Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and particularly to a measurement report positioning method, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In a mobile communication network, the technology of positioning measurement report (MR) data is widely used in the fields of network planning and network optimization. Users can use the positioning results of measurement reports to evaluate and analyze network coverage, quality, interference, capacity, and abnormal events, and formulate network planning and network optimization plans based on the evaluation and analysis results. Among them, the measurement report is the main means for the network side to obtain terminal wireless information in a mobile communication system, mainly including two parts: uplink measurement and downlink measurement information. The downlink measurement information is collected by the terminal measurement and reported to the base station through the Measurement Report signaling of the air interface, and the uplink measurement information is measured and collected by the base station. The measurement report is further divided into event type and periodic type. The periodic measurement report is usually used to evaluate indicators such as network coverage, interference, quality, performance, and traffic volume, and is applied to wireless network planning and network optimization work based on the evaluation results.

[0003] With the large-scale construction of 5G networks, higher requirements have been put forward for the positioning accuracy of measurement reports of 5G cells in the fields of 5G network planning and network optimization.

[0004] However, in the current network environment, since the NR (New Radio) protocol of 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) does not support the location information reported by the UE (user equipment), it is currently impossible to accurately position the measurement reports of 5G cells. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a measurement report positioning method, an electronic device, and a storage medium, so as to enable accurate positioning of measurement reports of 5G cells.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a measurement report positioning method, including: determining the second location information of the measurement report of a second cell according to the first location information of the measurement report of a first cell, where the first location information is obtained by a UE in a dual-connection state, and the UE is connected to the first cell and the second cell respectively in the dual-connection state.

[0007] Embodiments of the present invention also provide an electronic device, including: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and when the instructions are executed by the at least one processor, the at least one processor is enabled to execute the above measurement report positioning method.

[0008] Embodiments of the present invention also provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which implements the above measurement report positioning method when executed by a processor.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, embodiments of the present invention determine the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first position information of the measurement report of the first cell by obtaining the first position information of the measurement report of the first cell, wherein the first position information is obtained by a UE in a dual-connectivity state, and the UE is connected to the first cell and the second cell respectively in the dual-connectivity state. Since the UE in the dual-connectivity state reports the measurement reports of the 4G cell (the first cell) and the 5G cell (the second cell), and the positions of the measurement reports of the reported 4G cell are the same as those of the measurement reports of the 5G cell, the position information of the measurement reports of the 5G cell can be determined according to the position information of the measurement reports of the 4G cell, thereby realizing the precise positioning of the measurement reports of the 5G cell.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that in the embodiments of the present invention, many technical details are provided to help readers better understand the present application. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions required to be protected by the present application can still be implemented. The following division of each embodiment is for convenience of description and should not constitute any limitation to the specific implementation manner of the present invention. Each embodiment can be combined and cross-referenced with each other on the premise of not being contradictory.

[0021] The first embodiment of the present invention relates to a measurement report positioning method, which determines the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first position information of the measurement report of the first cell. Among them, the first position information is obtained by the UE in the dual-connection state, and the UE is connected to the first cell and the second cell respectively in the dual-connection state. Since the measurement report of the first cell (4G cell) reported by the UE in the dual-connection state is in the same position as the measurement report of the second cell (5G cell), the position information of the 5G cell measurement report can be determined according to the position information of the 4G cell measurement report, thereby realizing the precise positioning of the 5G cell measurement report.

[0022] It should be noted that the execution subject of the measurement report positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be a server, where the server can be implemented by a single server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers. Optionally, the measurement report positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a non-standalone networking (NSA, Non-Stand Alone), where NSA refers to a network architecture that uses existing 4G infrastructure for the deployment of a 5G network. Based on the NSA architecture, the 5G carrier only carries user data, and its control signaling is still transmitted through the 4G network. Of course, the measurement report positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can also be applied to other similar network architectures.

[0023] The specific process of the measurement report positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as Figure 1 shown and specifically includes the following steps:

[0024] S101: Obtain the first position information of the measurement report of the first cell, where the first position information is obtained by the UE in the dual-connection state, and the UE is connected to the first cell and the second cell respectively in the dual-connection state.

