Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communications, and in particular to methods, apparatus and computer-readable storage media for identifying problematic base stations. Background Technology

[0002] To identify problematic base stations in 5G mobile communication networks, existing solutions typically rely on traditional network simulation drive test complaint analysis or big data analysis based on measurement report (MR) user data.

[0003] Traditional network simulation road test complaint analysis includes road driving tests (DT) and indoor fixed-point call quality tests (CQT). Road driving tests (DT) involve driving a vehicle carrying user equipment (UE) along a designated road to measure the performance of one or more 5G base stations connected to the wireless test equipment and identify problematic base stations. Indoor fixed-point CQT involves using UEs to conduct dialing tests at various locations, with a certain proportion of outgoing and incoming calls. The test results are then statistically analyzed to identify 5G base stations with problematic test results as problematic base stations.

[0004] Big data analysis based on MR user data involves collecting MR data from the UE. Since MR data includes the signal level and quality of the 5G base station to which the UE is connected, the MR data can be analyzed to identify problematic 5G base stations.

[0005] All of the above solutions require a UE to connect to a 5G base station in order to further identify the problematic base station. However, when a 5G base station malfunctions, the UE may not connect to the problematic base station, which means that the existing methods cannot identify the problematic base station. Therefore, the comprehensiveness of the existing solutions is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This application provides a method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for identifying problematic base stations, which can identify the problematic base station without the UE being connected to it, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of the identification of problematic base stations.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] Firstly, a method for identifying problematic base stations is provided. The method includes: acquiring multiple first x-detailed records (xDRs) corresponding to each of multiple fourth-generation mobile communication network (4G) base stations within a first preset time period in a preset area; the first xDRs include the identifier of a user equipment (UE) and the identifier of the 4G base station; determining one or more first target 4G base stations among the multiple 4G base stations based on the multiple first xDRs corresponding to each 4G base station; the number of target first xDRs corresponding to the first target 4G base stations is greater than a first threshold, the UE corresponding to the target first xDRs accesses a fifth-generation mobile communication network (5G) base station in a second preset time period, the second preset time period is before the first preset time period, and the duration between the start time of the first preset time period and the end time of the second preset time period is less than a second threshold; determining one or more second target 4G base stations among the one or more first target 4G base stations; the location of the second target 4G base station contains a target 5G base station; and identifying the one or more target 5G base stations as one or more problematic base stations.

[0009] Based on this scheme, by obtaining multiple first xDR call detail records (CDRs) corresponding to each of the multiple 4G base stations in a preset area within a first preset time period, one or more second target 4G base stations are identified among the multiple 4G base stations. One or more target 5G base stations located at the same location as the one or more second target 4G base stations are then identified as problematic base stations. Compared to existing schemes that require the UE to connect to a 5G base station to identify problematic 5G base stations, in this application's scheme, since the UE connected to the second target 4G base station accesses the 5G base station within the second preset time period, it indicates that the UE has a need to connect to the 5G network. However, if a target 5G base station exists at the location of the second target 4G base station, and the UE accesses the 4G base station within the first preset time period, it indicates that the target 5G base station located at the same location as the second target 4G base station is faulty, forcing the UE to access the 4G base station. Therefore, the target 5G base station can be identified as a problematic base station. Thus, this application's scheme can identify the problematic base station without the UE connecting to it, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of identifying problematic base stations.

[0010] In conjunction with the first aspect, in certain embodiments of the first aspect, determining one or more first target 4G base stations among a plurality of 4G base stations based on a plurality of first xDR call detail records (CDRs) corresponding to each 4G base station among a plurality of 4G base stations includes: obtaining a plurality of second xDRs corresponding to each 5G base station among a plurality of 5G base stations within a second preset time period in a preset region; the second xDRs include the identifier of the UE and the identifier of the 5G base station; determining the number of target first xDRs among the plurality of first xDRs corresponding to each 4G base station based on the plurality of second xDRs corresponding to each 5G base station among a plurality of 5G base stations and the plurality of first xDRs corresponding to each 4G base station among a plurality of 4G base stations; and designating 4G base stations with a number of one or more target first xDRs greater than a first threshold as one or more first target 4G base stations.

