The first management unit manages the first network unit. The following describes the first network unit and the first management unit involved in the embodiment of the present application with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a network system according to an embodiment of the present application. The network system is composed of NE, EM unit and NM unit. The network system is divided into three layers according to different network operation functions: NM unit corresponds to the network management layer (NML), which is mainly used by multiple vendors in the entire network ( The operation and maintenance management of multi-vendor and multi-networks technologies are connected to at least one EM unit through a northbound interface; the element management layer (EML) corresponding to the EM unit is mainly used to monitor the entire network. The NE operation and maintenance management of the vendor (single vendor) is connected to at least one NE through a southbound interface; the NE corresponds to the network element layer (NEL), which is used to implement various basic functions in the network (for example, provide users with Communication service), NE is the object of EM unit operation, maintenance and management. In the 3GPP (the 3rd generation partnership project) standard, various integration reference points (IRP) are defined on the northbound interface, such as alarm IRP, configuration management IRP and notification IRP, etc. With these IRPs, the NM unit and the EM unit can transmit alarms, configuration management messages, and other types of notifications on the northbound interface. Correspondingly, an IRP agent (IPRAgent) is defined on the EM unit, and an IRP manager (IRPManager) is defined on the NM unit. Through the IRP agent and IRP manager, it is possible to process alarms, configuration management messages and other types of notifications transmitted on the northbound interface.

Channel control (radio link control, RLC), media access control (media access control, MAC) and physical (physical, PHY) layer functions. Since the information of the RRC layer will eventually become the information of the PHY layer, or be transformed from the information of the PHY layer, under this architecture, high-level signaling, such as RRC layer signaling or PHCP layer signaling, can also be used. It is considered to be sent by DU, or sent by DU+RU. It can be understood that the network device may be a CU node, or a DU node, or a device including a CU node and a DU node.

The network configuration parameter associated with the at least one alarm includes a changed network configuration parameter associated with the at least one alarm and/or an unchanged network configuration parameter associated with the at least one alarm.

In this embodiment, there are multiple ways for the first network unit to determine the first network performance parameter and/or the first network configuration information associated with the at least one alarm. The following examples illustrate:

Manner 1: The first network unit determines the first network performance parameter information and/or first network configuration information associated with the at least one alarm according to the alarm event reporting configuration sent by the first management unit.

This embodiment also includes step 201a, and step 201a is executed before step 201.

Step 201a: The first management unit sends an alarm event reporting configuration to the first network unit; where the alarm event reporting configuration includes at least one of the following information: the identifier of the alarm event, the name of the alarm event, the type of the alarm event, and the first indication Information and a first alarm reporting mode indication, the first indication information is used to indicate the association mode of the at least one alarm with the first network performance parameter and/or first network configuration information, and the first alarm reporting mode indication is used to indicate An alarm event is reported on the first network element.

The first network performance parameter information and/or the first network configuration information.

Then, the time between the radio frequency unit and the baseband processing unit is 9:24:41. Alarms that occur within a preset period of time (for example, within ten minutes after 9:24:41 on September 17, 2019) after the alarm of abnormal transceivers on the interface occurs include the radio unit service unavailability alarm and the radio unit maintenance link abnormality Alarms, where abnormal alarms for receiving and sending of the interface between the radio frequency unit and the baseband processing unit appear repeatedly within the preset time period; and within the preset time period, the cell throughput rate of the base station 1, the cell downlink continuous packet loss rate, The network performance parameters such as the transmission path loss from the radio frequency unit to the baseband processing unit and the transmission path loss from the baseband processing unit to the radio frequency unit are related to the alarms shown in Table 2 in time.