[0025] In a specific example, the first cell is a 4G cell and the second cell is a 5G cell. Here, a cell is a wireless logical area that provides services to users, and the same cell under the same base station is usually identified by a Cell ID on the system side.

[0026] In the existing NSA networking mode, due to the high cost of the 5G core network and its lower maturity compared to 4G, 5G base stations preferentially connect to the 4G core network. Therefore, in the NSA mode, the UE uses the 4G as the master node (MN) and the 5G as the secondary node (SN) in the dual-connection state. Of course, with the development of the network, the UE may later use the 5G as the master node (MN) and the 4G as the secondary node (SN) in the dual-connection state, which will not affect the specific implementation of the measurement report positioning method in the embodiments of the present invention. Among them, the base station, that is, the public mobile communication base station, is a form of radio station, which refers to a radio transceiver station that transmits and receives information between a mobile communication switching center and a mobile phone terminal in a certain radio coverage area. In the WCDMA network, different base stations under the same RNC (Radio Network Controller) are usually identified by the NodeBID. In the LTE network, different base stations in the same local network are usually identified by the EnodeBID. The MN (master node) uses a 4G cell as the anchor point for the control plane in the NSA network and is mainly used for signaling interaction with the UE. The SN (secondary node) uses a 5G cell as the secondary node for the user plane in the NSA network and is mainly used for transmitting service data to the UE.

[0027] It can be understood that the 4G cell refers to a cell in a certain 4G network, and the 5G cell refers to a cell in a certain 5G network. In addition, since the first cell and the second cell are the cells connected by the UE in the dual-connection state, the actual network modes of the first cell and the second cell are not limited, as long as they meet the condition of being respectively connected by the UE in the dual-connection state. In the current network architecture, the first cell and the second cell are cells in different network modes.

[0028] Optionally, the first location information may specifically be GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) location information reported by the UE, or may also be location information of the type reported by the UE, and no specific limitation is imposed herein. Taking the GNSS location information as an example, when the UE accesses the network, if in the UECapabilityInformation message reported by the UE, it is indicated as standaloneGNSS-Location-r10supported in the UE-BasedNetwPerfMeasParameters-r10 structure, it indicates that the UE supports reporting GNSS location information. The base station may request the UE to carry GNSS location information in the measurement report (MR) by sending an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message with includeLocationInfo-r10 true configured in measConfig. Among them, the method for the UE to report GNSS information is described in 3GPP TS36.331 and 36.355 protocols.

[0029] S102: Determine the second location information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first location information of the measurement report of the first cell.

[0030] Optionally, determining the second location information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first location information of the measurement report of the first cell may be directly using the first location information as the second location information, or may be obtaining the second location information according to the first location information after certain correction.

[0031] It can be understood that there may be multiple measurement reports of the first cell and the second cell. For example, in the case where the measurement reports are generated periodically. When determining the second location information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first location information of the measurement report of the first cell, the measurement reports of the first cell and the second cell with the same or similar generation time points may be selected within the time range when the UE is in the dual-connection state, and then the second location information of the measurement report of the second cell is determined according to the selected measurement report of the first cell. For example, the measurement report of the first cell with the same time stamp as or within a certain time range of the time stamp of the measurement report of the second cell may be selected, and then the second location information of the measurement report of the second cell is determined according to the first location information of the selected measurement report of the first cell. The specific determination method may be set according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is imposed in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] The measurement report positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention obtains the first position information of the measurement report of the first cell, and determines the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first position information of the measurement report of the first cell. Among them, the first position information is obtained by the UE in the dual-connectivity state, and the UE is connected to the first cell and the second cell respectively in the dual-connectivity state. Since the UE in the dual-connectivity state reports the measurement reports of the 4G cell (the first cell) and the 5G cell (the second cell), and the positions of the reported measurement reports of the 4G cell and the 5G cell are the same, the position information of the measurement report of the 5G cell can be determined according to the position information of the measurement report of the 4G cell, so as to achieve precise positioning of the measurement report of the 5G cell.

