Definitions
- the present invention relates to an interface circuit monitoring technology for a wireless communication system, and in particular, to a method for monitoring an A interface circuit between a base station subsystem (BSS) and a network subsystem (NSS) in a GSM communication system.
- BSS base station subsystem
- NSS network subsystem
- a complete GSM local network system usually includes two parts: BSS and NSS.
- BSS consists of a base station system (BTS), a base station controller (BSC), and a code conversion and rate adaptation unit (TRAU).
- the NSS consists of mobile switching.
- the center (MSC), the visitor location register (VLR) and the home location register (HLR) are composed of other parts.
- the interface between BSS and NSS is the A interface, and the A interface is an open standard interface.
- BSS products and NSS products produced by various equipment manufacturers must support this standard interface, so that BSS products and NSS products from different manufacturers can be interconnected. To form an integrated GSM network.
- a single BSS or multiple BSS systems can be used as a local network, subordinate to the local mobile operating entity, and its corresponding NSS network can be a remote mobile operating entity.
- BSS acts as its slave and NSS acts as its master.
- NSS places some A interface circuits in an abnormal state for some reason, such as: out of step, abnormally busy State, even if the A interface circuits corresponding to the BSS side are in a normal state, these circuits will be unavailable for a long time.
- the BSS system cannot identify these abnormal A interface circuits, thus leaving expensive circuit resources idle.
- the TRAU unit In actual GSM products, there are basically two ways to implement the TRAU unit: one is the resource pool method, and the other is the embedded method. No matter how the TRAU unit is implemented, the TRAU unit logically belongs to the BSC, and its operation and maintenance is performed by the BSC. For a TRAU unit implemented in an embedded manner, the TRAU unit exists on the A interface circuit between the MSC and the BSC, and there is a corresponding TRAU unit on each A interface service circuit. In order to save transmission loss, the physical equipment of the TRAU unit should be as close to the MSC side as possible. The transmission, multiplexing, and demultiplexing equipment must be passed between the TRAU unit and the BSC. The physical connection is complicated, and it is easy to cause transmission problems, which makes various services impossible. For example: single-pass, dual-pass and data service calls cannot be performed, etc., which affects network service quality.
- the BSS system lacks effective monitoring methods.
- the second type of problem that is, the situation where the A interface circuit of the TRAU unit is prone to transmission problems, you can only rely on the complaints of online users to find the problem. After the user complains that such problems are detected, the maintenance staff manually dials the measurement position, which is efficient. low.
- the first type of problem that is, the BSS system cannot identify the abnormality of the A interface circuit. If the NSS side does not actively detect the state of the A interface circuit in time, unless the abnormality is serious, causing a network congestion accident, the user can be informed by complaining to the BSS operator. Otherwise, when only part of the A interface circuit is unavailable, the BSS system maintenance personnel cannot detect such problems, which will cause the waste of A interface circuit resources and reduce the call connection rate during busy hours.
- the main object of the present invention is to provide a practical method for monitoring the A interface circuit in a wireless communication system, which can timely identify various abnormal conditions that cause the A interface circuit to be unavailable, and accordingly, the corresponding A Interface circuit is maintained to avoid A connection Interface circuit resources are wasted and idle, which improves the busy-hour connection rate and improves the service quality of the BSS network.
- the invention can also identify the upstream ground circuit between the BSC exchange unit and the TRAU unit due to various software and hardware reasons. Transmission interrupted.
- the method provided by the present invention includes the following steps:
- a. Set a TRAU unit continuous inactive timer in each TRAU unit, and set a threshold for the timer by the BSC operation and maintenance unit.
- the timeout threshold of the timer is configured by the BSC operation and maintenance unit, which can be set to 24. Hours, the TRAU unit can be a TRAU unit implemented in an embedded manner;
- each TRAU unit When each TRAU unit receives service frame information from the BTS side, it starts normal services through in-band activation, that is, basic user-oriented services, such as voice and data services;
- the timer always maintains an untimed state
- the TRAU unit When the TRAU unit does not receive service frame information from the BTS side for a period of time, the TRAU unit is set to a non-service state;
- the timer starts counting from the non-timed state when the TRAU unit is set to the non-business state. During the time that the TRAU unit is in the non-business state, the timer keeps timing and keeps the timing state;
- the TRAU unit When the timer value is equal to its timeout threshold, the TRAU unit reports a timeout message to the BSC control unit through the TRAU uplink maintenance channel, indicating that the corresponding TRAU unit has not received the BTS uplink service information for the time set by the timer timeout threshold.
- the abnormal production is forwarded to the BSC operation and maintenance unit, and the BSS maintenance personnel locates the A interface circuit in question according to the timeout message.
- the timeout message reported by the TRAU unit carries the identifier corresponding to the TRAU unit or pair.
