[0002] With the increasing popularity of mobile Internet and Internet of Things services, various types of intelligent terminals including mobile terminals, sports bands and other devices are emerging, the number of users is increasing, and people have increasingly high requirements for mobile data services. The demand for wireless transmission speed and system capacity is also showing an exponential growth trend. Therefore, the continuous evolution of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard, the carrier aggregation (CA) technology is introduced in 3GPP R10, and is enhanced in R13 version, which supports a maximum of 32 carriers and can achieve a peak rate of more than 20Gbps.

[0003] The CA technology can aggregate multiple component carriers (CCs) to achieve a larger transmission bandwidth and effectively improve the uplink and downlink transmission rates. However, there are many types of aggregated component carriers supported by different chip modules. If the types of aggregated component carriers (CA Combo) supported by the chip module exceed the upper limit supported by the radio resource control (RRC), on the one hand, it will cause the user equipment capability information (UECapabilityInformation) to be reported, and all CA Combo cannot be reported, which may cause some CA Combo to be unable to register.

[0034] The following will provide a detailed explanation of each step of the statistical method 1000 for carrier aggregation.

[0035] Step S100

[0036] In step S100, the capability information of the user equipment is first obtained. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a communication environment according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. In the exemplary embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the communication environment may include a User Equipment (UE) and a base station (eNodeB), and the UE and base station are in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection state. UE capability queries and UE capability information transmission can be completed between the UE and the base station. The base station can send a signaling request to the UE to request a UE capability information (UE Capability Enquiry). After receiving the UE capability information request, the UE sends UE capability information (UE Capability Information) to the base station. The UE capability information obtained by the base station is decoded into a code segment. For example, the decoded code segment is as follows:

[0037]

[0038] The above information can be obtained by capturing the qxdm log from the Zhuwang website. As can be seen from the code above, this code segment contains multiple identifier segments and their corresponding functions. For example, the function information corresponding to the identifier segments may include: the carrier aggregation bandwidth class (CA Bandwidth Class), multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capability, bandwidth combination set (BCS), and the band index of the component carriers. Based on the function information corresponding to the identifier segments, it can be determined that the module chip supports carrier aggregation (Band combination), the band indices of the component carriers are band7 and band1, the CA bandwidth capability in the uplink information is 'a', and it has multiple-input multiple-output capability.

[0039] Step S200

[0040] After obtaining the UE capability information of the user equipment, the raw bandwidth combination information can also be obtained based on the UE capability information.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the identifier character segment of the UE capability information can be located first. For example, the located character segment can be: bandEUTRA-r10, ca-BandwidthClassUL-r10, ca-BandwidthClassDL-r10, etc. Then, the functional information corresponding to the identifier character segment is extracted. For example, the information to be extracted is 7, a, a, 1, a. The extracted functional information corresponding to the identifier character segment is combined to form the original bandwidth combination information, i.e., 7AA-1A. Furthermore, through the original bandwidth combination information, it can be seen that the chip module supports carrier aggregation of two bands, band7 and band1, and the cell served by band7 is the primary cell, while the cell served by band1 is the secondary cell. Specifically, the original bandwidth combination information can be obtained as follows: the functional information corresponding to the identifier character segment of the UE capability information located in the UE Capability Information is copied from the qxdm log, processed, and saved to a txt file (ue_cap.txt) as the original bandwidth combination information.

[0042] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, the identifier character segment of the UE capability information can be located first. For example, the located character segment can be: bandEUTRA-r10, ca-BandwidthClassUL-r10, ca-BandwidthClassDL-r10, MIMO-CapabilityDL, etc. Then, the functional information corresponding to the identifier character segment is extracted. For example, the information to be extracted is 7, a, a, 1, a, four Layers, four Layers. The extracted functional information corresponding to the identifier character segment is combined to form the original bandwidth combination information, namely 7AA4-1A4 and 7AA2-1A2. And through the original bandwidth combination information, it can be seen that the chip module supports carrier aggregation of two bands, band7 and band1, and the cell served by band7 is the primary cell, the cell served by band1 is the secondary cell, and the downlink data supports 4*4 MIMO and is compatible with 2*2 MIMO. Specifically, the original bandwidth combination information can be obtained as follows: in the qxdm log, copy the function information corresponding to the identifier character field of the UE Capability Information, process it, and save it to a txt file (ue_cap.txt) as the original bandwidth combination information.

