Description

Technical Field

[0001] This document relates to the field of network technology, and in particular to an antenna parameter adjustment method and apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid construction and operation of 5G networks, operators face severe challenges in 5G wireless network planning and maintenance under the new circumstances. "Networks move with services," meaning 5G wireless coverage and resource planning need to be adaptively adjusted to meet the diverse needs of users and improve the overall perception of network support capabilities. Optimizing the weight parameters of massive MIMO antennas will directly impact wireless coverage and balance the adjustment and allocation of wireless resources.

[0003] Currently, 5G Massive MIMO antenna adjustment schemes primarily involve antenna selection and parameter setting during wireless network planning. After network activation, MR gridding is performed based on the distribution of 5G user measurement reports (MR) to identify weak coverage areas and pinpoint the base station cells within these areas. Based on these weak coverage regions, antenna transmit power, azimuth angle, and other antenna engineering parameters are adjusted to improve coverage and thus resolve the weak coverage problem in the network.

[0004] The aforementioned traditional Massive MIMO antenna parameter adjustment schemes can only improve network coverage and quality to a certain extent. However, in the face of the diverse service targets and industry needs of 5G networks, they cannot effectively meet the needs of the experience perception of all users and the balanced planning of network resources. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the embodiments in this specification is to provide an antenna parameter adjustment method and apparatus that can maximize the user's experience and perception needs for various service scenarios without increasing resources.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments in this specification adopt the following technical solutions:

[0007] Firstly, a method for adjusting antenna parameters is provided, including:

[0008] Acquire user network-related data, cell engineering parameters, and corresponding business scenarios within the grid of the area to be analyzed;

[0009] Based on the user network-related data within the grid, determine the steady-state users within the grid and the network performance index data of the steady-state users within the grid;

[0010] Based on the network performance index data of steady-state users in each grid of the region to be analyzed, the problem grid of the region to be analyzed is determined.

[0011] Based on the cell engineering parameters and corresponding service scenarios of the problematic grid, the base station antenna parameters of the problematic grid are adjusted.

[0012] Secondly, an antenna parameter adjustment device is provided, comprising:

[0013] The first acquisition unit is used to acquire user network-related data, cell engineering parameters, and corresponding business scenarios within the grid of the area to be analyzed.

[0014] The first determining unit is used to determine the steady-state users in the grid and the network performance index data of the steady-state users in the grid based on the user network-related data in the grid.

[0015] The second determining unit is used to determine the problem grid of the region to be analyzed based on the network performance index data of the steady-state users in each grid of the region to be analyzed.

[0016] The antenna parameter adjustment unit is used to adjust the base station antenna parameters of the problematic grid cell based on the cell engineering parameters and corresponding service scenarios of the problematic grid.

[0017] Thirdly, an electronic device is provided, comprising:

[0018] processor;

[0019] Memory used to store the processor's executable instructions;

[0020] The processor is configured to execute the instructions to implement the method as described in the first aspect.

[0021] Fourthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, wherein when instructions in the storage medium are executed by a processor of an electronic device, the electronic device is enabled to perform the method described in the first aspect.

[0022] The solution described in this specification analyzes user network-related data within a grid of the area to be analyzed to determine the steady-state users and their network performance metrics within that grid. Since the network performance metrics of steady-state users within a grid reflect the general service perception of network performance, problem grids within the area to be analyzed can be accurately identified based on the network performance metrics of steady-state users within their respective grids. Based on the cell engineering parameters and corresponding service scenarios of the problem grids, the base station antenna parameters of the problem grids are adjusted to maximize user experience across various service scenarios without increasing resources. Furthermore, the antenna parameter adjustment method described in this specification is independent of equipment manufacturers and base station antenna coverage scenarios, making it applicable across the entire network.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this specification clearer, the technical solutions of this specification will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this specification, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this document.

[0028] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in this specification and claims are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this specification can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, in this specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0029] To address the issue that traditional Massive MIMO antenna parameter adjustment schemes cannot effectively meet the needs of user experience perception and network resource balancing planning for all users, this specification provides an antenna parameter adjustment scheme. By analyzing user network-related data within the grid of the area to be analyzed, the scheme identifies steady-state users within the grid and their network performance metrics. Since the network performance metrics of steady-state users within a grid reflect the general service perception of network performance, problem grids within the area to be analyzed can be accurately identified based on the network performance metrics of steady-state users within their respective grids. Based on the cell engineering parameters and corresponding service scenarios of the problem grids, the base station antenna parameters of the problem grids are adjusted to maximize user experience perception for various service scenarios without increasing resources.

