Description

Method and device for matching different versions of function modules between function subsystems
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for matching different versions of function modules between function subsystems.
Background
With the rapid development of mobile communication networks, the number of mobile communication subscribers is also increasing rapidly, and the development of the HLR (Home Location Register) system in the mobile communication network towards a large-capacity and distributed direction has become a development trend of the future mobile communication networks.
Since the distributed HLR system has much higher requirements in terms of user quantity and processing capacity than the conventional HLR system, in the distributed HLR system, the functional subsystem with the same function usually includes a plurality of processing modules, and these processing modules are usually physically separated and geographically distributed at different sites of the distributed HLR, so as to meet the requirements of high performance and high reliability of the distributed HLR. The functional subsystems in the HLR mainly include FE (front end), BE (back end) and Provisioning (acceptance) subsystems. Hereinafter, FE, BE, and Provisioning subsystems are abstractly described as functional subsystems. A plurality of processing modules with the same function included in the same functional subsystem are abstractly described as functional modules.
However, since the different sites of the distributed HLR are geographically relatively independent, the distributed HLR is usually upgraded site by site at different time stages. As shown in fig. 1, the functional module 1 of the functional subsystem 1 and the functional module 1 of the functional subsystem 2 under the site 2 are upgraded to the version 2, while the functional module 1 of the functional subsystem 1 under the site 1 and the functional module 1 of the functional subsystem 2 are not upgraded and are still the version 1, before the functional subsystems of all sites of the distributed HLR are upgraded to the consistent version, there is a case that the functional modules of different functional subsystems have mutual access, in fig. 1, the access numbered 1 belongs to the access between the functional modules of the same version, and the access numbered 2 belongs to the access between the functional modules of different versions, and such mutual access between different versions includes the access of the functional module of the lower version to the functional module of the higher version (the functional module 1 of the version 1 of the functional subsystem 2 under the site 1 in fig. 1 accesses the functional module 1 of the version 2 of the functional subsystem 1 under the site 2), and the high-version function module accesses the low-version function module (the function module 1 of version 2 of the function subsystem 2 under the site 2 in fig. 1 accesses the function module 1 of version 1 of the function subsystem 1 under the site 1). For this situation, a common implementation manner considers compatibility processing for each version of each functional subsystem, but the compatibility processing is usually expressed as high-version compatible low-version, and low-version compatible high-version is difficult to implement (either modifying codes of the low-version or adding special processing when the high-version accesses the low-version), which often results in sacrificing some incompatible services for ensuring success rate when functional modules of different versions access each other, or sacrificing some success rate when incompatible for ensuring service integrity.

Detailed Description
In the distributed HLR system, a plurality of functional subsystems need to generate information interaction. Due to the distributed nature, when upgrading the distributed HLR, it is usually upgraded in stages, so that there are several function modules with different versions in each function subsystem, and these function modules have similar functions but different service support capabilities. In this way, before all the functional modules of the functional subsystems of the distributed HLR are upgraded to the latest version, mutual access between the sub-modules of the subsystems of different versions is inevitable, and in this case, it is likely that the processing of the system fails due to insufficient processing capability of the modules of the high version accessing the modules of the low version.
In view of the foregoing problems in the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for compatible processing of different versions of function modules between function subsystems, the core idea of the method is that, according to the obtained version information of each function module in the local function subsystem and/or other function subsystems in a distributed network, when a service request is initiated to a function module of another function subsystem or a service request is received, the service request is sent to a function module with a version capability matched with that of the function module, so as to process the service request, thereby ensuring the integrity of the system service processing to the maximum extent when the function subsystems of different versions interact.
Based on the core thought, the invention provides a method for matching different versions of function modules among function subsystems, which specifically adopts the following technical scheme:
the method comprises the steps that a functional module in a functional subsystem of a distributed system obtains version information of other functional modules in the functional subsystem and/or version information of the functional modules in other functional subsystems in the distributed system;
when service interaction is carried out among the functional modules of different functional subsystems, the service request is sent to the functional module matched with the version information of the service request for processing according to the version information of the initiated or received service request.
Further, the method specifically comprises:
the method comprises the steps that a functional module in a functional subsystem of the distributed system obtains version information of each functional module in other functional subsystems of the distributed system;
when a functional module in the functional subsystem initiates a service request to other functional subsystems, the service request is sent to the functional module matched with the version information of the service request in the other functional subsystems for processing according to the acquired version information of each functional module in the other functional subsystems.
Further, the method further comprises:
the method comprises the steps that a functional module in a functional subsystem of the distributed system obtains version information of other functional modules in the functional subsystem;
and if the version information of the functional module in the other functional subsystems is changed after the functional module in the functional subsystem initiates the service request, and the changed version information is lower than the version information of the service request, forwarding the service request to other functional modules matched with the version information of the service request in the functional subsystem for processing according to the acquired version information of other functional modules in the functional subsystem.
