Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for calculating a coverage status of a mobile network.

Background

A mobile communication network consists of a set of base stations deployed in a given area, which are equipped with antennas that can transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals. The antennas usually have a certain directivity, and different antennas cover different areas respectively. The coverage area of the antenna constitutes a sector. In the mobile communication network planning and optimization process, for any given geographic position, or called a sampling point and a grid point, the signal quality at the geographic position needs to be calculated. There are various indicators for evaluating signal quality, of which the maximum received signal strength RSRP and the signal to interference plus noise ratio SINR are one of the most important indicators. In the downlink direction, i.e. the direction from the base station to the terminal, the signal to interference and noise ratio SINR generally refers to the ratio of the maximum received signal strength to the interference plus noise, i.e. the maximum received signal strength/(noise + interference). Where noise is caused by the environment and the electronic device itself and interference is caused by signals transmitted by other antennas.

In order to calculate the RSRP and SINR of a single grid, it is necessary to calculate the received signal strength of signals transmitted from all base station antennas within a certain range around the grid to the grid, obtain the maximum received signal strength as the primary signal strength RSRP, and add the rest of the received signals as interference to further calculate the SINR. Calculating the signal strength requires considering a series of factors such as transmission power, path loss, antenna gain, etc. Therefore, the above calculation process is usually very time consuming, and may last from minutes to hours depending on the size of the coverage area and the size of the number of base stations.

If the working parameters of a certain base station antenna are changed, such as the azimuth angle of the antenna, the calculation process of RSRP and SINR of all grids needs to be performed again, at least, all grid points adjacent to the base station antenna, and thus the efficiency is low.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for calculating a coverage status of a mobile network according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

step S01, acquiring a related grid set corresponding to the sector to be adjusted with the changed parameters, wherein the distance between each grid in the related grid set and the sector to be adjusted is smaller than a preset interval threshold.

Dividing a predetermined area into a plurality of grids g_jAnd setting the grid points corresponding to each grid as the geographical position of each grid, wherein the distance between the grid points corresponding to each grid can be set according to the actual requirement, and is usually several meters, for example, 5m or 20 m.

Then according to the preset signal intensity threshold value T_rsrpSum signal to interference plus noise ratio threshold T_sinrThe network coverage status of each grid is determined. If the grid g_jMaximum received signal strength RSRP_jSum signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR)_jAll reach or exceed the preset signal strength threshold value T_rsrpSum signal to interference plus noise ratio threshold T_sinrI.e. RSRP_j≥T_rsrpAnd SINR_j≥T_sinrThen, the g is determined_jThe network coverage state is successful coverage, otherwise, the network coverage state is unsuccessful coverage.

According to the influence procedure of the sector on each grid, namely the received signal strength, the grid with higher influence degree is taken as the sector s_iThereby obtaining an associated grid set GS of each sector_i。

For simplicity, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that all base station antennas are omni-directional, regardless of the directional condition of the base station antennas and the grids, i.e., the signal radiation intensities of the base station antennas in different directions are the same. Therefore, when acquiring the associated grid set of the sector, taking only the distance between the sector and each grid as a judgment condition, and according to a preset interval threshold, if the distance between the sector and the grid is smaller than the preset interval threshold, taking the grid as the associated grid of the sector, and recording the grid into the associated grid set of the sector; otherwise, no recording is performed.

If the sector s is adjusted according to the actual need_kWill then be the sector s_kAs a sector to be adjusted, and obtaining the sameAssociated grid set of sectors GS_k。

Step S02, judging the sector to be adjusted to be a first type sector or a second type sector of each grid; wherein the theoretical maximum received signal strength of the first type sector in the grid exceeds a preset classification strength threshold.

