Description

Intelligent network service online tracking system and method

The present invention relates to the field of telecommunications, and in particular to an online tracking system and method for an intelligent network service. Background technique

The SCP (Service Control Point) is an intelligent network element that determines how calls are handled. It uses the TCAP protocol to provide transport and necessary application indications. The SCP is the core part of the intelligent network and consists of four parts: Signaling Interface Unit (SIU), Service Control Processor (CP), Service Data Processor (DB) and interconnection network between units. The SCP is connected to the SSP (signaling switch point) / IP (Intelligent Peripheral) through the SS7 network and is connected to the SMP (service management point) through the data link.

The real-time tracking module is used to track the message flow of each process of the CDMA intelligent network, the PSTN intelligent network and the GSM intelligent network in real time, monitor its running status, and perform statistical processing on the historical message records to ensure smooth debugging of the SCP. The real-time tracking module is mainly used in the SCP commissioning and opening phase, which will have a certain impact on the CP performance of the service control processor after its official operation.

The technical solutions of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to enable those skilled in the art to understand the invention. .

As shown in FIG. 1 , an online tracking system for an intelligent network service provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a real-time tracking module and a tracking filtering module, where

The real-time tracking module 10 is configured to send the tracking number customization information configured by the user to the tracking filtering module 20; the real-time tracking module 10 is further configured to parse the received target service tracking message, and display the analysis result; The tracking and filtering module 20 is respectively connected to the plurality of SCP modules included in the SCP device 30, and is configured to perform filtering processing on the intelligent network services performed by the multiple SCP modules according to the received tracking number customization information, and according to the filtered target The intelligent network service generates a target service tracking message and sends it to the real-time tracking module, where the SCP module includes: a charging module 301, a G network state machine module 302, a C network state machine module 303, and a fixed network state machine module 304. , business logic processing module 305.

For specific implementation, you need to first configure the IP address of the SCP, and make the SCP establish a socket link connection with each SCP module it contains.

The user then configures the tracking number customization information through the real-time tracking module 10. For example, the tracking number customization information includes calling number customization information or called number customization information.

After that, the tracking and filtering module 20 performs filtering processing on the intelligent network services performed by the multiple SCP modules according to the customized tracking number customization information, and generates a target service tracking message according to the filtered target intelligent network service and sends the target service tracking message to the real-time. The tracking module 10 parses the received target service tracking message and displays the analysis result.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the step of performing the filtering process on the smart network service performed by the multiple SCP modules by the tracking and filtering module 20 includes:

Obtaining the service number information of the intelligent network service currently performed by the SCP module, and matching it with the received tracking number customization information. If the matching is successful, it is determined that the intelligent network service is the target intelligent network service; if the matching fails, Then it will not be processed. For example, when the tracking number customization information is the calling number customization information, the tracking filtering module 20 performs the calling service number information of the currently performed intelligent network service obtained from the SCP module and performs the calling number customization information with the calling number. If the matching is successful, the calling number is regarded as the tracking object, so the filtering is passed, and the target intelligent network service generated by the filtering is generated and sent to the real-time tracking module 10, and the MTRACE parses the received target. Business tracking messages and the results of the analysis In the embodiment of the present invention, the message header of the target service tracking message includes: service source information, service target information, service generation time information, and message length information. For example, the format of the message header of the target traffic tracking message reported by the tracking filtering module 20 to the real-time tracking module 10 is as follows:

Typedef struct

{

UINT8 endian; 〃 whether it is greater than, 1 major order, 0 small order

UINT16 ersion; //version number

UINT16 len; 〃 message body length, 2 bytes

UINT6 boomp; 〃 compression, 0: no compression, 1 : compression

UINT32 sequenceno; II message identifier, global serial number, suitable for subcontracting, / // packet length after compression is greater than 4K

〃The compressed package is only based on the sender's pnc+sequenceno

UINT8 pkqtotal; / / total number of packets

UINT8 pkqcurrent; 〃 sub-packet serial number, counting from 1

UINT8 direction; 〃 direction, 0 reception, 1 issue, 2 internal tracking

UINT8 tap; 解 used to distinguish the same pno different data structure solution 1 byte

UINT32 time; 〃 message recording time

PID masfrom; 〃Source

PID msqtc; 〃 message target

UIN16 event; //Event number

UINT8 opertype; 〃 opcode

UINT8 reserved[15]; //Reserved 15 bytes, temporarily padded 0

}E TRACE DATA HEAD; The message header of the target service tracking message includes the source of the message and the message target and the event number. The direction of the message is determined according to the source of the message and the target of the message. The message target is the real message target, instead of the real-time tracking module 10, the real-time tracking provided by this article. Module 10 is only used for interface display. The real-time tracking module 10 determines two message network elements according to the source of the message and the message destination, and then draws the direction of the message according to the event number, and the content of the message body corresponding to the event number. At the same time, the message header also records the generation time of the message and the length of the message body. The real-time tracking module 10 is used to parse the message and display it through the binary stream through the interface. The developer can interpret the content of the message body according to the content displayed by the real-time tracking module 10 interface.

In the actual application process, because the message length of the target service tracking message reported to the real-time tracking module 10 is too long, the online tracking performance may be degraded. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the target service tracking message may be packetized and Processed in a compressed manner to improve processing performance. The tracking filtering module 20 is responsible for compressing and subcontracting the long target traffic tracking message, and marking the compression and packetization conditions in the message header of the target traffic tracking message. The real-time tracking module 10 performs grouping according to the compression flag and the sub-packet number in the message header of the target service tracking message. The method of unpacking and grouping has many open source codes, and the implementation method will not be described herein.

In addition, the direction of the message is also marked in the header of the target service tracking message: receiving, sending, and internal tracking, and the real-time tracking module 10 determines the direction of the message according to the direction of the message, and determines the layering of the message to determine that it belongs to Message interaction between SCP modules is still part of the message processing within the SCP module.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the real-time tracking module 10 divides the tracking of the intelligent network service into three levels: the first level is the tracked SCP device layer (the network element view layer); the second level is the SCP module-to-module message interaction. Layer; The third layer is the internal processing layer of the SCP module. By clicking on the real-time tracking module 10 different network elements or SCP modules, you can see the next layer of the NE or SCP module's evaluation message.

For example, as shown in Figure 2, in this figure, it describes the second level: for the SCP module The message interaction layer, the object is the billing module 301, the business logic processing module 305SLP, the fixed network state machine module 304, and the C network state machine module 303. The flow direction of the service message is indicated by arrows between the SCP modules, and the arrow indicates The event number of the service message. In the actual application process, double-click the arrow to display the binary stream information of the service message. Through this layer, the message interaction between the SCP modules can be clearly seen. In the actual application process, the arrow lines of the service message in the figure generally have two copies. If only one arrow line is displayed, it means that the receiver of the service message does not receive the message, so the modules can be tracked. The interface shows the convenience of locating the actual problem. At the same time, it is convenient for the business developer or maintenance personnel to view the content of the interactive message, instead of the traditional cumbersome packet capture tool, to separately capture the message, and the business developer or maintenance personnel can directly track each module. Click on the interface to view business messages.
