Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a classification method, device and equipment for cell coverage scenarios. Background Art

[0002] In wireless network optimization, there are many cell coverage scenarios, such as roads, residential areas, commercial buildings, high-speed railways, industrial areas, etc. Different scenarios have various coverage and capacity requirements, corresponding to different parameter matching solutions. Accurate coverage scenario information can effectively guide the development of wireless network optimization work and improve network performance and user perception. However, the definition of cell coverage scenarios has always been a major problem in wireless network optimization. A cell coverage often involves multiple scenarios, which cannot be generalized.

[0003] The classification definition of existing base station coverage scenarios generally includes electronic maps or on-site surveys, based on the actual topography of the problem area, building features, traffic flow and other scenario attributes, combined with manual judgment to conduct scenario review and judgment. The correctness of the review and judgment is strongly related to the optimization experience and technical level of the personnel. At the same time, it is not sensitive to network changes and lacks an automatic update mechanism, so it is insufficient in accuracy. It can also be based on the measurement report MR data, combined with the tracking area TA, reference signal received power RSRP and other information in the measurement report MR report, to comprehensively judge the user's scenario, such as weak coverage, insufficient deep coverage, and open area.

Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to enable the scope of the present invention to be fully communicated to those skilled in the art.

[0033] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for classifying cell coverage scenarios provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0034] Step 11, receiving a measurement report reported by the terminal;

[0035] Step 12, obtaining a measurement feature sequence of the sampling points according to the measurement report;

[0036] Step 13, obtaining weights of multiple measurement feature sequences of at least one cell;

[0037] Step 14: classify the cell coverage scenarios according to the weights of the multiple measurement feature sequences.

[0038] In this embodiment, the measurement feature sequence of the sampling point is obtained according to the measurement report reported by the terminal, the weights of multiple measurement feature sequences of at least one cell are obtained, and the cell coverage scenarios are classified according to the weights; the classification information of the identifiable cell coverage scenarios is realized, thereby improving the accuracy, and at the same time facilitating the maintenance and updating of the cell coverage scenario information.

[0039] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 12 includes:

[0040] Step 121, preprocessing the data of the sampling points in the measurement report to obtain a data processing result;

[0041] Step 122, classifying the signal strength value of the synchronization signal block carried by at least one beam in the data processing result to obtain at least one strength category and the number of beams corresponding to each strength category;

[0042] Step 123: Obtain a measurement feature sequence of sampling points according to the number of beams of the at least one intensity category.

[0043] The data processing result includes at least one of the following:

[0044] Sampling point identification;

[0045] Cell ID;

[0046] The combined value of the cell signal strength values;

[0047] The signal strength value of the synchronization signal block carried by at least one beam.

[0048] In this embodiment, the data of the sampling points in the measurement report are preprocessed, including:

[0049] Selecting a data processing result in the measurement report, the data processing result including a sampling point identifier; a cell identifier; a combined value of a cell signal strength value; and at least one of a signal strength value of a synchronization signal block carried by at least one beam;

[0050] Preferably, preprocessing the data of the sampling points in the measurement report may also include: screening the data processing results by a preset data range, screening out the data processing results of the sampling points that are not within the preset data range, so as to ensure the accuracy of the classification of the cell coverage scene;

[0051] The signal strength value of the synchronization signal block carried by the beam in the data processing result obtained after preprocessing is classified, preferably into strong, medium, and weak, but the present application is not limited thereto, and can also be divided into strong, medium-strong, medium, medium-weak, weak, and first-level strength, second-level strength, third-level strength, fourth-level strength, etc. The strength categories can be divided according to needs. The more the strength categories are divided, the more the classification categories of the cell coverage scenarios are divided;

[0052] According to the classification of the signal strength values ​​of the synchronization signal blocks carried by the beams, they are sorted in a preset order to obtain the number of beams of at least one intensity category, and according to the number of beams of at least one intensity category of each sampling point, a measurement feature sequence corresponding to the sampling point is obtained. It can also include obtaining the sequence value of the sampling point according to the measurement feature sequence corresponding to the sampling point.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, as shown in the following table;

[0054]

[0055] Table 1

[0056] As shown in Table 1, the measurement report MR reported by the terminal is obtained, and the measurement report MR is preprocessed to obtain a data processing report, which includes a sampling point ID (Identity document), an ECI (E-UTRAN Cell Identifier), a cell-level RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) combined value, and a SSB (Synchronization Signal and PBCH) with beam numbers from 1 to 8. block, synchronization signal and PBCH block) beam measurement RSRP value; wherein, the attribution ECI value is a cell identifier used to number the cell; in order to ensure the accuracy of the classification of the cell coverage scenario, the preset data range is (-100dBm, +∞), and after screening, the combined value of the cell-level RSRP of the sampling point IDs 1 and 2 is within the preset data range, so the data of the sampling point ID 1 in Table 1 and the corresponding cell-level RSRP combined value of -86dBm are retained, and the sampling point ID is 2 and the corresponding cell-level RSRP combined value is -88dBm. The data is retained, and each sampling point in the data processing result is screened in turn to obtain the data processing result after screening;

