[0029] Example 1

[0030] Figure 1 A flowchart of a beam transmission power adjustment method is provided for the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to improving the congestion level of a cell. The method can be performed by a beam transmission power adjustment device. The beam transmission power adjustment device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The beam transmission power adjustment device can be configured in a computer. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0031] S110: Obtain beam information of each cell within the control range, and generate a beam transmission pattern according to the beam information.

[0032] Among them, the cell refers to the area covered by wireless signals, generally refers to the range that the signal of a base station can cover. The control range refers to the control range of the Near Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller (Near-RT RIC), and there are multiple cells within the control range of the Near-RT RIC. The beam refers to the beam emitted by the base station antenna in the cell. The Near-RT RIC can generate a beam transmission pattern based on the beam information of each cell. The beam transmission pattern includes the neighboring relationship of each cell, the beam contained in each cell, and the transmission direction of the beam.

[0033] Preferably, obtaining the beam information of each cell within the control range includes: sending a beam information acquisition request to each cell within the control range; receiving the beam information fed back by each cell based on the beam information acquisition request, wherein the beam information includes the beams included in each cell and the emission direction of the beam.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 The diagram shows the connection between the controller and the cell. Figure 2 In the figure, the controller represents Near-RTRIC. There are three cells within the control range, namely cell 1, cell 2 and cell 3. Near-RT RIC and each cell communicate through a standard interface or a private interface.

[0035] Furthermore, the Near-RT RIC first sends a beam information acquisition request to each cell within the control range. After receiving the beam information acquisition request, each cell will feedback the beam information related to the base station in the cell to the Near-RT RIC. The beam information includes the beams included in each cell and the transmission direction of the beam.

[0036] Preferably, a beam transmission pattern is generated based on the beam information, including: obtaining the adjacent relationship of each cell based on the cell registration information table, wherein the cell registration information table contains the location information of each cell; rendering and displaying the adjacent relationship of each cell, the beam contained in each cell, and the transmission direction of the beam to generate a beam transmission pattern.

[0037] Specifically, Near-RT RIC receives beam information from each cell and also reads the internal cell registration information table. The cell registration information table contains the location information of each cell. Near-RT RIC can obtain the adjacent relationship of each cell based on the location information of each cell. For example, through the cell registration information table, it can be obtained that the adjacent cells of cell 1 are cell 2 and cell 3. Near-RT RIC can render and display the adjacent relationship of each cell in combination with the beam information of each cell to generate a beam transmission pattern. The beam transmission pattern contains the adjacent relationship of each cell, the beam contained in each cell, and the transmission direction of the beam. Figure 3 The diagram shows the beam transmission pattern. Figure 3 In the figure, each hexagon represents each cell, and the adjacent conditions of the hexagons are the adjacent conditions of each cell. For example, the control range of Near-RT RIC includes 7 cells, namely cell 1, cell 2, cell 3, cell 4, cell 5, cell 6 and cell 7. The adjacent cells of cell 4 are cell 1, cell 3 and cell 5, and the adjacent cells of cell 7 are cell 1, cell 2 and cell 6. The ellipse represents the beam, and the direction of the arrow represents the transmission direction of the beam. Figure 2 Only the beam transmission directions of the base stations in cell 1 and cell 4 are shown, where the beams transmitted by the base station in cell 1 include beams 11 to beam 15, and the beams transmitted by the base station in cell 4 include beams 41 to beam 46. For example, beam 15 pointing to cell 4 indicates the direction in which the beam is transmitted from the base station in cell 1 to cell 4.

[0038] S120: Acquire congestion parameters of each cell, and determine the congestion level of each cell according to the congestion parameters.

[0039] The congestion parameter refers to a parameter related to congestion. Congestion refers to the phenomenon that too many packets arrive at a certain part of the communication subnet, making it impossible for that part of the network to process them in time, resulting in a decrease in the performance of that part or even the entire network. The congestion level refers to the current network load of the cell. Near-RT RIC can determine the congestion level of each cell based on the congestion parameter.

[0040] Preferably, obtaining the congestion parameters of each cell includes: sending a congestion parameter acquisition request including a parameter type and a parameter receiving mode to each cell, wherein the parameter receiving mode includes periodic reception or non-periodic reception; receiving the congestion parameters fed back by each cell based on the congestion parameter acquisition request according to the parameter receiving mode, wherein the congestion parameters include the number of users served by the cell, the maximum number of users served by the cell, and the cell-level resource block RB resource utilization rate.

[0041] Specifically, the Near-RT RIC sends a congestion parameter acquisition request including a parameter type and a parameter reception mode to each cell, where the parameter reception mode includes periodic reception or non-periodic reception. After receiving the congestion parameter acquisition request, each cell will feedback the congestion parameter to the Near-RT RIC according to the congestion parameter acquisition request. The Near-RT RIC uses periodic reception or non-periodic reception of the congestion parameters sent by the cell, where the congestion parameters include the number of users served by the cell, the maximum number of users served by the cell, and the resource utilization rate of the cell-level resource block (RB).

