[0067] 3. Enhance the accuracy of user experience perception: Complaint data and signaling data are combined to analyze users' actual perceived experience. This enables the location of network issues to no longer rely solely on overall network indicators, but to better reflect the true feelings of individual users, thereby enabling targeted network optimization and improving user satisfaction.

[0068] 4.

[0074] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0075] It should be understood that the specific embodiments and drawings described herein are only used to explain the present invention rather than to limit the present invention.

[0077] It can be understood that, for the convenience of description, the drawings of the present invention only show parts related to the present invention, while parts unrelated to the present invention are not shown in the drawings.

[0078] It can be understood that each unit and module involved in the embodiments of the present invention may correspond to only one physical structure, or may be composed of multiple physical structures, or multiple units and modules may be integrated into one physical structure.

[0079] It will be understood that, without conflict, the functions and steps marked in the flowcharts and block diagrams of the present invention may occur in an order different from that marked in the drawings.

[0080] It is understood that the flowcharts and block diagrams of the present invention illustrate the possible architectures, functions, and operations of the systems, devices, equipment, and methods according to various embodiments of the present invention. Each box in the flowchart or block diagram may represent a unit, module, program segment, or code, which contains executable instructions for implementing the specified functions. Moreover, each box or combination of boxes in the block diagram and flowchart may be implemented using a hardware-based system that implements the specified functions, or may be implemented using a combination of hardware and computer instructions.

[0081] It is understandable that the units and modules involved in the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented by software or hardware. For example, the units and modules may be located in a processor.

[0082] Example 1:

[0083] The mobile communication network problem analysis method provided by the present invention is particularly suitable for network usage scenarios in the daily lives of office workers. During the day, users are concentrated in busy business districts and around office buildings, and problems such as signal congestion, slow network speed or disconnection are prone to occur, affecting the work efficiency and communication experience of office workers; at night, they are mainly concentrated in residential communities, commercial districts or entertainment and leisure places. The needs of users and network pressures are different, which may lead to different performance bottlenecks. Through this method, operators can accurately identify affected cell areas in different time periods, combine user complaints, signaling data and performance indicators, quickly locate the root cause of network anomalies, and perform optimization and maintenance in advance to ensure that users can enjoy stable and high-quality mobile communication services on their way to and from get off work and during leisure and entertainment periods, thereby greatly improving user satisfaction and overall network operation efficiency.

[0084] like Figure 1 As shown, the mobile communication network problem analysis method includes the following steps:

[0085] Obtain complaint data, signaling data and network performance indicator data in the mobile network management system; complaint data carries mobile communication network problems, and signaling data, network performance indicator data and complaint data are associated through user identification.

[0086] Specifically, signaling data and network performance indicator data are retrieved from the mobile network management system using Kafka. This data is typically retrieved from the mobile network management system using Kafka, a crucial tool for achieving large-scale, real-time data transmission and efficient processing. In modern communications network architectures, operators collect and push various signaling information (such as control signals for user access, handovers, and disconnections) and performance indicators (such as signal strength, network throughput, latency, and connection quality) to the Kafka streaming platform in real time. Kafka's high throughput, multi-consumer subscriptions, and distributed storage enable real-time transmission, storage, and analysis of massive amounts of data, providing strong support for network fault detection, optimized scheduling, and improved user experience. This approach not only ensures data timeliness and integrity but also facilitates subsequent in-depth analysis and root cause identification, significantly enhancing the intelligence and responsiveness of network operations.

[0087] In addition to Kafka, signaling data and network performance metrics can be acquired using a variety of other tools and technologies, including message queue systems like RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ, as well as APIs provided by enterprise-level monitoring platforms (such as Nagios, Zabbix, and Grafana) or dedicated network management systems (such as NetAct and NetCracker). Furthermore, data can be extracted from network devices and management systems and transferred to analysis platforms using the SNMP protocol, log collection tools, or customized ETL (extraction, transformation, loading) scripts. This allows for real-time or batch acquisition of signaling and performance metrics, meeting data collection requirements in various scenarios.

[0088] Using Kafka tools offers many distinct advantages for data collection and transmission. First, Kafka boasts high throughput and low latency, enabling it to process massive amounts of signaling data and network performance metrics, ensuring real-time performance and reliability. Second, it boasts a distributed architecture that supports horizontal scalability, adapting to the expansion needs of large-scale network environments and ensuring system stability and resilience. Furthermore, Kafka provides powerful data persistence and fault-tolerance mechanisms, ensuring data is not lost and data security is maintained even when some nodes fail. Furthermore, Kafka supports multi-consumer subscriptions, facilitating the pushing of data streams to different analysis platforms or storage systems, enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of data processing. In summary, Kafka's high performance, scalability, and robust ecosystem give it distinct advantages in massive, real-time data transmission scenarios, making it one of the preferred tools for modern large-scale network data processing.

