Short message sending module 152 is used to send SMS message, and comprises that timed sending detects short message, with alarm result, call loss report short message notification keeper.
Please refer to Fig. 2, the present invention realizes that by short message the method for network element monitoring may further comprise the steps:
201, the call loss acquisition subsystem is handled the failure short message, and collects its call loss reason, notifies the call-loss analysis subsystem with image data;
202, the call-loss analysis subsystem is saved in the call loss information database with it after receiving call loss information, regularly carries out statistical analysis, again analysis result is saved in the call loss information database, and notification analysis report subsystem and alarm subsystem;
203, after the analysis report subsystem receives analysis result, analyze further, define fault or weak network element, generates new analysis result and show, can adopt the graph mode demonstration;
Can be in this step according to configuration information, generate with minute, day, week, month, year be the network element granularity call loss statistics of unit.
204, after the alarm subsystem receives analysis result, compare, judge whether and to alarm that alarm is then changeed next step as need, otherwise enters step 206 with alarm conditions;
205, alarm subsystem record alarm log generates the alarm message breath, the notice maintenance subsystem;
206, maintenance subsystem sends short messages to keeper's mobile phone according to configuration information, notifies the running status of its each network element, and this short message comprises alarm information and call loss report message.
As shown in Figure 3, present embodiment adopts short message to monitor the network element of wireless system.Wherein, MAP-MO-FORWARD-SM, MAP-SRI, four signalings of MAP-MT-FORWARD-SM, MAP-PROVIDE-SUBSCRIBER-INFO are MAP (MAP) signaling of standard.
Signaling process is in detail:
301, source VMSC (Visited Mobile Switching Center) submits to short message to SMSC (Short Message Service Center) by the MAP-MO-FORWARD-SM signaling.
Shift the short message that moving equipment is initiated before the MAP-MO-FORWARD-SM signaling is used for, be written as entirely: MAP-MO-FORWARD-SHORT-MESSAGE.
302, SMSC returns the short message original calling response message to VMSC.
303, SMSC exhales route by the MAP-SRI signaling eventually to HLR (attaching position register) request.
The MAP-SRI signaling is written as entirely: MAP-SEND-ROUTING-INFO-FOR-SM, and in order to retrieve the routing iinformation that short message is sent to purpose user place MSC.
304, HLR returns and exhales route response message eventually.
305, SMSC exhales short message eventually by the MAP-MT-FORWARD-SM signaling.
Change short message before the MAP-MT-FORWARD-SM signaling is used for to mobile device, be written as entirely: MAP-MT-FORWARD-SHORT-MESSAGE.
306, SMSC receives the SMS terminal call result, if exhale failure, the error code that comprises in the response message to reflect the error message of fault network element eventually, adopts said method that the whole call loss information among the result of exhaling is analyzed.If show in the call loss information that call loss is former in the wireless device fault, and need further location LA (lane place) and CELL (sub-district), then change next step, if do not need further location, then end.
307, SMSC positions by the MAP-PROVIDE-SUBSCRIBER-Info signaling.
The MAP-PROVIDE-SUBSCRIBER-INFO signaling is used for inquiring about the more specific location information of travelling carriage, comprises lane place and sub-district.
308, the SMSC wireless device positioning result that acquisition is broken down according to response message.
Below, by following traffic model the influence that wireless net member method for supervising of the present invention brings is analyzed:
(1) traffic carrying capacity: N bar short message;
(2) call failure rate (percentage): R1 first;
(3) deliver in the failure proportion (percentage) that wireless reason is shared: R2.
According to above model, can calculate the amount of information that to carry out zone location and be: N*R1*R2.
In the method, when not needing to carry out zone location, short message needs 3 signalings (being respectively MO, SRI and MT); Need 4 signalings when carrying out zone location, increased a MAP-PROVIDE-SUBSCRIBER-Info signaling.Load is calculated as follows:
Do not need to carry out the flow process load of zone location: 3*N;
The flow process that network element monitoring need be located is loaded: 3*N* (1-R1*R2)+4*N*R1*R2;
The load that increases is: 3*N* (1-R1*R2)+4*N*R1*R2-3*N=N*R1*R2;
The load ratio that increases is: N*R1*R2/N=R1*R2;
For example: R1=30%, R2=66.7%, then load increases to 6%.
Because short message service is to build according to the capacity of heavy traffic period, network capacity leaves bigger free space at ordinary times, uses so these free spaces can be used for carrying out the network element monitors project.In peak period festivals or holidays, can close the operation of network element monitors by a system switching (software setting of equipment vendor).
To sum up, the present invention can be applicable to GSM network (global system for mobile communications), cdma network (CDMA network) and PCS network (personal communication services (PCS) system), utilize the attribute of short message service, call loss information to the failure short message is carried out statistical analysis, realized real-time monitoring, had the advantage that the monitoring statistics is concentrated, efficient is high, maintenance cost is low network element in the communication system.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, not in order to restriction the present invention, all any modifications of being done within the spirit and principles in the present invention, is equal to and replaces and improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
