Technical field

This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, device and system for monitoring network performance.

Background technique

The development of communication technology, including the introduction of vertical industries, the increase of terminal equipment and the diversification of services, has caused operators' networks to become more and more complex. Complex networks increase the difficulty of operation and maintenance. Therefore, network performance visualization has become an important technical means of network operation and maintenance. Based on network performance visualization, operation and maintenance personnel can intuitively obtain network performance data, which can quickly locate network performance problems. , Reduce operation and maintenance costs.

However, in the existing network performance monitoring method, the requirement device needs to specify a specific management object and the name of the network performance data in order to obtain the network performance data provided by the management device and realize the monitoring of the network performance. Relying on the above methods to obtain network performance data, on the one hand, the required equipment needs to pre-designate the management object, and can only obtain the network performance data of the specified management object, which lacks flexibility. On the other hand, demand equipment and management equipment need to synchronize management objects and network performance data names to obtain correct network performance data, which affects the efficiency of network operation and maintenance.

Summary of the invention

The network performance monitoring method, device, and system provided in this application can realize flexible subscription to network performance data and improve network operation and maintenance efficiency.

In order to achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

In the first aspect, the present application provides a network performance monitoring method. The method may include: a management device receives request information from a demand device. Among them, the request information is used to request network performance data. The request information carries network performance monitoring conditions. Network performance monitoring conditions include one or more of the following: network performance data statistical granularity, network performance data category, and network performance data filtering conditions. Among them, the network performance data statistical granularity is used to indicate the granularity of the network performance data to be sent; the network performance data category is used to indicate the type of the network performance data to be sent; the network performance data filter conditions are used to indicate the needs of the network performance data to be sent Filter conditions met. The management device determines the network performance data according to the network performance monitoring conditions. Among them, the network performance data meets the network performance monitoring conditions. The management device sends network performance data to the demanding device.

Exemplarily, if the network performance monitoring condition includes that the network performance data statistical granularity is at the regional level, the management device may obtain the network performance data according to the network performance statistical granularity requirement. For example, the throughput rate of uplink and downlink users with regional granularity, for example, may include the average of the uplink and downlink user throughput rates of all cells in the region.

Or, the network performance monitoring condition includes the network performance data category as the capacity category. For example, the network performance data that the demand device needs to subscribe to or monitor is capacity-type network performance data. For example, it can include: uplink and downlink throughput rate. Then the management device obtains capacity-type network performance data according to the network performance monitoring conditions.

Or, the network performance monitoring conditions include network performance data filtering conditions. For example, network performance data when network congestion occurs. Then, the management device can obtain the network performance data when the network is congested according to the network performance monitoring conditions.

Or, the network performance monitoring conditions include a combination of network performance data statistical granularity, network performance data category, and network performance data filter conditions. For example, the uplink and downlink throughput rate when the network is congested.

In this way, it is realized that the required equipment utilizes the network performance monitoring conditions and flexibly subscribes to the network performance data. The management device directly determines the corresponding network performance data according to the network performance monitoring conditions. Moreover, the network performance data can be determined without the need to synchronize the network performance data names between the management equipment and the demand equipment, thereby improving the efficiency of operation and maintenance.

In a possible implementation manner, the network performance monitoring condition includes the network performance data statistical granularity. The management device determines the network performance data according to the network performance monitoring conditions, including: the management device executes one or more of the following contents according to the network performance data statistical granularity: collecting network performance data of the network performance statistics granularity, and statistical analysis of the network performance statistics granularity of the network Performance data, query network performance data with the granularity of network performance statistics in the local database.

For example, the management device collects network performance data at the network performance statistical granularity, and the network performance data statistical granularity is network performance data at the network slicing service level. Then, the management device needs to request the network device (such as the base station) to report the network performance data of the network slice service level, collect (that is, receive) the network performance data of the network slice service level reported by the network device, and directly send the network performance to the demanding device data.

For another example, the management device statistically analyzes the network performance data of the network performance statistical granularity, and the network performance data statistical granularity is the network performance data of the network slicing level. Then, the management device needs to first receive the cell-level network performance data of the access network slice reported by the network equipment (such as the base station), and then, according to the cell-level network performance data of the access network slice, statistically analyze and generate the network slice-level network performance data. After that, the network performance data after statistical analysis is sent to the demanding device.

