Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of Internet, and in particular, to a cell compensation coverage method and device, electronic equipment and storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to ensure that mobile users can use mobile services anytime and anywhere, and to meet the demand of users for call quality in mobile terminal number intensive areas and busy hours, a large number of base station devices are deployed in the existing network to achieve full coverage of mobile signals and multi-layer coverage in areas with high traffic. However, it is found through statistics that the utilization rate of base station devices is not high, and the average utilization rate is less than 50%, and the instantaneous utilization rate in some time periods is even less than 10%, which causes the problem of energy waste in this case.

[0003] In order to solve the above problem of energy waste, the existing technology provides a variety of energy saving schemes. In the 3GPP R9 stage, a standardization proposal of energy saving technology is proposed, and the principle is as follows: a cell in a base station determines to enter the energy saving state according to the current load, the base station notifies each adjacent base station that the cell has entered the energy saving state, and when the load of the adjacent base station increases, the base station will request the base station to perform load balancing, and when the base station restarts the cell, it notifies the adjacent base station that the cell has resumed work. However, in the 3GPP R11 stage, the network system will no longer permanently provide bottom layer coverage, so the energy saving scheme under the condition of no bottom layer coverage needs to be considered. For this, the existing technology proposes an energy saving scheme based on a compensation coverage base station, that is, a certain base station is set as a compensation coverage base station in advance, when its adjacent base station wants to enter the energy saving state, it can request the compensation coverage base station to perform power compensation, and after the compensation coverage base station confirms, its adjacent base station can enter the energy saving state, and the compensation coverage base station expands the power coverage range to absorb the traffic in the original coverage area of the adjacent base station. As can be seen from the above, the base station can use the R9 bottom layer coverage energy saving scheme or the R11 compensation coverage energy saving scheme, but when the base station performs energy saving operation, it cannot determine which energy saving scheme to use according to the current scene. If the base station uses the R9 bottom layer coverage energy saving scheme in the case of no bottom layer coverage, or the base station uses the R11 compensation coverage energy saving scheme in the case of no compensation coverage base station, it will cause a "hole" in the communication in the original coverage area of the base station, which cannot guarantee the communication quality of the user. Since the base station is disconnected or cannot provide communication services, a coverage "hole" will still appear, which needs to be compensated in the shortest time.

[0004] When performing cell compensation coverage, when the main service cell is normal, the UE measurement report is used to report the compensation coverage candidate neighbor cell, the candidate cell is determined by adding the reference signal receiving power (RSRP, Reference Signal Receiving Power) or the reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ, Reference Signal Receiving Quality) of the neighbor cell in the measurement report and the offset compensation value of each cell, and the compensation coverage capability value of each cell in the multiple cells is determined. Then, through the monitoring of network information data, it is determined that the cell is a fault, shutdown or low performance cell, and the compensation coverage candidate cell is notified to perform the compensation coverage operation. The above-mentioned cell compensation coverage has the problem of not timely compensation. SUMMARY

[0056] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which include various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure to assist in understanding them. These should be considered in their context only. Thus, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize the various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein, without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

[0057] A cell compensation coverage, an apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium of embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present application provides a cell compensation coverage method, as shown in the following formula: Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0059] In step 101, XDR data collection of a cell or a base station is monitored.

[0060] When monitoring the XDR (Call / transaction Detail Record) data collection of a cell or a base station, a network-wide cell-level XDR data collection checking mechanism with a minute monitoring granularity can be established, and other mechanisms can also be established. Specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0061] In step 102, when it is detected that no XDR data of the cell or the base station is received within a threshold time, a compensation coverage mechanism and a compensation coverage timer are started, and the cell or the base station is compensated based on a maintained compensation coverage cell table.

[0062] The compensation coverage cell table is a list of disconnected cells and base stations that need to be compensated and a list of compensation cells and compensation base stations, which is a table obtained by sorting the average overlap and field strength of cells or base stations involved in weak coverage grids except the cell or base station that needs to be compensated, and the cell that needs to be compensated is a cell determined based on the number of newly added weak grids satisfying a preset number threshold after the cell is gridded and the base station fails.

[0063] It is necessary to note that the compensation coverage mechanism is started, that is, the cell or base station that does not receive the XDR data report is compensated, and the compensation is based on the maintained compensation coverage cell table.