[0089] The user's permanent area is determined based on the signaling data; and the cell with poor user-perceived quality is determined based on the complaint data.

[0090] As a specific implementation, determining the user's resident area based on signaling data specifically includes the following steps:

[0091] Divide signaling data into daytime and nighttime time periods;

[0092] Based on the daytime time period, the user's connection time for each CELL_ID is counted to find the first CELL_ID with the longest residence time; and based on the nighttime time period, the user's connection time for each CELL_ID is counted to find the second CELL_ID with the longest residence time;

[0093] The geographical area corresponding to the first CELL_ID is used as the user's office area; and the geographical area corresponding to the second CELL_ID is used as the user's home area;

[0094] The user's permanent area is obtained by summarizing the office area and home area.

[0095] Target cells are identified based on the resident area and cells with poor user-perceived quality. Specifically, the target cells are determined by performing an intersection analysis of the resident area and cells with poor user-perceived quality. In other words, all cells that are both within the resident area and rated as poor quality by user experience constitute the target cells. This approach helps pinpoint key areas requiring priority attention or optimization, effectively improving overall service quality and user experience.

[0096] Filter the performance indicator data of the target cell from the network performance indicator data.

[0097] Based on a preset threshold, abnormal data is identified from the performance indicator data of the target cell.

[0098] As a specific implementation, based on a preset threshold, identifying abnormal data from the performance indicator data of the target cell specifically includes:

[0099] If the overlapping coverage in the performance indicator data of the target cell is greater than a preset overlapping coverage threshold, it is determined that the overlapping coverage is abnormal; and / or,

[0100] If the MR good coverage rate in the performance indicator data of the target cell is less than a preset good coverage rate threshold, it is determined that the MR good coverage rate is abnormal; and / or,

[0101] If the uplink interference in the performance indicator data of the target cell is greater than a preset uplink interference threshold, then the uplink interference is determined to be abnormal; and / or,

[0102] If the modulo 3 or modulo 30 in the analog-to-digital interference in the performance indicator data of the target cell is greater than the preset analog-to-digital interference threshold, it is determined that the analog-to-digital interference is abnormal; and / or,

[0103] If the handover success rate in the performance indicator data of the target cell is less than a preset handover success rate threshold, it is determined that the handover success rate is abnormal; and / or,

[0104] If the PRB utilization in the performance indicator data of the target cell is greater than a preset PRB utilization threshold, it is determined that the PRB utilization is abnormal; and / or,

[0105] If there is a station disconnection alarm or a service outage alarm in the performance indicator data of the target cell, it is determined that the base station is abnormal.

[0106] Modulo 3 and Modulo 30 are specialized terms in the mobile communications field, primarily used to assess interference issues in wireless networks caused by improper physical cell identifier (PCI) layout. In 4G LTE networks, if the PCIs of adjacent cells have the same remainder when divided by 3 (i.e., the modulo 3 values ​​are identical), reference signal overlap can occur, causing interference and impacting signal quality and communication stability for terminal devices. In 5G NR networks, if the PCIs of adjacent cells have the same remainder when divided by 30 (i.e., the modulo 3 values ​​are identical), this can cause uplink reference signal sequence conflicts, leading to interference and degrading uplink transmission performance. When evaluating the performance metrics of a target cell, if the Modulo 3 or Modulo 30 interference intensity exceeds a preset threshold, it is identified as an Modulo 3 interference anomaly. Prompt investigation and optimization efforts are necessary to ensure normal network operation and communication quality.

[0107] Based on abnormal data, the root cause of mobile communication network problems is located, thereby completing the analysis of mobile communication network problems.

[0108] As a specific implementation method, root cause location of mobile communication network problems based on abnormal data includes:

[0109] Based on the abnormal overlapping coverage, it is determined that the problem of the mobile communication network is an antenna tilt problem or excessive power; and / or,

[0110] Determining that the mobile communication network problem is a weak coverage problem based on the abnormality of the MR good coverage; and / or,

[0111] According to the uplink interference anomaly, determining that the mobile communication network problem is an uplink interference problem that is too high; and / or,

[0112] Determining that the mobile communication network problem is a parameter configuration problem based on the analog-to-digital interference anomaly; and / or

[0113] Determining that the mobile communication network problem is a system interoperability problem based on the abnormal handover success rate; and / or

[0114] Determining that the problem of the mobile communication network is excessive resource load based on abnormal PRB utilization; and / or

[0115] Based on the base station abnormality, it is determined that the mobile communication network problem is a base station failure problem.

