Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples are not representative of all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus consistent with some aspects of the disclosure as detailed in the accompanying claims.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a cell camping method, applied to a UE, including:

s110: determining whether an access network of the UE is a preset network;

s120: selecting a target strategy from a plurality of alternative strategies controlled by the antenna state according to whether the access network is a preset network or not;

s130: and controlling the state of the antenna in the UE according to the target strategy.

The UE may be various types of UEs, such as a cell phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a smart home device, or a smart office device, etc.

The UE may also be an enhanced mobile broadband (Enhanced Mobile Broadband, eMBB) UE or an internet of things (Internet of Things, ioT) UE, for example.

The predetermined network may be one of mobile networks for cellular mobile communications. By way of example, the preset network may include, but is not limited to, a ribbon network disposed in a ribbon shape, typically disposed along a line of a traffic line, to satisfy mobile network access of UEs on the vehicle. Also by way of example, the predetermined network may be a wireless network having a communication performance fluctuation coefficient greater than a fluctuation threshold.

The UE may be caused to move rapidly relative to a stationary deployed base station or cell due to the traffic performance of the vehicle itself.

There are different alternative strategies for different access networks. Therefore, according to whether the UE is accessed to the preset network or not, the corresponding relation between the alternative strategy and the access network is combined, so that the target strategy which is suitable for controlling the antenna state of the network accessed by the UE at present can be selected.

The UE is currently accessed to a preset network or a non-preset network to select a strategy for controlling the antenna state in the UE. The antenna states may include: an on state and an off state.

The antenna in the on state may transmit wireless signals and receive wireless signals.

The antenna in the off state does not transmit nor receive wireless signals.

The S130 may include:

and controlling the number of the antennas in the UE in the on state according to a target strategy.

The states of the antennas in the UE are controlled according to the target strategy, so that when the UE is accessed to a preset network and is accessed to a non-preset network, the antennas with proper numbers can be controlled to be in an on state, on one hand, the power consumption of the UE caused by excessive antennas in the on state is reduced, and the standby time of the UE is prolonged; on the other hand, a phenomenon of poor communication quality due to too few antennas in an on state is suppressed.

In some embodiments, the S120 may include:

s121: when the access network is not the preset network, determining the target policy as a first policy, wherein the first policy is a policy for controlling an antenna state according to communication resources allocated by network equipment to UE;

s122: and when the access network is the preset network, determining the target policy as a second policy, wherein the second policy is a policy for controlling the state of an antenna according to the network state of the preset network.

If the current access network of the UE is not the preset network, a first policy may be adopted, where the first policy may be a policy for controlling antennas according to communication resources allocated by the network device to the UE. Illustratively, the first policy may be: and controlling the number of antennas in an on state according to the number of communication resources allocated to the UE by the network equipment. For example, the number of antennas in the on state is positively correlated with the number of communication resources.

The first policy may be a default state of antenna state control within the UE.

And when the UE accesses to the preset network, adopting a second strategy, wherein the second strategy is different from the first strategy. The second policy is a policy for controlling antenna data in an on state according to a network state of a preset network, for example.

For example, the fluctuation of the network state of the preset network is more stable than the network state of the non-preset network, so that the antenna state of the UE can be controlled directly according to the amount of communication resources allocated by the network device to the UE, while the fluctuation of the network state of the preset network is more large, and the antenna state of the UE can be controlled according to the network state, so that the number of antennas in the on state in the UE is adapted to the network state of the preset network.

In some embodiments, the S130 may include:

There are a plurality of indicators reflecting the network status of the preset network, and several optional parameters are provided below:

signal strength, e.g., UE detects a cell signal transmitted by a cell of a predetermined network, resulting in a reference signal received power (Reference Signal Receiving Power, RSRP) and/or a reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Received Quality, RSRQ);

signal-to-noise ratio;

transmission delay, for example, the UE determines the transmission delay by testing the transmission of the data packet;

packet loss rate, for example, the UE may determine the packet loss rate by testing transmission of the data packet and determining a transmission result;

throughput. For example, the UE may predict, according to the communication resources allocated by the network device to the UE, the throughput of the preset network. In general, if the communication resources of the current cell of the preset network are sufficient, the number of communication resources allocated to the UE is large, and the current available throughput of the preset network is large, otherwise, the smaller. The communication resources include, but are not limited to: uplink communication resources and/or downlink communication resources.

