Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

First, some terms and related technologies involved in the present application will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.

A Radio Access Network (RAN) is a part of a mobile communication system. It implements a wireless access technology. According to the standard, mobile phones and other wirelessly connected devices are collectively referred to as User Equipment (UE), which is connected to the Core Network (CN) via the RAN. The well-known base station belongs to RAN. A base station usually includes BBU (mainly responsible for signal modulation), RRU (mainly responsible for radio frequency processing), feeder (connecting RRU and antenna), and antenna (mainly responsible for guiding traveling waves on the cable and in the air). conversion between space waves). However, in the 5G network, the access network is no longer composed of BBU, RRU, and antenna, but is reconstructed into a centralized unit (Centralized Unit, CU), a distributed unit (Distribute Unit, DU) and an active antenna unit ( Active Antenna Unit, AAU) these three functional entities.

Network Management System (NMS) is an operation and maintenance center, which is responsible for equipment fault diagnosis and operation and maintenance of wireless access system, network operation and network management, and provides data and statistics for network management and planning. The management objects of NMS can include all entities in the network, such as: network equipment, applications, server systems, routers, switches, HUB, auxiliary equipment (such as UPS power supply), etc., to provide network system administrators with a system-wide network view . With the rapid development of telecommunications technology, the size of the telecommunications market has been further expanded, the equipment operating in the network has become more and more complex, and a large number of newly introduced services will bring more workload, thereby increasing the The operator's network management and maintenance costs. The NMS provides operators with a way to manage the networks of different regions and different equipment suppliers. The network administrator can comprehensively monitor the running status of the network through the NMS, which can better manage and maintain the network. The availability and reliability of the network can be improved through NMS, thereby improving the efficiency of network operation as a whole and reducing management costs.

A network element management system (Element Management System, EMS) is a system that manages one or more telecommunication network elements (Network Element, NE) of a specific type. In general, the EMS manages the functionality and capacity of each NE, but ignores the communication between different NEs in the network. In order to support the communication between NEs, the EMS needs to communicate with a higher-level network management system (NMS), which is also a member of the telecommunication management network (TMN) hierarchical model. EMS is the foundation of an Operations Support System (OSS) architecture based on the TMN hierarchical model, which enables Service Providers (SPs) to meet customer demands for rapidly evolving services while also meeting stringent Quality of Service (QOS) requirements .

EMS provides unified operation and maintenance functions in the field of professional networks, focusing on network element management within regions, networks, and sub-networks, and can manage and maintain equipment and networks end-to-end. For example, an EMS can be used to centrally manage an operator's IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network and equipment, including: core network equipment, data communication equipment, Next Generation Network (NGN) equipment, services Equipment, third-party information technology (Information Technology, IT) equipment.

In order to obtain relevant information of network performance and facilitate subsequent network optimization and equipment adjustment, the operator network management system (Operator NMS) can issue measurement tasks to the RNA device gNB through EMS, and the measurement tasks include but are not limited to PM (Performance Management) , performance management) Job tasks. As shown in Figure 1, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the Operator NMS sending a PM Job creation request to the EMS. There are different cells within the range covered by the RAN equipment managed by the EMS, and different cells covered by each RAN equipment use For different carrier frequencies, Operator NMS can use one or more of the above-mentioned cells as the object to measure performance indicators, that is, the measurement object can be one cell or multiple cells corresponding to a specific carrier frequency, and Operator NMS can also measure the performance indicators of the object. Some parameter metrics create a PM Job task in order to collect performance data.

At present, in order to reduce the cost and difficulty of deploying private wireless networks in vertical industries, the wireless network RAN equipment already deployed by operators can be used to build their own wireless networks in vertical industries. In addition, operators and vertical industries have independently deployed operation and maintenance systems, which enable vertical industries to independently operate and maintain wireless networks and ensure the privacy of vertical industry operation and maintenance data.

As shown in Figure 2, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of vertical industries and operators sharing RAN equipment, including Operator NMS, vertical industry network management system (Vertical Industry NMS), EMS, 5G Core Network Control Plane (5G Core Network Control Plane, 5GC CP), User plane Function (UPF) network element, 5G base station (gNB), some reference points (N2, N3, N4, etc.) and Xn interface. Operator NMS and Vertical Industry NMS communicate directly with EMS. EMS manages various network elements, such as gNB, UPF, etc. Each network element is connected through reference points (such as N2, N3, N4, etc.), and gNBs are connected through Xn Interface connection, among them, Operator NMS is responsible for a wider range of network management. For example, Operator NMS can be responsible for managing the network of an entire city or an entire province. It is understandable that Operator NMS can be deployed in the central computer room of a city; Vertical Industry NMS is generally responsible for vertical industries. Network management is generally deployed in vertical industry parks; EMS can include one or more servers. It is understood that EMS can manage a single base station or multiple base stations. When EMS manages a single base station, EMS can be deployed in the base station (can be placed in a cabinet); and when the EMS manages multiple base stations, the EMS is not deployed in the base station. Generally, the NMS sends an instruction to the EMS, and after receiving the instruction, the EMS converts it into an instruction for a specific device, and the specific device may be a network element. In Figure 2, Operator NMS and Vertical Industry NMS share a gNB. Operator NMS and Vertical Industry NMS send commands to EMS. After receiving commands, EMS converts them into commands to gNB and sends them to gNB.