[0064] When it is detected that no XDR data report of a cell or a base station is received within a threshold time, a compensation coverage mechanism and a compensation coverage timer are started, which can prevent problems such as real cell or base station outage failure from occurring within the data checking time, so as to reduce possible user complaints and prevent the occurrence of customer perception reduction. The compensation coverage mechanism and the compensation coverage timer described herein can be immediately started.

[0065] The compensation coverage of the cell or the base station based on the maintained compensation coverage cell list can be implemented by using, but is not limited to, the following methods, including:

[0066] It is determined whether the cell or the base station is in the compensation coverage cell list. If the cell or the base station is in the compensation coverage cell list, it is determined that the cell or the base station is compensated. A compensation cell corresponding to the cell or the base station is obtained from the compensation coverage cell list. The compensation cell is a cell or a base station that is in the same grid as the cell or the base station and has an overlap degree satisfying a predetermined threshold. If the cell or the base station is not in the compensation coverage cell list, it is determined that the cell or the base station does not need to be compensated.

[0067] In step 103, within the counting time of the compensation coverage timer, the compensation coverage mechanism is executed according to the alarm data reporting situation of the cell or the base station on the wireless side before the end of the threshold time and the recovery of the XDR data report of the cell or the base station.

[0068] It is necessary to explain here that the execution of the compensation coverage mechanism in the embodiments of the present disclosure is to determine whether to stop or continue to maintain the started compensation coverage mechanism.

[0069] The embodiment of the present disclosure monitors the XDR data collection of a cell or a base station, starts a compensation coverage mechanism and a compensation coverage timer when it is detected that no XDR data of the cell or the base station is reported within a threshold time, and compensates the cell or the base station based on a maintained compensation coverage cell table. Within the timing of the compensation coverage timer, the compensation coverage mechanism is executed according to the situation of the wireless side alarm data of the cell or the base station before the end of the threshold time and the situation of the recovery of the XDR data reporting of the cell or the base station. The compensation coverage cell table is a table obtained by sorting the overlapping degree and the field strength average of the cells or the base stations involved in the weak coverage grid except the cell or the base station to be compensated. The cell to be compensated is a cell determined based on the number of newly added weak grids after the failure of the cell or the base station. Compared with the prior art, when it is determined that no XDR data of the cell or the base station is reported within a threshold time, the compensation coverage mechanism is started, the compensation coverage can be performed faster, and after the compensation mechanism is started, it is quickly determined whether the compensation coverage is needed by looking up the table, the duration of the coverage hole is shortened, and the compensation coverage can be performed faster. The XDR sampling is checked within a period, and the compensation coverage mechanism is executed when the alarm data exists, which prevents the duration of the inevitable coverage hole in the network.

[0070] As described above, the present application first maintains the list of broken-link cells (i.e., cells) or sites (i.e., base stations) that need compensation coverage and the list of compensation cells or sites. The specific steps are as follows:

[0071] Step 1: Collect user-level (MR, Measurement report) or minimization of drive tests (MDT, Minimization of drive tests) data in a predetermined regional range within a certain period.

[0072] It should be noted here that the certain period of time can be one week, two weeks, or one month, or other time, and the specific embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this, which can be determined according to specific needs.

[0073] Step 2: Divide the predetermined regional range into grids, and scatter the MR or MDT sampling data in the divided grids to obtain a sampling data coverage table at the grid level of the whole network. The cells in each grid are sorted in descending order according to the amount of sampling data.

[0074] The predetermined regional range can be a city, a district, or a designated area. For example, the city is divided into grids, and the sampling point data is scattered to output the sampling data coverage table at the grid level. The cells covered by the grid are sorted in descending order according to the amount of sampling data. The sampling data coverage table can be output in the following table 1 format:

[0075] Table 1

[0076]

[0077] In the third step, the sampling data coverage table at the grid level is used to calculate whether there is a coverage hole in the grid after the disconnection of at least one cell or base station, and obtain the list of cells and base stations that need to be compensated for coverage.

[0078] The calculation of whether there is a coverage hole in the grid after the disconnection of at least one cell or base station based on the sampling data coverage table at the grid level can be achieved by, but not limited to, the following form, and the specific steps include:

[0079] 1. According to the first cell or first base station name or ID of the sampling data coverage table at the grid level, the sampling points of the same first cell ID or first base station are pre-deleted each time.

