Background
GSM is one of the most widely used communication systems in mobile communication, and its radio access network device is usually called a Base Station Subsystem (BSS). A typical BSS generally includes two logical nodes: a Base Station Controller (BSC) and a Base Transceiver Station (BTS). The BTS responsible for relaying between the fixed and wireless parts of the GSM network needs to work properly, not only for the support of the software version, but also more importantly for the rational configuration of its wireless parameters.
For a traditional GSM mobile communication system, the BTS is mainly a macro base station, the number of base stations is limited, and the configuration of its neighbor cell set is generally unchanged due to the relative stationarity of the base station locations. If manual parameter configuration is used, the workload is acceptable. However, as the GSM operators have higher and higher requirements for network coverage, the deployment of macro base station networking alone cannot meet the requirements, and the pico base station capable of quickly covering a small-range blind spot is generated, and thus, more and more operators pay more attention. Due to the characteristics of the pico-base station, such as large quantity, the installation place is easy to change, and once the pico-base station is deployed in a large scale, the problem that the wireless parameters are difficult to configure is faced, so if a manual configuration mode is still adopted, the workload of the installation process is huge, the opening time cannot be ensured, and the flexibility of the pico-base station is limited.
For the management problem of the pico base station in GSM, for example, chinese patent application No. 200710125015.0, entitled method for implementing GSM pico base station management, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes the following steps:
step 101, the pico base station is powered on to start a wireless configuration process.
And step 102, the pico base station acquires the search frequency range information from the BSC side.
And step 103, the pico base station enters a mobile phone working mode and starts to search surrounding frequency information.
And step 104, searching a proper frequency point, and reporting to a BSC (Operation & Maintenance Center) and a Radio (OMCR).
And step 105, the OMCR performs wireless configuration on the base stations which are successfully searched and stores relevant information.
And step 106, the pico base station enters a base station working mode.
In summary, in the above conventional management manner, the pico-base station searches by itself and reports the surrounding frequency information to the OMCR; according to the reported result, the background network management personnel selects and configures the wireless parameters, so that the base station works normally. The management mode greatly simplifies the frequency planning process of the pico base station and meets the use requirements to a certain extent. However, when the scale of the pico-base station is further increased, the parameter configuration and management requiring manual participation still face the problems of huge configuration quantity and difficult management. If the automatic operation of parameter configuration can be realized, the problems of huge configuration quantity and difficult management caused by manual configuration due to manual configuration can be solved. At present, no management scheme for realizing the automation of the parameter configuration of the pico base station exists.

Detailed Description
The basic idea of the invention is: and the OMCR updates the base station parameters of the OMCR side according to the base station parameter change reported by the BSC, and realizes the automatic management of the base station parameter configuration. Therefore, the BSC informs the OMCR to update the base station parameters, and the process of reversely reconstructing and configuring the base station parameters is equivalent to the process that the OMCR dynamically acquires the base station parameters from the BSC, and realizes the automatic management of the base station parameter configuration. The following description of the invention relates to base stations that are all referred to pico base stations.
The following describes the embodiments in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The following describes the prior art and the present invention in comparison to better appreciate the advantages of the present invention over the prior art.
In the prior art, as shown in fig. 1, a background network manager manually selects and configures wireless parameters according to a result reported by a pico base station, so that the base station can normally operate.
With respect to the present invention, the present invention improves upon the prior art solution, such as that described in fig. 1, as shown in fig. 2, comprising the steps of:
step 201, the pico base station is powered on to start the wireless configuration process.
Step 202, the pico base station acquires the search frequency band information from the HCS side.
And step 203, the pico base station enters a mobile phone working mode and starts to search surrounding frequency and adjacent area information.
And step 204, searching a proper frequency point set and a proper adjacent area set, and reporting to the BSC.
Step 205, the BSC performs automatic frequency planning and automatic neighbor configuration to form part of the radio parameters.
And step 206, the BSC configures the wireless parameters for the pico base station.
And step 207, the pico base station enters a base station working mode.
Step 208, the BSC performs reverse management of the base station parameters.
In summary, with the above management method, the pico base station searches not only an available frequency point set but also a corresponding neighboring set according to some constraint ranges issued by a home base transceiver station configuration Server (HCS) (HomeBTS configuration Server), as described in step 203; as described in step 205, automatic frequency planning and automatic neighbor configuration are added to the BSC to complete automatic generation of wireless parameters such as working frequency points and neighbors; the base station is then configured with the fixed portion of the base station parameters as described in step 206. At this time, the base station enters an operating state. Because the parameters of the frequency point, the adjacent area and the like are automatically selected and configured to the base station by the BSC, the OMCR side does not have the parameter information, and the base station cannot be managed and maintained. Thus, the OMCR is required to dynamically acquire these parameters. Similarly, when the pico bs leaves the service, the data of the base station is meaningless and needs to be cleared from the OMCR side.
