相信通过以下结合附图和具体实施例对本发明的详细说明, 本发明的 上述目的、 特征和优点将变得更明显。  The above described objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of the appended claims.
关于图 1、图 2和图 3, 已经在背景技术中进行描述,此处省略其说明。 本发明的核心思想在于根据 ASTN网络的框架结构, 将复杂控制节点 分解为两个逻辑控制节点, 按照分层的思想完成相关的 ASTN功能。  With regard to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 3, description has been made in the background art, and the description thereof is omitted here. The core idea of the present invention is to decompose a complex control node into two logical control nodes according to the framework structure of the ASTN network, and perform related ASTN functions according to the layered idea.
下面以图 2所示的 ASTN网络和复杂控制节点 2为例具体说明本发明。 图 4是才艮据本发明的一个实施例的复杂控制节点的示意图。 如图 4所 示, 复杂控制节点包括全局控制节点, 其完成与 ASTN网络的其它控制节 点(例如控制节点 1, 3 )或 ASTN网络用户的交互,由全局控制平面( Global Control Plane, 简称 GCP )和全局传送平面( Global Transport Plane, 简 称 GTP )构成。 复杂控制节点还包括本地控制节点, 其根据全局控制节点 的控制信息实现对本地传送网络的控制, 由本地控制平面 ( Local Control Plane, 简称 LCP )和本地传送平面 ( Local Transport Plane, 简称 LTP ) 构成。 这样, 图 3所示的复杂控制节点就可以分解为两个逻辑控制节点, 全局控制节点和本地控制节点。  The present invention will be specifically described below by taking the ASTN network and the complex control node 2 shown in Fig. 2 as an example. 4 is a schematic diagram of a complex control node in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the complex control node includes a global control node that performs interaction with other control nodes (eg, control nodes 1, 3) or ASTN network users of the ASTN network, and is controlled by a Global Control Plane (GCP). It is composed of a Global Transport Plane (GTP). The complex control node further includes a local control node, which implements control of the local transport network according to the control information of the global control node, and is composed of a Local Control Plane (LCP) and a Local Transport Plane (LTP). . Thus, the complex control node shown in Figure 3 can be decomposed into two logical control nodes, a global control node and a local control node.
进一步地,全局控制平面 GCP包括: 网络呼叫控制器 NCC ( Network Call Controller ) 、 连接控制器 CC ( Connection Controller ) 、 路由控制 器 RC ( Routing Controller ) 和链路资源管理器 LRM ( Link Resource Manager ) 。 GCP的网络呼叫控制器 NCC可接收 ASTN网络内其它控制 节点或 ASTN网络用户的呼叫请求, 按照标准控制节点中的处理过程进行 处理。 GCP的连接控制器 CC可接收 ASTN网络内其它控制节点或 ASTN 网络用户的连接请求, 按照标准控制节点中的处理过程进行处理。 GCP的 路由控制器 RC维护 ASTN网络的拓朴信息, 可接收 GCP的连接控制器 CC的路由查询请求, 提供网络的路由信息。 GCP的路由控制器 RC还可 以接收 ASTN网络内其它控制节点发送的链^^态(如链路可用、 链路不 可用、 链路忙等)信息, 并广播本地全局传送平面 GTP的链路状态信息, 包括边界链路 1-5的状态, 其处理过程与标准控制节点中的相同。 GCP的 链路资源管理器 LRM可以接收 GCP的连接控制器 CC发送的链路控制信 息, 包括建立子网连接 SNC ( Sub Network Connection )、释放子网连接, 并对该链路控制信息进行适配后转发到本地控制平面 LCP。 GCP 的链路 资源管理器 LRM还可以接收全局传送平面 GTP的链路状态信息。 Further, the global control plane GCP includes: a network call controller NCC (Network Call Controller), a connection controller CC (Connection Controller), a routing controller RC (Routing Controller), and a link resource manager LRM (Link Resource Manager). The network call controller NCC of the GCP can receive call requests from other control nodes or ASTN network users in the ASTN network, and process according to the processing procedures in the standard control node. The connection controller CC of the GCP can receive connection requests from other control nodes or ASTN network users in the ASTN network, and process according to the processing in the standard control node. The GCP routing controller RC maintains the topology information of the ASTN network, and can receive the routing query request of the GCP connection controller CC to provide routing information of the network. The routing controller RC of the GCP can also receive the chain status sent by other control nodes in the ASTN network (if the link is available, the link is not The available, link busy, etc. information, and broadcasts the link state information of the local global transport plane GTP, including the state of the border link 1-5, and the processing procedure is the same as in the standard control node. The link resource manager LRM of the GCP can receive the link control information sent by the connection controller CC of the GCP, including establishing a subnet connection SNC (Sub Network Connection), releasing the subnet connection, and adapting the link control information. It is then forwarded to the local control plane LCP. The link resource manager LRM of the GCP can also receive link state information of the global transport plane GTP.
