[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0049] In existing technologies, based on building and base station engineering parameter information, a simple spatial trigonometric function is used to determine whether the antenna feeder is obstructed, based on factors such as station height, orientation, and GIS information of the building. For example... Figure 2 As shown, if the angle between the two rays of building A is within the horizontal lobe of the antenna (approximately 60 degrees for 5G and 40 degrees for 4G), and the distance does not exceed the set value (300 meters for 2.6G, 800 meters for 700M, and 400 meters for 4G), then the antenna is considered to cover building A. If the angle between the antenna and the rays of other buildings between building A and building C overlaps by more than 80%, then building C is considered to be obstructing the horizontal defense line. However, this method relies on accurate base station operating parameters and building information. Urban development is rapid, building information may not be updated in a timely manner, data obtained by web crawlers may be incomplete, and there are many optimizations to the antenna feeders on-site, resulting in untimely updates to the operating parameters of the existing base stations. These factors all affect the recognition results, leading to low accuracy in the current antenna feeder obstruction recognition.

[0050] To address the low accuracy of antenna occlusion identification results in existing technologies, this invention provides a method, apparatus, device, and product for antenna occlusion judgment based on user distribution, thereby improving the accuracy of antenna occlusion identification results.

[0051] The following is combined Figure 1 The antenna occlusion determination method based on user distribution provided by this invention is described as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for determining antenna occlusion based on user distribution, comprising the following steps:

[0052] S110. Obtain user distribution data for the target cell. The user distribution data reflects the geographical location distribution of users in the target cell when they access the base station corresponding to the target cell.

[0053] S120. Obtain the collected working parameter data and theoretical working parameter data of the target cell. The collected working parameter data reflects the base station antenna feeder parameters of the target cell obtained based on the MR data of the target cell. The theoretical working parameter data reflects the base station antenna feeder design parameters of the target cell.

[0054] S130. Input the first input data into the trained first prediction model, input the second input data into the trained second prediction model, and obtain the first antenna azimuth correction data output by the first prediction model and the second antenna azimuth correction data output by the second prediction model. The first input data includes user distribution data and theoretical engineering parameter data, and the second input data includes user distribution data and collection engineering parameter data.

[0055] S140. Based on the difference between the first antenna azimuth correction data and the second antenna azimuth correction data, determine whether there is an obstruction between the base station antenna feeder corresponding to the target cell and the target cell.

[0056] The method provided by this invention acquires user distribution data of a target cell and uses a trained first and second prediction model to calibrate the theoretical engineering parameters reflecting the base station antenna feeder design parameters corresponding to the target cell and the antenna azimuth angle data in the base station antenna feeder design parameters calculated based on the MR data of the target cell, respectively. This allows for the acquisition of first antenna azimuth angle correction data corresponding to the user distribution data of the target cell under an ideal unobstructed state and second antenna azimuth angle correction data corresponding to the user distribution data of the target cell under actual conditions. The difference between the second antenna azimuth angle correction data and the first antenna azimuth angle correction data is used to determine whether there is obstruction between the antenna feeder and the target cell. In this process, user distribution data is used to calibrate the antenna azimuth angle data of the antenna feeder, thereby identifying antenna feeder obstruction and improving the accuracy of antenna feeder obstruction identification results.

[0057] The user distribution data of the target cell reflects the geographical distribution of users accessing the base station antenna feeder corresponding to the target cell. This data can be obtained by analyzing the geographical locations of the users' communication terminals when they access the base station. Since there are many users in the target cell, in one possible implementation of this invention, instead of obtaining the geographical locations of all users within the target cell, users are sampled, and user distribution data reflecting the user distribution of the target cell is obtained based on the geographical locations of each sampled user. That is, obtaining the user distribution data of the target cell includes:

[0058] Obtain the latitude and longitude information of each sampling user;

[0059] User distribution data is obtained based on the latitude and longitude information of each sampled user.

