Description

Method and device for processing signaling tracking task

Technical field

Embodiments of the present invention relate to, but are not limited to, the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for processing a signaling tracking task.

Background technique

In wireless network systems, signaling tracking is an effective means of locating faults. Through the analysis of the corresponding fields of the standard signaling, the operation and maintenance personnel can find out the causes of failures such as high call drop rate, handover failure, and abnormal traffic, and then optimize the network to improve the user experience.

Signaling tracking is divided into cell tracking and specified user tracking according to the tracking range. The specified user tracking is further divided into a group identification (GID), a Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI), and an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI). ), International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number (IMSI), etc.

Cell signaling tracking tracks the signaling generated by all access terminals in a cell. In the actual scene, the number of terminals simultaneously accessed by a cell varies from several to hundreds. Thousands of signalings may be generated in a matter of seconds. Extracting helpful information from these massive signaling is a time-consuming and laborious task.

Compared with cell signaling tracking, O&M personnel prefer the tracking function of designated users, and can track and pay attention to key processes in designated experimental terminals.

The GID is an identifier assigned by the base station when the terminal accesses, and is unique within a certain period of time of the same base station. However, in view of the base station's control policy for the inactive terminal, if the terminal is inactive for a long time (the service is not performed), the base station automatically releases the terminal, and the GID changes when the terminal accesses again. That is, the GID value may be different for different time periods of one terminal in the same base station. Therefore, tracking the specified user in accordance with the GID does not apply in the actual field.

The TMSI is an identifier assigned by the core network to the terminal when the terminal accesses the wireless network. As long as the terminal is powered off or shut down, the identity can mark the terminal in all wireless base stations managed by the core network. However, to view the TMSI allocated by the core network, it needs to be viewed from the standard signaling generated by the terminal access process. The acquisition of the TMSI of the designated terminal is likely to be inaccurate due to interference from other terminals in the cell.

The IMEI is the device number of the terminal, and the IMSI is the number of the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, which is unique worldwide. Both IMEI and IMSI are directly visible on the device or SIM. Therefore, following IMEI or IMSI is the most accurate way to track the specified user signaling flow. However, in an LTE network, the signaling generated by the Evolved Node B (eNodeB) side is not aware of the IMEI and IMSI of the terminal. Only the core network can know whether the signaling of the access belongs to the designated one. IMEI or IMSI.

Therefore, a dedicated IMSI or IMEI-based user signaling tracking module is generally provided on the core network side for use by the core network operation and maintenance personnel. If you want to track the signaling of the specified IMSI or IMEI on the wireless device side, the base station side needs to interface with the core network for the user tracking task interface, and then send the task to the base station.

However, the core network devices of the current Long Term Evolution (LTE) vendors generally do not provide an interface for delivering specified user signaling tracking tasks for security or commercial reasons. At the same time, at the actual project site, the base station equipment manufacturer generally cannot obtain the login permission of the heterogeneous core network user tracking module, and the base station side cannot view the signaling of the specified user.

In the related art, the problem that the base station side cannot view the signaling of the specified user equipment cannot be viewed because the base station side cannot view the signaling of the specified user equipment because the interface between the base station and the core network does not perform the user tracking task. Currently, there is no effective solution.

After the device identifier of the task identifier is added, the content of the first signaling is displayed after the matching identifier is added to the first signaling, and the interface between the base station side and the core network for establishing a user tracking task is not required, and the signaling can also be performed. The tracking system confirms the device identifier of the specified user equipment, and solves the problem that the base station side cannot view the signaling of the specified user equipment because the base station and the core network do not perform the user tracking task.

It should be noted that the device identifier involved in the embodiment may be identified as an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) or a Mobile Equipment International Identity (IMEI). Of course, this is merely an example of the embodiment, and other needs to be established. The device identifier of the interface of the user signaling tracking task between the vendor base station and the core network is within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present invention.

The task identifier (the core network has the correspondence between the task identifier of the specified user equipment and the device identifier), and the task identifier is matched with the locally cached tracking task. After the matching is successful, the task identifier is reported by signaling. In the signaling tracking system, since the signaling tracking system establishes a correspondence between the task identifier of the specified user equipment and the device identifier, the wireless side can know the device identifier of the specified user equipment by using the corresponding relationship, that is, The device does not need to establish an interface for the user tracking task with the base station and the core network, and can also confirm the device identifier of the specified user equipment on the wireless side (the base station and the signaling tracking system).

