Detailed Description
To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more apparent, specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present disclosure and in the foregoing drawings are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order; furthermore, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict.
In the following description, suffixes such as "module", "component", or "unit" used to denote elements are used only for the convenience of explanation of the present disclosure, and have no specific meaning in themselves. Thus, "module", "component" or "unit" may be used mixedly.
The distributed Radio access network is composed of a baseband Unit (Base Band Unit, BBU for short), an Extension Unit (EU for short), and a remote Unit (Radio Frequency Unit, RU for short), and is configured as follows: BBU < - > EU < - > RU. The O-RAN WG4 development forward interface working group specification corresponds to: O-DU < - > FHM < - > O-RU. The FHM, as a fronthaul multiplexing device, may access multiple O-RUs, typically up to 8O-RUs.
The O-RAN WG4 open fronthaul working group introduced a Shared Cell concept, supporting two scenarios: 1) Same cell scene; 2) A multi-cell scenario. Wherein the same cell scenario is shown in fig. 1A and the multi-cell scenario is shown in fig. 1B.
Under the Same cell scenario (Same cell celerio): for downlink data, FHM receives Ethernet frame sent from O-DU, copies (copy) intraframe payload eCPRI message to new Ethernet frame, and sends to all O-RUs connected with southbound interface; for uplink data, the FHM receives an extended Common Radio Interface (eCPRI) message sent by each O-RU of the southbound Interface, and performs corresponding merging (combine), constructs a new ethernet frame, and sends the new ethernet frame to the O-DU.
However, the O-RAN WG4 forwarding specification does not provide how to offload downlink data of different cells to different O-RUs and how to select uplink data from different cells and combine them in a multi-cell scenario (Multiple cells discovery). In order to solve the above problem, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, by adding a routing calculation function module, the FHM shunts downlink data of different cells to different O-RUs, and selects and combines uplink data from different cells, thereby implementing a correct routing function in a multi-cell scenario with shared cell characteristics.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a routing method in a shared cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the method is applied to an O-DU and includes steps S201 to S204.
In step S201, all interface information and topology information of the fronthaul multiplexer are acquired.
Specifically, the O-RU and FHM start-up procedures are as follows: 1. O-RU information Retrieval (Retrieval of O-RU information); 2. performing Topology discovery (Topology discovery procedure); 3. starting user plane configuration, retrieving O-RU user plane information and allocating a unique extended antenna carrier wave eAxC-ID(s) to each cell; 4. in this embodiment, a cell Route calculation Module (Route computer Module) is newly added to the O-DU to calculate Route information of each cell; 5. shared cell north-south node configuration (Shared cell configuration); 6. FHM user plane configuration.
The FHM all-interface information and topology information comprise FHM north-direction node information and FHM south-direction node information. If the topology structure is FHM cascade, all cascaded FHM topology information needs to be input.
The FHM topology information structure is described as follows:
1) Defining a node structure, the structure containing the following information:
a node MAC address;
the node type is as follows: RU, FHM or DH;
2) Defining a linking structure, the structure containing the following information:
MAC address of RU port connected to opposite end node;
a correspondent node structure;
3) Defining a topology structure, the structure comprising the following information:
northbound node link structure
Southbound nodes link the list of structures.
After the steps 1 and 2 of the O-RU initiation procedure, the O-DU obtains all interface information and topology information of the FHM, including its northbound node connection and southbound interface connection. And 3, obtaining user plane information of each cell. These information are used as input and transmitted to the cell route calculation module, and after step 4, the route information of each cell on FHM is obtained. In steps 5 and 6, the O-DU can configure the south interface and the north interface of FHM according to the cell routing information in step 4 to realize the shunting and merging of FHM to different cell data.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned O-RU and FHM start-up procedures only list part of the start-up procedures related to the solution, and the new cell route calculation steps, and other start-up procedures refer to the O-RAN WG4 forward specification.
In step S202, cell user plane information of each radio access network radio frequency unit is obtained.
In one embodiment, the cell user plane information includes the number of cells, the unique identifier of each cell antenna carrier, eAxC-ID, and a preselected route calculation mode, wherein,
the cell user plane information structure is described as follows:
1) Defining a cell structure, the structure comprising the following information: a cell identity; a cell downlink eAxcID list; a cell uplink eAxcID list; 2) Defining an information structure, the structure containing the following information: the number of cells; a cell structure list; a preselected route calculation mode.
In step S203, based on all interface information, topology information, and the cell user plane information of the fronthaul multiplexer, the route information of each cell on the fronthaul multiplexer is calculated according to a route calculation mode pre-selected by each radio access network radio frequency unit. In an embodiment, the step S203 specifically includes:
and calculating the routing information of each cell on the fronthaul multiplexer according to the preselected routing calculation mode based on all interface information, topology information and cell user plane information of the fronthaul multiplexer.
In step S204, a southbound interface of the fronthaul multiplexer is configured based on the routing information of each cell on the fronthaul multiplexer, so that the fronthaul multiplexer respectively routes the downlink user plane data of each cell to a corresponding radio access network radio frequency unit based on the southbound interface thereof, and respectively selects the uplink user plane data of each cell based on the southbound interface thereof to combine, and sends the combined uplink user plane data to the baseband unit.
In practical application, the system configures the south-to-north interface of the forward multiplexer based on the routing information of each cell on the forward multiplexer, and configures the north-to-south interface of the forward multiplexer based on the routing information, thereby implementing data splitting and merging of the south-to-north interfaces.
