具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(Time Division Duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)通信系统、第五代(5th Generation,5G)系统或新无线(New Radio,NR)、未来的通信系统等。
图1是适用于本申请实施例的移动通信系统的架构示意图。如图1所示,该移动通信系统包括网络管理设备110、多个域管理设备(如图1中的域管理设备120与域管理设备130)和多个网络设备(如图1中的网络设备140和网络设备150)。图1只是示意图,该通信系统中还可以包括其它网络设备,如还可以包括核心网设备,在图1中未画出。本申请的实施例对该移动通信系统中包括的域管理设备和网络设备的数量不做限定
网络管理设备用于管理多个域管理设备,每个域管理设备用于管理与其连接的一个或多个网络设备,与同一个域管理设备连接的网络设备属于同一运营商网络,并且与同一个域管理设备连接的多个网络设备可以属于不同区域。
域管理设备可以是子网络管理设备(SubNetwork Management Function,SNMF),网络切片子网络管理设备(NetworkSlice Subnet Management Function,NSSMF),网元管理设备(Element Manager,EM)、无线管控设备(MBB Automation Engine,MAE)或者实时智能控制设备(Real-time Intelligent Control,RIC)等。
网络管理设备可以是网络切片管理设备(Network Slice Management Function,NSMF),业务编排设备(Service Orchestator,SO),非实时控制设备(Non Real-Time Intelligent,Non-RIC)等。
网络设备可以是无线接入网设备,无线接入网设备是终端设备通过无线方式接入到该移动通信系统中的接入设备,可以是基站(base station)、演进型基站(evolved NodeB,eNodeB)、发送接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、5G移动通信系统中的下一代基站(next generation NodeB,gNB)、未来移动通信系统中的基站或WiFi系统中的接入节点等;也可以是完成基站部分功能的模块或单元,例如,可以是集中式单元(central unit,CU),也可以是分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)。本申请的实施例对无线接入网设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,上述区域也可以称为物理区域、逻辑区域或覆盖区域。
网络覆盖与网络容量是衡量网络性能的关键性指标,也是影响终端设备性能的最直接的因素,当网络存在覆盖问题时,通常可以通过图1中的网络管理设备与域管理设备对覆盖问题进行处理。下面对网络设备与域管理设备优化覆盖问题的一般方法进行介绍。
需要说明的是,上述覆盖问题还可以称为容量问题、覆盖和容量问题或者覆盖或容量问题,本申请实施例对此不作限定。下文为了描述方便,将其称为覆盖问题。
图2是优化覆盖问题的一般方法200的示意性交互图。下面,对方法200的步骤进行说明。
S210,域管理设备采集网络设备的性能信息。
域管理设备所采集的网络设备的性能信息例如可以包括:参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality,RSRQ),终端设备的位置信息与切换相关参数等信息。
S220,域管理设备将采集到的网络设备的性能信息上报给网络管理设备。
S230,网络管理设备根据接收到的性能信息检测覆盖问题。
S240,网络管理设备根据检测到的覆盖问题,调整与网络设备相关的配置参数。
上述与网络设备相关的配置参数可以包括方位角,倾斜角,波宽,发送功率等。
S250,网络管理设备向域管理设备发送调整后的配置参数。
可以看出,在方法200中,由于域管理设备上报的性能信息的数据量是非常大的,每个域管理设备不一定都能上报非常庞大的数据量,并且不同的域管理设备上的性能信息还有可能是存在差异的,在这种情况下,网络管理设备就不能基于域管理设备上报的性能信息实时精确地检测覆盖问题。
其次,在方法200中,对于被不同域管理设备管理的网络设备,网络管理设备均采用一种通用的覆盖问题优化方法对全网进行优化。然而,由于覆盖问题的优化与具体的网络设备以及网络环境均相关,被不同域管理设备管理的网络设备之间可能会存在差异,此时, 如果网络管理设备采用一种通用的覆盖问题优化方法对全网进行优化,有可能导致优化效果较差。
