Method, device and system for configuring access device parameters

technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to the configuration of access device parameters.

Background technique

With the vigorous development of network services and the wide application of broadband access networks and wireless networks, how to better integrate the respective advantages of mobile access networks and fixed access networks, how to make better use of existing network resources, and save operators The cost of high-speed and convenient access to the network is getting widespread attention.

A new network structure and corresponding functional entities have been disclosed in the prior art, that is, two network entities AG (Access Gateway, Access Gateway) are added to the original UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) network. Gateway) and AP (Access Point, access point device), other UMTS entity functions and interfaces remain unchanged to simplify the structure of the packet data network, reduce network processing delay, and improve forwarding performance. In this invention, AG and AP are also suitable for GPRS, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA and other networks.

Among them, the AP is a terminal type access device. The official term in the industry is Femtocell (femtocell base station), which is often used in homes and small leisure places. Because of its small size and light weight, it is easy for users to carry. If the operator allows APs to roam within the operating area, to ensure the best performance of the AP, you must configure appropriate parameters for the AP according to the location of the AP. Under the existing conditions, when the AP realizes roaming, the AP user must notify the operator in time, and after the operator confirms that the AP parameters need to be changed, it can be realized by manually modifying the AP parameters.

During the research and practice of the prior art, the inventors of the present invention found that due to the huge number of APs, once the APs are commercially available on a large scale, the AP parameters are manually modified to ensure that the performance of the APs after roaming is not bad. If it is too realistic, it will not only greatly increase the maintenance cost of the operator, but also be very inconvenient for users.

Embodiments of the present invention also provide corresponding devices and systems, which will be described in detail below.

Embodiment one,

A method for configuring access device parameters. According to system configuration, for example, when the access device starts up or when the AP receives a parameter reconfiguration instruction or periodically, the network side can obtain the current location information of the access device, and then according to The location information obtains the access device parameters corresponding to the location information, and sends the access device parameters to the access device; the access device updates the configuration according to the received access device parameters, so as to achieve the purpose of automatic configuration.

Of course, in order to reduce the signaling traffic between the network side and the access device, the network side can first judge whether the access device parameters need to be reconfigured according to the location information, and if not, end the process; otherwise, if necessary, send The access device parameters corresponding to the location information are given to the access device.

Embodiment two,

According to the method described in Embodiment 1, specifically, when the AP integrates the function of a GPS (Global Positioning System, Global Positioning System) receiver, according to the system configuration, such as when the AP starts or when the AP receives a parameter reconfiguration instruction or Periodically, the AP detects the longitude and latitude information of the current location of the AP through the GPS receiver, where the longitude and latitude information includes longitude and latitude. The AP reports the latitude and longitude information of the current location to the network side, and the network side searches the current AP area according to the latitude and longitude information of the current location, and then judges whether the current AP area is consistent with the original AP area. If they are consistent, it is determined that there is no need to update the AP parameters, and the process ends , or send a prompt message indicating that the parameters do not need to be updated to the AP. After the AP receives the message, the process ends; otherwise, if it is inconsistent, it is determined that the AP parameters need to be reconfigured, and the AP parameters corresponding to the current AP area are obtained and sent. The AP parameters are given to the AP. The original AP area mentioned here refers to the AP area corresponding to the longitude and latitude information of the AP's location when the AP updated the configuration parameters last time.

As shown in Figure 2, the specific process is as follows:

201. The AP detects the latitude and longitude information of the current location of the AP;

202. The AP sends the latitude and longitude information of the current location to the network side;

203. The network side searches for the current AP area according to the latitude and longitude information of the current location;

According to system configuration, for example, when the access device is started or when the AP receives a parameter reconfiguration instruction or periodically, the access device can detect the current location information of the access device, and then Send the location information to the network side, and after receiving the access device parameters corresponding to the current location information of the AP sent by the network side, update the configuration according to the received access device parameters, so as to achieve the purpose of automatic configuration.

Referring to Figure 3, the following describes the access device as an AP, and its specific process is as follows:

301. The access device detects the current location information of the AP;

302. The access device sends the current location information of the AP to the network side;

303. The access device receives the access device parameters sent by the network side and corresponding to the current location information of the AP;

304. The access device updates the configuration according to the access device parameters;

Embodiment four,

On the basis of Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 2, in order to reduce the frequency of judging the location change of the AP by the network side and reduce the signaling traffic between the network side and the AP, the AP can first judge whether the location of the AP has changed. Send the location information of the AP to the network side when its own location changes.

