Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, device and electronic device for determining the installation of a customer premise equipment (CPE). Background Art

[0002] CPE is a device that receives base station signals and forwards them as wireless signals. Whether an area is suitable for CPE installation depends on the quality of the wireless network in the area. Therefore, how to accurately evaluate the quality of the wireless network in the current area becomes a key factor in whether the CPE installation proposal is reasonable.

[0003] In the related art, the quality of wireless network in a certain area is generally analyzed by obtaining simulation data generated by simulation tools. However, the use of simulation data cannot accurately obtain the occupancy of existing network resources; it is difficult to accurately simulate the quality of the edge of wireless network coverage through simulation data; and due to building obstruction, signal interference and other reasons in the existing network, even if the simulated cell indicator data is very good, the actual signal received by the terminal may be very poor.

[0004] Due to the above reasons, it is currently difficult to accurately evaluate the wireless network quality in a certain area, and the resulting CPE installation recommendations often deviate significantly from the actual situation of the existing network. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a method, device and electronic device for determining the installation of a CPE, which can solve the problem of unreasonable CPE installation recommendations resulting from the inability to obtain accurate wireless network quality.

[0017] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a flow chart of a method for determining the installation of a CPE provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, and the method can be executed by an electronic device, such as a base station, a core network device, or other server-side device. Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0019] S102: Acquire wireless network quality in a target area, wherein the wireless network quality is obtained based on measurement reports reported by terminals in the target area.

[0020] In this embodiment, the terminal may report a measurement report to the base station providing services for the terminal. In this way, when the execution subject of this embodiment is the base station, the base station may obtain the wireless network quality of the target area based on the measurement report. When the execution subject of this embodiment is an electronic device other than the base station, the electronic device may obtain the measurement report from the base station and obtain the wireless network quality of the target area based on the measurement report; or, the electronic device may also directly obtain the wireless network quality generated by the base station.

[0021] In this embodiment, the measurement report reported by the terminal may include at least one of the following: location information of the terminal, primary coverage cell information of the terminal, signal reception power of the terminal, reception level strength of the terminal, maximum available rate of the terminal, etc.

[0022] In this embodiment, the wireless network quality of the target area may include the congestion status of the main coverage cell of the target area, the power level strength of the target area, the signal coverage and resource usage of the target area, etc.

[0023] Optionally, the wireless network quality of the target area can be obtained not only based on the measurement report reported by the terminal in the target area, but also with reference to other factors, such as indicator data of the base station cell.

[0024] S104: Determine whether the target area is suitable for installing a CPE based on the wireless network quality.

[0025] In various embodiments of the present application, whether the target area is suitable for installing a CPE can also be described as: whether the target area is suitable for CPE allocation, whether the target area is suitable for deploying CPE, etc.

[0026] In one example, the wireless network quality includes the congestion status of the main coverage cell of the target area. In this step, if the main coverage cell is congested, the target area is not suitable for installing CPE; if the main coverage cell is not congested, the target area is suitable for installing CPE.

[0027] In one example, the wireless network quality includes the power level strength of the target area. In this step, when the power level strength supported by the CPE meets a certain threshold requirement, the target area is suitable for installing the CPE; when the power level strength supported by the CPE does not meet the above threshold requirement, the target area is not suitable for installing the CPE.

[0028] The CPE installation determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application uses the measurement report reported by the terminal in the target area to obtain the wireless network quality of the target area, and determines whether the target area is suitable for installing the CPE based on the wireless network quality. The measurement report reported by the terminal ensures the objective accuracy of the usage data, thereby obtaining a more reliable CPE number placement recommendation, reducing the trial and error cost brought to the operator's customers, and improving the efficiency of CPE number placement operation and maintenance.

[0029] The CPE installation determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application can determine the feasibility of CPE number release; can be used to provide guidance and suggestions when deploying CPE number release in the existing network; can be applied to analysis tools to guide CPE number release planning, and can combine with geographic components to provide visual CPE number release suggestions.