[0043] For example, the raw bandwidth combination information can be obtained from the UE capability information as follows, wherein the raw bandwidth combination information does not include MIMO information:

[0044]

[0045]

[0046] Table 1

[0047] For example, the raw bandwidth combination information can be obtained from the UE capability information as follows, wherein the raw bandwidth combination information includes MIMO information:

[0048] In-band contiguous carrier aggregation In-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation Inter-band carrier aggregation 2C4 2AA4-2A4 1AA4-3A4 4C2 25AA4-25A4 1AA4-4A2 25C4 4AA2-4A2 1AA4-18A4 40D4 7AA4-7A4 1AA4-19A4 41C4 41AA4-41A4 1AA4-20A4 66B4 48AA2-48A2 1AA4-26A4 66D4 66AA4-66A4 2AA4-4A2

[0049] Table 2

[0050] Table 1 or Table 2 shows that the chip module supports three carrier aggregation methods: Intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation (CA), Intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation (CA), and Inter-band carrier aggregation (CA). It also clearly shows the types of member carriers supported under each carrier aggregation method. Table 2 also provides MIMO information included in the chip module.

[0051] Those skilled in the art will recognize that Tables 1 and 2 are exemplary descriptions of the types of carrier aggregation supported by the chip module. The actual types and number of carrier aggregations supported by the chip module are far more than these, and the method of storing the original bandwidth combination information is not limited to these.

[0052] According to an exemplary implementation of this application, by obtaining the original bandwidth combination information from the UE capability information, the number of aggregation types (CA Combo) of the member carriers supported by the chip module can be better obtained.

[0053] Step S300

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, after obtaining the original bandwidth combination information, a preset filtering rule can be used to perform a first filtering of the original bandwidth combination information to obtain first bandwidth combination information; wherein, the preset filtering rule includes the network matching the user equipment. For example, the chip module supports a large bandwidth, generally covering the bandwidth information of multiple operators. Each operator matches different network bandwidths. Therefore, the original bandwidth combination information can be first filtered based on the operators supported by the user equipment. For instance, if the user equipment supports China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom, the original bandwidth combination information can be first filtered based on the bandwidth information supported by these three operators, removing bandwidth combination information supported by other operators to obtain the first bandwidth combination information supported by China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom. Alternatively, the user equipment's network, i.e., the operator, can be detected, and the original bandwidth combination information can be compared with the bandwidth supported by the operator's network to ensure that the bandwidth combination information after the first filtering meets the bandwidth range of the current operator. The specific operation can be as follows: The program for the first screening can be a script (python ca_tools.py 1ue_cap.txt), and then execute python ca_tools.py 1ue_cap.txt. After the script is executed, it will save the aggregation type (CA Combo) information of the member carriers that meet the conditions to the specified file (ue_cap_ca_combo.txt).

[0055] According to an exemplary embodiment of this application, by performing a first screening on the original bandwidth combination information, first bandwidth combination information that matches the network of the user equipment can be obtained, removing some of the aggregation types (CACombo) of component carriers, thus reducing the size of the CA Combo reported in the user equipment capability information (UECapabilityInformation). By statistically reporting the CA Combo through this application, errors caused by manual statistics are avoided, the efficiency of CA Combo statistical reporting is improved, and subsequent testing time is saved. Furthermore, this application can also statistically determine the CA Combo supported by the network for the user equipment, reducing the size of the user equipment capability information and preventing the user equipment capability information from becoming too large to be processed by the base station.

[0056] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, if the user equipment supports multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capability, and the first bandwidth combination information includes MIMO capability information, the first bandwidth combination information can be further filtered a second time to remove duplicate bandwidth combinations and generate second bandwidth combination information. The chip module of this application supports MIMO capability, and the first bandwidth combination information can include the carrier aggregation type (CA Combo) with MIMO information. To further reduce the number of reported CA Combos, the first bandwidth combination information can be filtered a second time. For example, the carrier aggregation types with MIMO information in the first bandwidth combination information are 7AA4-1A4 and 7AA2-1A2. After understanding the MIMO information of the chip module, the MIMO information can be removed to obtain 7AA-1A and 7AA-1A. Then, duplicate CA Combo information is further removed to reduce the number of reported CA Combos.

