Technical field

The present application relates to the field of information processing technology, and in particular to a terminal equipment switching method, a base station, electronic equipment and a storage medium.

Background technique

In multi-frequency networking scenarios, UE (User Equipment) usually needs to perform inter-frequency and inter-system switching. Therefore, before performing network handover, the UE needs to measure different frequencies or different systems, which will occupy the time overhead of UE data transmission and affect the UE performance and service experience. The current existing method is that the base station will have the same serving cell and the same frequency Terminals in neighboring cells, and such terminals have similar RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power, reference signal receiving power) are divided into the same grid. If the UE needs to perform inter-frequency or inter-system handover, the base station queries the virtual grid where the current UE is located. grid and select the inter-frequency or inter-system cell with the strongest RSRP in the grid as the handover target cell, eliminating the need for the UE to perform inter-frequency or inter-system measurement again. However, in the actual network, the target cell with the strongest RSRP is not the target cell with the best user perception experience. The target cell with the strongest RSRP cannot fully reflect the situation of the wireless link. Therefore, the optimal target cell cannot be selected for the user. .

The embodiments of the present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Figure 1, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a network architecture for performing a switching method of a terminal device provided by an embodiment of the present application.

In the embodiment of FIG. 1 , the network architecture 100 includes, but is not limited to, a first base station 200 , a second base station 300 and a terminal device 400 .

In some embodiments, multiple first grids are constructed for the first base station 200 to obtain service cells of the terminal device 400 through signal coverage, and the second base station 300 also obtains multiple cells through signal coverage. At least one of the second base stations 300 A cell serves as a neighboring cell of the serving cell of the first base station 200, and multiple second grids are constructed for the neighboring cells. The first base station 200 first determines the first grid information corresponding to the first grid based on the first grid. , the user can determine the communication quality of the terminal device 400 in the first grid through the first grid information, and then compare the switching threshold set by the first base station 200 with the grid power in the first grid information. When the first The grid power in the grid is greater than the handover threshold. The first base station 200 sends a measurement request to the neighboring cell of the serving cell, that is, the second base station 300, to receive the second grid information corresponding to the second grid in the neighboring cell, thereby Realize the interaction of grid information between the first base station 200 corresponding to the serving cell and the second base station 300 corresponding to the neighboring cell, and when receiving the handover request sent by the terminal device 400, determine the base station corresponding to the first grid according to the handover request. second grid, thus establishing the corresponding relationship between the first grid where the terminal device 400 is located in the current cell (i.e., the serving cell) and the second grid where the target cell (i.e., the neighboring cell) is located. Finally, when it is determined The second grid information corresponding to the second grid is better than the first grid information corresponding to the first grid, indicating that the communication quality of the second grid is higher than the communication quality of the first grid, then the terminal device 400 is changed from the first grid to the first grid. The grid switching value is the second grid, which implements switching of the terminal device 400, and obtains the communication quality of the first grid and the second grid through the first grid information and the second grid information, thereby improving the communication quality of the serving cell and neighboring cells. Perception of the community.

It should be noted that the first base station 200 and the second base station 300 can set a certain period to continue collecting and learning.

Based on the structure of the above network architecture 100, various embodiments of the switching method of the terminal device 400 of the present application are proposed below.

Referring to Figure 2, Figure 2 is a flow chart of a terminal equipment switching method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The terminal equipment switching method is applied to but not limited to the first base station of the system architecture, including but not limited to steps S100-S500.

It should be noted that the first base station obtains the serving cell of the terminal device through signal coverage.

Step S100: Construct multiple first grids for the serving cell;

It can be understood that the first base station can cover multiple cells through signals, select the cell where the terminal device is located as the serving cell, and the first grid can be obtained by dividing the serving cells according to the preset area or preset row and column conditions, for example , divide the service area into 50 square meters and 80 square meters to obtain multiple first grids; or evenly divide the service area into three rows and three columns, five rows and six columns, etc. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions.