After the AP is started, it detects the latitude and longitude information of the current location of the AP, and compares the latitude and longitude information of the current location with the latitude and longitude information of the original location. If the comparison result is unchanged, the AP determines that its location has not changed and does not send the current location. The longitude and latitude information of the system is sent to the network side, and the process ends. If the comparison result shows that there has been a change, the AP determines that its location has changed, and sends the latitude and longitude information of the current location to the network side. Of course, in order to reduce the signaling traffic between the network side and the AP, you can pre-set Set a threshold. When the latitude and longitude change exceeds this threshold, the AP sends the latitude and longitude information of the current location to the network side, otherwise, it does not send it. The method for the AP to determine whether its location has changed may be as follows:

Judging whether the inequality ‖p1-p0‖>D is true, when the inequality is true, it indicates that the position of AP has changed, otherwise, it has not changed;

Among them: p1 represents the latitude and longitude information (Lo1, La1) detected by the current AP,

p0 represents the latitude and longitude information (Lo0, La0) of the initial position of the AP,

D represents the threshold at which the operator believes that the location of the AP has changed.

Take the network side including ACS and OMC as an example. ACS is used to record and judge whether the location of the AP has changed, and realize the automatic configuration of the address of the central office network element related to the AP; OMC is used to record and judge whether the location of the AP has changed. , and realize automatic configuration of AP-related wireless parameters.

Among them, the corresponding relationship between the ACS record area and the AP-related network element parameters, see the following table for specific information:

area Parameters of AP-related local network elements   Area 1 (LoLower_1<=longitude NE11 IP address, NE12 IP address, ... NE1m IP address

1<=LoUpper_1; LaLower_1<=longitude 1<=LaUpper1) Area 2 (LoLower_2<=longitude 2<=LoUpper_2; LaLower_2<=longitude 2<=LaUpper_2) NE21 IP address，NE22 IP address，...NE2m IP address ...  … Area n (LoLower_n<=longitude 2<=LoUpper_n; LaLower_n<=longitude 2<=LaUpper_n) NEn1 IP address，NEn2 IP address，...NEnm IP address

The corresponding relationship between the OMC record area and the AP-related wireless parameters, see the following table for specific information:

area AP related wireless parameters Area 1 (LoLower_1<=Longitude 1<=LoUpper_1; LaLower_1<=Longitude 1<=LaUpper1) RNC-ID-1, Cell-ID-1, Scramble Code-1, Frequency-1,... Area 2 (LoLower_2<=longitude 2<=LoUpper_2; LaLower_2<=longitude 2<=LaUpper_2) RNC-ID-2, Cell-ID-2, Scramble Code-2, Frequency-2,... ....  …

Area n (LoLower_n<=longitude 2<=LoUpper_n; LaLower_n<=longitude 2<=LaUpper_n) RNC-ID-n, Cell-ID-n, Scramble Code-n, Frequency-n,...

According to the system configuration, for example, when the AP starts up or when the AP receives a parameter reconfiguration command or periodically, the AP detects the air interface information through the GPS receiver and detects the longitude and latitude information p1 (Lo1, La1) of the current location of the AP, and the AP will p1(Lo1, La1) is compared with the latitude and longitude information p0(Lo0, La0) of the original location, if ‖p1-p0‖≤D, the AP determines that its location has not changed, and does not send the latitude and longitude information p1( Lo1, La1) to the ACS, and the process ends. If ‖p1-p0‖>D, the AP determines that its location has changed, and sends the latitude and longitude information p1(Lo1, La1) of the current location to the ACS, where D represents the threshold for the operator to consider that the location of the AP has changed.

After receiving the latitude and longitude information p1(Lo1, La1) of the AP's current location, the ACS searches for the current AP area according to p1(Lo1, La1), and determines whether the current AP area belongs to the original AP area. The AP sends a "do not update AP parameters" message. After the AP receives the message, the process ends; The address configuration information is sent to the AP; after receiving the address configuration information of the central office network element, the AP updates the configuration of the central office network element address of the AP.

The ACS sends the latitude and longitude information p1 (Lo1, La1) of the AP's current location to the OMC.

After receiving p1(Lo1, La1), the OMC searches the current AP area according to p1(Lo1, La1), and determines whether the current AP area belongs to the original AP area. Wireless parameter" message, after the AP receives the message, the process ends; if not, the OMC obtains the AP wireless parameter information corresponding to the current AP area, and sends the AP wireless parameter information to the AP; the AP receives the wireless parameter information After information, update the AP wireless parameters.

