技术领域
本申请实施方式涉及通信技术领域，特别涉及一种PCI的分配方法、基站、电子设备和计算机可读存储介质。
背景技术
物理层小区标识(Physical Cell Identifier，简称“PCI”)是长期演进(Long Term Evolution，简称“LTE”)和新无线接入技术(New Radio，简称“NR”)网络中用来唯一标识一个小区的物理层标识，LTE和NR中的终端用PCI来区分不同小区的无线信号。由于LTE系统和NR中可用的PCI数目有限，因此在同频组网的小区数目较多的情况下，不可避免地会出现PCI复用，即多个小区使用同一个PCI情况。相邻小区的PCI复用可能会引发PCI冲突或PCI混淆，影响正常的通信。
在服务小区初始的PCI与邻区产生PCI冲突或PCI混淆的情况下，网管会基于本网管下小区的频点、PCI等工作参数，为服务小区重新分配一个与本网管小区不冲突也不混淆的PCI，以保证通信的正常进行。

具体实施方式
为使本申请实施方式的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合附图对本申请的各实施方式进行详细的阐述。然而，本领域的普通技术人员可以理解，在本申请各实施方式中，为了使读者更好地理解本申请而提出了许多技术细节。但是，即使没有这些技术细节和基于以下各实施方式的种种变化和修改，也可以实现本申请所要求保护的技术方案。以下各个实施方式的划分是为了描述方便，不应对本申请的具体实现方式构成任何限定，各个实施方式在不矛盾的前提下可以相互结合相互引用。
本申请的一个实施方式涉及一种PCI的分配方法，应用于基站。在本实施方式中，基站获取与服务小区频点相同的邻区的物理层小区标识PCI；根据获取的PCI，生成所述服务小区的不可用PCI列表，并将所述不可用PCI列表同步到数据库中，供所述服务小区所属的网管根据所述数据库中的所述服务小区的所述不可用PCI列表，为所述服务小区分配PCI。本实施方式的PCI的分配方法的具体流程可以如图1所示。
PCI是LTE和NR网络中用来唯一标识一个小区的物理层标识，LTE和NR中的终端用PCI来区分不同小区的无线信号。LTE系统一共包括504个可用PCI，NR系统一共包括1008个可用PCI。当同频组网的小区数目较多(LTE系统下的小区数目超过504个，或NR系统下的小区数目超过1008个)时，不可避免地会出现PCI复用，即多个小区使用同一个PCI情况。PCI复用包含以下两种情况。
(1)、PCI冲突：小区与同频邻区使用相同的PCI。如果使用同一PCI的两个或多个同频小区在地理位置上的隔离度过小，则用户终端(User Equipment，简称“UE”)在这两个小区的信号交叠区域不能正常实现信号同步、解码。
发生PCI冲突的场景示意图如图2所示，图中小区A和小区B所属系统相同、频点相同且使用相同的PCI，小区A和小区B的PCI冲突。
在发生PCI冲突的两邻区所属的系统均为LTE系统的情况下，该PCI冲突可以被标识为：LTE-LTE的PCI冲突；在发生PCI冲突的两邻区所属的系统均为NR系统的情况下，该PCI冲突可以被标识为：NR-NR的PCI冲突。
(2)、PCI混淆：小区的多个同频邻区彼此使用相同的PCI。具有相同频点的两个使用相同PCI的小区虽然在覆盖上是隔离的，但却是同一个小区的邻区，这样当UE测量上报该混淆的PCI时，就会导致UE切换时发生混淆，无法确定UE的切换目标小区，从而导致切换失败而掉话。
发生PCI混淆的场景示意图如图3所示，图中小区A和小区C均为小区B的邻区，小区A和小区C所属系统相同、频点相同且使用相同的PCI，小区A和小区C的PCI混淆。其中，小区B是中间小区，它与小区A可以所属相同或不同系统，同频或异频。
在发生PCI混淆的两邻区所属的系统均为LTE系统的情况下，若中间小区所属的系统为LTE系统，则该PCI混淆可以被标识为：LTE-LTE-LTE的PCI混淆；若中间小区所属的系统为NR系统，则该PCI混淆可以被标识为： LTE-NR-LTE的PCI混淆。
在发生PCI混淆的两邻区所属的系统均为NR系统的情况下，若中间小区所属的系统为NR系统，则该PCI混淆可以被标识为：NR-NR-NR的PCI混淆；若中间小区所属的系统为LTE系统，则该PCI混淆可以被标识为：NR-LTE-NR的PCI混淆。
因此，在进行PCI分配时需要满足PCI不冲突和PCI不混淆这两个基本原则。
基站本地服务小区的邻区为一层邻区，服务小区的邻区的一层邻区就是服务小区的二层邻区。例如：B是A的一层邻区，C是B的一层邻区，那么C就是A的二层邻区。也就是说，要保证为服务小区分配的PCI不发生冲突或混淆的情况，服务小区的PCI不能与其一层同频邻区、二层同频邻区的PCI相同。
