detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , it is a schematic diagram of a multi-mode base station according to an embodiment of the present invention. The multi-mode base station includes a first mode portion and a second system portion, wherein the first mode portion supports the first mobile communication system. The second mode portion supports the second mobile communication system, the multimode base station configures the first transmission link for the first system portion, the second transmission link for the second system portion, and the first transmission link is enabled.

After the hardware and connection deployment of the multimode base station shown in FIG. 1 is completed, the first mode part of the multimode base station shown in FIG. 1 supports the GSM standard, and E1 is configured as the first transmission link, and the multimode base station has been configured. Open the GSM system. E1 is the abbreviation of 30-channel Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) in Europe. The rate is 2.048 Mbit/s (megabits per second), that is, one E1 is a 2.048 M (Mbit, Megabit). Link, encoded with PCM. The second system supports the UMTS system, which is configured with ETH (Ethernet) as the second transmission link, and the multi-mode base station does not open the UMTS system.

The first system part is connected to the transmission network through the ETH through the E1 and the second system part, and the other side of the transmission network is connected to the remote terminal, and the remote terminal can provide an operation platform for the wireless personnel, so that the wireless personnel can pass through the remote terminal. The first transmission link E1 operates the second system portion (shown by a broken line in the figure) without remote operation of the wireless system to implement remote control of the second system portion. The lower station operation refers to the location of the base station, and the base station is performed at the near end of the base station. operating.

For the multi-mode base station shown in FIG. 1 , a flowchart of a method for using a transmission link according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 2 , and may include the following steps:

Step 201: Configure a maintenance channel, where the maintenance channel is a channel for transmitting a message between the first system part and the second system part.

It can be understood that when the remote terminal remotely controls the second system part through the first transmission link, the first mode part needs to be connected to the second system part, so that the first system part is connected to the remote terminal part. The received control command can be transmitted to the second system part, so before the remote control, it is necessary to configure a channel for transmitting a message, that is, a maintenance channel, between the first system part and the second system part.

Further, when the remote terminal performs remote control on the plurality of second system parts, the one-to-one relationship between the first system part and the second system part located in the same multimode base station may be first configured by the wireless personnel on the remote terminal, and then And transmitting, by the first transmission link, the information of the second system part, so that the first system part acquires a control command for controlling the second system part corresponding thereto from the remote terminal. Of course, the first transmission link used by each of the first system parts can also be recorded on the remote terminal, and the control command for controlling the second system part is directly used according to the one-to-one relationship between the first system part and the second system part. Uploaded to the first transmission link of its corresponding first system part.

Step 202: Acquire a control command for controlling the second system part by using the first transmission link. The control command is a command sent on the remote terminal and used to control the second system part.

It should be noted that the remote terminal needs to activate the MML (Manual Machine Line) client for controlling the second system part on the remote terminal as the operating platform for providing the wireless personnel with the second control part of the remote control. The MML client is a client that performs MML operations, and is configured to remotely control the second system portion and receive various types of log files uploaded by the second system, including system operation log files and fault alarm logs. At least one of a file and a startup log file.

The system operation log file is used to record the normal operation information of the second system part, and the fault alarm log file is used to record the fault information of the second system part, such as running fault information, and start the log. The file is used to record events that occur during the startup of the second system.

The process of starting the MML client of the second standard part on the remote terminal may be: first triggering the MML client startup command of the second system part on the remote terminal, the startup command is used to instruct the MML client to be started to trigger the query. The version query command of the version information of the second system part is followed by the version query command to the second system part through the first transmission link and the maintenance channel to query the version information of the second system part. When the version information of the second system part is queried, the version corresponding to the version information is started on the MML client, and the MML client starts successfully. If the version information on the MML client does not correspond to the version information of the second system part or the version information of the second system part is not queried, the MML client fails to start.

Further, after the MML client is successfully started, the wireless personnel can directly operate on the MML client, and the MML client sends various control commands for controlling the second system to the first transmission link and the maintenance channel.

Step 203: Send a control command to the second system part through the maintenance channel, so as to control the second system part according to the control command.