[0030] In the existing network, each area may be covered by multiple cells. Figure 1 The embodiment shown can also identify the primary coverage cell of the target area, and use the coverage quality and resource conditions of the primary coverage cell as the basis for determining when the CPE in the target area is released; wherein the primary coverage cell is the cell that provides the main signal service for the target area. Optionally, Figure 1 The illustrated embodiment may further include the following step: determining a primary coverage cell that provides signal services for the target area based on the cell information carried in the measurement report.

[0031] The primary coverage cell in the target area needs to meet at least one of the following requirements:

[0032] 1) The signal received power in the measurement report reported by the terminal using the primary coverage cell as the serving cell meets the first threshold requirement, for example, the signal received power is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

[0033] 2) The number of terminals using the primary coverage cell as a service cell is greater than the number of terminals using cells other than the primary coverage cell as a service cell.

[0034] The measurement report reported by the terminal may carry information about the primary coverage cell and the signal receiving power, etc. In one example, when the measurement report of the primary coverage cell of cell A in the target area meets the following two requirements at the same time, cell A is identified as the primary coverage cell of the target area: 1) In the measurement report of the primary coverage cell of cell A, the signal receiving power meets the first threshold requirement; 2) The sample proportion of the measurement report of the primary coverage cell of cell A is the highest.

[0035] Optionally, based on the above examples, the wireless network quality may further include a congestion state of a primary coverage cell, and determining whether the target area is suitable for installing a CPE based on the wireless network quality may include at least one of the following:

[0036] 1) When the congestion state of the primary coverage cell is congested, the target area is not suitable for installing CPE.

[0037] 2) When the congestion status of the primary coverage cell is not congested, the target area is suitable for installing a CPE.

[0038] The method provided in this embodiment also includes the following steps: determining the congestion state based on a first indicator of the primary coverage cell, wherein the first indicator includes at least one of the following: 1) downlink physical resource block utilization; 2) maximum number of connected users; 3) user experience rate. For example, if the downlink physical resource block utilization of the primary coverage cell is greater than or equal to 70%, the maximum number of connected users is greater than 25, and the user experience rate is less than 1 Mbps, then the primary coverage cell is determined to be congested.

[0039] The above-mentioned determination of the congestion state based on the first indicator of the primary coverage cell includes: determining the congestion state based on the first indicator of the primary coverage cell within a target time period; wherein the target time period is determined based on the cell data traffic of the primary coverage cell, so that the determined congestion state of the primary coverage cell is more reasonable. The target time period may be the self-busy hour of the primary coverage cell, wherein the self-busy hour may be the hour with the highest data traffic of the primary coverage cell in the twenty-four hours of each day.

[0040] Optionally, based on the above examples, the wireless network quality may include the level strength of the target area, and determining whether the target area is suitable for installing the CPE based on the wireless network quality includes at least one of the following:

[0041] 1) When the level strength supported by the CPE for reception meets a second threshold requirement (for example, greater than or equal to the second threshold), the target area is suitable for installing the CPE.

[0042] 2) When the power level strength supported by the CPE for reception does not meet the second threshold requirement (for example, is less than the second threshold), the target area is not suitable for installing the CPE.

[0043] A previous embodiment mentioned that when the main coverage cell is congested, the target area is not suitable for installing CPE, and when the main coverage cell is not congested, the target area is suitable for installing CPE. The two embodiments can be combined to form an embodiment as follows: when the main coverage cell is not congested and the level strength supported by the CPE for reception meets the second threshold requirement, the target area is suitable for installing CPE; when the main coverage cell is congested or the level strength supported by the CPE for reception does not meet the second threshold requirement, the target area is not suitable for installing CPE.

[0044] This embodiment has two decision processes, namely, the decision of whether the primary coverage cell is congested, and the decision of whether the level strength supported by the CPE for reception meets the second threshold requirement. This embodiment does not limit the execution order of these two decision processes.

