Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of network management technology, and in particular to an artificial intelligence-based 5G network intelligent switching management method. Background Art

[0002] In 5G networks, handover management is a key mechanism to ensure that user equipment (UE) maintains continuous connection when moving between different base stations. Existing handover management methods include but are not limited to: 1) When the user equipment detects that the signal strength of the neighboring base station exceeds the signal strength of the current base station, the handover is triggered. However, this may lead to a ping-pong effect, that is, the device frequently switches between two base stations, affecting the stability of the connection. 2) Handover is performed based on the distance between the user equipment and the base station, usually combined with the signal strength. However, considering only the distance may not be accurate because the signal quality is also affected by other factors (such as interference and obstacles). 3) Applicable to user equipment moving at high speeds, the handover timing is optimized by predicting its moving path and speed. The process requires accurate speed and path prediction, and errors will cause unnecessary switching or delays. Summary of the Invention

[0049] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0051] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a 5G network intelligent switching management method based on artificial intelligence, comprising the following steps:

[0052] 1. Collect network-related data and pre-process the network-related data to obtain a network dataset.

[0053] 1.1 Network-related data collection

[0054] Channel Quality Index (CQI): This collects channel quality information reported by user equipment (UE). User equipment (UE) periodically reports CQIs to the base station. These CQIs reflect the current state of the wireless channel. The base station monitors CQIs in real time through physical layer signal measurements to ensure data timeliness. The base station aggregates CQI data from multiple UEs to provide a comprehensive view of regional channel quality.

[0055] Mobility data: This includes user location, speed, acceleration, and direction of movement. This data is obtained using technologies such as GPS, Wi-Fi positioning, and Bluetooth beacons. The device's built-in sensors, such as the accelerometer and gyroscope, are used to obtain speed, acceleration, and direction of movement. The user's movement path and speed are inferred by analyzing changes in signal strength.

[0056] Network topology data: Base station location, coverage, adjacency, and load. Base stations automatically discover neighboring base stations and update adjacency relationships through the SON function. Base station location, coverage, and load information are regularly obtained from the Network Management System (NMS). Base station load is monitored in real time, identifying high- and low-load areas.

[0057] Historical switching data: past switching events, success rates, failure reasons, switching delays, etc. Storing historical switching data in a data warehouse facilitates subsequent analysis and model training.

[0058] User behavior data: User application types, traffic patterns, and service quality requirements. Deep packet inspection (DPI) technology is used to identify user application types and traffic patterns. Real-time monitoring of user service quality requirements, such as bandwidth, latency, and jitter, is performed. Based on historical user behavior data, user profiles are constructed to predict future needs.

[0059] Environmental data: such as weather conditions, geographic obstacles, and road traffic. Real-time weather conditions are obtained through interfaces with meteorological service providers. GIS data is used to identify geographic obstacles and road traffic conditions. Drones are used to monitor the environment in specific areas and obtain real-time geographic and traffic information.

[0060] 1.2 Preprocess the network-related data to obtain a network dataset

[0061] 1.21 Collect network-related data, perform denoising, anomaly detection, and missing data filling on the network data to obtain an initial data set.

[0062] 1) Denoising method: Use a low-pass filter to filter out high-frequency noise in signal transmission and retain useful low-frequency information.

[0063] 2) Statistical methods: Use statistical indicators such as mean and median to identify and remove abnormal data points.

[0064] 3) Anomaly Detection

[0065] IQR (interquartile range) method: By calculating the interquartile range of the data, we can identify and eliminate significantly deviated large and small values.

[0066] Machine learning methods: such as the Isolation Forest model, automatically detect abnormal data.

[0067] 4) Filling in missing data:

[0068] Interpolation method: Use linear interpolation and Lagrange interpolation methods to fill missing data.

[0069] Regression imputation: Predict missing values ​​using a simple regression model.

[0070] Multiple imputation: Fill in the gaps by training multiple models fusion results.

[0071] 1.22 Divide the initial dataset into two types: continuous values ​​and discrete values. Select different data normalization methods for different data types to complete the standardization operation of the initial dataset. For example, normalization and standardization are used for continuous values, and one-hot encoding or binarization is used for discrete values.

