Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a data processing method and related equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Fixed wireless access (FWA) provides wireless LAN or wired LAN access to end users through indoor or outdoor customer premises equipment (CPE). CPE can provide end users with a variety of services such as internet, landline telephone, television, and smart home.
[0003] FWA and Fiber Optic Wi-Fi (FWA) both address the "last mile" access problem to the network. The difference is that fiber optic connections are wired, while FWA connects wirelessly to a base station to access the network.
[0004] Since FWA (Fiber Optic Web Access) aims to become an alternative to fiber optics, wireless operators promise FWA users speeds exceeding a certain target threshold, such as 300Mbps. Users exceeding this threshold are considered satisfied with FWA; those below are considered dissatisfied. Given limited wireless resources, how to allocate resources to improve FWA user satisfaction is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application provides a data processing method and related equipment that can improve user satisfaction with FWA services.
[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a data processing method, the method comprising: acquiring the degree to which the historical data transmission rate of each of a plurality of terminals satisfies the target data transmission rate when accessing a fixed wireless network (FWA) service; determining the scheduling priority of each of the terminals based on the degree of satisfaction; and scheduling the FWA service for the plurality of terminals according to the scheduling priority.
[0007] In this embodiment, the scheduling priority is determined based on the degree to which the actual data transmission rate of the terminal satisfies the target data transmission rate, and the FWA service is scheduled based on the scheduling priority. This allows the scheduling of FWA services to be adjusted according to the degree to which the terminal satisfies the target transmission rate, thereby improving the user satisfaction rate of FWA services.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the degree of satisfaction is specifically defined as the difference between the amount of data transmitted by the terminal within a historical statistical time window and the amount of data transmitted when the target data transmission rate is achieved.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the plurality of terminals includes a first terminal and a second terminal;
[0010] When the satisfaction level indicates that the historical data transmission rate of the first terminal is greater than or equal to the target data transmission rate, and the historical data transmission rate of the second terminal is less than the target data transmission rate, the scheduling priority of the second terminal is higher than that of the first terminal. In other words, for terminals that have already met the target transmission rate, their scheduling priority can be set to a lower value, thereby allocating more resources to terminals that have not yet met the target transmission rate.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the plurality of terminals includes a first terminal and a second terminal;
[0012] When the satisfaction level indicates that the historical data transmission rate of the first terminal is greater than the target data transmission rate by a preset percentage but less than the target data transmission rate, and the historical data transmission rate of the second terminal is less than the target data transmission rate by a preset percentage, the scheduling priority of the second terminal is lower than that of the first terminal. In other words, for terminals that have not yet met the target transmission rate, a higher historical transmission rate indicates a greater likelihood that they will meet the target transmission rate, thus increasing the priority of these terminals.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the plurality of terminals includes a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the satisfaction level of the first terminal is a first satisfaction level, and the satisfaction level of the second terminal is a second satisfaction level; the step of scheduling the FWA service for the plurality of terminals according to the scheduling priority includes: determining that the first terminal corresponds to a first scheduling priority and the second terminal corresponds to a second scheduling priority based on the first satisfaction level and the second satisfaction level; calculating the priority value of the first terminal according to a first calculation method corresponding to the first scheduling priority; calculating the priority value of the second terminal according to a second calculation method corresponding to the second scheduling priority; the first calculation method and the second calculation method are different; the priority values of the first terminal and the second terminal are used to determine the priority order of the first terminal and the second terminal; and scheduling the FWA service for the first terminal and the second terminal according to the priority order.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the first calculation method is as follows: determining a priority value for the terminal based on at least two of the terminal's satisfaction level, spectral efficiency, and preset weights; the priority value is positively correlated with the satisfaction level, the spectral efficiency, and the preset weights; the preset weights are related to whether the terminal is a first-packet terminal or a last-packet terminal.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the first calculation method or the second calculation method is: determining a priority value for the terminal based on the terminal's spectral efficiency and historical data transmission rate; the priority value is positively correlated with the spectral efficiency and negatively correlated with the historical data transmission rate.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the second calculation method is as follows: determining the priority value of the terminal based on the degree of satisfaction and the spectral efficiency; the priority value is positively correlated with the degree of satisfaction and negatively correlated with the spectral efficiency.

[0019] The scheduling module is used to determine the scheduling priority of each terminal based on the satisfaction level; and to schedule the FWA service for the multiple terminals according to the scheduling priority.
[0020] In one possible implementation, the degree of satisfaction is specifically defined as the difference between the amount of data transmitted by the terminal within a historical statistical time window and the amount of data transmitted when the target data transmission rate is achieved.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the plurality of terminals includes a first terminal and a second terminal;
[0022] If the satisfaction level indicates that the historical data transmission rate of the first terminal is greater than or equal to the target data transmission rate, and the historical data transmission rate of the second terminal is less than the target data transmission rate, the scheduling priority of the second terminal is higher than that of the first terminal.
