TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a distributed base station controller, a central unit, a remote unit, and a data transmission method in a distributed base station controller. Background technique

Currently, most metro mobile transport networks are divided into three layers: the core layer, the aggregation layer, and the access layer. The core layer is deployed in the central office and connected to the tandem node through the optical network. The aggregation layer node is deployed in the central computer room or module office of the cell; the access layer provides access ports for users.

The core layer is interconnected by high-speed optical links, mainly to provide fast forwarding of network packets and interconnection between aggregation nodes.

The aggregation layer is mainly composed of transmission devices located at the base station to access the aggregation node and the data aggregation point, and is responsible for traffic convergence and grooming in a certain area, and completes the convergence of the access layer traffic. The existence of the aggregation layer avoids the problem that the access point directly enters the core layer, resulting in a large span of the access network and serious consumption of the backbone fiber.

The access layer consists of transmission equipment located at the base station, data service access point, and other service access points, and is responsible for accessing services to each aggregation layer node.

On the uplink signaling plane, the uplink interface sub-unit of the C_BSC converts the signaling of the internal interface protocol sent by the R_BSC received by the internal interconnection interface sub-unit to the signaling of the IuCS or IuPS interface protocol, and forwards the signal to the IuCS or IuPS interface protocol. The core network device; on the service plane, the uplink interface sub-unit of the C_BSC converts the service data of the internal interface protocol sent by the R_BSC received by the internal interconnection interface sub-unit into the service data of the IuCS or IuPS interface protocol, and forwards the service data to Core network equipment;

On the operation and maintenance side, the internal interconnection interface sub-unit of C_BSC collects alarms from R_BSC, and sends performance information to the operation and maintenance sub-unit, which is sent to the network management center, and the configuration data is passed through the operation and maintenance sub-men. The unit and the internal interconnect interface subunit are sent to each R_BSC.

In the access network shown in Fig. 8A, for a CDMA system, the processing flow of C_BSC (which may be structured as shown in Fig. 3A) is basically the same as that in the above WCDMA system, except that:

Since the uplink interface subunit of the C_BSC is connected to the core network device through the Al/Alp or A9/A11 interface on the signaling plane, the uplink interface subunit is in Al/Alp when transmitting and receiving signaling. Or the A9/A11 interface protocol format and the distributed base station controller internal interface protocol format are mutually converted. The uplink interface sub-unit of the C_BSC is connected to the core network device through the A2/A2p/A8/A10 interface on the service plane. Therefore, when the uplink interface sub-unit transmits and receives service data, the A2/A2p/A8/A10 interface protocol is used. The format is converted to and from the distributed interface controller internal interface protocol format.

In the access network shown in Figure 8A, for a WCDMA system, the processing flow of R_BSC (which can be structured as shown in Figure 4C) is:

On the downlink signaling plane, the inter-connected uplink interface sub-unit of the R_BSC sends the signaling from the C_BSC to the signaling processing sub-unit for processing, and then sends the signaling to the downlink interface sub-unit, which converts the processed signaling into The lub interface signaling format is sent to the NodeB; at the same time, the R_BSC signaling processing sub-unit also implements radio resource management; on the service plane, the R_BSC internal interconnect uplink interface sub-unit sends the service data from the C_BSC to the service processing sub-unit The processing is performed, and then sent to the downlink interface sub-unit, which converts the processed service data into a lub interface data format and sends it to the NodeB. For the case where there is a soft handover branch, the service data can also be sent on multiple branches at the same time through the service processing sub-unit in the remote unit of the corresponding R_BSC.

On the signaling plane in the uplink direction, the downlink interface sub-unit of the R_BSC converts the signaling sent by the lub interface into an internal message format, and processes the signaling processing sub-unit, and then forwards it to the C_BSC by the intra-connected uplink interface sub-unit; On the service plane, the downlink interface sub-unit of the R_BSC converts the service data sent by the lub interface into an internal message format, and after being processed by the service processing sub-unit, if the macro-diversity is implemented, the intra-interface uplink sub-unit forwards the C_BSC to the C_BSC. ;

On the operation and maintenance side, the R_BSC collects alarms, performance statistics, and other information, and sends them to the C_BSC through the interface between the C_BSC and the R_BSC, and accepts the configuration data delivered by the C_BSC.

In the access network shown in FIG. 8A, for the CDMA system, the processing flow of the R_BSC is basically the same as that in the WCDMA system described above, except that: Since the downlink interface sub-unit of the R_BSC is connected to the base station through the Abis interface on the signaling plane and the service plane, the downlink interface sub-unit controls the Abis interface protocol format and the distributed base station when transmitting and receiving signaling and service data. The internal interface protocol formats are converted to each other.

FIG. 8B is a second schematic diagram of an access network based on a distributed base station controller according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The access network structure shown in FIG. 8B is based on FIG. 8A. The R_BSC performs multi-stage cascading, and one R_BSC can aggregate several R_BSCs of the next level and a plurality of base stations. As shown in Fig. 8B, R_BSC1 (which may be structured as shown in Fig. 4B) is connected to R_BSC4 and R_BSC5 (the structures of R_BSC4 and R_BSC5 may be as shown in Fig. 4A or 4C, respectively), and the BTS. The processing flow of its signaling or data is similar to the above process. Since the communication protocol adopted by the internal interconnection downlink interface subunit of R_BSC1 and the internal interconnection uplink interface subunit of R_BSC4 or R_BSC5 is an internal protocol of the distributed base station controller, protocol conversion is not required.