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提供了一种通信的方法,能够提高网络覆盖的优化效果。
以下,结合图3至图5,对本申请实施例提供的通信的方法进行详细说明。
图3是本申请实施例提供的通信的方法300的示意性交互图。下面,对方法300的每个步骤进行详细说明。
在本申请实施例中,以网络管理设备(即,第二设备的一例)和域管理设备(即,第一设备的一例或第三设备的一例)作为执行方法300的执行主体为例,对方法300进行说明。作为示例而非限定,执行方法300的执行主体也可以是对应网络管理设备的芯片和对应域管理设备的芯片。
在S310中,网络管理设备向域管理设备#1(即,域管理设备的一例)发送覆盖问题监控策略,覆盖问题监控策略包括一个或多个覆盖问题对应的一个或多个判别条件。相应地,域管理设备获取覆盖问题监控策略。
在S320中,域管理设备#1获取覆盖对象#1(例如,第一覆盖对象的一例)的性能信息#1(即,第一性能信息的一例),并根据覆盖问题监控策略与性能信息#1,从一个或多个覆盖问题中确定覆盖对象#1存在的覆盖问题(即,目标覆盖问题的一例)。
在S330中,域管理设备#1向网络管理设备发送覆盖对象#1的覆盖问题信息(即,第一覆盖问题信息的一例)。相应地,网络管理设备接收域管理设备#1发送的覆盖对象#1的覆盖问题信息。
在本申请实施例中,覆盖问题信息用于描述覆盖对象具体存在何种覆盖问题。其中,覆盖对象可以包括小区、波束、网络,网络组件,区域与跟踪区域(tracking area,TA)中的任意一种。上述网络可以是指子网络,网络组件可以指网络功能模块或者配置有网络功能模块的网络设备。
例如,覆盖问题信息用于描述小区#1和小区#2之间存在覆盖干扰问题,或者,覆盖问题信息用于描述区域#1出现覆盖漏洞问题,或者,覆盖问题信息用于描述区域#1内的小区#1,小区#2,小区#3之间存在互相干扰问题,或者,覆盖问题信息还可以用于描述TA#1存在覆盖漏洞,或者,覆盖问题信息用于描述网络#1存在覆盖漏洞问题,或者,覆盖问题信息用于描述网络组件#1存在覆盖漏洞问题。需要说明的是,此处对覆盖问题信息的说明同样适用于下文中的方法400与方法500,为了简洁,后续不再赘述。
例如,在S320中,当覆盖对象#1为区域#1,性能信息#1包括RSRP与RSRQ时,域管理设备#1获取覆盖对象#1的性能信息#1,可以是指域管理设备#1获取区域#1中的网络设备#1的RSRP与RSRQ以及网络设备#2的RSRP与RSRQ。
其中,网络设备#1与网络设备#2属于区域#1中的网络设备且与域管理设备#1连接。域管理设备#1获取到性能信息#1后,根据覆盖问题监控策略与性能信息#1,从一个或多个覆盖问题中确定区域#1存在的覆盖问题,并向网络管理设备发送区域#1的覆盖问题信息,即向网络管理设备上报区域#1存在的覆盖问题。
需要说明的是,上述的一个或多个覆盖问题可以是协议预先规定好的,例如,可以在对域管理设备进行出厂设置时就预先将一个或多个覆盖问题进行配置,此时,上述覆盖问题监控策略中可以仅包括一个或多个判别条件,当域管理设备#1确定区域#1存在的覆盖 问题时,可以基于覆盖问题与覆盖问题对应的判别条件之间的关联关系,确定哪个判别条件具体与哪个覆盖问题对应。
例如,可以根据覆盖问题与判别条件各自的标识信息,确定哪个判别条件具体与哪个覆盖问题对应,例如,可以将同一标识信息对应的覆盖问题与判别条件确定为存在对应关系的一组覆盖问题与该覆盖问题对应的判别条件。
此外,还可以在对域管理设备#1进行出厂设置时就预先将一个或多个覆盖问题于该一个或多个覆盖问题对应的判别条件进行配置,此时,网络管理设备可以不用向域管理设备#1下发覆盖问题监控策略。即,在具体实现时,网络管理设备向域管理设备#1发送覆盖问题监控策略这一步骤可以不是必须的。
在一种实现方式中,网络管理设备可以根据接收到的区域#1的覆盖问题信息,调整覆盖对象#1的网络覆盖相关参数(即,网络覆盖相关参数的一例)。
例如,当覆盖对象#1为区域#1时,网络管理设备调整覆盖对象#1的网络覆盖相关参数可以是对区域#1中的网络设备#1与网络设备#2的网络覆盖相关参数进行调整,从而对区域#1的网络覆盖进行优化,即处理区域#1存在的覆盖问题。
在另一种实现方式中,网络管理设备还可以通过以下方式优化区域#1的网络覆盖优化意图,例如:
S340,网络管理设备根据覆盖对象#1的覆盖问题信息,确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图(即,第一网络覆盖优化意图的一例),域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图用于指示域管理设备#1应实现的网络覆盖优化的目标。