[0023] In one possible implementation, the plurality of terminals includes a first terminal and a second terminal;
[0024] If the satisfaction level indicates that the historical data transmission rate of the first terminal is greater than a preset percentage of the target data transmission rate but less than the target data transmission rate, and the historical data transmission rate of the second terminal is less than a preset percentage of the target data transmission rate, then the scheduling priority of the second terminal is lower than the scheduling priority of the first terminal.
[0025] The plurality of terminals includes a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the satisfaction level of the first terminal is a first satisfaction level, and the satisfaction level of the second terminal is a second satisfaction level; the scheduling module is used for:
[0026] Based on the first degree of satisfaction and the second degree of satisfaction, the first terminal is determined to correspond to a first scheduling priority, and the second terminal is determined to correspond to a second scheduling priority; the first scheduling priority is higher than the second scheduling priority.
[0027] The priority value of the first terminal is calculated according to the first calculation method corresponding to the first scheduling priority.
[0028] The priority value of the second terminal is calculated according to the second calculation method corresponding to the second scheduling priority; the first calculation method and the second calculation method are different; the priority value of the first terminal and the priority value of the second terminal are used to determine the priority order of the first terminal and the second terminal;
[0029] According to the priority order, the FWA service is scheduled for the first terminal and the second terminal.
[0030] In one possible implementation, the first calculation method is as follows:
[0031] A priority value for a terminal is determined based on at least two of the terminal's satisfaction level, spectral efficiency, and preset weights; the priority value is positively correlated with the satisfaction level, the spectral efficiency, and the preset weights; the preset weights are related to whether the terminal is a first-packet terminal or a last-packet terminal.

[0054] The system architecture of the aforementioned terminal and network devices can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 1 . Figure 1 This application provides a schematic diagram of a communication system architecture, which includes network devices and terminal devices.

Figure 1 As shown, the network device sends a signal to the terminal device.
[0055] In addition, the technical terms and professional background that may be involved in the embodiments of this application will be introduced.
[0056] Fixed wireless access (FWA) provides wireless LAN or wired LAN access to end users through indoor or outdoor customer premises equipment (CPE). CPE can provide end users with a variety of services such as internet, landline telephone, television, and smart home.
[0057] FWA and Fiber Optic Wi-Fi (FWA) both address the "last mile" access problem to the network. The difference is that fiber optic connections are wired, while FWA connects wirelessly to a base station to access the network.
[0058] Since FWA (Fiber Optic Web Access) aims to become an alternative to fiber optics, wireless operators promise FWA users speeds exceeding a certain target threshold, such as 300Mbps. Users exceeding this threshold are considered satisfied with FWA; those below are considered dissatisfied. Given limited wireless resources, how to allocate resources to improve FWA user satisfaction is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved.
[0059] When multiple wireless FWA users exist simultaneously, they compete for limited air interface resources. Considering the random arrival of traffic and the uncertain transmission channel for each user, a complex combination of current experience rate, remaining data volume, and air interface channel quality emerges. Scheduling algorithms need to allocate transmission opportunities to users based on these combinations, thereby scheduling users. The goal of scheduling is to support as many users as possible in meeting their experience rate requirements.
[0060] User satisfaction samples can be understood as follows: Given a wireless FWA user's online time T seconds, the user's experience rate is counted once per second. If the experience rate R_u is greater than the target experience rate R_tar within that statistical unit of seconds, it is counted as a satisfactory sample. User satisfaction rate = number of satisfactory samples / total number of samples.
[0061] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a data processing method and related equipment that can enable data producers to complete the data registration process.
[0062] The following will provide a detailed explanation in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0063] Please see Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the data processing method provided in this application, which includes the following steps.
[0064] 201. Obtain the degree to which the historical data transmission rate of each of the multiple terminals satisfies the target data transmission rate when accessing the FWA service via a fixed wireless network.
[0065] The embodiments of this application can be applied to downlink scheduling: that is, the base station guarantees the deterministic experience rate (the user's experience rate within 1 second after removing the beginning and end) of data transmission for FWA users through downlink scheduling.
[0066] The target data transmission rate can be the transmission rate that the operator promises to the user.
[0067] In this embodiment, the historical data transmission rate of each of the multiple terminals accessing the Fixed Wireless Network Access (FWA) service is obtained to determine the degree to which it meets the target data transmission rate. The degree of satisfaction indicates whether the terminal has achieved the target data transmission rate, or to what extent it has not.
[0068] In one possible implementation, the degree of satisfaction is specifically defined as the difference between the amount of data transmitted by the terminal within a historical statistical time window and the amount of data transmitted when the target data transmission rate is achieved.