It should be noted that the process of constructing grids based on serving cells includes networks of different standards and different frequency bands. For example: constructing grids for all cells of TDD NR (Time Division Duplex New Radio, dual-channel new radio), and constructing grids for FDD A grid is constructed for all cells of NR (Frequency Division Duplexing New Radio), or a grid is constructed for all cells of LTE (Long Term Evolution).

Step S200: Determine the first grid information corresponding to the first grid according to the first grid;

It should be noted that the first grid information is used to characterize the communication quality of the terminal device in the first grid.

Step S300: Send a measurement request to the neighboring cell of the serving cell to receive the second grid information corresponding to the second grid in the neighboring cell;

It should be noted that the second grid is constructed by the second base station for the neighboring cell.

In some embodiments, a measurement request is sent to a neighboring cell of the serving cell, and the second grid information corresponding to the second grid in the neighboring cell is received, thereby realizing the interaction of grid information of the serving cell and the neighboring cell to facilitate subsequent Determine the communication quality of the terminal device switching grid and realize the prediction of the communication quality of the target switching grid.

Step S400: When receiving the switching request sent by the terminal device, determine the second grid corresponding to the first grid according to the switching request;

In some embodiments, when a handover request sent by the terminal device is received, it is possible to determine which first grid of the serving cell the terminal device is in according to the handover request, thereby determining the geographical location of the terminal device in the serving cell, and according to the handover request The request is to determine the second grid corresponding to the first grid, so that the correspondence between the first grid and the second grid can be established, which facilitates the judgment between the first grid information and the second grid information.

Step S500: When the second grid information corresponding to the second grid is better than the first grid information corresponding to the first grid, switch the terminal device from the first grid to the second grid.

It should be noted that after obtaining the second grid information in step S300, the first grid information can be compared with the second grid information. When the second grid information corresponding to the second grid is better than the first grid The corresponding first grid information indicates that the communication quality in the first grid is higher, and the terminal device is switched from the first grid to the second grid, thereby realizing switching of the terminal device.

In some embodiments, first, a plurality of first grids are constructed for the serving cells of the terminal equipment obtained by the first base station through signal coverage, and the first grid information corresponding to the first grid is determined according to the first grid, as follows: This obtains the communication quality of the terminal device in the first grid, and then sends a measurement request to the neighboring cells of the serving cell, and receives the second grid information corresponding to the second grid in the neighboring cells, realizing the integration of the first grid information with the second grid. The information exchange of grid information facilitates the subsequent establishment of the corresponding relationship between the first grid and the second grid. When a switching request sent by the terminal device is received, the second grid corresponding to the first grid is determined according to the switching request, thereby The corresponding relationship between the first grid and the second grid is obtained to facilitate comparison of the first grid information and the second grid information. Finally, when it is determined that the second grid information corresponding to the second grid is better than the first grid The first grid information corresponding to the grid is used to switch the terminal device from the first grid to the second grid, so that the optimal switching cell can be selected for the user, so that the communication quality after the user switches is improved.

In some embodiments, the first grid information includes grid power, neighbor cell information, and communication quality values, where the communication quality values include at least one of the following: a network performance indicator value; or a perceived service indicator value, where the perceived service The index value is used to represent the average value of the service quality index of the terminal device.

It should be noted that the grid power in the first grid information is the RSRP of the first grid, the neighboring cell information is the information of the cells adjacent to the serving cell, and the communication quality value can be the network performance index value or the perceived service index. value, by determining the first grid information corresponding to the first grid, the communication quality of the serving cell can be accurately judged, thereby facilitating subsequent handover.

Referring to Figure 3, Figure 3 is a flow chart of a terminal device switching method provided by another embodiment of the present application, including but not limited to steps S600-S700.

Step S600: When the grid power of the first grid information is greater than the handover threshold of the first base station, send a measurement request to the neighboring cell;

Step S700: When the grid power of the first grid information is less than the switching threshold of the first base station, the terminal device continues to camp in the first grid.