[0033] The second embodiment of the present invention relates to a measurement report positioning method. The second embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment, and the main difference is that: in the embodiment of the present invention, before determining the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first position information of the measurement report of the first cell, it further includes: identifying the same dual-connectivity identifier for the measurement reports of the first cell and the second cell; and determining the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first position information of the measurement report of the first cell includes: screening out the measurement reports of the first cell with the same dual-connectivity identifier as the measurement report of the second cell as the first measurement report, and determining the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first position information of the first measurement report. By identifying the same dual-connectivity identifier for the measurement reports of the first cell and the second cell, it is convenient to distinguish the measurement reports of the first cell and the second cell reported by the UE in the dual-connectivity state; and screening out the measurement reports of the first cell with the same dual-connectivity identifier as the measurement report of the second cell and determining the second position information of the second cell according to the screened measurement reports can determine the measurement reports of the first cell and the second cell at the same position, so as to achieve the positioning of the measurement report of the second cell.

[0034] The specific process of the measurement report positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as Figure 2 shown, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0035] S201: Identify the same dual-connectivity identifier for the measurement reports of the first cell and the second cell.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3 , which is an example diagram of identifying the dual-connectivity identifier in the measurement report positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3Taking the first cell as a 4G cell and the second cell as a 5G cell as an example, where the UE is connected to the 4G network as the master node (MN) and the 5G network as the secondary node (SN) in the dual-connection state. The measurement report of the 4G cell reported is LTE MR, and the measurement report of the 5G cell reported is NR MR. The TimeStamp in the MR is the timestamp of the MR, and the EN-DC ID is the dual-connection identifier. Specifically, after the MN cell where the UE is located recognizes that the UE has had an SN addition event, the MR sets of the MN cell and the SN cell corresponding to this dual-connection instance of the UE are both marked with the same dual-connection identification number. For example, Figure 3 as shown, the same dual-connection identifier "EN-DC ID = 1" is marked on the LTE MR and the NR MR respectively.

[0037] It can be understood that Figure 3 the dual-connection identifier shown is only an example, and in actual applications, it can be set to other contents or forms, which are not specifically restricted here. In addition, Figure 3 in it, the NR MR is identified through the X2 interface according to the dual-connection identifier of the LTE MR. In actual applications, as long as the measurement reports of the first cell and the second cell are marked with the same dual-connection identifier, it is not limited to Figure 3 the way shown.

[0038] Since the UE may move, and the first cell or the second cell actually connected by the UE may change during the movement. To ensure that the measurement reports of the cells connected by the UE in the current dual-connection state all have the same dual-connection identifier, which is convenient for subsequent positioning of the measurement reports according to the same dual-connection identifier. In a specific example, after marking the measurement reports of the first cell and the second cell with the same dual-connection identifier, it further includes: if the first cell or the second cell undergoes a handover, the dual-connection identifier is passed to the measurement report of the cell after the handover.

[0039] Optionally, when the first cell or the second cell undergoes a handover, the dual-connection identifier of the measurement report of the cell before the handover is passed to the measurement report of the cell after the handover. For example, if the first cell undergoes a handover, the dual-connection identifier of the measurement report of the first cell before the handover is passed to the measurement report of the first cell after the handover.

[0040] Since there are multiple UEs in the dual-connection state in the same PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network), to distinguish different UEs, the dual-connection identifier corresponding to each UE should be globally unique within a preset time, where the preset time can be set according to actual needs, such as 3 days or more.

[0041] S202: Select the measurement report of the first cell with the same dual-connection identifier as the measurement report of the second cell as the first measurement report.

[0042] S203: Determine the second location information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first location information of the first measurement report.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 4 , which is an example diagram for determining the second location information in the measurement report positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, obtain the GNSS location information from the first measurement report (MN MR), and fill the obtained GNSS location information into the measurement report of the second cell (SN MR).

[0044] In a specific example, S202 can also be: select the measurement report of the second cell with the same dual-connection identifier as the measurement report of the first cell as the second measurement report; correspondingly, S203 can be: determine the second location information of the second measurement report according to the measurement report of the first cell.

[0045] The measurement report positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can conveniently distinguish the measurement report of the first cell and the measurement report of the second cell reported by the UE in the dual-connection state by using the same dual-connection identifier for the measurement reports of the first cell and the second cell; while selecting the measurement report of the first cell with the same dual-connection identifier as the measurement report of the second cell and determining the second location information of the second cell according to the selected measurement report, the measurement reports of the first cell and the second cell at the same location can be determined, thereby realizing the positioning of the measurement report of the second cell.