[0057] In the above step 122, when specifically implemented, the strength categories may be set to strong, medium, and weak to classify the RSRP values ​​measured by the SSB beam; the range of the strength category is:

[0058] Strong: SSB beam measured RSRP value > combined value of cell-level RSRP + 5dBm;

[0059] Medium: The combined value of cell-level RSRP +5dBm ≥ SSB beam measurement RSRP value ≥ the combined value of cell-level RSRP -5dBm;

[0060] Weak: The RSRP value measured by the SSB beam is less than the combined value of the cell-level RSRP -5dBm;

[0061] When the SSB beam measured RSRP value is greater than the combined value of the cell-level RSRP + 5dBm, the SSB beam measured RSRP value is classified as strong; when the SSB beam measured RSRP value is less than the combined value of the cell-level RSRP - 5dBm, the SSB beam measured RSRP value is classified as weak; when the SSB beam measured RSRP value is less than the combined value of the cell-level RSRP + 5dBm, and the SSB beam measured RSRP value is greater than the combined value of the cell-level RSRP - 5dBm, the SSB beam measured RSRP value is classified as medium;

[0062] The division results are shown in the following table:

[0063]

[0064] Table 2

[0065] As shown in Table 2, the number of SSB beams corresponding to each sampling point in each intensity category is taken as an element of the measurement characteristic sequence of the sampling point, and the number of SSB beams corresponding to the intensity category is arranged in a preset order to obtain a measurement characteristic sequence; the measurement characteristic sequence is represented as a sequence value in decimal form; it should be noted here that the sequence value is a form of expression of the measurement characteristic sequence, and the measurement characteristic sequence can be represented by a sequence value or not;

[0066] In Table 2, the sampling point with sampling point ID 1 has a corresponding ECI value of A, the number of SSB beams with a strong intensity category is 1, the number of SSB beams with a medium intensity category is 1, and the number of SSB beams with a weak intensity category is 5. The values ​​of the number of beams are sorted in the order of strong, medium, and weak, and the measurement feature sequence ID is "1-1-5". In order to display the measurement feature sequence more intuitively, the sequence value is 115 in decimal form;

[0067] The sampling point with sampling point ID 2 has a corresponding ECI value of A, the number of SSB beams with a strong intensity category is 0, the number of SSB beams with a medium intensity category is 2, and the number of SSB beams with a weak intensity category is 6;

[0068] The quantity values ​​are sorted in the order of strong, medium, and weak, and the measurement feature sequence ID is obtained as "0-2-6". In order to display the measurement feature sequence more intuitively, the sequence value is obtained in decimal form as 026.

[0069] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 13 includes:

[0070] Step 131, obtaining the total number of sampling points of at least one cell and the number of sampling points corresponding to each measurement feature sequence;

[0071] Step 132: Obtain weights of multiple measurement feature sequences of at least one cell according to the ratio of the number of sampling points corresponding to each measurement feature sequence to the total number of sampling points.

[0072] In this embodiment, based on the cell identifier and measurement feature sequence corresponding to the sampling points, the total number of sampling points of at least one cell and the number of sampling points corresponding to each measurement feature sequence are obtained, wherein the total number of sampling points of the cell is the total number of sampling points corresponding to one cell identifier; the number of sampling points corresponding to the measurement feature sequence is the total number of sampling points corresponding to one measurement feature sequence; based on the number of sampling points corresponding to each measurement feature sequence and the total number of sampling points, the weights of multiple measurement feature sequences of at least one cell are obtained by ratio calculation.