基站的服务小区一般都具有一个初始的PCI，然而，由于基站本地小区频点、PCI的改变，基站外部的小区的频点、PCI的改变，外部小区的增加或删除，或者基站中邻区关系的增加或删除，都有可能造成PCI冲突或混淆的情况发生。因此，需要及时地检测出PCI冲突和混淆，并进行服务小区PCI的优化，即为服务小区重新分配一个不会发生PCI冲突或混淆的新的PCI。
传统的为服务小区分配PCI的技术中，网管上会有本网管下所有小区的频点、PCI、经纬度等工程参数和邻区关系表信息，在进行PCI分配时，可以保证待分配小区的PCI与本网管下所有小区不冲突不混淆。但是上述分配方式不适用于异网管的场景，网管无法获取其余网管下小区的工参表和邻区关系等信息，因此在为服务小区，尤其是边界小区分配PCI时，无法保证服务小区与异网管下的邻区的PCI不冲突不混淆。
下面对本实施方式的PCI的分配方法的实现细节进行具体的说明，以下内容仅为方便理解提供的实现细节，并非实施本方案的必须。具体流程如图1所示，可包括如下步骤。
步骤101，获取与服务小区频点相同的邻区的PCI。
具体而言，由于小区与其同频的邻区可能发生PCI冲突或混淆，因此基站对与基站下的服务小区频点相同的邻区的PCI进行获取。
执行本实施方式中的PCI的分配方法的基站所属的系统为长期演进LTE系统或新无线接入技术NR系统。即基站可以是LTE系统中的基站eNodeB，或NR系统中的基站gNB。
在一个例子中，获取与服务小区频点相同的邻区的物理层小区标识PCI，可以包括：获取所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系；根据所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系，获取所述与服务小区频点相同的邻区的PCI。
在一个例子中，获取所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系，可以包括：根据所述基站与邻基站之间的接口的消息，获取所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系；或者，基于所述服务小区下的用户设备UE上报的邻区测量结果，获取所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系。根据基站与邻基站之间的接口的消息或基于服务小区下的UE上报的邻区测量结果，获取服务小区邻区的PCI，能够全面的获取服务小区的不可用PCI。
其中，根据所述基站与邻基站之间的接口的消息获取所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系，涉及的基站间通过接口进行信息交互的场景示意图如图4至图6所示。
图4中所示的相邻的两基站eNB1和eNB2分别属于网管1和网管2，eNB1和eNB2之间可以通过建立的X2接口进行站内小区及其邻区的信息交互。
图5中所示的相邻的两基站gNB1和gNB2分别属于网管3和网管4，gNB1和gNB2之间可以通过建立的Xn接口进行站内小区及其邻区的信息交互。
图6中所示的相邻的两基站eNB1和gNB1分别属于网管1和网管3， eNB1和gNB1之间可以通过建立的EN-DC X2接口进行站内小区及其邻区的信息交互。
步骤102，根据获取的PCI，生成服务小区的不可用PCI列表，并将不可用PCI列表同步到数据库中，供服务小区所属的网管根据服务小区的不可用PCI列表，为服务小区分配PCI。
具体地说，基站根据获取的服务小区邻区的PCI，将其中与服务小区产生冲突或混淆的PCI添加至服务小区的不可用PCI列表。进一步地，将不可用PCI列表同步到数据库中，使得服务小区所属的网管能够根据服务小区的不可用PCI列表，为服务小区分配PCI。
本实施方式中涉及的数据库中保存有基站的所有服务小区的不可用PCI列表，并支持基站的写入和网管的读取。
在一个例子中，与服务小区频点相同的邻区与所述服务小区所属的网管不同。不可用PCI列表中包括异网管下的该服务小区邻区的PCI，使得网管在根据不可用PCI列表为服务小区分配PCI时，能够更加准确的避免PCI冲突或者混淆的情况发生。