Further, the method specifically comprises:
the method comprises the steps that a functional module in a functional subsystem of the distributed system obtains version information of other functional modules in the functional subsystem;
when a functional module in the functional subsystem receives a service request, if the version information is lower than that of the service request, the service request is forwarded to other functional modules matched with the version information of the service request in the functional subsystem for processing according to the acquired version information of other functional modules in the functional subsystem.
Further, the functional module matched with the version information of the service request refers to:
and the version information is consistent with or higher than that of the service request.
Further, the functional module of the functional subsystem obtains version information of each other functional module in the functional subsystem and/or version information of each functional module in each other functional subsystem in the distributed system by the following method:
1) configuring version information of each functional module in a network management set, wherein each functional module acquires the version information through the network management;
2) the functional modules inside the functional subsystems and among the functional subsystems regularly acquire the version information of other functional modules (specifically, the version information of other functional modules can be acquired through internally defined messages), and when the version information of a certain functional module changes, the other functional modules are notified in a broadcast manner;
the information of all other modules is not necessarily acquired first, and the two modes can be mutually supplemented, so that when the information is acquired at regular time, the time length setting of the timer may not be timely, and the point can be well compensated by the mode of broadcasting the notification after the change, so that the state switching is more timely.
3) And setting a centralized monitoring center, reporting the version information of the functional module to the monitoring center at regular time by the functional modules of the functional subsystems, actively reporting the version information to the monitoring center when the version information of a certain functional module is changed, and broadcasting and informing all the functional modules of the reported and changed version information by the monitoring center.
Further, the above-mentioned type 3 can be realized by the following two methods: firstly, each functional module is acquired from a monitoring center at regular time, and the monitoring center broadcasts a notice to all the functional modules when receiving the version information of a certain functional module; secondly, the monitoring center broadcasts the version information of each functional module to all the functional modules at regular time, and when the version information of a certain functional module changes, the monitoring center broadcasts a notice to all the functional modules.
When the above-mentioned manner 3 is adopted, for a plurality of sites of the distributed HLR, one monitoring center may be deployed at each site, and the monitoring center of each site is responsible for monitoring the version information of the function module of each function subsystem of the site, exchanging the version information with the monitoring centers of other sites, and actively broadcasting the version information to notify the other monitoring centers of the change of the version information of the function module of the site.
For the convenience of describing the present invention, the following detailed description will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
Example one
In this embodiment, each functional module of each functional subsystem does not care about the version information of the functional module in other functional subsystems, but only care about the version information of other functional modules in the same functional subsystem, and the processing of the functional module of each functional subsystem when interacting with the functional module of other functional subsystems is specifically: when a certain function module a2 of the function subsystem a sends a message to a certain function module B1 of the function subsystem B, and B1 cannot process the request due to the lower version, B1 forwards the request to a function module B2 in the same function subsystem that has the capability of processing the request, after function module B2 processes the request, the processing result is returned to B1, and B1 returns the processing result to a 2.
Referring to fig. 2, the processing flow of the embodiment is specifically described as follows:
step 201, the function module a2 of version 2 sends a request to the function module B1 of version 1;
in step 202, function module B1 finds that its version is insufficient to handle the request from function module a2, function module B1 forwards the request to function module B2, which is capable of handling the request;
step 203, the function module B2 finds itself capable of processing the received request, processes the request, and returns the processing result to the function module B1;
in step 204, function Block B1 returns the results of the processing to function Block A2
In order to ensure that the function module B2 can return the response message to the function module a2 in the original route, the function module a2 adds information capable of identifying the address of the function module a2 to the request sent to the function module B1, and the function module B1 superimposes information capable of identifying the address of the function module a2 on the request forwarded to the function module B2 (superimposes the information on the address information of the function module a2 already existing in the message), that is, when each function module sends the request message to the next function module, the identifier capable of identifying the address information of the function module B is superimposed on the address information already in the message, so that the route information of all the function modules forwarding messages before is stored in the request message received by the last function module B2. Similarly, B2 returns a response message to B1 according to the address of the last function module in the routing information, where the message carries the routing information carried in the request message, B1 knows from the routing information that the response message should be returned to a2, B1 removes the address information of B1 in the routing information and then forwards the response message to a2, that is, each function module deletes the identifier capable of identifying its own address information from the routing information when sending the response message to the next function module. The request message and the response message can be distinguished by the event number or the identifier in the message body, so that each functional module can know whether the address information of the functional module needs to be added into the routing information or deleted.
