However, the HFC network-based heterogeneous platform management service providing system 1 of FIG. 1 is only an embodiment of the present invention, and thus the present invention is not limited to FIG.

Domestic cable TV operators use a variety of services such as digital broadcasting, VoD, high-speed Internet, VoIP, interactive data service, and T-commerce services using HFC (600) . The HFC network is a network in which the main trunk part of the cable broadcasting transmission network is improved with fiber optic cable, and it is a method of connecting to broadcasting station, optical network unit (ONU), optical cable, and optical circuit to subscriber by coaxial cable. A cable modem 700 is provided at each end of the subscriber to provide a high-speed data access service. Since the HFC network can constitute a cell with a high bandwidth and can transmit a radio wave directly to a subscriber, there is no loss of radio waves (attenuation due to an obstacle), and it is possible to perform a long distance transmission through an amplifier, There are few restrictions on speed and quality.

In addition, the HFC network is divided into an uplink band and a downlink band, so that it is possible to realize bidirectional services. Unlike conventional airwaves, there is no frequency used for radio, mobile communication, military use, And the like. It was because of the characteristics of the HFC network that it was able to provide telecommunication convergence service through digital cable TV.

Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, management complexity is rapidly increased (various networks, interfaces, and line speeds), multi-vendors and multi-protocols are expanded due to increase of topology and scale of LAN, WAN node, , The network and system management of multiple providers should be managed. As the various applications and services appear, the bandwidth of the network grows and the complexity increases dramatically due to the increase of environment and equipment. And therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for collectively managing this.

The configuration of the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention for managing and controlling the system configurations 100, 400, 500, 600, and 700 included in the HFC network is as follows.

The storage unit 310 divides the cable modem 700, which is brought into the house, into regions, assigns identification codes, and maps and stores the identification codes. In this way, the cable modem 700 can be managed by region and area, and the service quality can be measured or an in-out data stream can be managed when a service user has a problem.

The receiving unit 320 receives an access request (Req) through a Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) network and a CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) 500 of a stored cable modem (CM) .

The forwarding unit 330 may forward the received request to a backbone (100) network including a home network, a router, and a content provider (CP). The forwarding unit 330 transmits a response to the request of the backbone network 100 to a backbone 100 switching equipment, a system operator 400, and a multiple system operator 400 And is transmitted to the terminal end through the CMTS 500 and the HFC 600 through the in-house cable modem 700.

The monitoring unit 340 may monitor the status of network resources and computing resources corresponding to the data stream based on the request and the response. The monitoring unit 340 monitors at least one server and at least one server included in the SO 400 and the MSO 400 using the CPU usage rate, the CPU specific load, the memory usage rate (Total usage) Memory Usage, InOut Usage, Inout Error, Total Space, Usage, Usable, CPU Usage Rate and Memory Usage Rate by Process, OS (Operating System Name and Version, Up-time Monitoring and History Storage, IP Scanning, and a report on current disk usage. Here, the IP scanning can measure the current IP usage through scanning the IP network bandwidth of the equipment using the IP.

At this time, the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 permits connection from the external management terminal using a web browser, and allows the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 to access the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 by using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) IP (Internet protocol), and ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol).

Also, the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 directly connects and remotely controls at least one server and a terminal located in the HFC network using the SecurCRT, and controls the SO 400 and the MSO 400 of the HFC network The history, log, and operation status of network resources and computing resources of the at least one server and the terminal included therein can be monitored, and the access pages for each site can be separately monitored.

The heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 extracts the NIC (Network Information Center) status of the servers included in the local network of the HFC network by IP scanning and manages the history, And the number of current processors and the NIC traffic, CPU load, NIC error, total memory, and available memory of the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300.

The event log unit 350 monitors the state of a network resource and a computing resource corresponding to a data stream based on a request and a response in the monitoring unit 340 and then transmits the SO 400 and MSO The emergency information can be monitored by monitoring the event occurring in the main equipment and the sub equipment included in the mobile terminal 400 and transmitting the emergency information in conjunction with the event management, the email agent and the SMS agent, (Critical). At this time, the event includes a numerical value of a device list, an interface, an event cause and cause, and an event can be databaseed to include list, statistics, and graph information in a report.

The device management unit 360 monitors the status of network resources and computing resources corresponding to a data stream based on the request and the response in the monitoring unit 340 and then transmits the status information If an error occurs in the equipment included in the SO 400 and the MSO 400, the status of the mounted interface of the equipment can be listed up. Also, the device management unit 360 can arrange the installed interface list (SO (400) rting), output the Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) of the equipment in which the error has occurred, The time can be saved to the event log and track the error status of the current equipment.

Also, the report management unit 370 manages a report including a list of analyzed SLA (Service Level Agreement) and graphical information, controls an IP accessed through an ACL (Access Control List) You can control access to predefined applications.

In addition, the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may use RF-signal over IP (RoIP) to perform RF burst signal scheduling and DOCSIS (data over-cable service interface specifications) The performance of the HFC network can be improved.

