Description

A kind of method of obtaining information in the signaling process
Technical field
The present invention relates to the network operation analysis technical field, be meant a kind of method of obtaining information in the signaling process especially.
Background technology
General packet radio service (GPRS) system is an open system, and this system mainly comprises core network (CN), UMTS wireless access network (UTRAN) and subscriber equipment (UE) three parts.Wherein, Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) belongs to the CN part, SGSN and other network element exist standard interface, such as the interface between SGSN and the wireless access network (RAN) is the Iu interface, interface between SGSN and the attaching position register (HLR) is a Gr interface, and the interface between SGSN and other SGSN is a gn interface etc.Fig. 1 is GPRS logic architecture figure, and as can be seen from the figure, in the GPRS system, SGSN is in the position at a center.On the one hand, SGSN is connected the RAN side by the Iu interface with Gb Interface; On the other hand, SGSN has connected provides other professional equipment in HLR, GGSN and the system.The signaling of nearly all gprs service all can be passed through SGSN, and in GPRS network, SGSN is in the position of a master control.
Travelling carriage (MS) carries out Signalling exchange by layer three (L3) message and the SGSN of 3GPP24.008 regulation and stipulation, realizes the GPRS service.The L3 signaling of MS and SGSN mainly is divided into mobile management and session management, in addition also just like the operation flow of the automatic positioning service of mobile phone (LCS), short message service (SMS) etc.At present, in actual GPRS network, key performance item (KPI) index, typical extremely important for the quality of the runnability raising network of awareness network as adhering to indexs such as success rate, packet data protocol (PDP) activation success rate, the success rate index of other flow process also is to weigh the important indicator of network quality certainly.In the flow process of MS and SGSN, probably for some reason, cause the failure of mobile management or session management or other signaling process.Therefore, need the location at present and analyze the reason that signaling process is failed, and then provide the method that solves fault.
In the line service of existing network, carry out accident analysis or Network Quality Analysis by the following method.
1) performance accounting method: performance statistics is a quality of weighing current network by statistical items crucial in the statistics network, for example, success/the frequency of failure of signaling process in the statistics specific measurement period, and this statistical value fed back to network management system, comprehensively analyze by network management system, solve the dilatation of existing network and the problem of existence by analysis result.
But for the present problem that needs solution,, can only count the success rate or the mortality of signaling process, can not provide some key messages that signaling process is failed because performance statistics is a kind of long-time or periodic statistics; And performance statistics is the statistical history data, can not carry out anomaly analysis to the fault that occurs in the signaling process, further can not provide the method that solves fault.
2) the whole network signaling test method: this method is by the signaling in the special signaling tracing instrument real-time tracking standard protocol interface, for example, obtain standard agreement message at interfaces such as Iu, Gb, Gr in the calling procedure from different network elements, and these message are sent to network management center, network management center is analyzed these message, network is optimized and solves subproblem according to analysis result.
The method that above-mentioned the whole network is followed the tracks of need all be followed the tracks of by special third party's instrument at all interfaces, and this proposes very high requirement to the performance of third party's instrument and the performance of network; The signaling that the whole network is followed the tracks of detects the information that can not obtain relevant information of the concrete network equipment and inter-process, can only obtain the information in the signaling process; This tracking can produce lot of data, and these data are not carried out association to same user's a certain signaling process, and obtaining from these lot of data and analyzing the required useful information of a certain signaling process of a certain user is very large workload; And also being not easy to find from above-mentioned data the problem that exists in the message needs rich experience.
3) alarm method: warning system can send the reason of alarm in real time to network management system, for example, the reason of alarm may be equipment fault or link failure etc., and network management system is according to alarm cause, and analysis is also got rid of the fault that is taken place.
But what alarm was paid close attention to is equipment fault, can not or less relevance customer service process in fault, such as, the user adheres to for a certain reason or PDP activates and waits when failing, warning system often can't embody.Therefore, the unusual or fault that occurs in the eliminating subscriber signaling flow process can not be located and analyze to alarm.
In sum, the existing network operation technology that exists can not provide good location and analyzing failure cause at the unusual or fault of signaling process and solve the method for fault.

