[0033] AAU (Active Antenna Unit): AAU is one of the key devices in 5G networks. It integrates the RF part and the antenna part in traditional base stations. AAU is mainly composed of an antenna array, a radio unit (RU) and some digital signal processing units.

[0034] RTWP (Received Total Wideband Power): It mainly measures the total power of all signals received by the base station receiver within a specific bandwidth, including useful signals from user equipment, background noise, and various interference signals.

[0035] TR (Transmit Receive): A transceiver is a device used to send and receive radio signals. In 5G communication systems, TR usually refers to the transceiver module in a base station or terminal device.

And with the development of cities, the wireless environment of macro stations is changing. At the same time, if the equipment is hung outdoors for a long time, the macro station antenna will be blocked, resulting in a decrease in the coverage of the macro station.

[0037] In the current related technology, in order to determine whether the macro base station antenna is blocked, it is necessary to arrange manual on-site inspection and judgment, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient.

The antenna channels contained in each antenna channel group are pre-configured in the AAU device.

[0049] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, for the convenience of description, each antenna channel group The received RTWP value is In this way, the N antenna channel groups of the AAU equipment of the 5G macro station The corresponding RTWP value is

[0050] In this way, by continuously monitoring the different antenna channels of the AAU equipment of the 5G network macro station RTWP value Then determine the fluctuation of RTWP value of each antenna channel group and the RTWP value of different antenna channels The difference can be used to determine whether the AAU has problems with occlusion or coverage environment changes.

[0051] Step S204, determining a first received total broadband power change of the received total broadband power of at least one antenna channel group in each acquisition cycle according to the received total broadband power of at least one antenna channel group, and determining a second received total broadband power change of the received total broadband power of at least one antenna channel group in different acquisition cycles;

[0052] In the technical solution provided in step S204, the first received total broadband power change includes the distribution of the received total broadband power of each antenna channel group in each acquisition cycle, and the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the received total broadband power of each antenna channel group. The second received total broadband power change includes the change of the difference between the received total broadband power of each antenna channel group in the previous acquisition cycle and the received total broadband power in the current acquisition cycle.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the step of determining a first received total broadband power change of the received total broadband power of at least one antenna channel group within each acquisition cycle includes: determining a maximum received total broadband power change within the acquisition cycle, and a minimum received total broadband power change within the acquisition cycle; and determining a change in a difference between the maximum received total broadband power and the minimum received total broadband power within the acquisition cycle based on the maximum received total broadband power transformation and the minimum received total broadband power change.

[0054] As an optional implementation, the step of determining a change in a second received total broadband power of at least one antenna channel group within different acquisition cycles includes: determining a first received total broadband power of at least one antenna channel group within a first acquisition cycle, and a second received total broadband power of at least one antenna channel group within a second acquisition cycle, wherein the first acquisition cycle is any acquisition cycle except an initial acquisition cycle, and the second acquisition cycle is an acquisition cycle preceding the first acquisition cycle; determining a difference between the second received total broadband power of at least one antenna channel group and the first received total broadband power, wherein the difference is a change in the second received total broadband power.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the step of determining the difference between the second received total broadband power of at least one antenna channel group and the first received total broadband power of at least one antenna channel group includes: determining the average first received total broadband power of each of the at least one antenna channel group and the average second received total broadband power of each of the at least one antenna channel group; determining the difference between the average value of the second received total broadband power and the average value of the first received total broadband power as the difference.

[0056] Step S206, determining whether the active antenna unit has a first type of abnormal state based on the change of the first received total broadband power, and determining whether the active antenna unit has a second type of abnormal state based on the change of the second received total broadband power, wherein the first type of abnormal state includes the active antenna unit being completely blocked and the active antenna unit being partially blocked, and the second type of abnormal state includes a change in the coverage environment of the active antenna unit.

[0057] In the technical solution provided in step S206, the step of determining whether the active antenna unit is in a first type of abnormal state based on the change of the first received total broadband power includes: when it is determined based on the change of the difference that the cumulative duration that the difference is greater than the first preset difference threshold within the acquisition period exceeds the first preset duration, it is determined that the active antenna unit is in a first type of abnormal state, and the first type of abnormal state is that the active antenna unit is partially blocked.

[0058] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, when the AAU of the 5G macro station is partially blocked, the antenna channel group of this AAU device RTWP value There will be significant differences between them. This difference can be reflected by the difference between the maximum and minimum RTWP values. In this way, when judging whether the AAU is partially blocked, the antenna channel group can be taken. RTWP value The maximum value of

[0059]

[0060] And get the antenna channel group RTWP value Minimum value of

[0061]

[0062] Then calculate like Figure 6 As shown, if within a certain period [Timer1] Δ RTWP ≥Thesh RTWP1 [First preset difference threshold], it means that the AAU antenna is partially blocked. The specific judgment condition is expressed by the following formula:

[0063]

[0064] Figure 6 The points in represent the RTWP values ​​of different antenna channel groups, and the dotted line represents the first preset difference threshold.