In other words, RoIP is a technology for sampling uplink DOCSIS data transmitted in the form of RF burst signal in an HFC-based cable broadcasting network in the form of RF signal, quantizing the digital signal and transmitting the DOCSIS data through the optical IP network. Therefore, by applying RoIP technology, it is possible to interwork with optical IP network in a less expensive way without changing the transmission method of existing digital cable broadcasting such as headend and STB in the optical cable network and replacing the equipment, And it is a technology that is employed so as to facilitate evolution into a broadcasting and communication convergence type service.

At this time, the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 converts the uplink DOCSIS data transmission, which is transmitted in the form of an RF burst signal, into an IP packet and delivers the IP packet through the optical IP network. In order to transmit the DOCSIS uplink data of the subscriber terminal asynchronously, the DOCSIS uplink timing data is recovered from the RF burst signal transmitted from the terminal devices in the head end side RoIP processing apparatus and the DOCSIS uplink timing data is recovered in accordance with the original uplink transmission timing Scheduling for delivery to the CMTS 400 of the headend can be performed.

That is, the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 detects the burst data in which the collision occurred in the DOCSIS contention period during the scheduling of the RF burst signal transmitted through the IP network, and selects one of the two collided conflicts So that DOCSIS collision can be avoided.

In this case, the DOCSIS uplink transmission is a time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme in which the CTMS 400 allocates a bandwidth and transmits the allocated transmission control information to each terminal through a downlink MAP message when each terminal makes a data transmission request, Access) method. Each terminal compete through the DOCSIS contention period in the process of transmitting the request message. When two or more CMs 600 attempt to transmit at the same time, a collision occurs, the request information is lost, and the collision detection and retransmission service The occurrence of delay becomes inevitable.

Accordingly, since the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 receives the RF burst data through the optical IP network, the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 can receive the uplink RF data as packetized data without collision, In the process of restoring and rescheduling transmission to the CMTS 300, only one of the collision-related request information is selected and transmitted, thereby avoiding collision. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any method capable of improving the management and performance of the HFC network may be used.

In addition, the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 can control to have accurate network timing synchronization between the terminal and the head end. First, as described above, the downlink and uplink are divided into frequencies in the cable broadcasting network. In the downlink band, a signal is transmitted in a broadcasting scheme received by all terminals, and an uplink band is shared in a time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme by each subscriber. For example, the collision avoidance time of the allocated band between the terminals in the uplink band requires a very strict timing synchronization of 1us or less. Therefore, in order to operate the RoIP system, accurate timing synchronization between the terminal and the head end must be accompanied.

Especially, it should be synchronized between heterogeneous IP network and heterogeneous network, not RF based single network. First, uplink RF signal IP transmission including timing synchronization in the RoIP terminal system can be performed as follows.

First, the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 performs terminal access network synchronization. The heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 includes a reference clock synchronization through a SYNC message of a downlink signal, an Upstream Channel Descriptor (UCD) of a downlink signal, Time information estimation and compensation through information acquisition and reception burst detection time can be performed.

Second, the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 may implement transmit RF burst detection and acquisition, transmit RF burst acquisition and acquisition time information storage, and transmit RF burst signal compression.

Third, the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 controls the IP network connection, and generates and transmits an IP frame for transmission RF burst and acquisition time information. Next, in the RoIP headend system, an RF signal including timing synchronization The restoration process is as follows.

First, the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 may perform synchronization of a headend access network, and acquire time synchronization through reference clock synchronization and initial ranging through a SYNC message of a downlink signal. Then, the IP network interworking RF signal scheduling is performed. The UCD of the downlink signal, the burst time information acquisition by analyzing the MAP message, and the reception burst scheduling through the burst time information are performed. Finally, the method for acquiring network time synchronization differs slightly from that of D-to-A conversion and frequency conversion RoIP terminal systems and RoIP headend systems in performing RF signal restoration.

That is, in the RoIP terminal, clock synchronization is performed through the DOCSIS SYNC message on the downlink channel, and the network time is estimated through the MAP message and the burst acquisition time information. On the other hand, in the case of RoIP headend, it is possible to directly transmit RF signals to the CMTS, thereby acquiring network synchronization through ranging. The obtained synchronization information provides accurate timing information between the headend and the terminal by providing the timing information together with the burst data when each RF burst signal is transmitted.

In addition, the process of acquiring the RF burst signal is also one of the important parts to be accompanied by burst detection performance and accurate detection time measurement. To this end, the heterogeneous platform management service providing server 300 should grasp the burst types used in the downwardly transmitted UCD and the preamble pattern for each type. That is, by comparing the burst type preamble pattern with the burst signal to be inputted, the burst can be detected without error and the accurate acquisition time point can be obtained.

Accordingly, an embodiment of the present invention can provide a technology for enabling economical network evolution by allowing reuse of existing HFC-based broadcasting and communication equipment and terminals in the process of evolving a cable broadcasting network to FTTH .