[0080] 2. Extract the grid set related to the deletion of the same cell ID or the same base station ID.

[0081] 3. If the number of weak coverage grids in the grid set related to the deletion is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the pre-deleted first cell or first base station is determined as the cell or base station that needs to be compensated for coverage, and the weak coverage grid ID and field strength average related to the cell or base station that needs to be compensated for coverage are marked.

[0082] 4. The cells and base stations that need to be compensated for coverage are summarized into a list of cells and base stations that need to be compensated for coverage.

[0083] Based on the above method description, the cells and base stations are processed separately. Taking the first threshold value of 3 as an example, the specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0084] 1. According to the first cell name or ID of the sampling data coverage table at the grid level, the sampling points of the same first cell ID are pre-deleted each time.

[0085] 2. Extract the grid set related to the deletion of the same cell ID, and recalculate the field strength average of each grid.

[0086] 3. If the number of weak coverage grids in the grid set increases by >= 3, the first cell to be deleted is included in the list of link breakage cells that need to be compensated for coverage, and the weak coverage grid ID and the average field strength are marked;

[0087] 4. Repeat step 1, and replace the sampling point of the first station with the pre-deleted sampling point;

[0088] 5. Repeat step 2, and extract the grid set related to the deletion of the first station, and recalculate the average field strength of each grid;

[0089] 6. Repeat step 3, and if the number of weak coverage grids in the grid set increases by >= 3, the first station to be deleted is included in the list of link breakage stations that need to be compensated for coverage, and the weak coverage grid ID and the average field strength are marked;

[0090] 7. The list of link breakage cells that need to be compensated for coverage in step 3 and the list of link breakage stations that need to be compensated for coverage in step 6 are combined into a list of link breakage cells and stations that need to be compensated for coverage. The list of link breakage cells and stations can refer to the following table 2 format:

[0091] Table 2

[0092]

[0093] In the fourth step, according to the list of cells or base stations that need to be compensated for coverage, the overlap degree and the average field strength of the cells or base stations other than the cells or base stations that need to be compensated for coverage in the weak coverage grid are calculated, a compensation coverage cell table is generated, and an adjustable cell is confirmed.

[0094] In the fourth step, according to the list of cells or base stations that need to be compensated for coverage, the overlap degree and the average field strength of the cells or base stations other than the cells or base stations that need to be compensated for coverage in the weak coverage grid are calculated, a compensation coverage cell table is generated, and an adjustable cell is confirmed.

[0095] In the fourth step, according to the list of cells or base stations that need to be compensated for coverage, the overlap degree and the average field strength of the cells or base stations other than the cells or base stations that need to be compensated for coverage in the weak coverage grid are calculated, a compensation coverage cell table is generated, and an adjustable cell is confirmed.

[0096] 1. Obtain the weak coverage grid set corresponding to the list of cells or base stations that need to be compensated for coverage;

[0097] 2. Based on the weak coverage grid set related to the list of cells or base stations that need to be compensated for coverage, the overlap degree and the average field strength of the cells or base stations other than the cells or base stations that need to be compensated for coverage in the weak coverage grid are calculated;

[0098] 3. Rank the average of the overlap and field strength, generate a compensation coverage cell table and confirm the adjustable cell.

[0099] The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0100] 1. According to the broken link cell to be compensated for coverage, a cell A in the site list, the weak coverage grid set involved, calculate the average cell field strength, the number of sampling points and the overlap degree of the grid set excluding the broken link cell; and rank according to the main overlap degree and the secondary sampling point number;

[0101] Among them, the overlap degree calculation method can be realized by referring to the following method, including: the broken link cell A has 3 weak coverage grids, cell 1 is in 3 weak coverage grids, and appears 2 times in the 2nd cell ranking, then the overlap degree is 2, 3 = 66.67%

[0102] 2. Supplement the adjustable parameters such as electronic inclination angle, power and other information; the compensation coverage cell table can be output in the following table 3 format:

[0103] Table 3

[0104]

[0105] Step 5, judge whether the cell in the compensation cell table is adjustable;

[0106] Step 6, evaluate and calculate the weak coverage grid field strength enhancement of the cell in the compensation cell table after adjustment. For the top 3 adjustable cells in the overlap degree, make adjustment, and if the evaluation after enhancement fails to reduce 30% weak coverage grids after adjustment, do not make adjustment operation.