In one embodiment, the first base station is set with a handover threshold. When the grid power of the first grid information is greater than the handover threshold of the first base station, a measurement request is sent to the neighboring cell; when the grid power of the first grid information is less than the switching threshold of the first base station, the terminal equipment continues to reside in the first grid.

It should be noted that during the grid construction phase, the base station needs to adjust the handover threshold by selecting UEs according to time or randomly, so that the terminal device can switch in advance or delay the handover. This process is called the exploration process, and the exploration process can It is a periodic exploration, and can also be manually turned on or off according to the network management configuration. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions.

Referring to Figure 4, Figure 4 is a flow chart of a terminal device switching method provided by another embodiment of the present application, including but not limited to step S800.

Step S800: When the first grid information corresponding to the first grid is better than the second grid information corresponding to the second grid, the terminal device continues to reside in the first grid.

In some embodiments, when it is determined that the first grid information corresponding to the first grid is better than the second grid information corresponding to the second grid, it means that the communication quality of the second grid is better than the communication quality of the first grid. If the error is poor, the terminal device will continue to reside in the first grid without switching the terminal device, thereby predicting the communication quality of the grid to which the terminal device will switch and improving the user's sense of use.

Referring to Figure 5, Figure 5 is a flow chart for obtaining network performance index values provided by an embodiment of the present application, including but not limited to steps S110-S120.

Step S110: Perform statistics on the key performance indicators of each first grid according to the preset time dimension and the preset terminal type dimension to obtain statistical results;

Step S120: average the statistical results to obtain network performance index values.

In some embodiments, statistics are performed on the key performance indicator (Key Performance Indicator, KPI) of each first grid according to the preset time dimension and the preset terminal type dimension, the statistical results are obtained, and the statistical results are averaged, The final network performance index value is obtained, which is convenient for judging the communication quality of the grid based on the network performance index value.

It can be understood that the preset time dimension can be any time interval or specific time point, or a time period such as free time or busy time, for example, from 9 am to 12 am, from 1 pm to 2 pm, or on the 10th of every month. Statistics, statistics every Wednesday, etc., the preset terminal type dimension can be a serial port terminal, a pseudo terminal or a physical terminal, etc. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions.

It should be noted that the key performance indicators can be wireless access success rate, handover success rate, dropped call rate, uplink terminal throughput rate, downlink terminal throughput rate, average MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme, modulation and coding strategy), RRC ( Indicators such as Radio Resource Control (Radio Resource Control) user connection number, uplink CQI (Continuous Quality Improvement, network continuous quality improvement) excellent rate or uplink noise floor increase are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

Referring to Figure 6, Figure 6 is a flow chart for obtaining network performance index values provided by another embodiment of the present application, including but not limited to step S130.

Step S130: Train the preset network model according to the statistical results to obtain network performance index values.

In some embodiments, the preset network model is trained according to the statistical results to obtain the network performance index value of the first grid, which is convenient for judging the communication quality of the first grid.

It should be noted that the network performance index value can also be obtained using machine learning methods, for example, using RNN (Recurrent Neural Network), LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory, long short-term memory neural network), NN (Neural Network) , network neural network), linear regression and other methods, train the model feature value or feature vector of each KPI of each grid in different time dimensions and different terminal type dimensions, and each grid in different time dimensions and different terminal type dimensions. The eigenvalues or eigenvectors of indicators of different business classifications are used to obtain network performance indicator values.

In some embodiments, when using machine learning methods to train the preset network model, the training data input must include the RSRP information of the two or more strongest neighboring cells measured by the current UE, and may also include but is not limited to The current cell's PRB (Physical Resource Block, physical resource block) utilization, RRC (Radio Resource Control, radio resource control) user number, noise floor and other information. Information such as PRB utilization, number of RRC users, and noise floor require periodic transmission of the latest data between base stations. And the first base station can set a certain period to continue collecting and learning, and continuously update the characteristic values of KPI.