[0011] Based on this scheme, it is possible to determine one or more first target 4G base stations from multiple 4G base stations based on multiple first xDR call detail records corresponding to each 4G base station.

[0012] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some embodiments of the first aspect, the method further includes: obtaining one or more operating parameters of each of the one or more problematic base stations and a standard operating parameter range corresponding to each operating parameter; a standard operating parameter range is the range of an operating parameter when the 5G base station is operating normally, and the operating parameter includes a tracking area (TA) value or an interoperability parameter; determining one or more target operating parameters among the one or more operating parameters; the target operating parameter is not in the corresponding standard operating parameter range; generating and sending a first message to a target device to cause the target device to display indication information corresponding to the first message; the indication information is used to indicate that one or more target operating parameters are not in the corresponding standard operating parameter range.

[0013] Based on this scheme, after identifying a problematic base station, by judging whether one or more operating parameters of the problematic base station are within the corresponding standard operating parameter range, and providing a prompt for operating parameters that are not within the corresponding standard operating parameter range, relevant personnel can be informed of the operating parameters of the problematic base station and further take appropriate action against the problematic base station.

[0014] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some embodiments of the first aspect, the method further includes: determining one or more third target 4G base stations among one or more first target 4G base stations; the location of the third target 4G base station does not contain a 5G base station; and determining the location of the one or more third target 4G base stations as the location of a newly built 5G base station.

[0015] Based on this scheme, by identifying one or more third target 4G base stations among one or more first target 4G base stations, since there are many UEs that have used 5G networks near the third target 4G base stations, it indicates that there is a demand for 5G networks near the third target 4G base stations. However, there are no 5G base stations at the location of the third target 4G base stations, so the location of the third target 4G base stations can be determined as the location for the new 5G base stations.

The problematic base station identification apparatus includes modules, units, or means corresponding to the above method.

[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a problematic base station identification system provided in this application. The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application can be applied to... Figure 1 The system shown is a problem base station identification system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the problematic base station identification system 10 includes a problematic base station identification device 11 and an electronic device 12.

[0041] The problematic base station identification device 11 is directly or indirectly connected to the electronic device 12. This connection can be wired or wireless, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0042] The problem base station identification device 11 can be used to receive data from the electronic device 12.

[0043] Electronic device 12 can be used to send data to problem base station identification device 11.

[0044] It should be noted that the problematic base station identification device 11 and the electronic device 12 can be independent devices or integrated into the same device; this application does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0045] When the problematic base station identification device 11 and the electronic device 12 are integrated into the same device, the communication method between the problematic base station identification device 11 and the electronic device 12 is the communication between internal modules of the device. In this case, the communication process between the two is the same as that when the problematic base station identification device 11 and the electronic device 12 are independent of each other.

[0046] In the following embodiments provided in this application, the problematic base station identification device 11 and the electronic device 12 are described as being set up independently of each other.

[0047] In practical applications, the problematic base station determination method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to the problematic base station determination device 11, or to the devices included in the problematic base station determination device 11.

[0048] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, uses the application of the problematic base station determination method to the problematic base station determination device 11 as an example to illustrate the problematic base station determination method provided in this application embodiment.

[0049] Figure 2 This application provides a flowchart illustrating a method for identifying problematic base stations, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0050] S201. The problem base station identification device obtains multiple first x detailed records (xDRs) corresponding to each 4G base station among multiple fourth-generation (4G) mobile communication network base stations in a preset area within a first preset time period.

[0051] The first xDR call detail record includes the UE identifier and the 4G base station identifier.