[0045] In this embodiment, the level strength supported by the CPE for reception is determined based on the gain of the CPE and a level strength reference value. For example, the level strength supported by the CPE for reception = the gain of the CPE + the level strength reference value. The level strength reference value is determined based on multiple coverage level strengths in multiple measurement reports within the target area. For example, the level strength reference value is: the average, median or corrected value of multiple coverage level strengths in multiple measurement reports within the target area.

[0046] In the above embodiments, when the intensity of the received level supported by the CPE meets the second threshold requirement, the target area is suitable for installing the CPE, including: when the intensity of the received level supported by the CPE meets the second threshold requirement, and the number of measurement reports obtained in the target area meets the third threshold requirement (for example, greater than or equal to the third threshold), the target area is suitable for installing the CPE.

[0047] Optionally, based on the above examples, when it is determined that the target area is suitable for installing CPE, the method may further include the following steps: obtaining the maximum available rate that can be obtained by the terminal in the target area; and determining the rate index of the installed CPE based on the maximum available rate.

[0048] In this embodiment, the maximum available rate is determined based on the maximum available rate in the measurement report and the rate gain of the CPE, for example, the maximum available rate = the maximum available rate in the measurement report + the rate gain of the CPE; wherein the rate gain of the CPE is determined based on the remaining physical resource blocks in the main coverage cell and the CPE rate gain brought by each physical resource block, for example, the rate gain of the CPE = the remaining physical resource blocks in the main coverage cell * the CPE rate gain brought by each physical resource block.

[0049] In this embodiment, the method may further include the following step: determining the remaining physical resource blocks of the primary coverage cell based on the following formula:

[0050] The remaining physical resource blocks of the primary coverage cell = (1 - the utilization rate of the physical resource blocks of the primary coverage cell) * the available physical resource blocks of the primary coverage cell.

[0051] The available physical resource blocks of the primary coverage cell are related to the bandwidth of the primary coverage cell.

[0052] To explain the installation determination method of the CPE of the embodiment of the present application in detail, a specific embodiment will be described below.

[0053] This embodiment is used to provide reasonable suggestions on which areas can be used for CPE number release and which number release packages can be supported in the areas where numbers can be released when CPE is deployed on the existing network. The supported number release packages can be determined based on the rate index of the CPE.

[0054] This embodiment uses the measurement report actually reported by the terminal in the existing network to solve the defect of using simulation data in the previous technology. The flow chart is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it mainly includes the following four steps:

[0055] 1) Identification of the main coverage cell in the area.

[0056] 2) Determination of the congestion status of the primary coverage cell.

[0057] 3) Make CPE number allocation decisions based on regional coverage quality.

[0058] 4) Evaluate the supported number allocation packages based on regional capacity information.

[0059] The following will be combined Figure 2 The above four steps are introduced in detail.

[0060] First, for the identification of the main coverage cell of the area, the following method is used: since each measurement report in the area carries the information of the main coverage cell, when the number of measurement report sample points of a certain cell A as the main coverage cell in the area accounts for the largest proportion, and the signal receiving power meets the coverage strength requirements, then the cell A is identified as the main coverage cell of the area.

[0061] Secondly, the resource usage of the main coverage cell of the area can be analyzed to determine whether the main coverage cell of the area is in a congested state. The analysis of the cell resource usage mainly uses the indicator data of the base station cell. If the main coverage cell is a congested cell, the area with the congested cell as the main coverage cell cannot be CPE numbered. If the main coverage cell is a non-congested cell, proceed to the next step.

[0062] Then, the CPE number placement decision is made based on the regional coverage quality. The regional coverage quality mainly depends on the average coverage level strength of the area, while considering the signal gain brought by the CPE gain antenna, and comprehensively determine whether the area can be CPE-placed and the type of CPE that is suitable for placement.