例如,网络管理设备可以根据接收到的区域#1(即,覆盖对象#1的一例)的覆盖问题信息,确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图。
S350,网络管理设备向域管理设备#1发送域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图。相应地,域管理设备#1接收网络管理设备发送的域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图。
S360,域管理设备#1根据域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图,调整覆盖对象#1的网络覆盖相关参数。
在一种实现方式中,域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图中包含有区域#1(即,覆盖对象#1的一例)的覆盖问题信息,例如,域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图指示消除区域#1的覆盖漏洞问题,则可以明确区域#1的覆盖问题信息指示区域#1存在覆盖漏洞问题,此时域管理设备#1在优化区域#1的网络覆盖时,不需要再额外获取区域#1的覆盖问题信息,可以仅根据域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图,对区域#1的网络覆盖进行优化。
在另一种实现方式中,当域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图中仅包含覆盖问题,并不包含覆盖对象时,此时,域管理设备#1还需要进一步结合覆盖问题信息,即根据网络覆盖优化意图与覆盖问题信息,对覆盖对象存在的覆盖问题进行处理。
例如,域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图仅指示消除过覆盖问题,此时,域管理设备#1还需要结合覆盖问题信息确定是区域内存在过覆盖问题还是小区内存在过覆盖问题,例如,域管理设备#1确定区域#1存在过覆盖问题,则域管理设备#1根据网络覆盖优化意图与覆盖问题信息,最终确定要对区域#1存在的过覆盖问题进行处理。
上述S320具体可以通过以下方式实现:域管理设备#1根据性能信息#1与覆盖问题对应的判别条件,将性能信息#1所满足的判别条件对应的覆盖问题确定为区域#1存在的覆 盖问题。
例如,覆盖问题可以包括弱覆盖(weak coverage)问题(例如,某区域的覆盖小于规划的覆盖需求)、覆盖漏洞(coverage hole)问题(例如,某区域没有覆盖)、过覆盖(overshoot coverage)问题(某区域中的小区或波束的覆盖范围超过规划的覆盖范围,有可能导致和其他小区或波束之间存在干扰)、导频污染(pilot pollution)问题(例如,某区域不同小区或者波束之间覆盖重叠严重,导致干扰或掉话等问题出现)、终端设备(user equipment,UE)热点区域(hotspot area)问题(例如,某区域小区覆盖边界或波束覆盖边界为终端设备热点区域,导致该边界位置切换频繁)与上行(uplink)与下行(downlink)覆盖不匹配(channel coverage mismatch)(例如,下行覆盖范围大于上行覆盖范围)问题中的一个或多个。
覆盖问题对应的判别条件可以包括导频信号强度阈值、信号干扰噪声比SINR(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR)阈值、RSRQ阈值、RSRP阈值、覆盖重叠区域阈值、覆盖重叠区域小区数量阈值、干扰电平阈值、小区切换频率阈值、小区切换次数阈值、无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接情况、物理资源块(physical resource block,PRB)使用率阈值与上行覆盖干扰功率阈值中的一个或多个。