- Various parameters and information of the A interface circuit should be used. These parameters and information are forwarded to the BSC operation and maintenance unit as supplementary information. In short, the timeout message forwarded to the BSC operation and maintenance unit contains as many information parameters as possible that identify the corresponding TRAU unit or the corresponding A interface circuit.
- the method of the present invention further includes the following technical features: In the entire GSM system, the A interface circuit between BSS and NSS is selected for use with a certain cycle period.
- the timer's timeout threshold is greater than the maximum time interval at which the corresponding A interface circuit is repeatedly selected in a cycle. At the same time, it should not be too large, otherwise, if there is a problem with the A interface circuit or related physical connection, it will delay the discovery of the problem.
- the specific overtime threshold is determined on the principle that no false alarms occur, the complexity is not high, and the aforementioned problems can be identified in a timely manner.
- the BSC operation and maintenance unit When setting the threshold setting of the timer, the BSC operation and maintenance unit sends the timer configuration information to the BSC control unit through the BSC control unit downlink maintenance channel, and the BSC control unit forwards the configuration information to each A interface through each TRAU downlink maintenance channel.
- TRAU unit corresponding to the circuit.
- the relevant A interface circuit status is set to non- The idle state, and at the same time, the BSC control unit issues a command to stop the timer to the timer through the TRAU downlink maintenance channel of the TRAU unit corresponding to the relevant A interface circuit.
- the timer of this part of TRAU unit is always in the non-timed state, so as not to generate false alarm messages in this part of TRAU unit.
- the relevant A is set.
- the state of the interface circuit is idle, and at the same time, the BSC control unit issues a command to start the timer to the timer through the TRAU downlink maintenance channel of the TRAU unit corresponding to the relevant part A interface circuit. Make this part of the timer count from the cleared state.
- the BSC control unit When the BSC control unit does not receive the BTS uplink service information message within the time set by the timer threshold, the BSC control unit sends a reset message corresponding to the A interface circuit of the TRAU unit to the MSC side, and causes the BSC on both sides of the A interface circuit And the state of the MSC is set back to the idle state to restore these problematic A interface circuits. Avoid that the A interface circuit is unavailable for a long time due to an abnormality on the MSC side, so as not to waste related A interface circuit resources.
- the BSC control unit can send a timeout message to the BSC control unit through the TRAU uplink maintenance channel at a certain period.
- the sending period setting of the timeout message should consider the processing capacity of the BSC control unit and the overall alarm message volume.
- the monitoring method of the A interface circuit corresponding to the embedded TRAU unit can be automatically identified in time
- the A interface circuit is unavailable due to software and hardware reasons, and has a 100% failure detection rate. Therefore, in the case where the A interface circuit is unavailable due to various reasons, the A interface circuit resources are wasted for a long time, the maintainability of the BSS system is improved, the quality of service of the wireless communication network is reduced, and the cost for solving the problem is reduced. The quality requirements of the maintenance personnel configured for Class A interface problems. Brief description of the drawings
- Figure 1 shows the basic components of a complete GSM local network system
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the monitoring method of the A interface circuit of the GSM communication system. Mode for Carrying Out the Invention The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

- NSS11 is composed of MSC5, visited location register (VLR) and home location register (HLR).
- VLR visited location register
- HLR home location register
- the schematic diagram of the A interface circuit monitoring method of the GSM communication system is shown in Figure 2.
- the solid part is the design of the relevant part of the GSM system that needs to be changed in order to implement the A interface circuit monitoring function;
- the dotted part is the part that requires participation but does not need to make design changes in the implementation of this monitoring function.
- the routing mode of the A interface is set to the circular selection mode.
- the A interface circuit corresponding to each TRAU unit is cyclically used at a certain period, which is closely related to the traffic volume. If the amount of traffic is large, the selection period of the A interface circuit is short, and each A interface circuit is used more frequently.
- the corresponding TRAU unit 3 will be frequently activated by the uplink service information sent by the BTS1 side. On the contrary, the amount of traffic is small.
- the selected period of the A interface circuit is long, and the period in which the corresponding TRAU unit 3 is activated by the uplink service information sent by the BTS1 side will also be extended.
- the corresponding TRAU unit 3 cannot receive the uplink service information sent by BTS1 So it cannot be activated.
- the so-called activation means that when the corresponding A interface circuit changes from the idle state (IDLE) to the busy state (BUSY), the TRAU unit 3 changes from the non-service functional state due to receiving various types of uplink service frame information sent by the BTS1. It is a service functional state, and performs code conversion of voice services and rate adaptation of data services.
- a timer is set in each TRAU unit 3, which is called the TRAU unit continuous inactive state timer.
- the timeout threshold setting of this timer should be greater than the corresponding A interface circuit where the TRAU unit 3 is located. time interval.