It can be understood that the number of RSRP information of the strongest neighboring cells measured by the current terminal equipment can be 2, 3 or 4, etc. The greater the number of neighboring cells, the more accurate the measurement results will be, that is, the network performance index value. The more accurate it is.

Referring to FIG. 7 , FIG. 7 is a flow chart for obtaining the perceived service indicator value provided by an embodiment of the present application, including but not limited to steps S210-S230.

Step S210: Sample the terminal devices in the first grid to obtain a statistical sample set;

It should be noted that all terminal devices in each first grid may be sampled, or a part of the terminal devices in the first grid may be randomly sampled as a statistical sample set, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

Step S220: Classify the statistical sample set according to the preset time dimension and the preset terminal type dimension to obtain multiple sensing services;

In some embodiments, the statistical sample set is identified and classified according to the preset time dimension and the preset terminal type dimension to obtain multiple sensing services. For example, the sensing services of the terminal device can be classified into web pages, instant messaging, and social networking. Media category, video category, application download category, VONR category (Voice over New Radio, target voice solution for 5G network), can also be further subdivided into specific applications, etc.

It can be understood that the preset time dimension and the preset terminal type dimension in step S220 may be the same as or different from the preset time dimension and the preset terminal type dimension in step S110, that is, the preset time dimension may be any time interval. Or specific time points, for example, from 9 am to 12 am, from 1 pm to 2 pm, or on the 10th of every month, or every Wednesday, etc. The default terminal type dimension can be serial port terminal, pseudo terminal or physical Terminal etc.

Step S230: average the index values of the sensing service to obtain the sensing service index value.

In some embodiments, the index values of the classified sensing services are averaged to obtain the sensing service index values, thereby multi-dimensionally judging the network quality of the current terminal device.

It should be noted that before averaging the indicator values of classified sensing services, it is also necessary to count and record the indicators of this type of sensing services according to different time dimensions and terminal type dimensions. For example, web page indicators include web page response success rate. , web page response delay, etc. Instant messaging indicators include message sending success rate, message receiving success rate, etc. Video indicators include initial buffering delay, number of freezes, freeze recovery delay, etc., after recording the indicators of perceived services , and then calculate the average value of each perceived service indicator in different time dimensions and different terminal type dimensions of each raster, thereby obtaining the perceived service indicator value.

Referring to FIG. 8 , FIG. 8 is a flow chart for obtaining perceived service indicator values provided by another embodiment of the present application, including but not limited to step S250.

Step S250: Train the preset network model according to the index value of the sensing service to obtain the sensing service index value.

In some embodiments, the perceived service indicator value can also be obtained by training a preset network model based on the perceived service indicator value.

It can be understood that the preset network model in step S250 and the preset network model in step S130 may be the same or different, and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

It should be noted that when training the preset network model according to the indicator value of the sensing service, machine learning methods can be used. For example, machine learning can be used, such as RNN, LSTM, NN, linear regression and other methods. For example, using UE measured The RSRP values of the three cells with the strongest signals and the latest PRB utilization, number of RRC users, noise floor and other information transmitted between base stations are used as the input X vector, and the indicator value of a certain sensing service classification of the raster is used as the input Y Vector, assuming the feature value vector W of the service at hourly granularity of grid C1, then Y=W*X, the feature value vector W of the perception service at hourly granularity of grid C1 is obtained through training. The same method can be used to classify other perception services. Perform the same training to obtain the corresponding feature value vector. If the exploration of the first base station does not stop and the samples continue to increase, for example, every time the number of samples increases by 10,000, the first base station will re-train and update the perceived service indicator values of different service types at hourly granularity.

Referring to Figure 9, Figure 9 is a flow chart of a switching method of a terminal device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The switching method of the terminal device is applied to but not limited to the second base station of the system architecture, including but not limited to steps S310-S320.

It should be noted that the second base station obtains multiple cells through signal coverage, at least one cell in the second base station serves as an adjacent cell to the serving cell of the first base station, and the second base station constructs multiple second grids for the adjacent cells.

