BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile communication switching center, a maintenance operation center connected to the mobile communication switching center, and a plurality of base station controllers connected to the mobile communication switching center.
NO. The present invention relates to a point code setting method of a base station control device for setting a point code for signal control to each of the base station control devices in a mobile communication system connected by a 7 common line signaling system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A mobile communication switching center, a maintenance and operation center connected to the mobile communication switching center for performing maintenance of the mobile communication system, and a plurality of base station connecting devices similarly connected to the mobile communication switching center, In addition to the normal communication line, the NO. 7 common signal lines are connected, and line non-corresponding signals such as mobile information of mobile stations, subscriber information and billing information are transferred through these signal lines.

Conventionally, when a point code for signal control, which is an identification code, is set in a base station controller, its own point code is set in the base station controller when the system is developed, and at the same time, this point code is set. The developer checks and confirms the point codes of the mobile communication switching center and the maintenance operation center corresponding to the base station control device, and sets them as individual data. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a situation in which each base station controller individually sets each point code in this type of mobile communication system.

That is, in FIG. 3, for example, when the base station control device BS2 is introduced into the system 1, this device B is used.
S2 is a mobile switching center MS1 and a maintenance operation center OM1.
Since it is under the control of the base station controller BS2, the individual point data of the base station controller BS2 is “03”.
-002 ", the point code" 01-001 "of the mobile switching center MS1, and the point code" 02-001 "of the maintenance operation center OM1 are set. Also, when the base station control device BS50 is introduced into the system 1, the point code "03-0" of the base station control device BS50 is also used.
The point codes of the mobile communication switching center and the maintenance operation center are the same as those of the base station BS2 except that "50" is different from that of the base station controller BS2.

In this way, each time a base station controller is newly introduced and installed in the system, in addition to its own point code, each point of the mobile communication switching center and maintenance operation center in this mobile communication system. Code is set.

[0006]

The point code set in each base station controller installed in the same system as described above is different from the point code for the base station controller except for the mobile communication exchange. As shown in FIG. 3, the point codes for the station and maintenance operation center are set to the same code from the base station controller BS1 to the base station controller BS50. Despite this situation,
The developer of the base station controller must check and set the point code for the mobile communication switching center and the point code for the maintenance and operation center for every installed base station controller, and set it. As a result, the work becomes complicated, and the time required for setting becomes long, and there is a risk of erroneous setting.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to simplify the point code setting operation for a base station controller and prevent erroneous point code setting.

[0007]

In order to solve such a problem, the present invention is directed to NO. 7 Within the common signaling network, the mobile communication switching center to which the first point code is assigned, the maintenance operation center connected to the mobile communication switching center and to which the second point code is assigned, and the mobile communication switching center are connected. A plurality of base station control devices each provided with a different third point code are provided, and
When setting a third point code unique to each base station controller and the first and second point codes for each base station controller provided, a storage means for storing the third point code Is provided in each base station controller, and a database for storing each third point code and the first and second point codes corresponding to each of these third point codes as common data. It is provided in the 7 common signal network. In addition, the base station controller reads the third point code of its own device at the time of the initialization processing at the time of activation, accesses the common data, searches for the third point code, and reads the third point code in the common data.
If the point code of No. 1 matches the third point code of the own device, the first and second point codes in the common data corresponding to the third point code may be set in the own device. is there.

[0008]

Each base station controller is provided with storage means for storing the third point code, and each third point code and the first and second points corresponding to each of these third point codes. The point code is stored in the database as common data. As a result, when the point code is set by the base station controller, the corresponding first and second point codes in the common data are automatically set, so that the point code setting operation is omitted, and accordingly, the setting error is made. It is possible to prevent erroneous setting of the point code due to the above. Also, the base station controller reads out the third point code of its own device during the initialization processing before the normal processing is started, and if this matches the third point code in the common data, the third point code The first and second point codes in the common data corresponding to the point code are set in the own device. As a result, when the point code is set, it can be surely set without affecting normal processing.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a mobile communication system to which the present invention is applied. In the figure, reference numerals 1 and 2 denote mobile communication systems, and the mobile communication system 1 includes a mobile communication switching center MS1, a maintenance operation center OM1, and 50 base station control devices BS1 connected to the mobile communication switching center MS1.
~ BS50. Then, each of these parts has a CCITT-specified NO. 7 common signal line (No. 7 common signal network) In addition to line-corresponding information such as call control information through this signal line, non-correspondence such as mobile station movement information, subscriber information and billing information Signals are also transferred.

