先通知eNodeB,eNodeB再将端到端网络探测请求发给UE,具体步骤如下:
步骤一:终端(对应于上述的用户设备UE)选择。根据算法选择相应的UE进行测量。
根据MME的商用用户QoS参数的分布占比情况、QoS参数的优先级,在与MME建立S1AP链路的eNodeB中选择相关的UE进行网络质量探测,并且根据不同UE的信息,确定网络探测任务的上行流量包大小、持续时间信息。
图5为本发明具体实施例中的终端选择算法的流程图,如图5所示,MME根据UE的QoS占比以及优先级、ENodeB负荷情况,通过手动配置或者自动选择的方式,选择需要的UE进行网络质量探测。
此外,终端选择即可使用固定的文件配置或网管配置,也可以使用自动选择方式,或者使用二者相结合的方式进行终端选择。
(1)人工配置。通过配置文件或者后台界面配置N个用户的IMSI、检测总次数NCheck、上行和下行目标速率、检测时长。
(2)初级自动选择。此种方式不考虑基站负载,设置检测总次数NCheck、单次检测基站个数M、每个基站检测用户比例K%、上行目标速率、下行目标速率、检测时长。然后随机地在每个基站中选择相应比例的UE进行网络质量探测。
(3)高级自动选择。设置检测总次数NCheck、单次检测基站个数M、每个基站检测用户比例K%、上行目标速率、下行目标速率、检测时间,每种Qos用户比例J0...Ji;根据用户QoS的分布占比情况正比选择网络探测UE,当某一类QoS用户数多,那么该QoS类的网络探测UE也会增加,尽可能精准探测网络中的大部分用户的网络质量。
同时考虑核心网和基站负载和用户Qos分布,当MME/S-GW过载则不能启动该功能,eNodeB过载不能选择该eNodeB下的UE进行网络质量检测。eNB用户数和用户Qos的计算公式如下:
eNB用户数=(eNB最大容量用户数-当前用户数)*K%
Qos(0)=eNB用户数*J0%
Qos(1)=eNB用户数*J1%
步骤二:流程通知。MME通知UE以及S-GW下发网络探测任务。具体过程可以分为3个阶段。
(1)MME通知UE进行网络质量探测准备阶段。MME下发给UE的网络质量探测任务请求,请求消息中包含了UE上下行业务流量的大小、上下行业务的持续时间信息。此条消息即可以通过S1消息传递给ENodeB,也可以通过NAS消息传递给UE。UE收到网络质量探测任务请求后,如果UE此时并没有在做上下行的数据业务(对应上述上行数据及下行数据),UE可以执行网络质量探测工作。UE将在端到端探测任务响应消息(对应上述第一响应)中回复MME,指示UE是否可以进行网络质量探测工作。消息结构中只包含了成功/失败的标志位。响应消息可以使用NAS消息传递给MME,也可以先传递给eNodeB,然后间接传递给MME。
(2)如果UE具备执行网络质量探测的条件,那么MME将会通知S-GW做好网络质量探测的准备工作,该消息(对应上述第一指令)包含网络质量探测任务的上下行业务流量大小、上下行业务的持续时间信息。S-GW将在网络质量探测响应消息中,回复MME是否准备成功。如果可以执行网络质量探测,那么消息中包含一个定时器长度L,S-GW将在起一个L长度的定时器,超时之后开始统计上行流量数据。
(3)如果UE以及S-GW侧都可以执行网络质量探测,那么MME将会给UE发送端到端网络质量探测开始命令(对应上述第三指令),该消息中包含一个定时器长度,考虑到空口传输,长度设置为L+Ns,目的在于让S-GW先开始统计上行数据,UE后执行上下行业务,保证数据统 计不会比实际流量少。此条消息即可以通过S1消息传递给eNodeB,也可以通过NAS消息传递给UE。
步骤三:探测执行。UE和S-GW开始执行上行业务,并在任务结束后反馈结果,具体包括以下步骤:
