In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when a new base station is deployed, an operator may first perform a hardware configuration operation according to a network planning scheme, for example, to access a radio frequency unit of the base station to a baseband unit of the base station, or connect the radio frequency unit to a radio frequency unit hub, and connect the radio frequency unit hub to the baseband unit (or a baseband processing board) of the base station. When updating the topology structure of the deployed base station, an operator may first perform a hardware configuration operation according to a network planning scheme, such as accessing a new radio frequency unit to a baseband unit of the base station, or accessing a new radio frequency unit to a baseband unit of the base station through a radio frequency unit hub, or removing an original radio frequency unit from the baseband unit or the radio frequency unit hub.

After the hardware configuration operation is completed, the network device configuration method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may be adopted to store the attribute information and the topology information of the radio frequency unit in the base station after the hardware configuration operation into the network planning database, so that the relevant deployment information of the base station stored in the network planning database is consistent with the current actual deployment situation of the base station.

Referring to fig. 3, a schematic flowchart of a network device configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The method may be implemented by a network device configuration apparatus. Alternatively, the network configuration device may be implemented by software, or by hardware, or by a combination of software and hardware. For example, the network configuration means may be a software-implemented application that can be deployed on a computer device (or communication means) having computing functionality; as another example, the network configuration apparatus may also be a computer device (or a communication apparatus) implemented by a combination of hardware and software.

As shown in fig. 3, the process may include the following steps:

s301: a first set of configuration information for a base station detected based on a hardware configuration operation for the base station is obtained.

The hardware configuration operation of the base station may include performing a hardware configuration operation on a radio frequency unit of the base station. More specifically, the hardware configuration operation performed on the radio frequency unit of the base station may include the following situations:

case 1: and connecting the radio frequency unit into the baseband unit. For example, a new rf unit is connected to an rf unit hub connected to the baseband unit, or a next-stage rf unit hub (to which an rf unit is connected) is cascaded to an rf unit hub connected to the baseband unit, or the new rf unit hub (to which an rf unit is connected) is connected to the baseband unit.

Case 2: the radio frequency unit is removed from the baseband unit. For example, the rf unit is removed from the rf unit hub connected to the baseband unit, or the rf unit hub connected to the baseband unit is removed from the rf unit hub connected to the baseband unit (the rf unit is connected to the next-stage rf unit hub), or the connected rf unit hub is removed from the baseband unit (the rf unit is connected to the rf unit hub).

Case 3: the existing radio frequency unit is removed from the baseband unit, and a new radio frequency unit is connected to the baseband unit. For example, an existing rf unit in a base station may be moved from its original access location to a new access location, for example, an rf unit may be moved from one interface of an rf unit hub where the rf unit is located to another interface of the rf unit hub, or an rf unit may be moved from an rf unit hub where the rf unit is located to another rf unit hub.

In the process of performing the above hardware configuration operation, the system may detect attribute information and topology information of the relevant hardware device (such as a radio frequency unit) that is accessed or removed based on the hardware configuration operation, and may store or cache the detected information.

For example, when a new rf unit is connected to an rf unit hub connected to a baseband unit, the connected rf unit may need to be started or perform necessary configuration operation, and in this process, the rf unit may perform information interaction with the operation and maintenance system, so that the operation and maintenance system may obtain attribute information (such as an attribute parameter, such as a name of the device unit) and topology information (such as which ethernet port of the rf unit is connected to which ethernet port of the rf unit hub, connection relationship information between the rf unit hub connected to the rf unit and the baseband processing board, and the like) of the rf unit.

Illustratively, based on the above hardware configuration operation, the system may store the detected information as the following three information tables: a baseband processing board information table (also referred to as "boardEntry" in this embodiment), a radio frequency unit hub topology information table (also referred to as "topologRUBEntry" in this embodiment), and a radio frequency unit topology information table (also referred to as "topologRtopology" in this embodiment).