Please refer to FIG. 2E. FIG. 2E is a schematic diagram of another scenario of the information sending method according to an embodiment of the application. FIG. 2D shows the distribution of the transmission path loss between the radio frequency unit and the baseband processing unit within the preset time period. In the time period corresponding to the dashed box in 2D, the transmission path loss between the radio frequency unit and the baseband processing unit is relatively large (the transmission path loss between the radio frequency unit and the baseband processing unit in the time period corresponding to the dashed box in Figure 2D Is greater than the preset threshold of the transmission path loss between the radio frequency unit and the baseband processing unit), then the first network performance parameter may include the measured value when the transmission path loss between the radio frequency unit and the baseband processing unit is abnormal, and the The time point when the transmission path loss between the radio frequency unit and the baseband processing unit is abnormal, and the duration of the abnormal transmission path loss between the radio frequency unit and the baseband processing unit, etc.;

Please refer to FIG. 2F. FIG. 2F is a schematic diagram of another scenario of the information sending method according to the embodiment of the application. FIG. 2E shows the distribution of the transmission path loss from the baseband processing unit to the radio frequency unit within the preset time period. In FIG. 2E In the time period corresponding to the dashed box, the transmission path loss between the baseband processing unit and the radio frequency unit is relatively large (in the time period corresponding to the dashed box in Figure 2E, the transmission path loss between the baseband processing unit and the radio frequency unit is greater than that of the baseband The preset threshold value of the transmission path loss between the processing unit and the radio frequency unit), then the first network performance parameter information includes the measured value when the transmission path loss from the baseband processing unit to the radio frequency unit is abnormal, and the baseband processing unit to the The time point when the transmission path loss of the radio frequency unit is abnormal and the duration of the abnormal transmission path loss from the baseband processing unit to the radio frequency unit.

It should be noted that the experimental data shown in Figures 2C to 2F above are all related to the alarms shown in Table 2 and abnormal network performance parameters occur, and within the preset time period, the transmission power and radio frequency of the baseband processing unit If the transmission power of the unit is not abnormal, the first network performance parameter information may also carry the measured value of the transmission power of the baseband processing unit and the measured value of the transmission power of the radio frequency unit, etc., that is, the first network performance parameter information also It can carry information about network performance parameters that are not abnormal.

Example 2: As can be seen from Table 3, an abnormal transmission optical interface alarm occurred on the alarm source (base station 2) at 9:31:18 on August 21, 2019, and a base station occurred on the base station 2 at 9:32:22 on August 21, 2019 2 S1 control plane transmission interruption alarm, and at 9:29:15 on August 21, 2019, the local user side modified the configuration of base station 2; it can be seen that the preset after 9:25 on August 21, 2019 Within a period of time (for example, within ten minutes after 9:25 on August 21, 2019), the first network configuration information associated with the transmission optical interface abnormal alarm and the transmission optical interface abnormal alarm in time includes the base station 2 The configuration change information includes the configuration value of the changed network configuration parameter and the time when the configuration change occurs.

2. The first indication information indicates the topology association mode, the first network unit determines the topology association mode according to the first indication information, and determines the target association algorithm according to the topology association mode, and then determines the at least one alarm to be associated according to the target association algorithm The first network performance parameter information and/or the first network configuration information.

Example 3: As shown in Figure 2G, base station 1 and base station 2 are neighboring cell base stations, and base station 1 and base station 2 are connected through an Xn interface. In the configuration operation of the Xn interface, the Xn application protocol layer (Xn application protocol, XnAP) was incorrectly configured, which caused the Xn interface failure alarm to be generated. It can be seen from the topological connection relationship shown in Figure 2G that the base station 1 and the base station 2 are associated through the Xn interface, so the first network unit can associate the network performance parameters of the base station 1 and the base station 2 related to the Xn interface (including The abnormal network performance parameters and/or the non-abnormal network performance parameters) are associated, and the network configuration information of the Xn interface (including the changed network configuration information), for example, the first network performance parameter information includes base station 1 and The measured value after the handover success rate of base station 2 is reduced, the measured value after the interference between base station 1 and base station 2 increases, the change of the average user throughput rate of base station 1 and base station 2 (including the measurement after the average user throughput rate decreases Value and the time when the average throughput of the user changes), the first network configuration information includes the XnAP protocol layer configuration information of the Xn interface.