When the antenna state is controlled according to the network state of the preset network, the number of the antennas in the UE which are finally in the on state can be controlled according to one or more performance indexes of the network state reflected by the signal strength, the signal to noise ratio, the transmission delay, the packet loss rate and the throughput.

In some embodiments, the S130 may include:

In some embodiments, the communication performance of the preset network when the network state of the first condition is satisfied is stronger than the communication performance of the network state preset network that does not satisfy the first condition. The communication performance of the preset network when the network state of the second condition is satisfied is stronger than the communication performance of the network state preset network which does not satisfy the second condition. The communication performance of the preset network when the network state does not satisfy the first condition and satisfies the second condition is weaker than the communication performance of the preset network when the network state satisfies the first condition.

At this time, if the network state of the preset network is relatively good, the number of antennas in the on state in the UE may be determined directly according to the number of communication resources allocated by the network device to the UE. Including but not limited to access network devices. The access network device may at least comprise: and (5) a base station.

The service of the UE is as follows: current traffic of the UE. The network bandwidth required by different services and/or the maximum delay of the allowed network are different, so that if the network state of the preset network does not meet the first condition and meets the second condition, the network state of the preset network is medium at the moment, then the states of the antennas in the UE are controlled according to the services of the UE, the number of antennas in the opening state required by different services can be met, the power consumption of the UE can be reduced relative to the number of all the antennas in the UE in the opening state, and when the number of the required antennas in the UE is large, the phenomenon that the service quality (Quality of Service, qoS) of the service cannot be met due to the fact that the number of the antennas in the opening state in the UE is too small can be reduced.

When the network state of the preset network does not meet the second condition, directly controlling a plurality of antennas of the UE to enter an on state, for example, at least controlling at least two antennas of the UE to enter the on state, so that the UE has enough antennas in a usable state to ensure the stability and anti-interference performance of wireless signal receiving and transmitting. For example, if the UE has M antennas, the M antennas of the UE may be directly controlled to be in an on state. If M is equal to 4, the 4 antennas of the UE can be controlled to all enter an on state, so that the UE can conveniently receive and transmit wireless signals by using the 4 antennas.

The UE device status includes, but is not limited to, at least one of: the remaining power of the UE and/or the battery temperature of the UE, the load factor of a Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the UE, the UE antenna performance status, etc.

If the UE device status is in a high power consumption state caused by multi-antenna on, an abnormality may occur soon, for example, the UE temperature is too hot or enters a low-power or no-power state, and may suspend entering a multi-antenna on state where multiple antennas are turned on, so as to protect the UE.

In some embodiments, the controlling the state of the antenna within the UE according to the current traffic of the UE and/or the UE device state includes:

controlling the number of antennas in the UE which enter an on state according to at least one of the service type of the current service, the duration of the current service, the transmission frequency of a service frame and the predicted traffic of the service;

and/or the number of the groups of groups,

and controlling the number of antennas of the UE in an on state according to the residual electric quantity and/or the battery temperature of the UE.

The traffic types may include: long Term Evolution Voice over-Term Evolution (VoLTE) Voice call traffic and non-VoLTE Voice call traffic. In general, when the current service of the UE is a VoLTE service, the number of antennas in the on state in the UE is smaller than the number of antennas in the on state when the current service of the UE is a non-VoLTE service.

The duration of the service may be predicted based on historical data of the UE processing the service. For example, the traffic data of the UE usage traffic is predicted using a personal intelligence (Artificial Intelligence, AI) model, which outputs a predicted duration. The AI model may be a neural network model trained in advance using sample data. If the duration of the service is longer, the network state fluctuation of the preset network can interfere with the high-quality transmission of the service, so that the opening of more antennas in the UE can be controlled, otherwise, the number of antennas in the opening state in the UE can be properly reduced.