[0063] Finally, for areas where numbers can be allocated, the supported allocation packages are further evaluated based on the regional capacity information. Regional capacity information, that is, the calculation of the maximum available rate of the area, uses the rate information carried in the measurement report and the resource usage of the main coverage cell to comprehensively calculate the maximum available rate of the area, and then compares it with the rate package set by the user to obtain the allocation package that the area can support.

[0064] The embodiments of the present application have the following features:

[0065] 1) Identification of the main coverage cell in the area. Using the main coverage cell information carried in the measurement report of the existing network user, the information of the main coverage cell that can provide signal services to the area can be more accurately identified.

[0066] 2) Introduce the concept of congested cells. Since the resource provider that CPE relies on is the primary coverage cell of the base station, the new CPE deployment must meet the requirement that there are sufficient idle resources in the existing network. Otherwise, it is not recommended to deploy CPE deployment in the relevant area.

[0067] 3) The feasibility of CPE deployment is evaluated through regional coverage quality. The coverage level strength index actually reported by users in the area is used in combination with CPE gain information to accurately determine the actual signal strength that the CPE can receive.

[0068] 4) For areas that support number release, further evaluate the rate packages that can be released. It is necessary to calculate the maximum rate that can be obtained in the area, and based on this rate, check whether it meets the requirements of the number release package, and finally give evaluation recommendations.

[0069] The method provided by the implementation of this application is based on the measurement report data reported by the wireless terminal user, the base station cell indicator data, and the engineering parameter data to identify the main coverage cell of the area, determine whether the main coverage cell is congested, and further combine the regional coverage quality and the maximum obtainable rate of the area to comprehensively determine the feasibility of CPE number release in a certain area and the specific number release packages that can be supported. Specifically, the following steps may be included:

[0070] Step 1: Identify the primary coverage cell of the area.

[0071] In the existing network, each area may be covered by multiple cells. It is necessary to identify the main coverage cell of the area and use the coverage quality and resource conditions of the main coverage cell as the basis for determining when allocating numbers in the area.

[0072] The identification of the main coverage cell of the area is determined by analyzing the measurement report data reported by the terminal users of the existing network in the area. Since each measurement report data can carry the information and signal receiving power of the main coverage cell, when the measurement report of the main coverage cell of cell A in the area meets the following two requirements at the same time, cell A is identified as the main coverage cell of the area:

[0073] 1) The signal receiving power in the measurement report of the cell A as the primary coverage cell meets the first threshold requirement, for example, the signal receiving power is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

[0074] 2) The sample proportion of measurement reports with cell A as the main coverage cell is the highest.

[0075] Step 2: Determine the cell congestion status.

[0076] When determining the cell congestion status, the cell indicator data of the previous week's self-busy hours can be used. If the main coverage cell of the area is in a congested state, CPE number placement in the area will not be possible. The cell congestion status determination includes the following process:

[0077] 1) Obtain hourly cell indicator data, including cell data traffic, cell downlink physical resource block utilization, cell maximum number of connected users, cell user experience rate, etc.

[0078] 2) Determine the community's self-busy hour for the previous week. The method for determining the self-busy hour is: the hour with the highest traffic among the 24 hours of the day is the self-busy hour of the day.

[0079] 3) Cell congestion is determined by using the downlink physical resource block utilization, maximum number of connected users, and user experience rate of the cell during the busy period last week. When each indicator simultaneously meets the following threshold requirements (the default threshold requirements are shown in Table 1), the cell is determined to be a congested cell.

[0080] Table 1 Cell congestion status determination indicator threshold requirements

[0081] Indicator name Threshold requirements Cell downlink physical resource block utilization Greater than or equal to 70% Maximum number of connected users in a cell Greater than 25 User Experience Rate in a Cell Less than 1Mbps

[0082] Step 3: Make CPE number allocation decisions based on regional coverage quality.

