Description

Method, device and system for configuring network equipment

technical field

The present invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a configuration method, device and system for network equipment.

Background technique

In GSM (Global System for Mobile communications, Global System for Mobile Communications), BSS (Base Station Sub-system, Base Station Subsystem) includes BSC (Base Station Controller, Base Station Controller) and several BTS (Base TransceiverStation, base transceiver station). Among them, the BSC, as the control center of the BTS, mainly undertakes functions such as radio resource management, call signaling connection, CS (Circuit Switching, circuit switching) call processing, base station management, power control, switching control, operation and maintenance, etc. Data transmission, network optimization, etc. play an important role.

At present, different BSC equipment suppliers provide different configuration maintenance tools for BSC data configuration, for example, MML (Man Machine Language, man-machine language) operation client.

MML itself is just a human-machine interface protocol, and the user configures the BSC through the MML operation client provided by the supplier. The MML operation client assembles the information entered by the user into an MML command string in the agreed format, and then communicates with the GBAM (GSM Back Administration Module) as the server through the LAN (or WAN) to configure the GBAM The BSC where it is located completes the operation and maintenance of the BSC, and then converts the response message returned by the GBAM into an MML command execution report and displays it to the user. Users can also save certain MML command strings to files, and upload them from the MML operation client to the GBAM server for batch execution to realize the batch configuration function.

In the process of realizing the present invention, the inventor found that the prior art has at least the following problems:

Although using MML to operate the client can achieve batch configuration and improve configuration efficiency, it is still difficult to meet user requirements in many application scenarios. For example, it is difficult to move base stations between different BSCs only through MML commands. At the same time, the MML operation client faces the problem of multiple versions, and the compatibility of the saved MML script version is not strong, which is not conducive to the unified configuration of the operator.

It is worth noting that the introduction of the above-mentioned prior art problems is explained by taking the BSC in GSM as an example. However, the same problem also exists in network devices in other communication systems and other network devices in GSM. In different systems, network devices may have different names.

Detailed ways

The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, it is a flowchart of a configuration method for a network device in an embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:

Step 101, receiving and parsing a configuration file based on a user plane, and obtaining corresponding data plane configuration data.

The embodiment of the present invention is described by taking the BSC as an example. According to the actual planning, telecom operators need to add base stations, cells or carrier frequencies in batches under different BSCs, or delete the originally configured base stations, cells and carrier frequencies, or partially adjust the original wireless layer parameters, etc., to meet the actual requirements. The needs of the application scenario. For operator operators, the above-mentioned planning operations are generally performed offline. After the planning is completed, the operator can describe the planning results in the format defined by the XML (eXtensible Markup Language, Extensible Markup Language) interface model (which can be called XML format), generate a configuration file based on the user plane, and then pass the agreed interface , sending the configuration file based on the user plane to the configuration device of the network device for processing. The device for configuring network equipment may be an independent network element, for example, it may be an operation and maintenance terminal, or it may be other terminals under the communication system. In addition, the configuration file based on the user plane can be written manually or generated by corresponding tools, and the form of file generation is not fixed.

The interface of the above agreement can be agreed by the operator OSS (Operation Support System, operation support system) and the equipment manufacturer to realize the communication between the user plane and the network element. The interface can also be an interface based on the user plane, such as a northbound interface. The corresponding file may be called a northbound configuration file, which is also based on the user plane and is user plane data described in XML.

The parsing process of the northbound configuration file is the process of converting the northbound configuration file from user plane data to data plane data. Specifically, after receiving the northbound configuration file based on the user plane according to the agreement interface, the configuration device of the network device parses the northbound configuration file to obtain corresponding northbound configuration data, which is data plane data containing network device description information, and Related to NE commands.

Step 102, extract live network configuration data of network devices, perform offline data configuration according to the acquired data plane configuration data and extracted live network configuration data, and generate a data configuration distribution script.