The baseband processing board information table (baseband entry) may include the following fields:

example description field: this field is used to store the position information of the baseband processing board in the subrack. For example, the description information of the subrack where the baseband processing board is located (for example, the subrack number), and the description information of the slot where the baseband processing board is located (for example, the slot number).

Baseband processing board name field: this field is used to store the name of the baseband processing board. The name of the baseband processing board usually includes model information of the baseband processing board, and therefore the model of the baseband processing board can be known by the name of the baseband processing board.

The hardware matching state field of the baseband processing board is as follows: this field is used to store hardware match status information for the baseband processing board. The hardware match status includes a match and a mismatch. The model of the baseband processing board which meets the requirements of network planning is stored in the operation and maintenance system, and the information is also called software configuration information. After detecting the name (model) of the baseband processing board, the operation and maintenance system can compare the name (model) with the model of the baseband processing board in the software configuration information, if the detected model of the baseband processing board does not accord with the model in the software configuration information, the detected model of the baseband processing board indicates that the currently and actually deployed baseband processing board does not accord with the baseband processing board required by network planning, the hardware matching state of the baseband processing board is set to be not matched, and if not, the hardware matching state of the baseband processing board is set to be matched.

The radio unit hub topology information table (topologyrheantry) may include the following fields:

the hub optical port access board slot field: the field is used for storing a slot number, and the slot number is the slot number of the baseband processing board connected with each optical port of the radio frequency unit concentrator. Taking the base station topology shown in fig. 1 or fig. 2 as an example, the field may store the slot number of the baseband processing board connected to the optical ports 1 to 4 of the rf unit hub respectively.

Concentrator light mouth access board light mouth number field: this field is used to store an optical port number, which is the optical port number of the baseband processing board to which each optical port of the radio frequency unit hub is connected, for example, the information stored in this field is <1,0>, which indicates that the optical port 1 (optical port number is 1) of the RRU hub is connected to the optical port 0 (optical port number is 0) of the baseband processing board B1. Taking the topology structure of the base station shown in fig. 1 or fig. 2 as an example, the field may store the optical port numbers of the baseband processing boards corresponding to the optical ports 1 to 4 of the radio frequency unit hub, respectively.

Concentrator optical access stage number section: the field is used to store the cascade number of the rf unit hubs, for example, if the rf unit hub is not cascaded with other rf unit hubs, the value of the field may be 0, and if the rf unit hub is cascaded with another rf unit hub and only two rf unit hubs are cascaded, the value of the field may be 1.

Hub software version field: this field is used to store software version information, such as version number, of the radio unit hub. The model of the radio frequency unit hub can be obtained through the software version information of the radio frequency unit hub.

The radio unit topology information table (topologyrrrgrant) may include the following fields:

radio unit name field: this field is used to store the name of the radio unit. The name of the radio frequency unit usually includes the model information of the radio frequency unit, so the model of the radio frequency unit can be known through the name of the radio frequency unit.

The radio frequency unit access board slot position field: the field is used for storing a slot number, and the slot number is the slot number of the baseband processing board to which the radio frequency unit belongs.

Radio frequency unit access board type field: this field is used to store the type of baseband processing board to which the radio frequency unit belongs.

A main optical port number field of the radio frequency unit access board: this field is used to store the port number, indicating that the rf unit is connected to the corresponding port of the baseband processing board.

The radio frequency unit access board Ethernet port number field: this field is used to store an ethernet port number indicating the access of the rf unit to the corresponding ethernet port of the rf hub.

Radio unit hardware matching field: this field is used to store hardware matching state information of the radio frequency unit. The hardware match status includes a match and a mismatch. The model of the radio frequency unit meeting the network planning requirement is stored in the operation and maintenance system, and the information is also called software configuration information. After detecting the name (model) of the radio frequency unit, the operation and maintenance system can compare the name (model) with the model of the radio frequency unit in the software configuration information, if the detected model of the radio frequency unit does not accord with the model in the software configuration information, the detected model of the radio frequency unit indicates that the radio frequency unit actually deployed at present does not accord with the radio frequency unit required by network planning, the hardware matching state of the radio frequency unit is set as 'unmatched', otherwise, the hardware matching state of the radio frequency unit is set as 'matched'.