Step S310: Determine second grid information corresponding to the second grid according to the second grid;

It can be understood that the second grid can be obtained by dividing the service area according to the preset area or the preset row and column conditions, for example, dividing the area according to 50 square meters and 80 square meters to obtain multiple second grids; or The cells are evenly divided according to three rows and three columns, five rows and six columns, etc. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions.

It should be noted that the process of constructing rasters based on cells includes networks of different standards and different frequency bands. For example, constructing rasters for all cells of TDD NR, constructing rasters for all cells of FDD NR, or constructing rasters for all cells of LTE. The community also constructs grids, etc.

Step S320: Receive the measurement request sent by the first base station, and send the second grid information to the first base station according to the measurement request.

In some embodiments, the second base station determines the second grid information corresponding to the second grid based on the second grid, and receives the measurement request sent by the first base station, thereby sending the second grid to the first base station according to the measurement request. The grid information realizes the information interaction between the grid information in the first base station and the grid information in the second base station, which facilitates the first base station to compare the first grid information with the second grid information, thereby deciding whether the terminal device has a fault. switch.

It should be noted that after the first base station receives the handover request from the terminal device, the first base station processes the information in the handover request, and then sends the processed request to the second base station, so that the second base station determines the connection with the terminal device according to the request. The second grid corresponds to the first grid, and the second grid is sent to the first base station, thereby establishing a correspondence between the first grid and the second grid, which facilitates handover judgment by the first base station.

In order to explain the process of the switching method of the terminal device more clearly, a specific example will be used for explanation below.

Example one:

Example 1 is to determine whether to switch the terminal device based on the perceived service indicator value in the grid information;

Step 1: Establish the corresponding relationship between grid and grid;

In some embodiments, the raster is constructed according to the entire multi-frequency network, including constructing the raster in all cells of TDD NR, constructing the raster in all cells of FDD NR, and also constructing the raster in all cells of LTE. Let’s illustrate with four cells that are neighbors to each other: Base station A is a TDD NR base station, cell a is a cell in base station A, base station B is a TDD NR base station, cell b is a cell in base station B, base station C is an FDD NR base station, cell c is a cell in base station C, and base station D is an LTE base station, and cell d is a cell in base station D. Assume that the terminal resides in grid A1 in serving cell a. Assume that the handover threshold of base station A is -110dBm. The current terminal measures that the RSRP of the serving cell is -100dBm, which is greater than the handover threshold. If the base station is in the exploration phase, the base station The terminal can be ordered to measure cell c. If the RSRP of cell c measured and reported by the terminal is within a certain tolerance range, the base station orders the terminal to switch to cell c. At the same time, base station A notifies base station C of the grid A1 where the terminal is currently located. The terminal After UE1 switches to cell c, the corresponding grid is C1. At this time, the corresponding relationship between grid C1 and grid A1 is established.

Through this method, we can continue to establish the corresponding relationship between grids in other neighboring cells and A1. For example, assume that a terminal UE2 resides in grid A2 in serving cell a in base station A. The base station is in the exploration phase. The current terminal UE2 The measured RSRP of the serving cell is -120dBm, which is less than the base station's handover threshold. The base station can allow terminal UE2 to continue to reside in grid A2. After the base station collects the corresponding data, base station A notifies UE2 to measure cell c. If the terminal measures And the reported RSRP of cell c is within a certain tolerance range, then the base station orders the terminal to switch to cell c. At the same time, base station A notifies base station C of the grid A2 where terminal UE2 is currently located. After terminal UE2 switches to the corresponding grid of cell c, The grid is C2. At this time, the corresponding relationship between grid C2 and grid A2 is established. Using the above method, grids in each RSRP range of serving cell a can be established, and grid correspondences can be established with neighboring cells. In the same way, all cells in the multi-frequency network have the exploration function enabled, and the grid correspondence relationship of the entire network can be established.