在另一个例子中，在所述根据所述基站与邻基站之间的接口的消息，获取所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系的情况下，所述根据获取的PCI，生成所述服务小区的不可用PCI列表，可以包括：在所述基站与所述邻基站所属的系统相同的情况下，将所述服务小区的一层邻区以及二层邻区的PCI添加至所述不可用PCI列表；在所述基站与所述邻基站所属的系统不同的情况下，将所述服务小区的二层邻区的PCI添加至所述不可用PCI列表。在服务小区的一层邻区与服务小区所属系统不同的情况下，不会发生PCI冲突，因此将二层邻区的PCI添加至所述不可用PCI列表，即可全面包括不可用PCI。
在所述基于所述服务小区下的用户设备UE上报的邻区测量结果，获取所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系的情况下，所述根据获取的 PCI，生成所述服务小区的不可用PCI列表，可以包括：将所述服务小区的二层邻区的PCI添加至所述不可用PCI列表。
在一示例性实施例中，为LTE系统下的服务小区生成不可用PCI列表。首先根据所述基站与邻基站之间的接口的消息向不可用PCI列表添加不可用PCI。
当LTE基站eNB1的邻基站为LTE系统下的基站时，基站eNB1与邻基站eNB2建立X2接口的连接后，可以获取邻基站eNB2本地小区及其一层邻区的相关信息。其中，获取的小区的信息包括：LTE小区全球标识(E-UTRAN Cell Global Identifier，简称“ECGI”)，其中ECGI＝PLMN+eNodeB ID+Cell ID，其中PLMN为公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network)；LTE小区的PCI；LTE小区载波下行中心频点。
在一实例中，基站根据获取的信息，为基站eNB1下的服务小区依次生成小区的不可用PCI列表。对于eNB1下的服务小区ECGI1，首先从该小区的邻区列表中找出所有属于eNB2的一层LTE邻区以及从X2接口消息中获取的二层LTE邻区，基站eNB1根据与邻基站eNB2的接口消息获取的小区ECGI1的一层邻区和二层邻区的信息如表1所示。
表1
Figure PCTCN2022127389-appb-000001
如果基站为服务小区重分配的PCI与频点相同的一层LTE邻区相同，则 会出现LTE-LTE类型的PCI冲突，因此需要将与服务小区同频的一层LTE邻区的PCI(5)添加到不可用PCI列表中。
如果基站为服务小区重分配的PCI与频点相同的二层LTE邻区相同，则会出现LTE-LTE-LTE类型的PCI混淆，因此需要将与LTE服务小区同频的二层LTE邻区的PCI(8和91)添加到不可用PCI列表中。
因此，基站根据与邻基站eNB2的接口消息，为服务小区ECGI1的生成的不可用PCI列表中需要添加的PCI为：{5,8,91}。
当LTE基站eNB1的邻基站为NR系统下的基站时，基站eNB1与邻基站gNB2建立4G-5G双连接(EUTRA-NR Dual Connectivity，简称“EN-DC”)X2接口连接后，可以获取邻基站gNB2的本地NR小区及其一层LTE邻区的相关信息。其中，获取的小区的信息包括：NR小区全球标识(NR Cell Global Identifier，简称“NCGI”)，其中NCGI＝PLMN+gNodeB ID+Cell ID，；LTE小区的PCI；LTE小区载波下行中心频点。
在一实例中，基站根据获取的信息，为基站eNB1下的服务小区依次生成小区的不可用PCI列表。例如，对于eNB1下的服务小区ECGI1，首先从该小区的邻区列表中找出所有属于gNB2的一层NR邻区以及从EN-DC X2消息中获取的二层LTE邻区，基站eNB1根据与邻基站gNB2的接口消息获取的小区ECGI1的一层邻区和二层邻区的信息如表2所示。
表2
Figure PCTCN2022127389-appb-000002
如果基站为服务小区重分配的PCI与频点相同的二层LTE邻区相同，则 会出现LTE-NR-LTE类型的PCI混淆，因此需要将与LTE服务小区同频的二层LTE邻区的PCI(15和78)添加到不可用PCI列表中。
因此，基站根据与邻基站gNB2的接口消息，为服务小区ECGI1的生成的不可用PCI列表中需要添加的PCI为：{15,78}。
在基站eNB1基于所述服务小区下的用户设备UE上报的邻区测量结果，获取所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系的情况下，LTE服务小区中的UE向基站上报与服务小区同频的其他未知LTE小区PCI，且该PCI不在服务小区的邻区列表中。基站根据UE上报的邻区测量结果获取的小区ECGI1的一层邻区和二层邻区的信息如表3所示。
表3
Figure PCTCN2022127389-appb-000003