According to the obtained received signal strength of sectors received by each grid, each sector can be divided into a first type sector and a second type sector for each grid, and the distance between each first type sector and the grid and the distance between each second type sector and the grid are smaller than a preset interval threshold. And the received signal strength of the first type sector is relatively greater than that of the second type sector. The specific distinguishing method can calculate the theoretical quantity of the large received signal intensity of each sector in the grid, and if the theoretical maximum received signal intensity is greater than a preset classification intensity threshold value, the sector is judged to be the first type sector; and if the theoretical maximum received signal strength is not greater than a preset classification strength threshold value, determining that the sector is the second type.

Further, the step S02 specifically includes:

s021, acquiring a first type sector set and a second type sector set corresponding to each grid;

step S022, if the sector to be adjusted exists in a first sector set of the grid, determining that the sector to be adjusted is the first sector of the grid;

step S023, if the sector to be adjusted exists in the second type sector set of the grid, determining that the sector to be adjusted is the second type sector of the grid.

After the geographical position of each grid and the working parameters of each sector are obtained, the distance between each grid and each sector and the received signal strength of each grid to each sector can be calculated in advance, so that the corresponding relation between each grid and each sector is obtained. Can obtain each grid g_jCorresponding first type sector set N1_jAnd a second type sector set N2_jAnd each sector s_iCorresponding associated grid set GS_i。

Thus in sector s_kWhen the parameter of (2) is changed, the slave sector s_kIs associated with the grid set GS_kSequentially extracting the associated grids g_jAnd according to the correlation grid g_jN1 of a first type_jAnd a second type sector set N2_jIf said sector s_kLocated in the first type sector set N1_jIf so, determining the sector s_kFor the associated grid g_jA first type sector of (a); if the sector s_kSet of sectors in the second class N2_jIf so, determining the sector s_kFor the associated grid g_jThe second type sector of (1).

Step S031, if the sector is the first sector of the grid, update the maximum received information strength RSRP and the signal to interference plus noise ratio SINR of the grid, and determine the network coverage status of the grid according to a preset signal strength threshold and a preset signal to interference plus noise ratio threshold.

If the sector to be adjusted is determined as the current grid g_jThe first sector of (2), then the current grid g needs to be re-checked_jN1 of a first type_jThe received signal strength of each first type sector in the network, and then the current grid g is updated_jMaximum received signal strength RSRP_jAnd signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR)_jAnd again according to the preset signal intensity threshold value T_rsrpSum signal to interference plus noise ratio threshold T_sinrJudging the current grid g_jNetwork coverage status.

Step S032, if the sector is the second-type sector of the grid, updating the SINR of the grid, and determining the network coverage state of the grid according to the original maximum received signal strength RSRP of the grid, the preset signal strength threshold and the preset SINR.

And if the sector to be adjusted is determined as the current grid g_jThe second type sector only needs to update the received signal strength of the sector to be adjusted and update the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of the current grid_j. Thereby obtaining the RSRP according to the original maximum received signal strength of the current grid_jAnd a predetermined signal strength threshold T_rsrpSum signal to interference plus noise ratio threshold T_sinrJudging the current grid g_jNetwork coverage status.

Until the associated grid set GS is completed_kSee the update of the network coverage status of all grids.

The embodiment of the invention obtains the corresponding relation between each grid and each sector in advance, obtains the first type sector set and the second type sector set of each grid and the associated grid set of each sector, and updates the network coverage state of the corresponding associated grid according to the classification of the sectors when the parameters of the sectors are changed, thereby greatly reducing the judgment speed of the network coverage state when the parameters of the sectors are changed and improving the updating efficiency.

Based on the above embodiment, further, the step S021 specifically includes:

and S0211, screening out sectors to be classified corresponding to the base station antenna with the distance to the grid smaller than the preset interval threshold.

The corresponding relation between each grid and the sector is predetermined. For each grid g_jFirstly, according to a preset interval threshold value, a grid g is obtained by screening from the sector set S_jThe sectors with the distance smaller than the interval threshold value are taken as the sectors to be classified.

And S0212, respectively calculating the theoretical maximum received signal strength and the theoretical minimum received signal strength of each sector to be classified according to the theoretical maximum antenna gain and the theoretical minimum antenna gain of each sector to be classified.

