Description

通信品質評価システム、通信品質評価方法および通信品質評価プログラムCommunication quality evaluation system, communication quality evaluation method and communication quality evaluation program
 本開示は、通信品質評価システム、通信品質評価方法および通信品質評価プログラムに関するものである。 This disclosure relates to a communication quality evaluation system, a communication quality evaluation method, and a communication quality evaluation program.
 無線アクセスの高速大容量化の実現のために、高周波数帯の活用が注目されている。例えば、第5世代移動通信システム(5G)では、28GHz帯を用いることで、高速大容量化を実現している。例えば、無線LAN規格であるIEEE802.11ad(ミリ波無線LANシステム)では、60GHz帯を用いることで、高速大容量化を実現している。また、高周波数帯を用いることで、広帯域を確保することが可能となり、低遅延通信も実現しやすくなる。 The use of high frequency bands is attracting attention in order to realize high speed and large capacity of wireless access. For example, in the 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), high speed and large capacity are realized by using the 28 GHz band. For example, in the wireless LAN standard IEEE802.11ad (millimeter wave wireless LAN system), high speed and large capacity are realized by using the 60 GHz band. Further, by using a high frequency band, it is possible to secure a wide band, and it becomes easy to realize low delay communication.
 高周波数帯の電波は、低周波数帯の電波よりも減衰しやすく、また、回折しづらい電波特性を有している。高周波数帯の電波は、例えば、エリア内の人、車両および樹木等の物体(遮蔽物)の影響を受けやすい。高周波数帯の電波の電波特性は、人および車両の移動、また、樹木の葉の量の変化等を要因として、大きく変化する。 Radio waves in the high frequency band are more easily attenuated than radio waves in the low frequency band, and have radio wave characteristics that are difficult to diffract. Radio waves in the high frequency band are susceptible to, for example, objects (shields) such as people, vehicles, and trees in the area. The radio wave characteristics of radio waves in the high frequency band change significantly due to factors such as the movement of people and vehicles, and changes in the amount of leaves of trees.
 このような電波特性の変化によって、無線通信システムの性能も変動する。ただし、従来多く展開されてきたベストエフォート型の無線通信システムにおいては、性能変動があったとしても通信自体は維持され、大きな問題は発生しなかった。 The performance of the wireless communication system also changes due to such changes in radio wave characteristics. However, in the best-effort wireless communication system that has been widely deployed in the past, the communication itself was maintained even if the performance fluctuated, and no major problem occurred.
 一方で、無線通信システムによるサービスの多様化に伴い、昨今では、各サービスに応じた厳しいネットワーク要件が求められるようになっている。例えば、無線ネットワークの構築時または構築後の運用時における保守において、通信品質を精度良く評価することへのニーズが高まっている。また、エリア毎に異なる通信品質が求められることもある。例えば、特定のエリアでのみ一定の品質を保証したい、というようなニーズもある。 On the other hand, with the diversification of services by wireless communication systems, strict network requirements according to each service are now required. For example, there is an increasing need for accurate evaluation of communication quality in maintenance during construction of a wireless network or during operation after construction. In addition, different communication qualities may be required for each area. For example, there is a need to guarantee a certain quality only in a specific area.
 上述したようなニーズに対応するためには、無線通信システムの通信品質の評価を行う必要がある。無線通信システムの通信品質の評価は、例えば、ネットワーク構築前において、所望のエリアで所望の通信品質を達成するための置局設計のために行われる。また、無線通信システムの通信品質の評価は、例えば、ネットワーク構築後において、通信異常が発生した場合の原因究明のために用いられる。 In order to meet the above-mentioned needs, it is necessary to evaluate the communication quality of the wireless communication system. The evaluation of the communication quality of the wireless communication system is performed, for example, for the station design for achieving the desired communication quality in the desired area before the network construction. Further, the evaluation of the communication quality of the wireless communication system is used, for example, for investigating the cause when a communication abnormality occurs after the network is constructed.