LTE服务小区下的UE能测到未知小区的信号，说明该小区与服务小区的覆盖可能有重叠，如果基站为服务小区重分配的PCI与频点相同的未知LTE小区相同，则可能会出现LTE-LTE类型的PCI冲突，因此需要将与LTE服务小区同频的未知LTE小区的PCI添加到不可用PCI列表中。因此，基站UE上报的邻区测量结果，为服务小区ECGI1的生成的不可用PCI列表中需要添加的PCI为：{9}。
综合上述根据不同方式获取的服务小区邻区的信息，为服务小区ECGI1的生成的不可用PCI列表中的PCI为{5,8,9,15,78,91}。
另外，值得注意的是，为防止出现LTE-LTE-LTE类型的PCI混淆，基站应根据UE上报的邻区测量结果，为基站下的服务小区PLMN1+eNodeB1+Cell0在其不可用PCI列表中添加PCI(9)。为基站下的服 务小区PLMN1+eNodeB1+Cell2在其不可用PCI列表中添加PCI(92)。
值得一提的是，对于LTE系统下的小区，获取的频点信息为中心频点；对于NR系统下的小区，获取的频点信息为同步信号和PBCH块(Synchronization Signal and PBCH block，简称“SSB”)频点。
在基站为服务小区生成不可用PCI列表后，网管对PCI冲突或混淆的服务小区进行优化时，可以首先从数据库读取待优化的服务小区的不可用PCI列表，从全部可用的PCI分段中过滤掉列表中的不可用PCI，然后再从剩余的可用PCI中为该小区选择一个满足其余传统技术中的约束条件的PCI进行分配。其中，传统技术中的约束条件包括相邻小区PCI模3不等或模30不等、复用距离、复用层数、均衡性等相关参数满足预设条件等。
在实际执行本实施方式涉及的PCI的分配方法时，可以在基站侧设置PCI冲突或混淆检测模块和不可用PCI列表统计和维护模块，在网管侧设置PCI优化模块，在数据库中设置不可用PCI列表存储模块，基站、网管与数据库交互的示意图如图7所示。图7中用PciBlackList表示不可用PCI列表。还可以设置由基站向网管上报不可用PCI列表的动态。
本实施方式涉及的PCI的分配方法在异网管场景中同样适用，此处的异网管可以是同厂商的不同网管，也可以是异厂商的不同网管。本实施方式涉及的PCI的分配方法适用的组网场景可以是区域组网，也可以是插花组网。区域组网的组网场景如图8所示。
值得一提的是，对于分布式PCI分配方式，即网管为每个小区分配一个PCI列表并下发给基站，然后基站从PCI列表中为每个小区分配一个PCI值，本网管下基站可以通过接口与异网管下基站交互信息，实时获取异网管基站小区的频点、PCI、邻区关系等信息。然而，这种PCI分配方式往往需要网管与基站之间进行频繁的实时交互，效率低且难于实现和维护。在全网多个基站需要对本地小区进行PCI优化的情况下，如果同时需要向网管申请新的PCI列表，很容易造成网管消息风暴，堵塞网管引起网管瘫痪，对全网造成巨大 损失。本申请的实施方式对于分布式PCI分配方式能够实现避免网管与基站频繁交互，提高PCI分配效率的效果。
本实施方式对与服务小区频点相同的邻区的PCI进行实时获取，并根据获取的PCI，为服务小区生成不可用PCI列表。生成的不可用PCI列表被同步到数据库中，且能够被服务小区所属的网管获取，供网管根据该不可用PCI列表为服务小区分配PCI。相比于传统方法中网管仅能获取本网管下的小区的PCI，本申请的实施方式不局限于同网管的场景，不可用PCI列表可包括与服务小区频点相同的异网管小区的PCI，使得网管在根据不可用PCI列表为服务小区分配PCI时，能够更加准确的避免PCI冲突或者混淆的情况发生。
本申请的另一个实施方式涉及一种PCI的分配方法，下面对本实施方式的PCI的分配方法的实现细节进行具体的说明，以下内容仅为方便理解提供的实现细节，并非实施本方案的必须，具体流程如图9所示，包括以下步骤。
步骤901，获取与服务小区频点相同的邻区的PCI。
步骤902，根据获取的PCI，生成服务小区的不可用PCI列表，并将不可用PCI列表同步到数据库中，供服务小区所属的网管根据服务小区的不可用PCI列表，为服务小区分配PCI。
不难看出，本实施方式中的步骤901与步骤902与上一实施方式中的步骤101与步骤102相同，上一实施方式中提到的相关技术细节在本实施方式中依然有效，为了减少重复，这里不再赘述。
步骤903，实时获取与服务小区频点相同的邻区的PCI。
由于基站本地小区频点、PCI可能发生改变，基站外部的小区的频点、PCII可能发生改变，外部小区可能增加或删除，或者基站中邻区关系增加或删除，这些因素都有可能造成为服务小区分配的PCI再次产生PCI冲突或混淆的情况发生。因此，基站需要对邻区的信息进行不断的实时采集，以获知PCI的混淆或冲突的情况。
