The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a system for configuring a network device. Background of the invention

In GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), the BSS (Base Station Sub-system) includes a BSC (Base Station Controller) and several BTSs connected to the BSC (Base Transceiver). Station, base transceiver station). Among them, the BSC serves as the control center of the BTS, and mainly functions as radio resource management, call signaling connection, CS (Circuit Switching) call processing, base station management, power control, handover control, operation and maintenance, etc. Data transmission, network optimization and other aspects play an important role.

Currently, different BSC equipment vendors provide different configuration maintenance tools for BSC data configuration, for example, MML (Man Machine Language) operation client.

MML itself is just a human-machine interface protocol. The user configures the BSC through the MML operation client provided by the vendor. The MML operation client assembles the information input by the user into an MML command string of a predetermined format, and then communicates with the GBAM (GSM Back Administration Module) as a server side through a local area network (or a wide area network), and configures the GBAM. The BSC where the BSC is located completes the operation and maintenance of the BSC, and then converts the response message returned by the GBAM into an MML command execution report for display to the user. Users can also save certain MML command strings to files, upload them to the GBAM server in batches from the MML operation client, and implement batch configuration.

In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors found that the prior art has at least the following problems:

Although the MML operation client can implement batch configuration and the configuration efficiency is improved, it is still difficult to meet user requirements in many application scenarios. For example, moving a base station between different BSCs is difficult to achieve only with MML commands. At the same time, the MML operation client faces multiple versions of the problem, and the saved MML script version compatibility is not strong, which is not conducive to the unified configuration of the operator.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned prior art problem is described by taking the BSC in GSM as an example. However, the same problem exists in network devices in other communication systems and other network devices in GSM. In different systems, network devices may have different names. Summary of the invention

As shown in FIG. 1 , a flowchart of a method for configuring a network device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: Step 101: Receive and parse a configuration file based on a user plane, and obtain corresponding data plane configuration data.

The embodiment of the present invention is described by taking a BSC as an example. According to the actual plan, the telecom operators need to increase the base station, cell or carrier frequency in batches under different BSCs, or delete the original configured base station, cell or carrier frequency, or partially adjust the original radio layer parameters to meet the actual situation. The needs of the application scenario. For operator operators, the above planning operations are generally performed offline. After the planning is completed, the operator can describe the planning result in the format defined by the XML (extensible markup language) interface model (which can be called XML format), generate a user plane-based configuration file, and then pass the agreed interface. The user plane-based configuration file is delivered to the configuration device of the network device for processing. The configuration device of the network device may be an independent network element, for example, an operation and maintenance terminal, or other terminals under the communication system. In addition, the user plane-based configuration file may be manually written, or may be generated by a corresponding tool. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the form of the configuration file generation.

The interface of the above-mentioned agreement can be agreed by the operator OSS (Operation Support System) and the device vendor to implement communication between the user plane and the network element. The interface can also be a user plane-based interface, such as a northbound interface. The corresponding file can be called a northbound configuration file, which is also based on the user plane, and is user plane data described in XML. The process of parsing the northbound configuration file is the process of converting the northbound configuration file from the user plane data to the data plane data. Specifically, the configuration device of the network device, after receiving the northbound configuration file based on the user plane, parses the northbound configuration file, and obtains corresponding northbound configuration data, where the configuration data is data plane data including network device description information, and The NE command is related.

Step 102: Extract the current network configuration data of the network device, perform offline data configuration according to the acquired data plane configuration data and the extracted current network configuration data, and generate a data configuration delivery script.

After the northbound configuration data of the network device description is obtained from the northbound configuration file, the network configuration data of the network device is automatically extracted, and the offline data is configured according to the current network configuration data and the northbound configuration data. Since the entire configuration process is not associated with the operation of the network device, it is called offline configuration. The current network configuration data is the current data plane data of the network device, and the northbound configuration data includes operation information for the network device, including adding or deleting a base station, a cell, or a carrier frequency.