- the TRAU unit 3 When the TRAU unit 3 is in the inactive state, the TRAU unit continues to inactive the timer. When the timer value equals its timeout value, the TRAU unit 3 reports to the control unit 21 of the BSC2 through the TRAU uplink maintenance channel 25. The timeout message indicates that the corresponding TRAU unit 3 has had the duration of the timer timeout threshold setting and did not receive an abnormal occurrence of the BTS1 uplink service information. The control unit 21 of the BSC2 forwards the message to the BSC2 through the uplink maintenance channel 24 of the BSC control unit. Operation maintenance unit 22 for BSS system maintenance personnel to view.
- the timeout message reported by TRAU unit 3 carries parameters identifying the corresponding TRAU unit 3 or the corresponding A interface circuit; when the control unit 21 of BSC2 forwards the timeout message to the operation and maintenance unit of BSC2, it obtains the physical channel from the timeout message obtained. Obtained further supplementary information identifying the corresponding TRAU unit 3 or the corresponding A interface circuit, and forwarded the supplementary information to the operation and maintenance unit 22 of the BSC2 as a timeout message supplementary parameter; in short, the timeout message forwarded to the BSC operation and maintenance unit 22 contains sufficient information
- the ID corresponds to the information parameter of the TRAU unit 3 or the A interface circuit, and is used by the BSS system maintenance personnel to locate the related TRAU unit 3 or A interface circuit problem as accurately as possible.
- the control unit 21 of BSC2 When the control unit 21 of BSC2 does not receive the BTS1 uplink service information message within the set period of the continuous inactive timer threshold reported by TRAU unit 3, the control unit 21 of BSC2 sends a response corresponding to TRAU unit 3 to the MSC5 side.
- the reset message of the A interface circuit returns the states of BSC2 and MSC5 on both sides of the A interface circuit to the idle state, which prevents the A interface circuit from being unavailable for a long time due to an abnormality on the MSC5 side, thereby avoiding waste of resources of the related A interface circuit. .
- the reset of the A interface circuit means that the A interface circuit changes from a busy state (BUSY) to an idle state.
- BUSY busy state
- IDLE idle state
- TRAU vehicle unit 3 cannot receive the various types of uplink service frame information sent by BTS1 for a period of time
- TRAU unit 3 changes from a service functional state to a non-service functional state.
- a period of time is generally tens of milliseconds to hundreds of milliseconds.
- the service functional state refers to code conversion of voice services and rate adaptation of data services.
- a timeout message may be sent to the control unit 21 of BSC2 through the TRAU uplink maintenance channel 26 at a certain period.
- the sending period of the timeout message is set. It depends on the processing capacity of the control unit 21 of the BSC2 and the total amount of alarm messages.
- BSC2 because the relay device of the A interface circuit is identified to be faulty, or the A interface circuit is blocked for maintenance operation, or a message that the MSC5 is blocked in the A interface circuit is received, when the state of the related A interface circuit is set to a non-idle state, BSC2 controls The unit 21 issues a command to turn off the timer through the downlink maintenance channel 25 of the TRAU unit 3 corresponding to the interface circuit of the relevant part, so that the timer of this part of the TRAU unit 3 is always non-timed, so as to avoid false alarm messages in this part of the TRAU unit 3.
- BSC2 When BSC2 recognizes that the A-interface circuit relay equipment is restored, or performs maintenance operations on the A-interface circuit, or receives a message that MSC5 releases or resets the A-interface circuit, the related A-interface circuit state is reset to the idle state, and BSC2
- the control unit 21 issues a command to open the timer through the downlink maintenance channel 25 of the TRAU unit corresponding to the interface circuit of the relevant part A, so that the timer of this part of the TRAU unit 3 restarts working.
- the timer timeout threshold cannot be less than the maximum time interval for the corresponding A interface circuit to be repeatedly selected. Otherwise, a false alarm message for timer timeout may be reported, that is, the above abnormal timeout false alarm message may be reported under normal use of the A interface circuit.
- the timer timeout threshold can be configured by the BSC2 operation and maintenance unit 22.
- the BSC2 operation and maintenance unit 22 is sent to the BSC2 control unit 21 through the BSC control unit downlink maintenance channel 23, and the BSC2 control unit 21 passes The row maintenance channel 25 is forwarded to the TRAU unit 3 corresponding to each A interface circuit.
- the timers of the TRAU unit 3 corresponding to each A interface circuit can be set to different values, but the timeout threshold of the timer of each TRAU unit 3 must be greater than the maximum time interval for the corresponding A interface circuit to repeatedly select.
- timeout thresholds can be set on the timer by BSC2 to improve the above problems. Timeliness of identification.
- the control unit 21 of the BSC2 clears the message to the timer of the related TRAU unit 3 through the TRAU downlink maintenance channel 25.
- the timer timeout threshold of all TRAU units 3 corresponding to all the A interface circuits corresponding to the BSC2 side can be set to twenty-four hours.