[0060] Specifically, the latitude and longitude information of each sampling user is obtained, including:

[0061] Data matching is performed based on 4G MR data and 5G MRO data of the target cell to obtain the latitude and longitude information of the sampled users.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, the latitude and longitude information of each sampling user can be obtained based on the 4G MR (Measurement Report) fingerprint database and the 5G inter-system measurement data table. Specifically, by using the neighbor cell information of 4G carried by 5G, the 4G MR fingerprint database is queried to obtain the 4G latitude and longitude information. The 4G latitude and longitude information is then backfilled into the 5G MRO (MR Original) sampling data with neighbor cell relationships, realizing 5G MRO rasterization processing, and obtaining the latitude and longitude information of the 5G user sampling points, such as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0063] In one possible implementation, the latitude and longitude information of each sampled user can be directly used as user distribution data. However, this would result in a large amount of data processing and would not directly reflect the user distribution. To further extract user distribution data that directly reflects the user distribution and has a smaller data volume, user distribution data is obtained based on the latitude and longitude information of each sampled user, including:

[0064] Initialize the mean and covariance matrices of each Gaussian distribution;

[0065] The probability of a sampled user belonging to a Gaussian distribution is determined based on the latitude and longitude information of the sampled user.

[0066] The mean and covariance matrix of each Gaussian distribution are updated based on the probability that the sampled user belongs to each Gaussian distribution.

[0067] Repeat the step of determining the probability that a sampled user belongs to each Gaussian distribution based on the latitude and longitude information of the sampled user until the mean and covariance matrix of each Gaussian distribution converges or the number of updates of the mean and covariance matrix of each Gaussian distribution reaches the preset number.

[0068] The mean of each Gaussian distribution is obtained as the center point of the user distribution, and the user distribution data is determined based on the center point.

[0069] In one implementation of the method provided by this invention, the latitude and longitude information of the sampled users is considered as a mixture of multiple Gaussian distributions, each representing a cluster. The data is fitted by maximizing the likelihood function to find the optimal cluster center, thereby obtaining user distribution data that reflects the specific distribution of users. Specifically, the latitude and longitude information corresponding to each sampled user is used as data points to construct a dataset. The mean (representing the cluster center) and covariance matrix of each Gaussian distribution are randomly initialized, and the probability (posterior probability) of each data point belonging to each Gaussian distribution is calculated. in, Representing data points The probability of belonging to the k-th Gaussian distribution. These are the weights of the k-th Gaussian distribution. This is the density function of a multivariate Gaussian distribution. Then, based on the probability that each data point belongs to a Gaussian distribution, the mean and covariance matrix are updated, as shown in the following formula:

[0070] ;

[0071] ;

[0072] .

[0073] Repeat the steps of calculating the probability of each data point belonging to each Gaussian distribution and updating the mean and covariance matrix until convergence (the mean and covariance matrix no longer change) or the preset number of iterations is reached. The final mean of each Gaussian distribution is used as the center point of the user cluster. User distribution data is determined based on the center point; specifically, the position of the center point relative to the base station of the target cell can be used as the user distribution data. In one possible implementation, the center point can be connected to the vertex of the base station of the target cell to obtain a connecting line, and the angle and start and end positions of the connecting line can be used as the user distribution data.

[0074] The antenna structure affects user distribution because users tend to communicate in locations with better signal strength. Theoretically, the signal is better in the direction the antenna azimuth points (also known as the direction of the power parameter normal), and users will be concentrated on both sides of this direction. As the distance from the antenna azimuth increases, the number of user sampling points should decrease. However, if there is obstruction, the direction in which users are concentrated will deviate from the direction the antenna azimuth points.

[0075] The method provided by this invention utilizes this principle to infer the antenna azimuth angle under unobstructed conditions based on user distribution data, using both collected engineering parameter data and theoretical engineering parameter data. Figure 3As shown, the antenna azimuth angle inferred from theoretical engineering parameter data and user distribution data corresponds to the normal engineering parameter normal direction, while the antenna azimuth angle inferred from collected engineering parameter data and user distribution data corresponds to the fuzzy engineering parameter normal direction. Based on the difference between the two, it is possible to identify whether there is obstruction between the target cell and the antenna feeder.