全局传送平面 GTP是逻辑的传送节点,其完全封装了本地传送网络的 内部拓朴, 只有边界链路对 ASTN网络内其它控制节点可见。 可以采用如 下方式确定全局传送平面 GTP: 确定本地传送网络的边界, 以图 2的控制 节点 2为例, 围绕传送节点 Nl、 N2、 N3、 N4和 N5的外部链路 1、 2、 3、 4和 5确定出边界, 然后将边界内部抽象为一个逻辑的传送节点, 边界链 路 1〜5作为全局传送平面 GTP的输入输出链路。  Global Transport Plane GTP is a logical transport node that completely encapsulates the internal topology of the local transport network, with only the border links visible to other control nodes within the ASTN network. The global transport plane GTP can be determined in the following manner: Determining the boundary of the local transport network, taking the control node 2 of FIG. 2 as an example, the outer links 1, 2, 3, 4 surrounding the transport nodes N1, N2, N3, N4 and N5 And 5 determine the boundary, and then abstract the interior of the boundary as a logical transfer node, and the boundary links 1 to 5 serve as input and output links of the global transfer plane GTP.
另外, 本地控制平面 LCP包括: 连接控制器 CCsub, 其处理来自 GCP 的链路资源管理器 LRM的链路控制信息以及本地传送平面 LTP的链路故 障信息; 路由控制器 RCsub, 可以提供在本地控制节点内的路由信息; 链 路资源管理器 LRMsub,其接收本地传送平面 LTP的链路状态信息和 /或向 本地传送平面 LTP内的网元发送连接建立或释放信息。 In addition, the local control plane LCP includes: a connection controller CCsub that processes link control information of the link resource manager LRM from the GCP and link failure information of the local transport plane LTP; the routing controller RCsub can be provided at The routing information in the local control node; the link resource manager LRM sub receives the link state information of the local transport plane LTP and/or sends connection establishment or release information to the network element in the local transport plane LTP.
本地传送平面 LTP是由本地传送网络构成, 例如传送节点 Nl、 N2、 N3、 N4、 N5以及上述节点之间的链路。  Local Transport Plane LTP consists of a local transport network, such as transport nodes N1, N2, N3, N4, N5 and the links between the above mentioned nodes.
通过以上描述可以看出, 采用本实施例, 复杂控制节点可以由两个逻 辑的控制节点构成, 这两个控制节点按照分层的思想实现对 ASTN网络和 本地传送网络的控制。  As can be seen from the above description, with the present embodiment, the complex control node can be composed of two logical control nodes that implement control of the ASTN network and the local transport network in accordance with the layered idea.
复杂控制节点在处理 ASTN网络内其它控制节点或 ASTN网络用户的 呼叫请求时, 由 GCP 的网络呼叫控制器负责接受和处理, 其处理流程与 标准控制节点的相同, 因此, 此处不再详细描述。  When the complex control node processes the call request of other control nodes or ASTN network users in the ASTN network, it is accepted and processed by the GCP network call controller. The processing flow is the same as that of the standard control node. Therefore, it will not be described in detail here. .
