Detailed Implementation Methods

[0020] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a target neighboring region determination method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the above method for determining target neighboring cells may include:

[0024] Step 101: The target base station determines each first neighboring cell whose Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) is higher than a set threshold based on the Measurement Report (MR) sent by the user equipment.

[0025] In this embodiment of the application, the target base station can be any base station device.

[0026] In the field of wireless communication, after a user equipment (UE) accesses the serving cell of a target base station, it can measure the RSRP (Responsible RSRP) of the serving cell. When the UE measures the RSRP of the serving cell to be lower than a set threshold, it can initiate neighbor cell measurement and generate a MR (Mean Context). The MR may contain the RSRPs of each neighboring cell. The UE can then send the MR to the target base station.

[0027] In this embodiment of the application, the target base station can determine each first neighboring cell whose RSRP is higher than a set threshold based on the received MR. The set threshold can be a threshold for triggering cell handover, and its value can be set empirically.

[0028] Step 102: The target base station determines the first neighboring cell with the highest handover priority among all the first neighboring cells as the target neighboring cell. The handover priority is determined based on the service quality parameters of each neighboring cell within a preset time period.

[0029] In this embodiment, after determining each first neighboring cell, the target base station can obtain the handover priority of each first neighboring cell. The handover priority is determined based on the service quality parameters of each neighboring cell within a preset time period. Service quality parameters may include, for example, dwell quality parameters and handover quality parameters. Dwell quality parameters can be used to characterize the stability of each neighboring cell over a period of time. Higher stability provides a better user experience. Handover quality parameters can be used to characterize the connectivity of each neighboring cell over a period of time. Higher connectivity results in better smoothness and a higher success rate during cell handover.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the target base station can detect the service quality parameters of its corresponding neighboring cells at set time intervals. Then, based on the detected service quality parameters, it can determine the handover priority of each neighboring cell and periodically update the locally stored handover priorities.

[0031] In this implementation, after determining each first neighboring cell, the target base station can directly query the handover priority corresponding to each first neighboring cell locally.

[0032] In another possible implementation, the target base station can detect the service quality parameters of its corresponding neighboring cells at set time intervals. The target base station can then send the detected service quality parameters to the network management device. The network management device can then determine the handover priority of each neighboring cell based on the received service quality parameters and update the stored handover priorities.

[0033] In this implementation, after determining each first neighboring cell, the target base station can send a first query request to the network management device. The first query request can be used to query the handover priority of each first neighboring cell. Upon receiving the first query request, the network management device can send the handover priority of each first neighboring cell to the target base station.

[0034] After obtaining the handover priority of each first neighbor cell, the target base station can determine the first neighbor cell with the highest handover priority among the first neighbor cells as the target neighbor cell.

[0035] In the above technical solution, since the handover priority is determined based on the service quality parameters of the neighboring cells, the identified target neighboring cells can meet the current coverage strength requirements while also taking into account service stability, thereby improving the user's experience after accessing the target neighboring cells.

[0036] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating another target neighboring cell determination method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, when the target base station determines the handover priority of each neighboring cell based on the service quality parameters of each neighboring cell, the specific process may include:

[0037] Step 201: Determine the stability of each neighboring area based on the residence quality parameters of each neighboring area within a preset time period.

[0038] In this embodiment of the application, for example, the dwell quality parameters may include: connection rate and / or drop rate and / or packet loss rate and / or handover success rate.

[0039] First, the target base station can determine the camping quality of each neighboring cell based on the ratio between the call success rate and / or handover success rate and the call drop rate and / or packet loss rate of each neighboring cell within a preset time period.

[0040] Each neighboring cell can adopt the same implementation method. For ease of explanation, we will take any neighboring cell i as an example.

[0041] In one specific implementation, the dwell quality K of neighboring cell i can be calculated according to the following formula. i .