[0030] It should be understood that the antenna parameter adjustment method provided in the embodiments of this specification can be executed by an electronic device or by software installed in an electronic device, specifically by a terminal device or a server device.

[0031] The technical solutions provided in the various embodiments of this specification are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an antenna parameter adjustment method according to an embodiment of this specification. The method may include:

[0033] S102, obtain user network-related data, cell engineering parameters, and corresponding business scenarios within the grid of the area to be analyzed.

[0034] In the embodiments of this specification, for each grid within the area to be analyzed, the user network-related data within that grid refers to data that reflects the network performance of the users within that grid. Specifically, this may include, but is not limited to, user call detail record (CDR) signaling data, measurement report (MR) data, and Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) data. The user CDR XDR data may include, but is not limited to, S1-U interface signaling data and S1-MME interface signaling data. To make the obtained user network-related data more comprehensive and accurate, in an optional implementation, the user network-related data within the grid of the area to be analyzed can be obtained through the following steps:

[0035] Step A1: Obtain the geographical features of the area to be analyzed and the generated user network-related data.

[0036] Among these factors, whether the geographical features of the area to be analyzed can reflect the types of buildings contained within that area is crucial.

[0037] Step A2: Based on the geographical features of the area to be analyzed, the area to be analyzed is divided into multiple grids.

[0038] Specifically, the area to be analyzed can be divided into three-dimensional grids according to the grid size used for matching geographic features, thus obtaining multiple grids. For example, for high-rise buildings within the area to be analyzed, the high-rise buildings in the area to be analyzed can be divided into grids according to a height of 3 meters, while for the core urban area within the area to be analyzed, the core urban area can be divided into grids according to a grid size of 20*20 meters.

[0039] Step A3: Based on the UE-S1-APID field in the user call detail record (XDR) data and the UE-S1-APID field in the MR data, associate the user call detail record (XDR) data and the MR data.

[0040] It should be noted that associating different data by using the same field in different data is a technique known to those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated here.

[0041] Step A4: Based on the multiple grids obtained from the division of the area to be analyzed, as well as the associated user call detail record (XDR) data and MR data, determine the grid to which the user network-related data belongs.

[0042] After the user call detail record (XDR) data and MR data are associated, the location information in the MR data can be combined with the S1-U interface signaling data and S1-MME interface signaling data in the user call detail record (XDR) data. Based on the location information in the associated data, user network-related data can be rasterized. After rasterization, the raster to which the user network-related data belongs can be obtained. Statistical analysis can then be performed on the user network-related data within each raster of the area to be analyzed to determine the stable users within each raster and the network performance indicators of stable users within their respective rasteresms.

[0043] In the embodiments of this specification, for each grid within the area to be analyzed, the cell engineering parameters within the grid may include the basic engineering parameters of the primary serving cell within the grid. The basic engineering parameters of the primary serving cell may include, for example, but not limited to: the base station latitude and longitude, antenna azimuth, downtilt angle, site altitude, operating frequency, antenna type, and transmit power of the primary serving cell.

[0044] In the embodiments of this specification, for each grid within the area to be analyzed, the service scenario corresponding to the grid is used to indicate the target of the 5G network service within that grid, such as ToB users, ToC users, etc.

[0045] S104. Based on the user network-related data in each grid, determine the steady-state users in each grid and the network performance index data of the steady-state users in their respective grids.

[0046] In the embodiments of this specification, a steady-state user within a grid refers to a user who appears continuously within that grid for an extended period of time. In an optional implementation, for each grid, cluster analysis can be performed on the S1-MME interface data and Voice Over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) data in the XDR (X-Record Data Record) data of each user within that grid to determine the time periods during which each user appears within that grid. Furthermore, users who appear continuously within that grid for a duration exceeding a preset timeframe are identified as steady-state users within that grid. For example, if a user appears within a grid during the same time period for four out of seven days, that user can be identified as a steady-state user within that grid.