The R_BSC can be deployed as close as possible to the base station, which helps to improve the performance of the wireless network due to the shortened control path. You can deploy a 1_88 in the concentrated area of the base station, and then cascade to the central controller in a cascaded manner. It can be flexibly deployed according to the characteristics of the transmission network.

The reason for the cascaded network is related to the transmission network. If the wireless network is built in a relatively dispersed area, there are fewer users. If a non-distributed network is adopted, the coverage of one controller is very large, and the base stations in remote areas. The distance to the controller is very far. In this scenario, it is suitable for multi-level cascade for level-by-level aggregation. Another scenario is that users are distributed in a strip-like area, such as a coverage of a traffic line or a coverage area on both sides of a river. In this scenario, it is also suitable for multi-level cascading for level-by-level convergence.

In this embodiment, the C_BSC can be independently expanded, and the number of R_BSCs can also be increased as needed. Therefore, the access network system architecture based on the distributed base station controller is very flexible. Due to the capacity and function of the R_BSC, the volume can be reduced and the meshing is more flexible.

After the base station controller is distributed, the remote unit can be deployed flexibly and can be deployed to any location according to network performance requirements and transmission network structure requirements. In order to reduce the carrier's leased transmission network For the cost of the network, the remote unit with the aggregation function in the distributed base station controller, such as the SDU unit with the soft handover and merge function, can be deployed on the aggregation node in the transmission network to reduce the resource occupation and reduce the cost.

In the current mobile communication (such as CDMA/WCDMA/GSM system) transmission network, the transmission network is often divided into the "last mile" access part and the metro backbone transmission network; the "last mile" access method is diverse. The current, mainly based on microwave transmission. In the case of microwave transmission networking, there is basically one transmission aggregation node, and the setting of the transmission convergence point can reduce the resource requirement to the transmission network.

Embodiment 3

This embodiment describes a soft handover combining function in a distributed base station controller.

The SDU unit is decentralized to the radio access network structure of the transmission sink node, and the data processing process.

Referring to FIG. 9A, FIG. 9A is a schematic diagram of an access network using a remote unit (an SDU unit with a soft handover combining function) in a distributed base station controller as a transmission aggregation node according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In the access network, a plurality of BTSs are included, wherein a part of the BTSs are aggregated to R_BSC1 (the structure thereof can be as shown in FIG. 4A or FIG. 4C), and a part of the BSTs are aggregated to the R_BSC2 (the structure of which can be as shown in FIG. 4A or FIG. 4C) R_BSC1 and R_BSC2 are connected to C_BSC via a transmission network (for example, a synchronous digital transmission network SDN transmission network) (the structure can be as shown in FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B or FIG. 3C). Wherein C_BSC is a central unit; R_BSC1 and R_BSC2 are remote units, R_BSC1 is an SDU unit with soft handover combining function, and R_BSC1 is located at a transmission aggregation node. The base station can be lxS222, supports 168TCE, and is configured as two Els.

In the WCDMA system and the CDMA2000 communication system, since the soft handover is supported, there is a unit called an SDU in the distributed base station controller. The SDU unit selects the best quality one from the SDU at the SDU at the two soft handoff branches of the MS/UE (user terminal) and then sends it to the core network. Due to the soft handover and merge function of the SDU, the resource requirements on both sides of the SDU are different. The SDU downlink direction (to the base station side) needs more than the uplink direction (to the core network direction). Transfer resources.

In this embodiment, the R_BSC1 is a remote unit mainly composed of an SDU processing unit having a soft handover combining function, and 1 _: 88 (1 is placed on the transmission aggregation node, and the macro diversity set function of the SDU itself can be utilized, so that multiple After the branches are merged, the network is transferred.

The process of R_BSC1 converging data is:

The downlink interface subunit of the R_BSC1 receives the service data and signaling sent by the base station, and converts the service data and signaling into the service data and signaling format of the internal base station protocol of the distributed base station controller, and converts the service data after the protocol conversion. The service processing sub-unit sent to the R_BSC1, and sends the protocol-converted signaling to the signaling processing sub-unit; the service data received by the downlink interface sub-unit includes multi-branch data;

The service processing sub-unit of R_BSC1 may include a multi-branch merge sub-unit and a data recombination sub-unit. The multi-branch merge sub-unit uses its own macro-division and function to select the best quality for the multi-branch data in the service data, and combines the multi-branch processing and then sends it to the data recombination sub-unit; the data recombination sub-unit can be re-established The service data is packaged. After receiving the uplink air interface frame, the data reassembly subunit reorganizes the uplink frame, and the long packet mode may be adopted, that is, multiple service data packets are grouped into one uplink service data packet, and then the processed service is processed. The data packet is sent to the internal interconnect interface subunit of 1_:88 (1). The service processing subunit of R_BSC1 may further include a data convergence subunit, which can receive the data packet reorganized by the data recombination subunit, and performs statistical multiplexing. After the traffic is aggregated, it is sent to C_BSC through the internal interconnect interface sub-unit.