[0042]

[0043] Among them, c ih represents the connection rate. i Indicates the handover success rate, d i Indicates the disconnection rate, s i This represents the packet loss rate, where α is an adjustment factor that can be used to control the disconnection rate d. i and packet loss rate s i The weight of α. The value of α can be set empirically. For example, it can be between 0.5 and 1.5.

[0044] Residence quality K i The larger the value, the better the overall business performance of the neighboring area.

[0045] In this embodiment, the dwell quality of each neighboring cell is determined by parameters such as connection rate, drop rate, and packet loss rate within a preset time period. On the one hand, the voice perception quality provided by each neighboring cell can be comprehensively considered by multiple parameters; on the other hand, historical data can be fully utilized to help determine whether the service quality provided by each neighboring cell is stable over a longer period of time.

[0046] Then, the target base station can determine the stability of each neighboring cell relative to its respective neighboring cells based on the dwell quality of each neighboring cell.

[0047] In one specific implementation, taking neighboring cell i as an example, the stability F of neighboring cell i relative to its neighboring cells can be calculated using the following formula. i .

[0048]

[0049] Where j represents the first-level neighbor of neighboring cell i, and t represents the second-level neighbor of j, i.e., the neighbor of neighboring cell i. Stability F i The larger the value, the more stable the speech perception provided by neighboring cell i is relative to other neighboring cells.

[0050] The above for F i The calculation method is merely an illustrative example and should not be construed as limiting this application. Embodiments of this application may also provide F i Other calculation methods. For example, in the above calculation of the cumulative residence quality in the denominator, the third-level neighboring cells of neighboring cell i can be further included.

[0051] Step 202: Determine the continuity of each neighboring cell based on the handover quality parameters of each neighboring cell within a preset time period.

[0052] In this embodiment of the application, the switching quality parameters may include, for example, switching latency and / or switching success rate.

[0053] First, the target base station can determine the handover smoothness of each neighboring cell based on the handover delay of each neighboring cell within a preset time period.

[0054] Let's take neighboring cell i as an example again. The handover smoothness of neighboring cell i can be calculated using the following formula:

[0055]

[0056] Among them, delay i This represents the average latency when each user device accesses neighbor cell i within a preset time period. Average latency (delay) i The smaller the value, the smoother the switching becomes (θ). i The larger.

[0057] Then, the target base station can determine the connectivity of each neighboring cell based on the product of handover smoothness and handover success rate.

[0058] Let's take neighboring cell i as an example again. In one specific implementation, the continuity U of neighboring cell i can be calculated according to the following formula. i :

[0059]

[0060] Among them, P ij P represents the handover success rate from neighboring cell i to its first-level neighboring cell j. jt This represents the success rate of handover from first-level neighbor j of neighbor i to second-level neighbor t of neighbor i.

[0061] Continuity U i It can be used to characterize the continuity of a user equipment (UE) in terms of handover success rate and handover latency when it continues to hand over to other neighboring cells after accessing neighboring cell i. i The larger the value, the greater the probability that a user equipment, after accessing neighboring cell i, can find a cell with a higher handover success rate and lower handover latency when continuing to handover among its first-level and second-level neighboring cells.

[0062] It should be noted that, regarding the above U i The calculation can be further extended to include third-level neighboring cells of neighboring cell i, etc., but this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0063] Step 203: Determine the handover priority of each neighboring cell based on stability and continuity.

[0064] First, the target base station can determine the stability weight and connectivity weight of each neighboring cell based on the number of users accessing each neighboring cell and their dwell time within a preset time period.

[0065] Taking neighboring cell i as an example, the stability weight of neighboring cell i can be expressed as: The continuity weight of neighboring cell i can be expressed as

[0066] in, This can represent the probability that a user performing voice services will stay in neighboring cell i for an extended period of time within a preset time period. The larger the value, the better the neighbor cell i can provide voice perception over a longer period of time. Conversely, the smaller the value, the higher the probability that users performing voice services will switch to other cells in a short period of time after accessing neighbor cell i.