[0052] It should be noted that the preset area can be the administrative area of ​​a city, or it can be the administrative area of ​​a province; this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0053] The first preset time period can be from 12:00:00 on January 1, 2023 to 13:00:00 on January 1, 2023, or it can be from 13:00:00 on February 1, 2023 to 14:00:00 on February 2, 2023, or it can be from 11:00:00 on January 1, 2022 to 12:00:00 on January 1, 2022. This application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0054] The first xDR call detail record (CDR) includes call detailed record (CDR), transaction detailed record (TDR), and internet protocol detailed record (IPDR). The first xDR is a session-level detailed record of signaling and service transmission processes generated after processing all internet data, containing all of the UE's 4G network access information.

[0055] When a UE accesses a 4G network, it sends an attach request signaling message to the 4G network. This attach request signaling message includes information such as the identifier of the 4G base station. The signaling message flow order is: UE -> Local Mobility Management Entity (MME) network element -> Other core network elements. The first xDR call detail record (CDR) can be the xDR CDR of the MME network element in the 4G network.

[0056] The MME (Member Element) is a network element in a 4G network responsible for processing signaling, including UE (User Equipment) location and paging processes.

[0057] As one possible implementation method, combined Figure 1 The problematic base station identification device receives a message from an electronic device, which includes multiple first xDR call detail records (CDRs) corresponding to each of the multiple 4G base stations in a preset area within a first preset time period. The problematic base station identification device obtains the multiple first xDRs corresponding to each of the multiple 4G base stations in the preset area within the first preset time period from the message.

[0058] S202, The problem base station determination device determines one or more first target 4G base stations among the multiple 4G base stations based on the multiple first xDR call detail records corresponding to each 4G base station.

[0059] Among them, the number of target first xDR call records corresponding to the first target 4G base station is greater than the first threshold, the UE corresponding to the target first xDR call record accesses the 5G base station in the second preset time period, the second preset time period is before the first preset time period, and the duration between the start time of the first preset time period and the end time of the second preset time period is less than the second threshold.

[0060] It should be noted that the first threshold can be 200, or the first threshold can be 300, or the first threshold can be 400. This application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0061] The second threshold can be 1 hour, or it can be 2 hours, or it can be 3 hours; this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0062] Taking a second threshold of 2 hours as an example, if the first preset time period is from 12:00:00 on January 1, 2023 to 13:00:00 on January 1, 2023, the second preset time period can be from 9:00:00 on January 1, 2023 to 10:00:00 on January 1, 2023, or the second preset time period can also be from 8:00:00 on January 1, 2023 to 10:00:00 on January 1, 2023. This application does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0063] As one possible implementation, the problematic base station identification device acquires multiple second xDR call detail records (CDRs) corresponding to each of the multiple 5G base stations in a preset area within a second preset time period; based on the multiple second xDRs corresponding to each of the multiple 5G base stations and the multiple first xDRs corresponding to each of the multiple 4G base stations, it determines the number of target first xDRs among the multiple first xDRs corresponding to each 4G base station; and identifies 4G base stations with a target first xDR number greater than a first threshold as target 4G base stations.

[0064] It should be noted that for a detailed description of this possible implementation method, please refer to the relevant description in the subsequent sections of the specific implementation method of this application, which will not be described here.

[0065] S203, The problem base station identification device identifies one or more second target 4G base stations from one or more first target 4G base stations.

[0066] Among them, the location of the second target 4G base station also contains the target 5G base station.

[0067] As one possible implementation, the problematic base station identification device obtains the operating parameter tables of all 4G base stations and all 5G base stations within a preset area. Since the operating parameter tables include the base station identifier and the base station's latitude and longitude, the problematic base station identification device determines whether there is a 5G base station at the location of each first target 4G base station. If there is, the first target 4G base station is identified as the second target 4G base station, and the 5G base station is identified as the target 5G base station.

[0068] S204. The problematic base station identification device identifies one or more target 5G base stations as one or more problematic base stations.

[0069] As one possible implementation, after identifying one or more second target 4G base stations, the problem base station identification device can identify one or more target 5G base stations in the same location as one or more problem base stations.

