Description

Many self-organized network managements method and apparatus

Technical field

The present invention relates to the telecommunication administration field, relate in particular to the many self-organized network managements method and apparatus in a kind of mobile communications network.

Background technology

In mobile communications network, after network architecture flattening, the quantity of base station is more and more huger, and the data of the required processing in base station are more and more, cause complexity, the management cost of network management to rise to the intolerable degree of Virtual network operator.For this reason, at first self-organizing network (SON) function is introduced and research in the LTE network, progressively expands to afterwards household base station network, and UMTS/CDMA even also introduces the SON concept in the 2G network.

The SON function specifically is divided into self-configuring, self-optimizing and self-healing function.Self-configuring comprises that base station powers up rear automatic downloading software version, radio configuration data and transmission configuration data, final normal operation, namely what is often called plug and play.Self-optimizing comprises Automatic Optimal Neighboring Cell List, automatic switchover optimization, automatic load balancing, automatic capacity and coverage optimization, automatic interference optimization etc.Self-healing mainly refers to that base station mis repair occurs after the soft and hardware fault automatically or is switched on standby hardware.At present SON function management divides that NMS is centralized, EMS is centralized and distributed three kinds, and its corresponding network management framework is Network Element Layer, NE management layer (EML), NML (NML) from bottom to top.Be specially:

NMS is centralized: the SON decision point is at NML, carries out the SON decision-making after collecting other pertinent system information or lower floor's relevant information by NMS, triggers Network Element Layer and carries out related command.

EMS is centralized: the SON decision point, at NE management layer, is collected the information of reported by network elements and is carried out the SON decision-making by EMS.Under this mode, can customize in advance the SON strategy by operator, should be at EMS but whether start the decision point of SON function.

Distributed: the SON decision point is at network element, and the information of being collected according to self by network element is carried out the SON decision-making.Equally, under this sample loading mode, can customize in advance the SON strategy by operator, should be at network element but whether start the decision point of SON function.

Existing many networks SON management framework as shown in Figure 1.Because the real-time that NMS is centralized is poor, the centralized decision-making of SON at present is mostly at EMS, but the coordination of the SON between different EMS, still at NMS, reason is not have effective interface between current different EMS, can share the information of the required external system of SON decision-making.But, by NMS, coordinate still can't solve real time problems, thus in fact infeasible.Between this different EMS, coordination problem under many network scenarios is particularly outstanding.Such as, at two networks (referring to respectively by two EMS A the network of EMS B management), when handover optimization is carried out in border district, base station or community wireless parameter that under existing mechanism, EMS A has revised in this management domain can't another EMS B of proactive notification.Therefore, although the external cell of EMS B remains with the switching-related parameters of corresponding EMS A community, can't guarantee its accuracy, so EMS can't carry out the self-optimizing decision-making according to retained external cell parameter.In addition, the base station X2 interface between two networks can't be set up automatically, is specially in EMS A management domain behind a newly-increased base station, and it need to set up X2 interface with the external base station of adjacency, but can't obtain, sets up the required associated external base station configuration information of X2 interface.To sum up, can't share SON information between the different EMS under many networks.