[0046] The third embodiment of the present invention relates to a measurement report positioning method. The third embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment, and the main difference is that: in the embodiment of the present invention, determining the second location information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first location information of the measurement report of the first cell can specifically be: determining the second location information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first location information of the measurement report of the first cell within a first preset time range, which may include: determining whether there is a measurement report of the first cell within the first preset time range, and if there is a measurement report of the first cell, determining the second location information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first location information of the measurement report of the first cell. Determining the location information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the location information of the measurement report of the first cell within the first preset time range, by reasonably setting the first preset time range, a measurement report of the first cell with the same or similar generation time as the measurement report of the second cell to be determined can be selected, thereby effectively realizing the positioning of the measurement report of the second cell.

[0047] The specific process of the measurement report positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows Figure 5 as shown, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0048] S301: Determine whether there is a measurement report of the first cell within the first preset time range.

[0049] S302: If there is a measurement report of the first cell, determine the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first position information of the measurement report of the first cell.

[0050] Among them, the first preset time range can be set according to actual needs. Optionally, the first preset time range is determined according to the measurement period of the measurement report of the second cell. For example, if the measurement period of the measurement report of the second cell is Psn, and the generation time of the measurement report of the second cell to be located is Tsn, then the first preset time range can be set to be from Tsn - 1 / 2*Psn to Tsn + 1 / 2*Psn. An example diagram of selecting the measurement report of the first cell according to the first preset time range is as follows Figure 6 as shown. In Figure 6 , if there is a measurement report of the first cell within the range of Tsn - 1 / 2*Psn to Tsn + 1 / 2*Psn, then determine the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell with the generation time of Tsn according to the first position information of the measurement report within this range.

[0051] Optionally, if there are two or more measurement reports of the first cell within the first preset time range, one of the measurement reports of the first cell can be randomly selected to determine the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell, or the measurement report with the generation time closest to the generation time of the measurement report of the second cell can be selected to determine the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell. For example, in the above example, if the generation time of the measurement report of the first cell is Tmn, then the measurement report of the first cell with the smallest |Tmn - Tsn| can be selected. Optionally, if there is no measurement report of the first cell within the first preset time range, then the positioning operation of the measurement report of the second cell is not performed.

[0052] The measurement report positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention determines the position information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the position information of the measurement report of the first cell within the first preset time range. By reasonably setting the first preset time range, a measurement report of the first cell with the same or similar generation time as the measurement report of the second cell to be determined can be selected for positioning, thereby effectively realizing the positioning of the measurement report of the second cell.

[0053] The fourth embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for positioning measurement reports. The fourth embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment, and the main difference is that: in the embodiment of the present invention, the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell is determined according to the first position information of the measurement report of the first cell. Specifically, it may be: determining the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell within a second preset time range according to the first position information of the measurement report of the first cell, which may include: pushing the measurement report of the first cell to the second cell, and using the time when the second cell receives the pushed measurement report or the generation time of the pushed measurement report as the first time point, determining a third measurement report and a fourth measurement report from the measurement reports generated by the second cell according to the first time point. If the time difference between the generation time of the third measurement report and the generation time of the pushed measurement report is less than a preset duration, then using the third measurement report as the measurement report of the second cell within the second preset time range, and determining the second position information of the third measurement report according to the first position information; if the time difference between the generation time of the fourth measurement report and the generation time of the pushed measurement report is less than a preset duration, then using the fourth measurement report as the measurement report of the second cell within the second preset time range, and determining the second position information of the fourth measurement report according to the first position information. By comparing the time differences between the third measurement report, the fourth measurement report and the pushed measurement report, the measurement report of the second cell closest to the generation time of the pushed measurement report can be determined, so as to determine the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first position information of the pushed measurement report, and realize the positioning of the measurement report of the second cell.

[0054] The specific process of the method for positioning measurement reports provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as Figure 7 shown, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0055] S401: Push the measurement report of the first cell to the second cell, and use the time when the second cell receives the pushed measurement report or the generation time of the pushed measurement report as the first time point.