[0057] According to an exemplary embodiment of this application, by performing a second filtering on the first bandwidth combination information, which includes information on multiple input multiple output capabilities (MIMO), duplicate CA Combos are removed while obtaining the device's MIMO capabilities, resulting in second bandwidth combination information. By removing duplicate aggregation types (CA Combos) of member carriers supported by the chip module, the size of the CA Combo reported in the User Equipment Capability Information (UECapability Information) is reduced. The CA Combo statistics reported by this application avoid errors caused by manual statistics, improve the efficiency of CA Combo statistics reporting, and save subsequent testing time. Furthermore, this application can also statistically analyze the network-supported CA Combos of the user equipment, reducing the size of the user equipment capability information and preventing the user equipment capability information from becoming too large to be processed by the base station.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, since the first bandwidth combination information or the second bandwidth combination information has a certain number of combinations, in order to facilitate viewing the first bandwidth combination information or the second bandwidth combination information, the first bandwidth combination information or the second bandwidth combination information can be sorted to obtain a first bandwidth queue or a second bandwidth queue. For example, the CA Combo information is sorted in ascending order according to the band index 0-9 of the component carriers. Then, within each component carrier band index, it is sorted sequentially from A to Z according to the bandwidth category of carrier aggregation to obtain the first bandwidth queue or the second bandwidth queue. Then, the first bandwidth queue or the second bandwidth queue is compared with the product definition of the user equipment to obtain a first comparison result or a second comparison result. Based on the first comparison result or the second comparison result, the final bandwidth combination information that meets the product definition of the user equipment is determined. Those skilled in the art will understand that the sorting method of the first bandwidth combination information or the second bandwidth combination information in this application is illustrative and this application is not limited thereto.

[0059] According to the exemplary embodiments of this application, by sorting the first bandwidth combination information or the second bandwidth combination information, the first bandwidth combination information or the second bandwidth combination information can be better verified with the product definition of the user equipment, which is simple and convenient.

[0060] This application also provides a statistical device 2000 for carrier aggregation. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a carrier aggregation statistical apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the carrier aggregation statistical device 2000 includes an information acquisition module 210 and an information filtering module 220. The information acquisition module 210 is used to acquire the capability information of the user equipment and to acquire the original bandwidth combination information based on the capability information. The information filtering module 220 is used to perform a first filtering of the original bandwidth combination information based on the operators supported by the user equipment to obtain the first bandwidth combination information supported by the operators.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the information acquisition module 210 can acquire the capability information of the user equipment. The communication environment of this exemplary embodiment is as follows: Figure 2As shown, the communication environment may include a User Equipment (UE) and a base station (eNodeB), and the UE and base station are in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection state. UE capability queries and UE capability information transmission can be completed between the UE and the base station. The base station can send a signaling request for a UE Capability Enquiry to the UE. After receiving the signaling request, the UE sends UE Capability Information to the base station. The UE Capability Information obtained by the base station is decoded into a code segment. The code may contain multiple identifier character fields and the corresponding functions of the identifier character fields. For example, the function information corresponding to the identifier character fields may include: the carrier aggregation bandwidth class (CA Bandwidth Class), multiple input multiple output (MIMO) capability, bandwidth combination set (BCS), and the band index of the component carriers. Based on the function information corresponding to the identifier character fields, it can be determined that the module chip supports carrier aggregation (Band combination), the band indices of the component carriers are band7 and band1, the CA bandwidth capability in the uplink information is 'a', and it has multiple input multiple output capability.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the information acquisition module 210 can also acquire the original bandwidth combination information based on the UE capability information.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the identifier character segment of the UE capability information can be located first. For example, the located character segment can be: bandEUTRA-r10, ca-BandwidthClassUL-r10, ca-BandwidthClassDL-r10, etc. Then, the functional information corresponding to the identifier character segment is extracted. For example, the information to be extracted is 7, a, a, 1, a. The extracted functional information corresponding to the identifier character segment is combined to form the original bandwidth combination information, i.e., 7AA-1A. Furthermore, through the original bandwidth combination information, it can be seen that the chip module supports carrier aggregation of two bands, band7 and band1, and the cell served by band7 is the primary cell, while the cell served by band1 is the secondary cell. Specifically, the original bandwidth combination information can be obtained as follows: the functional information corresponding to the identifier character segment of the UE capability information located in the UE Capability Information is copied from the qxdm log, processed, and saved to a txt file (ue_cap.txt) as the original bandwidth combination information.

[0064] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, the identifier character segment of the UE capability information can be located first. For example, the located character segment can be: bandEUTRA-r10, ca-BandwidthClassUL-r10, ca-BandwidthClassDL-r10, MIMO-CapabilityDL, etc. Then, the functional information corresponding to the identifier character segment is extracted. For example, the information to be extracted is 7, a, a, 1, a, four Layers, four Layers. The extracted functional information corresponding to the identifier character segment is combined to form the original bandwidth combination information, namely 7AA4-1A4 and 7AA2-1A2. And through the original bandwidth combination information, it can be seen that the chip module supports carrier aggregation of two bands, band7 and band1, and the cell served by band7 is the primary cell, the cell served by band1 is the secondary cell, and the downlink data supports 4*4 MIMO and is compatible with 2*2 MIMO. Specifically, the original bandwidth combination information can be obtained as follows: in the qxdm log, copy the function information corresponding to the identifier character field of the UE Capability Information, process it, and save it to a txt file (ue_cap.txt) as the original bandwidth combination information.