[0073] In a specific embodiment, statistics are performed based on the belonging ECI and the measurement feature sequence of the sampling points to obtain the number of sampling points of each measurement feature sequence under the corresponding belonging ECI, as shown in the following table:

[0074] ECI Measuring feature sequence Sequence value Number of sampling points A 1-1-5 115 10 A 0-2-6 26 10 A 3-2-3 323 30 A 5-2-1 521 50 …

[0075] Table 3

[0076] As shown in Table 3, the corresponding measurement feature sequences under the cell with the attribute ECI value of A include "1-1-5", "0-2-6", "3-2-3" and "5-2-1", and their corresponding sequence values ​​are 115, 26, 323 and 521 respectively. The number of sampling points corresponding to the measurement feature sequence "1-1-5" is 10, the number of sampling points corresponding to the measurement feature sequence "0-2-6" is 10, the number of sampling points corresponding to the measurement feature sequence "3-2-3" is 30, and the number of sampling points corresponding to the measurement feature sequence "5-2-1" is 50;

[0077] According to the number of sampling points of the measurement feature sequence corresponding to each cell belonging to the ECI value and the total number of sampling points of each cell belonging to the ECI value, the weights of multiple measurement feature sequences of each cell belonging to the ECI value can be obtained by ratio calculation, as shown in the following table:

[0078]

[0079] Table 4

[0080] As shown in Table 4, the total number of sampling points of the cell with ECI value A is 100, and its corresponding first measurement feature sequence is "5-2-1". The number of corresponding sampling points in Table 3 is 50. Through ratio calculation, the weight 1 of the first measurement feature sequence of the cell with ECI value A is 50%; the second measurement feature sequence of the cell with ECI value A is "1-1-5". The number of corresponding sampling points in Table 3 is 30. Through ratio calculation, the weight 2 of the second measurement feature sequence of the cell with ECI value A is 30%; similarly, it can be obtained that the weight 1 of the first measurement feature sequence of the cell with ECI value B is 40%, and the weight 2 of the second measurement feature sequence is 30%; the weight 1 of the first measurement feature sequence of the cell with ECI value C is 60%, and the weight 2 of the second measurement feature sequence is 10%.

[0081] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 14 includes:

[0082] Step 141: classify the cell coverage scenario according to weights of multiple measurement feature sequences and at least one preset threshold.

[0083] Optionally, step 141 includes:

[0084] Step 1411: if the weight of at least one Nth measurement feature sequence of a cell is greater than an Nth preset threshold, determine that the sampling point corresponding to at least one Nth measurement feature sequence is an Nth type of cell coverage scenario;

[0085] Step 1412: If the weight of at least one N+1th measurement feature sequence of a cell is greater than the N+1th preset threshold and less than the Nth preset threshold, determine that the sampling point corresponding to at least one N+1th measurement feature sequence is the N+1th type of cell coverage scenario; wherein the N+1th measurement feature sequence and the Nth measurement feature sequence are different measurement feature sequences, the N+1th preset threshold is less than the Nth preset threshold, and N is a positive integer.

[0086] In this embodiment, at least one preset threshold is set for the weights of the multiple measurement feature sequences corresponding to the cell, and the preset threshold can preferably be determined according to the classification requirements;

[0087] When the weight of at least one Nth measurement feature sequence corresponding to a cell is greater than the Nth preset threshold, the cell corresponding to the at least one Nth measurement feature sequence is an Nth type of cell coverage scenario; when the weight of at least one N+1th measurement feature sequence of a cell is greater than the N+1th preset threshold and less than the Nth preset threshold, the cell corresponding to the at least one N+1th measurement feature sequence is an N+1th type of cell coverage scenario; wherein, when the weight of at least one first measurement feature sequence corresponding to a cell is greater than the first preset threshold, the measurement feature sequence with the largest weight in at least one first measurement feature sequence is preferably selected as the first type of cell coverage scenario;

[0088] It should be noted that the N+1th measurement feature sequence and the Nth measurement feature sequence are different measurement feature sequences, and the N+1th preset threshold is smaller than the Nth preset threshold.

[0089] In a specific embodiment, the weights of the corresponding multiple measurement feature sequences belonging to the ECI cell in Table 4 are classified, wherein the classification categories are primary scene, secondary scene 1 and secondary scene 2; the first preset threshold is 30%, and the second preset threshold is 15%, as shown in the following table:

[0090] ECI Main scene Weight Secondary scene 1 Weight 1 Secondary scene 2 Weight 2 A 5-2-1 50% 1-1-5 30% B 0-2-6 40% 1-1-5 30% C 3-2-3 60% 2-2-4 20% …

[0091] Table 5

[0092] As shown in Table 5, the cell belonging to the ECI value A can be seen from Table 4 that the weight 1 of the first measurement feature sequence is 50%, which is greater than the first preset threshold of 30%. Therefore, the sampling point corresponding to the first measurement feature sequence of the cell belonging to the ECI value A is classified as the main scene, and the weight 1 of the second measurement feature sequence is 30%, which is not greater than the first preset threshold of 30% and greater than the second preset threshold of 15%. Therefore, the sampling point corresponding to the second measurement feature sequence of the cell belonging to the ECI value A is classified as the secondary scene 1;

