[0031] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other in any way.

[0032] In addition, in the embodiments of this application, words such as "optionally" or "exemplarily" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "optionally" or "exemplarily" in the embodiments of this application should not be interpreted as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "optionally" or "exemplarily" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a location prediction method provided by an embodiment of the present application. This method can be applied to an AI server, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0034] S101. A server obtains a measurement report message sent by a base station.

[0035] Optionally, the server may be an AI server, which may be a separate network element or a network element disposed within a base station. The measurement report message obtained by the server may include historical location measurement information reported by at least one UE and / or historical location measurement information of at least one UE measured by the base station.

[0036] S102. The server determines predicted location information of at least one UE at a first time point or a first time period according to the measurement report message.

[0037] The first time point or first time period in this step can be understood as a certain time point or a certain time period in the future, that is, after the server obtains the historical location measurement information reported by at least one UE, and / or the historical location measurement information of at least one UE measured by the base station, the predicted location information of at least one UE at a certain time point or multiple time points in the future (that is, a certain time period) can be determined based on the obtained information.

[0038] The predicted location information may include one or more of the following: predicted latitude and longitude coordinates, predicted cell identifier, predicted altitude information, predicted connection beam identifier information with a certain cell, and predicted tracking area information (TA).

[0039] S103. The server sends notification information to the base station according to the predicted location information.

[0040] The notification information in this embodiment may carry information indicating the predicted location of a UE, or may be optimization operation information generated by a server based on the predicted location information. In this way, the base station may perform an optimization operation based on the optimization operation information sent by the server, or determine and perform a relevant optimization operation based on the predicted location information sent by the server.

[0041] An embodiment of the present application provides a location prediction method in which a server obtains a measurement report message sent by a base station. The measurement report message includes historical location measurement information reported by at least one UE and / or historical location measurement information of at least one UE measured by the base station. The server determines the predicted location information of the at least one UE at a first point in time or a first time period based on the measurement report message, and sends a notification message to the base station based on the predicted location information. By introducing measurement information from multiple dimensions, the accuracy of predicting the UE location can be effectively improved.

[0042] In one example, the historical location measurement information reported by at least one UE included in the measurement report may include speed information and / or signal transmission angle (Angle-of-Departure, AOD) measurement information, and the historical location measurement information of at least one UE measured by the base station included in the measurement report includes signal arrival angle (Angle of Arrival, AOA) measurement information. By introducing speed information and AOD measurement information, the accuracy of predicting the UE location can be effectively improved. Furthermore, based on the UE's measurement of speed information and AOD measurement information, combined with the UE's AOA measurement information measured by the base station, the accuracy of predicting the UE location can be further improved.

[0043] Exemplarily, the historical location measurement information reported by the at least one UE further includes at least one of the following: a UE identifier, at least one historical time point, and location information (e.g., longitude and latitude coordinates) of at least one historical time point, wherein the UE identifier corresponds to the at least one historical time point, the location information, the speed information, and / or the AOD measurement information. The historical location measurement information of at least one UE measured by the base station further includes at least one of the following: a UE identifier, at least one historical time point, and the UE identifier corresponds to the at least one historical time point and the AOA measurement information.

[0044] In an example, when the server is a separate network element, the above step S101 may be implemented by the server obtaining the measurement report sent by the base station through the interface between the server and the base station;

[0045] In the case that the server is a network element inside the base station, the above step S101 may be implemented by the server obtaining the measurement report sent by the base station through an interface inside the base station.

[0046] Accordingly, in the case where the server is a separate network element, the above step S103 may be implemented by the server sending the notification information to the base station through the interface between the server and the base station;

[0047] In the case that the server is a network element inside the base station, the above step S103 may be implemented by the server sending the notification information to the control plane of the base station through an interface inside the base station.

[0048] In one example, when the server determines the predicted location information of at least one UE at a first time point or a first time period, it can select an ML algorithm for model training and model prediction based on relevant data information in the measurement report to predict the location of at least one UE at one or more future time points.