According to the preset theoretical maximum antenna Gain of the base station antenna_maxAnd theoretical minimum antenna Gain_minCalculating the grid g_jSector s to be classified_iTheoretical maximum received signal strength of And theoretical minimum received signal strength

And S0213, if the theoretical maximum received signal strength is greater than or equal to the preset classification strength threshold, judging that the corresponding sector to be classified is a first-class sector and recording the first-class sector into the first-class sector set of the grid.

And S0214, if the theoretical maximum received signal strength is greater than the preset classification strength threshold value, judging that the corresponding sector to be classified is a second-class sector and recording the second-class sector into a second-class sector set of the grid.

Comparing the theoretical maximum received signal strength of each sector to be classified according to a preset classification strength threshold, if the theoretical maximum received signal strength is greater than or equal to the preset classification strength threshold, the sector to be classified is a first-class sector, and recording the first-class sector to the grid g_jN1 of a first type_jPerforming the following steps; if the theoretical maximum received signal strength is less than the preset classification strength threshold value, the sector to be classified is a second-class sector and the grid g is recorded_jN2 of the second type_jIn (1).

Further, the preset classification strength threshold is a maximum value of a theoretical minimum received signal strength of each sector to be classified.

RSRP_j≥T_rsrpAnd SINR_j≥T_sinrThen, the g is determined_jThe network coverage state is successful coverage, otherwise, the network coverage state is unsuccessful coverage.

According to the influence procedure of the sector on each grid, namely the received signal strength, the grid with higher influence degree is taken as the sector s_iThereby obtaining an association grid ofAssociated grid set GS of sectors_i。

For simplicity, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that all base station antennas are omni-directional, regardless of the directional condition of the base station antennas and the grids, i.e., the signal radiation intensities of the base station antennas in different directions are the same. Therefore, when acquiring the associated grid set of the sector, taking only the distance between the sector and each grid as a judgment condition, and according to a preset interval threshold, if the distance between the sector and the grid is smaller than the preset interval threshold, taking the grid as the associated grid of the sector, and recording the grid into the associated grid set of the sector; otherwise, no recording is performed.

If the sector s is adjusted according to the actual need_kThe information obtaining unit 10 will then select the sector s_kAs a sector to be adjusted, and obtaining an associated grid set GS of said sector_k。

The sector classification unit 11 may, according to the obtained received signal strength of the sectors received by each grid, classify each sector into a first type sector and a second type sector for each grid, where distances between the first type sector and the grid and the second type sector are smaller than a preset interval threshold. And the received signal strength of the first type sector is relatively greater than that of the second type sector. The specific distinguishing method can calculate the theoretical quantity of the large received signal intensity of each sector in the grid, and if the theoretical maximum received signal intensity is greater than a preset classification intensity threshold value, the sector is judged to be the first type sector; and if the theoretical maximum received signal strength is not greater than a preset classification strength threshold value, determining that the sector is the second type.

Further, the sector classification unit 11 specifically includes:

the classification preprocessing unit is used for acquiring a first type sector set and a second type sector set corresponding to each grid; a classification judgment unit, configured to judge that the sector to be adjusted is the first-class sector of the grid if the sector to be adjusted exists in the first-class sector set of the grid; the classification judgment unit is further configured to judge that the sector to be adjusted is the second-class sector of the grid if the sector to be adjusted exists in the second-class sector set of the grid. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

after the geographical position of each grid and the working parameters of each sector are obtained, the distance between each grid and each sector and the received signal strength of each grid to each sector can be calculated in advance, so that the corresponding relation between each grid and each sector is obtained. The classification preprocessing unit can acquire each grid g_jCorresponding first type sector set N1_jAnd a second type sector set N2_jAnd each sector s_iCorresponding associated grid set GS_i。

Thus in sector s_kWhen the parameter(s) is changed, the classification judgment unit judges the sector s_kIs associated with the grid set GS_kSequentially extracting the associated grids g_jAnd according to the correlation grid g_jN1 of a first type_jAnd a second type sector set N2_jIf said sector s_kLocated in the first type sector set N1_jIf yes, the classification judgment unit judges the sector s_kFor the associated grid g_jA first type sector of (a); if the sector s_kSet of sectors in the second class N2_jIf yes, the classification judgment unit judges the sector s_kFor the associated grid g_jThe second type sector of (1).