For another example, if the management device queries the local database for network performance data with network performance statistics granularity, it means that the local database of the management device stores network performance data with different network performance statistics granularities. Such as cell-level network performance data, network slice-level network performance data, etc. Among them, the network performance data in the local database may be network performance data directly stored after pre-collection by the management device. Alternatively, it can also collect and analyze the network performance data stored for the management device. Subsequently, the management device can directly call the network performance data of the corresponding network performance data statistical granularity in the local database according to the statistical granularity of the network performance data.

In this way, the management device can flexibly determine the network performance data according to the requirements contained in the network performance monitoring conditions carried in the received request information, and according to actual conditions, through a variety of implementation methods. For example, when the network performance data can be collected, the network performance data is directly collected, and the network performance status is fed back in real time. For another example, when network performance data collection is not possible, you can directly call the network performance data that has been analyzed and counted in the local database, so that the required device can directly apply it after receiving the network performance data sent by the management device. Perform statistical analysis to improve efficiency.

In a possible implementation manner, the network performance monitoring condition includes the network performance data category. The management device determines the network performance data according to the network performance monitoring conditions, including: the management device determines the network performance data name corresponding to the network performance data category. The management device performs one or more of the following according to the name of the network performance data: collects the network performance data corresponding to the network performance data name, statistically analyzes the network performance data corresponding to the network performance data name, and queries the network corresponding to the network performance data name in the local database Performance data.

Corresponding to the above example of the statistical granularity of network performance data, if the network performance monitoring condition includes the network performance data category, the management device can collect the network performance data according to the network performance data category, and then send it directly to the demanding device. It is also possible to collect network performance data according to the network performance data category, perform statistical analysis, and then send it to the equipment on demand. Alternatively, the management device stores the statistically analyzed network performance data in a local database, and after receiving the network performance monitoring condition, it queries the local database for the corresponding network performance data according to the network performance data category.

In a possible implementation manner, the network performance monitoring conditions include network performance data filtering conditions. The management device determines the network performance data according to the network performance monitoring conditions, including: the management device performs one or more of the following content according to the network performance data filtering conditions: collecting network performance data that meets the network performance data filtering conditions, and statistically analyzing the network performance data The network performance data of the filter condition is queried in the local database for the network performance data that meets the network performance data filter condition.

Corresponding to the foregoing example of the statistical granularity of network performance data, if the network performance monitoring conditions include network performance data filtering conditions, the management device can filter the network performance data according to the network performance data filtering conditions, collect the network performance data, and send it directly to the demanding device. It is also possible to collect the network performance data according to the network performance data screening conditions, and perform statistical analysis, and then send it to the equipment on demand. Alternatively, the management device stores the statistically analyzed network performance data in a local database, and after receiving the network performance monitoring conditions, it queries the corresponding network performance data in the local database according to the network performance data filtering conditions.

Optionally, if the network performance monitoring condition includes a receiving address, the management device may send network performance data to the receiving address after determining the network performance data. The device is required to directly receive network performance data at the receiving address, which can prevent data loss.

Further, different network performance data statistical granularities, different network performance data categories, and different network performance data filtering conditions may correspond to the same or different receiving addresses. In this way, the equipment on demand can directly distinguish the types of network performance data received through different receiving addresses.

Optionally, the network performance monitoring condition includes a statistical period, and the management device periodically determines the network performance data according to the statistical period, which can further save the power consumption of the device. Correspondingly, the network performance data sent by the management device to the demanding device is also the network performance data periodically determined by the demanding device.

Optionally, if the network performance monitoring condition includes a reporting period, the management device periodically sends network performance data according to the reporting period.

For example, after the management device collects coverage network performance data, it directly sends the collected coverage network performance data to the demand device.

For another example, after the management device queries the RSRP value in the local database, it sends the queried RSRP value to the demand device.