性能信息#1可以包括RSRP、RSRQ、随机接入信道(random access channel,RACH)使用相关测量量、功率利用率(power utilization measurement)相关测量量(例如,最大载波(carrier)发送功率或平均载波发送功率)、信道质量信息(channel quality information distribution,)分布类测量量(distribution related measurement)(例如,平均子频带CQI分布类测量量)、终端设备传输功率空间(UE power headroom,UPH)、RRC连接相关测量量(connection related measurement)(例如,RRC建立成功率,RRC建立失败率,UE上下文(CONTEXT)释放请求数、UE CONTEXT释放成功数或者成功率)、无线接入承载(radio access bearer,RAB)承载测量量、PRB使用相关测量量(usage related measurement)(例如,上行PRB使用量或者使用率,下行PRB使用量或者使用率)、无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF)、位置(location)相关信息(例如,小区标识(Cell Id),跟踪区域(tracking area,TA),全球导航卫星系统(global navigation satellite system)信息)与上行干扰功率(UL interference power)中的一个或多个。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,性能信息与覆盖对象相关,例如,当覆盖对象为小区时,则性能信息包括至少一个小区的性能信息;当覆盖对象为区域时,则性能信息包括至少一个区域内的网络设备的性能信息。
例如,覆盖漏洞问题对应的判别条件包括:覆盖漏洞导频信号强度阈值,覆盖漏洞SINR阈值,覆盖漏洞电平阈值等;弱覆盖问题对应的判别条件包括:弱覆盖导频信号强度阈值,弱覆盖SINR阈值,弱覆盖电平门限等;过覆盖问题对应的判别条件包括:过覆盖电平门限,过覆盖RSRP阈值,过覆盖SINR阈值,覆盖重叠区域阈值;导频污染问题对应的判别条件包括:导频污染覆盖SINR阈值,覆盖重叠区域小区数量,干扰电平门限;终端设备热点区域问题对应的判别条件包括:小区切换频率或者次数,覆盖信号干扰比阈值;上下行覆盖不匹配问题对应的判别条件包括:上行覆盖干扰功率。
域管理设备#1在确定区域#1存在的覆盖问题时,可以分析和区域#1相关的性能信息#1,判断所性能信息#1是否满足上述覆盖问题对应的判别条件,将性能信息#1所满足的 判别条件对应的覆盖问题确定为区域#1存在的覆盖问题。
例如,当过覆盖问题对应的判别条件为过覆盖RSRP阈值,域管理设备#1可以判断性能信息#1中的RSRP是否大于过覆盖RSRP阈值,如果性能信息#1中的RSRP大于过覆盖RSRP阈值,则域管理设备#1可以确定区域#1存在的覆盖问题为过覆盖问题。
当域管理设备#1确定了区域#1存在的覆盖问题后,上述S330具体可以通过以下方式实现:
例如,在向网络管理设备上报区域#1存在的覆盖问题时,如果区域#1存在的覆盖问题不止一种时,例如,区域#1既存在过覆盖问题,又存在导频污染问题时,域管理设备#1可以将区域#1存在的过覆盖问题与导频污染问题作为一个整体上报至网络管理设备,或者,域管理设备#1还可以依次向网络管理设备上报区域#1存在的过覆盖问题与导频污染问题。
如果域管理设备#1确定另一区域(例如,区域#2)也存在与区域#1相同的覆盖问题时,例如,域管理设备#1确定区域#2也存在过覆盖问题,域管理设备#1可以将区域#2、区域#1存在的过覆盖问题作为一个整体上报至网络管理设备,或者,域管理设备#1还可以依次向网络管理设备上报区域#1存在的过覆盖问题与区域#2存在的过覆盖问题。
上述S340具体可以通过以下方式实现:网络管理设备根据区域#1存在的覆盖问题,确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图。
上述网络覆盖优化意图用于描述覆盖优化的目标或者效果。覆盖优化的目标可以包括无覆盖漏洞,无过覆盖,无覆盖干扰,无弱覆盖,弱覆盖比例阈值,过覆盖比例阈值,过覆盖比例阈值,覆盖漏洞阈值,上下行覆盖不匹配小区比例阈值,导频污染覆盖区域比例阈值,过覆盖小区比例阈值,弱覆盖小区比例阈值中的一个或多个。例如,域管理设备#1存在的覆盖问题为弱覆盖问题,网络管理设备根据区域#1存在的弱覆盖问题,确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图为弱覆盖比例阈值为10%,此处的10%可以是所允许的弱覆盖比例的最大值,即,使得优化后的区域#1的弱覆盖比例小于10%。
此外,网络覆盖优化意图在描述覆盖优化的目标或者效果,还可以进一步指示达到上述目标或效果的对象,例如,上述覆盖优化的目标中的无覆盖漏洞还可以进一步细化为小区内无覆盖漏洞,无过覆盖还可以进一步细化为区域内无过覆盖。
例如,区域#1存在的覆盖问题为覆盖干扰问题,网络管理设备根据区域#1存在的覆盖干扰问题,确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图为消除区域#1的覆盖干扰。在实际场景中,区域#1可能同时存在至少两个覆盖问题,此时网络管理设备需要结合所有的覆盖问题,给出域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图。