[0047] After identifying the steady-state users within each grid of the area to be analyzed, for each grid, the network performance indicators of the steady-state users within that grid can be obtained by analyzing their user network-related data. It should be noted that in practical applications, various techniques known to those skilled in the art can be used to analyze the user network-related data of the steady-state users within a grid to obtain their network performance indicators. This specification does not limit the specific techniques used in the embodiments, and the detailed analysis process will not be elaborated upon here.

[0048] In the embodiments of this specification, the network performance index data of a steady-state user within its assigned grid refers to data that reflects the network performance of the steady-state user within its assigned grid. Optionally, considering the differences in network performance when a user uses different services within the same grid, in order to comprehensively and objectively reflect the network performance within the grid of a steady-state user, the network performance index data of a steady-state user within its assigned grid may include index values ​​of multiple network performance indicators corresponding to various services for the steady-state user. These various services may include, for example, but are not limited to: video services, instant messaging services, navigation services, web browsing services, voice communication services, etc., and the multiple network performance indicators may include, for example, but are not limited to: call completion rate, call drop rate, interference level, latency, data rate, handover success rate, and coverage rate, etc.

[0049] S106. Based on the network performance index data of steady-state users in each grid of the region to be analyzed, determine the problem grid of the region to be analyzed.

[0050] Since the network performance index data of steady-state users within their respective grids refers to data that reflects the network performance of steady-state users within their respective grids, by analyzing the network performance index data of steady-state users within each grid of the area to be analyzed, it is possible to determine whether there are network performance problems in each grid of the area to be analyzed, that is, to identify the problem grids in the area to be analyzed.

[0051] To accurately identify the problem grid in the area to be analyzed, in one optional implementation, S106 may include the following steps:

[0052] Step B1: For various services, based on the indicator values ​​of multiple network performance indicators corresponding to the steady-state users in each grid of the area to be analyzed under the service and the weights of the multiple network performance indicators corresponding to the service, determine the experience perception score of the steady-state users in each grid of the area to be analyzed for the service.

[0053] Specifically, for each steady-state user within each grid of the area to be analyzed, if the value of a certain network performance indicator for that steady-state user under that service is less than the threshold value of that network performance indicator for that service, then the weight of that network performance indicator for that service is determined as the user's perceived experience score for that network performance indicator within that service; otherwise, the user's perceived experience score for that network performance indicator within that service is determined to be 0. Further, by summing the perceived experience scores of the steady-state user within that grid for multiple network performance indicators within that service, the user's perceived experience score for that service within that grid can be obtained.

[0054] It should be noted that the threshold values ​​and weights of various network performance indicators for different services can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments in this specification do not impose specific limitations on this. For example, Table 1 below shows the threshold values ​​of various network performance indicators under different services, and Table 2 below outputs the weights of various network performance indicators under different services, where S1 to S5 represent the service identifiers of various services, t1 to t7 represent the threshold values ​​of various network performance indicators, and r1 to r7 represent the weights of various network performance indicators.

[0056]

[0057] Table 2

[0058]

[0059] Step B2: Based on the steady-state user experience perception scores for various services in each grid of the area to be analyzed, determine the comprehensive service perception score corresponding to each grid of the area to be analyzed.

[0060] Specifically, for each steady-state user within each grid, the sum of the user's experience perception scores for various services can be determined as the user's service perception score for that grid. Then, the average of the service perception scores of all steady-state users within that grid is determined as the comprehensive service perception score for that grid. That is, the comprehensive service perception score for each grid in the area to be analyzed can be determined by the following formula (1):

[0061]

[0062] Where V represents the comprehensive service perception score corresponding to the grid, ki represents the index value of the i-th user in the k-th network performance index corresponding to the s-th service, tk represents the index threshold of the k-th network performance index corresponding to the s-th service, rk represents the weight of the k-th network performance index corresponding to the s-th service, K represents the number of network performance indexes, m represents the number of services, and n represents the number of steady-state users in the grid.

[0063] Step B3: Identify the grid cells in the area to be analyzed whose comprehensive business perception score exceeds the preset perception score threshold as problem grid cells in the area to be analyzed.