 一定以上の通信品質を保証する無線通信システムを構築するためには、電波特性の変化を考慮した上での通信品質の評価が必要である。通信品質の評価を行う従来の方法として、例えば、測定器を実際の現場に持ち出して測定を行う、という方法がある。このような方法として、非特許文献1には、AR(Augmented Reality)技術によって、電波伝搬の振る舞いを現場で可視化して評価するツールが開示されている。 In order to build a wireless communication system that guarantees communication quality above a certain level, it is necessary to evaluate the communication quality in consideration of changes in radio wave characteristics. As a conventional method for evaluating communication quality, for example, there is a method of taking a measuring instrument to an actual site and performing measurement. As such a method, Non-Patent Document 1 discloses a tool for visualizing and evaluating the behavior of radio wave propagation in the field by AR (Augmented Reality) technology.
 しかしながら、現場での実測による評価方法は、現実の電波特性の変化を考慮できるという点で有効ではあるが、広範囲にエリアにおける通信品質を面的に評価するためには多くの手間がかかってしまうという課題がある。また、実測による評価方法においては、エリア内の環境が変化した場合に再度の実測が必要となってしまい、例えば、短時間でエリア内の環境が変化するようなケースには対応しきれないという課題がある。 However, although the evaluation method based on actual measurement in the field is effective in that changes in actual radio wave characteristics can be taken into consideration, it takes a lot of time and effort to evaluate the communication quality in a wide area. There is a problem. In addition, in the evaluation method by actual measurement, when the environment in the area changes, it is necessary to measure again, and for example, it is not possible to deal with the case where the environment in the area changes in a short time. There are challenges.
 上記のような課題を踏まえ、現場に赴くことなく通信品質を評価するツールとして、ネットワークシミュレータおよび電波伝搬シミュレータ等が従来提供されている。 Based on the above issues, network simulators, radio wave propagation simulators, etc. have been conventionally provided as tools for evaluating communication quality without going to the site.
 ネットワークシミュレータは、予めモデル化された電波伝搬モデルに基づいた計算を行うことによって通信品質を評価するツールである。ネットワークシミュレータを用いる場合には、ユーザによるモデル化が必要となる。例えば、人、車両および樹木等の構造物の影響を考慮したモデル化の作業は煩雑である。また、適切なモデル化がなされない場合にはエリア特有の電波特性を十分に考慮することができない。 The network simulator is a tool for evaluating communication quality by performing calculations based on a radio wave propagation model modeled in advance. When using a network simulator, modeling by the user is required. For example, the work of modeling considering the influence of structures such as people, vehicles and trees is complicated. In addition, if proper modeling is not performed, the radio wave characteristics peculiar to the area cannot be fully considered.
 電波伝搬シミュレータは、通信品質の評価対象となるエリアの情報に基いて受信電力等を評価するツールである。電波伝搬シミュレータによればエリア特有の電波特性を考慮した上で通信品質を評価することができる。ただし、従来の電波伝搬シミュレータは、人、車両および樹木等の構造物の変化を考慮しない前提の静的な計算を行うものであり、上述したようなエリア内の環境の変化には対応できない。 The radio wave propagation simulator is a tool that evaluates received power, etc. based on information in the area to be evaluated for communication quality. According to the radio wave propagation simulator, the communication quality can be evaluated after considering the radio wave characteristics peculiar to the area. However, the conventional radio wave propagation simulator performs static calculation on the premise that changes in structures such as people, vehicles, and trees are not taken into consideration, and cannot cope with changes in the environment in the area as described above.
 以上に示したように、従来の通信品質の評価方法および評価ツールにおいては、評価対象となるエリア内の環境の変化に対応することが難しいという課題があった。本開示は、このような課題を解決するためになされたものである。本開示の目的は、評価対象となるエリア内の環境の変化に対応可能な通信品質評価システム、通信品質評価方法および通信品質評価プログラムを提供することである。 As shown above, the conventional communication quality evaluation method and evaluation tool have a problem that it is difficult to respond to changes in the environment in the area to be evaluated.

The environmental analysis unit 20 is configured to estimate changes and movements of an object based on environmental information and generate object placement information based on the estimation results. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the environment analysis unit 20 is from the analysis unit 21, the object change estimation unit 22, the object change database 23, the object movement estimation unit 24, the object movement database 25, and the object arrangement generation unit 26. It is composed.