[0069] For example, the virtual queue construction module can quantitatively provide the virtual queue length based on the user's current experience rate to represent the amount of additional data that needs to be transmitted to reach the target experience rate. The virtual queue is constructed based on the target rate R_target, and the user's instantaneous satisfaction is measured based on the target experience rate and the current user experience rate. The virtual queue length is maintained as follows:
[0070] Calculate the Tth time frame of the current statistical time window i The virtual queue Q at each TTI moment i :
[0071]
[0072] Among them, Q i Characterizing from the initial time of the statistical time window to T i The amount of data to be transmitted within a given time; R tarTo ensure the target rate for FWA, R i From the initial time of the statistical time window to T i The average rate calculated over a given time interval, excluding the beginning and end points. Let T be the time from the initial moment of the statistical time window to the current moment. i The scheduling time included in the internal call statistics, T time per TTI Let μ be the duration in seconds corresponding to each TTI, and μ be the value of Numerology. The statistical period for the current rate satisfaction rate is 1 second. Q i The initial time of the statistical time window is 0.
[0073] 202. Determine the scheduling priority of each terminal based on the degree of satisfaction;
[0074] In this embodiment, the scheduling priority is determined based on the degree to which the actual data transmission rate of the terminal satisfies the target data transmission rate, and the FWA service is scheduled based on the scheduling priority. This allows the scheduling of FWA services to be adjusted according to the degree to which the terminal satisfies the target transmission rate, thereby improving the user satisfaction rate of FWA services.
[0075] In one possible implementation, the plurality of terminals includes a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the degree of satisfaction of the first terminal is a first degree of satisfaction, and the degree of satisfaction of the second terminal is a second degree of satisfaction.
[0076] In one possible implementation, the plurality of terminals includes a first terminal and a second terminal;
[0077] When the satisfaction level indicates that the historical data transmission rate of the first terminal is greater than or equal to the target data transmission rate, and the historical data transmission rate of the second terminal is less than the target data transmission rate, the scheduling priority of the second terminal is higher than that of the first terminal. In other words, for terminals that have already met the target transmission rate, their scheduling priority can be set to a lower value, thereby allocating more resources to terminals that have not yet met the target transmission rate.
[0078] In one possible implementation, the plurality of terminals includes a first terminal and a second terminal;
[0079] When the satisfaction level indicates that the historical data transmission rate of the first terminal is greater than the target data transmission rate by a preset percentage but less than the target data transmission rate, and the historical data transmission rate of the second terminal is less than the target data transmission rate by a preset percentage, the scheduling priority of the second terminal is lower than that of the first terminal. In other words, for terminals that have not yet met the target transmission rate, a higher historical transmission rate indicates a greater likelihood that they will meet the target transmission rate, thus increasing the priority of these terminals.
[0080] In one possible implementation, the first terminal can be determined to correspond to a first scheduling priority based on the first satisfaction level indicating that the historical data transmission rate of the first terminal is greater than the target data transmission rate by a preset percentage and is less than the target data transmission rate; the second terminal can be determined to correspond to a second scheduling priority based on the second satisfaction level indicating that the historical data transmission rate of the second terminal is less than the target data transmission rate by a preset percentage.
[0081] In one possible implementation, the first terminal can be determined to correspond to a first scheduling priority based on the first satisfaction level indicating that the historical data transmission rate of the first terminal is greater than or equal to the target data transmission rate; the second terminal can be determined to correspond to a second scheduling priority based on the first satisfaction level indicating that the historical data transmission rate of the second terminal is greater than the target data transmission rate by a preset percentage and less than the target data transmission rate; or, the second terminal can be determined to correspond to a second scheduling priority based on the second satisfaction level indicating that the historical data transmission rate of the second terminal is less than the target data transmission rate by a preset percentage.
[0082] For example, refer to Figure 3 It can be based on the maintained virtual queue length Q i Users are categorized into three tiers:
[0083] Specifically, users can be divided into those who already meet FWA requirements, those who are expected to meet FWA requirements in the future, and those who are expected to not meet FWA requirements in the future.
[0084] If Q i <=0 indicates that the user has met the FWA requirement;
[0085] If Q i >0 and R i ≥β*R tar This indicates that it is expected to satisfy FWA users in the future;
[0086] If Q i >0 and R i <β*R tarThis indicates that FWA users are not expected to be satisfied in the future.
[0087] Where β is the entry threshold ratio, which is optional, and a typical value is set to 30%. The specific tiers for these three user categories are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0088] This application embodiment addresses FWA users with deterministic throughput requirements by constructing a satisfaction evaluation process based on target throughput. Based on this process, FWA users are categorized into three levels, and priority calculations are performed for FWA users in different levels. This enables precise on-demand allocation of wireless resources to FWA users based on target throughput, thereby maximizing FWA user satisfaction.