In the above scenario where vertical industries and operators share RAN equipment, the operator network and vertical industry network use different carrier frequencies, and different carrier frequencies correspond to different cell objects, that is, vertical industries and operators share based on the carrier frequency mode For the RAN device gNB, the carrier frequency mode refers to that the objects of the measurement performance indicators selected by the Operator NMS and the Vertical Industry NMS are different cells using different carrier frequencies. As shown in Figure 3, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a vertical industry and an operator sharing a RAN device gNB based on the carrier frequency mode to create a PM Job. The Operator NMS sends PM Job A through EMS, and Vertical Industry NMS sends PM Job B through EMS. PM Job A targets cell A, cell A uses carrier A, PM Job B targets cell B, and cell B uses carrier B, so there will be no conflict.

In another scenario in which the above-mentioned vertical industry and operator share RAN equipment, the operator network and the vertical industry network use the same carrier frequency, and the same carrier frequency corresponds to the same cell object, that is, the vertical industry and the operator share based on the common carrier frequency mode For the RAN device gNB, the common carrier frequency mode means that the object of the measurement performance index selected by the Operator NMS and the Vertical Industry NMS is the same cell using the same carrier frequency. As shown in Figure 4, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a vertical industry and an operator sharing a RAN device gNB based on a common carrier frequency mode to create a PM Job request. At this time, the Operator NMS and the Vertical Industry NMS deliver to the same EMS the same object (cell C) The request to create a PM Job, if the performance indicators measured by the request overlap, there will be a conflict. Because when the EMS receives a request to create a PM Job, the EMS will detect whether a corresponding PM Job already exists (the measurement object of the PM Job is the same as the measurement object in the request, and the measured performance indicators coincide). If the PM Job exists, the request to create the PM Job will be rejected. In addition, if Operator NMS and Vertical Industry NMS create a PM job request for the same performance index of the same cell object, the request that arrives at the EMS first will be accepted, and the request that arrives at the EMS later will be rejected by the EMS. In the above scenario, the network management system that needs to measure the performance index may not be able to successfully execute the operation of issuing the PM Job request, which means that the network management system cannot measure the performance index that needs to be measured.

It can be understood that the above-mentioned overlap of performance indicators requested for measurement may be partial overlap or complete overlap, that is, the above-mentioned overlap of performance indicators requested to measure means that at least one of the performance indicators requested to be measured is the same.

In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a method for issuing measurement tasks for shared wireless access network equipment. In a possible embodiment, the method for issuing measurement tasks for shared wireless access network equipment can be applied to the 5 is in a measurement task distribution system architecture of a shared wireless access network device. In order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present application, a system architecture for issuing a measurement task of a shared wireless access network device shown in FIG. 5 is first described.

As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a system architecture of a method for issuing a measurement task of a shared wireless access network device provided by an embodiment of the present application, including Operator NMS, Vertical Industry NMS, EMS, 5GC CP, UPF network element, gNB , some reference points (N2, N3, N4, etc.) and the Xn interface. Among them, Operator NMS is responsible for a wider range of network management. For example, Operator NMS can be responsible for managing the network of an entire city or an entire province. It is understandable that Operator NMS can be deployed in the central computer room of a city; Vertical Industry NMS is generally responsible for network management of vertical industries. Generally deployed in the park of vertical industries; EMS can include one or more servers. It is understood that EMS can manage a single base station or multiple base stations. When the EMS manages a single base station, the EMS can be deployed in the base station (which can be placed in the cabinet); and when the EMS manages multiple base stations, the EMS is not deployed in the base station. Generally, the NMS sends an instruction to the EMS, and after receiving the instruction, the EMS converts it into an instruction for a specific device, and the specific device may be a network element. In Figure 5, Operator NMS and Vertical Industry NMS share a gNB, and there is a negotiation interface between them. Operator NMS and Vertical Industry NMS can send commands to EMS after negotiation, and EMS receives commands and converts them into commands to gNB. , and send it to gNB.