Example two
In this embodiment, each functional module of each functional subsystem does not care about the version information of the functional module in other functional subsystems, but only care about the version information of other functional modules in the same functional subsystem, and the processing of the functional module of each functional subsystem when interacting with the functional module of other functional subsystems is specifically: when a certain function module a2 of the function subsystem a sends a message to a certain function module B1 of the function subsystem B, and B1 cannot process the request due to the lower version, B1 forwards the request to a function module B2 in the same function subsystem that has the capability of processing the request, and after the function module B2 processes the request, the processing result is directly returned to a 2.
Referring to fig. 3, the processing flow of the embodiment is specifically described as follows:
step 301, the function module a2 of version 2 sends a request to the function module B1 of version 1;
in step 302, function module B1 finds that its version is insufficient to handle the request from function module a2, function module B1 forwards the request to function module B2, which is capable of handling the request;
in step 303, the function block B2 finds itself capable of processing the received request, processes the request, and returns the processing result directly to the function block a 2.
The main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is a path for returning a response message, in order to ensure that the function module B2 can return the response message to the function module a2, the function module a2 may add information capable of identifying the address of the function module a2 in the request sent to the function module B1, and the function module B1 also carries information capable of identifying the address of the function module a2 in the request forwarded to the function module B2, that is, each function module transfers the address information of the sender of the request message to the next recipient, so that the last function module (B2) receives the request message and stores the address information of the message sender a2, and thus directly returns the response message to the function module a2 according to the address information.
EXAMPLE III
In this embodiment, each functional module of each functional subsystem does not care about the version information of other functional modules in the functional system, but only care about the version information of the functional modules in other functional subsystems. The processing of the functional module of each functional subsystem when interacting with the functional modules of other functional subsystems is specifically as follows: when a certain function module a2 of the function subsystem a sends a message to the function subsystem B, the function module a2 selects a function module B2 capable of processing the request, based on the grasped version information of each function module in the function subsystem B.
Referring to fig. 4, the processing flow of the embodiment is specifically described as follows:
step 401, the function module a2 in version 2 sends a request to the function subsystem B, a2 determines that the function module B2 of the function subsystem B can process the request, and sends the request to the function module B2;
in step 402, function block B2 processes the received request and returns the processing result to function block a 2.
Example four
This embodiment is a comprehensive improvement of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, and the main purpose of this improvement is to prevent the target system from being unable to process the received request due to the change of the version information of the target function module after the message is sent out. The main characteristics are that: besides the version information of other functional modules in the functional subsystem, each functional module of each functional subsystem needs to care about the version information of the functional modules in the other functional subsystems. Wherein, the processing of the functional module of each functional subsystem when interacting with the functional modules of other functional subsystems is specifically as follows: when a certain function module A3 of the function subsystem a sends a message to the function subsystem B, the function module A3 selects a function module B2 capable of processing the request according to the grasped version information of each function module in the function subsystem B, and the version of the function module B2 changes after the message is sent by A3, and the message sent by the function module A3 cannot be processed, the function module B2 forwards the request to the function module B3 capable of processing the request in the same function subsystem, and after the function module B3 finishes processing the request, the processing result is returned to B2, and the processing result is returned to A3 by B2.
Referring to fig. 5, the processing flow of the embodiment is specifically described as follows:
step 501, the function module A3 in version 3 sends a request to the function subsystem B, A3 determines that the function module B2 of the function subsystem B can process the request, and sends the request to the function module B2;
in step 502, when receiving the request, the function module B2 finds that it is unable to process the request of the version (the function module B2 switches to version 2 before receiving the request of the function module A3), determines that the function module B3 of version 3 is able to process the request, and forwards the request to the function module B3;
step 503, function module B3 processes the request and returns the request result to function module B2;
at step 504, function module B2 returns the request result to function module A3.
EXAMPLE five
The main difference between this embodiment and the fourth embodiment is the path of the response message. In this embodiment, the processing of the functional module of each functional subsystem when interacting with the functional modules of other functional subsystems is specifically as follows: when a certain function module A3 of the function subsystem a sends a message to the function subsystem B, the function module A3 selects a function module B2 capable of processing the request according to the grasped version information of each function module in the function subsystem B, and the version of the function module B2 changes after the message is sent by A3, and cannot process the message sent by the function module A3, the function module B2 forwards the request to the function module B3 capable of processing the request in the same function subsystem, and the function module B3 directly returns the processing result to A3 after processing the request.
Referring to fig. 6, the processing flow of the embodiment is specifically described as follows:
step 601, the function module A3 in version 3 sends a request to the function subsystem B, A3 determines that the function module B2 of the function subsystem B can process the request, and sends the request to the function module B2;
in step 602, when receiving the request, the function module B2 finds that it is unable to process the request of the version (the function module B2 switches to version 2 before receiving the request of the function module A3), determines that the function module B3 of version 3 is able to process the request, and forwards the request to the function module B3;
at step 603, function block B3 processes the request and returns the request results directly to function block A3.
