Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及无线通信系统软件管理，特别是一种无线通信系统中管理软件版本文件方法。The invention relates to software management of a wireless communication system, in particular to a method for managing software version files in a wireless communication system.
背景技术Background technique
无线通信系统一般都比较复杂，软件版本构成种类较多，以基站为例，一个基站系统上的软件版本有多种CPU运行软件、现场可编程门阵列(FGPA，Field-Programmable Gate Array)逻辑软件、数字信号处理(DSP，digital singnalprocessor)软件和单片机软件，多达数十种，相应的软件版本文件也会有数十个。如果软件版本管理以具体软件版本文件为粒度，则必须保证这些软件版本文件的一致性和正确性，对于用户来说非常难以操作。任一个软件版本文件不匹配，都会导致整个基站不能正常工作。为了解决这个问题，目前的技术一般是把一个基站的所有软件版本文件打包成一个基站版本包，用户只需要对基站版本包进行下载、激活操作，就可以实现对整个基站的软件版本文件更新，不用关心具体软件版本文件，减少了人工操作出现问题的可能。Wireless communication systems are generally more complex, and there are many types of software versions. Taking a base station as an example, the software versions on a base station system include various CPU operating software and Field-Programmable Gate Array (FGPA, Field-Programmable Gate Array) logic software. , digital signal processing (DSP, digital signal processor) software and single-chip microcomputer software, there are as many as dozens of types, and there will be dozens of corresponding software version files. If software version management is based on specific software version files, the consistency and correctness of these software version files must be guaranteed, which is very difficult for users to operate. If any software version file does not match, the entire base station will not work properly. In order to solve this problem, the current technology generally packs all the software version files of a base station into a base station version package. Users only need to download and activate the base station version package to update the software version files of the entire base station. No need to care about specific software version files, which reduces the possibility of problems in manual operations.
但是，这种将整个基站软件版本文件打包却带来下面一些问题：当一个基站版本包发布之后，用户需要更换其中很少的一个或者几个软件版本文件时，也必须重新下载整个基站版本包，并激活整个基站版本包，而每次下载、激活需要中断系统设备运行，从而造成不必要的业务中断和软件升级时间过长；如果更新单个软件版本文件，又会存在与基站版本包中原有软件版本文件冲突的问题。However, this kind of packaging of the entire base station software version file has brought the following problems: when a base station version package is released, and the user needs to replace one or several software version files, the entire base station version package must be re-downloaded , and activate the entire base station version package, and each download and activation needs to interrupt the operation of the system equipment, resulting in unnecessary business interruption and too long software upgrade time; if a single software version file is updated, it will exist in the base station version package. The problem of software version file conflict.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
本发明的基本思想是：将无线通信系统中升级的软件版本文件打包成补丁软件包，基站的版本服务器更新补丁软件包中升级的软件版本文件，再通知系统设备下载补丁软件包中相应的软件版本文件即可完成更新。The basic idea of the present invention is: pack the upgraded software version file in the wireless communication system into a patch software package, the version server of the base station updates the upgraded software version file in the patch software package, and then notifies the system equipment to download the corresponding software in the patch software package version file to complete the update.
下面以宽带分码多工存取(WCDMA，Wideband Code Division MultipleAccess)的无线基站(NodeB)为例对本发明进行详细描述：Take the wireless base station (NodeB) of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) as an example below to describe the present invention in detail:
NodeB的版本服务器上基站版本包的原版本号是V1.0.0.100，基站版本包V1.0.0.100的软件版本文件信息如表1所示：The original version number of the base station version package on the NodeB version server is V1.0.0.100, and the software version file information of the base station version package V1.0.0.100 is shown in Table 1:
表1Table 1
现在需要将软件SW1和SW2的软件版本文件升级到V1.0.0.101和V1.0.0.102，步骤如图1所示：Now you need to upgrade the software version files of software SW1 and SW2 to V1.0.0.101 and V1.0.0.102, the steps are shown in Figure 1:
步骤1：将升级的软件版本文件打包为补丁软件包。Step 1: Package the upgraded software version file into a patch software package.
