Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments, but not all embodiments, of the present invention.
It should be noted that the words "first", "second", "third", etc. are used herein only to distinguish the same names from each other, and do not imply a relationship or order between the names.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for blind start of a base station, where an execution subject of the method is the base station. A centralized DHCP server is deployed in a radio access network RAN, and each radio network controller RNC contained in the RAN does not start a DHCP function; the method comprises the following steps 101-105:
101. the base station initiates a DHCP process to receive an Operation and Maintenance (OM) channel IP address allocated by the DHCP server.
102. And the base station initiates an OM channel establishing process carrying base station identity (ID, EID) information to the DHCP server based on the OM channel IP address so as to establish an OM channel with the DHCP server.
103. And the base station sends a base station configuration file request message to the DHCP server through the OM channel so as to receive a response message of the DHCP server and extract the storage information of the base station configuration file carried in the response message.
In this embodiment, the base station configuration file is a base station transmission parameter configuration file.
In the embodiment, the DHCP server searches the base station configuration file record according to the EID information reported by the base station, if the base station configuration file record exists, the DHCP server responds a success message to the base station and informs the storage information of the base station configuration file in the message; and if not, responding to a failure message and waiting for manual intervention.
104. And the base station acquires the base station configuration file based on the storage information of the base station configuration file.
In this embodiment, step 104 specifically includes: the base station initiates a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) process based on the storage information of the base station configuration File, and acquires the base station configuration File from a DHCP server.
In this embodiment, in step 104, the storage information of the base station configuration file includes: and the storage path, the file name, the login user name, the password and other information of the base station configuration file.
105. And the base station establishes connection with the RNC in the RAN based on the base station configuration file to realize blind start of the base station.
In this embodiment, in step 101, the DHCP process adopts a Client/Server (C/S) mode, where the Client plays a leading role in the DHCP process, the Client must actively initiate the DHCP process, and the Server passively responds. In this embodiment, the base station serves as a client.
The DHCP process is divided into two phases, specifically described as a first phase and a second phase as follows:
the first stage is as follows: also called discovery phase, i.e. the phase in which the base station looks for a DHCP server. The base station sends the DHCP discover information in a broadcast manner to find the DHCP server, i.e., sends specific broadcast information to the address 255.255.255.255. The DHCP server receives the DHCP discover information and responds.
And a second stage: also called provisioning phase, i.e. the phase in which the DHCP server provisions the IP address. The DHCP server receives the DHCP discover information and makes a response, specifically: the DHCP server selects one of IP addresses that have not been leased to be allocated to the base station, and transmits DHCP offer (offer) information, i.e., DHCP offer information, including the leased IP address or the permanent IP address and other settings to the base station to inform the DHCP client that it can use the IP address it provides. The IP address is an OM channel IP address.
It can be seen that, in this embodiment, after the base station is accessed to the network, local transmission parameter and wireless parameter configuration are not required, the base station automatically allocates an OM channel IP address of the base station by using a DHCP server through the DHCP, and after the base station acquires an OM channel IP address belonging to the base station, the base station initiates an FTP process by using the OM channel IP address, acquires a base station configuration file of the base station from the DHCP server, that is, a base station transmission parameter configuration file, and establishes transmission with the RNC by using transmission parameters in the configuration file.
Compared with the prior art, the method for blind start of the base station disclosed in this embodiment deploys a centralized dynamic host configuration protocol DHCP server in the RAN, and each radio network controller RNC included in the RAN does not open the DHCP function, so as to solve the problems that in the existing base station blind start technology, when the number of base stations in the network is large and there are many RNCs that open the DHCP service function, a large amount of data interaction is generated, the network overhead is increased rapidly, and even a network storm is caused.
In a specific example, considering transmission evolution of an operator at present, a Transport Network mainly adopts a Packet Transport Network (PTN) networking mode, and when a layer two PTN Transport Network device is networked, a certain physical port of an RNC is connected with a plurality of base stations through a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) aggregation mode.
In this embodiment, when a transport network networking mode of the base station, each RNC in the RAN, and the DHCP server is PTN, before the base station initiates a DHCP process in step 101 shown in fig. 1, the method for blindly starting a base station disclosed in this embodiment further includes steps 100 and 100' not shown in fig. 1:
100. after a base station is accessed into a RAN through a PTN access device connected with the base station, a first Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) message sent by the DHCP server is monitored on each interface of the base station.
100' and after monitoring the first ARP message, the base station acquires a virtual local area network identity (VLAN ID) carried in the first ARP message.
In this embodiment, the DHCP server is configured with a VLAN information table in advance, and the VLAN information table includes the ID of each VLAN and the RNC information included in each VLAN. The DHCP server broadcasts a first ARP message carrying VLAN IDs periodically, and different VLAN IDs correspond to different first ARP messages.
In this embodiment, in step 100, the PTN access device connected to the base station may filter each first ARP message. When the VLAN ID carried in a certain first ARP message is the same as the VLAN ID of the port of the PTN access equipment connected with the base station, the first ARP message can successfully reach the base station, and other first ARP messages are discarded due to different VLAN IDs, so that the base station learns the VLAN ID belonging to the base station.
Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the base station initiates a DHCP process in step 101 shown in fig. 1, which specifically includes: and the base station initiates a DHCP process carrying the VLAN ID information, namely, the base station sends the DHCP discover information carrying the VLAN ID information in a broadcasting mode to search a DHCP server.
In a specific example two, in step 105 shown in fig. 1 in this embodiment, the establishing, by the base station, a connection with an RNC in the RAN based on the base station profile specifically includes the following steps 1051 to 1054 not shown in fig. 1:
1051. and the base station broadcasts a second ARP message to each RNC in the RAN based on the base station configuration file, wherein the second ARP message is used for requesting interface Media Access Control (MAC) address information of each RNC in the RAN.
In this embodiment, in step 1051, after obtaining the configuration file of the base station, the base station updates its transmission configuration parameter by using the transmission parameter in the configuration file, and broadcasts a second ARP message to each RNC in the RAN by using the transmission configuration parameter, so as to obtain interface MAC address information of each RNC in the RAN.
1052. And the base station acquires the interface MAC address information of the target RNC carried in the first response message in the received response messages fed back by the RNCs.
1053. And the base station sends a message carrying the MAC address information of the base station to the target RNC so that the target RNC can acquire the MAC address information of the base station.
Of course, the interface of each RNC in the RAN may also initiate an ARP request procedure to obtain the MAC address information of the base station. At this time, the base station only sends a message carrying the MAC address information of the base station to the target RNC.
1054. And the base station initiates a Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) coupling to the target RNC based on the interface MAC address information of the target RNC.
Of course, SCTP association can also be initiated by the target RNC.
It can be seen that, in the method for blind-starting a base station disclosed in this embodiment, after obtaining a configuration file of the base station, the base station updates its transmission configuration parameter by using a transmission parameter in the configuration file, and broadcasts a second ARP message to each RNC in the RAN by using the transmission configuration parameter, so as to obtain MAC address information of a target RNC interface. And the target RNC interface can also initiate an ARP request process to acquire the MAC address of the base station, and the target RNC can initiate SCTP coupling after success.
In a specific example three, considering the transmission evolution of the current operator, the transmission network mainly adopts a PTN networking mode, and when the layer two PTN transmission network device is networked, a certain physical port of the RNC is connected with a plurality of base stations in a VLAN aggregation mode.
Based on the above specific example one, in this embodiment, when the transport network networking method of the base station, each RNC in the RAN, and the DHCP server is PTN, the step 105 shown in fig. 1 includes that the base station establishes a connection with the RNC in the RAN based on the base station configuration file, and specifically includes steps 1051 'to 1054' not shown in fig. 1:
1051' and the base station broadcasts a third ARP message to the VLAN corresponding to the VLAN ID based on the configuration file of the base station, wherein the third ARP message is used for requesting interface MAC address information of each RNC in the VLAN.
In this embodiment, in step 1051', after obtaining the configuration file of the base station, the base station updates its own transmission configuration parameter by using the transmission parameter in the configuration file, and broadcasts the third ARP message to the VLAN corresponding to the VLAN ID by using the transmission configuration parameter, so as to obtain the interface MAC address information of each RNC in the VLAN corresponding to the VLAN ID.
1052' the base station obtains the interface MAC address information of the target RNC carried in the first response message in the response messages fed back by each RNC.
1053' and the base station send the message carrying the MAC address information of the base station to the target RNC, so that the target RNC can obtain the MAC address information of the base station.
Of course, the interface of each RNC in the VLAN corresponding to the VLAN ID may also initiate an ARP request process to obtain the MAC address information of the base station. At this time, the base station only sends a message carrying the MAC address information of the base station to the target RNC.
1054' and the base station initiate SCTP coupling to the target RNC based on the interface MAC address information of the target RNC.
Of course, SCTP association can also be initiated by the target RNC.
It can be seen that in the method for blind start of a base station disclosed in this embodiment, after obtaining a configuration file of the base station, the base station updates its own transmission configuration parameter by using a transmission parameter in the configuration file, and broadcasts a third ARP message to a VLAN corresponding to the VLAN ID by using the transmission configuration parameter, so as to obtain interface MAC address information of each RNC in the VLAN corresponding to the VLAN ID. And the target RNC interface can also initiate an ARP request process to acquire the MAC address of the base station, and the target RNC can initiate SCTP coupling after success.
It can be seen that, with the method for blind start of a base station disclosed in each of the embodiments, by deploying a centralized DHCP server in a radio access network RAN, and not opening a DHCP function by each radio network controller RNC included in the RAN, the problems that in the existing blind start technology of a base station, when the number of base stations in a network is large and there are many RNCs opening a DHCP service function, a large amount of data interaction occurs, network overhead is increased, and even a network storm is caused are solved.
Further, the method for blind start of a base station disclosed in each of the above embodiments solves the problem that in the prior art, each host installed with a TCP/IP protocol on a network receives broadcast information, and the system overhead of processing is increased for the host of each network node.