[0067] In this embodiment of the application, the above-mentioned It can be calculated using the following formula:

[0068]

[0069] Where T represents the length of the preset time period, m represents the number of users accessing neighboring cell i to perform voice services within the preset time period T, and t x This indicates the dwell time of user x who accesses neighboring cell i via voice service in neighboring cell i.

[0070] Furthermore, after obtaining the stability weight and continuity weight, the target base station can determine the handover priority of each neighboring cell.

[0071] Specifically, the target base station can use stability weights and continuity weights to weight stability and continuity, and obtain the handover priority of each neighboring cell.

[0072] Taking neighboring cell i as an example again. In one specific implementation, the handover priority W of neighboring cell i can be calculated according to the following formula. i .

[0073]

[0074] Switching priority W i The larger the value, the more reasonable it is to select neighboring cell i as the target neighboring cell.

[0075] The above technical solution allows for the determination of handover priorities for each neighboring cell by considering service quality parameters such as call completion rate and packet loss rate, as well as handover quality parameters such as handover latency and handover success rate. This enables handover priorities to comprehensively characterize the service stability and continuity of each neighboring cell. Therefore, selecting the first neighboring cell with the highest handover priority among those meeting coverage requirements as the target neighboring cell effectively improves the user experience after accessing the target neighboring cell.

The target neighbor cell determination device in this embodiment can be used as a target neighbor cell determination equipment to implement the target neighbor cell determination method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the target neighboring cell determination device may include a determination module 31 and an execution module 32.

[0077] The determination module 31 is used to determine each first neighboring cell whose reference signal received power RSRP is higher than a set threshold based on the measurement report MR sent by the user equipment.

[0078] The execution module 32 is used to determine the first neighboring cell with the highest handover priority among all first neighboring cells as the target neighboring cell. The handover priority is determined based on the service quality parameters of each neighboring cell within a preset time period.

[0079] In the specific execution process, the above-mentioned device also includes an acquisition module 33, which is used to acquire the handover priority of each first neighboring cell.

[0080] In the specific execution process, the acquisition module 33 is specifically used to send a first query request to the network management device, the first query request being used to query the handover priority of each first neighboring cell; and to receive the handover priority of each first neighboring cell sent by the network management device.

[0081] In the specific execution process, the execution module 32 is specifically used to determine the stability of each neighboring cell based on the dwell quality parameters of each neighboring cell within a preset time period; determine the continuity of each neighboring cell based on the handover quality parameters of each neighboring cell within a preset time period; and determine the handover priority of each neighboring cell based on stability and continuity.

[0082] In the specific execution process, the dwell quality parameters include connection rate and / or drop rate and / or packet loss rate and / or handover success rate. The execution module 32 is specifically used to determine the dwell quality of each neighboring cell based on the ratio between the connection rate and / or handover success rate and the drop rate and / or packet loss rate of each neighboring cell within a preset time period; and to determine the stability of each neighboring cell relative to its respective neighboring cell based on the dwell quality of each neighboring cell.

[0083] In the specific execution process, the handover quality parameters include handover latency and / or handover success rate; the execution module 32 is specifically used to determine the handover smoothness of each neighboring cell based on the handover latency of each neighboring cell within a preset time period; and to determine the continuity of each neighboring cell based on the product of the handover smoothness and the handover success rate.

[0084] In the specific execution process, the execution module 32 is specifically used to determine the stability weight and continuity weight of each neighboring cell based on the number of users accessing each neighboring cell within a preset time period and the dwell time; and to use the stability weight and continuity weight to weight the stability and continuity to obtain the switching priority of each neighboring cell.

[0085] In the above technical solution, firstly, the determining module 31 identifies each first neighboring cell whose RSRP is higher than a set threshold based on the measurement report sent by the user equipment. Then, the execution module 32 determines the first neighboring cell with the highest handover priority among the first neighboring cells as the target neighboring cell. The handover priority is determined based on the service quality parameters of each neighboring cell within a preset time period. Thus, while ensuring coverage strength, service stability can also be taken into account, improving the user's experience after accessing the target neighboring cell.