[0070] Based on this scheme, by obtaining multiple first xDR call detail records (CDRs) corresponding to each of the multiple 4G base stations in a preset area within a first preset time period, one or more second target 4G base stations are identified among the multiple 4G base stations. One or more target 5G base stations located at the same location as the one or more second target 4G base stations are then identified as problematic base stations. Compared to existing schemes that require the UE to connect to a 5G base station to identify problematic 5G base stations, in this application's scheme, since the UE connected to the second target 4G base station accesses the 5G base station within the second preset time period, it indicates that the UE has a need to connect to the 5G network. However, if a target 5G base station exists at the location of the second target 4G base station, and the UE accesses the 4G base station within the first preset time period, it indicates that the target 5G base station located at the same location as the second target 4G base station is faulty, forcing the UE to access the 4G base station. Therefore, the target 5G base station can be identified as a problematic base station. Thus, this application's scheme can identify the problematic base station without the UE connecting to it, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of identifying problematic base stations.

[0071] The above is a general description of the method for identifying problematic base stations provided in this application. The following will provide a further explanation of the method for identifying problematic base stations provided in this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0072] In one design, Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating another method for determining problematic base stations provided in this application is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, S202 provided in the specific embodiments of this application may specifically include the following steps:

[0073] S301, The problem base station identification device acquires multiple second xDR call detail records corresponding to each 5G base station in a second preset time period within a preset area.

[0074] The second xDR call detail record includes the UE identifier and the 5G base station identifier.

[0075] The second xDR call detail record includes CDR, TDR, and IPDR. The second xDR call detail record is a session-level detailed record of signaling and service transmission processes generated after processing all Internet data, and contains all UE's 5G network access information.

[0076] When a UE accesses a 5G network, it sends an attach request signaling message to the 5G network. This attach request signaling message includes information such as the identifier of the 5G base station. The signaling flow order is: UE -> Local Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) network element -> Local Unified Data Management (UDM) network element. The second xDR call detail record (CDR) can be the xDR CDR of the AMF network element in the 5G network.

[0077] The AMF network element is used to perform registration, connection, reachability, and mobility management, and provides a session management message transmission channel for the UE and the session management function (SMF) network element, and provides authentication and authorization functions for the UE when accessing the network.

[0078] UDM network elements are used to perform authentication, user identification, access authorization, registration, mobility, subscription, SMS management, etc.

[0079] SMF network elements are used for tunnel maintenance, Internet Protocol (IP) address allocation and management, function selection, policy enforcement and QoS control, billing data collection, roaming, etc.

[0080] As one possible implementation method, combined Figure 1 The problematic base station identification device receives a message from an electronic device, which includes multiple second xDR call detail records (CDRs) corresponding to each of the multiple 5G base stations in a preset area within a second preset time period. The problematic base station identification device obtains the multiple second xDRs corresponding to each of the multiple 5G base stations in the preset area within the second preset time period from the message.

[0081] S302, The problem base station determination device determines the number of target first xDR records among the multiple second xDR records corresponding to each 5G base station and the multiple first xDR records corresponding to each 4G base station, based on the multiple second xDR records corresponding to each 5G base station and the multiple first xDR records corresponding to each 4G base station.

[0082] As one possible implementation, the problem base station identification device extracts the identifier of each UE from the multiple second xDR call detail records corresponding to each of the multiple 5G base stations to obtain the identifiers of multiple target UEs. The problem base station identification device determines the target first xDR call detail records whose UE identifier is the identifier of the target UE from the multiple first xDR call detail records corresponding to each 4G base station. The problem base station identification device counts the number of target first xDR call detail records corresponding to each 4G base station to obtain the number of target first xDR call detail records in the multiple first xDR call detail records corresponding to each 4G base station.

[0083] S303, The problem base station determination device identifies one or more 4G base stations with a number of target first xDR call records greater than a first threshold as one or more first target 4G base stations.

[0084] As one possible implementation, after determining the number of target first xDR records among the multiple first xDR records corresponding to each 4G base station, the problem base station determination device determines whether the number of target first xDR records among the multiple first xDR records corresponding to each 4G base station is greater than a first threshold. If the number of target first xDR records among the multiple first xDR records corresponding to a 4G base station is greater than the first threshold, the problem base station determination device determines the 4G base station as the first target 4G base station, thereby obtaining one or more first target 4G base stations.