Step 2: Taking grid C1 in step 1 as an example, according to the processing capabilities of the base station, during the exploration phase of the base station, randomly select some terminals in grid C1 as statistical samples, or use all terminals in grid C1 as samples. These samples are classified by time, such as 24 hours a day. If divided by hour granularity, they can be divided into 24 time granularities. It is further classified by terminal type. If the terminal type cannot be obtained, it does not need to be classified by terminal type. If there are insufficient training samples, it does not need to be classified by time. Whether to classify by time and terminal type can be configured in the background.

Step 3: Taking the grid C1 in the first step as an example, identify and classify the terminal samples in the grid C1 in the second step according to the perceived services. For example, the user's perceived services can be classified into web pages, instant messaging, and social networking. Media categories, video categories, application download categories, and VONR categories can also be further subdivided into specific applications.

Step 4: Taking the grid C1 in the first step as an example, for each classified sensing business in the grid C1 in the third step, count the indicators of each category of sensing business according to the hourly granularity. For example, the web page indicators include web pages. Response success rate, web page response delay, etc. Instant messaging indicators include message sending success rate, message reception success rate, etc. Video indicators include initial buffering delay, number of freezes, freeze recovery delay, etc.

Step 5: Taking grid C1 in step 1 as an example, when the terminal statistical samples reach a certain threshold, for example, the statistical samples exceed 60,000, calculate the different business classifications of each grid in different time dimensions and different terminal type dimensions. the average value of the indicators. Machine learning methods can also be used, for example, using RNN, LSTM, NN, linear regression and other methods, and based on the RSRP values of the three cells with the strongest signals measured by the UE and the latest PRB utilization passed between base stations, RRC users Number, noise floor and other information are used as the input The training obtains the eigenvalue vector W of the service at the hourly granularity of raster C1. In the same way, the same training can be performed on other service classifications to obtain the corresponding eigenvalue vector. If the exploration of the base station does not stop and the samples continue to increase, for example, every time the number of samples increases by 10,000, the base station will re-train and update the indicator characteristic values of different service types at hourly granularity.

Step 6: Take grid C1 in step 1 as an example. Grid C1 corresponds to base station C. Base station C transfers the average value or model feature vector of the indicators of different service types of the grid in step 5 to base station A corresponding to Grid A1.

Step 7: After the base station completes the above steps and stops exploring, if the terminal is in grid A1, the base station searches for the average service indicator value corresponding to the time period and the service type and the terminal type in grid C1, or calculates it using the model feature vector. the result of. The calculation method is to use the feature vector W passed from grid C1 and the RSRP values of the three cells with the strongest signals currently measured by the UE as the input X vector to obtain the output value. Use the same method to calculate the output value or find the index average value for the corresponding rasters in other neighboring areas. If there is a calculated service index value or the average index value is better than the current actual service index value, the base station will regard the target cell as a handover candidate cell. Calculation using machine learning methods or averaging methods can be configured through the background.

Example two:

Example 2 is to determine whether to switch the terminal device based on the network performance index value in the raster information;

Step 1: Establish the corresponding relationship between grid and grid;

In some embodiments, constructing a raster based on the entire multi-frequency network includes constructing a raster in all cells of TDD NR, constructing a raster in all cells of FDD NR, and also constructing a raster in all cells of LTE. Let’s take the four cells that are neighbors to each other as an explanation: base station A is a TDD NR base station, cell a is a cell in base station A, base station B is a TDD NR base station, cell b is a cell in base station B, and base station C is FDD NR. Base station, cell c is the cell in base station C, base station D is the LTE base station, and cell d is the cell in base station D. Assume that terminal UE1 resides in grid A1 in serving cell a. Assume that the handover threshold of base station A is -110dBm. The current terminal measures that the RSRP of the serving cell is -100dBm, which is greater than the handover threshold. If the base station is in the exploration phase, then The base station can order the terminal to measure cell c. If the RSRP of cell c measured and reported by the terminal is within a certain tolerance range, the base station orders the terminal to switch to cell c. At the same time, base station A notifies base station C of the grid A1 where the current terminal is located. After the terminal switches to cell c, the corresponding grid is C1. At this time, the corresponding relationship between grid C1 and grid A1 is established.