The offline configuration process includes: applying northbound configuration data to the existing network configuration data, generating offline configured data, and verifying the off-line configured data. On the basis of the correct configuration of the offline data, compare the data after the offline configuration with the data before the offline configuration, determine the change information of the data plane data of the network device before and after the offline configuration, and generate a data configuration and send the script for subsequent Send to the corresponding network device.

The data configuration and delivery script may include: a delivery layer data configuration delivery script and a wireless layer data configuration delivery script. Step 103: Send a data configuration sending script to the network device.

The data configuration and delivery script is sent to the network device, and the data configuration and delivery script is valid online on the network device.

Then, the online configuration effective result file of the network device is obtained in time, and the result file is analyzed, and the configuration result of the network device is returned to the user, and the entire configuration process is ended.

The network device in the embodiment of the present invention may be a network element that needs to be configured in a communication network, such as a base station, a BSC in GSM,

A device such as an RNC (Radio Network Controller) in WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) may be another network device.

The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages, because the user plane-based configuration file is used to perform offline data configuration on the network device, and the generated data configuration sending script is sent to the network device, so that the data configuration is sent to the network in the network. Effective in the device, which simplifies the operation of data configuration of network devices and reduces operating costs.

As shown in FIG. 2, a flowchart of a specific implementation manner of a configuration of a network device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: Step 201: Receive a configuration file based on a user plane.

In this embodiment, the user plane-based configuration file is a northbound configuration file, and the network device is a BSC as an example. The northbound profile is described in common XML, simple, intuitive, versatile, and easy to extend and maintain. The description of the northbound profile model field is completely based on the user plane, and is easy to understand. It can be written by hand or by a corresponding tool. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the form of the configuration file. The northbound configuration file has strong compatibility. The user only needs to submit the configuration file to the configuration device of the network device for processing, without paying attention to the version of the corresponding network device, or even the network device vendor. For the user, this processing mechanism effectively shields the differences between different network devices and is more conducive to user operation and maintenance.

The basic sample format of the northbound configuration file is described as follows: <cfgf ile: subsession netype="BSC" opmode: BestEffort " neid=,, BSC 226

<gn: DataContainer modif ier=" create > >

</attributes>

</TRXBoard>

</Link>

</Cell>

</BTS>

</Transmi ssi on>

</BSC :BSC_8. 0>

</gn: DataContainer)

</cfgf ile: subsession)

<cfgf ile: subsession netype=" BSC" opmode: BestEffort " neid=,, BSC 224

<gn: DataContainer modif ier=" delete " >

</attributes>

</BTS>

</Transmission>

</BSC :BSC_8. 0>

</ gn: DataContainer)

</cfgf ile: subsession) where neid describes the specific BSC name. The NMS can supervise multiple BSCs. Correspondingly, in the same northbound configuration file, the configuration data of different BSCs can be described. Data configuration The operation, that is, the modifier, includes: adding create, deleting delete, modifying update, and special mobile base station reparent operation; node BTS means that the node describes the base Station related information; The attribute part BTSName describes the specific base station name.

Step 202: Perform pre-verification on the user plane-based configuration file.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the step may be implemented by a configuration device of the network device. Specifically, the configuration device may define a file according to an XML model of the user plane, and generate a model verification file (such as generating a Schema file to check the validity of the configuration XML file). The model verification file is used to pre-verify the validity of the northbound configuration file. If the northbound configuration file is found to be invalid, the error report is returned to the user in time. Otherwise, go to step 203.

Step 203: Parse the configuration file based on the user plane, and obtain corresponding data plane configuration data.

If the result of the pre-verification of the validity of the northbound configuration file is that the northbound configuration file is valid, the northbound configuration file is parsed to obtain the corresponding data plane configuration data. In the embodiment of the present invention, the data plane configuration data may be referred to as a northbound direction. Configuration Data.

Step 204: Perform splitting on the acquired data plane configuration data in units of BSC.