[0107] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present disclosure starts quickly, monitors the XDR data, and when there is no XDR data reporting of the cell and the base station within the threshold time, starts the emergency compensation coverage mechanism, and then confirms whether the compensation coverage is stopped or continued, so as to quickly guarantee the user perception and reduce complaints.

[0108] Moreover, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the occurrence of the fault cell, the judgment condition of the number of newly added weak coverage grids is added, and if there is no certain weak coverage area, no compensation coverage is made, so as to ensure the accuracy of the compensation coverage.

[0109] Further, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the most relevant compensation cell table is obtained by further calculation of the sampling points in the newly added weak coverage grid after the broken link, and the adjustable cell is confirmed, and whether the compensation after the adjustment of the adjustable cell can achieve the expected result is confirmed, so as to confirm whether the compensation operation can be performed, so as to ensure the accuracy of the compensation cell, and the compensation cell is confirmed with the grid service cell, so as to effectively avoid the effectiveness of the compensation service cell.

[0110] Further, as described above, whether to stop or continue to maintain the activated compensation coverage mechanism according to whether the wireless side of the cell or base station reports the alarm data before the threshold time ends and whether the cell or base station resumes the XDR data reporting can be implemented by the following method, but is not limited thereto, which comprises:

[0111] checking whether the wireless side of the cell or base station reports the alarm data before the threshold time ends within the compensation coverage timer counting time;

[0112] if it is checked that the wireless side of the cell or base station reports the alarm data and / or it is monitored that the cell or base station does not resume the XDR data reporting within the compensation coverage timer counting time, the activated compensation coverage mechanism is continued to be maintained;

[0113] if it is checked that the cell or base station does not report the alarm data and it is monitored that the cell or base station resumes the XDR data reporting within the compensation coverage timer counting time, the compensation coverage mechanism is stopped, the compensation coverage of the cell or base station is ended, and the compensation coverage timer is closed.

[0114] The present application synchronously confirms whether the compensation coverage is needed through the judgment of the XDR data collection and the matching of the wireless side base station alarm data, sets the verification period mechanism, shortens the duration of the coverage hole through this time window, and can perform the compensation coverage faster, that is, as long as the sampling condition is triggered, the compensation coverage is performed first, and then whether the compensation coverage is continued is immediately judged, and the compensation coverage is released only when the XDR resumes the sampling and there is no alarm data in the period, which prevents the duration of the inevitable coverage hole in the network.

[0115] The following embodiment will specifically describe the flow of the cell compensation coverage, as shown in FIG. 2, which comprises:

[0116] The first step is to establish the XDR data collection checking mechanism of the whole network cell level with the monitoring granularity of minutes, when it is monitored that there is no XDR data reporting of the cell or base station within the threshold time, the emergency compensation coverage mechanism is activated and the corresponding timer is activated, so as to prevent the real cell or base station outage and other problems in the data checking time, reduce the possible user complaints, and prevent the occurrence of the decrease of customer perception;

[0117] The second step is to check whether the XDR data of the cell or base station is reported before the monitoring threshold period ends, and to synchronously match the real-time alarm data of the cell or base station.

[0118] Third step: if the two check steps do not recover in the timer time or the cell and base station exist alarm data, continue to maintain the compensation coverage measure, only and only if the data acquisition recovers and no cell and base station alarm data is matched (the cell and base station deactivation state will not generate alarm and access user), the next step is performed;

[0119] Fourth step: the compensation coverage is ended after the cell and base station recover XDR data reporting and no alarm is found in the cell and base station;

[0120] Fifth step: the compensation coverage timer is closed to prevent frequent entry into the compensation coverage activity and avoid invalid work.

[0121] Compared with the prior art, the present application firstly collects and monitors the cell and base station XDR data in a time period, starts the emergency compensation coverage mechanism when no XDR data of the cell and base station is reported in the threshold time, and then confirms whether the compensation coverage is stopped or continued through the data acquisition and the alarm data on the wireless side; only when all the check conditions are met, the compensation coverage is ended, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly guaranteeing user perception and reducing complaints.

[0122] The application further provides a cell compensation coverage device.