Applying the above technical solution, the control command for controlling the second system part may be sequentially transmitted through the first transmission link and the maintenance channel of the first system part to control the second system part, and realize the remote control of the second system part, so that When the wireless personnel perform link detection and the second system part starts, the link detection and the second part of the station opening can be completed remotely without the need of the down station operation.

A method for using a transmission link provided by an embodiment of the present invention is described below by taking a control command, including a configuration command, or a control command, including a fault detection command.

Referring to FIG. 3, another flowchart of a method for using a transmission link provided by an embodiment of the present invention, where the control command includes a configuration command, may include the following steps:

Step 301: Configure a maintenance channel, where the maintenance channel is a channel for transmitting a message between the first system part and the second system part.

Step 302: Acquire a configuration command for controlling the second system part by using the first transmission link. The configuration command is used to instruct the second system part to open the configuration function to indicate that the second system part is turned on so that the second mobile communication system is turned on.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the maintenance channel configuration process and the configuration command sending process are referred to step 201 and step 202 in the method embodiment shown in FIG. 2, which is not described in the embodiment of the present invention.

Step 303: Send a configuration command to the second system part through the maintenance channel. After the second system receives the configuration command, the configuration function is enabled.

Step 304: Receive a configuration information download instruction sent by the second system part through the maintenance channel. In the embodiment of the present invention, the configuration information downloading instruction is an instruction to download the second mode part to enable the multi-mode base station to open configuration information required by the second mobile communication system, and the configuration information may include software version information of the second system part. A software application running on the second system.

Step 305: Download configuration information by using the first transmission link.

Step 306: Send the configuration information to the second system part through the maintenance channel, so that after the second system part completes the configuration according to the configuration information, the multi-mode base station is instructed to restart to open the second mobile communication system and the second transmission link.

It can be seen from the foregoing technical solution that when the second mobile communication system and the second transmission link are opened, the multi-mode base station can directly send the configuration information to the second system part through the first transmission link and the maintenance channel, so that the second mode The system partially completes the configuration and instructs the multi-mode base station to restart to open the second mobile communication system and the second transmission link, thereby implementing remote opening of the new mobile communication system supported by the multi-mode base station, and reducing the dependence of the open station on the transmission network.

After the second system is turned on, that is, after the second mobile communication system is turned on, the second system transmits the heartbeat detection message to the remote terminal through the second transmission link to notify the remote terminal of the state of the second transmission link. If the remote terminal does not receive the heartbeat detection packet during the heartbeat period, the second transmission link is faulty. At this time, the remote terminal can obtain the operation fault information of the second system part through the first transmission link and the maintenance channel to determine the fault. the reason.

It should be noted here that the remote fault detection through the first transmission link and the maintenance channel may be to open the second mobile communication system under the wireless personnel station, or may be remotely opened through the first transmission link and the maintenance channel. In the case of the second mobile communication indication, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Referring to FIG. 4, it is still another flowchart of a method for using a transmission link according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the control command includes a fault detection command, which may include the following steps:

Step 401: Configure a maintenance channel, where the maintenance channel is a channel for transmitting a message between the first system part and the second system part.

Step 402: Acquire a fault detection command for controlling the second system part by using the first transmission link. The fault detection command is used to instruct the second system part to upload its own operation fault information in the second mobile communication system.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the maintenance channel configuration process and the fault detection command transmission process are referred to step 201 and step 202 in the method embodiment shown in FIG. 2, which will not be described in the embodiment of the present invention.

Step 403: Send a fault detection command to the second system part through the maintenance channel.

Step 404: Receive operation fault information sent by the second system part through the maintenance channel.

Step 405: Send operation failure information according to an IP (Internet Protocol) protocol, wherein the IP address is a second system part and an address of the corresponding remote terminal, and the remote terminal is used for at least fault management.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the first system part and the second mode part in the network in the multimode base station according to the embodiment of the present invention, where RAT1 is the first system part, and RAT2 is the second system part. Router1 is a forwarding device, such as a router, connected to the first transmission link through the first transmission link, and is used for forwarding information between the first transmission link and the remote terminal 1, and Router2 is the second transmission part through the second transmission link. A connected forwarding device, such as a router, is used for information forwarding between the second transmission link and the remote terminal 1.

