[0018] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0021] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "multiple" mentioned in the present disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly specified in the context, it should be understood as "one or more".

[0022] The names of the messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only for illustrative purposes and are not used to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0023] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0024] Refer to Figure 1 , which shows a process 100 of some embodiments of the beam positioning method according to the present disclosure. The beam positioning method includes the following steps:

[0025] Step 101: Obtain the drive test grid data uploaded by multiple terminal devices in the target cell. The drive test grid data includes the location information of each terminal device among the multiple terminal devices, and the drive test grid data corresponds to the first communication base station.

[0026] In some embodiments, the execution subject of the beam positioning method (such as the background monitoring system of the communication base station) may first obtain the drive test grid data uploaded by multiple terminal devices in the target cell. Among them, the target cell may be a problematic cell located by the traditional overlapping coverage optimization method. For example, as shown in Table 1, the cell with the cell number (NCI) of 1079932972 overlaps with multiple neighboring cells, so the cell numbered 1079932972 can be determined as the target cell.

[0027] Cell NCI Neighboring cell NCI 1079932972 1079918889 1079932972 1076507691 1079932972 1079910953 1079932972 1076509995 1079932972 1079918891 1079932972 1079901994

[0028] Table 1

[0029] In some embodiments, the first communication base station may be a 4G base station. Terminal devices in the cell covered by the 4G base station will upload drive test grid data, that is, MDT (minimazation of drive tests) grid data. The drive test grid data includes the location information of each terminal device among the multiple terminal devices, specifically, it can be the longitude and latitude of the terminal device, as shown in Table 2. It can be understood that users need to communicate through terminal devices installed with user identification cards (SIM cards) in advance, so terminal devices can usually be in one-to-one correspondence with user IDs.

[0030] Optionally, before obtaining the drive test grid data uploaded by multiple terminal devices in the target cell, the method further includes: determining the target cell and at least one neighboring cell corresponding to the target cell according to the predefined overlapping coverage condition, and the target cell and each neighboring cell among the at least one neighboring cell satisfy the overlapping coverage condition. Among them, the overlapping coverage condition may be that there are 3 or more cells with an RSRP difference of within 6 dB in the primary serving cell. The target cell may be the primary serving cell.

[0031]

[0032]

[0033] Table 2

[0034] Step 102: According to the location information of each terminal device, determine at least one terminal device within the radiation range of the second communication base station among the multiple terminal devices as the target terminal device group, and the second communication base station and the first communication base station are co-located base stations.

[0035] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned execution entity may determine a target terminal device group according to the location information of each terminal device. Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, taking the mechanical azimuth angle of the 5G base station as the normal line, the 4G MDT data within a certain forward coverage range is converted into the user data of this 5G station. As Figure 2 the target terminal device group composed of the terminal devices in the grid marked with "X" in. Among them, the second communication base station is a 5G base station co-located with the above-mentioned 4G base station. Thereby, the data conversion between the 4G base station and the 5G base station is realized, so as to solve the problem that the 5G base station lacks MDT data.

[0036] Step 103, map the target terminal device group to the target sector among multiple sectors centered on the antenna of the second communication base station according to the original measurement report data corresponding to the target terminal device group.

[0037] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned execution entity may perform mapping according to the angle of arrival (AoA) of the signal included in the original measurement report data (Measurement Report of Original Type, MRO) corresponding to the target terminal device group. Specifically, AoA includes MR.hAOA (horizontal angle of arrival) and MR.vAOA (vertical angle of arrival). Among them, AoA defines an estimated angle of a terminal device relative to the reference direction.

[0038] In practice, the 360° around the antenna can be evenly divided into multiple sectors in advance. For example, taking the due north direction as 0°, and the clockwise direction as positive, each 5° is divided into a sector, and 72 sectors are obtained, as shown in Table 3:

[0039]

[0040]

[0041] Table 3

[0042] On this basis, for the terminal devices in the target terminal device group, the corresponding sector can be determined according to the horizontal angle of arrival. For example, the horizontal angle of arrival is 22°, falling into the sector AOA04. In practice, the terminal devices in the target terminal device group often correspond to the same sector, that is, the target sector.

[0043] Step 104, determine the beam corresponding to the target sector as the target beam, and the beam is the beam of the second communication base station.

[0044] In some embodiments, the corresponding relationship between the beam and the sector may be determined in advance, so that the above-mentioned execution entity may determine the beam corresponding to the target sector as the target beam. Among them, the cell covered by the second communication base station may include multiple beams.

