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 do not represent all implementations consistent with the invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with aspects of the invention as detailed in the accompanying claims.

FIG. 1A is a flow chart of a drive test method according to an example embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a scene graph of a drive test method according to an example embodiment; the drive test method can be applied to user equipment, as shown in fig. 1A, and comprises the following steps 101-102:

in step 101, the signal quality of the mobile network is determined.

In an embodiment, the ue may determine the signal quality of the mobile network through reference signal received Power (REFERENCE SIGNAL RECEIVING Power, abbreviated as RSRP) of the mobile network, for example, the reference signal received Power of the mobile network is greater than 1mW, which may indicate that the signal quality of the mobile network is better.

In an embodiment, the ue may determine the signal quality of the mobile network according to the reference signal received quality (ReferenceSignalReceivingQuality, abbreviated as RSRQ) of the mobile network, for example, the reference signal received quality of the mobile network is greater than-90 dBm, which may indicate that the signal quality of the mobile network is better.

In an embodiment, the ue may periodically detect the signal quality of the mobile network according to a set period, or may non-periodically detect the signal quality of the mobile network.

In step 102, the minimization of drive tests event for the Bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device is turned on or off based on the signal quality of the mobile network.

In an embodiment, since the ue may not need to turn on other network systems when the signal quality of the mobile network is better, in order to reduce the power consumption, the mdt event for the bluetooth device and the wlan device may be turned off when the signal quality of the mobile network is better; and because the signal quality of the mobile network is poor, the user equipment may need to start other network systems to perform network communication, so that the minimization of drive test event aiming at the Bluetooth equipment and the wireless local area network equipment can be started when the signal quality of the mobile network is poor.

Based on the signal quality of the mobile network, the implementation of turning on or off the minimization of drive test event for the bluetooth device and the wireless lan device can be seen in the embodiments shown in fig. 2 and 3, which are not described in detail herein.

In an exemplary scenario, as shown in fig. 1B, including the base station 10, the user equipment 20, etc., the base station 10 may pre-configure whether to turn on or off the threshold for the minimization of drive test event of the bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device, and send the threshold to the user equipment 20 through RRC signaling, so that the user equipment 20 may automatically turn on or off the minimization of drive test event of the bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device based on the threshold.

Through the steps 101-102, the embodiment can realize that the user equipment automatically opens or closes the minimization drive test event aiming at the Bluetooth equipment and the wireless local area network equipment based on the signal quality of the mobile network, is beneficial to the user equipment to better apply the minimization drive test technology to the indoor scene and reduces the electric quantity consumption of the user equipment, thereby realizing the popularization and promotion of the application of the MDT technology.

For specific implementation of drive test, please refer to the following embodiments.

The following describes a technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure in specific embodiments.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating yet another drive test method according to an example embodiment; the embodiment uses the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure to take an example that the user equipment automatically turns on or off the minimization of drive test event for the bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device based on the first threshold value and the second threshold value provided by the base station, as shown in fig. 2, and includes the following steps:

In step 201, the signal quality of the mobile network is determined, and step 202 or step 203 is performed.

In an embodiment, the description of step 201 may refer to the description of step 101 of the embodiment shown in fig. 1A, and will not be described in detail herein.

In step 202, when the signal quality of the mobile network is above a first threshold, the minimization of drive test event for the Bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device is turned off.

In step 203, a minimization of drive test event for the Bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device is turned on when the signal quality of the mobile network is below a second threshold.

In an embodiment, the first threshold and the second threshold are for a received power setting that may be based on a reference signal; in an embodiment, the first threshold and the second threshold may be set based on a reference signal reception quality.

In steps 202 and 203, the first threshold is a value not less than the second threshold, for example, when the signal quality of the mobile network is measured using the reference signal reception quality, the first threshold may be-80 dBm, the second threshold may be-80 dBm, or a value less than-80 dBm.

In an embodiment, a signal quality of the mobile network being greater than the first threshold may be understood as a signal quality of the mobile network being relatively good, and a signal quality of the mobile network being less than the second threshold may be understood as a signal quality of the mobile network being poor.

In an embodiment, the first threshold and the second threshold may be set by the base station and configured to the ue through RRC signaling, for example, by adding the first threshold and the second threshold to existing Measconfig signaling, and further configuring the first threshold and the second threshold to the ue through modified Measconfig signaling.

In this embodiment, the user equipment may automatically turn on or off the minimization of drive test event for the bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device through the first threshold and the second threshold configured by the base station, which is helpful for the user equipment to better apply the minimization of drive test technology to the indoor scene, and reduce the power consumption of the user equipment.

In step 301, the signal quality of the mobile network is determined, and step 302 or step 303 is performed.

In an embodiment, the implementation of step 301 may be described with reference to step 101 of the embodiment shown in fig. 1A, which is not described in detail herein.

In step 302, the minimization of drive tests event for the Bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device is turned off when the signal quality of the mobile network is capable of triggering an A1 event.

In one embodiment, event A1 (Event A1) represents an Event that the serving cell signal quality is above a certain threshold.

In an embodiment, in the technical solution provided in the present disclosure, when the signal quality of the mobile network can trigger Event A1 (the signal quality of the serving cell is higher than a certain threshold, such as a third threshold), the user equipment may close the minimization of drive test Event for the bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device, except after reporting the base station.

In step 303, a minimization of drive test event for the Bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device is turned on when the signal quality of the mobile network is capable of triggering an A2 event.

In one embodiment, event A2 (Event A2) represents an Event that the serving cell signal quality is below a certain threshold.

In an embodiment, in the technical solution provided in the present disclosure, when the signal quality of the mobile network can trigger Event A2 (the signal quality of the serving cell is lower than a certain threshold, such as a fourth threshold), the ue may start a minimization of drive test Event for the bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device, in addition to reporting the base station.

In this embodiment, the user equipment may automatically turn on or off the minimization of drive test Event for the bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device through the existing Event A1 and Event A2 events in the communication system, without setting a threshold on the base station side to implement the opening or closing of the minimization of drive test Event for the bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device, so that signaling resource waste caused by additional signaling interaction on the base station side and the user equipment side is avoided, and on the basis that the user equipment applies the minimization of drive test technology to an indoor scene better, power consumption of the user equipment is reduced.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a drive test method according to an example embodiment; the drive test method can be applied to a base station, as shown in fig. 4, and comprises the following steps 401-402:

in step 401, a first threshold and a second threshold are determined, the first threshold and the second threshold being used to measure the signal quality of the mobile network.

In an embodiment, a first threshold is used for the user device to determine whether to turn off the minimization of drive test event for the bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device, and a second threshold is used for the user device to determine whether to turn on the minimization of drive test event for the bluetooth device and the wireless local area network device.

In an embodiment, the base station may set the first threshold and the second threshold by itself, where the first threshold is a value not smaller than the second threshold.

In step 402, a first threshold and a second threshold are sent to a user equipment by RRC signaling.

In an embodiment, the base station may configure the ue through RRC signaling, for example, by adding the first threshold and the second threshold to existing Measconfig signaling, and further configuring the first threshold and the second threshold to the ue through modified Measconfig signaling.

In this embodiment, the base station configures a first threshold and a second threshold for the ue to measure the signal quality of the mobile network, so that the ue can automatically turn on or off the minimization of drive test event for the bluetooth device and the wlan device.