The mobile communication system 1 and the above-mentioned NO.
The mobile communication system 2 connected by the 7 common signal line includes a mobile communication switching center MS2, a maintenance operation center OM2, and 50 base station control devices B connected to the mobile communication switching center MS2.
It is composed of T1 to BT50. Each of these parts also has the above-mentioned NO. 7 Common signal network. In the system configured as above, when setting a point code for signal control, which is an identification code, for each base station controller, conventionally, each base station controller is the same every time it is installed in the system. Since each point code of the mobile communication switching center and the maintenance operation center in the system is set, there is a drawback that the setting becomes complicated.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned NO. The database 3 is connected to the 7 common signal lines, and each base station controller is configured to read and set the point code for its own device from the database 3. That is, in the column of the base station control device of the database 3 in FIG. 1, each base station control device BS1, ..., BS50, BT
Corresponding to 1, ..., “03-001” ,.
The point codes of the respective base station control devices of “3-050”, “03-051”, ... Are stored as common data. In addition, “01-001” ..., “0” of the mobile communication switching center corresponding to each point code of each base station control device.

1 ", ...," 02-001 "," 02-002 ",
Each point code of ... Is stored as common data.

RA (not shown) of each base station controller
In the memory such as M, the point code of the own device is set in advance and stored and held. Each base station control device searches the database 3 for a matching point code based on the point code of its own device at the time of the initialization processing, and the mobile communication switching center and maintenance operation corresponding to the base station control device with the matching point code. Each point code of the center is read from the database 3 and set and stored in the memory of its own device. In this way, each point code of the mobile switching center and maintenance operation center in the system where the own device is installed can be automatically set during the initialization process, so that the point code can be reliably and quickly set in the base station controller. Can be set to.

Next, FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the main part of the present invention, showing the point code setting operation of the base station controller when it is installed in the system. That is, in the initialization process when the base station controller is installed in the system and the power is turned on, first in step ST1, the base station controller reads its own point code set and stored in the memory. Next, the base station control device first reads out the point code of the base station control device BS1 from the point codes of the respective base station control devices stored as common data in the database 3, and in step ST2, reads out the point code of its own device. To compare.

Then, in step ST3, it is determined whether the point codes match, and if they do not match, the process proceeds to step ST4. In step ST4, the point code of the next base station controller in the common data is read out, the process returns to step ST2, and in step ST2, it is compared with the point code of its own device. In this way, the point code of each base station control device in the common data is sequentially read and compared with the point code of its own device.

Then, as a result of comparison of each point code,
If both point codes match and the determination in step ST3 is “YES”, the base station controller determines in step ST3.
In 5, the point code of the mobile switching center and the point code of the maintenance operation center corresponding to the base station control device having the same point code on the common data are read out, set and stored in the memory of the own device, and the initialization process ends. To do.

As described above, during the initialization process of the base station controller, the base station controller accesses the common data in the database 3 based on the point code preset and stored in the base station controller, and the common data is stored in the common data. The point codes of the mobile switching center and the maintenance operation center that have been set are read out and set in the own device. As a result, as compared with the point code setting of the conventional base station control device, the setting time is significantly shortened, erroneous operations such as setting mistakes are prevented, and the point code can be set accurately.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, each base station controller is provided with a storage means for storing a third point code which is a point code of each base station controller, and each third station code is stored. And the first point code, which is the point code of the mobile telecommunication switching center corresponding to each of these third point codes, and the second point code, which is the point code of the maintenance and operation center,
Since it was stored in the database as common data, when setting the point code in the base station controller,
Since the corresponding first and second point codes in the common data can be automatically set, the work of setting the point code is omitted, and thus the erroneous setting of the point code due to a setting error or the like can be prevented. In addition, the base station control device performs the third process of its own device during the initialization process before the normal process is started.
When the point code of No. 1 is read and this matches the third point code in the common data, the first and second point codes in the common data corresponding to this third point code are set in the device. Therefore, when setting the point code, it is possible to surely set the point code without affecting normal processing.