The fields that may be included in the baseband processing board information table (also referred to as "boardEntry" in this embodiment), the radio unit hub topology information table (also referred to as "topologyrhyentry" in this embodiment), and the radio unit topology information table (also referred to as "topologyrrrentry" in this embodiment), or the information that may be included in the above three tables, may be included in an actual application, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.

Based on the information detected by the system, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network configuration apparatus may obtain all or part of the information from the system detected information, where the obtained information is referred to as a first configuration information set, and attribute information and topology information of the hardware device in the first configuration information set reflect an actual deployment situation of the base station after the hardware configuration operation is completed.

Optionally, the first configuration information set may include the following three subsets: the base band processing board information subset, the base band processing board information subset and the radio frequency unit topology information subset.

Baseband processing board information subset: the baseband processing board information subset includes at least one of the following information: the position information of the baseband processing board in the machine frame, the model of the baseband processing board and the hardware matching state of the baseband processing board.

For example, the network configuration device may obtain the baseband processing board information subset by reading the instance description field, the baseband processing board name field, and the baseband processing board hardware matching status field in the baseband processing board information table (baseband entry).

Radio unit hub topology information subset: the subset of radio unit hub topology information includes at least one of: attribute information (such as an optical port number) of an optical port connected with the baseband processing board on the radio frequency unit hub, an access stage number of the radio frequency unit hub and software version information of the radio frequency hub.

Illustratively, the network configuration device may obtain the topology information subset of the radio frequency unit hub by reading a hub optical port access board slot bit field, a hub optical port access board optical port number field, a hub optical port access level number field, and a hub software version field in the above radio frequency unit hub topology information table (topologyrhyentry).

Radio frequency unit topology information subset: the subset of radio frequency unit topology information includes at least one of: the attribute information of the radio frequency unit (for example, the type of the radio frequency unit), the attribute information of the baseband processing board to which the radio frequency unit is connected (for example, the slot number and the type of the baseband processing board), the connection relationship information of the radio frequency unit and the baseband processing board (for example, which optical port the radio frequency unit is connected to on the baseband processing board), the connection relationship information of the radio frequency unit and the radio frequency unit hub (for example, which ethernet port the radio frequency unit is connected to on the radio frequency unit hub), and the hardware matching state of the radio frequency unit.

For example, the network configuration device may obtain the radio frequency unit topology information subset by reading a radio frequency unit name field, a radio frequency unit access board slot bit field, a radio frequency unit access board type field, a radio frequency unit access board main port number field, a radio frequency unit access board ethernet port number field, and a radio frequency unit hardware matching field in the radio frequency unit topology information table (topologyrrenty).

Illustratively, the data structure of the three subsets may be a data table. Table 1 shows fields contained in the above three subsets (tables) in the first set of configuration information.

For example, after the network device configuration apparatus calls the OM interface, the system may obtain the baseband processing board information table (also referred to as "bootentry" in this embodiment), the radio unit hub topology information table (also referred to as "topologyrhyentry" in this embodiment), and the radio unit topology information table (also referred to as "topologyrrentry" in this embodiment) stored in the operation maintenance system based on the call operation, read relevant fields (see description of the foregoing embodiment) in the information tables, obtain a first configuration information set, and provide the first configuration information set as a return parameter to the network device configuration apparatus.

In this case, the network device configuring apparatus may empty the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database, and configure the first configuration information set as the network planning information of the base station into the network planning database. Optionally, the network device configuring apparatus may configure the information in the first configuration information set to the network planning database through an OM interface. By adopting the configuration method, higher software fault tolerance rate can be ensured, and difference comparison and modification of new data and old data do not need to be considered, so that possible errors can be avoided.