[0049] Furthermore, the server can generate optimization operation information based on the determined predicted location information and send a notification message carrying the optimization operation information to the base station via a RAN operation request message, causing the base station to perform the optimization operation based on the optimization operation information. Alternatively, the server can directly send the predicted location information to the base station in a notification message, and the base station can determine and perform the corresponding optimization operation based on the predicted location information.

[0050] The optimization operation information generated by the server may include at least one operation instruction and at least one parameter corresponding to the operation.

[0051] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a location prediction method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to a base station, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0052] S201. The base station sends a measurement report message to the server.

[0053] Exemplarily, the measurement report message in this step may include historical location measurement information reported by at least one UE and / or historical location measurement information of at least one UE measured by the base station;

[0054] The above-mentioned server may be an AI server, which may be a separate network element or a network element arranged inside a base station.

[0055] S202. The base station obtains notification information sent by the server according to the measurement report message.

[0056] Optionally, the notification information may carry predicted location information or optimized operation information. The predicted location information is the predicted location information of at least one UE at a first time point or a first time period determined by the server based on the measurement report after the server receives the measurement report sent by the base station. For example, the predicted location information may include one or more of the following: predicted latitude and longitude coordinates, predicted cell identifier, predicted altitude information, predicted connection beam identifier information with a certain cell, and predicted tracking area (TA) information.

[0057] The optimization operation information may be information generated by the server according to the predicted position information, and the optimization operation information may include at least one operation instruction and at least one parameter corresponding to the operation.

[0058] The above-mentioned first time point or first time period can be understood as a certain time point or a certain time period in the future, that is, the server determines the predicted location information of at least one UE at a certain time point or multiple time points in the future (that is, a certain time period).

[0059] S203: The base station performs optimization operations according to the notification information.

[0060] Optionally, when the notification information carries optimization operation information, the base station can directly perform optimization operations based on the notification information; when the notification information carries predicted location information, the base station determines to perform corresponding optimization operations based on the predicted location information.

[0061] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned optimization operation indication may include UE switching indication, cell off / on indication, radio resource activation / deactivation indication, power adjustment indication, radio resource management (Radio Resource Management, RRM) parameter reconfiguration indication, offloading operation indication, protocol layer parameter reconfiguration indication, etc.

[0062] Furthermore, during the process of the base station performing optimization operations, if the optimization operation involves at least one UE, for example, based on the predicted location information, the corresponding UE is switched to another target base station, the base station can send a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) reconfiguration message or an RRC release message to the UE connected to this base station to notify it to perform relevant operations.

[0063] In one example, the historical location measurement information reported by at least one UE includes speed information and / or signal transmission angle AOD measurement information, and the historical location measurement information of at least one UE measured by the base station includes signal arrival angle AOA measurement information.

[0064] In one example, when the server is a separate network element, step S201 can be implemented by the base station sending a measurement report through the interface between the base station and the server; or, when the server is a network element inside the base station, step S201 can be implemented by the base station sending a measurement report to the server through its internal interface.

[0065] Accordingly, when the server is a separate network element, the implementation method of step S202 can be that the base station obtains the notification information through the interface between it and the server; or, when the server is a network element inside the base station, the implementation method of step S202 can be that the base station obtains the notification information through its internal interface.

[0066] like Figure 3 In one example, before executing step S201, the embodiment of the present application further provides an implementation method including but not limited to the following steps:

[0067] S301. A base station sends historical location measurement control information to at least one determined UE.

[0068] Exemplarily, the manner in which the base station determines the at least one UE mentioned above may include: the base station receives an activation message sent by the core network, the activation message carries first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate policy information, and the policy information includes at least one type of object identification information. For example, at least one UE identifier, at least one cell identifier, at least one public network PLMN identifier, at least one non-public network identifier, at least one base station identifier, and at least one tracking area (Tracking Area Code, TAC) identifier. Among them, the UE identifier is used to indicate which UEs are to be position predicted, and the TAC identifier is used to indicate in which areas the UE's position is to be predicted and tracked.

[0069] The base station determines at least one UE based on at least one type of object identification information. For example, the base station determines at least one UE based on the UE's identification, cell identification, etc. Furthermore, the base station transmits historical location measurement control information to the determined at least one UE.