The transmission frequency of the service frame is related to the update rate of the current service of the UE, for example, if the UE is frequently switching the UI displayed, the UE frequently transmits the service frame and/or frequently receives the service frame from the network. If the service frame of the UE is transmitted frequently, it indicates that the UE needs more antennas to transmit and receive wireless signals, so that more antennas in the UE can be controlled to be in an on state, and if not, the number of antennas in the on state can be reduced appropriately.

For example, the UE opens an online gaming application and there is some statistics of the network traffic that is generated from start to end of a game. At this time, the predicted flow rate may be determined based on the statistical result.

In some embodiments, the UE may determine the number of antennas that need to be turned on to complete the current service of the UE according to any one, two or more of the service type, the duration of the service, the transmission frequency of the service frame, and the predicted traffic of the service.

In some embodiments, the remaining power of the UE is relatively low, and if multiple antennas are turned on for a long period of time, the power of the UE may be exhausted. For another example, the battery temperature of the UE is high, for example, the battery temperature is higher than the temperature threshold, and if the battery continues to be powered with high power, the battery temperature is further raised, so as to accelerate the aging of the battery.

And controlling the number of antennas of the UE in an on state according to the residual electric quantity and/or the battery temperature of the UE, wherein the number of antennas comprises at least one of the following:

when the residual electric quantity of the UE is lower than a low electric quantity threshold value, controlling the UE to enter an energy-saving mode, wherein in the energy-saving mode, the number of antennas in an on state in the UE is 1 or 2 and other minority values;

when the battery temperature of the UE is higher than a high-temperature threshold value, controlling the UE to enter an energy-saving mode, wherein in the energy-saving mode, the number of antennas in an on state in the UE is 1 or 2 and other minority values;

and when the residual electric quantity of the UE is not lower than a low electric quantity threshold value and the battery temperature is not higher than the high temperature threshold value, controlling the number of antennas in an on state in the UE according to the current service.

The high temperature threshold and the low power threshold may be preset statistics or test values.

For example, the low battery threshold may be 20%, 15%, or 10%. The high temperature threshold may be a value of 45 degrees celsius or 50 degrees celsius, etc.

In some embodiments, the controlling the number of antennas in the UE to enter the on state according to at least one of the service type, the duration, the transmission frequency of the service frame, and the predicted traffic of the service includes at least one of:

The voice service may be the VoLTE voice service described above. Since the VoLTE service is a voice call between two UEs, it is necessary to maintain the persistence and high quality of the voice call, so that more antennas in the UEs can be controlled to be in an on state, thereby ensuring the communication quality. For example, the first number may be equal to a total number of antennas included within the UE. For example, when one UE contains 4 antennas, the first number may be equal to 4; if one UE contains 8 antennas, the first number may be equal to 8.

If the current service of the UE is not VoLTE voice service, the delay sensitivity of the current service of the UE is weaker than that of the VoLTE voice service. At this time, the number of antennas in the UE where the antennas are in an on state will be further controlled according to one or more of the duration of the current service, the transceiving frequency of the service frame, and the predicted traffic.

If the current service of the UE is not the VoLTE voice service, and the duration is long and short, the transmission frequency of the service frame is low, and the predicted traffic is also smaller, it is indicated that the current service of the UE is an sporadic service with a shorter duration, for example, the sending and receiving of instant communication messages such as a few WeChat of the UE, etc., and the UE can be controlled to open fewer antennas. In this case, the number of antennas in the UE in the on state may be 1 or 2, or the like. The predicted flow rate here is relatively small and can be determined by comparison with a first flow rate threshold.

The second number is smaller than the first number, i.e. the second number is smaller than the total number of antennas comprised in the UE.

If the current service of the UE is not VoLTE voice service, and the duration is long, the transmission frequency of the service is low, but the predicted traffic is relatively large, the number of antennas in the UE in an on state can be further controlled according to the preset network pair network performance. The predicted flow rate herein may be a flow rate between a first flow rate threshold and a second flow rate threshold.

If the current service of the UE is not VoLTE voice service, and the duration is long, the transmission frequency of the service is low, but the predicted traffic is large, the first number of antennas in the UE is directly controlled to be in an on state.