Be example with the fault that occurs in the analysis session managing signaling flow process below, describe the process that SGSN reports CHR message in detail, and network management system be according to the process of the problem that occurs in the CHR message analysis signaling process.
The data service of having supposed certain mobile user contracted, but data service can't be used.According to this problem, can judge the reason that user mobile phone can't use data service is that PDP activates not success, so, analyzes the reason of data service failure further combined with the PDP activation process.As shown in Figure 2, the process of analysis PDP activation process failure cause may further comprise the steps:
The related signaling process of step 201:SGSN record is the key message in the PDP activation process, and concrete PDP activation is as follows:
MS sends and activates PDP Context request (Activate PDP Context Request) message to SGSN, carry in this message Network Service Access point sign (NSAPI), Transaction Identifier (TI), PDP type (PDP Type), pdp address (PDP Address), APN (Access PointName, APN), QoS (QoS Requested), the PDP config option information such as (PDP ConfigurationOptions) of request.
SGSN receives after the above-mentioned Activate PDP Context Request message, the PDPContext Activation Procedure CHR message of record MS.SGSN at first writes down network system types that MS inserts as the system type in the CHR message, and the register system time is as the system time in the CHR message, and these records are put in the buffer memory.SGSN can obtain the IMSI of MS from mobile management (MM) context that MS initiates to have set up the activation process, and with this IMSI value record in buffer memory.Simultaneously, SGSN also records NSAPI, TI, PDP Type, PDP Address, APN, QoS Requested, PDP ConfigurationOptions in the Activate PDP Context Request message in the buffer memory.
Then, SGSN will compare the PDP Address of MS request, the PDPAddress that APN and this MS contract, and parameters such as APN judge whether to refuse or continue the PDP context activation flow process of this MS.
SGSN finds that the APN of request and the APN that MS contracts do not match, the then PDP context activation request of this MS of decision refusal, and send the message that PDP activates refusal to MS, simultaneously, SGSN with the session management reason in the refuse information (SM Cause) value record in buffer memory.
If SGSN can't obtain the information in the above-mentioned CHR message, then handle accordingly respectively according to the Presence definition of item of information in the CHR message.For the necessary item of information that defines in the PDP Context ActivationProcedure CHR message, SGSN fills in default value in the PDP ContextActivation Procedure CHR message of being constructed.For example, in some cases, SGSN can not obtain the access network system type of MS, then fills in the invalid value of a regulation.For the optional item of information that defines in the PDPContext Activation Procedure CHR message, SGSN can not carry this item of information in the PDP Context Activation Procedure CHR message of being constructed.For example, if when not carrying PDPConfiguration Options information in the PDP context activation request message that MS sends, can not carry the PCO information that MS sends in the CHR message.For the item of information of the condition that defines in the PDP Context Activation Procedure CHR message, fill in this item of information according to certain conditions during SGSN structure PDP Context Activation Procedure CHR message.For example, in gsm system, do not have the RNC sign certainly, at this moment, should not carry the RNC identification information in the CHR message.
Step 202:SGSN carries the information of being obtained with PDP Context Activation Procedure CHR message, and reports the CHR server, and detailed process is as follows:
Whether SGSN reports the CHR message of this MS according to configuration determination, report CHR message if desired, SGSN is with the IMSI of this MS, and the system type in the buffer memory, system time, NSAPI, TI, PDP Type, PDP Address, APN, QoS Requested, PDP ConfigurationOptions, information such as SM Cause, and the signatory PDP Type of this MS, PDP Address, APN, information such as QoS, the current Routing Area Identifier that gets access to SGSN, old Routing Area Identifier, insert the RNC sign, information such as CN sign, PDP Context of constructing definitions Activation Procedure CHR message according to the CHR message of PDP activation process, after in this CHR message, carrying above-mentioned information, send to the CHR server.
Step 203:CHR server obtains every information from the message that receives, and accessed information is preserved, and detailed process is as described below:
The CHR server is received the PDP Context Activation Procedure CHR message that SGSN reports, from this message, resolve the value that obtains each information unit in the message, and will be kept in the CHR server with forms such as XML file or databases, so just provide CHR for accident analysis or Network Quality Analysis.
Step 204: network management system positions and analyzes the problem that is occurred according to the every information in the message of being preserved in the CHR server, thereby provides the countermeasure of dealing with problems, and detailed process is as described below:
If operator receives above-mentioned PDP and activates the user's of failure the complaint about the data service failure, then just can search this user's CHR record in the CHR server according to this user's phone number.Can judge tentatively that according to this user's complaint this user's MS signaling process occurs and causes the data service failure unusually in the PDP context activation flow process.Obtain after the IMSI of this MS according to user's phone number, in the CHR server, search the CHR record that SGSN reports according to this IMSI, lookup result obtains PDP Context Activation Procedure CHR message, and the value of each information as shown in Table 8 in this CHR message.

Table eight
In the CHR message shown in the table eight, the request APN that this user carries in the PDP context activation request message that SGSN sends is for empty, and this user two APN that contracted are respectively CMWAP and CMNET.In this case, SGSN is owing to can not determine which APN this user uses, and the PDP that refuses this user activates request.The reason that can judge the data service failure of this user's request by above analysis is: APN and subscription data that this mobile phone carries when activating request are not inconsistent.By above analysis, the countermeasure that solves this user data service failure is: the APN parameter of notifying the user that mobile phone correctly is set.
According to the similar process of above-mentioned analysis PDP activation process, the CHR record of signaling process that can be by analyzing a certain period, certain user is estimated and the phase-split network quality, further provides the scheme of optimization network etc.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is in order to restriction the present invention, within the spirit and principles in the present invention not all, any modification of being done, is equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
