Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese application with application number 201780002165.4, application date December 22, 2017, and invention name “Network Measurement Method, Device and Storage Medium”. Technical Field
[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to a network measurement method, device, and storage medium. Background Art
[0003] At present, in order to improve the communication quality of different types of terminals, operators can deploy different types of networks for different types of terminals, that is, operators can set up designated networks for designated types of terminals. For example, in order to improve the communication quality of terminals on high-speed railways, operators have deployed a dedicated high-speed railway network in addition to the public LTE (Long Term Evolution) network. The dedicated high-speed railway network is used to specifically serve terminals on high-speed railways. In addition, after the terminal accesses a cell in the designated network, in order to maintain the communication quality of the terminal, the terminal needs to measure the signal quality of the currently accessed service cell and the neighboring cells of the service cell according to the instructions of the base station, that is, perform network measurement and report the measurement report to the base station so that the base station can re-determine the cell that the terminal needs to access based on the measurement report.
[0004] In related technologies, after a terminal accesses a cell on a designated network, the base station sends measurement configuration information to the terminal. This measurement configuration information includes a measurement trigger event, measurement parameters, and a measurement report trigger event. Both the measurement trigger event and the measurement report trigger event are caused by the signal quality of the serving cell falling below a threshold. The measurement parameters include the signal quality of each neighboring cell. That is, after receiving this measurement configuration information, the terminal measures the signal quality of the serving cell in real time. When the signal quality of the serving cell falls below the threshold, the terminal measures the signal quality of each neighboring cell and sends a measurement report to the base station. This measurement report contains the signal quality of each neighboring cell. Summary of the Invention

[0065] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, like numbers in different figures represent like or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present invention, as detailed in the appended claims.
[0066] Before explaining the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present disclosure are first introduced. Since the measurement reporting method in the related art uses the measurement trigger event and the measurement report trigger event as the signal quality of the serving cell being less than the threshold value, that is, regardless of the current state of the terminal, as long as the signal quality of the serving cell is less than the threshold value, the terminal will measure the signal quality of all neighboring cells and send a measurement report to the base station, which reduces the flexibility of the terminal in performing network measurements.
[0067] Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a network measurement method, so that the terminal can select appropriate measurement configuration information from at least two measurement configuration information sent by the base station according to its own situation to perform network measurement, thereby improving the flexibility of the terminal in performing network measurement.
[0068] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a network measurement method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied in a terminal, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0074] For each measurement configuration information, the first measurement trigger event is that the signal quality of the first cell is less than the first threshold value, the first measurement reporting trigger event is that there is a second cell in the at least one second cell whose signal quality exceeds the second threshold value than the signal quality of the first cell, and the duration of the excess is greater than the first duration, the second measurement trigger event is that the signal quality of the at least one second cell is lower than the third threshold value, the second measurement reporting trigger event is that there is a third cell in the at least one third cell whose signal quality exceeds the fourth threshold value than the signal quality of the first cell, and the duration of the excess is greater than the second duration, the first threshold value, first duration, and second duration in different measurement configuration information are different, and the third threshold value in the same measurement configuration information is less than the first threshold value.

[0077] If the signal quality in the at least one second cell exceeds the signal quality of the first cell by a second threshold value in the target measurement configuration information and the duration of the excess is greater than the first duration in the target measurement configuration information, a measurement report is sent to the base station, where the measurement report carries the signal quality of each second cell in the at least one second cell.
[0078] Optionally, after measuring the signal quality of each second cell in the at least one second cell, the method further includes:
[0079] If the signal quality of each second cell in the at least one second cell is lower than the third threshold in the target measurement configuration information, measuring the signal quality of each third cell in the at least one third cell;

[0082] All of the above optional technical solutions can be combined in any way to form optional embodiments of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure will not be described in detail one by one.
[0083] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of another network measurement method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is used in a base station, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps.
[0084] In step 201, at least two measurement configuration information are sent to a terminal, where the at least two measurement configuration information correspond to at least two speed intervals and are used to instruct the terminal to select target measurement configuration information for network measurement according to its own moving speed. The terminal is a terminal accessing the first cell corresponding to the base station.
[0085] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a base station may send at least two pieces of measurement configuration information to a terminal accessing a first cell. The at least two pieces of measurement configuration information correspond to at least two speed intervals. This allows the terminal to select target measurement configuration information from the at least two pieces of measurement configuration information based on its own moving speed and perform network measurement based on the target measurement configuration information. That is, in the present disclosure, because the base station transmits multiple pieces of measurement configuration information, the terminal can select appropriate measurement configuration information for network measurement based on its own circumstances, thereby increasing the flexibility of the terminal in performing network measurement.
