本公开中出现的“网络”与“系统”表达的是同一概念,通信系统即为通信网络。
本公开提供的MDT测量方法可以适用的应用场景为:通过UE对分布于室内的预设类型网络设备如蓝牙设备、WLAN设备进行MDT测量,并将上述预设类型网络设备的MDT测量信息如位置信息、信号强度、测量时间等上报给基站,以便基站可以根据其覆盖区域内各个预设类型网络设备的MDT测量信息准确分析当前区域的网络状况,进行网络优化。
基于上述应用场景,本公开提供了一种MDT测量方法,应用于基站中。参照图1根据一示例性实施例示出的一种MDT测量方法的流程图,所述方法可以包括以下步骤:
在步骤11中,获取针对预设类型网络设备的最小化路测MDT测量配置信息,所述MDT测量配置信息至少包括:预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值;
本公开中,基站确定的、针对预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息用于指示其覆盖区域内的UE在什么条件下对预设类型网络设备进行MDT测量并上报,还可以指示UE在进行MDT测量时对哪些参数进行测量。
本公开实施例中,上述预设类型网络设备可以包括:蓝牙设备和/或WLAN设备。
在本公开一实施例中,上述预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息可以包括:预设网络设备的设备类型与信号强度阈值之间的对应关系。示例性的,如表一所示:
设备类型 信号强度阈值
蓝牙设备 第一RSSI阈值
WLAN设备 第二RSSI阈值
表一
上述表一中,可以采用RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication接收信号强度指示)阈值表示一种预设类型网络设备的测量强度阈值。例如,蓝牙设备对应的第一RSSI阈值可以设置为:-90dbm。
本公开中,基站可以采用以下至少两种方式获取针对预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息:
第一种方式,基站可以自身确定针对预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息。例如,基站可以根据相关技术人员基于经验信息人工设置的参数值,确定预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息;也可以基于历史数据采用人工智能方式,智能分析获得上述针对预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息。
第二种方式,基站可以根据从核心网或源基站接收到的初始MDT测量配置信息,确定针对预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息。
其中,上述初始MDT测量配置信息是由核心网或源基站确定,之后发送给基站。该初始MDT测量配置信息至少包括:预设类型网络设备 的信号强度阈值。
在本公开一实施例中,基站可以将接收到的初始MDT测量配置信息,直接确定为上述针对预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息。
在本公开另一实施例中,基站还可以结合自身需求、基于上述初始MDT测量配置信息进行调整,确定预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息。
参见图2根据一示例性实施例示出的另一种MDT测量方法的流程图,上述步骤11可以包括:
在步骤111中,接收核心网或源基站发送的初始MDT测量配置信息,所述初始MDT测量配置信息包括:所述预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值;
上述初始MDT测量配置信息可以适用于全网基站。
在步骤112中,根据所述预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值和预设MDT测量参数,生成所述MDT测量配置信息。
其中,上述预设MDT测量参数可以依据不同的网络测量需求而定,例如,若基站想要知道覆盖区域内预设类型网络设备的分布情况,则上述预设MDT测量参数可以是位置。
在另一实施例中,基站还可以根据覆盖区域内预设类型网络设备的已知信息确定预设MDT测量参数,并在上述初始MDT测量配置信息的基础上,进一步确定针对自身覆盖区域的MDT测量配置信息。
示例性的,以上述预设类型网络设备为WLAN AP为例,假设基站A欲知覆盖区域内一个或多个指定WLAN AP的网络性能情况,基站A可以将上述指定WLAN AP的身份标识如SSID(Service Set Identifier,服务集标识)作为一种测量参数,设置于上述MDT测量配置信息中,下发给UE。
相应的,UE在针对WLAN AP进行MDT测量时,首先确定在预设类型网络设备的接收信号强度大于或等于上述测量强度阈值时进行测量, 获得初始测量信息,该初始测量信息包括各预设类型网络设备的SSID与MDT测量信息的对应关系。之后,UE可以只将符合上述SSID条件的、WLAN AP的MDT测量信息发送给基站,从而减少UE的MDT测量及上报,减少UE功耗,并节约UE上报MDT测量信息的信令开销。