[0042] Among them, the number of users served by the cell refers to the number of users within the coverage area of the base station signal within the cell, the user refers to the user communicating within the coverage area of the base station signal within the cell, the maximum number of users served by the cell refers to the maximum number of users that the cell base station can accommodate while maintaining communication quality, and the cell-level resource block RB resource utilization rate refers to the utilization rate of the bandwidth occupied by resources in the resource blocks within the cell. The cell-level resource block RB resource utilization rate = transmission rate (information rate) / bandwidth, that is, the information rate that can be achieved within the unit frequency band.

[0043] Preferably, the congestion level of each cell is determined according to the congestion parameter, including: when the RB resource utilization rate is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold, and the ratio of the number of cell service users to the maximum number of cell service users is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold, then the congestion level of the cell is determined to be a first-level congestion level; when the RB resource utilization rate is greater than or equal to a third preset threshold, and the RB resource utilization rate is less than the first preset threshold, then the congestion level of the cell is determined to be a second-level congestion level, wherein the third preset threshold is less than the first preset threshold; when the RB resource utilization rate is less than the third preset threshold, and the ratio of the number of cell service users to the maximum number of cell service users is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold, then the congestion level of the cell is determined to be a second-level congestion level. When the RB resource utilization rate is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, and the ratio of the number of users served by the cell to the maximum number of users served by the cell is less than the second preset threshold, the congestion level of the cell is determined to be the second congestion level; when the RB resource utilization rate is less than the third preset threshold, and the ratio of the number of users served by the cell to the maximum number of users served by the cell is less than the fourth preset threshold, the congestion level of the cell is determined to be the third congestion level; wherein the first congestion level, the second congestion level, and the third congestion level decrease in order.

[0044] Specifically, after receiving the congestion parameters fed back by each cell, Near-RT RIC can determine the congestion level of each cell based on the congestion parameters. The way to determine the congestion level can be that technical personnel set a first preset threshold and a third preset threshold for RB resource utilization in the system in advance, and the third preset threshold is less than the first preset threshold, for example, the first preset threshold is 0.9, and the third preset threshold is 0.6; at the same time, a second preset threshold and a fourth preset threshold for the ratio of the number of cell service users to the maximum number of cell service users will also be set, and the fourth preset threshold is less than the second preset threshold, for example, the second preset threshold is 0.8, and the fourth preset threshold is 0.5. Of course, this implementation is only an example and does not limit the specific values of each preset threshold.

[0045] For example, when the first preset threshold is 0.9, the second preset threshold is 0.8, the third preset threshold is 0.6 and the fourth preset threshold is 0.5, when the Near-RT RIC receives that the RB resource utilization rate of cell 1 is 0.95, the ratio of the number of cell service users to the maximum number of cell service users is 0.98, the RB resource utilization rate of cell 2 is 0.25, the ratio of the number of cell service users to the maximum number of cell service users is 0.38, the RB resource utilization rate of cell 3 is 0.65, and the ratio of the number of cell service users to the maximum number of cell service users is 0.58, the Near-RT RIC can determine, based on the first preset threshold, the second preset threshold, the third preset threshold and the fourth preset threshold, that the congestion level of cell 1 is the first level congestion level, the congestion level of cell 2 is the third level congestion level, and the congestion level of cell 3 is the second level congestion level, that is, the congestion levels are ranked as cell 1>cell 3>cell 2.

[0046] S130: Adjust the beam transmission power of each cell according to the beam transmission pattern and the congestion level of each cell.

[0047] Specifically, Near-RT RIC can adjust the beam transmission power of each cell based on the beam transmission pattern and the congestion level of each cell. The purpose of adjusting the beam transmission power is to improve the congestion situation of the congested cell, while improving the communication quality of the service users in the congested cell and achieving congestion control for the cell.

[0048] Preferably, the beam transmission power of each cell is adjusted according to the beam transmission pattern and the congestion level of each cell, including: detecting and traversing each cell to determine the detection cell, and searching for a target neighboring cell with a lower congestion level than the detection cell from the beam transmission pattern according to the congestion level of each cell; determining the target beam of the detection cell toward the target neighboring cell according to the transmission direction of the beam in the beam transmission pattern; and increasing the transmission power of the target beam.