The method for issuing measurement tasks for shared wireless access network equipment provided by the present application establishes a negotiation interface between the operator's network management system and the vertical industry network management system, so that before the PM Job task is issued, the operator's network management system and The vertical industry network management system can compare the performance indicators that need to be measured. If the performance indicators to be measured overlap, negotiate to create a measurement task. This method avoids the possibility of issuing measurement tasks when the RAN equipment is shared in the common carrier frequency mode. conflict that occurred. It can be understood that the measurement tasks include but are not limited to PM Jobs.

Referring specifically to the flowchart of a method for issuing a measurement task of a shared wireless access network device shown in FIG. 6 , the method for issuing a measurement task of a shared wireless access network device provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described below. As shown in Figure 6, the method may include the following steps:

S610: The first network device sends negotiation request information.

Specifically, the first network device sends negotiation request information to the second network device through a negotiation interface, where the negotiation interface is used to establish communication when the first network device and the second network device create a measurement task for the same measurement object connect. As shown in Figure 7, Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of adding a negotiation interface between a vertical industry and an operator to issue a PM Job task. The Operator NMS and the Vertical Industry NMS need to pass the same EMS to the performance indicators of cell C (carrier frequency C) Perform measurement, that is, in the co-carrier frequency mode at this time, the Operator NMS and the Vertical Industry NMS negotiate through the negotiation interface, and then perform the subsequent operation of creating a measurement task (PM Job C in Figure 7).

It can be understood that the measurement object is the object targeted by the measurement task, and the measurement task is a performance indicator measurement task. In an embodiment of the present application, the measurement object may be a cell, and the measurement task may be PM Job (PM Job task).

It should be noted that the parameters related to the PM Job task are shown in Table 1 below:

Table 1

It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present application, the negotiation request information is a coordinatePMJobCreation Request, and the input parameters of the coordinatePMJobCreation Request include iOCName, iOCInstanceList, and measurementCategoryList. As shown in Table 1, iOCName represents the category name of the measured Network Resource Management (NRM) object. It can be understood that an NRM object may include one or more Management Objects (MO); iOCInstanceList represents MO Instance management object ID list, it is understood that MO may include one or more management object instances (Management Object Instance, MOI), and one MOI instance object may correspond to one cell; measurementCategoryList is a list of performance indicators that need to be measured. Indicators include but are not limited to rate, throughput, bandwidth, latency, bandwidth-delay product, round-trip time, and utilization.

It can be understood that iOCName and iOCInstanceList represent the measurement objects of the PM Job task, which can be used to represent different cell objects; measurementCategoryList represents the performance index parameters that need to be measured, that is, in the above embodiment, the measurementCategoryList includes the first network device. Measurement parameters, the measurement parameters refer to performance indicators.

S620: The second network device sends negotiation reply information.

Specifically, the second network device receives the negotiation request information sent by the first network device, and analyzes the measurement objects and performance indicators in the negotiation request information, and the second network device sends a negotiation reply to the first network device according to the analysis result. information.

It can be understood that, in an embodiment of the present application, the negotiation response information is coordinatePMJobCreation Response.

It should be noted that, when the second network device analyzes and obtains that: the measurement object in the negotiation request information sent by the first network device is consistent with the measurement object of the second network device, and the performance index in the negotiation request information is consistent with the second network device. When the performance indicators to be measured by the network device overlap, the negotiation reply information sent by the second network device includes the parameter coordinateOption, and the parameter coordinateOption is set to fully-coordinate, indicating that the performance measurement requirements of the first network device and the second network device are the same . In addition, the negotiation reply information sent by the second network device may also include parameters for creating a PM Job by the second network device. The parameters for creating a PM Job by the second network device include iOCName, iOCInstanceList, measurementCategoryList, granularityPeriod, reportingPeriod, etc. Each parameter Its specific content is shown in Table 1.

Optionally, the parameters for creating a PM Job by the second network device may be included in deliverPMjobInfo Request and sent to the first network device. At this time, the negotiation reply information sent by the second network device includes the parameters set to fully-coordinate coordinateOption, but does not include the parameters for the second network device to create the PM Job. In this case, the second network device can send the deliverPMjobInfo request and negotiation response information to the first network device separately, or can be combined and sent to the first network device.

It is understandable that the above-mentioned overlap of the performance indicators to be measured may be partial overlap or complete overlap, which means that at least one of the performance indicators to be measured by the first network device and the second network device is the same.

It should also be noted that, when the second network device analyzes and finds that the measurement object in the negotiation request information is consistent with the measurement object of the second network device, but the performance index in the negotiation request information and the second network device need to be measured. When the performance indicators are different, the negotiation reply information sent by the second network device includes the parameter coordinateOption, and the parameter coordinateOption is set to not-coordinate, indicating that the performance measurement requirements of the first network device and the second network device are different; when the second network device has different performance measurement requirements; When the network device analyzes and finds that the measurement object in the negotiation request information is inconsistent with the measurement object of the second network device, the negotiation reply information sent by the second network device includes the parameter coordinateOption, and the parameter coordinateOption is set to not-coordinate, Indicates that the measurement objects of the first network device and the second network device are different.

