Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a schematic overall configuration diagram of a WiBro network to which a WiBro network management system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is applied.

The WiBro network according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a network management system 100, an information provider network 200, a communication service provider network 300, and a user terminal 400.

The network management system 100 stores network performance information and performance item information, and dynamically displays performance information on a screen by driving an operation program using the performance item information. To this end, the network management system 100 includes an operator terminal 110, a control server 120, and a database 130.

The operator terminal 110 transmits a signal for requesting performance item information to the control server 120 by driving the operation program, and when the performance item information is received from the control server 120, the performance information is dynamically converted using the performance item information. To display on the screen.

When the control server 120 receives the capability item information request signal from the operator terminal 110, the control server 120 inquires the content of the capability item information stored in the database 130 and transmits the result to the operator terminal 110.

The database 130 stores the performance item information table as shown in Table 1 below.

'Performance Item Name' in Table 1 means a name of a performance item to be monitored and managed, and 'Performance Item Code' is a value obtained by encoding a performance item name. 'Use of performance items' classifies the targets to be actually monitored and managed among 'performance items' and 'threshold items' classifies target items of performance items. 'Threshold' refers to the threshold value by grade (CR, MA, MI) so that the threshold exceeded alarm can be generated when collecting each performance item, and 'Performance value unit' means the performance value unit of each performance item. The 'minimum performance value' is the minimum value to be displayed on the Y axis of the operation graph screen for each performance item, and the 'maximum performance value' is the maximum value to be displayed on the Y axis of the operation graph screen for each performance item.

Meanwhile, the information provider network 200 has a structure in which a content provider 210, an information provider 220, a home network 230, and a bank 240 interoperate with each other through an internet network 250, and a communication service. The operator network 300 includes a control station 310 for controlling access to the internet network 250, and a plurality of base stations 320 for wireless internet access.

The user terminal 400 may be implemented as a notebook 410 and a multimedia terminal 420, and may receive services such as games, movies, telematics, and education through the high-speed wireless Internet provided by the telecommunications carrier network 300. have.

Hereinafter, a method of displaying performance item information using a database of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

First, the control server 120 generates a performance item information table including the performance item information for displaying the performance item information of the WiBro network as shown in Table 1 (S101). At this time, the controller 130 generates a schema of the database 130 to store the performance item information in consideration of the characteristics of the WiBro network. At this time, the database schema means attribute information such as storage area and storage size of the database.

Thereafter, the database 130 performs performance items such as performance management items and thresholds for displaying the performance item information required for the network operation and monitoring policy on the screen of the display unit 120 in the database schema generated under the control of the control server 120. The information table is stored (S102).

On the other hand, the operator terminal 110 drives the operating program (S103), and requests the performance item information to the control server 120 (S104). At this time, the operator terminal 110 sends the operation request signal, the operator ID, and operation IP information to the control server 120, as shown in Table 2 below to request the performance item information.

The table of Table 2 indicates a data format for the operator terminal 110 to request the performance item information to the control server 120, each item has the following meaning.

First, the 'type of data' is a value representing the type of data exchanged between the operator terminal 110 and the control server 120, and the 'data type' is a type of data transmitted and received between the operation and the server, The number of data refers to the number of data by type, and the importance of data is to distinguish whether the data is essential or optional information. 'M' means essential information and 'O' means optional information. . 'Variable name' means a variable name for mutual recognition between the operator terminal 110 and the control server 120, 'description' means a description of each declared data type and variable name.

In response to the performance item information request, the control server 120 queries the database 130 and retrieves a corresponding performance item information table (S105). Thereafter, when the retrieved performance item information is applied to the control server 120 (S106), the control server 120 transmits the performance item information to the operator terminal 110 (S107). In this case, the performance item information applied to the operator terminal 110 by the control server 120 is shown in Table 3 below.

The table of Table 3 refers to a data format for the control server 120 to deliver the performance item information to the operator terminal 110, each item is the same as Table 2, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Accordingly, the operator terminal 110 to dynamically display the received performance item information as shown in Figure 4a and 4b (S108).

Meanwhile, when a change in performance item information occurs due to network expansion during network operation, a method of managing performance item information of the network management system will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

That is, when a change request of the performance item information is generated (S201), the control server 120 changes the performance item information of the database 130 (S202). For example, in Table 1, when it is necessary to change the performance minimum value "A0" of the performance item name "A" to "A1", the control server 120 changes the performance minimum value "A0" stored in the database 130 to "A1". Change it.

Thereafter, the control server 120 determines whether there is a request for the performance item information from the operator terminal 110 (S203), and transmits the changed performance item information to the operator terminal 110 when the request for the performance item information is requested. (S204).

Accordingly, the operator terminal 110 dynamically displays the performance information as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B using the performance item information (S205).

4A illustrates an example in which the performance item information of the performance item name 'A' of Table 1 is displayed on the screen. According to Table 1, the performance item name 'A' indicates whether the performance item is used as 'Y' and the threshold item is 'Y', and the threshold is classified into grades A60 ~ A80, and the performance value unit is '℃'. The minimum value is 'A0' and the performance maximum is 'A100'. Accordingly, a graph showing the performance item information as shown in FIG. 4A is shown through the display unit 120.

4B shows an example in which the performance item information of the performance item 'C' of Table 1 is displayed on the screen. According to Table 1, the performance item 'C' indicates whether the performance item is used as' Y 'and the threshold item is' N ', the performance value unit is number (CNT), the minimum performance value is' C0' and the maximum performance value is' C1000 '. Accordingly, a graph showing the performance item information as shown in FIG. 4B is shown through the display unit 120. Here, the performance item 'C' is not classified by the threshold level because the threshold item is 'N'.

As such, when the change of the performance item information due to the change of the network operation and monitoring policy occurs during operation, the present invention drives the operation program by using the stored performance item information that is changed and stored in the database 130 without modification of the operation program source.

In the present invention as described above, when changing the network operation and monitoring policy, the performance item information when changing the network size, by changing the performance item information stored in the database without modification of the operation program, changing the network operation and monitoring policy, network size change The city can flexibly cope with it without incurring additional development costs.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be modified and modified within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention, such modifications and changes should be regarded as belonging to the following claims. will be.
