In addition, the base station 30 of the second communication system may be a GSM base station, and the core network 50 of the second communication system may be a GSM core network.
Specifically, the multimode local gateway 10 may be configured to receive a data packet sent from a base station, and if it is determined by a destination IP address of the data packet that the data packet is from the base station of the first communication system, the multimode local gateway 10 sends the processed data packet to a core network of the first communication system; if it is determined by the destination IP address of the packet that the packet is from the base station of the second communication system, the multimode home gateway 10 transmits the processed packet to the core network of the second communication system.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the multimode home gateway 10 may include an operation and maintenance client 11, an OAM entity 12, and a SON entity 13, where the operation and maintenance client 11, the OAM entity 12, and the SON entity 13 form a system for implementing SON.

Specifically, if the communication system of the base station to be configured is the first communication system, the OAM entity sends configuration information to the SON entity 13 of the first communication system. If the communication system of the base station to be configured is the second communication system, the OAM entity sends configuration information to the SON entity 13 of the second communication system. If the base station to be configured includes the base station of the first communication system and the base station of the second communication system, the OAM entity sends configuration information to the SON entity 13 of the second communication system, and sends configuration information to the SON entity 13 of the first communication system and the SON entity of the second communication system, respectively.
In step 303, the son entity sends the configuration information to the base station corresponding to the identifier.
It should be noted that, the SON entity stores the identifier of the base station, the correspondence table of the base station, and the correspondence table between the main base station and the neighboring base stations in advance, so that the SON entity can send the configuration information to the base station corresponding to the identifier according to the identifier of the base station in the configuration information, and when the configuration information of the base station to be configured is related to other base stations, the SON entity sends the configuration information to the base station related to the configuration information.

Generally, the configuration information includes an identification of the base station, parameter information of the base station, and the like.
In step 402, after receiving the configuration information, the oam entity determines the SON entity corresponding to the communication system of the base station to be configured. For example, if the base station to be configured is a TD-LTE base station, the SON entity is a SON entity corresponding to the TD-LTE; and if the base station to be configured is a GSM base station, the SON entity is a SON entity corresponding to the GSM.
In step 403a, if the base station to be configured is a TD-LTE base station, the OAM sends the configuration information to the SON entity corresponding to the TD-LTE.
And step 404a, after receiving the configuration information, the SON entity corresponding to the TD-LTE sends the configuration information to the base station corresponding to the TD-LTE.
In step 403b, if the base station to be configured is a GSM base station, the OAM sends the configuration information to the SON entity corresponding to the GSM.

Generally, the configuration information includes an identification of the base station, parameter information of the base station, and the like.
Step 502, after receiving the configuration information, the oam entity determines the SON entity corresponding to the communication system of the base station to be configured. For example, if the base station to be configured is a TD-LTE base station, the SON entity is a SON entity corresponding to the TD-LTE; the base station to be configured is an SCDMA base station, and the SON entity is an SON entity corresponding to the SCDMA.
In step 503a, if the base station to be configured is a TD-LTE base station, the OAM sends the configuration information to the SON entity corresponding to the TD-LTE.
Step 504a, after receiving the configuration information, the SON entity corresponding to the TD-LTE sends the configuration information to the base station corresponding to the TD-LTE.
In step 503b, if the base station to be configured is a SCDMA base station, the OAM sends the configuration information to the SON entity corresponding to SCDMA.
Step 504b, after receiving the configuration information, the SON entity corresponding to SCDMA sends the configuration information to the base station corresponding to SCDMA.
The method for implementing SON according to the embodiment of the present application is further systematically described with reference to fig. 4C, and specific steps are as follows.
And step 601a, the TD-LTE base station monitors neighbor cells and PCI information and reports the monitoring result to an OAM entity.
And step 601b, the GSM base station or the SCDMA base station monitors neighbor cell and PCI information and reports the monitoring result to the OAM entity.
In step 602, the oam entity executes ANR (Automatic NeighbourRelation) an auto-neighbor relation self-configuration algorithm and reports the processing result to the operation and maintenance client in the local controller.
And step 604, the operation maintenance client updates the database according to the processing result and triggers PCI self-configuration.
In step 605, the operation and maintenance client sends the configuration information to the OAM entity.
Generally, the configuration information includes an identification of the base station, parameter information of the base station, and the like.
In step 606, after receiving the configuration information, the oam entity determines the SON entity corresponding to the communication system of the base station to be configured. For example, if the base station to be configured is a TD-LTE base station, the SON entity is a SON entity corresponding to the TD-LTE; the base station to be configured is a GSM/SCDMA base station, and the SON entity is a SON entity corresponding to the GSM/SCDMA.
In step 607a, if the base station to be configured is a TD-LTE base station, the OAM sends the configuration information to the SON entity corresponding to the TD-LTE.
In step 608a, after receiving the configuration information, the SON entity corresponding to the TD-LTE sends the configuration information to the base station corresponding to the TD-LTE.
In step 607b, if the base station to be configured is a GSM/SCDMA base station, the OAM sends the configuration information to the SON entity corresponding to the GSM/SCDMA base station.