It can be understood that the above-mentioned difference in the performance indicators to be measured means that the performance indicators to be measured by the first network device and the second network device are completely different, that is, neither of the performance indicators to be measured is the same.

S630: The first network device fuses the measurement parameters required by the first network device with the measurement parameters required by the second network device.

Specifically, the first network device receives the negotiation reply information sent by the second network device. As described above, when the second network device analyzes and obtains that the measurement object in the negotiation request information is consistent with the measurement object of the second network device , and when the performance index in the negotiation request information coincides with the performance index that needs to be measured by the second network device, it means that the performance measurement requirements of the first network device and the second network device are the same, and the second network device will also create a measurement The parameters of the task are sent to the first network device, and after receiving the parameters of the measurement task created by the second network device sent by the second network device, the first network device fuses the parameters with the parameters of the measurement task created by itself.

It should be noted that when the measurement task is PM Job, the fusion includes but is not limited to the following:

1. Collection of performance indicators.

Specifically, a set of performance indicators that need to be measured by the first network device and performance indicators that need to be measured by the second network device is collected to prepare for subsequent creation of a measurement task.

Exemplarily, when the performance indicators to be measured by the first network device are rate, throughput and delay, and the performance indicators to be measured by the second network device are bandwidth and delay, a collection of performance indicators to be measured is obtained, Therefore, the performance indicators that need to be measured after fusion are rate, throughput, delay and bandwidth.

2. When there is a deviation between the measurement frequency and the reported frequency, take the least common divisor.

Specifically, when the measurement frequency and the reporting frequency are different, the least common divisor is taken. In addition, when the measurement frequency of the first network device and the measurement frequency of the second network device are different, or the reporting frequencies of the two are different At the same time, or when the measurement frequency and reporting frequency of the two are different, the least common divisor is taken for the measurement frequency and reporting frequency of the first network device and the measurement frequency and reporting frequency of the second network device.

Exemplarily, if the measurement frequency of the first network device is 3s, the reporting frequency is 6s, and the second network device's measurement frequency is 2s, and the reporting frequency is 6s, and the least common divisor is 6s, That is, both the measurement frequency and the reporting frequency after fusion take 6s.

3. Set the task start time and task end time.

Specifically, the task start time of the first network device and the second network device is a set, and the task end time of the two is also a set.

Exemplarily, if the task start time of the first network device is 9:00, the task end time is 9:15, the task start time of the second network device is 10:10, and the task end time is 10:15, then after fusion The task start time is 9:00, and the task end time is 10:15, that is, among the task start time and task end time that need to be merged, take the earliest task start time as the merged task start time, and take the latest task The end time is taken as the end time of the task after fusion.

It can be understood that, in addition to the fusion of the parameters mentioned above, the fusion of other parameters needs to meet the requirements of the first network device and the second network device to create a PM Job at the same time. In addition, the above-mentioned fusion method is only one of the embodiments of the present application. The possible implementations are not considered to be a limitation of this application.

S640: The first network device sends a measurement task creation request.

Specifically, after the first network device fuses the received parameters for creating a PM Job sent by the second network device with the parameters for creating a PM Job by itself, it sends a measurement task creation request to the third network device, requesting the third network device Create a measurement task.

Specifically, the first network device sends a CreatePMjob Request to a third network device, requesting to create a PM Job, and the CreatePMjob Request The input parameters include iOCName, iOCInstanceList, measurementCategoryList, granularityPeriod, and reportingPeriod, etc. Table 1 shows the parameters and their specific contents. It can be understood that the input parameters of the CreatePMjob Request are parameters required for creating a PM Job.

S650: The third network device sends measurement task reply information.

Specifically, after receiving the measurement task creation request sent by the first network device, the third network device creates a measurement task, and sends measurement task reply information to the first network device.

It should be noted that the measurement task reply information may include a task identifier, where the task identifier is used to represent the measurement task created by the third network device.

It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present application, the measurement task reply information is CreatePMjob Response, the input parameters of the CreatePMjob Response include pmJobId, and the pmJobId is a task identifier used to identify a third network device Created PM Job.

It should be noted that, the first network device in the above steps S610-S650 may be the Operator NMS, in this case, the second network device is the Vertical Industry NMS, and the third network device is the EMS; the first network device in the above steps S610-S650 The device may also be Vertical Industry NMS, in this case, the second network device is Operator NMS, and the third network device is EMS.