When configuring multiple BSCs, you can generate a northbound configuration file by a single BSC, or you can aggregate all BSC configuration information related to configuration changes in a northbound configuration file. If the user generates a northbound configuration file according to a single BSC, the user needs to send each northbound configuration file to the configuration device of the network device one by one through a corresponding interface (which may be referred to as a northbound configuration interface in this embodiment); if all The configuration information is summarized in a northbound configuration file. The user only needs to deliver the northbound configuration file once through the corresponding interface.

If the data configuration information of different BSCs is described in the northbound configuration file, the configuration device of the network device performs effective splitting of the obtained northbound configuration data in units of BSCs, and performs respectively on each BSC according to the split northbound configuration data. Configuration.

Step 205: Extract the current network configuration data of the BSC.

For the northbound configuration data of a BSC, the configuration device of the network device obtains the description information of the BSC from the northbound configuration file, and automatically extracts the current network configuration data of the BSC, so as to perform configuration operations based on the current network configuration data.

Step 206: Divide the northbound configuration data into transport layer configuration data and radio layer configuration data.

From the perspective of configuration services, the configuration device of the network device divides the northbound configuration data into two blocks, namely, transport layer configuration data and radio layer configuration data.

It can be understood that the division of this step is optional. If the division of this step is not made, the subsequent steps no longer divide the transport layer and the radio layer in detail, but operate as a whole.

Step 207: Analyze the transport layer configuration data, and perform transport layer offline data configuration according to the transport layer configuration data and the current network configuration data.

The configuration device of the network device analyzes the transport layer configuration data, and implements the offline data configuration of the transport layer, such as adding and deleting base stations, adding and deleting carrier frequencies, etc., based on the transport layer configuration data and the current network configuration data, and the foregoing operations are all derived from the northbound interface initial. The northbound configuration file provided.

Step 208: Perform data verification on the operation of the offline data configuration of the transport layer. If the operation of the offline data configuration of the transport layer is incorrect, go to step 209. If the operation of the offline data configuration of the transport layer is correct, go to step 210.

During the offline data configuration of the northbound transport layer, the configuration device of the network device performs data verification on the operation of the offline data configuration of the transport layer according to the offline configuration result of the transport layer.

Step 209: Generate a transport layer error analysis report, and return the transport layer error analysis report to the user. If the operation of the offline data configuration of the transport layer is incorrect, and the operation error is caused by the description of the transport layer configuration data in the northbound configuration file, the configuration device of the network device will generate an error analysis report and return it to the user for correction. Wrong northbound configuration file.

Step 210: Generate a transport layer data configuration delivery script according to the result of the offline data configuration of the transport layer.

If the entire transport layer offline data configuration operation is correct and the overall data check is effectively passed, the transport layer offline data configuration is terminated. On the basis of the correct configuration of the offline data of the transport layer, the configuration device of the network device compares the data of the offline configuration of the transport layer with the data before the offline configuration, and generates a script for transmitting the transport layer data for subsequent delivery to the corresponding BSC.

Step 211: Analyze the wireless layer configuration data, and perform wireless layer offline data configuration according to the wireless layer configuration data and the current network configuration data.

After the transmission layer data configuration is sent, the configuration device of the network device analyzes the wireless layer configuration data, and performs wireless layer offline data configuration according to the wireless layer configuration data and the current network configuration data on the basis of the transmission layer offline data configuration. Configuration or adjustment of parameters related to the wireless layer. For example, the adjustment of the cell network optimization parameters, the creation or deletion of the external cell, the neighbor relationship, etc., all of the above operations are derived from the northbound configuration file initially provided by the northbound interface.

Step 212: Perform data verification on the operation of the offline data configuration of the wireless layer. If the operation of the offline data configuration of the wireless layer is incorrect, go to step 213. If the operation of the offline data configuration of the wireless layer is correct, go to step 214.

In the process of configuring offline data in the wireless layer, the configuration device of the network device performs data verification on the operation of configuring the wireless layer offline data according to the offline configuration result of the wireless layer.

Step 213: Generate a wireless layer error analysis report, and return the wireless layer error analysis report to the user.