图 5是根据本发明的一个实施例的复杂控制节点的连接控制方法的示 意图, 其中使用 "箭头 +数字" 的形式表示信号的流向和处理顺序。 如图 5 所示, 首先 GCP的连接控制器 CC接收 ASTN网络内其它控制节点或用户的 连接请求(箭头 1 ) , 如接收来自控制节点 1的连接请求。 当收到连接请 求后, GCP的连接控制器 CC根据重路由方式确定是否需要向 GCP的路由控 制器 RC查询请求建立的连接的路由信息。如果需要查询,则向 GCP的路由 控制器 RC发送查询请求(箭头 2 ) ,并获得返回的路由结果信息(箭头 3 )。 如果不需要查询, 或者获得路由结果信息后, GCP的连接控制器 CC根据收 到的连接请求携带的信息, 向 GCP的链路资源管理器 LRM发送链路控制信 息 (箭头 4 ) , 其中链 空制信息包括子网连接建立或子网连接释放, 在 本实施例中, 可以例如是建立 GTP的 1、 4链路的子网连接。 GCP的链路资 源管理器 LRM收到链 制信息后, 根据映射关系对链 制信息进行适 配, 将 GCP层次的链路控制信息转换为 LCP层次的连接请求, 然后将适配 后的 LCP层次的连接请求转发到 LCP的连接控制器 CCsub (箭头 5 ) 。 5 is a schematic diagram of a connection control method of a complex control node in which the flow direction and processing order of signals are expressed in the form of "arrow + number" according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 5, the GCP connection controller CC first receives other control nodes or users in the ASTN network. A connection request (arrow 1), such as receiving a connection request from control node 1. After receiving the connection request, the connection controller CC of the GCP determines, according to the rerouting manner, whether it needs to query the routing controller RC of the GCP for the routing information of the connection that is requested to be established. If a query is needed, a query request (arrow 2) is sent to the routing controller RC of the GCP, and the returned routing result information (arrow 3) is obtained. If no query is required, or the routing result information is obtained, the connection controller CC of the GCP sends link control information (arrow 4) to the link resource manager LRM of the GCP according to the information carried in the received connection request, where the link is empty. The system information includes a subnet connection establishment or a subnet connection release. In this embodiment, for example, a subnet connection of the 1 and 4 links of the GTP may be established. After receiving the chain information, the link resource manager LRM of the GCP adapts the chain information according to the mapping relationship, converts the link control information of the GCP level into a connection request of the LCP level, and then adjusts the LCP level after the adaptation. The connection request is forwarded to the LCP's connection controller CC sub (arrow 5).
LCP的连接控制器 CCsub收到 LCP层次的连接请求后, 向 LCP的路 由控制器 RCsub查询 (箭头 6 ) , 获取该连接的路由信息(箭头 7 ) , 例如 对于建立 1、 4链路的子网连接, 获取的建立连接的路由信息可以是 "N1 →N5→N4" 。 并且, LCP的连接控制器 CCsub向 LCP的链路资源管理器 LRMsub发送资源处理信息(箭头 8 ) , 该资源处理信息包括资源预留信息 或资源释;^信息, 在本实施例中, 是资源预留信息。 LCP的链路资源管理 器 LRMsub向本地传送网络中与此次连接有关的网元发送连接信息, 例如 向 Nl、 N5、 N4发送(箭头 9a、 9b、 9c ) SNC和链路连接 LC建立信息。 然后 LCP的链路资源管理器 LRMsub从这些网元接收响应信息(箭头 10a、 10b、 10c ) , 并转发到 LCP的连接控制器 CCsub (箭头 11 ) 。 再由 LCP 的连接控制器 CCsub将响应信息返回给 GCP的链路资源管理器 LRM (箭 头 12 ) , 然后发送给 GCP的连接控制器 CC (箭头 13 ) 。 GCP的连接控 制器 CC根据返回的响应信息, 确定是否继续传递连接请求(箭头 14 ) 。 After receiving the LCP level connection request, the LCP connection controller CC sub queries the LCP route controller RC sub (arrow 6) to obtain the connection routing information (arrow 7), for example, for establishing the 1 and 4 links. The subnet connection, the obtained routing information for establishing a connection may be "N1 → N5 → N4". And, the connection controller CC sub of the LCP sends resource processing information (arrow 8) to the link resource manager LRM sub of the LCP, where the resource processing information includes resource reservation information or resource release information; in this embodiment, Is resource reservation information. The link resource manager LRM sub of the LCP sends connection information to the network element related to the connection in the local transport network, for example, sends to Nl, N5, N4 (arrows 9a, 9b, 9c) SNC and link connection LC establishment information . The link resource manager LRM sub of the LCP then receives response information (arrows 10a, 10b, 10c) from these network elements and forwards it to the connection controller CC sub (arrow 11) of the LCP. The response information is then returned by the LCP's connection controller CC sub to the GCP's link resource manager LRM (arrow 12) and then to the GCP's connection controller CC (arrow 13). The connection controller CC of the GCP determines whether to continue to transmit the connection request (arrow 14) based on the returned response information.