Tracking methods and devices. FIG. 5 is a network topology diagram of a TR-based user signaling tracking system according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the LTE network includes: a hetero-vendor core network, an eNodeB, and a user signaling tracking system.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart 1 of a TR-based user signaling tracking service according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a flow chart 2 of a TR-based user signaling tracking service according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, wherein FIG. 6 FIG. 7 and FIG. 7 are respectively a scheme A and a scheme B of an alternative embodiment, and the scheme of the optional embodiment is described below with reference to FIG. 6 (option A) and FIG. 7 (option B):

The core network sends a signaling tracking task for the specified user IMSI or IMEI. The correspondence between the Trace Reference ID (for the task identifier in the foregoing embodiment) and the IMSI/IMEI (corresponding to the device identifier in the foregoing embodiment) of the delivered IMSI/IMEI task is obtained from the core network, and is in the letter Let the tracking system interface input and establish a tracking task.

For the following task synchronization process, the schemes of Option A and Option B will be separately described to describe how to implement the specified user signaling tracking function in this alternative embodiment.

Option A:

When the UE accesses the base station, if the user terminal is set to track the core network, the base station receives the S1Trace Start standard signaling sent by the core network, where the standard signaling includes an e_Utran_Trace_ID field, that is, the tracking task reference number Trace Reference ID. The base station requests the task tracking information corresponding to the Trace Reference ID to the signaling tracking system in the optional embodiment;

When receiving the request of the base station Trace Reference ID, the signaling tracking system traverses the task cache, and searches for the task information that matches the Trace Reference ID in the base station request message, and then sends the information to the base station, where the task information includes: signaling type, tracking Depth and so on.

When the base station requests the task, the tracking task and the corresponding UE signaling data buffer area are established.

Option B:

After the signaling tracking system establishes the tracking task, it immediately synchronizes the task to all base stations of the entire network; the base station receives the task and caches the task.

After the UE accesses the base station, the base station receives the S1Trace Start standard signaling from the core network, and extracts the e_Utran_Trace_ID from the signaling; searches for the corresponding task from the task cache according to the e_Utran_Trace_ID, and finds a matching signaling tracking task. Establish a corresponding signaling buffer.

In the process after the synchronization task, Option A and Option B are the same, which will be described in detail below:

The base station adds the signaling generated by the tracking UE to the buffer area, backfills the Trace Reference ID field corresponding to the signaling in the data structure including the signaling, and then reports the signaling tracking system.

The signaling tracking system caches the signaling data reported by the base station for subsequent data matching processing.

The signaling tracking system extracts signaling data from the data cache, and traverses the current IMSI/IMEI task list to find a matching task according to the Trace Reference ID in the signaling data. If the Trace Reference ID in the signaling data matches the Trace Reference ID of the IMSI/IMEI task, the task is the signaling corresponding to the IMSI/IMEI terminal, and the IMSI/IMEI value in the task is backfilled into the signaling structure. .

The signaling tracking system displays all fields in the signaling in real time on a table interface, where the signaling fields include: time, signaling class, signaling name, IMSI/IMEI, message code stream, and the like.

The user can identify the terminal according to the IMSI/IMEI field in the signaling display interface, and click each signaling. The value of each field of the standard signaling structure can be seen from the decoding tree, and then research and analysis.

It can be seen that, in the LTE network, the radio side performs the specified user signaling tracking, and does not need to perform the user signaling tracking interface connection with the core network, and the signaling tracking system in the wireless side can refresh and display the specified user in real time (such as IMSI) signaling supports real-time display of user identification (such as IMSI) and also supports targeted filtering and viewing.

In addition, considering the same user identifier (IMSI or IMEI), the scenario where the Trace Reference ID changes may be caused by the modification of the core network side tracking task. In this alternative embodiment, a time dimension matching mechanism may also be introduced, that is, in the radio side, when the base station synchronizes to create a corresponding TR task, the base station may input the valid time period of the Trace Reference ID, and the base station in the radio side sets the time field. After the signaling tracking system receives the signaling, the signaling tracking system matches the trace reference ID and checks the signaling time to determine whether it is within the valid period of the Trace Reference ID. .

It can be seen that the base station and the signaling tracking system in the wireless side of the optional embodiment can accurately track the signaling process of the designated experimental terminal or the VIP terminal, and improve the fault location efficiency.

The present optional embodiment will be described in detail below through specific embodiments of the present exemplary embodiment;