[0093] Similarly, the weight 1 of the first measurement feature sequence of the cell with an ECI value of B can be 40%, which is greater than the first preset threshold of 30%. Therefore, the sampling points corresponding to the first measurement feature sequence of the cell with an ECI value of B are classified as the main scene, and the weight 1 of the second measurement feature sequence is 30%, which is not greater than the first preset threshold of 30% and is greater than the second preset threshold of 15%. Therefore, the sampling points corresponding to the second measurement feature sequence of the cell with an ECI value of B are classified as secondary scene 1; the weight 1 of the first measurement feature sequence of the cell with an ECI value of C is 60%, which is greater than the first preset threshold of 30%. Therefore, the sampling points corresponding to the first measurement feature sequence of the cell with an ECI value of C are classified as the main scene, and the weight 1 of the second measurement feature sequence is 20%, which is not greater than the first preset threshold of 30% and is greater than the second preset threshold of 15%. Therefore, the sampling points corresponding to the second measurement feature sequence of the cell with an ECI value of C are classified as secondary scene 1.

[0094] Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a process for classifying cell coverage scenarios in a specific embodiment provided by the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the base station receives the measurement report reported by the terminal, and classifies the cell coverage scenario according to the measurement report, specifically including:

[0095] Step 1, obtaining a data processing result by preprocessing the data in the reported measurement report;

[0096] Step 2, obtaining a measurement feature sequence corresponding to the cell by classifying the signal strength values ​​of the synchronization signal blocks carried by at least one beam of the data processing result;

[0097] Step 3, by proportionally calculating the weight of the measurement feature sequence corresponding to the cell, a weight value corresponding to the measurement feature sequence corresponding to the cell is obtained;

[0098] Step 4: Classify the cell coverage scenarios according to the weight values ​​corresponding to the measurement feature sequences corresponding to the cells.

[0099] The solution of the present invention is as follows: a measurement report reported by a receiving terminal is obtained; a measurement feature sequence of a sampling point is obtained according to the measurement report; weights of multiple measurement feature sequences of at least one cell are obtained; and the cell coverage scenarios are classified according to the weights of the multiple measurement feature sequences. The user groups with similar downlink coverage reception performance in the cell can be efficiently output, and the cell coverage scenarios are classified and determined in combination with the weight values ​​of the measurement feature sequences corresponding to the cell, thereby achieving coverage guidance and parameter optimization.

[0100] Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a classification method for a cell coverage scenario applied to a terminal provided by another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0101] Step 31, generating a measurement report; the measurement report is used to enable the base station to obtain a measurement feature sequence of a sampling point according to the measurement report; obtain weights of multiple measurement feature sequences of at least one cell; and classify the cell coverage scenario according to the weights of the multiple measurement feature sequences;

[0102] Step 32: Send the measurement report to a base station.

[0103] Figure 4 FIG. 4 shows a flow chart of a terminal generating a measurement report according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the terminal preferably performs measurement by scanning synchronization signal blocks carried by multiple beams, obtains signal strength values ​​measured by synchronization signal blocks carried by multiple beams, and sends a measurement report to the base station, wherein the measurement report sent to the base station includes report data of the synchronization signal block measurement carried by the beam and report data after merging the values ​​of the synchronization signal block measurement carried by the beam;

[0104] It should be noted that the combined value of the cell signal strength value can be obtained by merging the signal strength values ​​measured for the synchronization signal blocks carried by the beams; due to different scenarios and the influence of various emission, refraction and other factors affecting the signal, the terminal detects different signal strength values ​​of the synchronization signal blocks carried by each beam. By sending the measurement report to the base station for processing, the user coverage feature model is evaluated, the cell coverage scenarios are classified, and then the user groups with similar characteristics in the cell are identified.

[0105] Optionally, the combined value of the cell signal strength value includes:

[0106] When the signal strength values ​​of the synchronization signal blocks carried by all beams in the neighboring area measured by the terminal are lower than the combined value threshold of the cell signal strength value, the terminal preferably selects the maximum value of the signal strength values ​​of the synchronization signal blocks carried by all beams as the combined value of the cell signal strength value;

[0107] Otherwise, the terminal preferably uses the average value of all signal strength values ​​of the synchronization signal blocks carried by all beams in the neighboring cells measured by the terminal that are higher than the combined value threshold of the cell signal strength values ​​as the combined value of the cell signal strength values.

[0108] It should be noted that the classification method for cell coverage scenarios applied to terminals is a device corresponding to the above-mentioned classification method for cell coverage scenarios applied to base stations, and all implementation methods in the above-mentioned classification method embodiments for cell coverage scenarios applied to base stations are applicable to the embodiments of the method and can achieve the same technical effect.