[0085] Based on this scheme, it is possible to determine one or more first target 4G base stations from multiple 4G base stations based on multiple first xDR call detail records corresponding to each 4G base station.

[0086] In one design, Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating another method for determining problematic base stations provided in this application is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the method for identifying problematic base stations provided in this application may further include the following steps:

[0087] S401, The problematic base station identification device acquires one or more operating parameters of each problematic base station and the standard operating parameter range corresponding to each operating parameter.

[0088] One standard operating parameter range is the range of operating parameters when a 5G base station is operating normally. The operating parameters include tracking area (TA) values ​​or interoperability parameters.

[0089] As one possible implementation method, combined Figure 1The problematic base station identification device receives a message from an electronic device, which includes one or more operating parameters of each of the one or more problematic base stations and a standard operating parameter range corresponding to each operating parameter. The problematic base station identification device obtains one or more operating parameters of each of the one or more problematic base stations and the standard operating parameter range corresponding to each operating parameter from the message.

[0090] S402, Problem Base Station Identification Device determines one or more target operating parameters from one or more operating parameters.

[0091] The target operating parameters are not within the corresponding standard operating parameter range.

[0092] As one possible implementation, the problem base station identification device determines whether each operating parameter falls within the standard operating parameter range corresponding to each operating parameter, and identifies the operating parameters that do not fall within the corresponding standard operating parameter range as target operating parameters.

[0093] S403. The problematic base station identification device generates and sends a first message to the target device so that the target device displays the indication information corresponding to the first message.

[0094] The indication information is used to indicate that one or more target operating parameters are not in the corresponding standard operating parameter range.

[0095] It should be noted that the first message can be an alarm message, or it can be a warning message, or it can be a caution message; this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0096] The target device can be a mobile phone, or it can be a computer; this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0097] As one possible implementation, taking a mobile phone as the target device, the problematic base station identification device sends a first message to the target device via SMS so that the target device displays the indication information corresponding to the first message.

[0098] Based on this scheme, after identifying a problematic base station, by judging whether one or more operating parameters of the problematic base station are within the corresponding standard operating parameter range, and providing a prompt for operating parameters that are not within the corresponding standard operating parameter range, relevant personnel can be informed of the operating parameters of the problematic base station and further take appropriate action against the problematic base station.

[0099] In one design, Figure 5 A flowchart illustrating another method for determining problematic base stations provided in this application is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the method for identifying problematic base stations provided in this application may further include the following steps:

[0100] S501, The problem base station identification device identifies one or more third target 4G base stations from one or more first target 4G base stations.

[0101] There is no 5G base station at the location of the third target 4G base station.

[0102] As one possible implementation, the problem base station identification device obtains the operating parameter tables of all 4G base stations and all 5G base stations within a preset area. Since the operating parameter tables include the base station identifier and the base station location information, the problem base station identification device determines whether there is a 5G base station at the location of each first target 4G base station. If not, the first target 4G base station is identified as the third target 4G base station, thus obtaining one or more third target 4G base stations.

[0103] S502, The problem base station identification device determines the location of one or more third target 4G base stations as the location of the newly built 5G base station.

[0104] As one possible implementation, after identifying one or more third target 4G base stations, the problem base station identification device can determine the location of the one or more third target 4G base stations as the location of the newly built 5G base station.

[0105] Based on this scheme, by identifying one or more third target 4G base stations among one or more first target 4G base stations, since there are many UEs that have used 5G networks near the third target 4G base stations, it indicates that there is a demand for 5G networks near the third target 4G base stations. However, there are no 5G base stations at the location of the third target 4G base stations, so the location of the third target 4G base stations can be determined as the location for the new 5G base stations.

[0106] The above mainly describes the solution provided by the embodiments of this application from the perspective of the problematic base station determination device executing the problematic base station determination method.