[0056] Optionally, pushing the measurement report of the first cell to the second cell means pushing one of the measurement reports of the first cell to the second cell, and the specific generation time of the pushed measurement report is not limited, and it may be the latest generated measurement report or the measurement report generated at any time point.

[0057] It can be understood that in the case of network latency, the time when the second cell receives the pushed measurement report is different from the generation time of the pushed measurement report.

[0058] S402: Determine a third measurement report and a fourth measurement report from the measurement reports generated from the second cell according to the first time point, where the third measurement report is the latest measurement report generated by the second cell during the period before the first time point, and the fourth report is the first measurement report generated by the second cell during the period after the first time point.

[0059] S403: If the time difference between the generation time of the third measurement report and the generation time of the pushed measurement report is less than or equal to a preset duration, then use the third measurement report as the measurement report of the second cell within the second preset time range, and determine the second location information of the third measurement report according to the first location information.

[0060] Among them, the preset duration can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here. Optionally, the preset duration is half of the measurement period of the measurement report of the second cell. It can be understood that by using the preset duration to determine whether the third measurement report is within the second preset time range, it means that the second preset time range is determined according to the preset duration. Therefore, the second preset time range can also be determined according to the measurement period of the measurement report of the second cell. By reasonably setting the second preset time range, it is possible to determine the measurement reports of the second cell at the same or similar time as the pushed measurement report, so as to locate these measurement reports according to the location information of the pushed measurement report.

[0061] S404: If the time difference between the generation time of the fourth measurement report and the generation time of the pushed measurement report is less than or equal to a preset duration, then use the fourth measurement report as the measurement report of the second cell within the second preset time range, and determine the second location information of the fourth measurement report according to the first location information.

[0062] It can be understood that when using the generation time (such as a time stamp) of the pushed measurement report as the first time point, the generation time of the pushed measurement report is between the generation time of the third measurement report and the generation time of the fourth measurement report. By using the preset duration to determine the measurement reports of the second cell within the second preset time range, it is essentially to determine whether the generation time of the pushed measurement report is closer to the generation time of the third measurement report or the generation time of the fourth measurement report, so as to determine the measurement reports of the second cell with a closer generation time to the pushed measurement report. And when using the time when the second cell receives the pushed measurement report as the first time point, the judgment logic is basically the same as the above. The difference is that due to the existence of network latency, it may occur that the time differences between the generation times of the third measurement report and the fourth measurement report and the time of the pushed measurement report do not meet the condition of being less than or equal to the preset duration. At this time, optionally, the positioning operation of the measurement report of the second cell can be not executed.

[0063] Optionally, if the generation time of the third measurement report or the fourth measurement report is equal to the preset duration as that of the pushed measurement report, the third measurement report and / or the fourth measurement report can be selected as the measurement report of the second cell within the second preset time range, and then the second position information of the third measurement report and / or the fourth measurement report can be determined according to the first position information of the pushed measurement report.

[0064] Taking the half of the measurement period (Psn) of the measurement report of the second cell as the preset duration (i.e., 1 / 2*Psn) as an example, if the generation time of the third measurement report is Tcurrent, the generation time of the fourth measurement report is Tnew, and the generation time of the pushed measurement report is Tmn, it can be first determined whether Tmn - Tcurrent is less than or equal to 1 / 2*Psn. If so, the third measurement report is used as the measurement report to be located within the second preset time range of the second cell for positioning; if not, it is determined whether Tnew - Tmn is less than or equal to 1 / 2*Psn. If so, the fourth measurement report is used as the measurement report to be located within the second preset time range of the second cell for positioning, as Figure 8 shown. Optionally, if both Tmn - Tcurrent and Tnew - Tmn are greater than 1 / 2*Psn, it indicates that the pushed measurement report has expired, and the positioning of the measurement report of the second cell is not performed.

[0065] The measurement report positioning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can determine the measurement report of the second cell closest to the generation time of the pushed measurement report by comparing the time differences between the third measurement report, the fourth measurement report and the pushed measurement report, so as to determine the second position information of the measurement report of the second cell according to the first position information of the pushed measurement report, and realize the positioning of the measurement report of the second cell.

[0066] In addition, those skilled in the art can understand that the step division of the above various methods is only for clear description.