[0076] The theoretical engineering parameter data includes the parameters of the base station antenna feeder. This data reflects the design parameters of the base station antenna feeder corresponding to the target cell. The theoretical engineering parameter data can be obtained based on the antenna feeder design documents, such as the initial design documents or the design documents after on-site RF optimization. While the theoretical engineering parameter data represents the theoretical parameters of the base station antenna feeder corresponding to the current target cell, due to potential RF optimization during base station operation or environmental influences, the antenna azimuth angle in the theoretical engineering parameter data recorded in the design documents may not be accurate. The method provided in this invention corrects the antenna azimuth angle in the theoretical engineering parameter data based on user distribution data and theoretical engineering parameter data, under the assumption of no obstruction. Specifically, the first input data, including theoretical engineering parameter data and user distribution data, is input into the first prediction model. The first prediction model is trained based on multiple sets of first training data. Each set of first training data includes sample first input data and a first antenna azimuth label. The first training data is obtained based on cell data without obstruction. In other words, the first prediction model can output antenna azimuth correction data that makes the actual user distribution consistent with the user distribution data under unobstructed conditions, based on the input theoretical engineering parameter data and user distribution data.

[0077] The collected operational parameter data is the base station antenna feeder parameter calculated based on the MR data of the target cell. The MR data of the target cell is data collected by the target terminal. In other words, the MR data of the target cell reflects the actual situation of users in the target cell. Based on the MR data of the target cell, the base station antenna feeder parameters can be inferred. The collected operational parameter data can also be called fuzzy operational parameter data. The method provided by this invention corrects the antenna azimuth angle in the collected operational parameter data based on user distribution data and collected operational parameter data. Specifically, a second input data including collected operational parameter data and user distribution data is input into a second prediction model. The second prediction model is trained based on multiple sets of second training data. Each set of second training data includes sample second input data and a second antenna azimuth angle label. The second training data can be obtained based on cells with or without obstruction. It can be seen that the collected operational parameter data already reflects the base station antenna feeder parameters corresponding to the actual situation of the corresponding users, and the user distribution data also reflects the base station antenna feeder parameters corresponding to the actual situation of the corresponding users. Through the second prediction model, the antenna azimuth angle correction data corresponding to the actual state of the cell can be obtained.

[0078] As can be seen from the preceding explanation, the first prediction model corrects the theoretical antenna azimuth angle based on user distribution data under the theoretical state of no obstruction. The first antenna azimuth angle correction data output is the antenna azimuth angle of the corresponding user distribution data under the theoretical state of no obstruction. The second prediction model corrects the antenna azimuth angle inferred from the actual MR data based on user distribution data. The output is the antenna azimuth angle of the corresponding user distribution data under the actual state. Therefore, the closer the second antenna azimuth angle correction data output by the second prediction model is to the first antenna azimuth angle correction data output by the first prediction model, the lower the probability of obstruction.

[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, in one possible implementation, both the first and second prediction models can adopt the Conv-LSTM model structure. During training, the sample data is divided into a standard set and a test set, where the ratio of the standard set to the test set is K, and the ratio corresponding to the test set is (1-K). The dataset is divided into a standard set train_set and a test set, i.e., standard set train_set = dataset * K, test_set = dataset * (1-K).

[0094] Antenna downtilt angle also has a certain impact on user distribution. In one possible implementation, to improve the accuracy of antenna obstruction identification, the method provided by this invention sets corresponding first and second prediction models for multiple antenna downtilt angles. That is, the first input data is input into the trained first prediction model, and the second input data is input into the trained second prediction model. The method then obtains the first antenna azimuth correction data output by the first prediction model and the second antenna azimuth correction data output by the second prediction model. This includes:

[0095] The input data is fed into multiple first prediction models respectively, and the first antenna azimuth correction data output by each first prediction model is obtained. Each first prediction model corresponds to an antenna downtilt angle.