[0072] 1.23 Based on the normalized initial data set, calculate the time series characteristics of the signal strength, identify the periodic patterns of the time series characteristics, and obtain time series analysis results. Based on the time series analysis results, construct interaction characteristics and statistical characteristics of the user equipment and the network base station, and then use a feature selection algorithm to extract features to obtain relevant feature data.

[0073] Time series analysis: Calculates time series characteristics such as signal strength trends and volatility (e.g., standard deviation). Identifies periodic patterns (e.g., short-lived load peaks) to predict switching needs.

[0074] Interaction feature construction: Generate interaction features such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and coverage overlap rate based on the association data between devices and base stations.

[0075] Statistical features: Features such as maximum value, minimum value, mean, variance, kurtosis, and skewness can be used to describe signal quality.

[0076] 1.24 Identify handover events in the initial data set in combination with the relevant feature data, and classify and label the identified handover events to complete preprocessing of the network-related data.

[0077] Event classification: For example, using historical switching logs to identify and label each switching event (success, failure, delay, etc.). The classification process corresponds one-to-one with the model training labels.

[0078] Annotation: For example, automatically annotating common switching events using predefined rules (e.g., signal loss exceeding a certain threshold is considered a failure).

[0079] 2. Using the network data set, a switching demand prediction model for predicting network switching time and target and a switching effect prediction model for predicting network performance after switching are constructed.

[0080] 2.1 Switching Demand Forecasting Model

[0081] Current and historical signal quality, user equipment mobility pattern (position, speed and direction), base station status (load, available resources) and environmental information (weather, traffic) are extracted from the relevant feature data, and the extracted data are organized into a time series data structure to obtain a first training data set.

[0082] An LSTM network is used to capture the temporal dependencies of channel quality, user mobility, and environmental characteristics to obtain a time series model. Then, using sliding window technology, the first training data set is input into the time series model for training, so as to learn and predict the future state of network usage and determine the timing of network switching.

[0083] A graph neural network model is constructed based on the network topology structure, and the first training data set is input into the graph neural network model to obtain the status and relationship changes of neighboring base stations; wherein, each node in the graph neural network model represents a base station, and each edge represents the connection relationship between base stations; information propagation and aggregation are performed on the network graph, so that the model captures the status and relationship changes of neighboring base stations.

[0084] Use historical switching records for supervised learning, implement cross-validation and hyperparameter optimization techniques (such as random search and Bayesian optimization) to improve model performance.

[0085] Deploy and integrate the time series model and the graph neural network model to obtain a switching demand prediction model, use the switching demand prediction model to predict real-time data, and obtain the network switching time and the switching target base station.

[0086] 2.2 Switching effect prediction model:

[0087] Base station characteristics (signal strength, load, historical performance indicators), connection device requirements (bandwidth, delay sensitivity) and overall network status (congestion level, interference situation) are extracted from the relevant feature data, and the extracted data are integrated into a second training data set.

[0088] A multilayer perceptron (MLP) is constructed to process nonlinear feature combinations. Residual connections and batch normalization are introduced into the multilayer perceptron to optimize the training stability and speed of the deep network and obtain a deep neural network.

[0089] The deep neural network is trained using the second training data set, and a random forest (which automatically selects the optimal switching target base station through voting output from multiple decision trees) and a gradient boosting tree (which gradually adjusts the decision error and combines multiple weak learners to improve the predictive ability of the overall model) are integrated into the deep learning network to obtain a deep learning model.

[0090] The deep learning model is trained using the network performance data after the switch to predict and evaluate the performance indicator trend of the network after the switch.

[0091] 3. Formulate an initial switching strategy based on the constructed model, and optimize the initial switching strategy using reinforcement learning to obtain the optimal switching strategy. This includes:

[0092] 3.1 State definition:

[0093] Current network status: including signal quality, base station load, throughput, latency, etc.

[0094] User status: location information, speed, service requirements, etc.

[0095] Environmental conditions: information such as weather and road traffic.

[0096] The current network state, user state and environment state are acquired and integrated to obtain state information, and the state information is encoded into a feature vector of a fixed length to obtain a state representation, thereby completing the state definition.