(1)UE根据消息5的定时器长度起一个定时器,超时之后开始执行上下行业务,业务的大小以及持续时间MME通知。
(2)当上下行业务结束后,UE和S-GW将分别反馈上下行业务结果。
UE反馈的消息中包含上下行业务期间,UE的平均RSRP、RSRQ、SINR信息。S-GW反馈的消息中包含实际的上下行总流量、平均流量大小。可以根据实际需要,单独测试上行业务或者下行业务。
步骤四:数据分析。具体包括以下步骤:
(1)结合UE以及S-GW的反馈信息,可以分析出单次UE探测的结果是否存在问题,并且如果存在问题,可以判断出UE执行网络质量探测时的空口质量情况。
(2)结合多个UE的网络质量探测结果,可以分析出eNodeB是否存在网络问题。
图6为本发明具体实施例中的网络质量评估算法的流程图,如图6所示,根据UE的无线信号质量、UE的时延情况、UE实际速率与目标速率的差值评估网络质量情况。
评估方式是根据根绝平均时延,平均速率是否达标,同时评估时要考虑到UE的无线质量情况。将评估结果分为4个等级1)严重不达标2)中度不达标3)需要优化4)合格。
图7为本发明具体实施例中的时延标准的示意图,如图7所示,可根据3GPP协议规定的Qos时延值制定标准。
目标速率标准:可以根据运营商其他网络的大数据统计,得到各个QCI对应的目标速率。也可以依据运营商对网络的期待值,自行制定目标 速率标准。
如图6所示,UE无线信号质量情况标准:根据UE上报RSRP或者RSRQ值,判断UE当前SINR值,将UE的无线质量情况分为3种情况,1)UE无线信号质量好2)UE无线信号质量一般3)UE无线信号质量差。如果UE无线信号质量差,那么综合的网络质量评估标准将适度降低。
综合网络质量评估标准:根据UE的无线质量情况,分配相应的偏移比率值,比如UE无线质量信号好,那么偏移比率为0;UE无线信号质量一般,偏移比率为K;UE无线信号质量差,那么偏移比率再增加J。
下列场景判定网络质量严重不达标:
(1)时延超过各Qos要求;
(2)UE无线信号质量好,实际速率为目标速率值的0%~X%;
(3)UE无线信号质量一般,实际速率为目标速率值的0%~(X-K)%;
(4)UE无线信号质量差,实际速率为目标速率值的0~(X-K-J)%。
下列场景判定网络质量中度不达标:
(1)UE无线信号质量好,时延达标,实际速率为目标速率值的X%~Y%;
(2)UE无线信号质量一般,时延达标,实际速率为目标速率值的(X-K)%~(Y-K)%;
(3)UE无线信号质量差,时延达标,实际速率为目标速率值的(X-K-J)~(Y-K-J)%。
下列场景判定网络质量需要优化:
(1)UE无线信号质量好,时延达标,实际速率为目标速率值的Y%~Z%;
(2)UE无线信号质量一般,时延达标,实际速率为目标速率值的(Y-K)%~(Z-K)%;
(3)UE无线信号质量差,时延达标,实际速率为目标速率值的(Y-K-J)~(Z-K-J)%。
下列场景判定网络质量达标:
(1)UE无线信号质量好,时延达标,实际速率大于目标速率值的Z%;
(2)UE无线信号质量一般,时延达标,实际速率大于目标速率值的(Z-K)%;
(3)UE无线信号质量差,时延达标,实际速率大于目标速率值的(Z-K-J)%。
具体实施例2
图8是本发明具体实施例中MME通过NAS消息通知UE进行网络质量探测的流程图,如图8所示,包括以下步骤:
步骤一:终端选择:
根据算法选择相应的UE进行测量。根据MME的商用用户QoS参数的分布占比情况、QoS参数的优先级,在与MME建立S1AP链路的eNodeB中选择相关的UE进行网络质量探测,并且根据不同UE的信息,决定网络探测任务的上行流量包大小、持续时间信息。终端选择即可使用固定的文件配置或网管配置,也可以使用自动选择方式,或者使用二者相结合的方式进行终端选择。在本具体实施例中,设置检测总次数NCheck、单次检测基站个数M、每个基站检测用户比例为K%、上行目标速率、下行目标速率、检测时间,每种Qos用户比例J0...Ji;根据用户QoS的分布占比情况正比选择网络探测UE,当某一类QoS用户数多,那么该QoS类的网络探测UE也会增加,尽可能精准探测网络中的大部分用户的网络质量。同时考虑核心网和基站负载和用户Qos分布,当MME/S-GW过载的话不能启动该功能,eNodeB过载的话不能选择改eNodeB下的UE进行网络质量检测。eNB用户数=(eNB最大容量用户数-当前用户数)*K%;Qos(0)=eNB用户数*J0%;Qos(1)=eNB用户数*J1%。根据算法 选择出相关的UE后,对相关的UE下发探测消息。
步骤二:流程通知。MME通知UE以及S-GW下发网络探测任务。
具体过程可以分为3个阶段。
(1)MME通知UE进行网络质量探测准备阶段。MME下发给UE的网络质量探测任务请求,这条请求为NAS消息,MME将该条消息(对应上述第二指令)包含在DOWNLINK NAS TRANSPORT消息中,再通过eNodeB透传给UE。请求消息中包含了UE上下行业务流量的大小、上下行业务的持续时间信息。UE收到网络质量探测任务请求后,如果UE此时并没有在做上下行的数据业务,那么UE可以执行网络质量探测工作。UE将在端到端探测任务响应消息中回复MME,指示UE是否可以进行网络质量探测工作。消息结构中包含了成功/失败的标志位。
(2)如果UE具备执行网络质量探测的条件,那么MME将会通知S-GW做好网络质量探测的准备工作,该通知中包含网络质量探测任务的上下行业务流量大小、上下行业务的持续时间信息。
S-GW将在网络质量探测响应消息中,回复MME是否准备成功。如果可以执行网络质量探测,那么消息中包含一个定时器长度L,S-GW将在起一个L长度的定时器,超时之后开始统计上下行流量数据。
(3)如果UE以及S-GW侧都可以执行网络质量探测,那么MME将会给UE发送端到端网络质量探测开始命令(对应上述第三指令),该消息中包含一个定时器长度,考虑到空口传输,长度设置为L+Ns,目的在于让S-GW先开始统计上行数据,UE后执行上下行业务,保证数据统计不会比实际流量少。
步骤三:探测执行。UE和S-GW开始执行上行业务,并在任务结束后反馈结果。
(1)UE根据上述定时器长度起一个定时器,超时之后开始执行上行业务,业务的大小以及持续时间由第二指令通知。
(2)当上行业务结束后,UE和S-GW将分别反馈上行业务结果。
UE反馈的消息中包含上行业务期间,UE的平均RSRP、RSRQ、SINR信息。S-GW反馈的消息中包含实际的上行总流量、平均流量大小。
步骤四:数据分析。
(1)结合UE以及S-GW的反馈信息,可以分析出单次UE探测的结果是否存在问题,并且如果存在问题,可以判断出UE执行网络质量探测时的空口质量情况。
(2)结合多个UE的网络质量探测结果,可以分析出eNodeB是否存在网络问题。
评估方式是根据根绝平均时延,平均速率是否达标,同时评估时要考虑到UE的无线质量情况。将评估结果分为4个等级1)严重不达标2)中度不达标3)需要优化4)合格。时延标准:可根据3GPP协议规定的Qos时延值制定标准。目标速率标准:可以根据运营商其他网络的大数据统计,得到各个QCI对应的目标速率。也可以依据运营商对网络的期待值,自行制定目标速率标准。UE无线信号质量情况标准:根据UE上报RSRP或者RSRQ值,判断UE当前SINR值,将UE的无线质量情况分为3种情况,(1)UE无线信号质量好。(2)UE无线信号质量一般。(3)UE无线信号质量差。如果UE无线信号质量差,那么综合的网络质量评估标准将适度降低。
