Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technology, and specifically to a method and device for testing terminal power fallback. Background Art

[0002] At present, the standard organization has defined a test method for terminal power back-off within a single power level based on test instruments. The test goal is to verify whether the maximum transmit power back-off of the terminal due to the linearization of the RF device within a specific power level meets the requirements. The test method is to use a network simulator, fix the scheduling parameters and the power level, schedule the test terminal to the maximum transmit power, and then measure the power value.

[0003] The problems with this testing approach are:

[0004] 1) Single power level, the test method does not examine the fallback between different power levels;

[0005] 2) Due to the differences in the capabilities of different terminals, the conditions for triggering power fallback are different, so different test conditions and configurations need to be built for different terminals. In the current test method, the test conditions such as scheduling parameters are fixed and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the differences in the capabilities of different terminals;

[0006] 3) In order to trigger the terminal power fallback, it is necessary to simulate business scenarios with different uplink scheduling ratios in the same test. In the current test method, the uplink scheduling method is fixed, and the uplink business ratio is not used as a test condition. The uplink business ratio is an important factor in determining whether the terminal falls back between different power levels.

[0007] In actual tests by operators, there are also methods for testing different power level fallbacks based on real networks. Specifically, data packet filling is used as a high-duty cycle service and voice calls are used as a low-duty cycle service to observe whether the terminal transmission power changes under the two services.

[0008] The problems with this testing approach are:

[0009] 1) Different base station scheduling algorithms are not exactly the same. The uplink duty cycle of the same service may be different under different base stations. It is impossible to accurately control the uplink duty cycle, so it is impossible to ensure that the conditions for triggering fallback between different power levels are met, especially for terminals with different capabilities;

[0010] 2) It is not possible to flexibly adjust the scheduling parameters according to the uplink duty cycle capability parameters of the terminal, and it is not possible to take into account multiple terminals with different capabilities in one test case;

[0011] 3) There are many factors that affect the base station scheduling algorithm. It is impossible to ensure that the scheduling parameters of each test remain consistent, and the test is not repeatable;

[0012] 4) It is impossible to automate the test and the testing cost is high.

[0013] It can be seen that, whether through network simulator testing or in actual testing, the accuracy of existing terminal power backoff testing methods is not high. Summary of the invention

The techniques described herein may be used for the systems and radio technologies mentioned above as well as for other systems and radio technologies.

[0059] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the relationship between the uplink service duty cycle, the electromagnetic wave absorption rate, and the terminal transmission power is first introduced below.

[0060] The uplink service duty cycle refers to the proportion of symbols that undergo uplink scheduling within a certain period of time.

[0061] The terminal power class defines the maximum transmit power of the terminal. Taking 5G as an example, the default power class of the terminal is PowerClass3, corresponding to a maximum transmit power of 23dBm; more powerful terminals can support PowerClass2, corresponding to a maximum transmit power of 26dBm.

[0062] The electromagnetic absorption rate (SAR) refers to the electromagnetic wave energy absorption ratio of wireless terminal products, which is defined as the electromagnetic power absorbed or consumed by a unit mass of human tissue. The uplink service duty cycle, terminal transmit power and SAR value are closely related. The higher the uplink service ratio and the greater the terminal transmit power, the higher the SAR value. SAR is also closely related to terminal implementation. Under the same uplink service duty cycle and terminal transmit power, the SAR of different terminals may be different.

[0063] The 3GPP standard stipulates that when the actual uplink service duty cycle in a certain period of time exceeds the maximum uplink service duty cycle that the terminal can support, the terminal's maximum transmit power is limited and should fall back to the default power level. Taking 5G as an example, the terminal reports the maximum uplink service duty cycle supported by the maxUplinkDutyCycle parameter through signaling. If the terminal does not report, the default is 50%.

[0064] See also Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a terminal power fallback testing method, and the specific steps include: step 101 and step 102.

[0065] Step 101: measuring the maximum transmit power of the terminal under test configured with the first uplink scheduling template and the second uplink scheduling template respectively, and obtaining the first transmit power and the second transmit power;

[0066] In some embodiments, in step 101, uplink scheduling parameters are obtained from the first uplink scheduling template and the second uplink scheduling template, respectively; a first uplink scheduling instruction and a second uplink scheduling instruction are generated according to the uplink scheduling parameters obtained from the first uplink scheduling template and the second uplink scheduling template, respectively; the first uplink scheduling instruction and the second uplink scheduling instruction are sent to the terminal under test, and the maximum transmit power of the terminal under test is measured, respectively, to obtain a first transmit power and a second transmit power.