After obtaining the northbound configuration data including the description information of the network device from the northbound configuration file, correspondingly automatically extract the live network configuration data of the network device, and perform offline data configuration according to the live network configuration data and the northbound configuration data. Since the entire configuration process is not related to the work of network devices, it is called offline configuration. Among them, the current network configuration data is the current data plane data of the network equipment, and the northbound configuration data includes operation information on the network equipment, including adding or deleting base stations, cells or carrier frequencies.

The process of offline configuration includes: applying the northbound configuration data to the configuration data of the live network, generating the data after offline configuration, and verifying the data after offline configuration. On the basis of correct offline data configuration, compare the data after offline configuration with the data before offline configuration, determine the change information of the data surface data of network equipment before and after offline configuration, and generate a data configuration delivery script for subsequent downloading sent to the corresponding network device.

The data configuration delivery script may specifically include: a transmission layer data configuration delivery script and a wireless layer data configuration delivery script.

Step 103, sending the data configuration delivery script to the network device.

Send the data configuration delivery script to the network device, and the data configuration delivery script takes effect online on the network device.

Afterwards, optionally, the online configuration effective result file of the network device can be obtained in time, and the result file is analyzed, and the configuration result of the network device is returned to the user, and the entire configuration process ends.

The network equipment in the embodiment of the present invention may be a network element that needs to be configured in a communication network, such as a base station, a BSC in GSM, a RNC (Radio Network Controller, wireless network controller) and other equipment, and may also be other network equipment such as a base station.

The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages, because the configuration file based on the user plane is used to perform offline data configuration on the network device, and the generated data configuration delivery script is sent to the network device, so that the data configuration delivery script is distributed on the network It takes effect in the device, thereby simplifying the operation process of the data configuration of the network device and reducing the operation cost.

As shown in FIG. 2 , it is a flow chart of a specific implementation of the configuration of the network device in the embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:

Step 201, receiving a configuration file based on a user plane.

In this embodiment, description is made by taking the configuration file based on the user plane as a northbound configuration file and the network device as a BSC as an example. The northbound configuration file is described in common XML, which is simple, intuitive, universal, and easy to expand and maintain. The description of the model fields of the northbound configuration file is completely based on the user interface and is easy to understand. It can be written by hand or generated by corresponding tools. The form of file generation is not fixed. The northbound configuration file has strong compatibility. Users only need to submit the configuration file to the configuration device of the network device for processing, and do not need to pay attention to the version of the corresponding network device, or even the supplier of the network device. For users, this processing mechanism effectively shields the differences between different network devices, which is more conducive to the user's operation and maintenance.

The basic sample format of the northbound configuration file is described as follows:

<cfgfile:subsession netype="BSC" opmode="BestEffort" neid="BSC_226">

<gn:DataContainer modifier="create">

<BSC:BSC_8.0>

<Transmission>

<BTS modifier="create">

<attributes>

</attributes>

<TRXB oard modifier="create">

</TRXBoard>

<Link modifier="create">

</Link>

<Cell modifier="create">

</Cell>

</BTS>

</Transmission>

</BSC:BSC_8.0>

</gn:DataContainer>

</cfgfile:subsession>

<cfgfile:subsession netype="BSC" opmode="BestEffort" neid="BSC_224">

<gn:DataContainer modifier="delete">

<BSC:BSC_8.0>

<Transmission>

<BTS modifier="delete">

<attributes>

<BTSName>3012a</BTSName>

</attributes>

</BTS>

</Transmission>

</BSC:BSC_8.0>

</gn:DataContainer>

</cfgfile:subsession>

Among them, neid describes the specific BSC name, and the network management can supervise multiple BSCs. Correspondingly, in the same northbound configuration file, it is possible to describe the configuration data of different BSCs; data configuration operations, that is, modifiers, include: Add create, delete delete, change update, and special mobile base station reparent operations; the node BTS means that the node describes the relevant information of the base station; the attribute part BTSName describes the specific base station name.

Step 202, perform pre-verification on the configuration file based on the user plane.

In the embodiment of the present invention, this step can be realized by a configuration device of the network device. Specifically, the configuration device may correspondingly generate a model verification file (for example, generate a Schema file to check the validity of the configuration XML file) according to the XML model definition file on the user plane. Through the model verification file, the validity of the northbound configuration file is pre-verified. If the northbound configuration file is found to be invalid, an error report will be returned to the user in time. Otherwise, go to step 203.