Optionally, the network performance monitoring conditions include network performance data filtering conditions, and the management device performs one or more of the following content according to the network performance data filtering conditions: collecting network performance data that meets the network performance data filtering conditions, and statistical analysis to meet the network performance The network performance data of the data filter condition is queried in the local database for the network performance data that meets the network performance data filter condition.

For example, the management device collects the throughput rate of uplink and downlink users during busy hours according to the screening conditions of network performance data.

For another example, the management device searches the local database for the RSRP value when a weak coverage problem is detected according to the filtering conditions of the network performance data.

S304. The management device sends network performance data to the demand device.

Wherein, the network performance data is obtained by the management device according to the network performance monitoring conditions, then the network performance data can meet the network performance monitoring conditions. After obtaining the network performance data according to the network performance monitoring conditions, the management device may send the obtained network performance data to the demanding device.

S305. The demand device receives network performance data from the management device.

Specifically, the network performance data received by the demand device in S305 corresponds to the specific implementation manner of sending the network performance data by the management device in S304, and will not be repeated here.

After S305, the required equipment can operate and maintain the network under its management according to the network performance data.

It should be noted that the execution sequence of the above steps included in the network performance monitoring method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be configured according to actual needs. This application does not specifically limit this. Figure 3 only illustrates the network performance monitoring method. A possible execution sequence of the aforementioned steps included is not specifically limited.

Therefore, in the network performance monitoring method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the device is required to obtain the network performance data statistical granularity, and/or the network performance data category, and/or the network performance that meets the network performance data filtering conditions by configuring the network performance monitoring conditions. data. Realize flexible customization requirements for network performance data, improve network performance data control and open flexibility, and improve network operation and maintenance efficiency.

Correspondingly, optionally, the demand device needs to determine the request information before sending the request information to the management device. In other words, the required equipment needs to first determine the network performance monitoring conditions. FIG. 4 is a second schematic diagram of a network performance monitoring method provided by an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 4, the network performance monitoring method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include S301a or S301b before S301.

S301a. The demand device receives the network performance monitoring condition.

Specifically, the required equipment can directly receive the network performance monitoring conditions input by the operation and maintenance personnel. That is, by collecting the network performance monitoring requirements of the operation and maintenance personnel, the network performance monitoring conditions are determined.

For example, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a network performance monitoring condition collection interface provided by an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 5, an interface 510 is used to collect network performance monitoring conditions. The required equipment corresponds to the display interface 512 by collecting the network performance monitoring conditions selected by the operation and maintenance personnel in the menu bar 511. The requirements of operation and maintenance personnel to subscribe or monitor network performance data are collected on the interface 512. For example, in FIG. 5, the interface 512 correspondingly displays the content after the network performance data filter condition is selected in the menu bar 511. The required equipment determines the network performance data filtering conditions by collecting the content input or selected by the operation and maintenance personnel on the interface 512.

It is understandable that the on-demand device can also receive network performance monitoring conditions in other ways. For example, directly receiving other equipment, such as automation modules, sending network performance monitoring conditions, etc. This embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

S301b. The demand device receives the network performance optimization demand or the network performance optimization intention, and determines the network performance monitoring condition according to the network performance optimization demand or the network performance optimization intention.

Among them, network performance optimization requirements or network performance optimization intentions are used to optimize network performance and perform network operation and maintenance management. In the process of network operation and maintenance, the network performance monitoring conditions can be determined according to the existing network conditions or real-time requirements. Different customers or automation modules have different subscription or monitoring requirements for network performance. Demand equipment can flexibly monitor network performance according to changes in requirements or intentions.

For example, when the demanding device receives the network slicing delay optimization demand, it determines the delay that needs to monitor the network slicing granularity according to the network slicing delay optimization demand. For another example, the demanding device receives the rate increase intention of the edge user, and then determines that it needs to monitor the UE-level uplink and downlink throughput rate when the user rate is less than 5 Mbps, and the regional-level uplink and downlink throughput rate at this time according to the edge user rate increase intent.

