Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a frequency measurement method, device, equipment and storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] For different frequency points of cells covering the same area, load balancing function is usually opened between each other, and the cell with high load will select to switch part of users to the cell with low load, so as to achieve the state of relatively balanced load between cells. However, when the user switches to a new cell due to load balancing, it is easy to switch back to the original cell due to the coverage range of the cell, thereby causing the load balancing effect to be poor. Currently, the users who switch from the cell with high load to the cell with low load due to load balancing can be configured with a penalty time to slow down the user switching back to the cell with high load due to coverage.

[0003] However, if the penalty time is set too short, the above-mentioned solution will not be able to limit the user backflow (i.e., switching back from the cell with low load to the cell with high load), and if the penalty time is too long, it will cause the user to have poor signal quality when the signal is poor because the user cannot initiate cell switching in time. Therefore, the inter-cell load balancing user frequency measurement effect is poor, which leads to unbalanced load between cells and poor user experience. SUMMARY

"And / or" in this document only describes the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which can mean that A exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone.

[0028] The frequency measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a frequency measurement system. Figure 1 A structural diagram of the frequency measurement system is shown. As shown in Figure 1 The frequency measurement system 20 includes a terminal device 21, a high-load cell 22 and a low-load cell 23.

[0029] The terminal device 21 is used to access one of the high-load cell 22 or the low-load cell 23 to realize network connection, and the high-load cell 22 or the low-load cell 23 is used to provide network connection for the terminal device 21.

[0030] The frequency measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2 The frequency measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application includes S201-S203:

[0032] S201, in the case that the terminal device switches from the high-load cell to the low-load cell, marking the cell switching cause of the terminal device as load balancing.

[0033] The load of the high-load cell is greater than the load of the low-load cell.

[0034] It should be noted that when the terminal device of the user is switched from a high-load cell to a low-load cell due to load balancing between cells, the high-load cell can mark the terminal device of the user with a load balancing label to indicate the reason for switching the cell by the terminal device.

[0035] Specifically, when the terminal device initiates switching from a high-load cell to a low-load cell, the high-load cell marks the switching reason of the terminal device as "load balancing".

[0036] Optionally, the low-load cell also needs to mark the identification information of the original serving cell of the terminal device (i.e., the identification information of the high-load cell).

[0037] S202, the terminal device receives the target inter-frequency measurement threshold value sent by the low-load cell.

[0038] The target inter-frequency measurement threshold value is a threshold value corresponding to a cell switching reason of load balancing.

[0039] Optionally, the cell usually configures an inter-frequency measurement threshold value for the terminal switching reason of "coverage range" (i.e., the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold value), which can include a starting condition value (i.e., a cell signal strength threshold value) and an inter-frequency switching condition value, to determine whether the terminal device initiates inter-frequency measurement to the high-load cell through the starting condition value, and to determine whether the terminal device switches the cell (e.g., from a low-load cell to a high-load cell, it should be noted that in this case, the load of the low-load cell is not necessarily less than the load of the high-load cell) through the inter-frequency switching condition value.

[0040] Optionally, the application also configures an inter-frequency measurement threshold value for the terminal switching reason of "load balancing" (i.e., the target inter-frequency measurement threshold value).

[0041] It can be understood that when the cell determines that the switching reason of the terminal device corresponds to "coverage range", the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold value is usually issued to the terminal device, and when the terminal device switches the cell due to load balancing, the corresponding target inter-frequency measurement threshold value is issued by the cell as the inter-frequency measurement starting threshold value of the terminal device.

[0042] S203, in the case where the terminal device detects that the signal strength value of the low-load cell is less than or equal to the target inter-frequency measurement threshold value and the duration exceeds the preset duration, the terminal device initiates inter-frequency measurement to the high-load cell.

[0043] Optionally, the target inter-frequency measurement threshold can be a cell signal strength available threshold and a detection time hysteresis threshold, and the cell signal strength available threshold corresponding to the target inter-frequency measurement threshold is smaller than the cell signal strength available threshold corresponding to the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold.

[0044] It can be understood that the terminal device initiates the signal measurement of the high-load cell only when the terminal device detects that the signal strength value of the low-load cell is less than or equal to the target inter-frequency measurement threshold (i.e., the cell signal strength available threshold) and the duration exceeds the preset duration (i.e., the detection time hysteresis threshold).