[0070] S302. The base station receives historical location measurement information reported by at least one UE according to historical location measurement control information.

[0071] The implementation process of steps S301 and S302 above is further described in detail below using a specific example. For example, when the server is a separate network element, the core network may send an activation message (ML Activation Message) to the server through the interface between the core network and the server. The activation message may carry first indication information. Furthermore, the activation message may also carry second indication information and third indication information. The second indication information may be used to indicate whether a function for predicting the UE location is activated, and the third indication information may be used to instruct the activation server to use a machine learning (ML) function.

[0072] Optionally, the above-mentioned policy information may further include communication quality indicator information, where the communication quality indicator information is used to indicate the communication quality that the object corresponding to the object identifier needs to achieve.

[0073] After receiving the activation message, the server may send an ML session setup request message (ML SESSION SETUP REQUEST) to the base station. This session setup request message is used to configure the base station-side measurement data required for a specific ML session. Optionally, the message may also include an ML session identifier, location prediction measurement control information (e.g., UE speed information, uplink AOA measurement information, downlink AOD measurement information), and policy information.

[0074] Optionally, the base station may also receive a message sent by the core network, such as a UE initial context setup request message, a handover request message, or a trace start message. Optionally, the message sent by the core network may carry at least one of the following: an indication of whether the UE supports and enables minimized drive-tests (MDT) location prediction measurements. In this way, the base station can determine at least one UE for which location prediction is required by combining the policy information with the message sent by the core network.

[0075] Furthermore, the base station may configure historical location measurement control information for the determined at least one UE based on the policy information and location prediction measurement control information in the ML session establishment request message sent by the server. For example, the base station configures whether the UE measures speed information and / or AOD measurement information, and sends the historical location measurement control information to the at least one UE connected to the base station via an RRC establishment message or a reconfiguration message.

[0076] Optionally, the base station may also configure whether it needs to measure historical location measurement information (eg, AOA measurement information) of at least one determined UE.

[0077] If both the base station and UE measurements are configured successfully, the base station may send an ML session establishment response message to the server, which may include a configuration success indication. If either the base station or UE measurement configuration fails, the ML session establishment response message may include a configuration failure indication. Optionally, the ML session establishment response message sent by the base station to the server may also include an ML session identifier.

[0078] If both the base station and UE measurements are configured successfully, the base station and the at least one UE may measure relevant information according to the configuration. For example, the base station may measure AOA measurement information of the at least one UE, and the at least one UE may measure speed information and / or AOD measurement information.

[0079] Optionally, historical location measurement information measured by at least one UE based on the historical location measurement control information may be carried in an MDT measurement configuration information element of an RRC setup message or reconfiguration message and sent to the base station. The base station then sends the historical location measurement information reported by the at least one UE to the server in the form of a measurement report. Similarly, historical location measurement information of the at least one UE measured by the base station itself may also be sent to the server in the form of a measurement report. Optionally, when the base station sends the measurement report to the server, it may carry the ML session identifier to which it belongs.

[0080] It is understandable that when the server is an internal network element of the base station, the core network can directly send an activation message to the base station. Accordingly, the server and the base station do not need to establish an ML session message, but can directly exchange relevant information through the internal interface of the base station.

[0081] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a position prediction device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the apparatus may include: an acquisition module 401, a determination module 401, and a sending module 403;

[0088] Alternatively, when the server is a network element inside the base station, the acquisition module may acquire the measurement report sent by the base station through an interface inside the base station.

[0089] In an example, the historical location measurement information reported by at least one UE may further include at least one of the following: a UE identifier, at least one historical time point, and location information of at least one historical time point, wherein the UE identifier corresponds to the at least one historical time point, the location information, the speed information, and / or the AOD measurement information;

[0090] The historical location measurement information of at least one UE measured by the base station further includes at least one of the following: a UE identifier, at least one historical time point, and the UE identifier corresponds to the at least one historical time point and the AOA measurement information.

[0092] In an example, the above-mentioned device may further include a generation module, which is used to generate optimized operation information based on the predicted position information, wherein the optimized operation information includes at least one operation instruction and a parameter corresponding to at least one operation.