例如,区域#1既存在过覆盖问题,又存在覆盖干扰问题,网络管理设备根据区域#1存在的覆盖问题与覆盖干扰问题,确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图为区域#1的过覆盖比例阈值为20%,并消除区域#1的覆盖干扰。
上述S340具体还可以通过以下方式实现:网络管理设备根据区域#1的覆盖问题信息与区域#1相关的业务数据(即,第一覆盖对象相关的业务数据),确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图。
例如,在确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图时,网络管理设备除了根据区域#1的覆盖问题信息确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图外,还可以结合区域#1内的业务 话务模型、掉话率、用户分布情况与用户订阅数据等(例如,区域#1相关的业务数据的一例),确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图。
其中,区域#1的业务话务模型用于描述区域#1的话务量,网络管理设备可以根据区域#1的覆盖问题信息与区域#1的业务话务模型,确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图。例如,区域#1存在的覆盖问题为覆盖漏洞问题,此时,如果区域#1的业务话务模型指示区域#1没有话务量,则网络管理设备可以不为区域#1确定网络覆盖优化意图,即确定不对区域#1的网络覆盖进行优化,即不对区域#1存在的覆盖漏洞问题进行处理。
如果区域#1的业务话务模型指示区域#1存在一定的话务量,则网络管理设备可以根据区域#1存在的覆盖漏洞问题与区域#1的业务话务模型,确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图为消除区域#1的覆盖漏洞。网络管理设备还可以根据区域#1存在的覆盖问题与区域#1的用户分布情况,确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图。
例如,区域#1存在的覆盖问题为弱覆盖问题,此时,如果区域#1的用户分布情况指示区域#1没有用户分布,则网络管理设备可以不为区域#1确定网络覆盖优化意图,即确定不对区域#1的网络覆盖进行优化,即不对区域#1存在的弱覆盖问题进行处理。
如果区域#1的用户分布情况指示区域#1分布有一定数量的用户,则网络管理设备可以根据区域#1存在的弱覆盖问题与区域#1的用户分布情况,确定域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图为使得区域#1的弱覆盖比例<5%,或者,使得区域#1的弱覆盖比例<10%,或者,使得消除区域#1的弱覆盖。
网络管理设备将确定的域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图发送至域管理设备#1,域管理设备#1在接收到域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图后,上述S360具体可以通过以下方式实现:
域管理设备#1根据域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图,调整与网络设备#1与网络设备#2的网络覆盖相关参数。
例如,上述与网络设备#1与网络设备#2相关的参数可以包括方位角、倾斜角、水平波宽、垂直波宽、发送功率、天线模式与波束模式中的一个或多个。例如,域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图为弱覆盖比例阈值为10%,此处的10%可以是所允许的弱覆盖比例的最大值,域管理设备#1可以调整网络设备#1与网络设备#2的网络覆盖相关参数(例如,发送功率与天线模式),以期调整后使得区域#1的弱覆盖比例<10%。
域管理设备#1对网络设备#1与网络设备#2的网络覆盖相关参数进行调整时,可以将调整后的参数发送至网络设备#1与网络设备#2,由网络设备#1与网络设备#2根据接收到的调整后参数,对区域#1的网络覆盖进行优化。
在网络设备出厂时,通常可以针对不同场景(例如,室内场景,室外场景,高铁场景,广场场景),为网络设备配置不同的网络覆盖相关参数。因此,在对区域#1的网络覆盖进行优化时,域管理设备#1还可以将场景信息(例如,场景号1,2或者3)发送给网络设备,网络设备根据预先配置的场景信息与网络覆盖相关参数之间的对应关系,确定与场景信息相对应的网络覆盖相关参数,再根据确定的网络覆盖相关参数对区域#1的网络覆盖进行优化。