综合网络质量评估标准:根据UE的无线质量情况,分配相应的偏移比率值,比如UE无线质量信号好,那么偏移比率为0;UE无线信号质量一般,偏移比率为5%;UE无线信号质量差,那么偏移比率再增加5%。
下列场景判定网络质量严重不达标:(1)时延超过各Qos要求(2)UE无线信号质量好,实际速率为目标速率值的0%~50%;(3)UE无线信号质量一般,实际速率为目标速率值的0%~45%;(4)UE无线信号质量差,实际速率为目标速率值的0~40%。
下列场景判定网络质量中度不达标:(1)UE无线信号质量好,时延达标,实际速率为目标速率值的50%~70%;(2)UE无线信号质量一般, 时延达标,实际速率为目标速率值的45%~65%;(3)UE无线信号质量差,时延达标,实际速率为目标速率值的40~60%。
下列场景判定网络质量需要优化:(1)UE无线信号质量好,时延达标,实际速率为目标速率值的70%~90%;(2)UE无线信号质量一般,时延达标,实际速率为目标速率值的65%~85%;(3)UE无线信号质量差,时延达标,实际速率为目标速率值的60~80%。
下列场景判定网络质量达标:(1)UE无线信号质量好,时延达标,实际速率大于目标速率值的90%;(2)UE无线信号质量一般,时延达标,实际速率大于目标速率值的85%;(3)UE无线信号质量差,时延达标,实际速率大于目标速率值的80%。
具体实施例3:
图9是MME通过S1消息先通知eNodeB,再通过空口消息通知UE进行网络质量探测的流程图,如图9所示:具体步骤如下:
步骤一:终端选择(UE选择模块);步骤二:流程通知(通知模块);步骤三:探测执行;步骤四:数据分析(评估模块)。
步骤一以及步骤四与具体实施例2相同,区别在于在进行步骤二以及步骤三时,MME不直接通知与UE进行信令交互,而是通过eNodeB来下发相关信令进行交互。
具体实施例4:
与具体实施例2和具体实施例3相比,除了按照高级自动选择方式选择UE执行探测任务外,还可以用人工配置以及初级自动选择的方式进行UE选择,如图5所示,通过以下方式进行配置:
(1)人工配置。通过配置文件或者后台界面配置N个用户的IMSI、检测总次数NCheck、上行和下行目标速率、检测时长。
(2)初级自动选择。此种方式不考虑基站负载,设置检测总次数NCheck、单次检测基站个数M、每个基站检测用户比例K%、上行目标速 率、下行目标速率、检测时长。然后随机地在每个基站中选择相应比例的UE进行网络质量探测。
具体实施例5:
可以改变业务探测手段,除了同时执行上行业务探测以及下行业务探测之外,还可以根据MME负荷情况以及实际需要,选择性地只进行上行探测或者下行探测。
具体实施例6:
网络质量探测任务发起方变化,上述各实施例中,由MME发起网络质量探测任务,进行终端选择以及网络质量评估,在无线技术演进过程中,网络质量探测任务发起者可以是EPC当中的任意网元,终端选择以及质量评估者可以是一个网元,可以使多个网元来执行。
综上所述,通过MME主动发起网络质量探测任务,可以快速地获取端到端的网络质量情况,主动识别网络的某些部分存在容量过多或容量不足的现象,提前检测到业务分布不均匀或用户吞吐量低的问题,利用上述信息可以提前识别网络中存在的问题,从而及时快速进行解决。此外,通过UE与S-GW的交互过程,可以完整地则获取端到端的网络质量,对组网条件进行整体判断。利用UE自发地进行网络质量探测,可以达到节省人力成本、覆盖范围大、样本选择范围全的效果。