[0097] 3.2 Action Definition

[0098] Discrete action space: such as switching to a specific base station, enabling or disabling a specific function.

[0099] Continuous action space: Adjusting switching parameters (such as switching thresholds and power control parameters).

[0100] 3.3 Reward Definition

[0101] Instant rewards: Instant rewards are given based on network performance indicators (such as throughput and signal strength) and user experience (such as latency and packet loss rate) after switching.

[0102] Long-term rewards: Consider the long-term optimization of network resources, such as reducing network jitter and improving system stability.

[0103] 3.4 Integrate the defined states, actions, and rewards to obtain a reinforcement learning framework. Use the initial dataset to continuously train the reinforcement learning framework to obtain a policy model. Use the policy model to optimize the initial handover policy output by the prediction model to obtain the optimal handover policy. Deploy the policy model on access and core network nodes for real-time online decision-making.

[0104] When training the reinforcement learning framework, a Deep Q-Network (DQN) can be used to handle scenarios with limited switching options (discrete actions). A Deep Neural Network (DNN) is used to estimate the Q-value function, which assesses the value of each possible action in each state.

[0105] 4. Deploy the network switching engine model on the edge computing node and adjust the optimal switching strategy in real time according to changes in the network environment. This includes:

[0106] Edge computing nodes (MEC) are located close to user devices. Deploying models on MEC servers can significantly reduce data transmission latency and improve the real-time and responsiveness of handoff decisions. Within MEC nodes, protocols can be established to ensure that neighboring edge nodes can efficiently share necessary status information, using distributed ledger technology to ensure data consistency and integrity during information sharing.

[0107] Choose lightweight models (such as MobileNet and TinyML, which are suitable for running on the limited resources of terminal devices) to reduce network burden. Integrate the device's CPU, GPU, NPU and other hardware resources to optimize model inference speed and power consumption.

[0108] The lightweight model is subjected to model compression (such as knowledge distillation and quantization to ensure efficient operation) and containerization operations (such as containerization using Docker or Kubernetes to facilitate management and expansion) to obtain a network switching engine model.

[0109] The initial data set is input into the network switching engine model, and the network switching operation priority and target base station recommendation are output. A deep learning or reinforcement learning model is used to evaluate the trust level of available base stations, and a switching recommendation is generated to make real-time adjustments to the optimal switching strategy.

[0110] 5. Construct a virtual simulated digital environment to perform network simulation, evaluate the optimal switching strategy based on the simulated virtual network environment, and then optimize the network switching engine model in real time based on the evaluation results. This includes:

[0111] Use physical simulation tools (such as NS-3 or Omnet++) to simulate network infrastructure, signal interference, and user mobility. Then use simulation tools to integrate real user behavior patterns, consider the interaction between different user devices and applications, and perform network simulation.

[0112] A digital twin is selected as a strategy testing platform, and a multi-dimensional simulation matrix is ​​introduced into the strategy testing platform to evaluate the optimal switching strategy and its impact on throughput, latency, user feedback, etc.

[0113] Among them, 1) Digital Twin is a conceptual system for the interaction between the physical world and the digital space. It is both a new technology and a new paradigm. Digital twins make full use of physical models, sensor updates, operating history and other data, integrate simulation technology, and map in three-dimensional space to reflect the entire life cycle of the corresponding physical equipment. Simply put, a digital twin is to create a digital version of a "clone". 2) A multidimensional simulation matrix refers to a matrix with multiple dimensions (such as two-dimensional, three-dimensional, etc.), whose elements can be numerical, symbolic, or other data types. This type of matrix is ​​very useful in simulation systems, especially when it is necessary to deal with complex systems or perform multidimensional data analysis.

[0114] The network switching engine model is calibrated and the optimal switching strategy is adjusted according to the evaluation result of the optimal switching strategy to achieve continuous optimization.

[0115] Therefore, the present invention provides an artificial intelligence-based 5G network intelligent switching management method, which not only realizes intelligent switching decision-making, but also improves the accuracy and efficiency of switching decisions, enhances network adaptability and diversified needs, and improves user experience.