[0086] Optionally, the first cell is a cell in a first network, and each measurement configuration information includes a first measurement triggering event, a first measurement reporting triggering event, at least one second cell to be measured corresponding to the first measurement triggering event, a second measurement triggering event, a second measurement reporting triggering event, and at least one third cell to be measured corresponding to the second measurement triggering event, the at least one second cell being a neighboring cell belonging to the first network among all neighboring cells of the first cell, and the at least one third cell being a neighboring cell belonging to the second network among all neighboring cells of the first cell;
[0087] For each measurement configuration information, the first measurement trigger event is that the signal quality of the first cell is less than the first threshold value, the first measurement reporting trigger event is that there is a second cell in the at least one second cell whose signal quality exceeds the second threshold value than the signal quality of the first cell, and the duration of the excess is greater than the first duration, the second measurement trigger event is that the signal quality of the at least one second cell is lower than the third threshold value, the second measurement reporting trigger event is that there is a third cell in the at least one third cell whose signal quality exceeds the fourth threshold value than the signal quality of the first cell, and the duration of the excess is greater than the second duration, the first threshold value, first duration, and second duration in different measurement configuration information are different, and the third threshold value in the same measurement configuration information is less than the first threshold value.

[0089] All of the above optional technical solutions can be combined in any way to form optional embodiments of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure will not be described in detail one by one.
[0090] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of another network measurement method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:
[0091] In step 301, after a terminal accesses a first cell, a base station corresponding to the first cell sends at least two pieces of measurement configuration information to the terminal, where the at least two pieces of measurement configuration information correspond to at least two speed intervals.
[0092] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, to increase the flexibility of a terminal in performing network measurements, a base station may send at least two pieces of measurement configuration information to a terminal accessing a cell corresponding to the base station, so that the terminal accessing the cell can select appropriate measurement configuration information based on its own circumstances. Specifically, after a terminal accesses a first cell, the base station of the first cell will send at least two pieces of measurement configuration information to the terminal.
[0093] In one possible implementation, the base station sends two pieces of measurement configuration information to the terminal, namely, first measurement configuration information and second measurement configuration information, where the first measurement configuration information corresponds to a first speed interval and the second measurement configuration information corresponds to a second speed interval. The first speed interval is a speed interval with a value greater than a preset speed, and the second speed interval is a speed interval with a value less than the preset speed.
[0094] The preset speed is a pre-set speed. For example, if the preset speed is 200 km / h, then the first speed interval is greater than 200 km / h and the second speed interval is less than 200 km / h.
[0095] In another possible implementation, the base station sends three pieces of measurement configuration information to the terminal, namely, first measurement configuration information, second measurement configuration information, and third measurement configuration information. The first measurement configuration information corresponds to the first speed interval, the second measurement configuration information corresponds to the second speed interval, and the third measurement configuration information corresponds to the third speed interval. The values corresponding to the first speed interval, the second speed interval, and the third speed interval decrease in sequence.
[0096] It should also be noted that, through the network measurement method provided in the relevant technology, if there are cells in other networks other than the designated network in the neighboring cells, the terminal may be re-resident in the cell in the other network, thereby affecting the network status of the other network, and may also affect the communication quality of the terminal.
[0097] For example, for a terminal on a high-speed train, after the terminal accesses the dedicated network of the high-speed train, when the speed of the high-speed train changes from fast to slow, such as when the high-speed train currently enters a certain station, the signal quality of the service cell accessed by the terminal will deteriorate, that is, it will trigger the terminal to measure the signal quality of all neighboring cells, which may cause the terminal on the high-speed train to select a cell in the public LTE network among the neighboring cells to reside in. On the one hand, this will cause congestion in the public LTE network. On the other hand, when the speed of the high-speed train changes from slow to fast, it may trigger the terminal on the high-speed train to re-measure the signal quality of each neighboring cell, so that the terminal on the high-speed train will re-reside in the cell in the dedicated network of the high-speed train, causing the terminal on the high-speed train to frequently switch the cell in which it resides, thereby affecting the communication quality of the terminal on the high-speed train.
