Use method of the present invention, because the interface module in the base station is not with routing mode work, but work, for OAM module and OMC-R in the base station set up a transparent transmission channel in the mode of address translation/protocol translation.Need between the different like this base stations to be the different IP address of base-station interface block configuration, and default configuration can be used in the IP address of each module of inside of base station, need not reconfigure.In addition, because outside internal structure of not knowing the base station, can not be directly and the inside of base station module communication, strengthened the fail safe of base station.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing method of the present invention is elaborated.
With reference to Fig. 1,2 WCDMD system configuration and basic procedure of the present invention shown in Figure 3, after base station inner joint module goes into operation, the information that writes when dispatching from the factory set up OMC-R and and the base station between logical links.In order to make this link transparent, must move ICP/IP protocol on the upper strata to the AM/BAM webmaster.Figure 1 shows that two base stations, promptly logical links is set up with OMC-R respectively in base station 1 and base station 2 among the figure.As shown in Figure 1, when dispatching from the factory, the default IP address of base station 1 and base station 2 inner each modules is identical, and being in particular the OAM module's address is that 1.0.32.2, interface module address are that 1.0.34.3, other module's addresss are 1.0.35.1.Note that the default addresses for use that the above-mentioned address of each module of inside of base station can be disposed when dispatching from the factory, also can be the address that is provided with separately by LMT Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT).
In step 1, the base-station interface module is outwards sent the bootstrapping request with broadcast mode by aforesaid logical links, comprises Base Station Identification and a transaction number in the request.In the step 2, bootstrapping server end module in the radio operation maintenance centre (OMC-R) is carried out simple process by after receiving the bootstrapping request, and the requests resource allocation administration module is this base station assigns resource then, as shown in Figure 1, the IP address of distributing to base station 1 is 5.6.7.8.Note, if the link layer of above-mentioned logical links based on ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode), OMC-R also needs to be the new virtual path identifier of base station assigns/virtual channel identifier (VPI/VCI).Bootstrapping server end module is sent resource and other configuration information that distributes with the bootstrapping response mode.In step 3, bootstrapping is replied by radio network controller and is routed to the base-station interface module.In step 4, the interface module in the base station is verified bootstrapping and is replied interior Base Station Identification and transaction number.In step 5, interface module in the base station 1 reconfigures protocol stack with the IP address that obtains, other configuration information is given to other modules of base station, for example for the OAM module initiatively to OMC-R report and alarm information, the OAM module must be known the IP address of OMC-R in the base station, just needs interface module that the module to OAM is circulated a notice of in the IP address of OMC-R.Step 6, OAM module in the base station 1 sends datagram to OMC-R, source address is 1.0.32.2 in this data message as shown in Figure 1, and destination address is 5.6.7.1, interface module in the base station is to replacing with interface module address 5.6.7.8 from base station OAM module data message source address translation and recomputating the verification of IP header and to finish address translation, carrying out protocol translation then handles, for example for the environment that uses ICMP or TCP or udp protocol, recomputate ICMP or TCP or UDP header or pseudo-header verification and, be dealt into OMC-R by radio network controller then.In step 7, send datagram to base station 1 by OMC-R, in the IP address of data message, source address is 5.6.7.1, destination address is 5.6.7.8, after giving the interface module of base station 1 through the RNC route, will replace with base station OAM module backboard port address 1.0.32.2 from destination address translation in this data message by the address translation module in the interface module, recomputate IP verification and after be forwarded to base station OAM module.Protocol translation is identical with step 6, also need to recomputate protocol header or pseudo-header verification and.
For a plurality of base stations, the situation of 2 two base stations in base station 1 and base station among Fig. 1 for example, the address that for example can distribute to base station 2 is 5.6.7.9, only needs each base station institute addresses distributed of assurance not repeat.
Fig. 4 is the step 6 of utilizing in the inventive method, seven, at the instantiation that transmits data message under the ICP/IP protocol environment between OAM module and the OMC-R.As shown in Figure 4, the payload portions of the data message that transmits has comprised the instruction of file transfer protocol (FTP) (FTP).At first transmit data message by OAM module in the base station to OMC-R, this step is the step 6 of the inventive method.The IP address part is source address 1.0.32.2, destination address 5.6.7.1 in this data message, the FTP instruction of wherein transmitting in the payload is " PORT1.0.32.2 1006 ", the function of this FTP instruction is the TCP server address and the port numbers of notice ftp server data link, and waits for that ftp server connects this TCP server.After this data message is delivered to interface module in the base station, address translation module by interface module is carried out address translation, the translation of OAM module's address in the source address is replaced with the outside network address 5.6.7.8 of interface module, carry out protocol translation by the protocol translation module in the interface module subsequently, protocol translation is except to the verification of protocol header and recomputating, also comprise the TCP server address in the payload is carried out steps of translating, the instruction that is about in the payload is rewritten as PORT5.6.7.8 1006.At last, be routed to OMC-R, finish the transmittance process of this message from the source end to destination end by data message through address translation and protocol translation.Note, every step of address translation and protocol translation realizes by interface module among Fig. 4, but example for transmission FTP instruction shown in Figure 4, owing to being translated, the address date in the payload might cause payload length to change, therefore also can replace with the address of interface module by the address that OAM module in the base station relates in directly with payload when OMC-R is sent data message, promptly share the part work of protocol translation, to alleviate the protocol translation work complexity of interface module by the OAM module.Is the step 7 of the inventive method by OMC-R to the process that the OAM module transmits data message, after OMC-R is delivered to interface module with data message, the IP address of this data message is source address 5.6.7.1, destination address 5.6.7.8, carry out address translation and protocol translation by address translation module in the interface module and protocol translation module assignment, destination address after the translation is replaced by the address 1.0.32.2 of OAM module, by interface module data message is passed to the OAM module then.Because the payload content of this data message is CONNECT1006, this information does not relate to address information, so the protocol translation of this data message is simple relatively.The example of Fig. 4 is to transmit the FTP instruction by special operational maintaining channel between base station and the radio operation maintenance centre, the instruction that the relevant base station operation that those skilled in the art can utilize this special operational maintaining channel to transmit any other form is safeguarded.
Should be noted that all any improved methods that does not break away from inventive concept all belong to protection scope of the present invention, the concrete protection range of the present invention is defined by the claims.