The concept of reverse management of base station parameters is introduced so far, compared with the traditional method that the base station parameters are issued to the BSC from the OMCR by network management personnel and then the base station is issued, the invention carries out reverse dynamic management on the base station parameters, and the update brought by the modification, deletion or addition of the base station parameters and the acquisition of the base station parameters are the reverse process that the BSC informs the OMCR to carry out, as stated in step 208, the technology is also generated by the automatic formation and configuration of the base station parameters on the BSC side. Therefore, the BSC informs the OMCR to update the base station parameters, and the process of reversely reconstructing and configuring the base station parameters is equivalent to the process of dynamically acquiring the base station parameters from the BSC by the OMCR, and realizes the automatic management of the base station parameter configuration. In short, the invention can dynamically update the relevant parameters of the base station by the OMCR side through the process of reversely reconstructing and configuring the parameters of the base station, which provides a necessary means for the dynamic access and management of the pico base station, thereby solving the problem of difficult management of the parameters of the dynamically accessed large-scale pico base station in the prior art and greatly improving the efficiency of the large-scale deployment and management of the GSM pico base station.
The technical scheme of reverse management of base station parameters adopted by the invention is specifically explained below.
A method of reverse managing base station parameters, the method comprising: and the OMCR updates the base station parameters of the OMCR side according to the base station parameter change reported by the BSC, and realizes the automatic management of the base station parameter configuration.
The reporting mode adopted for realizing the reporting comprises the following steps: an incremental reporting mode or a full reporting mode. Here, the different reporting modes result in different updates performed by the OMCR according to the report from the BSC, which is described below.
In the first case: the situation of adopting an increment reporting mode; when reporting is increased, a notification list of a single base station or a plurality of base stations can be reported to the OMCR. Wherein, the information in the notification list includes: the number of the current base station and the change state of the current base station parameter, and the notification list may include the information of a single base station or the information of a plurality of base stations.
When an incremental reporting mode is adopted, the step of updating the OMCR according to the report of the BSC specifically comprises the following steps:
step 301, the BSC reports the corresponding synchronization update request to the OMCR according to the change status of the current base station parameters.
Here, the synchronization update request includes: the current base station number and the current state of change of the base station parameters. The base station number is a globally unique device number for a pico base station, is uniquely configured in the HCS, and is unique for each pico base station. This ensures uniqueness of the managed base station parameters. The change state of the current base station parameter is used for OMCR to distinguish the synchronization mode of the base station parameter. The current base station number and the change state of the current base station parameter are adopted, so that the following can be clearly identified: the change state of the base station parameter corresponding to one base station is convenient for the subsequent OMCR to update the corresponding base station parameter of the same base station according to the change state of the base station parameter.
And step 302, the OMCR receives and analyzes the synchronous updating request, and synchronously updates the base station parameters according to the analyzed change state of the current base station parameters.
Here, the change state of the current base station parameter includes: the state that the base station accesses and generates the newly added parameters, the state that the base station exits the service and deletes the parameters, or the state that the personalized parameters of the base station are modified. Because there are various current base station parameter change states, when an incremental reporting mode is adopted, the updating of the OMCR according to the report of the BSC includes the following two specific implementations.
The first implementation is as follows: when the analyzed change state of the current base station parameter is specifically: when the base station exits the service and deletes the state of the parameter, the specific updating process comprises the following steps: and the OMCR clears the base station parameter corresponding to the current base station number according to the current base station number and updates the local database.
The second implementation is as follows: when the analyzed change state of the current base station parameter is specifically: when the base station is accessed and generates the state of the newly added parameter or the state of the personalized parameter modification of the base station, the specific updating process comprises the following steps: OMCR sends the base station parameter request corresponding to the current base station number to BSC; BSC reports the requested base station parameters to OMCR; the OMCR updates the local database based on the base station parameters from the BSC.
It should be noted that: for the change state of the current base station parameters, the state of the base station accessing and generating the new added parameters is as follows: when the base station is in a dynamic access state, the BSC side dynamically and automatically generates and configures the base station parameters according to the wireless information reported by the base station; the state of the personalized parameter modification of the base station is as follows: the state when the HCS side modifies the base station parameters of a certain base station; the state that the base station exits the service and deletes the parameters is as follows: state when a certain base station is out of service.
In the second case: adopting a full reporting mode; when the total quantity is reported, a total quantity parameter request can be reported to notify the OMCR.
When a full reporting mode is adopted, the step of updating the OMCR according to the report of the BSC specifically comprises the following steps:
step 401, the BSC reports the request of the full parameters to the OMCR.
Step 402, after receiving the full parameter request, the OMCR acquires the base station number from all the base station lists currently managed by the BSC, and the OMCR sends a base station parameter request corresponding to the acquired base station number to the BSC.
And step 403, the BSC reports the requested base station parameters to the OMCR, and the OMCR updates a local database according to the base station parameters from the BSC.