When the remote terminal 1 performs fault detection on the second system part through the first transmission link (the cross number in FIG. 5 indicates the second transmission link failure), it is necessary to first configure the IP address of the second system part for the first system part and The IP address of the remote terminal, so that when the first system part forwards the information exchanged between the second system part and the remote terminal, the sending address and the receiving address of the information can be known, and the accuracy of the information transmission is ensured. When the second transmission link fails, information exchanged between the second system portion and the remote terminal, such as the fault detection command and the operation failure information, may be transmitted from the second system portion to the remote terminal 1 by the dotted line shown in FIG. 5, that is, Through the maintenance channel, the first transmission The link and the forwarding device connected to the first transmission link are sent to the remote terminal 1. The IP address of the second part of the system and the IP address of the remote terminal can be obtained by sending a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) through the first transmission link.

It can be seen from the above technical solution that when a multi-mode base station fails to start a station, it can remotely reload the configuration through the transmission link of the normal system part and the maintenance channel of the normal system part and the abnormal system part, and upload the multi-mode base station log to perform the failure. Positioning to avoid the near-end operation of the second lower station when the station is faulty. In the routine maintenance of a multimode base station, if the transmission link of a certain part of the system fails, the transmission link of the corresponding normal system part and the maintenance channel between the two can be used for remote fault location to avoid secondary failure. Station near-end operation. Of course, when the transmission is modified, the transmission link detection can be completed at the far end to avoid the failure of the station due to the transmission network problem, and the service interruption time is too long. The normal system part is the normal part of the transmission link, and the abnormal part is the part of the system whose transmission link is abnormal.

In all the foregoing method embodiments, in the method for using the transmission link provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the configuration process of the maintenance channel may be as shown in FIG. 6, and may include the following steps:

Step 601: Receive a binary message through the first transmission link, and encapsulate the binary message into an inter-board MM (Machine to Machine) message, to instruct the second system part to send configuration information of the second system part, where the binary The message carries the MML message of the second system part, and the MML message is used to indicate the maintenance channel between the first system part configuration and the second system part.

One format of MML messages and binary messages (BIN messages) is shown in Figure 7. It can be seen from Figure 7 that the binary message sends the MML message as part of itself. The message transmission between the remote terminal, the first system portion, and the second system portion can participate in FIGS. 8 and 9.

In FIG. 8, the first system part (RAT1) encapsulates the binary message into an inter-board MM message transmission to the second system part (RAT2), and GW (Gate Way, Gateway) 1 and GW2 are gateways of the respective system parts. See Figure 9 for how the message is transmitted at each layer.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the remote terminal may send a maintenance channel open command through the MML interface to indicate that the maintenance channel is configured between the first system part and the second system part.

Step 602: connecting the channel by using a slot between the first system part and the second system part, Sending the configuration information of the first system part to the second system part.

The slot connection channel is an inter-board connection channel between the main control transmission board included in the first system part and the second system part, that is, a channel on the hardware, through which the configuration information of the first system part can be sent to the Two-standard part.

The configuration information of the first system portion may include a software application, version information, etc., so that the second system portion performs matching to determine whether the maintenance channel can be configured.

Step 603: Receive configuration information of the second system part sent through the slot connection channel.

The configuration information of the second system part may also include a software application and version information, etc., so that the first part of the system performs matching to determine whether the two can configure the maintenance channel.

Step 604: When the configuration information of the first system part and the configuration information of the second system part match, the maintenance channel configuration is successful.

If the maintenance channel configuration is successful, the first system sends the configuration success information to the remote terminal through the first transmission link; if the maintenance channel configuration fails, the first system sends the configuration failure information to the remote terminal through the first transmission link. So that the remote terminal can display the configuration status in time, so that the wireless personnel can confirm whether the control mode of the second system is remote control or near-end control.