Optionally, after the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database is configured, the hardware device whose hardware matching state is "unmatched" in the base station may be triggered to perform a reset operation, so that the hardware matching state of the hardware device is updated to "matched".

For example, after the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database is configured, if the hardware matching state of the first radio frequency unit in the configured network planning information of the base station is not matched, a reset instruction is sent to the first radio frequency unit, and the hardware matching state of the first radio frequency unit in the configured network planning information of the base station is updated to be matched. The first radio frequency unit is any one radio frequency unit connected with a baseband unit of the base station.

For another example, after the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database is configured, if the hardware matching state of the first baseband processing board in the configured network planning information of the base station is not matched, a reset instruction is sent to the first baseband processing board, and the hardware matching state of the first baseband processing board in the configured network planning information of the base station is updated to be matched. The first baseband processing board is a baseband processing board in any one baseband processing unit of the base station.

As can be seen from the process shown in fig. 2, after the hardware configuration operation is performed on the base station, the network planning information of the base station can be automatically configured. Compared with the manual network planning information configuration, the network planning information configuration method and the network planning information configuration device have the advantages that the network planning information configuration method and the network planning information configuration device do not need operators to perform manual operation during network planning information configuration, and the actual deployment conditions (such as attribute information and topology information of radio frequency units) of hardware equipment detected by a system are obtained, so that the network planning information configuration of corresponding base stations is performed, the base station configuration operation can be simplified, the base station configuration efficiency can be improved, and the error rate caused by manual operation can be reduced or eliminated.

It should be noted that the present disclosure example has wide applicability, and various products, such as a macro station, a pole station, a PICO base station (PICO), and an indoor Distributed Antenna System (DAS), can be configured by using the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and can be implemented by using an original interface of a base station, without additional development of an interface, thereby reducing development cost.

Referring to fig. 4, a schematic flowchart of another network device configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The method may be implemented by a network device configuration apparatus. Alternatively, the network configuration device may be implemented by software, or by hardware, or by a combination of software and hardware. For example, the network configuration means may be a software-implemented application that is deployable on a computer device (or communication device) having computing functionality; as another example, the network configuration apparatus may also be a computer device (or a communication apparatus) implemented by a combination of hardware and software.

As shown in fig. 4, the process may include the following steps:

s401: a first configuration information set and a second configuration information set of a base station are obtained.

Wherein the first configuration information set is detected based on a hardware configuration operation of the base station, including attribute information and topology information of hardware devices (e.g., radio frequency units) of the base station. The content and the obtaining method of the first configuration information set can be referred to the related content of the foregoing embodiments.

The second configuration information set includes attribute information and topology information of hardware devices (such as radio frequency units connected to baseband units) of the base station, which are stored in the network planning database before the hardware configuration operation is performed on the base station. It can be understood that the information in the second configuration information set is from a network planning database, and the information in the set is attribute information and topology information of the original hardware device of the base station.

Optionally, the information type included in the second configuration information set is the same as the information type in the first configuration information set. For example, if the first configuration information set includes a baseband processing board information subset, a radio unit hub topology information subset, and a radio unit topology information subset, the second configuration information set also includes a baseband processing board information subset, a radio unit hub topology information subset, and a radio unit topology information subset. Understandably, if the data structures of the three subsets are data tables, the baseband processing board information subsets in the first configuration information set and the baseband processing board information subsets in the second configuration information set have the same data structures (for example, have the same fields), the radio unit hub topology information subsets in the first configuration information set and the radio unit hub topology information subsets in the second configuration information set have the same data structures (for example, have the same fields), and the radio unit topology information subsets in the first configuration information set and the radio unit topology information subsets in the second configuration information set have the same data structures (for example, have the same fields).

It should be noted that, when the network planning database is read, if it is found that a certain field of the attribute information or the topology information of a certain hardware device is identified as invalid, for example, the field value is "-1", the invalidation process is performed on the read hardware device or the information of the hardware device.