Here, the base station parameters reported by the BSC according to the OMCR request include: the HCS configures individualized parameters for each base station, and a base station working frequency point set and a neighboring set which are automatically generated by the BSC, wherein the two types of parameters need to be reversely acquired by the OMCR. The individualized parameters are base station wireless parameters which are configured on the HCS side and are different relative to different pico base stations, and are fixedly configured; the template parameter corresponding to the parameter is a set of base station wireless parameters which are set on the OMCR side and are the same for all base stations; and a base station working frequency point set and an adjacent region set which are automatically generated by the BSC are added, and the base station working frequency point set and the adjacent region set jointly form a complete base station parameter set of the base station.
In conclusion, the invention realizes the dynamic base station parameter management of the OMCR side on the basis that the BSC automatically generates the base station wireless parameters. By automatically generating and dynamically managing the wireless parameters of the pico-base station, the problems that the efficiency of parameter management is low and even the parameter management cannot be realized under the conditions of large-scale access and frequent migration of the pico-base station are solved to a great extent. By adopting the invention, the efficiency of large-scale deployment and application of the pico base station is further improved, and the free and flexible access advantage of the pico base station and the automation for managing the pico base station are fully embodied. The present invention is mainly directed to the implementation of reverse managing base station data in step 208 of fig. 2, which is described in detail below.
Example one: due to the dynamic requirements of the process of reversely reconstructing and configuring the parameters of the base station, the parameters of the base station are managed as long as the parameters of the base station change, as shown in fig. 3, the implementation flow of reporting the parameter change of the base station includes the following steps:
step 501, a base station accesses and generates a new parameter; proceed to step 504.
Step 502, the base station exits the service and deletes the parameters; proceed to step 504.
Step 503, modifying the personalized parameters of the base station; proceed to execute step 504
Step 504, the BSC generates a corresponding synchronization update request according to the current base station parameter change state.
Example two: and adopting an increment reporting mode or a full reporting mode to realize the reporting condition. As shown in fig. 4, the flow for the BSC to report in different reporting modes includes the following steps:
step 601, the BSC buffers the data in the synchronization update request.
Step 602, judging whether the local cache area is full, if yes, switching to step 604; otherwise, if the long-term link problem between BSC and OMCR prevents the acquisition of the base station parameters, step 603 is executed.
And 603, reporting the synchronous updating request to the OMCR in an incremental reporting mode.
And step 604, reporting the full parameter request to the OMCR in a full reporting mode.
Example three: in the case that the OMCR updates the base station parameters, as shown in fig. 5, the update implementation process includes the following steps:
step 701, judging whether the reporting mode is an incremental reporting mode, if so, executing step 702; otherwise, go to step 703.
Step 702, determining whether the change status of the current base station parameter in the synchronization update request is: the base station exits the service and deletes the parameters, if yes, the step 704 is executed, otherwise, the step 705 is executed.
Step 703, acquiring all base station lists managed by the current BSC, and going to step 705.
Step 704, the OMCR clears the base station parameters of the corresponding base station, updates the local database and displays.
Step 705, OMCR sends a base station parameter request of the corresponding base station to BSC.
Step 706, the BSC reports the requested base station parameters to the OMCR, which updates the local database and displays it according to the base station parameters from the BSC.
As shown in fig. 6, a system for reverse managing parameters of a base station includes: and the management unit is used for updating the base station parameters of the OMCR side by the OMCR according to the base station parameter change reported by the BSC and realizing the automatic management of the base station parameter configuration.
Here, the management unit further includes: a reporting module and an updating module. Because the reporting modes are different, the concrete implementation of the reporting module and the updating module is also different.
The first implementation is as follows: and under the condition of realizing reporting by adopting an incremental reporting mode, the reporting module is used for reporting the corresponding synchronous updating request to the OMCR by the BSC according to the change state of the current base station parameter. Wherein the synchronous update request comprises: the current base station number and the current state of change of the base station parameters. And the updating module is used for receiving and analyzing the synchronous updating request by the OMCR and synchronously updating the base station parameters according to the analyzed change state of the current base station parameters.
The second implementation is as follows: and the reporting module is used for the BSC to report the full parameter request to the OMCR under the condition of realizing the reporting by adopting a full reporting mode. The updating module is used for acquiring the base station number from all base station lists currently managed by the BSC after the OMCR receives the full parameter request; OMCR sends the base station parameter request corresponding to base station number obtained to BSC; BSC reports the requested base station parameters to OMCR; the OMCR updates the local database based on the base station parameters from the BSC.
Wherein, under the condition of implementing reporting by adopting an incremental reporting mode, the updating module is further configured to, when the analyzed change state of the current base station parameter is specifically: and when the base station exits the service and deletes the parameter state, the OMCR clears the base station parameter corresponding to the current base station number according to the current base station number, and updates and displays the local database. Or, when the analyzed change state of the current base station parameter is specifically: when the base station is accessed and generates a state of a newly added parameter or a state of base station personalized parameter modification, the OMCR sends a base station parameter request corresponding to the current base station number to the BSC; BSC reports the requested base station parameters to OMCR; the OMCR updates the local database and display according to the base station parameters from the BSC.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