在步骤12中,向用户设备下发所述MDT测量配置信息,以使所述用户设备在检测到所述预设类型网络设备的信号强度超过所述信号强度阈值时进行MDT测量;
本公开实施例中,基站可以通过上层RRC(Radio Resource Control,无线资源控制)信令,例如MeasConfig RRC信令,向UE发送上述针对预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息。
在本公开另一实施例中,基站也可以将上述MDT测量配置信息载入广播信令或物理层的PDCCH(Physical Downlink Control Channel,物理下行控制信道)信令中,下发给UE。
本公开中,上述步骤12的实施方式至少可以包括两种:
方式一,基站在确定上述MDT测量配置信息后,直接下发给UE。
方式二,基站在向UE下发MDT测量配置信息之前,可以首先获取UE当前检测到的预设网络设备的设备类型。
参见图3根据一示例性实施例示出的另一种MDT测量的方法流程图,上述步骤12可以包括:
在步骤121中,确定所述用户设备检测到的目标网络设备类型;
其中,上述目标网络设备类型属于上述预设类型网络设备的一种或多种类型。
在步骤122中,根据所述目标网络设备类型和所述MDT测量配置信息,确定目标MDT测量配置信息;
本公开实施例中,若上述预设类型网络设备包括两种或多种类型的网络设备,例如,包括:蓝牙设备和WLAN设备,则上述步骤11确定的、针对预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息包括:针对蓝牙设备的MDT 测量配置信息,可以称为第一配置信息;以及,针对WLAN设备的MDT测量配置信息,可以称为第二配置信息。
示例性的,以UE是手机M为例,若手机M当前检测到的目标网络设备均属于蓝牙设备,则基站可以将上述第一配置信息确定为目标MDT测量配置信息,下发给手机M进行MDT测量配置。
在步骤123中,向所述用户设备发送所述目标MDT测量配置信息。
如上示例,基站可以仅将上述第一配置信息载入预设信令,发送给手机M,而不必将上述第一配置信息和第二配置信息均通过预设信令发送给手机M,可以避免浪费系统资源,节约信令开销。
可知,本公开中,若基站采用单播方式向各个UE下发上述MDT测量配置信息,在发送MDT测量配置信息之前,基站可以首先获取当前UE检测到的目标网络设备类型,以便根据上述目标网络设备类型去除对于当前UE无效的配置信息,减少MDT测量配置信息的数据量,避免因发送冗余信息而浪费系统资源,节约信令开销。
在步骤13中,接收所述用户设备发送的、所述预设类型网络设备的MDT测量信息。
基站将上述针对预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息发送给UE之后,UE进行相关配置并基于上述MDT测量配置信息,在满足MDT测量条件时对预设类型网络设备进行MDT测量,之后将获得的MDT测量信息上报给基站。其中,上述MDT测量条件为:检测到的预设类型网络设备的信号强度不小于上述预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值。
本公开实施例中,上述预设类型网络设备的MDT测量信息可以包括以下至少一项:位置信息、RSSI信号强度、测量时间、设备标识。
在一实施例中,若基站中预置有各个预设类型网络设备的位置信息与设备标识的对应关系,则UE上报给基站的MDT测量信息中可以仅包括目标网络设备的设备标识,而不包括目标网络设备的详细位置信息。基站在获取到上述目标网络设备的设备标识之后,可以根据上述预置信息确定 目标网络设备的位置信息,从而可以进一步节约信令开销。
相应的,本公开还提供了一种应用于UE中的MDT测量方法,参见图4根据一示例性实施例示出的一种MDT测量的方法流程图,所述方法可以包括以下步骤:
在步骤21中,接收基站发送的最小化路测MDT测量配置信息并进行MDT测量配置,所述MDT测量配置信息至少包括:预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值;
对应上述步骤12,当UE处于连接态时,可以接收基站下发的MDT测量配置信息。该MDT测量配置信息用于指示UE在何种情况下获取并上报预设类型网络设备的MDT测量信息。
本公开中,上述MDT测量配置信息至少包括:预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值。其中,上述预设类型网络设备包括以下至少一项:蓝牙设备、WLAN设备。
在步骤22中,检测目标网络设备的信号强度;
UE在完成对预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置之后,可以基于上述MDT测量配置信息,对检测到的目标网络设备进行信号强度测量,如实时获取目标网络设备的RSSI信息。其中,上述目标网络设备为UE检测到的、与上述预设类型网络设备类型相同的设备。
在步骤23中,若所述信号强度超过所述预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值,获取所述目标网络设备的MDT测量信息;