[0049] Specifically, Near-RT RIC first detects all cells within the control range to determine the detection cell, such as Figure 3 The beam transmission pattern shown includes all cells within the control range of the Near-RT RIC. Each cell within the control range can be detected and traversed to determine the congestion level of each cell. For example, the detection is performed in sequence according to the cell number. When cell 4 is detected, cell 4 is used as the detection cell. After the detection cell is determined, the target neighboring cell with a lower congestion level than the detection cell is searched from the beam transmission pattern based on the congestion level of each cell. The Near-RT RIC will determine the target beam of the detection cell toward the target neighboring cell based on the transmission direction of the beam in the beam transmission pattern, and then increase the transmission power of the target beam. For example, the neighboring cells of cell 4 include cell 1, cell 3, and cell 5. When it is determined that cell 4 is at level 2 congestion, cells 1 and 3 are at level 1 congestion, and cell 5 is at level 3 congestion, the target neighboring cell is cell 5. Near-RT RIC determines, based on the transmission direction of the beam of cell 4 in the beam transmission pattern, that the target beams from cell 4 toward cell 5 are beams 41 and 42. At this time, Near-RT RIC increases the transmission power of beams 41 and 42. Of course, this embodiment only describes the adjustment method for beam transmission power when the detected cell is cell 4. When the detected cell is its cell, the adjustment method for beam transmission power is substantially the same and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0050] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention can accurately grasp the adjacent relationship of each cell and the beam transmission status of each cell by obtaining beam information and accurately judge the congestion degree of each cell by obtaining multiple congestion parameters. Adjusting the beam transmission power of the cell according to the beam transmission pattern and the congestion degree of each cell can effectively improve the congestion degree of the cell, thereby improving the throughput of the multi-cell communication system while ensuring that the interference between cells within the control range is as small as possible.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a beam transmission power adjustment method provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment adds a beam transmission power adjustment alarm on the basis of the above embodiment. The specific contents of steps S210 and S230 are roughly the same as those of steps S110 and S130 in the first embodiment, so they will not be described in detail in this embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0053] S210: Obtain beam information of each cell within the control range, and generate a beam transmission pattern according to the beam information.

[0054] S220: Acquire congestion parameters of each cell, and determine the congestion level of each cell according to the congestion parameters.

[0055] S230: Adjust the beam transmission power of each cell according to the beam transmission pattern and the congestion level of each cell.

[0056] S240: Obtain a first overall throughput of each cell within the control range after adjustment and a second overall throughput before adjustment.

[0057] Specifically, when Near-RT RIC increases the transmit power of the target beam, it also obtains the first overall throughput of each cell within the control range after adjustment and the second overall throughput before adjustment, where the throughput represents the total amount of energy and information transmitted by the base station in the cell.

[0058] S250: When the first overall throughput is less than the second overall throughput, perform a beam transmission power adjustment alarm.

[0059] Specifically, after the Near-RT RIC increases the transmit power of the target beam, the adjusted first overall throughput should be greater than the second overall throughput. If the first overall throughput is less than the second overall throughput, it indicates an abnormality in the beam transmit power adjustment. This abnormality may be caused by an adjustment error or a misjudgment of the cell congestion level by the Near-RT RIC. In this case, the Near-RT RIC will issue a beam transmit power adjustment alarm. The alarm may be generated by sending a beam transmit power adjustment alarm message to an alarm device connected to the Near-RT RIC. The alarm device may be an indicator light or an alarm bell. This embodiment uses the indicator light and alarm bell as an example, and does not limit the type of alarm device. When the alarm device receives the beam transmit power adjustment alarm message, the indicator light turns on and the alarm bell sounds. After receiving the beam transmit power adjustment alarm message, technicians can promptly identify the abnormality in the beam transmit power adjustment and determine the cause of the abnormality through further inspection, facilitating timely resolution of the abnormality.

[0060] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention can accurately grasp the adjacent relationship of each cell and the beam transmission status of each cell by obtaining beam information and generating a beam transmission pattern. By obtaining multiple congestion parameters, the congestion level of each cell can be accurately judged. By adjusting the beam transmission power of the cell, the congestion level of the cell can be effectively improved. The throughput of the multi-cell communication system can be improved while ensuring that the interference between cells within the control range is as small as possible. By issuing a beam transmission power adjustment alarm for abnormal situations where the throughput does not improve, technical personnel can promptly grasp the abnormal situation and handle it.

When the RB resource utilization rate is less than the third preset threshold and the ratio of the number of cell service users to the maximum number of cell service users is greater than or equal to the fourth preset threshold, the congestion level of the cell is determined to be the second level congestion level, wherein the fourth preset threshold is less than the second preset threshold; when the RB resource utilization rate is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold and the ratio of the number of cell service users to the maximum number of cell service users is less than the second preset threshold, the congestion level of the cell is determined to be the second level congestion level; when the RB resource utilization rate is less than the third preset threshold and the ratio of the number of cell service users to the maximum number of cell service users is less than the fourth preset threshold, the congestion level of the cell is determined to be the third level congestion level; wherein the congestion levels of the first level congestion level, the second level congestion level and the third level congestion level decrease in sequence.

By obtaining multiple congestion parameters, the congestion level of each cell can be accurately judged. By adjusting the beam transmission power of the cell, the congestion level of the cell can be effectively improved, thereby improving the throughput of the multi-cell communication system while ensuring that the interference between cells within the control range is as small as possible.