[0083] For areas where the primary coverage cell is not in congestion, the feasibility of CPE number allocation is further determined, including the following steps:

[0084] 1) Determine the type of CPE that can be used based on the existing network planning. There are indoor CPE and outdoor CPE. Since the equipment parameters of the two types of CPE are different, different processes are required for determination.

[0085] 2) For outdoor CPE, if both of the following conditions are met at the same time, it is determined that the outdoor CPE in the area can be allocated:

[0086] a: The number of sample points in the regional measurement report meets the threshold requirement.

[0087] b: The receiving level strength of the outdoor CPE terminal meets the threshold value requirement. The receiving level strength of the outdoor CPE terminal = outdoor CPE gain + regional coverage level strength, where the outdoor CPE gain can be manually configured by the existing network planner, and the regional coverage level strength is the average of the coverage level strengths carried in the measurement report within the area.

[0088] 3) For indoor CPE, if the following two conditions are met at the same time, it is determined that the indoor CPE in the area can be allocated:

[0089] a: The number of sample points in the regional measurement report meets the threshold requirement.

[0090] b: The receiving level strength of the indoor CPE terminal meets the threshold value requirement. The receiving level strength of the indoor CPE terminal = indoor CPE gain + regional coverage level strength, where the indoor CPE gain can be manually configured by the existing network planner, and the regional coverage level strength is the average of the coverage level strengths carried in the measurement report within the area.

[0091] Step 4: For the area where numbers can be allocated, further calculate the maximum available rate that users in the area can obtain, so as to evaluate the applicable rate packages for the area. Using the measurement report data in the area and the indicator data of the main coverage cell, the maximum rate that users in the area can obtain is calculated through the following steps.

[0092] 1) Extract the index information of the main coverage cell in the area to calculate the remaining physical resource blocks of the cell, the remaining physical resource blocks of the cell = (1-cell physical resource block utilization rate) * cell available physical resource blocks, where the cell available physical resource blocks are converted from the cell bandwidth according to Table 2.

[0093] Table 2 Cell bandwidth and physical resource block mapping table

[0094] Cell bandwidth (MHZ) The number of physical resource blocks available in the cell 20 100 15 75 10 50 5 35 3 15 1.4 6

[0095] 2) Based on the maximum available rate carried in each measurement report reported by the wireless terminals in the area, the CPE rate gain is added to obtain the maximum available rate that can be obtained when the CPE in the area is released. The formula is:

[0096] The theoretical maximum rate of a CPE user = the maximum available rate reported in the measurement report + the CPE rate gain.

[0097] Among them, CPE rate gain = remaining physical resource blocks in the cell * CPE rate gain brought by each physical resource block. The CPE rate gain brought by each physical resource block is generally manually configured by the existing network planner.

[0098] 3) Calculate the average of the maximum available rates for all users in the area, and obtain the average of the maximum rates that can be obtained by CPE release in the area. Use this rate to compare with the rate requirement of the CPE release package set by the user. If it is greater than the rate requirement of the CPE release package, it proves that the area supports this release package.

[0099] The embodiment of the present application can use the measurement report data reported by the existing mobile terminals, combined with the base station cell-related indicator information, to propose a method for analyzing the feasibility of CPE number release. The analysis method ensures the objective accuracy of the data used, thereby obtaining more reliable CPE number release recommendations, reducing the trial and error costs brought to the operator's customers, and improving the efficiency of CPE number release operation and maintenance.

[0100] When performing a feasibility analysis on CPE number allocation, the embodiment of the present application adds measurement report data reported by existing wireless terminals. Since each measurement report is directly reported by an existing terminal, the analysis based on the measurement report data ensures the objectivity and accuracy of the guidance and suggestions.

[0101] The location information carried in the measurement report can be used to establish an affiliation with the region. Then, the measurement report data reported by the region can be used, combined with the indicator data of the main coverage cell in the region, to comprehensively analyze the network quality of the region, provide more accurate suggestions for CPE allocation, and improve the efficiency of operators in guiding CPE allocation.
