Universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) is as the 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system) that adopts Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (WCDMA) air interface technologies, adopted and the similar structure of second generation mobile communication system, comprise Radio Access Network (RAN, Radio Access Network) and core network (CN, Core Network).Wherein, RAN is used to handle all and wireless relevant function, and the RAN in the UMTS system is commonly referred to land radio access web (UTRAN), and all voice calls are connected with data in the CN processing UMTS system, and the exchange of realization and external network and routing function.UTRAN, CN and subscriber equipment (UE, User Equipment) have constituted whole UMTS system together.
Comprise one or several RNS (RNS) among the UTRAN, RNS is made up of a radio network controller (RNC) and one or more base stations (NodeB), and the RNC among the RNS and NodeB are connected as shown in Figure 1 with CN and UE's.RNC is used to distribute and is attached thereto with control or the Radio Resource of relevant NodeB, and NodeB then finishes the conversion of the data flow between the Iub interface and Uu interface among Fig. 1, also participates in a part of RRM simultaneously.
Because the UTRAN network is an asynchronous system, RNC often adopts different timing reference inputs with NodeB, because timing reference input and clock accuracy difference tend to cause the drift of timing differential between RNC and the NodeB.With NodeB is example, because NodeB relates to the synchronous of air interface and transmission channel, therefore quite high to the requirement of clock, clock skew with respect to RNC may cause the inaccurate synchronously of air interface, in fact some processes that relate to synchronous configuration are not to come into force at the same time, if it is too big to be somebody's turn to do skew, promptly layoutprocedure has differed the more time synchronously, then can cause packet that situations such as packet loss, transmission confusion take place in transmission course.
If the management equipment of operation and maintenance center (OMC) and so on can be learnt the timing differential between RNC and NodeB and drift occur, then by mode announcement apparatus attendants such as alarms, by the attendant clock adjustment of the two is eliminated drift, but present OMC can't learn this situation.
In addition, the problem of above-mentioned timing differential drift does not exist only in the UMTS system that comprises RNC and NodeB, also is present in other systems that use asynchronous mode.

Among the described step a3, described to all timing differentials that obtain average for: abandon the maximum and the minimum value of timing differential, afterwards remaining all timing differentials averaged.
This method further comprises: a timer is set, and regularly starts described step a, reach b by described timer.
Further comprise after the described step b: when the different drift of clock correction at that time played pendulum, the information that the drift of timing differential is played pendulum sent to management equipment.

Embodiment
Because it is synchronous to carry out node between the radio network controller of employing asynchronous mode and the base station, therefore, the present invention program's core concept is: obtain timing differential between radio network controller and base station synchronously by node, if present clock difference is compared with last time bigger variation having taken place, has determined that then clock is in an unsure state.
Radio network controller among the present invention program and base station can be the equipment that adopts asynchronous mode arbitrarily, no matter be which type of equipment, its concrete processing all is identical.For ease of describing, be example with RNC and NodeB below, and the present invention program is described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
For ease of judging whether present clock difference has greatly changed, the present invention program at first is provided with a threshold value thresholding.This threshold value thresholding specifically depends on the sense cycle of clock accuracy and timing differential, suppose that clock accuracy is 0.05ppm, be that the possible drift of per second is less than 0.05 microsecond, sense cycle is 24 hours, then maximum may drifting about is 60 * 60 * 24 * 0.05/1000000=0.00432 second, therefore can be with the twice of threshold value threshold setting for this maximum possible drift, that is to say, can think and all belong to normal in the drift of 0.00432 * 2=0.00864 within second, if drift thinks then that greater than 0.00864 second clock has been in an unsure state.
After being provided with the threshold value thresholding, the present invention program's realization flow is specifically realized by following steps as shown in Figure 2:
Step 201, by the node synchronizing process between RNC and the NodeB, obtain the timing differential between RNC and the NodeB.
Wherein, carry out node between RNC and NodeB synchronously as shown in Figure 3, at first send the descendant node synchronous control frame to NodeB, comprise parameter T in this frame by RNC
1, this parameter is used to identify issuing the time of this frame; NodeB responds the upstream node synchronous control frame at once after receiving this control frame, comprise parameter T in this frame

2Be used to identify the time that NodeB receives the descendant node synchronous control frame, T
3Be used to identify the time of returning the upstream node synchronous control frame.The time T of upstream node synchronous control frame received in the RNC record
4, can utilize T afterwards
1, T
2, T
3And T
4Calculate the timing differential between RNC and NodeB.Concrete grammar is: suppose the up-downgoing time delay symmetry of RNC and NodeB, then (T

3)/2 are T for NodeB at RNC
1The moment constantly, T
2-(T
2-T
1+ T
4-T
3)/2-T
1It then is the timing differential between the two.
Step 202, RNC also write down timing differential between each NodeB and this RNC.
The NodeB that is connected with RNC often has a plurality of, so RNC need write down the timing differential between each NodeB and this RNC.
Step 203～205, RNC judge that whether current each NodeB that measures and the timing differential of self exist bigger variation with the timing differential of last time, whether the variation of promptly judging twice timing differential is greater than the threshold value thresholding that sets in advance, if determine that then the drift of timing differential plays pendulum; Otherwise, determine that the drift of timing differential is normal.
RNC can send to equipment such as OMC with this information after the drift of determining timing differential plays pendulum.Specifically can be to report by daily record, alarm or other form.
Can realize the monitoring of the present invention by above-mentioned steps to the drift of timing differential between RNC and NodeB.
In above-mentioned steps 201,, can also adopt the method for repeatedly measuring timing differential and averaging for guaranteeing to measure the accuracy of timing differential.Such as, it is synchronous repeatedly to carry out node, in these results averaged to obtaining, then with resulting mean value as the current timing differential that records.For making the measurement result that obtains more accurate, can average to the timing differential of trying one's best repeatedly, such as, can average to the measurement more than 20 times.
In addition, be to get rid of the interference of propagation delay time shake, in the above-mentioned scheme of obtaining timing differential by averaging, can also further obtain time delay, promptly obtain T
2-(T
2-T
1+ T
4-T
3)/2-T
1, also promptly obtain ((T4-T1)-(T3-T2))/2, and abandon minimum and maximum time delay, afterwards remaining time delay is averaged.
For continuing to determine clock stability, such scheme need periodically be carried out, and therefore a timer can be set in RNC, regularly starts above-mentioned processing procedure by this timer.Because the accuracy of measurement result depends primarily on the stability of propagation delay time, therefore measure preferably to be chosen under the less situation of system load and carry out, such as being the late into the night, start-up period that therefore can timer is set to every day.
Certainly, if wish and can pinpoint the problems as early as possible, start-up period that then can timer is set to the short time, and such as being set to hour, and it is synchronous to adopt independent transmission to carry out node, thereby can find the drift of timing differential as early as possible.
The above only is the present invention program's preferred embodiment, not in order to limit protection scope of the present invention.
