Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to moving communicating field, particularly in the mobile communication system to the technology that administers and maintains of remote sub-system.
Background technology
Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, be called for short " WCDMA ") be 3G (Third Generation) Moblie (the 3rd Generation, abbreviation " 3G ") three kinds of mainstream standard is a kind of, it has inherited existing global system for mobile communications (Global Systems forMobile communications, be called for short " GSM ") the high and open good characteristics of standardization level, with the GSM network favorable compatibility and interoperability being arranged, is one of development trend of future mobile communications.
The basic structure of WCDMA system wireless Access Network (Radio Access Network is called for short " RAN ") side as shown in Figure 1.
In the WCDMA system, the RAN side comprises radio network controller (Radio NetworkController, be called for short " RNC ") 20 and as the B node (NodeB) 10 of base station.Wherein, each NodeB 10 is used to receive subscriber equipment (User Equipment is called for short " the UE ") signal in the administrative area, after treatment it is aggregated into RNC 20 by transmission channel; RNC 20 is used to focus on the information that NodeB 10 transmits, and the information that will handle sends to UE by NodeB 10.The cost of RNC 20 when saving networking, RNC 20 need provide large tracts of land to cover usually, and its connects also controls a plurality of NodeB 10, and the NodeB 10 that is attached thereto is can distance R NC 20 far, can reach kilometers up to a hundred, and NodeB 10 distance to each other is also far away.Connect by internetworking agreement (IP OVER ATM is called for short " IPOA ") maintenance channel between RNC 20 and the NodeB 10 based on asynchronous transfer mode (Asynchronous Transfer Mode, abbreviation " ATM ").
Consider the needs of system maintenance and management, the WCDMA system is also by (the Operations ﹠amp of operation maintenance center; Maintenance Center, abbreviation " OMC ") 30 are used for providing to the user interface of Operation ﹠ Maintenance System, generally speaking, the management maintenance personnel comprise the regular maintenance control of software upgrading to NodeB 10 by the IPOA maintenance channel at far-end OMC 30.
A typical NodeB 10 comprises software and hardware two parts, and the system hardware structure of NodeB 10 inside as shown in Figure 2.The hardware of NodeB 10 comprises a master control borad 11 and a plurality of service board 12.Wherein, master control borad 11 also comprises two memory blocks, is respectively main with memory block 111 and spare memory area 112; Service board 12 also can be called for short veneer 12, need the corresponding software of configuration, these softwares are generally by central processing unit (Central Processing Unit, abbreviation " CPU ") compositions such as software module, bottom layer driving software module, digital signal processor (Digital Signal Processor is called for short " DSP ") software module and other configuration file.
The upgrading of NodeB has two kinds of schemes, and a kind of is the upgrading of hardware, can be by changing or adding service board and realize; A kind of is the upgrading of software, by changing or adding corresponding software module and realize.General OMC 30 provides the software upgrading controlling platform, comprises the module that is used for software upgrading function in the software module of NodeB 10.When needs carry out software upgrading to NodeB 10, generally be to need upgrading software to download to each NodeB 10 by transmission channel by OMC30.
In the existing technical scheme, technical scheme one is simple proposal, and this technical scheme is not considered the software arrangements situations of these NodeB 10 original operations, directly NodeB 10 all software modules is all sent to each NodeB 10.
Technical scheme two has been improved technical scheme one, at first software module is judged information, comprise software version number and file size, send to NodeB 10, judgement information that NodeB 10 will receive and the software information comparison match of moving now, if identical then do not carry out software upgrading, if inequality then carry out software upgrading, and updating result would be returned to OMC 30 by NodeB 10.
In actual applications, there is following problem in such scheme: NodeB software upgrading scheme efficient is lower in the existing WCDMA system, and the time that needs during software upgrading is longer.
Cause the main cause of this situation to be, WCDMA systematic comparison complexity, software category and size required on the more and every kind of service board of the kind of service board are also inequality, the shared memory space of the software of whole NodeB is very big, and a NodeB system software upgrading is common for no other reason than that some software module needs to upgrade, and most of software module need not be upgraded; Simultaneously, function that each NodeB supports and required software module also are not quite similar, and the communication interface between the RNC can be optical interface or electrical interface, or even support the hybrid interface of two kinds of interfaces, some base station system also needs to dispose the extra veneer with expanded function, some base station system does not then need, and such escalation process will be in the face of a large amount of different hardware and the base station system of software arrangements.
Technical scheme one goes up all softwares with NodeB and downloads by the far-end transmission channel, whole base station software modules are upgraded indiscriminately, so just cause a lot of NodeB not need or unsupported at all software module is transmitted, efficient is very low, bandwidth owing to the IPOA maintenance channel is disposed by operator simultaneously, usually have only tens K, if upgrade software is too big, transmission time can be very long, when especially a plurality of NodeB carry out software release upgrade simultaneously, if also will consider the checking operation or the version rollback time of follow-up renewal version, the time of leaving the software release upgrade process for is inadequate.
Though technical scheme two has been carried out version relatively, but do not consider that escalation process will be in the face of the NodeB of a large amount of different softwares and hardware configuration, do not consider that some base station system need be by upgrading to increase the situation of some functional software module yet, cause the process of software version coupling relatively more difficult, efficient is not high; And owing to the software module number that Nodeb is required is more, when software module number that needs upgrade is also many, need a large amount of software module of transmission, and for the transmission course of each software module, the connection of certain transmission means is at first set up in the capital, transmits then, discharges at last to connect, go round and begin again up to all software module end of transmissions, a plurality of like this software modules need be set up and discharge repeatedly ways of connecting and also caused software updating efficiency low.