[0098] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, if a first network and a second network currently exist at the same time, and the first cell is a cell in the first network, in order to avoid frequent cell switching of the terminal between different frequencies, for each measurement configuration information, the first cell is a cell in the first network, and each measurement configuration information includes a first measurement trigger event, a first measurement report trigger event, at least one second cell to be measured corresponding to the first measurement trigger event, a second measurement trigger event, a second measurement report trigger event, and at least one third cell to be measured corresponding to the second measurement trigger event. The at least one second cell is a neighboring cell belonging to the first network among all neighboring cells of the first cell, and the at least one third cell is a neighboring cell belonging to the second network among all neighboring cells of the first cell.
[0099] That is, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, two measurement triggering events and two measurement reporting triggering events are set for each configuration information to avoid the terminal directly measuring the signal quality of all neighboring cells when performing network measurement, thereby further improving the flexibility of the terminal in performing network measurement.
[0100] In one possible implementation, for each measurement configuration information, the first measurement trigger event is that the signal quality of the first cell is less than the first threshold value, the first measurement reporting trigger event is that there is a second cell in the at least one second cell whose signal quality exceeds the second threshold value than the signal quality of the first cell and the duration of the excess is greater than the first duration, the second measurement trigger event is that the signal quality of the at least one second cell is lower than the third threshold value, and the second measurement reporting trigger event is that there is a third cell in the at least one third cell whose signal quality exceeds the fourth threshold value than the signal quality of the first cell and the duration of the excess is greater than the second duration.
[0101] That is, after the terminal accesses the first cell, if the signal quality of the first cell is lower than the first threshold, network measurement is preferentially performed on neighboring cells that belong to the same network as the first cell, that is, the signal quality of at least one second cell is preferentially measured, so that even if the terminal switches cells, it preferentially switches to a neighboring cell that belongs to the same network as the first cell. Only when the signal quality of the at least one second cell is lower than the third threshold will the terminal measure the signal quality of neighboring cells that do not belong to the same network as the first cell, that is, measure the signal quality of at least one third cell.
[0102] In addition, since the at least two pieces of measurement configuration information sent by the base station correspond to at least two speed intervals, that is, the measurement configuration information corresponding to different speed intervals is also different. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first threshold value, the first duration, and the second duration in different pieces of measurement configuration information are different, and the third threshold value in the same piece of measurement configuration information is less than the first threshold value.
[0103] In one possible implementation, the first threshold value in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval whose value exceeds the preset speed is greater than the first threshold value in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval whose value is lower than the preset speed, the first time length in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval whose value exceeds the preset speed is less than the first time length in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval whose value is lower than the preset speed, and the second time length in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval whose value exceeds the preset speed is less than the second time length in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval whose value is lower than the preset speed.
[0104] The first, second, third, and fourth thresholds are all pre-set thresholds. The disclosed embodiment does not limit the specific values of these four thresholds, as long as they satisfy the aforementioned magnitude relationship. Furthermore, the first and second durations are also pre-set durations. The disclosed embodiment also does not limit the specific values of these two durations, as long as they satisfy the aforementioned magnitude relationship.
[0105] For example, the measurement configuration information sent by the base station to the terminal is first measurement configuration information and second measurement configuration information. The first measurement configuration information corresponds to a speed interval greater than 200 km / h, and the second measurement configuration information corresponds to a speed interval less than 200 km / h. That is, the first measurement configuration information is set for a terminal with a high mobile speed, such as a terminal on a high-speed train, and the second measurement configuration information is set for a terminal with a low mobile speed, such as a terminal on a non-high-speed train.
[0106] At this time, the first duration in the first measurement configuration information will be smaller than the first duration in the second measurement configuration information, the second duration in the first measurement configuration information will be smaller than the second duration in the second measurement configuration information, and the first threshold value in the first measurement configuration information will be greater than the first threshold value in the second measurement configuration information.
[0107] In step 302, the terminal receives at least two pieces of measurement configuration information sent by the base station.
[0108] After the base station sends at least two pieces of measurement configuration information in step 301, the terminal will receive the at least two pieces of measurement configuration information, so that the terminal selects target measurement configuration information from the at least two pieces of measurement configuration information to perform network measurement in step 303.
[0109] In step 303, the terminal selects target measurement configuration information from the at least two measurement configuration information according to its own moving speed.
[0110] As can be seen from step 301, the at least two pieces of measurement configuration information correspond to at least two speed intervals. Therefore, step 303 may be implemented as follows: the terminal obtains its own moving speed, selects a speed interval corresponding to its own moving speed from the at least two speed intervals to obtain a target speed interval, and selects measurement configuration information corresponding to the target speed interval from the at least two pieces of measurement configuration information to obtain target measurement configuration information.