Further, the controlling the number of antennas in the UE entering the on state according to the network state of the preset network includes:

In the embodiment of the disclosure, a first evaluation threshold is converted preferentially according to the transmission delay and the packet loss rate, then a scoring value of a preset network is obtained further according to the signal strength and/or the signal to noise ratio of the preset network, and then the scoring value is compared with the first evaluation threshold, so that the number of antennas in the UE entering an on state is controlled.

Carrying out weighted summation or weighted average on the transmission delay and the packet loss rate to obtain a numerical value which can be directly used as the first evaluation threshold; or alternatively. And mapping the transmission delay and the packet loss rate into different calculation parameters, and obtaining a sum or average value of the calculation parameters, wherein the sum or average value can be used as the first evaluation threshold.

Illustratively, the scoring value is higher than a first evaluation threshold, and controlling the number 1 of antennas in the UE to enter an on state; and controlling the number 2 of antennas in the UE to enter an on state when the grading value is not higher than the first evaluation threshold. Quantity 2 is greater than said quantity 1.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, at least two of the communication new energy indexes of the preset networks are synthesized in terms of transmission delay, packet loss rate, signal strength and signal to noise ratio, and the number of antennas in the UE in an on state is controlled so that the number of antennas in the UE in the on state is matched with the energy conservation and the communication requirements of the UE.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises at least one of:

The second evaluation threshold and the third evaluation threshold may be preset values. For example, the second evaluation threshold and the third evaluation threshold may be statistical values according to big data, or may be test values obtained based on test data in a test environment.

In one embodiment, the controlling the state of the antenna in the UE according to the communication resource allocated by the network device to the UE includes:

wherein the fourth number is greater than the third number.

The network device may be any device on the network side, including, but not limited to, illustratively, a base station.

The network resources include, but are not limited to: the network side allocates time-frequency domain resources for the UE.

For example, the network resources include, but are not limited to: uplink resources and/or downlink resources.

In some embodiments, the fourth number may be equal to the first number; the second number may be equal to the third number. Of course the fourth number may also be different from the first number; the second number may not be equal to the third number.

At a time point, if the network equipment allocates more frequency domain resources for the UE, more antennas in an on state may be needed to transmit and receive wireless signals, if the network equipment allocates less frequency domain resources for the UE, fewer antennas of the UE may complete the transmission and reception of wireless signals on the corresponding frequency domain resources, and fewer antennas of the UE may be controlled to enter the on state, so as to save power consumption of the UE.

In some embodiments, the preset network comprises one of:

a mobile network laid along the railway;

The railway includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: high-speed rail, extra-fast rail and ground rail; urban railway line; and (5) carrying out a line.

The highway includes, but is not limited to, one of the following: expressways and/or highways. Fig. 3 shows a high-speed rail network along the high-speed rail.

The preset network may be any network with relatively large fluctuation of network state or poor average signal quality, and the specific implementation is not limited to the above examples. Both fluctuations in the network state and differences in average signal quality can be determined by comparison with corresponding thresholds.

For example, in a high-speed rail scenario, the high-speed rail network fluctuates very frequently, the average signal is relatively poor, the signal interference is relatively large, and relatively stronger antenna receiving and anti-interference capabilities are required.

In such a scenario, the current default solution may cause additional power consumption of the UE when the traffic is not large enough to turn on the configuration 4 antenna, so that the UE may be controlled to turn on the 2 antenna, but the 2 antenna is inferior to the 4 antenna in terms of stability and interference immunity of signal reception. These are just short slabs of high-speed scenes where reinforcement is needed.

Referring to fig. 4, the antenna state control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include:

the UE continuously monitors the parameters of the current resident network and various sensor parameters and judges whether the current resident network is a high-speed rail network or not;

Judging whether the access network of the current UE is a high-speed rail network or not; only if the network is judged to be in the high-speed rail network, starting subsequent judgment and optimization;

assessing network status in real time, the assessing network status including: detecting transmission delay, packet loss rate, uplink and downlink download rate, signal strength and/or signal to noise ratio; based on these parameter values detected, an evaluation result is determined. Different weights are set for different parameter values, for example, high weight parameter values include, but are not limited to: transmission delay, packet loss rate, upload download rate, etc., low weight parameter values include, but are not limited to: signal strength and/or signal to noise ratio, etc.