步骤904，根据实时获取的PCI，对不可用PCI列表进行更新，并同步到 数据库中。
由于邻区信息的变化可能使得服务小区不可用的PCI发生变化，因此基站需要根据实时获取的PCI，对不可用PCI列表进行更新，以避免PCI冲突或者混淆的情况发生。进而基站将更新的不可用PCI列表同步到数据库中，以使得网管能够获取，并根据更新的列表为服务小区分配新的PCI。
在一示例性实施例中，在LTE系统中的基站eNB1已经为该基站下的三个服务小区Cell0、Cell1和Cell2已经生成了各自的不可用PCI列表如表4所示。
表4
eNB ID+Cell ID+中心频点 不可用PCI列表
eNB1+Cell0+1850 {1,2,8,10}
eNB1+Cell1+1850 {0,2,8,11,13}
eNB1+Cell2+1850 {0,1,8,12,15}
eNB1通过接收到的X2接口的消息，获取了邻基站eNB2更新的本地小区及其一层邻区的相关信息。在eNB2的本地小区及其一层邻区中，找出eNB1下每个小区的同频一层和同频二层邻区，将这些邻区的PCI放入不可用PCI列表中，并记录检测添加次数和检测时间。eNB1下的三个服务小区Cell0、Cell1和Cell2的不可用PCI列表分别如表5至表7所示。
表5

表6
Figure PCTCN2022127389-appb-000005
表7
Figure PCTCN2022127389-appb-000006
如果网管需要对eNB1下Cell0进行PCI重新分配，则读取服务小区Cell0的最新的不可用PCI列表：{1,2,8,10,17,24},假设Cell0可用的PCI分段为0-503，则将不可用PCI列表中的PCI过滤掉后，再进行PCI的分配。
在一个例子中，在所述根据实时获取的PCI，对所述不可用PCI列表进行更新后，还可以包括：在所述不可用PCI列表中的PCI的个数大于预设门限的情况下，在所述不可用PCI列表中删除添加时间与当前时间的时间间隔超出预设阈值的PCI；其中，删除的PCI的个数不大于预设的可删除个数。每次对不可用PCI列表中的PCI进行删除的个数不可超过预设值，能够防止PCI删除过快，对系统造成影响。
在一示例性实施例中，基站对接收到的接口消息或UE测量上报获取的不可用PCI更新添加时间，并记录添加次数。基站为基站下的每个本地小区维护不可用PCI列表，其中一不可用PCI列表如表8所示。
表8
不可用PCI 最近一次添加时间 添加次数
0 2020.04.03 4
2 2020.03.12 3
8 2020.03.03 2
...... ......  
如表8所示，基站将不可用PCI列表中的PCI按照最近一次添加时间进行排序，最新添加的排在最前面。如果最近一次添加时间相同，则按照添加次数由大到小排序。除了上一例中对PCI删除的条件之外，为了防止不可用PCI删除过快，对系统造成影响，可以设置限制每天最多只能删除N个满足条件并且排在列表最下面的不可用PCI。
本实施方式实时获取与服务小区频点相同的邻区的PCI并根据实时获取的PCI对服务小区的不可用PCI列表进行更新，进而将更新的列表同步到数据库中供网管获取，使得网管能够在数据库中读取不断更新的不可用PCI列表，进而根据不断更新的不可用PCI列表为服务小区分配PCI，相比传统方法中网管不断与其他网管交互以获得不可用PCI的技术手段，能够提高为服务小区分配PCI的效率。
本申请的另一个实施方式涉及一种基站，如图10所示，包括以下模块。
获取模块1001，用于获取与服务小区频点相同的邻区的物理层小区标识PCI。
生成模块1002，用于根据获取的PCI，生成所述服务小区的不可用PCI列表，并将所述不可用PCI列表同步到数据库中，供所述服务小区所属的网管根据所述数据库中的所述服务小区的所述不可用PCI列表，为所述服务小区分配PCI。
在一个例子中，获取模块1001，还可以用于获取所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系；根据所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系，获取所述与服务小区频点相同的邻区的PCI。
在一个例子中，获取模块1001，还可以用于根据所述基站与邻基站之间的接口的消息，获取所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系；或者， 基于所述服务小区下的用户设备UE上报的邻区测量结果，获取所述服务小区的邻区的小区频点、PCI、邻区关系。