[0111] The terminal selects a speed interval corresponding to its own moving speed from the at least two speed intervals, and then selects the frequency priority order corresponding to the target speed interval from the at least two measurement configuration information. Therefore, when the terminal's current moving speed is high, the target measurement configuration information is the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval with the higher value. When the terminal's current moving speed is low, the target measurement configuration information is the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval with the lower value.
[0112] Among them, the implementation method of the terminal determining the current moving speed can be: the terminal can determine the current position through GPS (Global Positioning System) positioning technology every preset time period, calculate the distance moved by the terminal within the preset time period based on the determined position, and use the quotient between the distance and the preset time period as the moving speed of the terminal.
[0113] In addition, the preset duration is a pre-set duration, which may be 5s, 10s, or 30s.
[0114] In step 304, the terminal performs network measurement according to the target measurement configuration information.
[0115] As can be seen from step 301, the target configuration information includes a first measurement trigger event, a first measurement report trigger event, at least one second cell to be measured corresponding to the first measurement trigger event, a second measurement trigger event, a second measurement report trigger event, and at least one third cell to be measured corresponding to the second measurement trigger event. The first measurement trigger event is that the signal quality of the first cell is less than a first threshold value, the first measurement report trigger event is that the signal quality of the at least one second cell exceeds the signal quality of the first cell by a second threshold value, and the duration of the excess is greater than a first duration, the second measurement trigger event is that the signal quality of the at least one second cell is lower than a third threshold value, and the second measurement report trigger event is that the signal quality of the at least one third cell exceeds the signal quality of the first cell by a fourth threshold value, and the duration of the excess is greater than a second duration.
[0116] Therefore, the implementation method of step 304 can be: the terminal determines the signal quality of the first cell, and when the signal quality of the first cell is less than the first threshold value in the target measurement configuration information, it is determined that the first measurement trigger event meets the conditions. At this time, the terminal will measure the signal quality of each second cell in the at least one second cell, and determine whether there is a signal quality in the at least one second cell that exceeds the signal quality of the first cell by the second threshold value in the target measurement configuration information based on the signal quality of each second cell in the at least one second cell. If the terminal determines that there is a signal quality in the at least one second cell that exceeds the signal quality of the first cell by the second threshold value in the target measurement configuration information and the duration of the excess is greater than the first duration in the target measurement configuration information, it indicates that the current first measurement reporting trigger event meets the conditions. At this time, the terminal sends a measurement report to the base station, and the measurement report carries the signal quality of each second cell in the at least one second cell.
[0117] That is, when the terminal determines that the signal quality of the first cell is less than the first threshold, the terminal will preferentially measure the signal quality of at least one second cell that belongs to the same network as the first cell. Furthermore, the terminal does not immediately report the signal quality of the at least one second cell to the base station. Instead, the terminal sends a measurement report to the base station only when the first measurement report triggering event meets the conditions, that is, when the terminal determines that the signal quality of the at least one second cell exceeds the signal quality of the first cell by the second threshold in the target measurement configuration information, and the duration of the excess is greater than the first duration in the target measurement configuration information, thereby improving the flexibility of the terminal in performing network measurements.
[0118] In addition, since the target configuration information also includes a second measurement trigger event, after measuring the signal quality of each second cell in the at least one second cell, the terminal needs to determine whether the second measurement trigger event meets the conditions. If the second measurement trigger event meets the conditions, that is, if the signal quality of each second cell in the at least one second cell is lower than the third threshold value in the target measurement configuration information, the terminal measures the signal quality of each third cell in the at least one third cell. And after measuring the signal quality of each third cell, when the terminal determines that there is a signal quality in the at least one third cell that exceeds the signal quality of the first cell by the fourth threshold value in the target measurement configuration information and the duration of the excess is greater than the second duration in the target measurement configuration information, it indicates that the second measurement reporting trigger event meets the conditions. At this time, the terminal will send a measurement report to the base station, and the measurement report carries the signal quality of each third cell in the at least one third cell.
[0119] That is, after the terminal measures the signal quality of each second cell in the at least one second cell, the terminal will measure the signal quality of at least one third cell that does not belong to the same network as the first cell only when the signal quality of each second cell in the at least one second cell is lower than the third threshold value in the target measurement configuration information.