将升级的软件版本文件SW1V100101和SW2V100102打包成补丁软件包。补丁软件包的格式如图2所示，由补丁软件包头、软件版本文件集合构成，补丁软件包头包含基站版本包的版本号V1.0.0.100、升级的软件版本文件个数2；软件版本文件集合是升级的各软件类型的软件版本文件，即SW1V100101和SW2V100102。Package the upgraded software version files SW1V100101 and SW2V100102 into a patch software package. The format of the patch software package is shown in Figure 2. It is composed of a patch package header and a software version file set. The patch package header includes the version number V1.0.0.100 of the base station version package and the number of upgraded
步骤2：在版本服务器中更新补丁软件包中的软件版本文件，并通知NodeB更新基站版本包。Step 2: Update the software version file in the patch software package in the version server, and notify the NodeB to update the base station version package.
基站的版本服务器在加入补丁软件包时候，首先解析补丁软件包，解析出基站版本包的版本号V1.0.0.100、升级的软件版本文件个数2。When adding the patch software package, the version server of the base station first parses the patch software package to find out the version number V1.0.0.100 of the base station version package and the number of upgraded
版本服务器通过基站版本包版本号V1.0.0.100找到原来版本服务器中的基站版本包，然后将补丁软件包中的软件版本文件SW1V100101和SW2V100102替换原基站版本包中的软件版本文件SW1V100100和SW2V100100，并更新基站版本包的软件版本文件信息列表，新的软件版本文件信息如表2所示：The version server finds the base station version package in the original version server through the base station version package version number V1.0.0.100, and then replaces the software version files SW1V100101 and SW2V100102 in the patch software package with the software version files SW1V100100 and SW2V100100 in the original base station version package, And update the software version file information list of the base station version package, the new software version file information is as shown in Table 2:
表2Table 2
版本服务器更新补丁软件包后，通知NodeB基站版本包有更新，通知消息中带有更新后的软件版本文件信息列表。After the version server updates the patch package, it notifies the NodeB base station that the version package has been updated, and the notification message contains a list of updated software version file information.
步骤3：NodeB根据版本服务器通知，下载补丁软件包中升级的软件版本文件，并复位相应的硬件单元，加载升级的软件版本文件。Step 3: NodeB downloads the upgraded software version file in the patch software package according to the version server notification, resets the corresponding hardware unit, and loads the upgraded software version file.
NodeB根据软件版本文件信息列表的信息，与自身具有的软件版本信息进行比较，发现SW1和SW2这两个软件类型的软件版本文件的软件版本号发生改变，于是从版本服务器下载SW1V100101和SW2V100102这两个软件版本文件。NodeB compares the information in the software version file information list with its own software version information, and finds that the software version numbers of the software version files of SW1 and SW2 have changed, so it downloads SW1V100101 and SW2V100102 from the version server. A software version file.
NodeB复位SW1V100101和SW2V100102相应的硬件单元，硬件单元运行自身的加载程序，将SW1V100101和SW2V100102这两个软件版本文件加载到硬件单元的处理器中，硬件单元的处理器运行SW1V100101和SW2V100102这两个软件版本文件，完成软件版本文件升级。硬件单元处理器可以是CPU、或者DSP、或者FPGA处理器等。NodeB resets the corresponding hardware units of SW1V100101 and SW2V100102, the hardware unit runs its own loader, loads the two software version files of SW1V100101 and SW2V100102 into the processor of the hardware unit, and the processor of the hardware unit runs the two software of SW1V100101 and SW2V100102 Version file to complete the software version file upgrade. The hardware unit processor can be CPU, or DSP, or FPGA processor, etc.
本发明不仅适用WCDMA基站系统，也适合其他通信体制的无线通信基站系统，如微波存取全球互通(WiMAX，Worldwide Interoperability for MicrowaveAccess)、时分同步的码分多址(TD-SCDMA，Time Division-Synchronous CodeDivision Multiple Access)、码分多址(CDMA，Code Division Multiple Access)、全球移动通信(GSM，Global System For Mobile Communication)等系统。对于多个软件版本文件升级的情况，在打包为软件补丁包时，软件版本文件集合中包含多个升级的软件版本文件，后续的更新过程与以上步骤类似。The present invention is not only suitable for WCDMA base station systems, but also suitable for wireless communication base station systems of other communication systems, such as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX, Worldwide Interoperability for MicrowaveAccess), Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA, Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA, Code Division Multiple Access), Global Mobile Communication (GSM, Global System For Mobile Communication) and other systems. For the upgrade of multiple software version files, when packaged into a software patch package, the software version file set contains multiple upgraded software version files, and the subsequent update process is similar to the above steps.
以上所述，仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已，并非用于限定本发明的保护范围。The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
