Abstract

PURPOSE:To manage the version-number of programs of entire radio repeater stations and radio terminal stations, and the latest version-number of constituting equipments by a radio base station. CONSTITUTION:A radio communication system is constituted of a radio base station 1, plural radio repeater stations 2 and 3, and radio terminal stations 4, 5, and 6, and each station is operated by a storage control program system. The radio base station 1 periodically collects the version-number of programs of the radio repeater stations 2 and 3, and the radio terminal stations 4, 5, and 6, and the version-number of constituting equipments 23 through a radio carrier. Then, a controller 12 confirms whether or not the latest version-number registered in a version-number management list 13 is coincided with the collected number, and outputs the result to a terminal 14 when the version-number is not coincided.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device version management system for wireless slave stations, which enables a wireless base station to manage the version numbers of all wireless slave station devices in a wireless communication system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a wireless communication system is composed of a wireless base station, a wireless relay station as a wireless slave station, and a wireless terminal station, each operating according to a storage control program system.

In a conventional system of this type, a maintenance person checks the program version number by reading the memory of each wireless slave station with a terminal as needed, and in particular, the constituent devices of each wireless slave station. There was no way to check the version number of.

[0004]

In the above-mentioned wireless communication system, since the version number of the equipment of each wireless slave station distributed over a wide area cannot be confirmed on the wireless base station side, the management of the wireless slave station is insufficient. There was a problem of becoming.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a device version management system for a wireless slave station that allows the wireless base station to manage the version of the device of the wireless slave station. To aim.

[0006]

To achieve the above object, a device version management system for a wireless slave station according to the present invention comprises a wireless base station, a plurality of wireless relay stations, and a wireless terminal station.
In the wireless communication system in which the wireless relay station and the wireless terminal station operate according to the storage control program method, the latest version number registration for registering the latest version of the programs and constituent devices of the wireless relay station and the wireless terminal station in the wireless base station Means and a version number collecting means for periodically collecting the program version numbers of the wireless relay station and the wireless terminal station and the version numbers of the constituent devices via the wireless carrier;
The registered version number is collated with the collected version number to identify a station whose collected version number does not match the latest version number.

[0007]

According to the device version management system of the wireless slave station having the above configuration, the programs of the wireless relay station and the wireless terminal station and the latest version of the constituent device are input in advance from the maintenance person's terminal at the wireless base station. Register by. Then, the wireless base station periodically collects the program version numbers of the wireless relay station and the wireless terminal station and the version numbers of the constituent devices via the wireless carrier, compares them with the registered version numbers, and confirms that the latest version numbers do not match. Identify the station.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a wireless communication system to which a device version management method for a wireless slave station according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

The wireless communication system includes a wireless base station 1 for remotely monitoring the wireless relay stations 2 and 3 and the wireless terminal stations 4, 5 and 6 via wireless communication. The wireless relay stations 2 and 3 and the wireless terminal stations 4, 5 and 6 that are installed in a plurality of distributed units are configured as wireless slave stations, and each operates according to a storage control program method.

Each of the radio relay stations 2, 3 and the radio terminal stations 4, 5, 6 is composed of a transmitting / receiving device, an antenna 21, a control device 22, and a component device 23.

When changing the programs and constituent devices of the wireless relay stations 2 and 3 and the wireless terminal stations 4, 5 and 6, the wireless base station 1 sets the program version number and the constituent device version number which the maintenance person plans to change. Input terminal 14 and version management list 13 as the latest version registration means for registering the input version
It has and.

The radio base station 1 also has a version number collecting function for collecting the version numbers of all stations via the transmitter / receiver 11, the latest version number registered in the version number management list 13, and the collected version number. And a discriminating function of discriminating a station whose collected version number does not match and outputting the discriminated station to the terminal 14.

Next, the operation of this wireless communication system will be described. Here, a case where the programs and constituent devices of the wireless terminal station 5 are replaced with the latest version numbers registered in the version number management list 13 of the wireless base station 1 will be described as an example. The control device 22 of the wireless terminal station 5 reads the latest version number according to the engineering setting of the component device 23. This work setting is component 2
It is set by the replacement operator when the 3 is replaced.

The component device 23 read by the control device 22
And the version number of the program that is currently running are reported to the wireless base station 1 at the time of requesting the version number periodically sent from the wireless base station 1, and the wireless base station 1 reports the version management list 13 The latest version number registered in is checked, and if it matches, the station is judged as the latest version number exchanged station.

In this manner, the constituent devices of all the wireless slave stations are replaced with the latest version while monitoring the wireless base station 1.

[0016]

As described above, according to the device version management system of the wireless slave station of the present invention, the latest version number of each device of the registered wireless slave station and the wireless base station periodically pass through the wireless carrier. The version number of each device of the wireless slave station collected in step 2 is checked and the station that does not match the latest version is identified, so the wireless base station monitors and manages the version number of the devices distributed in the rural area. It has the effect of being able to.