Step 203, analyzing the configuration file based on the user plane to obtain corresponding data plane configuration data.

If the result of pre-checking the validity of the northbound configuration file is that the northbound configuration file is valid, then parse the northbound configuration file to obtain the corresponding data plane configuration data. In the embodiment of the present invention, the data plane configuration data can be called northbound Configuration Data.

Step 204, splitting the acquired data plane configuration data in units of BSCs.

When planning configurations for multiple BSCs, you can generate northbound configuration files for each BSC one by one, or you can aggregate and generate all BSC configuration information involved in configuration changes into one northbound configuration file. If the user generates northbound configuration files according to a single BSC, the user needs to send each northbound configuration file to the configuration device of the network device one by one through the corresponding interface (which may be called the northbound configuration interface in this embodiment); if all The configuration information is summarized in a northbound configuration file, so the user only needs to send the northbound configuration file once through the corresponding interface.

If the data configuration information of different BSCs is described in the northbound configuration file, the configuration device of the network device will effectively split the obtained northbound configuration data in units of BSCs, and perform separate configuration for each BSC according to the split northbound configuration data. configuration.

Step 205, extracting the live network configuration data of the BSC.

For the northbound configuration data of a BSC, the configuration device of the network device obtains the description information of the BSC from the northbound configuration file, and correspondingly automatically extracts the live network configuration data of the BSC, so as to perform configuration operations based on the live network configuration data.

Step 206, divide the northbound configuration data into transport layer configuration data and wireless layer configuration data.

From the perspective of configuration services, the configuration device of the network equipment further divides the northbound configuration data into two major blocks, namely, transport layer configuration data and radio layer configuration data.

It can be understood that the division of this step is optional. If no division is made in this step, the subsequent steps will not divide the transport layer and the wireless layer in detail, but operate as a whole.

Step 207, analyzing the transport layer configuration data, and performing offline data configuration of the transport layer according to the transport layer configuration data and the live network configuration data.

The configuration device of the network equipment analyzes the configuration data of the transport layer, and implements offline data configuration of the transport layer on the basis of the configuration data of the transport layer and the configuration data of the live network, such as adding and deleting base stations, adding and deleting carrier frequencies, etc. The provided northbound configuration file.

Step 208, perform data verification on the operation of the offline data configuration of the transport layer, if the operation of the offline data configuration of the transport layer is wrong, perform step 209; if the operation of the offline data configuration of the transport layer is correct, perform step 210.

In the process of configuring the offline data of the northbound transport layer, the configuration device of the network device performs data verification on the operation of offline data configuration of the transport layer according to the result of the offline configuration of the transport layer.

Step 209, generating a transport layer error analysis report, and returning the transport layer error analysis report to the user.

If the operation of the offline data configuration of the transport layer is wrong, and the operation error is caused by the wrong description of the transport layer configuration data in the northbound configuration file, the configuration device of the network device will generate an error analysis report in time and return it to the user for reference and correction Wrong northbound configuration file.

Step 210: Generate a transmission layer data configuration delivery script according to the result of the transport layer offline data configuration.

If the operation of the offline data configuration of the entire transport layer is correct and the overall data verification is effectively passed, the offline data configuration of the transport layer ends. On the basis that the offline data configuration of the transport layer is correct, the configuration device of the network device compares the data after the offline configuration of the transport layer with the data before offline configuration, and generates a transmission layer data configuration delivery script for subsequent delivery to the corresponding BSc.

Step 211, analyze the configuration data of the wireless layer, and configure the offline data of the wireless layer according to the configuration data of the wireless layer and the configuration data of the live network.

After the transmission layer data configuration distribution script is generated, the configuration device of the network device analyzes the wireless layer configuration data, and implements the wireless layer offline data configuration based on the wireless layer configuration data and the live network configuration data on the basis of the transmission layer offline data configuration, and performs Configuration or adjustment of related parameters of the wireless layer. For example, the adjustment of the network optimization parameters of the cell, the creation or deletion of external cells, and the relationship between neighboring cells, etc., the above operations are all derived from the northbound configuration file initially provided by the northbound interface.