需要说明的是,上述方位角、倾斜角、水平波宽、垂直波宽、发送功率可以分别是天线方位角或波束方位角、天线倾斜角或波束倾斜角、天线水平波宽或波束水平波宽、天线 垂直波宽或波束垂直波宽、天线发送功率或波束发送功率。
需要说明的是,如果有至少两个域管理设备(例如,域管理设备#1与域管理设备#2(即,第三设备的一例))向网络管理设备上报的覆盖问题信息中包括了相同的覆盖问题,例如,域管理设备#1向网络管理设备上报了区域#1存在覆盖漏洞问题(即,第一覆盖问题信息的一例),域管理设备#2向网络管理设备上报了区域#2存在覆盖漏洞问题(即,第二覆盖问题信息的一例),此时,网络管理设备可以根据区域#1与区域#2的重叠情况,确定要发送至域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图(也可称为:域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图)与发送至域管理设备#2的网络覆盖优化意图(也可称为:域管理设备#2的网络覆盖优化意图)。下面针对区域#1与区域#2的几种重叠情况,对网络管理设备确定的要发送至域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图进行说明。
情况#1,区域#1与区域#2完全重叠。
在这种情况下,网络管理设备可以向域管理设备#1与域管理设备#2中的任意一个域管理设备发送网络覆盖优化意图,由域管理设备#1与域管理设备#2任意一个对区域#1或区域#2的网络覆盖进行优化。此时,S350中网络管理设备发送至域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图用于指示域管理设备#1对区域#1的网络覆盖优化时应实现的目标。
情况#2,区域#1与区域#2部分重叠。
在这种情况下,对于区域#1与区域#2的重叠区域,网络管理设备可以向域管理设备#1发送区域#1与区域#2的重叠区域的网络覆盖优化意图,由域管理设备#1对区域#1与区域#2的重叠区域的网络覆盖进行优化;对于区域#1与区域#2的非重叠区域,网络管理设备可以向域管理设备#2发送区域#1与区域#2的非重叠区域的网络覆盖优化意图,由域管理设备#2对区域#1与区域#2的非重叠区域的网络覆盖进行优化。此时,S350中网络管理设备发送至域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图用于指示域管理设备#1对区域#1与区域#2的重叠区域的网络覆盖优化时应实现的目标。
情况#3,区域#1与区域#2完全不重叠。
在这种情况下,对于区域#1,网络管理设备可以向域管理设备#1发送域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图,由域管理设备#1对区域#1的网络覆盖进行优化;对于区域#2,网络管理设备可以向域管理设备#2发送域管理设备#2的网络覆盖优化意图,由域管理设备#2对区域#2的网络覆盖进行优化。此时,S350中网络管理设备发送至域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图用于指示域管理设备#1对区域#1的网络覆盖优化时应实现的目标。
在本申请实施例中,当某一个域管理设备(例如,域管理设备#1)对相应区域(例如,区域#1)的网络覆盖进行优化之后,还可以进一步确定优化后的区域的网络覆盖是否满足相应的网络覆盖优化意图(例如,域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图)。例如:
S370,域管理设备#1获取覆盖对象#1的性能信息#2(即,第二性能信息的一例)。
S380,域管理设备#1根据性能信息#2与覆盖问题监控策略,确定对覆盖对象#1存在的覆盖问题优化后是否满足域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图。
例如,域管理设备#1继续采集区域#1(即,覆盖对象#1的一例)中的网络设备#1与网络设备#2的性能信息#2,并根据覆盖问题监控策略,再次确定当前区域#1存在的覆盖问题,域管理设备#1根据确定的当前区域#1存在的覆盖问题,判断是否满足域管理设备#1的网络覆盖优化意图,如果不满足,则继续执行S370,直到满足域管理设备#1的网络 覆盖优化意图为止。
需要说明的是,关于性能信息#2的具体解释请参考方法300中关于性能信息#1的相关解释,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