The service processing sub-unit of R_BSC1 may also include a local switching sub-unit for processing service data that may be processed locally without being sent to the core network or other network equipment. For example, for a user using the same vocoder, the call service after the call connection is established can be directly exchanged by the R_BSC1 locally, and does not need to be sent to the core network for processing, thereby saving part of the bandwidth. Reduce network latency.

After receiving the service data, the signaling processing sub-unit of the R_BSC1 performs signaling processing, and sends the processed signaling to the internal interconnect interface sub-unit of the R_BSC1; After receiving the processed service data and signaling, the internal interconnection interface sub-unit of R_BSC1 sends it to C_BSC.

In the above process, since the SDU terminates the branch, when the core network is sent to the core network, the service data can be re-packaged, and the plurality of service data packets are converted into one uplink service data packet by using the long packet method, so that each service is The proportion of overhead bits of the data packet is greatly reduced; in addition, since a plurality of data packets are combined into one data packet, the number of uplink packets is greatly reduced, and thus the number of packets on the SDH transmission network is greatly reduced. As a result, the leased or self-built SDH transmission network resources can be greatly reduced.

In this embodiment, an R_BSC (such as an SDU unit with soft handover function) having a distribution selection processing function may be placed on a suitable transmission aggregation node according to a network topology structure. Currently, there are tree networking and chain networking in the mobile communication network. For tree networking, this R_BSC can be placed at the branch to the trunk, close to the backbone transmission network, such as the access portion of the "last mile"; for chain networking, this R_BSC can be placed at The place between the chain and the backbone transmission network.

Since the remote unit can be cascaded in multiple stages, it can also connect to the base station itself. Therefore, the process of receiving the remote unit from its next-stage remote unit is called downstream traffic, and the traffic received from the base station to which it is connected. Called local traffic. The remote unit at the aggregation node directly processes the received local traffic locally, and aggregates the received downstream traffic (non-local traffic) and uploads it.

9B is a second schematic diagram of an access network using a remote unit (SDU unit) in a distributed base station controller as a transmission aggregation node according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The access network is based on FIG. 9A. , R_BSC1 (the structure of which can be as shown in FIG. 4B) is cascaded with R_BSC3 (the structure can be as shown in FIG. 4A or FIG. 4C) and R_BSC4 (the structure can be as shown in FIG. 4A or FIG. 4C), and R_BSC1 can also be directly Connected to the BTS.

When R_BSC1 performs aggregation processing on the received service data, the local traffic and the downstream traffic are processed separately. The processing procedure is as follows:

For the local traffic received by R_BSC1 from the base station below it, by the local in R_BSC1 The multi-branch merging sub-unit performs multi-branch merging processing. For the downstream traffic received from the R_BSC3 and R_BSC4 of the next stage of the R_BSC1, the user of the R_BSC3 and the R_BSC4 are governed by the downstream multi-branch merging sub-unit in the R_BSC1. Data between users is multi-branch merged. The local multi-branch merging sub-unit and the downstream multi-branch merging sub-unit send the combined data stream to the data recombining sub-unit for repackaging, and the data recombining sub-unit sends the packed data to the traffic convening sub-unit for statistical multiplexing, and then Send to the internal interconnect interface subunit. At the same time, the local exchange sub-unit of the R_BSC1 performs local exchange of the call data between the users in the local traffic, and locally exchanges the call data between the R_BSC3-managed user and the R_BSC4-managed user in the downstream traffic. The local exchange mentioned here means that the service flow of the user using the same vocoder can directly exchange the service flow in the remote unit without being sent to the core network for processing.

Since R_BSC1 can perform local exchange processing on the call service between users, the resource management sub-unit can be set internally by R_BSC1 to implement monitoring and distribution of 1_88 (1 service load. When the resource management sub-unit monitors the traffic load of R_BSC1 When the preset threshold is reached, part of the service data can be sent to C_BSC1 for processing, so as to reduce the load of R_BSC1, achieve the purpose of resource sharing, and ensure the quality of service.

The R_BSC (such as the SDU unit) with the distribution selection processing function can also be set in the transmission aggregation node of the live network to implement the multi-branch merging function and enhance the convergence capability of the transmission aggregation node. In this case, the SDU unit includes an uplink interface sub-unit, and the multi-branch merged data is uploaded to the upper-layer network entity through the transport network and the network entity in the uplink direction, the R_BSC or the C_BSC of the previous level. Process it.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the combination of the R_BSC and the transmission aggregation node deployment in the traditional radio access network enables the transmission network and the mobile communication network to exhibit a certain degree of convergence, thereby saving system resources and saving in the mobile network construction. Improve wireless network performance. The R_BSC in the embodiment of the present invention can implement a local switching function to further save part of the bandwidth and reduce network delay. The resource management function in the R_BSC can implement resource sharing to ensure service quality. The spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and the modifications of the invention