[0045] Optionally, real-time compliance information is kept between the high-load cell and the low-load cell, and the compliance information includes at least one of the following: real-time online user quantity, real-time PRB resource utilization.

[0046] In one design, as shown in FIG. 1, in the inter-frequency measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application, S301 can be further included: Figure 3

[0047] S301, in a case where the terminal device detects that the difference between the real-time online user quantity of the high-load cell and the real-time online user quantity of the low-load cell is less than a first preset difference value, the terminal device receives the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold sent by the low-load cell.

[0048] Optionally, the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold is greater than the target inter-frequency measurement threshold.

[0049] Optionally, a preset inter-cell real-time online user quantity difference threshold (i.e., the first preset difference value) is needed to determine the timing of sending the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold to the terminal device by the low-load cell.

[0050] Optionally, in a case where the low-load cell detects that the difference between the real-time online user quantity of the high-load cell and the real-time online user quantity of the low-load cell is less than the first preset difference value, the low-load cell sends the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold to the terminal device.

[0051] It can be understood that in this case, the low-load cell considers that the load of the low-load cell and the load of the high-load cell are relatively small, and does not need to continue to prevent the terminal device from initiating the inter-frequency measurement to the high-load cell from the terminal device which is cut in from the low-load cell for load balancing reasons.

[0052] Therefore, the low-load cell can reissue the inter-frequency measurement threshold and the inter-frequency handover condition value (i.e., the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold) corresponding to the handover reason of "coverage range" to the terminal device, so that the terminal device determines whether to start the signal detection of the inter-frequency neighbor cell (i.e., the high-load cell) based on the new initial inter-frequency measurement threshold.

[0053] ​In the embodiments of the present application, whether the difference between the real-time online user quantity of the high-load cell and the real-time online user quantity of the low-load cell is less than a first preset difference value is detected, so as to determine whether the low-load cell sends the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold to the terminal device, thereby improving the inter-frequency measurement effect of the load balancing user between cells, improving the load balancing between cells, and improving the user experience.

[0054] In one design, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4 The inter-frequency measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application can further include S401:

[0055] S401, in the case where the difference between the real-time PRB resource utilization rate of the high-load cell and the real-time PRB resource utilization rate of the low-load cell is less than a second preset difference value, the terminal device receives the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold sent by the low-load cell.

[0056] The initial inter-frequency measurement threshold is greater than the target inter-frequency measurement threshold.

[0057] Optionally, a preset inter-cell real-time physical resource module (Physical Resource Block, PRB) resource utilization rate difference threshold (i.e. the second preset difference value) is needed to determine the timing of the low-load cell sending the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold to the terminal device.

[0058] Optionally, when the low-load cell detects that the difference between the real-time PRB resource utilization rate of the high-load cell and the real-time PRB resource utilization rate of the low-load cell is less than the second preset difference value, the low-load cell sends the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold to the terminal device.

[0059] It can be understood that in this case, the low-load cell considers that the load of the low-load cell and the load of the high-load cell are relatively small, and does not need to continue to prevent the terminal device from initiating inter-frequency measurement to the high-load cell from the low-load cell for the purpose of load balancing.

[0060] Therefore, the low-load cell can reissue the inter-frequency measurement threshold and the inter-frequency handover condition value (i.e. the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold) corresponding to the handover reason of "coverage range" to the terminal device, so that the terminal device determines whether to start signal detection for the inter-frequency neighbor cell (i.e. the high-load cell) based on the new initial inter-frequency measurement threshold.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, whether the difference between the real-time PRB resource utilization of the high-load cell and the real-time PRB resource utilization of the low-load cell is less than the second preset difference is detected, so as to determine whether the low-load cell sends the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold to the terminal device, thereby improving the inter-frequency measurement effect of the load balancing users between cells, improving the load balancing between cells, and improving the user experience.

[0062] In one design, as shown in FIG. 1, in the inter-frequency measurement method provided by the embodiment of the present application, S501 can be further included: Figure 5

[0063] S501, in the case where the terminal device detects that the signal strength value of the low-load cell is less than or equal to the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold and the duration exceeds the preset duration, the terminal device initiates inter-frequency measurement to the high-load cell.