Specifically, the routing information of each cell on the FHM is output according to the routing result calculated by the routing calculation module. The data structure of the routing information contains routing information of each cell, and it is known which southbound interfaces are allocated to which eaxc-ids(s) of the cell, wherein the cell routing data structure can be described as follows:
defining a cell node structure, the structure comprising the following information: 1) A cell northbound node structure; 2) A cell southbound node structure list;
defining a cell routing structure, the structure comprising the following information: 1) A cell downlink eAxcID list; 2) A cell uplink eAxcID list; 3) Copying a cell node structure; 4) And merging the node structures of the cells.

After the routing calculation and the user plane configuration are completed, the user plane data routing schemes of cell #1 and cell #2 are shown in fig. 3B.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a routing method under a shared cell according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the previous embodiment, an O-DU according to an embodiment of the present disclosure sets a plurality of routing calculation modes in advance for selection, each routing calculation mode obtains a different routing manner, and diversity of the routing manner is improved, specifically, the method further includes step S401 and step S402.
In step S401, a plurality of route calculation modes are preset, where the plurality of route calculation modes include one or more of a same cell mode, a split mode according to the number of cells, a split mode according to a fronthaul multiplexer, and a port group route mode;
in step S402, a route calculation mode is selected in advance from the plurality of route calculation modes;
the step S202 is further divided into a step S202a and a step S202b,
in step S202a, initial cell user plane information of each radio access network radio frequency unit is obtained, where the initial cell user plane information includes the number of cells and a unique identifier of an antenna carrier of each cell; and (c) a second step of,
in step S202b, the initial cell user plane information carries a routing calculation mode selected in advance, and cell user plane information of each radio access network radio frequency unit is obtained.
In this embodiment, each mode has different route calculation methods, and as shown in fig. 5 to 9, 4 route calculation modes are set,
fig. 5A and 5B are the SAME CELL (SAME-CELL) mode, the FHM does not need to distinguish the southbound interfaces, but only needs to copy data to all southbound interfaces (downlink) or combine data from all southbound interfaces (uplink) according to the southbound node and northbound node information of the input FHM topology information data structure; the uplink and downlink data routing examples are respectively 5A and fig. 5B;
fig. 6A and 6B show a differential-BY-NUMBER (differential-BY-NUMBER) mode, in which the southbound node and northbound node information of the FHM topology information data structure and the eAxcID list information in the cell user plane information data structure are input to obtain the NUMBER of cells and the NUMBER of southbound interfaces, and then the southbound interfaces are divided according to the NUMBER of cells. For example, if the number of cells is 2 and the number of fhm southbound interfaces is 8, 1/2/3/4 southbound interfaces can be assigned to one cell and 5/6/7/8 southbound interfaces can be assigned to another cell; examples of uplink and downlink data routing are shown in fig. 6A and 6B, respectively;
fig. 7A and 7B illustrate a push-to-talk multiplexer split mode, i.e., FHM cascade (split-BY-FHM) mode, and a cell is allocated to each FHM, i.e., a mapping is required for the topology information data structure of each FHM and the user plane information data structure of each cell. For example, FHMs of level 2, if the number of cells is 2, then one cell is allocated to each FHM, and the same cell pattern is used in each FHM; an upstream and downstream data routing example is shown in fig. 7A and 7B;
fig. 8A and 8B are port group (port group) routing modes, where a user configures port groups, and then allocates cell routes according to different port groups, that is, according to input information about southbound nodes and northbound nodes of an FHM topology information data structure and information about an eAxcID list in a cell user plane information data structure, the cell number and the southbound interface number are obtained, and then the southbound interfaces are allocated according to the port groups configured by the user. For example, if the number of cells is 4, fhm has 8 southbound interfaces, the user can configure four port groups: PG1= {1,2}; PG2= {3,4}; PG3= {5,6}; PG4= {7,8}, four Cell data may be routed to different port groups, e.g., cell-1 data traffic is routed to PG1, cell-2 data traffic is routed to PG2, cell-3 data traffic is routed to PG3, cell-4 data traffic is routed to PG4; an example of upstream and downstream data routing is shown in fig. 8A and 8B.
In some embodiments, the user can set other CUSTOM (CUSTOM) modes according to different requirements.
In this embodiment, the O-DU sets a plurality of different route calculation modes and sends the route calculation modes to the radio frequency unit of the radio access network, so as to select a corresponding route calculation mode to obtain route information, thereby improving the diversity of route modes.
Further, step S104 includes:
judging whether the preselected route calculation mode is the same cell mode;
if the cell mode is the same, configuring a southbound interface of the fronthaul multiplexer based on the routing information of the cell on the fronthaul multiplexer, copying downlink user plane data of the cell to the fronthaul multiplexer based on all interface information and topology information of the fronthaul multiplexer, so that the fronthaul multiplexer respectively routes the downlink user plane data of the cell to all radio access network radio frequency units, merges uplink user plane data of the cell by the fronthaul multiplexer, and sends the merged uplink user plane data to a baseband unit.
And if the forward multiplexer is not in the same cell mode, configuring a southbound interface of the forward multiplexer based on the routing information of each cell on the forward multiplexer.
It can be understood that if in the same cell mode, routing information of the same cell only needs to configure the south interface and the north interface of the forwarding multiplexer, and then all data are copied and combined.