3. The first indication information indicates the historical alarm data association method. The first network unit determines the historical alarm data association method according to the first indication information, and determines the target association algorithm according to the historical alarm data association method, and then determines the association method according to the target association algorithm. The first network performance parameter information and/or the first network configuration information associated with the at least one alarm.

Example 4: The first network unit determines the frequent item mining algorithm according to the historical data association mode, where the frequent item mining algorithm includes input parameters (for example, a time sliding window) and output parameters (for example, the correlation coefficient between at least one alarm) , The user can set the length of the time sliding window and the correlation coefficient between the alarms as output parameters, and set the amplitude of each sliding of the time sliding window, for example, the time sliding window is 10 minutes in length, each time The sliding amplitude is 1 minute.

Then, the first network unit uses the time sliding window method, the frequent item mining algorithm and historical alarm data to determine the association relationship between the alarm and the network performance parameter information and/or network configuration information, for example, the first time sliding window The start time of is 9:20 on August 22, 2019, the end time of the first time sliding window is 9:30, August 22, 2019, and the second time sliding window is August 22, 2019 9:21, the end time of the second time sliding window is 9:31 on August 22, 2019. If you slide down by this, the first network unit can determine the alarms that occur in each time sliding window. 11 time sliding windows The alarms shown in Table 5 occurred between 9:30 on August 22, 2019 and 9:40 on August 22, 2019. According to the historical alarm data that occurred in the above multiple time sliding windows, the first A network determines that the alarms shown in Table 5 frequently occur within the same time sliding window, and the alarms shown in Table 5 and the abnormal reporting of the success rate of S1 interface handover and the abnormal reporting of the success rate of S1 interface establishment frequently occur at the same time Within the sliding window; then, the first network unit can determine the success rate of the alarm associated S1 interface switching and the success rate of the S1 interface establishment shown in Table 5.

It should be noted that in the sliding process of the time sliding window, with the generation of new alarm data and the accumulation of historical alarm data, the relationship between the alarms analyzed by the first network unit and the network performance parameter information and network configuration information Also changed.

table 5

It should be noted that the foregoing description of the process for the first network unit to determine the first network performance parameter information and/or the first network configuration information associated with the at least one alarm is described in combination with each association method. In the actual application process, the first network unit The association may be performed in combination with at least one of the above-mentioned association manners, which is not specifically limited in this application, and the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application. In example four, the first network unit may set a time sliding window, and determine the first network performance parameter information and/or first network configuration information associated with the at least one alarm in combination with historical alarm data, that is, the example four combines The relationship between alarms and network performance parameters and/or network configuration information in time. At the same time, it also combines historical alarm data to determine the relationship between alarms and network performance parameters and/or network configuration information. This can more accurately determine the relationship between the alarm and network performance parameters and/or network configuration information. The first network performance parameter and the first network configuration information associated with an alarm.

Manner 2: The first network unit determines the first network performance parameter information and/or the first network configuration information associated with the at least one alarm according to a preset correlation manner.

The preset association manner may be preset by the first management unit for the first network unit, or may be specified by the communication protocol, which is not specifically limited in this application. For an example in which the first network unit determines the first network performance parameter information and/or the first network configuration information associated with the at least one alarm in combination with the corresponding association manner, please refer to the relevant example in step 201c.