 分析部21は、環境情報を分析および評価し、環境情報内に含まれる物体種別、物体位置および環境種別を検出と判定とを行う。分析部21は、複数の環境情報を用いた分析を行ってもよい。また、分析部21は、一定時間内における動的な環境情報を用いた分析をしてもよい。 The analysis unit 21 analyzes and evaluates the environmental information, and detects and determines the object type, the object position, and the environment type included in the environmental information. The analysis unit 21 may perform analysis using a plurality of environmental information. Further, the analysis unit 21 may perform an analysis using dynamic environmental information within a certain period of time.
 物体種別とは、例えば、人、車両、樹木等の構造物の種別を意味する。環境種別とは、例えば、屋外であるか屋内であるか、また、屋外であればオフィス街、住宅街、郊外または観光地等を意味する。物体種別および環境種別は、上記の例に限定されるものではない。 The object type means, for example, the type of a structure such as a person, a vehicle, or a tree. The environment type means, for example, whether it is outdoors or indoors, and if it is outdoors, it means an office district, a residential area, a suburb, a tourist spot, or the like. The object type and environment type are not limited to the above examples.
 分析部21による検出および判定の処理は、予め記録・学習された情報群と分析対象となる環境情報との比較等によって行われる。分析部21による検出および判定の処理は、例えば、機械学習等を用いて実行される。分析部21は、環境情報の分析および評価の結果として、物体種別、物体位置および環境種別の情報を出力する。 The detection and determination process by the analysis unit 21 is performed by comparing the information group recorded / learned in advance with the environmental information to be analyzed. The detection and determination processing by the analysis unit 21 is executed by using, for example, machine learning. The analysis unit 21 outputs information on the object type, the object position, and the environment type as a result of the analysis and evaluation of the environmental information.
 物体変化推定部22は、自身の状態が変化する物体の時間毎の変化を推定する。自身の状態が変化する物体には、例えば、葉の量が変化する樹木等が該当する。 The object change estimation unit 22 estimates the time-dependent change of the object whose state changes. An object whose state changes is, for example, a tree whose leaf amount changes.
 物体変化推定部22は、分析部21から出力された情報に基づき、当該情報に含まれる物体種別について物体変化データベース23を照会する。物体変化推定部22は、物体種別に対応する時間変化情報を物体変化データベース23から取得する。 The object change estimation unit 22 inquires about the object change database 23 for the object type included in the information based on the information output from the analysis unit 21. The object change estimation unit 22 acquires time change information corresponding to the object type from the object change database 23.
 時間変化情報とは、物体の時間的変化に関する情報である。例えば、物体が樹木である場合の時間変化情報は、季節の変化に伴う樹木の形状の変化および葉の量の変化等の情報である。ある特定の時間または季節における特徴的な情報のみが実際に用いられる時間変化情報として抽出されてもよい。 Time change information is information related to the time change of an object. For example, the time change information when the object is a tree is information such as a change in the shape of the tree and a change in the amount of leaves due to a change in the season. Only characteristic information at a specific time or season may be extracted as time-varying information that is actually used.

The object change database 23 outputs necessary information to the object change estimation unit 22 in response to the notification from the object change estimation unit 22.
 物体移動推定部24は、物体の移動経路、移動速度および出現頻度を推定する。物体移動推定部24は、分析部21から出力された情報に含まれる物体種別および物体位置から、物体の移動経路および移動速度を推定する。例えば、時間的に連続した複数の環境情報から得られた物体種別と物体位置とに基づいて同一物体の位置の変化を計算することで、物体の移動経路と移動速度とを推定することができる。また、一定時間ごとの特定の物体の数を求めることにより、当該物体の出現頻度を推定することができる。 The object movement estimation unit 24 estimates the movement path, movement speed, and appearance frequency of the object. The object movement estimation unit 24 estimates the movement path and movement speed of the object from the object type and the object position included in the information output from the analysis unit 21. For example, the movement path and movement speed of an object can be estimated by calculating the change in the position of the same object based on the object type and the object position obtained from a plurality of temporally continuous environmental information. .. Further, by obtaining the number of specific objects at regular intervals, the appearance frequency of the objects can be estimated.