If the wireless layer offline data configuration operation is incorrect, and the operation error is caused by the wireless layer configuration data description error in the northbound configuration file, the network device configuration device will generate an error analysis report in time and return it to the user for user reference to correct. Wrong northbound configuration file.

Step 214: Generate a wireless layer data configuration delivery script according to the result of the wireless layer offline data configuration.

If the entire wireless layer offline data configuration operation is correct and the overall data check is effectively passed, the wireless layer offline data configuration is terminated. On the basis of the correct configuration of the wireless layer offline data, the configuration device of the network device compares the data of the offline configuration of the wireless layer with the data before the offline configuration, and generates a wireless layer data configuration and sends a script for subsequent delivery to the corresponding BSC.

Step 215: Send the transport layer data configuration sending script and the wireless layer data configuration sending script to the BSC.

After the configuration of the wireless layer data configuration is successfully generated, the configuration device of the network device sends the script of the transport layer data generated in step 210 and the script sent by the wireless layer generated in step 214 to the corresponding BSC online.

In the actual application scenario, the telecommunication operator may also involve mobile operations on the configured base station, such as moving from the directly connected BSC to the cascaded BTS, or moving from the cascaded BTS to the directly connected BSC, or replacing the directly connected BSC. The port to be added, or the application scenario such as the BST to which the cascade connection belongs. The above moving operations can be moved inside the BSC or between different BSCs.

If the BTS is moved within the BSC, all configuration operations are performed in the same BSC, and all generated configuration data scripts are also delivered to the same BSC. If the BTS is moved between the BSCs, the configuration operations will be in two. The configuration data scripts generated on different BSCs are sent to different BSCs to take effect.

Optionally, the method for configuring the network device in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the step of reporting the effective result: Step 216: Obtain a BSC online configuration effective result file, analyze the online configuration effective result file, and return the analysis result to the user.

After the BSC is online, the configuration device of the network device obtains the BSC online configuration effective result file and analyzes the online configuration effective result file. The final analysis result is returned to the user, and the entire northbound configuration process is terminated.

The technical solution of the embodiment of the invention has the following advantages:

The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention is compatible with different vendors (such as suppliers of network devices) and different versions of network devices, which facilitates understanding, maintenance, and extension of configuration data.

The configuration file is based on the user plane, for example in XML format. Because the user plane-based configuration file is used, the offline data configuration of the BSC solves the format problem of the configuration data, solves the problem that the operator faces multiple vendors and multiple software versions, and reduces the interface planning and interface data configuration. Difficulty, improved configuration efficiency and correctness of configuration data, greatly reducing operation and maintenance costs.

Moreover, the configuration process of the network device only requires a small amount of interaction with the user, and the data configuration can be implemented from the network management layer to different network devices. Since the offline data configuration can be performed on multiple network devices at the same time, the network device data is configured in batches. In other words, the effect of improving efficiency and reducing costs is more obvious.

Corresponding to the user plane-based configuration file, the interface mode of the operator 0SS system and the network device configuration may adopt the configuration interface file mode corresponding to the above user plane-based configuration file.

In addition, in order to implement the configuration data automation process, it is proposed that the configuration device of the network device automatically extracts the current network configuration data of the corresponding network device according to the description of the required configuration file, and performs off-line data configuration on the basis of the configuration, and generates and distributes the configuration. The script is delivered to the corresponding network device for it to take effect.

Further, if the correctness check of the data configuration operation is added during the configuration process of the network device, a complete analysis report can be provided for the user to refer to, so that the user can find the problem and correct it in time. Of course, it can be understood that the step of checking the correctness of the above data configuration operation (i.e., data verification for the operation of the offline data configuration) is optional.

Moreover, the configuration device implementing the above configuration process can be compatible with different versions of the network device without requiring the user to care about the version adaptation problem. The configuration device of the network device may be integrated in the network element or may be independent of all network elements. For example, it may be an operation and maintenance terminal under the communication system. The network device in the embodiment of the present invention may be a network element that needs to be configured in a communication network, such as a base station, a BSC in GSM, an RNC in WCDMA, or other devices.