[0065] According to an exemplary implementation of this application, by obtaining the original bandwidth combination information from the UE capability information, the number of aggregation types (CA Combo) of the member carriers supported by the chip module can be better obtained.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the information filtering module 220 can perform a first filtering of the original bandwidth combination information using preset filtering rules to obtain first bandwidth combination information; wherein, the preset filtering rules include the network matching the user equipment. For example, the chip module supports a large bandwidth, generally covering the bandwidth information of multiple operators. Each operator matches different network bandwidths. Therefore, the original bandwidth combination information can be first filtered based on the operators supported by the user equipment. For instance, if the user equipment supports China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom, the original bandwidth combination information can be first filtered based on the bandwidth information supported by these three operators, removing bandwidth combination information supported by other operators to obtain the first bandwidth combination information supported by China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom. Alternatively, the user equipment's network, i.e., the operator, can be detected, and the original bandwidth combination information can be compared with the bandwidth supported by the operator's network to ensure that the bandwidth combination information after the first filtering meets the bandwidth range of the current operator. The specific operation can be as follows: The program for the first screening can be a script (python ca_tools.py 1ue_cap.txt), and then execute python ca_tools.py 1ue_cap.txt. After the script is executed, it will save the aggregation type (CA Combo) information of the member carriers that meet the conditions to the specified file (ue_cap_ca_combo.txt).

[0067] According to an exemplary embodiment of this application, by performing a first screening on the original bandwidth combination information, first bandwidth combination information that matches the network of the user equipment can be obtained, removing some component carrier aggregation types (CACombo), and reducing the size of the CA Combo reported in the user equipment capability information (UECapabilityInformation). The CA Combo reported through this application avoids errors caused by manual statistics, improves the efficiency of CA Combo statistical reporting, and saves subsequent testing time. Furthermore, this application can also statistically determine the CA Combo supported by the network for the user equipment, reducing the size of the user equipment capability information and preventing the user equipment capability information from becoming too large to be processed by the base station.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, if the user equipment supports multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capability, and the first bandwidth combination information includes MIMO capability information, the information filtering module 220 can further perform a second filtering on the first bandwidth combination information to remove duplicate bandwidth combinations and generate second bandwidth combination information. The chip module of this application supports MIMO capability, and the first bandwidth combination information can include the carrier aggregation type (CACombo) with MIMO information. To further reduce the number of reported CA Combos, the first bandwidth combination information can be filtered a second time. For example, the carrier aggregation types with MIMO information in the first bandwidth combination information are 7AA4-1A4 and 7AA2-1A2. After understanding the MIMO information of the chip module, the MIMO information can be removed, resulting in 7AA-1A and 7AA-1A. Then, duplicate CA Combo information is further removed to reduce the number of reported CA Combos.

[0069] According to an exemplary embodiment of this application, by performing a second filtering on the first bandwidth combination information, which includes information on multiple input multiple output capabilities (MIMO), duplicate CA Combos are removed while obtaining the device's MIMO capabilities, resulting in second bandwidth combination information. By removing duplicate aggregation types (CA Combos) of member carriers supported by the chip module, the size of the CA Combo reported in the User Equipment Capability Information (UECapability Information) is reduced. The CA Combo statistics reported by this application avoid errors caused by manual statistics, improve the efficiency of CA Combo statistics reporting, and save subsequent testing time. Furthermore, this application can also statistically analyze the network-supported CA Combos of the user equipment, reducing the size of the user equipment capability information and preventing the user equipment capability information from becoming too large to be processed by the base station.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the carrier aggregation statistical device may further include an information processing module. Since the first bandwidth combination information or the second bandwidth combination information has a certain number of combinations, to facilitate viewing the first bandwidth combination information or the second bandwidth combination information, the information processing module can also sort the first bandwidth combination information or the second bandwidth combination information to obtain a first bandwidth queue or a second bandwidth queue. For example, the information processing module can sort the CA Combo information according to the band index 0-9 of the component carriers in ascending order, and then sort each component carrier band index according to the bandwidth category of carrier aggregation from A to Z to obtain the first bandwidth queue or the second bandwidth queue. Then, the first bandwidth queue or the second bandwidth queue is compared with the product definition of the user equipment to obtain a first comparison result or a second comparison result. Based on the first comparison result or the second comparison result, the final bandwidth combination information that meets the product definition of the user equipment is determined. Those skilled in the art will understand that the sorting method of the first bandwidth combination information or the second bandwidth combination information in this application is illustrative and this application is not limited thereto.

[0071] According to the exemplary embodiments of this application, by sorting the first bandwidth combination information or the second bandwidth combination information, the first bandwidth combination information or the second bandwidth combination information can be better verified with the product definition of the user equipment, which is simple and convenient.