If the sector to be adjusted is judged as the current grid g by the sector classification unit 11_jThe state updating unit 12 needs to re-check the current grid g_jN1 of a first type_jThe received signal strength of each first type sector in the network, and then the current grid g is updated_jMaximum received signal strength RSRP_jAnd signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR)_jAnd again according to the preset signal intensity threshold value T_rsrpSum signal to interference plus noise ratio threshold T_sinrJudging the current grid g_jNetwork coverage status.

If the sector to be adjusted is determined as the current grid g by the sector classification unit 11_jThe state updating unit 12 only needs to update the received signal strength of the sector to be adjustedDegree and updating the SINR of the current grid_j. Thereby obtaining the RSRP according to the original maximum received signal strength of the current grid_jAnd a predetermined signal strength threshold T_rsrpSum signal to interference plus noise ratio threshold T_sinrJudging the current grid g_jNetwork coverage status.

Until the state updating unit 12 finishes updating the associated grid set GS_kSee the update of the network coverage status of all grids.

The embodiment of the invention obtains the corresponding relation between each grid and each sector in advance, obtains the first type sector set and the second type sector set of each grid and the associated grid set of each sector, and updates the network coverage state of the corresponding associated grid according to the classification of the sectors when the parameters of the sectors are changed, thereby greatly reducing the judgment speed of the network coverage state when the parameters of the sectors are changed and improving the updating efficiency.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, further, the classification preprocessing unit is specifically configured to:

screening out sectors to be classified corresponding to the base station antennas with the grid distance smaller than the preset interval threshold; respectively calculating the theoretical maximum received signal strength and the theoretical minimum received signal strength of each sector to be classified according to the theoretical maximum antenna gain and the theoretical minimum antenna gain of each sector to be classified; if the theoretical maximum received signal strength is greater than or equal to the preset classification strength threshold value, judging that the corresponding sector to be classified is a first-class sector and recording the first-class sector into a first-class sector set of the grid; and if the theoretical maximum received signal strength is greater than the preset classification strength threshold, judging that the corresponding sector to be classified is a second-class sector and recording the second-class sector into a second-class sector set of the grid.

The classification preprocessing unit determines the corresponding relation between each grid and the sector in advance. For each grid g_jFirstly, according to a preset interval threshold value,screening from sector set S to obtain grid g_jThe sectors with the distance smaller than the interval threshold value are taken as the sectors to be classified.

According to the preset theoretical maximum antenna Gain of the base station antenna_maxAnd theoretical minimum antenna Gain_minCalculating the grid g_jSector s to be classified_iTheoretical maximum received signal strength ofGain_max-PL_i,jAnd theoretical minimum received signal strength

The classification preprocessing unit compares the theoretical maximum received signal strength of each sector to be classified according to a preset classification strength threshold, if the theoretical maximum received signal strength is greater than or equal to the preset classification strength threshold, the sector to be classified is a first-class sector, and the grid g is recorded_jN1 of a first type_jPerforming the following steps; if the theoretical maximum received signal strength is less than the preset classification strength threshold value, the sector to be classified is a second-class sector and the grid g is recorded_jN2 of the second type_jIn (1).

Further, the preset classification strength threshold is a maximum value of a theoretical minimum received signal strength of each sector to be classified.

The classification strength thresholdThe method can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the invention only gives an illustration of one of the methods. The classification preprocessing unit calculates and obtains the theoretical minimum received signal strength of each sector to be classifiedThen, taking the maximum value of the theoretical minimum received signal strength as the classification strength threshold value