It should be noted here that the premise that the first system part and the second system part of the multimode base station can be configured with the maintenance channel is that the first system part is normal and the second system part is abnormal, and the second system part cannot be GSM non-independent part and non-effective part of the system. The normal part of the first system means that the first transmission link is normal, and the abnormal part of the second mode means that the second transmission link is abnormal. The GSM non-independent part refers to the part of the system that the remote terminal cannot directly control, but is controlled by the remote terminal through the controller corresponding to the multi-mode base station. The non-effective system part refers to the part of the system that does not work normally. Taking FIG. 10 to FIG. 12 as an example, in which the first system part G in FIG. 9 is normal, and the second system part L is not normal, the second system part L needs to be configured with the first system part G to maintain the control channel to realize remote control. The solid arrow in the solid line indicates that the maintenance channel needs to be configured. The solid double arrow in Fig. 10 indicates that the maintenance channel configuration of the first system portion and the second system portion is successful, and the corresponding Fig. 12 indicates that the MML operation is transmitted through the maintenance channel.

Corresponding to the foregoing method embodiments, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a multi-mode base station. Referring to FIG. 1 , the multi-mode base station includes at least a first system part and a second system part, where the first mode part includes Supporting a first main control transmission board of the first mobile communication system, and the first main control transmission board transmits and receives data through the first transmission link, and the second mode portion includes a second main control transmission board supporting the second mobile communication system, and The second main control transmission board transmits and receives data through the second transmission link (the first main control transmission board and the second main control transmission class are not shown in FIG. 1), wherein

The first master transport board and the second master transport board cooperate to configure a maintenance channel, wherein the maintenance channel is a channel for transmitting messages between the first system part and the second system part.

The first main control transmission board is further configured to acquire a control command for controlling the second system part by using the first transmission link, and send the control command to the second main control transmission board of the second system part through the maintenance channel, so that Control the second system part according to the control command.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first main control transmission board sends a control command for controlling the second system part through the first transmission link and the maintenance channel to implement remote control of the second system part, so that the wireless personnel are performing the chain. When the road detection and the second system part are opened, the link detection and the second part of the station opening can be completed remotely without the need of the lower station operation.

The control command may include a configuration command, where the configuration command is used to instruct the second system to enable the configuration function. Correspondingly, the first main control transmission board is configured to deliver configuration commands through the first transmission link and the maintenance channel in sequence.

The second main control transmission board is configured to send a configuration information download instruction through the maintenance channel after receiving the configuration command, and upload the configuration information download instruction by using the first transmission link.

The first main control transmission board is further configured to download the configuration information by using the first transmission link, and send the configuration information to the second main control transmission board through the maintenance channel, so that the second standard part is instructed after completing the configuration according to the configuration information. The multi-mode base station is restarted to enable the second mobile communication system and the second transmission link to remotely activate the second mobile communication system and the second transmission link.

It can be seen from the above technical solution that when the second mobile communication system and the second transmission link are opened, the multi-mode base station can directly send the configuration information to the second main part of the second standard part through the first transmission link and the maintenance channel. Controlling the transmission board, causing the second mode part to complete the configuration and instructing the multi-mode base station to restart to open the second mobile communication system and the second transmission link, thereby implementing the multi-mode base station The remote opening of the new mobile communication system reduces the dependence of the open station on the transmission network.

After the second mode is opened, that is, after the second mobile communication system is turned on, the second main control transmission board sends a heartbeat detection message to the remote terminal through the second transmission link to notify the remote terminal of the state of the second transmission link. If the remote terminal does not receive the heartbeat detection packet during the heartbeat period, the second transmission link is faulty. At this time, the remote terminal can obtain the operation fault information of the second system part through the first transmission link and the maintenance channel to determine the fault. the reason.

Correspondingly, in the case that the second system part is turned on and the second transmission link is faulty, the control command includes a fault detection command, and the fault detection command is used to indicate that the second system part uploads its own operation fault in the second mobile communication system. information.

At this time, the second master control board is also used for running fault information sent through the maintenance channel.

The first main control transmission board is further configured to upload operation fault information according to the IP address, wherein the IP address is an address of the second main control transmission board and an address of the remote terminal corresponding to the second system part, and the remote terminal is used for at least a fault. management.

When the remote terminal 1 performs fault detection on the second system part through the first transmission link (the cross number in FIG. 5 indicates the second transmission link failure), it is necessary to first configure the first main control transmission board of the first system part. The IP address of the two-standard part and the IP address of the remote terminal, so that the first master transport board can obtain the information when forwarding the information exchanged between the second system part and the remote terminal.