It can be understood that through this method, the corresponding relationship between grids in other neighboring cells and A1 can be continued to be established. For example, assume that a terminal resides in grid A2 in serving cell a in base station A, and the base station is in the exploration stage. , the current terminal UE2 measures that the RSRP of the serving cell is -120dBm, which is already less than the handover threshold, then the base station can allow the terminal to continue to reside in grid A2. After the base station collects the corresponding data, base station A notifies the measuring cell c that if the terminal If the measured and reported RSRP of cell c is within a certain tolerance range, the base station orders the terminal to switch to cell c. At the same time, base station A notifies base station C of the grid A2 where the terminal is currently located. The terminal switches to the corresponding grid of cell c. is C2. At this time, the corresponding relationship between grid C2 and grid A2 is established. Using the above method, grids in each RSRP range of serving cell a can be established, and grid correspondences can be established with neighboring cells. In the same way, all cells in the multi-frequency network have the exploration function enabled, and the grid correspondence relationship of the entire network can be established.

Step 2: Taking grid C1 in step 1 as an example, according to the processing capabilities of the base station, in the exploration phase, some terminal UEs are randomly selected as statistical samples in grid C1, or all terminal UEs in grid C1 are used as samples. These samples are classified by time, for example, divided into time periods of 0-6 o'clock, 7-9 o'clock, 10-18 o'clock, 19-21 o'clock, and 22-24 o'clock. It is further classified by terminal type. If the terminal type cannot be obtained, it does not need to be classified by terminal type. If there are insufficient training samples, classification can not be performed by time. Whether to classify by time and terminal type can be configured in the background.

Step 3: Taking grid C1 in the first step as an example, calculate the wireless KPI of grid C1 according to different terminal types in different time periods for the terminal samples in step 2, such as wireless access success rate, handover success rate, KPIs such as call drop rate, spectrum efficiency, average MCS, number of RRC user connections, uplink CQI excellent rate, etc.

Step 4: Taking grid C1 in step 1 as an example, when the terminal statistical samples reach a certain threshold, for example, the statistical samples exceed 60,000, then calculate each KPI of each grid in different time dimensions and different terminal type dimensions. average of. Machine learning methods can also be used, such as RNN, LSTM, NN, linear regression and other methods, such as the RSRP values of the three cells with the strongest signals measured by the UE and the latest PRB utilization passed between base stations, the number of RRC users , noise floor and other information, As the input The granularity is the eigenvalue vector W of the service. In the same way, the corresponding eigenvalue vector can be obtained by performing the same training on other business classifications. If the exploration of the base station does not stop and the samples continue to increase, for example, every time the number of samples increases by 10,000, the base station will re-train and update the indicator characteristic values of different service types at hourly granularity.

Step 5: Take grid C1 in step 1 as an example. Grid C1 corresponds to base station C. Base station C transfers the linear regression value of the KPI of grid C1 in step 4 to grid A1 corresponding to base station A.

Step 6: After the base station completes the above steps and stops exploring, if the terminal is in grid A1 and mainly performs downlink services, the base station searches for the KPI indicators corresponding to the time period, the service type and the terminal type in grid C1, such as downlink UE Throughput indicator average, or the result calculated using the model feature vector. The calculation method is to use the feature vector W passed from grid C1 and the RSRP values of the three cells with the strongest signals currently measured by the UE or including the downlink PRB utilization, the number of RRC users, etc. as the input X vector to obtain the output value. Use the same method to calculate the output value or find the index average value for the corresponding rasters in other neighboring areas. If there is a calculated service index value or the average index value is better than the current actual service index value, the base station will regard the target cell as a handover candidate cell. Calculation using machine learning methods or averaging methods can be configured through the background.