Step 212, perform data verification on the wireless layer offline data configuration operation, if the wireless layer offline data configuration operation is wrong, execute step 213; if the wireless layer offline data configuration operation is correct, execute step 214.

During the wireless layer offline data configuration process, the configuration device of the network device performs data verification on the operation of the wireless layer offline data configuration according to the wireless layer offline configuration result.

Step 213, generating a radio layer error analysis report, and returning the radio layer error analysis report to the user.

If the operation of the wireless layer offline data configuration is wrong, and the operation error is caused by the wrong description of the wireless layer configuration data in the northbound configuration file, the configuration device of the network device will generate an error analysis report in time and return it to the user for reference and correction Wrong northbound configuration file.

Step 214: Generate a wireless layer data configuration distribution script according to the result of the wireless layer offline data configuration.

If the operation of the entire wireless layer offline data configuration is correct and the overall data verification is effectively passed, the wireless layer offline data configuration ends. On the basis that the wireless layer offline data configuration is correct, the configuration device of the network device compares the data after the wireless layer offline configuration with the data before offline configuration, and generates a wireless layer data configuration distribution script for subsequent distribution to the corresponding BSc.

Step 215, sending the transmission layer data configuration delivery script and the wireless layer data configuration delivery script to the BSC.

After the wireless layer data configuration delivery script is successfully generated, the configuration device of the network device sequentially delivers the transport layer data configuration delivery script generated in step 210 and the wireless layer delivery script generated in step 214 to the corresponding BSC to take effect online.

In actual application scenarios, telecom operators may also be involved in the mobile operation of the configured base station, such as moving from a directly connected BSC to a cascaded BTS, or from a cascaded BTS to a directly connected BSC, or replacing a directly connected BSC Application scenarios such as changing the BST to which the cascade connection belongs, or changing the port to which it belongs. The above moving operation can be performed within a BSC or between different BSCs.

If the BTS is moved within the BSC, all configuration operations will be performed in the same BSC, and all generated configuration data scripts will also be delivered to the same BSC to take effect; if the BTS is moved between BSCs, the configuration operations will be performed in the two It is performed on different BSCs, and the generated configuration data scripts are delivered to different BSCs to take effect.

Optionally, the embodiment of the present invention may also include the step of reporting the effective result:

Step 216, obtaining the BSC online configuration validation result file, analyzing the online configuration validation result file, and returning the analysis result to the user.

After the BSC takes effect online, the configuration device of the network device obtains the BSC online configuration effect result file in time, analyzes the online configuration effect result file, returns the final analysis result to the user, and ends the entire northbound configuration process.

Moreover, the configuration process of network devices requires only a small amount of interaction with users, and data configuration can be implemented for different network devices from the network management level.

Corresponding to the configuration file based on the user plane, the configuration interface file mode corresponding to the configuration file based on the user plane above can be used for the interface mode of the operator OSS system and network device configuration.

In addition, in order to realize the configuration data automation process, a description of the configuration file required by the configuration device of the network device is proposed, the configuration data of the corresponding network device is automatically extracted, and the offline data configuration is performed on this basis, and the configuration delivery script is generated , and send it to the corresponding network device to take effect.

Furthermore, if the correctness check of the data configuration operation is added during the configuration process of the network device, a complete analysis report can be provided for the user's reference, so that the user can find problems in time and correct them. Of course, it can be understood that the above step of checking the correctness of the data configuration operation (that is, the data verification performed on the offline data configuration operation) is optional.

Moreover, the configuration device implementing the above configuration process can be compatible with network devices of different versions, without requiring users to care about version adaptation issues. The configuration device of the network equipment is located between the user plane and the network elements, independent of all network elements, and may be a user terminal under the communication system. The network device in the embodiment of the present invention may be a network element that needs to be configured in a communication network, such as a base station, a BSC in GSM, an RNC in WCDMA, or a base station.