[0065] As an optional implementation, the step of determining whether the active antenna unit is in a first type of abnormal state based on a change in the first received total broadband power includes: when, within a collection period determined based on the change in the first received total broadband power, the received total broadband power of each antenna channel group is less than a preset received total broadband power, and the cumulative duration for which the received total broadband power of each antenna channel group is less than the preset received total broadband power exceeds a second preset duration, it is determined that the active antenna unit is in a first type of abnormal state, and the first type of abnormal state is that the active antenna unit is completely blocked.

[0066] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown in the figure, when the AAU of the 5G macro station is completely blocked, the antenna channel group of the AAU There is an obstruction between the antenna channel group and the user terminal, which will cause RTWP value Too low. In this case, select the antenna channel group RTWP value

[0067] like Figure 8 As shown, if In a certain period, [Timer2] is continuously lower than the preset total broadband receiving power Thesh RTWP2 :

[0068]

[0069] This means that the AAU antenna is completely blocked. Figure 8 The points in the figure represent the RTWP values ​​of different antenna channel groups, and the dotted line represents the preset total received broadband power.

[0070] As an optional implementation, the step of determining whether the active antenna unit is in a second type of abnormal state based on the change in the second received total broadband power includes: when the RTWP difference between the previous cycle and the current cycle corresponding to at least one antenna channel group is not less than a second preset difference threshold, determining that the active antenna unit is in a second type of abnormal state.

[0071] Specifically, take the antenna channel group in the previous cycle [Timer3] RTWP value

[0072] Get the antenna channel group in the current cycle [Timer3] RTWP value

[0073] If within a certain period, Fig. 9 As shown, The RTWP value of All of them are better than those in the current cycle. The second high preset difference threshold value Thesh RTWP3 , indicating that the coverage environment of AAU has changed;

[0074]

[0075] Fig. 9 The points above the horizontal line represent the RTWP value in the previous cycle, the points below the horizontal line represent the RTWP value in the next cycle, and the dotted line represents the second preset difference threshold.

[0079]

[0080] Step S1004: establishing a wireless environment change analysis model for the AAU.

[0081] The above model includes three sub-models, which are respectively used to determine whether the AAU is partially blocked, whether the AAU is completely blocked, and whether the coverage environment of the AAU changes.

[0082] Step S1006: Establish an RTWP environment fluctuation monitoring and calculation module in the AAU, and run a wireless environment change analysis model in the module.

[0083] Step S1008: After determining that the AAU is abnormal through the wireless environment change analysis model, output the abnormal data and the judgment result.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, after the abnormal data and the abnormal judgment result are output, the AAU maintenance task can also be performed according to the following process:

[0085] The first step is to analyze the abnormal state type and determine the type of maintenance or optimization task that needs to be performed based on the preset abnormal state and maintenance type correspondence table. For example, for a partial obstruction state, it may be necessary to conduct an on-site survey to remove the obstruction. For a coverage environment change state, it may be necessary to adjust the AAU's transmit power or fine-tune the antenna angle.

[0086] The second step is to select the most suitable maintenance personnel or team for task allocation according to the geographical location information of the AAU and the current workload status of the personnel or team of the network operation and maintenance center;

[0087] The third step is to generate a task work order containing the maintenance or optimization task type, detailed location information of the AAU, a specific description of the abnormal status, and the recommended maintenance or optimization strategy;

[0088] The fourth step is to send the task work order to the mobile terminal devices of the selected maintenance personnel or teams through the management platform of the network operation and maintenance center, so that they can receive and perform the maintenance or optimization tasks in time;

[0089] Optionally, the method further includes tracking and providing feedback on the execution of the maintenance or optimization task to ensure the effectiveness of the maintenance or optimization measures, and after the task is completed, recollecting the RTWP value and evaluating the AAU status to confirm whether the abnormal status has been resolved.

[0091] In the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, different RTWP data of the antenna channel group of the 5G macro station AAU are continuously collected, and an analysis model of the RTWP data group is established. From the RTWP data model, the changes in the wireless air interface environment of the 5G macro station AAU are analyzed and discovered, thereby sorting out the 5G macro station AAU with abnormal coverage, and then scheduling for rectification; the present invention can effectively monitor the wireless environment of 5G macro station AAUs in the entire network, and sort out the 5G macro station AAUs with abnormal wireless air interface coverage, and schedule them for subsequent processing, thereby effectively improving the rectification efficiency of the 5G macro station AAUs.