[0067] Step 102: judging whether a power fallback test of the terminal under test passes according to the first transmit power and the second transmit power;

[0068] Among them, the first uplink scheduling template and the second uplink scheduling template are both sets of uplink scheduling parameters, the proportion of the uplink scheduling time slot calculated based on the uplink scheduling parameters configured based on the first uplink scheduling template in the wireless frame is lower than the minimum value of the maximum uplink duty cycle supported by the terminal under test (for example, 50%), and uplink data transmission is performed based on the scheduling parameters configured based on the second uplink scheduling template, and the uplink data duty cycle is greater than the maximum uplink duty cycle (maxUplinkDutyCycle).

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, the method also includes: obtaining capability parameters reported by the terminal under test, the capability parameters carrying a maximum uplink duty cycle; according to the maximum uplink duty cycle of the terminal under test, and the mapping relationship between the maximum uplink duty cycle and the second uplink scheduling template, matching the corresponding second uplink scheduling template from the second uplink scheduling template set.

[0070] For example, receive and decode the capability parameters reported by the terminal under test, and obtain the maximum uplink duty cycle (maxUplinkDutyCycle) of the terminal under test; use the maximum uplink duty cycle value obtained from the terminal under test as the index value, and retrieve the second uplink scheduling template from the second uplink scheduling template set based on the mapping relationship between the maximum uplink duty cycle and the second uplink scheduling template set.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: configuring a second uplink scheduling template set according to a value of a maximum uplink duty cycle, wherein each second uplink scheduling template in the second uplink scheduling template set corresponds to a different value of the maximum uplink duty cycle.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, step 102 includes: determining whether the first transmit power is within a first threshold range, and determining whether the second transmit power is within a second threshold range; if the first transmit power is within the first threshold range, and the second transmit power is within the second threshold range, the power backoff test of the terminal under test passes; if the first transmit power is not within the first threshold range, or the second transmit power is not within the second threshold range, the power backoff test of the terminal under test fails.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, step 102 includes: determining whether the first transmit power is within a first threshold range, whether the second transmit power is within a second threshold range, and whether the difference between the first transmit power and the second transmit power is within a third threshold range; if the first transmit power is within the first threshold range, the second transmit power is within the second threshold range, and the difference between the first transmit power and the second transmit power is within the third threshold range, then the power backoff test of the terminal under test passes; if the first transmit power is not within the first threshold range, or the second transmit power is not within the second threshold range, or the difference between the first transmit power and the second transmit power is not within the third threshold range, then the power backoff test of the terminal under test fails.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, the uplink scheduling parameters in the first uplink scheduling template and the second uplink scheduling template include one or more of the following combinations: (1) a time slot for uplink data transmission within a wireless frame; (2) a frame structure configuration of a wireless frame; (3) a wireless resource block scheduled in a time slot.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: configuring a first uplink scheduling template and a second uplink scheduling template set.

[0076] For example, a first uplink scheduling template is configured, and the proportion of uplink scheduling time slots calculated by uplink scheduling parameters configured in the first uplink scheduling template in the radio frame is lower than the default maximum uplink duty cycle (50%) defined in the standard.

[0077] For another example, according to the value of the maximum uplink duty cycle (maxUplinkDutyCycle) defined in the standard, a second uplink scheduling template set is configured, and the second uplink scheduling template in the second uplink scheduling template set satisfies: there is a one-to-one mapping relationship between each maximum uplink duty cycle value and the second uplink scheduling template.

[0078] The maximum uplink duty cycle value and the second uplink scheduling template that form the mapping relationship must satisfy: uplink data transmission is performed according to the scheduling parameters defined in the second uplink scheduling template, and the uplink data duty cycle is greater than the maximum uplink duty cycle.

[0079] The uplink scheduling template refers to a set of uplink scheduling parameters. For FDD mode, the uplink scheduling parameters include but are not limited to the time slots for uplink data transmission in each radio frame and the radio resource blocks scheduled in each time slot; for TDD mode, the uplink scheduling parameters include but are not limited to the frame structure configuration, the time slots for uplink data transmission in each radio frame, and the radio resource blocks scheduled in each time slot.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, by presetting an uplink scheduling template set, different uplink scheduling ratio scenarios are simulated in the same test, and a comparative test with and without power backoff can be formed, thereby reducing the test complexity, improving the test automation level and improving the accuracy of the power backoff test.