[0045] The methods provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure can locate specific beams, thereby achieving targeted adjustment and avoiding affecting users of normal beams due to antenna feed adjustment at the cell level. During this process, by converting the drive test grid data of the first communication base station into the terminal device data of the same station of the second communication base station, the problem that the second communication base station lacks drive test grid data is solved, and then the specific beam is located through the correspondence between sectors and beams.

[0046] Further referring to Figure 3 , which shows the process 300 of another embodiment of the beam positioning method. The process 300 of the beam positioning method includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 301, obtain the drive test grid data uploaded by multiple terminal devices in the target cell. The drive test grid data includes the location information of each terminal device among the multiple terminal devices, and the drive test grid data corresponds to the first communication base station.

[0048] Step 302, according to the location information of each terminal device, determine at least one terminal device within the radiation range of the second communication base station among the multiple terminal devices as the target terminal device group. The second communication base station and the first communication base station are co-station base stations.

[0049] Step 303, map the target terminal device group to the target sector among multiple sectors centered on the antenna of the second communication base station according to the original measurement report data corresponding to the target terminal device group.

[0050] Step 304, determine the beam corresponding to the target sector as the target beam. The beam is the beam of the second communication base station.

[0051] In some embodiments, the specific implementation of steps 301-304 and the technical effects brought by them can refer to Figure 2 the corresponding embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0052] Step 305, determine the target coverage distance of the antenna of the second communication base station according to the location information of the target terminal device group.

[0053] In some embodiments, the execution entity of the beam positioning method can first determine the target coverage distance DF according to the location information of the target terminal device group. Specifically, the terminal device farthest from the second communication base station in the target terminal device group can be determined, and then the distance between the farthest terminal device and the second communication base station is determined as the target coverage distance DF, as Figure 4 shown.

[0054] Step 306: Determine the target weighted down-tilt angle of the antenna based on the target coverage distance, the mechanical down-tilt angle of the antenna, and the height of the second communication base station. The target weighted down-tilt angle is used to adjust the antenna.

[0055] In some embodiments, the down-tilt angle in the main lobe coverage direction of the antenna can be determined according to the following formula: DT + TItl = DEGREES(ATAN(H / DF)) + 1 / 2VB, where DT is the mechanical down-tilt angle of the antenna, TItl is the down-tilt angle in the main lobe coverage direction of the antenna, DEGREES is a function that converts radians to degrees, ATAN is the arctangent function, which can output the arctangent value (in radians). In practice, the mechanical down-tilt angle DT of the antenna is generally fixed. VB is the vertical lobe angle. Therefore, the target weighted down-tilt angle can be solved through the above formula. Thus, the main lobe coverage direction of the antenna can be adjusted according to the target weighted down-tilt angle, and then the problem of overlapping coverage can be solved.

[0056] As Figure 4 shown, where the height H of the second communication base station = antenna hanging height + base station altitude - coverage target altitude, the target coverage distance of the antenna.

[0057] Step 307: Determine the target direction angle according to the beam direction angle of the target cell and the direction angle between the target cell and the target terminal device group.

[0058] Specifically, determine the direction angle of the target beam and the direction angle between the target cell and the target terminal device group. The difference between the two is the target direction angle, so that the direction angle of the antenna can be adjusted.

[0059] From Figure 3 it can be seen that compared with the description of some corresponding embodiments, Figure 2 in the process 300 of the beam positioning method in some corresponding embodiments, the processes of determining the target weighted down-tilt angle and the target direction angle are added, so that the antenna can be precisely adjusted.

[0062] In an alternative implementation of some embodiments, the beam positioning device 500 further includes: a cell determination unit configured to determine a target cell and at least one adjacent cell corresponding to the target cell according to predefined overlapping coverage conditions, where the target cell and each adjacent cell among the at least one adjacent cell satisfy the overlapping coverage conditions.

[0064] In an alternative implementation of some embodiments, the beam positioning device 500 further includes: a direction angle determination unit configured to determine a target direction angle according to the direction angle of the beam and the direction angle between the target cell and the target terminal device group.

[0065] It can be understood that the units described in the beam positioning device 500 correspond to the respective steps in the method described with reference to Figure 2 Therefore, the operations, features, and beneficial effects described above for the method also apply to the device 500 and the units included therein, and will not be repeated here.