[0116] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows Figure 2As shown, this embodiment mainly introduces a network problem root cause analysis method based on signaling data. It mainly analyzes the user's permanent location and movement trajectory through MR, XDR, and alarm data, and then locates the problem cell based on the user's service perception. The root cause of the problem is then located through network data analysis, thereby improving processing efficiency, increasing user satisfaction with complaint handling, and enhancing corporate reputation. The specific process includes the following:

[0117] Step S1: Connect to the mobile network management system through the Kafka tool to collect complaint order data, signaling data, MR data, B domain data, PM data, etc. in real time.

[0118] The specific signaling data is shown in Table 1, the B-domain order data is shown in Table 2, the PM data is shown in Table 3, and the MR data is shown in Table 4.

[0135] Domain B order data records the order data related to the user's business operations, including payment, package change, new package, account cancellation, etc. Table 3: PM data:

[0136]

[0137] Performance Management (PM) data is mainly used to monitor and optimize network performance. PM data is used to evaluate the usage of existing network resources and to make reasonable resource allocation and planning based on this data.

[0138] Table 4: MR data:

[0139]

[0140] MR data records network-level signal reception strength, uplink interference, and other records, which can be used to trace the user's coverage performance when using the network.

[0141] Step S2: Analyze the user's permanent area through signaling data, including the permanent base station cell at work and the permanent base station cell at home.

[0142] The user's daily CELL_ID dwell time is grouped and sorted. The maximum dwell time between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM is counted as CELL_ID_day, and the maximum dwell time between 9:00 PM and 5:00 AM is counted as CELL_ID_night. The user's work-resident base station cell is considered CELL_ID_day, while the user's home-resident base station cell is considered CELL_ID_night. Step S3: Analyze the user's service perception, including service rate and latency, in all cells along the user's trajectory using signaling data.

[0143] The user's service trajectory is traced and analyzed through signaling data, and the user's service volume, uplink and downlink rates, service delay, etc. in each cell are calculated.

[0144] S4: Filter out the user's resident cells and poorly perceived cells, which are areas where users are prone to complaints.

[0145] First, it is determined whether the cells in the calculation result include the user's permanent cell. If so, it is determined whether the user's downlink delay exceeds 200ms. If so, the list of these cells is entered into step S5.

[0146] S5: Analyze multi-dimensional indicators from dimensions such as coverage, interference, access performance, and alarms through MR data and PM data.

[0147] The corresponding relationship between problem classification and indicator definition is shown in Table 5:

[0148]

[0149] S6: Based on the data results from various dimensions and combined with the empirical thresholds commonly used in network optimization, network problems are located and the root cause is determined.

[0150] If the overlap coverage is greater than 40%, it is judged that there is a problem with the antenna tilt angle or the power is too high;

[0151] If the MR good coverage is less than 50%, it is judged as a weak coverage problem;

[0152] If the uplink interference is greater than -90dBM, it is judged that the uplink interference is too high;

[0153] If the modulo 3 or modulo 30 is greater than 20%, it is judged to be a parameter configuration problem;

[0154] If the handover success rate is less than 90%, it is considered a system interoperability problem;

[0155] If the PRB utilization rate is greater than 70% during busy hours, it is judged that the resource load is too high and capacity expansion is required;

[0156] If there is a site disconnection alarm, it is considered a fault problem.

[0157] This embodiment emphasizes analyzing network issues from the user's perspective, rather than relying solely on traditional network indicator testing. Traditional methods primarily define the scope of faults by analyzing various network indicators, but these methods may not directly reflect the user's service experience, thus affecting the efficiency of problem location and resolution. To improve the overall effectiveness of network optimization, data analysis should be combined to identify network issues that truly impact user perception, and expert experience should be used to diagnose the root causes. Specific methods include using MR and PM data to conduct multi-level, multi-angle analysis across multiple dimensions, including coverage, interference, access performance, and alarm information, to accurately locate network root causes, helping operators implement more targeted optimizations and effectively improve work efficiency and overall service quality.

[0158] This embodiment proposes a mobile communication network problem analysis method with user perception as the core, emphasizing the use of multi-dimensional information such as signaling data, MR data, and PM data to conduct a comprehensive analysis from multiple aspects such as coverage, interference, access performance, and alarms, and accurately identify key network problems that affect user experience. This method uses tools such as Kafka to achieve real-time transmission and efficient processing of massive data, thereby achieving rapid positioning of user resident areas, service perception conditions, and potential fault points. It combines expert experience and preset thresholds to determine the root cause, helping operators to optimize the network in a targeted manner. This user experience-oriented analysis system can not only improve the accuracy and response speed of problem location, but also effectively improve user satisfaction, improve the overall network operation efficiency and service quality, and meet the needs of modern large-scale, intelligent network management.