图 6是根据本发明的另一个实施例的复杂控制节点的连接控制方法的 示意图。 如图 6所示, 首先, GCP的连接控制器 CC接收 ASTN网络内其 它控制节点或用户的连接请求(箭头 1 ) , 如接收来自控制节点 1的连接 请求。 当收到连接请求后, GCP的连接控制器 CC根据重路由方式确定是 否需要向 GCP的路由控制器 RC查询路由信息。如果需要查询,则向 GCP 的路由控制器 RC发送查询请求(箭头 2 ) , 并获得返回的路由结果信息 (箭头 3 ) 。 如果不需要查询, 或者获得路由结果信息后, GCP的连接控 制器 CC根据连接请求携带的信息,向 GCP的链路资源管理器 LRM发送 链路查询请求(箭头 4 ) , 请求查询 GTP的链路状态信息。 GCP的链路 资源管理器 LRM返回相关的链路状态信息(箭头 5 ) , 例如 GTP的 1、 4 链路空闲。然后 GCP的连接控制器 CC根据收到的相关链路状态信息, 将 链路控制信息转换为 LCP的连接控制信息, 例如将 "建立 GTP的 1、 4 链路的 SNC" 转换为 LCP的 "连接建立"信息, 并向 LCP的连接控制器 CCsub传递(箭头 6 ) 。 6 is a schematic diagram of a connection control method of a complex control node according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, first, the connection controller CC of the GCP receives a connection request (arrow 1) of other control nodes or users in the ASTN network, such as receiving a connection request from the control node 1. After receiving the connection request, the connection controller CC of the GCP determines whether it needs to query the routing controller RC of the GCP for routing information according to the rerouting manner. If a query is required, a query request (arrow 2) is sent to the routing controller RC of the GCP, and the returned routing result information (arrow 3) is obtained. If no query is required, or the routing result information is obtained, the connection controller CC of the GCP sends a link query request (arrow 4) to the link resource manager LRM of the GCP according to the information carried by the connection request, requesting to query the link of the GTP. status information. The link resource manager LRM of the GCP returns the relevant link state information (arrow 5), for example, the links 1 and 4 of the GTP are idle. Then, the connection controller CC of the GCP converts the link control information into the connection control information of the LCP according to the received link state information, for example, converting the "establishing GTP 1, 4 link SNC" into the LCP "connection" Establish "information and pass to the LCP connection controller CC sub (arrow 6).
LCP的连接控制器 CCsub收到连接控制信息后, 向 LCP的路由控制 器 RCsub查询(箭头 7 ) , 获取连接的路由信息(箭头 8 ) , 例如对于建立 1、 4链路的子网连接, 获取的连接的路由信息可以是 "N1→N5→N4,, 。 并且, LCP的连接控制器 CCsub向 LCP的链路资源管理器 LRMsub发送资 源预留信息(箭头 9 ) 。 LCP的链路资源管理器 LRMsub向本地传送网络 中与此次连接有关的网元发送连接信息, 例如向 Nl、 N5、 N4发送(箭头 10a, llb 11c )SNC和 LC建立信息。然后 LCP的链路资源管理器 LRMsub 从这些网元接收响应信息(箭头 lla、 lib, 11c ) , 并转发到 LCP的连接 控制器 CCsub (箭头 12 )。 再由 LCP的连接控制器 CCsub将响应信息返回 给 GCP的连接控制器 CC (箭头 13 ) 。 GCP的连接控制器 CC根据返回 的响应信息, 确定是否继续传递连接请求(箭头 14 ) 。 通过以上描述可以看出, 本实施例与图 5所示实施例相比, GCP的链 路资源管理器 LRM不进行对建立或释放 SNC的链路控制信息的适配, 而 是由 GCP的连接控制器 CC与 LCP的连接控制器 CCsub直接进行通信。 After receiving the connection control information, the LCP connection controller CC sub queries the RCP routing controller RC sub (arrow 7) to obtain the connected routing information (arrow 8), for example, for establishing the subnet connection of the 1 and 4 links. The obtained routing information of the connection may be "N1→N5→N4,,. Moreover, the connection controller CCsub of the LCP sends resource reservation information (arrow 9) to the link resource manager LRM sub of the LCP. LCP chain The path resource manager LRM sub sends connection information to the network element related to the connection in the local transmission network, for example, sends (arrows 10a, 11b, 11c) SNC and LC establishment information to N1, N5, N4. Then the link resource of the LCP The manager LRM sub receives response information (arrows 11a, lib, 11c) from these network elements and forwards them to the connection controller CC sub (arrow 12) of the LCP. The connection information CC sub of the LCP returns the response information to the GCP. The connection controller CC (arrow 13). The connection controller CC of the GCP determines whether to continue the connection request (arrow 14) based on the returned response information. As can be seen from the above description, in this embodiment, the link resource manager LRM of the GCP does not perform adaptation of the link control information for establishing or releasing the SNC, but is connected by the GCP. The controller CC communicates directly with the connection controller CC sub of the LCP.