本公开中,UE将检测到的目标网络设备的信号强度与上述预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值进行比较,若上述目标网络设备的信号强度大于或等于上述预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值,对目标网络设备进行MDT测量,获得该目标网络设备的MDT测量信息并执行下述步骤24。
反之,若上述目标网络设备的信号强度小于上述预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值,不进行MDT测量,避免UE过于频繁地对目标网络设备进行MDT测量而浪费电能,同时也可以避免UE过于频繁地向基站上报 MDT测量信息导致资源浪费。
其中,上述MDT测量信息可以包括:位置信息、信号强度、测量时间、设备标识等信息。
在步骤24中,将所述目标网络设备的MDT测量信息发送给所述基站。
本公开中,该步骤24的实施可以包括以下两种情况:
第一种情况,UE在连接态时,对上述目标网络设备进行MDT测量,并在测量完成后将获得的MDT测量信息上报基站,提高MDT测量的时效性。
第二种情况,UE可以在IDLE空闲态时,对上述目标网络设备进行MDT测量,并对获得的MDT测量信息进行存储。当UE与基站间处于连接态后,再将存储于本地的MDT测量信息发送给基站。此种情况下,可以减少MDT测量及上报对其它正常通信业务的干扰。
对应上述第二种情况,参见图5根据一示例性实施例示出的另一种MDT测量方法的流程图,在上述步骤24之后,所述方法还可以包括:
在步骤25中,删除所述目标网络设备的MDT测量信息。
本公开实施例中,UE在将目标网络设备的MDT测量信息发送基站之后,可以自动删除上述MDT测量信息,释放所占用的存储资源,避免随着时间积累的大量MDT测量信息占用UE过多的存储资源、导致UE可用存储资源不足,提升UE的用户体验。
参见图6根据一示例性实施例示出的另一种MDT测量方法的流程图,在上述步骤21之前,所述方法还可以包括:
在步骤20中,向所述基站上报当前检测到的目标网络设备类型;
与上述步骤121相对应,本公开实施例中,UE在接收到基站发送的、MDT测量配置信息之前,可以按照基站要求或者主动上报当前检测到的目标网络设备类型,以便基站可以根据上述目标网络设备类型选择性地下发MDT测量配置信息,减少信令开销。其中,上述目标网络设备类型属于上 述预设类型网络设备的一种或多种类型。
综上,采用本公开提供的MDT测量方法,UE可以根据基站下发的针对预设类型网络设备的MDT测量配置信息,在检测到目标网络设备的信号强度超过预设信号强度阈值时,对该目标网络设备进行MDT测量并将测量信息上报给基站,有效避免了UE因频繁进行MDT测量和上报导致浪费功耗和系统资源,实现对预设类型网络设备进行有效测量的同时,可以减少功耗和信令开销,提升UE在MDT室内场景应用中的用户体验。
下面结合具体场景对本公开提供的MDT测量方法进行说明,该方法涉及的执行主体包括:基站、用户设备、与上述UE近距离通信的预设类型网络设备,还可以包括:核心网或源基站。它们之间各自独立又相互配合共同实现本方案。具体过程如下:
核心网或源基站向上述基站发送初始MDT测量配置信息,该初始MDT测量配置信息用于指示UE在何种条件下对检测到的、特定类型的网络设备进行MDT测量,其中,该初始MDT测量配置信息至少包括:预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值,比如,蓝牙设备的信号强度阈值、WLAN设备的信号强度阈值。
基站接收到初始MDT测量配置信息后,可以通过预设信令直接下发给覆盖区域内的UE。在本公开另一实施例中,基站还可以在上述初始MDT测量配置信息的基础上,结合自身的网络测量需求,调整MDT测量配置信息,将调整后的MDT测量配置信息下发给UE。
在本公开另一实施例中,基站在向当前UE下发MDT测量配置信息之前,还可以接收当前UE上报的目标网络设备类型,即UE当前检测到、目标网络设备的类型,若上述目标网络设备属于上述预设类型网络设备中的部分类型设备,则,基站可以选择性地向当前UE下发、适用于上述目标网络设备的目标MDT测量配置信息,避免向当前UE下发冗余配置信息,从而节约信令开销。
UE接收到基站下发的MDT测量配置信息后进行MDT配置和测量。 具体测量过程如下:实时检测目标网络设备的信号强度,并基于上述MDT测量配置信息,将检测到的、目标网络设备的信号强度与预设信号强度阈值进行比较;若上述目标网络设备的信号强度超过即不小于上述预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值,则对目标网络设备进行MDT测量。即根据上述MDT测量配置信息中的预设测量参数进行测量,获得目标网络设备的MDT测量信息,例如位置信息、信号强度、测量时间等信息,并将上述MDT测量信息上报给基站,以便基站根据各UE上报的MDT测量信息确定区域内预设类型网络设备的分布情况或者优化网络性能等。反之,若目标网络设备的信号强度小于上述预设类型网络设备的信号强度阈值,则UE不对目标网络设备进行MDT测量,避免浪费功耗以及信令开销。