In this way, the on-demand device can determine the network performance monitoring conditions required by the operation and maintenance personnel or the automation module through the two different implementation methods in S301a and S301b. For example, the requirement device directly receives network performance monitoring conditions. Or, during the network operation process, the demand device receives the network performance optimization demand or the network performance optimization intention, and determines the network performance monitoring conditions by analyzing the network performance optimization demand or the network performance optimization intention. After that, the demand device can send a request message to the management device, the request message carries a certain network performance monitoring condition, and the corresponding network performance data is obtained, so as to realize flexible network performance monitoring and meet the operation and maintenance requirements.

Optionally, in the foregoing S301a or S301b, in the process of determining the request information, the management device may further determine other content included in the network performance monitoring condition. For example, the network performance monitoring conditions also include one or more of the following: receiving address, statistical period, and reporting period.

Among them, the receiving address, the statistical period, and the reporting period are determined by the required equipment according to one or more of the following: network performance data statistical granularity, network performance data category, and network performance data filtering conditions.

In a possible implementation, the network performance monitoring conditions also include receiving addresses set for one or more of the following: different network performance data statistics granularity, different network performance data categories, and different network performance data filtering The receiving address of the condition setting. The requirement device receives the network performance data sent by the management device at the receiving address.

Exemplarily, the device is required to set the same or different receiving addresses for different network performance data statistical granularities. For example, the network performance data receiving address at the cell-level granularity is address 1, and the network performance data receiving address at the network slicing granularity is address 2, and so on. Or, the device is required to set the same or different receiving addresses for different network performance data categories. For example, the receiving address of network performance data of the capacity type is address A, and the receiving address of network performance data of the coverage type is address B. Or, the device is required to set the same or different receiving addresses for different network performance data statistical granularities and different network performance data categories. For example, the receiving address of the network performance data of the cell-level granular capacity class is address 3, etc.

In this way, the demanding device can directly distinguish the received network performance data types through different receiving addresses.

In a possible implementation, the network performance monitoring conditions also include statistical periods set for one or more of the following: different network performance data statistical granularities, different network performance data categories, and different network performance data filtering condition. The demand device receives the network performance data collected by the management device according to the statistical period.

Exemplarily, the device is required to set the same or different statistical periods for different network performance data statistical granularities. For example, the network performance data statistical period at the cell level granularity is 5 minutes, and the network performance data statistical period at the network slice level granularity is 10 minutes. The equipment is required to set the same or different statistical periods for different network performance data categories. For example, the statistical cycle of network performance data of the capacity category is 10 minutes, and the statistical cycle of network performance data of the coverage category is 20 minutes, etc.

In a possible implementation, the network performance monitoring conditions also include a reporting period set for one or more of the following: different network performance data statistical granularities, different network performance data categories, and different network performance data filtering condition. The demand device receives the network performance data sent by the management device according to the reporting period.

Exemplarily, the requirement device sets the same or different reporting periods for different network performance data statistical granularities. For example, the reporting period of network performance data with cell-level granularity is 5 minutes, and the period of reporting network performance data with network slicing granularity is 10 minutes, and so on. The equipment is required to set the same or different reporting periods for different network performance data categories. For example, the reporting period of network performance data of the capacity category is 10 minutes, and the reporting period of network performance data of the coverage category is 20 minutes, and so on.

Correspondingly, optionally, if the network performance monitoring condition includes a statistical period, in S303, the management device determines the network performance data according to the network performance monitoring condition. It can be specifically implemented as follows: the management device determines the network performance data according to the statistical period according to the network performance monitoring conditions.

For example, the management device statistically analyzes the network performance data of the network performance statistical granularity according to the statistical period. In this way, periodic acquisition of network performance data not only meets the purpose of network performance monitoring, but also saves power consumption.

It can be understood that, correspondingly, optionally, in the above S305, the demand device will receive the network performance data determined by the management device according to the statistical period.

Correspondingly, optionally, if the network performance monitoring condition includes the receiving address, in the above S304, the management device sends network performance data to the demanding device, which can be specifically implemented as: the receiving address included in the network performance monitoring condition corresponding to the demanding device from the management device Address to send network performance data.

It can be understood that, correspondingly, in the above S305, the demand device can receive the network performance data sent by the management device according to the reporting period, so as to save power consumption.

Optionally, in the foregoing S301, the demanding device may send request information to the management device through different interfaces, and the demanding device may match the interface type through the type of the request information.