进一步地,在图 6所示的实施例中 ,还可以由 LCP的连接控制器 CCsub 向本地传送网络中与此次连接有关的网元发送连接信息, 具体包括: 当 LCP的连接控制器 CCsub收到连接控制信息后,向 LCP的路由控制器 RCsub 查询连接的路由信息, 并且向 LCP的链路资源管理器 LRMsub查询链路状 态信息,例如链路 Nl→ N5和 N5→ N4空闲。然后 LCP的连接控制器 CCsub 根据上述信息生成连接信息, 向本地传送网络中的有关网元发送。 Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the connection controller CC sub of the LCP may also send connection information to the network element related to the connection in the local transmission network, which specifically includes: when the connection controller CC of the LCP After receiving the connection control information, the sub query the routing information of the LCP routing controller RC sub , and query the link resource manager LRM sub of the LCP for link state information, for example, links N1→N5 and N5→N4 idle. . The connection controller CC sub of the LCP then generates connection information based on the above information and transmits it to the relevant network element in the local transmission network.
通过以上描述可以看出, 本实施例可以在 LCP 的链路资源管理器 LRMsub不具有向网元发送连接信息时使用。 As can be seen from the above description, this embodiment may be used when the link resource manager LRM sub of the LCP does not have the connection information sent to the network element.
图 7是根据本发明的再一个实施例的复杂控制节点的连接控制方法的 示意图。 如图 7所示, 首先 GCP的连接控制器 CC接收 ASTN网络内其 它控制节点或用户的连接请求(箭头 1 ) , 如接收来自控制节点 1的连接 请求。 当收到连接请求后, GCP的连接控制器 CC根据重路由方式确定是 否需要向 GCP的路由控制器 RC查询路由信息。如果需要查询,则向 GCP 的路由控制器 RC发送查询请求(箭头 2 ) , 并获得返回的路由结果信息 (箭头 3 ) 。 如果不需要查询, 或者获得路由结果信息后, GCP的连接控 制器 CC根据收到的连接请求携带的信息,向 GCP的链路资源管理器 LRM 发送链 制信息(箭头 4 ) , 例如建立 GTP的 1、 4链路的子网连接。  Figure 7 is a diagram showing a connection control method of a complex control node according to still another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 7, first, the connection controller CC of the GCP receives a connection request (arrow 1) from other control nodes or users in the ASTN network, such as receiving a connection request from the control node 1. After receiving the connection request, the GCP connection controller CC determines whether it needs to query the routing controller RC of the GCP for routing information according to the rerouting mode. If a query is required, a query request (arrow 2) is sent to the routing controller RC of the GCP, and the returned routing result information (arrow 3) is obtained.

Connection, the obtained routing information of the connection can be "N1 → N5 → N4". Then, the connection controller CC sub of the LCP queries the link resource manager LRM sub of the LCP (arrow 8) to obtain link state information (arrow 9), for example, links N1 → N5 and N5 - N4 are idle. Then the connection controller CC sub of the LCP is based on the obtained routing information and link state information of the connection. The SNC and LC setup information is generated and sent to the relevant network elements in the local transport network (arrows 10a, 10b, 10c). The connection controller CC sub of the LCP then receives response information (arrows 11a, lib, 11c) from these network elements and forwards it to the link resource manager LRM (arrow 12) of the GCP. The response information is then returned to the GCP connection controller CC (arrow 13) by the link resource manager LRM of the GCP. The connection controller CC of the GCP determines whether to continue to transmit the connection request (arrow 14) based on the returned response information.
在本实施例中, 还可以由 GCP的连接控制器 CC向 LCP的连接控制 器 CC发送连接控制信息, 具体包括: 当不需要查询或者获得路由信息后, GCP的连接控制器 CC根据连接请求携带的信息, 向 GCP的链路资源管 理器 LRM查询 GTP的链路状态信息, GCP的链路资源管理器 LRM返回 相关的链路状态信息,然后 GCP的连接控制器 CC根据收到的相关链路状 态信息, 将链路控制信息转换为 LCP的连接控制信息, 并向 LCP的连接 控制器 CCsub传递。 In this embodiment, the connection control controller CC of the GCP may also send the connection control information to the connection controller CC of the LCP, including: After the routing information is not needed, the connection controller CC of the GCP carries the connection request according to the connection request. The information is queried to the link resource manager LRM of the GCP for the link state information of the GTP, and the link resource manager LRM of the GCP returns the relevant link state information, and then the connection controller CC of the GCP receives the relevant link according to the link.