Optionally, the network device configuration apparatus may call an OM interface provided by the operation and maintenance system, and obtain the second configuration information set returned by the OM interface.

S402: and comparing the first configuration information set with the second configuration information set to obtain newly accessed and/or removed hardware equipment.

The newly accessed hardware device and the removed hardware device may include a radio frequency unit, and may further include a radio frequency unit hub.

In this step, the information in the first configuration information set may be compared with the corresponding information (for example, the information in the same field) in the second configuration information set, and through the comparison, it may be determined which hardware device or devices are newly accessed in the current hardware configuration operation, and which hardware device or devices are removed in the current hardware configuration operation.

For example, if the attribute information and the topology information of the radio frequency unit 1 exist in the first configuration information set, and the attribute information and the topology information of the radio frequency unit 1 do not exist in the second configuration information set, it may be determined that the radio frequency unit 1 is a radio frequency unit newly accessed in the current hardware configuration operation.

For another example, if the attribute information and the topology information of the radio frequency unit 2 exist in the second configuration information set, and the attribute information and the topology information of the video unit 2 do not exist in the first configuration information set, it may be determined that the radio frequency unit 2 is a radio frequency unit removed in the current hardware configuration operation.

As another example, if the attribute information and the topology information of the radio frequency unit 3 exist in both the first configuration information set and the second configuration information set, but the related information (such as the topology information) of the radio frequency unit in the first configuration information set is different from the corresponding information of the radio frequency unit 3 in the second configuration information set, it may be determined that the location of the radio frequency unit 3 has migrated, and it may be considered that the radio frequency unit 3 is removed from the original location and then accessed at the new location.

S403: and updating the attribute information and the topology information of the corresponding hardware equipment in the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database according to the newly accessed and/or removed hardware equipment.

Optionally, for the newly accessed hardware device, the attribute information and the topology information of the newly accessed hardware device may be added to the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database according to the first configuration information set.

For example, if the radio frequency unit 1 is a radio frequency unit newly accessed in the current hardware configuration operation, the attribute information and the topology information of the radio frequency unit 1 in the first configuration information set are added to the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database.

Optionally, for the removed hardware device, the attribute information and the topology information of the removed hardware device may be deleted from the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database.

For example, if the radio frequency unit 2 is a radio frequency unit removed in the current hardware configuration operation, the attribute information and the topology information of the radio frequency unit 2 in the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database are deleted.

For another example, if the radio frequency unit 3 migrates the access location through the present hardware configuration operation, the following method may be adopted to update the information:

mode 1: the attribute information and topology information of the radio frequency unit 3 in the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database may be deleted first, and then the attribute information and topology information of the radio frequency unit 3 in the first configuration information set may be added to the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database.

Mode 2: the corresponding information of the radio frequency unit 3 in the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database can be modified according to the attribute information and the topology information of the radio frequency unit 3 in the first configuration information set, so that the attribute information and the topology information of the radio frequency unit 3 in the network planning database are the same as the corresponding information of the radio frequency unit 3 in the first configuration information set. Alternatively, the contents of the field may be modified only for the field where there is a difference.

As can be seen from the above process shown in fig. 4, the first configuration information set (for reflecting the deployment situation of the base station after the hardware configuration operation is performed on the base station) and the second configuration information set (for reflecting the deployment situation of the base station before the hardware configuration operation) are compared to obtain a newly accessed and/or removed hardware device (such as a newly accessed radio frequency unit or a removed radio frequency unit), and according to the newly accessed and/or removed hardware device, the attribute information and the topology information of the corresponding hardware device in the network planning information of the base station in the network planning database are updated, so that the corresponding information in the network planning information of the base station can be updated only for the newly accessed and/or removed hardware device, and the relevant information of the hardware device that has not changed does not need to be updated, thereby further improving the configuration efficiency of the base station.