 物体移動データベース25は、様々な環境種別に対応する物体の移動速度、出現頻度および時間毎の混雑度(出現数)を記録する。物体移動推定部24は、物体移動データベース25に記録された情報を参照し、分析部21から出力された情報に含まれる環境種別に対応する環境の情報を物体移動データベース25から取得してもよい。物体移動推定部24は、物体移動データベース25から取得した情報を用いて、分析部21から得られた情報からは推定できない情報の補完を行ってもよい。例えば、環境情報が日中帯等の特定の時間帯でしか取得できない場合に、夜間帯における物体の移動などを推定するために物体移動データベース25から取得した情報を用いてもよい。 The object movement database 25 records the movement speed, appearance frequency, and congestion degree (number of appearances) of objects corresponding to various environment types. The object movement estimation unit 24 may refer to the information recorded in the object movement database 25 and acquire the environment information corresponding to the environment type included in the information output from the analysis unit 21 from the object movement database 25. .. The object movement estimation unit 24 may use the information acquired from the object movement database 25 to supplement information that cannot be estimated from the information obtained from the analysis unit 21. For example, when the environmental information can be acquired only in a specific time zone such as the daytime zone, the information acquired from the object movement database 25 may be used to estimate the movement of the object in the night zone.
 物体移動データベース25の参照は、分析部21によって出力された環境種別によるものではなく、環境情報そのものによって行われてもよい。物体移動推定部24は、環境情報そのものを用いて、評価対象となるエリアに近い環境の情報を、物体移動データベース25から取得してもよい。 The reference to the object movement database 25 is not based on the environment type output by the analysis unit 21, but may be performed by the environment information itself. The object movement estimation unit 24 may acquire information on the environment close to the area to be evaluated from the object movement database 25 by using the environment information itself.
 物体移動推定部24は、物体の移動経路を推定する際、地形・構造物情報を用いて、物体が構造物等と衝突しないように移動経路を推定してもよい。また、地図データを参照することによって、物体の移動経路の推定結果の補正を行ってもよい。例えば、物体移動推定部24が物体の移動経路を推定した後、地図データ上の道路(例えば、物体が車両である場合には車道)のうち推定結果に最も近い道路を移動経路とする補正を行ってもよい。 When estimating the movement path of an object, the object movement estimation unit 24 may estimate the movement path so that the object does not collide with a structure or the like by using the terrain / structure information. Further, the estimation result of the movement path of the object may be corrected by referring to the map data. For example, after the object movement estimation unit 24 estimates the movement route of the object, the correction is made so that the road closest to the estimation result among the roads on the map data (for example, the roadway when the object is a vehicle) is set as the movement route. You may go.
 物体移動推定部24は、推定した物体の移動経路、移動速度および出現頻度を物体配置生成部26に出力する。物体移動推定部24は、ある特定の時間帯における特徴的な物体の移動経路、移動速度および出現頻度の推定結果を抽出して出力してもよい。また、物体移動推定部24は、任意に設定された一定期間における一定時間毎の物体の配置および数の推定結果を配置パターンとして出力してもよい。例えば、1分間における1秒ごとの通信品質の評価をしたい場合には、物体の移動を反映した60パターンの配置パターンが出力される。 The object movement estimation unit 24 outputs the estimated movement path, movement speed, and appearance frequency of the object to the object arrangement generation unit 26. The object movement estimation unit 24 may extract and output estimation results of a characteristic movement path, movement speed, and appearance frequency of a characteristic object in a specific time zone. Further, the object movement estimation unit 24 may output the estimation result of the arrangement and the number of objects at regular time intervals in an arbitrarily set fixed period as an arrangement pattern. For example, when it is desired to evaluate the communication quality every second in one minute, 60 patterns of arrangement patterns reflecting the movement of the object are output.
 物体配置生成部26は、物体変化推定部22および物体移動推定部24での推定結果を地形・構造物情報に反映して、物体配置情報を生成する。物体配置情報が複数になる場合、それぞれの物体配置情報に含まれる物体の状態または物体の配置の情報は、それぞれ異なるものとなる。物体配置情報が複数になる場合、各物体配置情報に対応する配置IDが付与される。物体配置情報には、時間情報が含まれる。 The object arrangement generation unit 26 reflects the estimation results of the object change estimation unit 22 and the object movement estimation unit 24 in the terrain / structure information to generate the object arrangement information. When there are a plurality of object arrangement information, the state of the object or the information on the arrangement of the objects included in each object arrangement information is different from each other. When there are a plurality of object placement information, a placement ID corresponding to each object placement information is assigned. The object placement information includes time information.