[0096] The input data is fed into multiple second prediction models to obtain the second antenna azimuth correction data output by each second prediction model. Each second prediction model corresponds to an antenna downtilt angle.

[0097] By training prediction models for different downtilt angle scenarios, corresponding antenna azimuth correction data can be output for different antenna downtilt angle scenarios, providing more data information and improving the accuracy of the result of judging whether the antenna feed is blocked.

[0098] Determining whether the antenna feeder system to be judged has obstructions based on the difference between the first antenna azimuth correction data and the second antenna azimuth correction data includes:

[0099] Obtain the mean square error between the first data group and the second data group. The first data group includes the azimuth correction data of each first antenna, and the second data group includes the azimuth correction data of each second antenna.

[0100] The presence of obstruction in the antenna feeder system to be judged is determined based on the mean square error.

[0101] The antenna azimuth angle under the assumption of no obstruction is corrected under different downtilt angle scenarios to obtain a set of first antenna azimuth angle correction data. The actual antenna azimuth angle is then corrected under different downtilt angle scenarios to obtain a set of second antenna azimuth angle correction data. The mean square error (MSE) of these two sets of data is obtained. If the MSE is within a preset range, no obstruction is determined. In one possible implementation, if the MSE is below 3dB, no obstruction is determined; otherwise, obstruction exists.

[0102] Furthermore, based on the second antenna azimuth correction data, antenna and feeder optimization suggestions can also be output, specifically, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the azimuth angles obtained from the existing network MR data of each cell are corrected to obtain the calibrated normal angle (i.e., the second antenna azimuth angle correction data). The deviation between the second antenna azimuth angle correction data corresponding to each cell and the standard technical parameter normal angle (the actual antenna azimuth angle) is calculated, and the antenna feeder correction result is output. The antenna feeder correction result is an optimization suggestion for the antenna feeder, which may include adjusting the azimuth angle, adjusting the base station address location, etc.

[0103] After obtaining the judgment result of whether there is occlusion, the judgment result, the community location raster data, the building layer information, the GIS-based information of surrounding occluding buildings, and the optimization suggestions can be output together.

[0104] The method provided by this invention was experimentally verified using a real residential community as an example. The results showed a root mean square error of 4.3 dB, indicating the presence of occlusion. Combined with weak coverage grid data, the building containing the weak coverage grid was located. Figure 8 As shown, there is a weak coverage grid within the angle range between the first antenna azimuth correction data and the second antenna azimuth correction data. Based on the on-site inspection, there is indeed severe obstruction.

[0105] The antenna obstruction determination device based on user distribution provided by the present invention will be described below. The antenna obstruction determination device based on user distribution described below can be referred to in correspondence with the antenna obstruction determination method based on user distribution described above. Figure 9 As shown, the antenna obstruction determination device based on user distribution provided by the present invention includes:

[0106] The distribution data acquisition module 910 is used to acquire user distribution data of the target cell. The user distribution data reflects the geographical distribution of users in the target cell when they access the base station corresponding to the target cell.

[0107] The engineering parameter data acquisition module 920 is used to acquire the collected engineering parameter data and theoretical engineering parameter data of the target cell. The collected engineering parameter data reflects the base station antenna feeder parameters of the target cell obtained based on the MR data of the target cell, and the theoretical engineering parameter data reflects the base station antenna feeder design parameters of the target cell.

[0108] The azimuth correction module 930 is used to input the first input data into the trained first prediction model, input the second input data into the trained second prediction model, and obtain the first antenna azimuth correction data output by the first prediction model and the second antenna azimuth correction data output by the second prediction model. The first input data includes user distribution data and theoretical engineering parameter data, and the second input data includes user distribution data and collection engineering parameter data.

[0109] The judgment module 940 is used to determine whether there is an obstruction between the base station antenna feeder corresponding to the target cell and the target cell based on the difference between the first antenna azimuth correction data and the second antenna azimuth correction data.

The first training data includes sample first input data and first antenna azimuth label, and the second training data includes sample second input data and second antenna azimuth label.