[0089] 203. Based on the scheduling priority, schedule the FWA service for the multiple terminals.
[0090] In one possible implementation, the plurality of terminals includes a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the satisfaction level of the first terminal is a first satisfaction level, and the satisfaction level of the second terminal is a second satisfaction level; based on the first satisfaction level and the second satisfaction level, the first terminal corresponds to a first scheduling priority, and the second terminal corresponds to a second scheduling priority; the first scheduling priority is higher than the second scheduling priority; a priority value of the first terminal is calculated according to a first calculation method corresponding to the first scheduling priority; a priority value of the second terminal is calculated according to a second calculation method corresponding to the second scheduling priority; the first calculation method and the second calculation method are different; the priority values of the first terminal and the second terminal are used to determine the priority order of the first terminal and the second terminal; and the FWA service is scheduled for the first terminal and the second terminal according to the priority order.
[0091] In one possible implementation, the first calculation method is as follows:
[0092] A priority value for a terminal is determined based on at least two of the terminal's satisfaction level, spectral efficiency, and preset weights; the priority value is positively correlated with the satisfaction level, the spectral efficiency, and the preset weights; the preset weights are related to whether the terminal is a first-packet terminal or a last-packet terminal.
[0093] In one possible implementation, the second calculation method is as follows:
[0094] The priority value of the terminal is determined based on the terminal's spectral efficiency and historical data transmission rate; the priority value is positively correlated with the spectral efficiency and negatively correlated with the historical data transmission rate.
[0095] In one possible implementation, the second calculation method is as follows:
[0096] The priority value of the terminal is determined based on the degree of satisfaction and the spectral efficiency; the priority value is positively correlated with the degree of satisfaction and negatively correlated with the spectral efficiency.
[0097] Reference Figure 4 Based on the user's three-tier tier system, the priority of different tiers is calculated in different ways:
[0098] For high-priority users, that is, FWA users whose needs are not currently met but are expected to be met in the future, the priority value can be calculated as follows:
[0099] Priority = Q i *SE*W t ;
[0100] Among them W t It is the weighting factor for the first and last packets, and the specific calculation is as follows:
[0101]
[0102] For users in the middle priority range, namely FWA users and eMBB users whose needs are currently unmet and are not expected to be met in the future, the priority value can be calculated as follows:
[0103]
[0104] For users with low priority, i.e., those whose FWA protection has already been met, the priority value can be calculated as follows:
[0105]
[0106] The embodiments of this application can be used for downlink scheduling: that is, the base station guarantees the deterministic experience rate (the user's experience rate within 1 second after removing the beginning and end) of data transmission for FWA users through downlink scheduling. Figure 5 The signaling flow of this invention in downlink scheduling is given. Under this mechanism, the base station and the user interact according to the following flow:
[0107] User i feeds back channel information, channel state information, i.e., spectral efficiency (SE). i ;
[0108] The base station uses the user-feedback channel information (SE) i From the initial moment of the statistical time window to T i The average rate R between time points (excluding the beginning and end) i From the initial moment of the statistical time window to the current moment T i Internal call scheduling time Calculate the length Q of the virtual queue. i :
[0109] Based on the virtual queue length Q i and the current average rate R i Divide user i into three levels. If Q i If Q <= 0, then the FWA user gear has been satisfied; if Q i >0 and R i ≥β*R tar This represents the expected future demand for FWA users; if Q i >0 and R i <β*R tar This indicates that the expected future demand for FWA users is not being met.
[0110] Based on the user's three-tier classification results, the priority is calculated in a corresponding manner according to different tiers.
[0111] The embodiments of this application simulate scenarios in the wireless Airview simulation platform for users with FWA deterministic throughput guarantee services, such as... Figure 6 As shown, compared to the GBR algorithm, eMBB improves FWA user satisfaction by an average of 22% without compromising user experience. Furthermore, the variance of the FWA user experience rate in this embodiment is smaller, allowing for more precise on-demand allocation. Specific simulation results are as follows... Figure 7 As shown.
[0112] The embodiments of this application include, for example: Figure 8 The main modules shown are defined as follows, and the main relationships between them are as follows:
[0113] The system comprises: 1) User data collection module; 2) Virtual queue construction module; 3) User classification module; 4) First and last packet weighted calculation module; 5) Priority calculation module; and 6) Base station scheduling module according to priority order.

[0115] User segmentation module: Based on the user's virtual queue length and current experience rate, the module obtains the user's expected satisfaction level and divides users into three categories: users who have already satisfied FWA; users whose expected future FWA satisfaction is possible; and users whose expected future FWA satisfaction is impossible.