[0064] The preset perception score threshold can be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0065] It is understandable that in the above implementation, when determining the experience perception scores of steady-state users for various services in each grid of the area to be analyzed, the impact of various network performance indicators of steady-state users in each grid on user experience perception is comprehensively considered, making the determined experience perception scores of steady-state users for various services more accurate and objective. Furthermore, based on the experience perception scores of steady-state users for various services in each grid, the comprehensive service perception score corresponding to each grid is determined, comprehensively considering the experience perception of different steady-state users for different services in each grid. Thus, based on the comprehensive service perception score corresponding to each grid, the identified problem grids can reflect the network optimization needs of various users and various services, thereby enabling subsequent adjustments to the cell base station antenna parameters of this problem grid to effectively meet the experience perception needs of various users for various services.

[0066] S108, Based on the cell engineering parameters of the problematic grid and the corresponding service scenario, adjust the base station antenna parameters of the problematic grid.

[0067] In the embodiments of this specification, the cell base station antenna parameters refer to the antenna parameters of the base station antenna of the primary serving cell, which may include, but are not limited to, the built-in downtilt angle of the base station antenna, the antenna scenario type, the base station power, the azimuth angle, and the mechanical downtilt angle.

[0068] To better meet users' experience perception needs in various business scenarios, in one optional implementation, the above S108 may include the following steps:

[0069] Step C1: Based on the relationships between rasters within the area to be analyzed and the business scenarios corresponding to the rasters, cluster problem rasters with the same business scenarios to obtain multiple clustered regions.

[0070] In the embodiments of this specification, the relationships between grids within the area to be analyzed can ensure whether the grids are adjacent. By clustering adjacent problem grids with the same business scenario, multiple clustering regions can be obtained, and each clustering region includes at least one problem grid. The relationships between grids within the area to be analyzed can be obtained when dividing the area into grids, and will not be described in detail here.

[0071] Step C2: Select the cluster regions containing more than a preset threshold number of problem grids from multiple cluster regions as the problem regions to be optimized.

[0072] The more problem grids a cluster contains, the worse the user's perception of the business experience within that cluster. Based on this, clusters containing more than a preset threshold of problem grids can be identified as problem areas that need to be optimized.

[0073] In the embodiments of this specification, the preset quantity threshold can be set according to actual needs, and this specification does not impose specific limitations on it. For example, the preset quantity threshold can be set to 5.

[0074] Step C3: Based on the cell engineering parameters of the problem grid within the problem area to be optimized, adjust the base station antenna parameters of the problem area.

[0075] Specifically, the antenna-related parameters of the primary serving cell in the problem area can be fed back via the southbound interface to form a list of base station antenna parameters (such as 5G Massive MIMO antennas) for the primary serving cell. Based on the basic engineering parameters of the primary serving cell, the parameters of its base station antennas can then be adjusted. More specifically, to better meet users' needs for wireless resources, when adjusting the base station antenna parameters of the primary serving cell, the current wireless resource index data of the primary serving cell can be determined based on its basic engineering parameters and current base station antenna parameters. Then, based on the current wireless resource index data of the primary serving cell in the problem area and the preset wireless resource requirements, the current base station antenna parameters of the primary serving cell can be adjusted to ensure that the wireless resources in the problem area meet the preset requirements.

[0076] In practice, the base station antenna parameters of the primary serving cell can be adjusted based on the difference between the current radio resource index data and the preset radio resource requirements. The radio resource index data of the primary serving cell after the base station antenna parameter adjustment can be obtained again. If the preset radio resource requirements are still not met, the above process is repeated until the radio resource index data of the primary serving cell meets the preset radio resource requirements.

[0077] It should be noted that the radio resource index data of the primary serving cell refers to data reflecting the radio resource usage of the primary serving cell, and the specific data can be selected according to actual needs. This specification does not impose specific limitations on this selection in the embodiments. Furthermore, the current radio resource index data of the primary serving cell can be determined using various technical means known to those skilled in the art, and this specification does not impose specific limitations on this selection in the embodiments.