[0064] It can be understood that in this case, it is not necessary to determine whether to initiate signal measurement to the high-load cell by the target inter-frequency measurement threshold, but it is necessary to determine whether to initiate signal measurement to the high-load cell by the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold.

[0065] That is, when the terminal device detects that the signal strength value of the low-load cell is less than or equal to the initial inter-frequency measurement threshold and the duration exceeds the preset duration, the terminal device initiates signal measurement to the high-load cell.

[0066] For example, the load of cell a is high, and the load of cell b is low. The terminal device c of the user is cut into cell b from cell a due to "load balancing", cell b marks the cut-in reason of the terminal device c as "load balancing" and marks the identification information of the source cell a. The inter-frequency measurement start threshold value based on the "coverage range" reason is configured as -90dBm in cell b, and the inter-frequency measurement start threshold value for the cut-in reason of "load balancing" is -108dBm. Cell b sends the inter-frequency measurement start threshold value of -108dBm to the terminal device c. When the terminal device c measures the signal strength value of cell b to be greater than -108dBm, the terminal device c will not start inter-frequency measurement. Cell b keeps interacting with the load information of cell a at all times. When cell b detects that the difference between the real-time PRB resource utilization of the two cells is less than the preset threshold value 10pp, cell b considers that the load difference between the two cells is small, and the terminal device c cut in from cell a due to "load balancing" is no longer applicable to the inter-frequency measurement start threshold value -108dBm. Cell b re-sends the inter-frequency measurement start threshold value corresponding to the "coverage range" reason -90dBm to the terminal device c. The terminal device c will determine whether to start signal detection for the inter-frequency neighbor cell based on the new measurement configuration.

[0067] ​In the embodiments of the present application, when the terminal device switches from a high-load cell to a low-load cell due to load balancing, in order to avoid the terminal device quickly switching back to the high-load cell due to coverage, thereby causing unbalanced load between cells, the terminal device is labeled with a "load balancing" label, and information of the high-load cell is identified. For the terminal device that enters based on the "load balancing" reason, only the signal strength threshold of the low-load cell is issued as the inter-frequency measurement starting condition. When the low-load cell detects that the load difference with the high-load cell is small, the low-load cell reissues the inter-frequency measurement threshold and the inter-frequency handover condition value based on coverage to the terminal device. The terminal device determines whether to start signal detection of the low-load cell based on the new measurement configuration.

[0068] The present application provides an inter-frequency measurement method. In the case that a terminal device switches from a high-load cell to a low-load cell, the terminal device is marked with a cell switching reason of load balancing. The terminal device receives a target inter-frequency measurement threshold corresponding to a cell with a cell switching reason of load balancing sent by the low-load cell, to determine whether to initiate inter-frequency measurement to the high-load cell through the target inter-frequency measurement threshold. In the case that the terminal device detects that the signal strength value of the low-load cell is less than or equal to the target inter-frequency measurement threshold, and the duration exceeds a preset duration, the terminal device initiates inter-frequency measurement to the high-load cell. Therefore, the inter-frequency measurement effect of the load balancing user between cells can be improved, and the load balancing between cells and the user experience can be improved.

[0069] The above mainly introduces the scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application from the perspective of the method. In order to realize the above functions, it contains the hardware structure and / or software module corresponding to the execution of each function. Those skilled in the art should easily realize that, in combination with the units and algorithm steps of the examples described in the embodiments disclosed in the present application, the embodiments of the present application can be realized in the form of hardware or the combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a certain function is realized by hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Professional technicians can use different methods to realize the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered beyond the scope of the present application.

[0070] The embodiments of the present application can divide a kind of inter-frequency measurement device into functional modules according to the above method example, for example, each functional module can be divided corresponding to each function, two or more than two functions can also be integrated in one processing module. The above integrated module can be realized in the form of hardware, and can also be realized in the form of software function module. Optionally, the division of modules in the embodiments of the present application is illustrative, and is only a logical function division. When actually implemented, there can be another division mode.

[0074] The processing unit 1001 is configured to, in a case where the terminal device detects that a signal strength value of the low-load cell is less than or equal to the target inter-frequency measurement threshold value and a duration exceeds a preset duration, initiate, by the terminal device, an inter-frequency measurement to the high-load cell.