[0120] Therefore, using the above network measurement method, when the signal quality of a first cell deteriorates, the terminal will prioritize measuring the signal quality of at least one second cell belonging to the same network as the first cell, so as to prioritize handover to the at least one second cell belonging to the same network as the first cell. Only when the signal quality of the at least one second cell is poor will the terminal measure the signal quality of at least one third cell that does not belong to the same network as the first cell, so as to facilitate handover to the at least one third cell that does not belong to the same network as the first cell. In other words, when the signal quality of the first cell currently connected to the terminal deteriorates, the terminal will prioritize handover to at least one second cell belonging to the same network as the first cell, thereby avoiding frequent handovers between cells of different networks.
[0121] For example, if the first network is a high-speed rail dedicated network and the terminal is currently on the high-speed rail, when the signal quality of the first cell currently accessed by the terminal deteriorates, the terminal will give priority to re-accessing the cell in the attached high-speed rail dedicated network through the above-mentioned network measurement method. Only when the cells in the attached high-speed rail dedicated network are all poor, the terminal will choose to re-access the cell in the attached public LTE network.
[0122] In addition, since the first threshold value in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval whose value exceeds the preset speed is greater than the first threshold value in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval whose value is lower than the preset speed, the first time length in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval whose value exceeds the preset speed is less than the first time length in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval whose value is lower than the preset speed, and the second time length in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval whose value exceeds the preset speed is less than the second time length in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the speed interval whose value is lower than the preset speed.
[0123] That is, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, for a terminal with a relatively high mobility, when the terminal determines that the signal quality of a first cell is less than a higher threshold, the terminal will preferentially measure the signal quality of at least one second cell that belongs to the same network as the first cell. When the terminal determines that the signal quality of the at least one second cell exceeds a certain threshold compared to the signal quality of the first cell, and the duration of the excess exceeds a shorter duration, the terminal sends a measurement report to the base station.
[0124] Only when the signal quality of the at least one second cell is lower than a certain threshold value, the terminal will measure the signal quality of at least one third cell, and when it is determined that the signal quality in the at least one third cell exceeds the signal quality of the first cell by a certain threshold value and the duration of the excess is greater than a shorter time length, the terminal sends a measurement report to the base station.
[0125] For a terminal with a slower mobile speed, if the terminal determines that the signal quality of the first cell is less than a lower threshold, the terminal will prioritize measuring the signal quality of at least one second cell that belongs to the same network as the first cell. If the terminal determines that the signal quality of the at least one second cell exceeds a certain threshold compared to the signal quality of the first cell, and the duration of the excess exceeds a certain threshold, the terminal sends a measurement report to the base station.
[0126] Only when the signal quality of the at least one second cell is lower than a certain threshold value, the terminal will measure the signal quality of at least one third cell, and when it is determined that the signal quality in the at least one third cell exceeds the signal quality of the first cell by a certain threshold value and the duration of the excess is greater than a longer time period, the terminal sends a measurement report to the base station.
[0127] For example, when the terminal is currently on a high-speed rail, and the terminal is currently connected to the first cell in the high-speed rail dedicated network. If the speed of the current high-speed rail slows down, such as when the high-speed rail enters the station, the terminal's own moving speed also slows down, and the signal quality of the first cell accessed by the terminal will deteriorate. At this time, the terminal will give priority to measuring the signal quality of the cell in the attached high-speed rail dedicated network through the above method, so as to give priority to switching to the cell in the nearby high-speed rail dedicated network. Only when the signal quality of the cells in the nearby high-speed rail dedicated network is poor, the terminal will measure the cell in the nearby public LTE network. Therefore, through the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the high-speed rail enters the station, it can effectively avoid the terminal on the high-speed rail from re-accessing the attached public LTE network, so as to avoid causing communication pressure on the nearby public LTE network. At the same time, when the high-speed rail restarts, it can also avoid the terminal from frequently switching between different networks.
[0128] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after accessing a first cell, a terminal receives at least two pieces of measurement configuration information sent by a base station corresponding to the first cell. The at least two pieces of measurement configuration information correspond to at least two speed intervals. This allows the terminal to select target measurement configuration information from the at least two pieces of measurement configuration information based on its own moving speed and perform network measurements based on the target measurement configuration information. That is, in the present disclosure, because the base station transmits multiple pieces of measurement configuration information, the terminal can select appropriate measurement configuration information for network measurement based on its own circumstances, thereby increasing the flexibility of the terminal in performing network measurements.