[0078] Considering that in actual implementation, the base station antenna parameters of the primary serving cell may need to be adjusted multiple times to meet the requirements, in order to reduce the number of times the base station antenna parameters of the primary serving cell need to be adjusted, the optimal adjustment scheme for the base station antenna parameters of the primary serving cell can be determined through simulation analysis. Then, the base station antenna can be adjusted based on the optimal adjustment scheme to save adjustment costs and improve adjustment efficiency.

[0079] Specifically, determining the current radio resource index data of the primary serving cell includes: establishing a base station antenna model of the primary serving cell based on the basic engineering parameters and current base station antenna parameters of the primary serving cell in the problem area; and performing radio resource simulation analysis based on the base station antenna model of the primary serving cell to obtain the current radio resource index data of the primary serving cell.

[0080] Accordingly, the current base station antenna parameters of the primary serving cell are adjusted, including: if the current radio resource index data of the primary serving cell does not meet the preset radio resource requirements, the current radio resource index data of the primary serving cell is updated; the above steps of establishing the base station antenna model of the primary serving cell based on the current radio resource index data of the primary serving cell and the preset radio resource requirements are repeated until the current radio resource index data of the primary serving cell meets the radio resource requirements; furthermore, the base station antenna parameters when the current radio resource index data of the primary serving cell meets the radio resource requirements are determined as the target antenna parameters, and the base station antenna parameters of the primary serving cell are adjusted based on the target antenna parameters.

[0081] It should be noted that the establishment of base station antenna models and the simulation analysis of wireless resources can be achieved through modeling and analysis methods known to those skilled in the art, and the embodiments in this specification do not specifically limit this.

[0082] To further improve the effectiveness of base station antenna parameter adjustment in problem areas and better meet users' experience and perception needs for various service scenarios, in another embodiment of this specification, after adjusting the current base station antenna parameters of the primary serving cell based on the current radio resource index data and preset radio resource requirements in S108, the antenna parameter adjustment method provided in this embodiment may further include: for the problem area, acquiring user network-related data of the problem grid within the problem area again, and determining the network performance index data of the steady-state users within the problem grid after antenna parameter adjustment based on the user network-related data of the problem grid; then, based on the network performance index data of the steady-state users within the problem grid before and after antenna parameter adjustment, determining whether the antenna parameter adjustment of the problem area has reached the preset adjustment target; if not, repeating the above steps of adjusting the cell base station antenna parameters of the problem grid based on the cell engineering parameters and corresponding service scenarios of the problem grid until the antenna parameter adjustment of the problem area reaches the adjustment target.

[0083] In the embodiments of this specification, the above-mentioned adjustment target can be preset according to actual needs, and this specification does not specifically limit it. For example, the above-mentioned adjustment target can be set to improve the network performance index data of steady-state users in the problem grid within the problem area after antenna parameter adjustment compared to the network performance index data before antenna parameter adjustment. Alternatively, the above-mentioned adjustment target can also be set to reduce the number of problem grids in the problem area after antenna parameter adjustment compared to the number of problem grids before strip parameter adjustment.

[0084] The antenna parameter adjustment method provided in one or more embodiments of this specification analyzes user network-related data within a grid of the area to be analyzed to determine the steady-state users and their network performance indicators within the grid. Since the network performance indicators of steady-state users within a grid reflect the general service perception of network performance within that grid, problem grids in the area to be analyzed can be accurately identified based on the network performance indicators of steady-state users within their respective grids. Based on the cell engineering parameters and corresponding service scenarios of the problem grids, the base station antenna parameters of the problem grid cells are adjusted to maximize user experience and perception requirements for various service scenarios without increasing resources. Furthermore, the antenna parameter adjustment method in the embodiments of this specification is independent of equipment manufacturers and base station antenna coverage scenarios, and has the basis for widespread application across the entire network.

[0085] In addition, with the above Figure 1Corresponding to the antenna parameter adjustment method shown, this specification also provides an antenna parameter adjustment device in its embodiments. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an antenna parameter adjustment device 200 provided in the embodiments of this specification, including:

[0090] The antenna parameter adjustment device provided in this specification analyzes the acquired user network-related data within a grid of the area to be analyzed to determine the steady-state users within the grid and their network performance indicators. Since the network performance indicators of steady-state users within a grid reflect the general service perception of network performance within that grid, problem grids in the area to be analyzed can be accurately identified based on the network performance indicators of steady-state users within their respective grids.