In this embodiment, the first network performance parameter information may include a collection of multiple network performance parameter information associated with the at least one alarm, and the first network configuration information may include a collection of multiple network configuration information associated with the at least one alarm. . For example, from the above example one, it can be seen that the first network performance parameter information associated with the module between the radio frequency unit and the baseband processing unit sends and receives abnormal alarms, radio frequency unit service unavailability alarms, and radio frequency unit maintenance link abnormal alarms may include base station 1 Information about abnormal network performance parameters such as cell throughput rate, cell downlink continuous packet loss rate, transmission path loss from the radio frequency unit to the baseband processing unit, and transmission path loss from the baseband processing unit to the radio frequency unit.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first network performance parameter and/or first network configuration information associated with the at least one alarm refers to the same network performance parameter information and/or the same network configuration information associated with the multiple alarms information. For example, from the above example four, it can be seen that user plane bearer link failure alarms, user plane failure alarms, S1 interface failure alarms, and cell unavailability alarms are all associated with abnormal networks such as the handover success rate of the S1 interface and the success rate of the S1 interface establishment. Information about performance parameters, that is, multiple alarms are associated with the same piece of network performance parameter information. For another example, it can be seen from the above example two that both the transmission optical interface abnormality alarm and the transmission optical interface abnormality alarm are associated with the changed network configuration information of the base station 2. The changed configuration information includes the configuration value of the changed network configuration parameter and the occurrence of the changed configuration Time and so on.

Optionally, there is an association between each alarm included in the at least one alarm; then, this embodiment further includes step 201d. The step 201d is: the first network unit determines the at least one alarm, and the at least one alarm includes There is an association between each alarm of, and there are many specific ways to determine it.

It can be determined that the alarm shown in Example 1 is caused by a fiber problem.

Therefore, the first management unit may combine the first network performance parameter information and/or the first network configuration information reported by the alarm event between the baseband processing unit and the radio frequency unit to determine that the occurrence of these alarms is mainly between the baseband processing unit and the radio frequency unit. And instruct the maintenance personnel to repair or replace the optical fiber, and then send the second indication information to the first network unit to indicate the fault handling operation for the transmission failure alarm event between the baseband processing unit and the radio frequency unit.

For another example, in the third example above, the user incorrectly configures the XnAP protocol layer on the Xn interface, then the first management unit can instruct the maintenance personnel to modify the configuration of the Xn interface, and then send the second instruction to the first network unit Information to indicate the fault handling operation for the Xn interface fault alarm event.

302. The first management unit sends second indication information to the first network unit.

303. The first network unit executes a corresponding fault processing operation according to the second instruction information, and obtains a fault recovery result.

Specifically, in combination with the above example 1, after the maintenance personnel repair or replace the optical fiber, the first network unit detects the cell throughput rate, the cell downlink continuous packet loss rate, the transmission path loss between the radio frequency unit and the baseband processing unit, and the baseband Whether the network performance parameters such as the transmission path loss from the processing unit to the radio frequency unit are restored to normal, obtain the restoration status of these network performance parameters.

For another example, combining the above example three, after the maintenance personnel modify the configuration of the Xn interface, the first network element unit can detect the handover success rate of the base station 1 and the base station 2 and the average user throughput rate to obtain these network performance parameters The recovery situation.

304. The first network unit sends an alarm event repair notification to the first management unit.

The alarm event repair notification is used to notify the first management unit of the failure recovery situation corresponding to the alarm event, and the alarm event modification notification carries the failure recovery result.

305. The first network unit updates the target association algorithm according to the failure recovery result.

For example, in combination with the above example 4, after determining the frequent item mining algorithm, the first network unit sets ten minutes as the length of the time sliding window. If the alarm shown in Table 5 is determined according to the failure recovery result, the first network unit determines The cell unavailability alarm has not been resolved, but the user plane bearer link failure alarm, user plane failure alarm, and S1 interface failure alarm have been resolved after troubleshooting, then the cell unavailability alarm may not have much correlation with the previous three alarms. Then the first network unit can reduce the length of the time sliding window to five minutes.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first network unit may execute the corresponding fault handling operation according to the second instruction information issued by the first management unit, and then the first network unit adjusts the target association algorithm according to the failure recovery result, so that in the subsequent The first network unit can more accurately determine the network performance parameter information and/or network configuration information associated with the alarm, and report the alarm event to the first management unit, which is beneficial to the first management unit to locate the fault more quickly based on the alarm event .