As shown in Figure 4, the specific process is as follows:

401. The AP detects the latitude and longitude information p1 (Lo1, La1) of the current location of the AP;

402. The AP compares p1 (Lo1, La1) with the original latitude and longitude information p0 (Lo0, La0), and if ‖p1-p0‖≤D, it is determined that the location of the AP has not changed, and the process ends;

If ‖p1-p0‖>D, it means that the position of the AP has changed, and the change exceeds the threshold D, and it is determined that the position of the AP has changed;

403. The AP sends the latitude and longitude information p1 (Lo1, La1) of the current location to the ACS;

404. The ACS searches for the current AP area according to the latitude and longitude information p1 (Lo1, La1) of the current location;

405. The ACS judges whether the current AP area is consistent with the original AP area;

406. If consistent, send "do not update AP parameters" to the AP, and the process ends;

407. If inconsistent, the ACS obtains the local network element address configuration information of the AP corresponding to the current AP area;

408. The ACS sends the local network element address configuration information to the AP;

409. The ACS sends the latitude and longitude information p1 (Lo1, La1) of the current location to the OMC;

410. The OMC searches for the current AP area according to the latitude and longitude information p1 (Lo1, La1) of the current location;

411. The OMC judges whether the current AP area is consistent with the original AP area;

412. If they are consistent, the process ends or after sending "do not update AP wireless parameters" to the AP, the process ends;

413. If inconsistent, the OMC acquires the wireless parameter information of the AP corresponding to the current AP area;

414. The OMC sends the wireless parameter information to the AP.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment, the description is made on the network side as the ACS and OMC, when the changed parameters caused by the location update (roaming) of the access device are configured and updated by other devices similar to the ACS or OMC, The network side should be other devices similar to the ACS or OMC.

Embodiment five,

According to the method described in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 3, specifically, when the AP integrates the downlink receiver function, according to the system configuration, for example, when the AP starts up or when the AP receives a parameter reconfiguration instruction or periodically, the AP passes The downlink receiver detects the current air interface information, such as LAI (Location AreaIdentify, location code), CellID (Cell Identify, cell identification), etc., and the AP determines the current air interface location according to the current air interface information, and sends the current air interface location information to On the network side, the network side searches the current AP area according to the current air interface location information, and determines whether it is consistent with the original AP area. After the prompt message is sent to the AP, the process ends; otherwise, if they are inconsistent, send the AP parameters corresponding to the current AP area to the AP. The original AP area mentioned here refers to the AP area corresponding to the air interface position where the AP was located when the AP configuration parameters were updated last time.

Of course, in order to reduce the frequency of judging the location change of the AP on the network side and reduce the signaling traffic between the network side and the AP, the AP can first judge whether the location of the AP has changed, and only send the AP current status when the AP determines that its location has changed. air interface location information to the network side. The location change judgment method can be:

1. The AP determines the macro network area corresponding to the current location of the AP according to the current air interface information. When the macro cell information with the strongest signal in the macro network area does not belong to the macro network area corresponding to the original location of the AP, send The current air interface location information of the AP is sent to the network side.

or

2. The AP determines the macro network area corresponding to the current location of the AP according to the current air interface information. When any macro cell information in the macro network area does not belong to the macro network area corresponding to the original location of the AP, the air interface location information to the network side.

According to the above two methods, it can be as follows:

method one:

The area information is identified by the cell ID of the macro network. If the AP detects at most n macro cell information each time it is started. The macro network Cell ID corresponding to the initial position of the AP is C0 (C0_1, C0_2, ..., C0_n); the macro network Cell ID corresponding to the current position of the AP is C1 (C1_1, C1_2, ..., C1_n), where the signal The strongest macro cell is C1_x; if C1_x∈C0, it means that the AP position has not changed; otherwise, it means that the AP position has changed.

Method Two:

The area information is identified by the cell ID of the macro network. If the AP detects at most n macro cell information each time it is started. The macro network Cell ID corresponding to the initial position of the AP is C0 (C0_1, C0_2, ..., C0_n); the macro network Cell_ID corresponding to the current position of the AP is C1 (C1_1, C1_2, ..., C1_n), any of which The macro cell is denoted as C1_i; if C1_i∈C0, it means that the position of the AP has not changed; otherwise, it means that the position of the AP has changed.

Method three:

The area information is identified by the macro network LAI. If the AP detects at most n macro cell information each time it is started. Among them, the macro network LAI corresponding to the initial position of the AP is C0 (C0_1, C0_2..., C0_m), m<=n; the macro network LAI corresponding to the current position of the AP is C1 (C1_1, C1_2,... , C1_k, k<=n; where the cell with the strongest signal is the corresponding LAI is C1_x; if C1_x∈C0, it means that the AP position has not changed; otherwise, it means that the AP position has changed.

Method four:

The area information is identified by the macro network LAI. If the AP detects at most n macro cell information each time it is started. The macro network LAI corresponding to the initial position of the AP is C0 (C0_1, C0_2, ..., C0_m), m<=n; the macro network LAI corresponding to the current position of the AP is C1 (C1_1, C1_2, ..., C1_k) , k<=n, where the cell is denoted as C1_i; if C1_i∈C0, it means that the AP position has not changed; otherwise, it means that the AP position has changed.

When in use, use any one of the above four methods or a combination of them according to the operator's strategy to determine whether the location of the AP has changed.

In the following, we will describe in detail the configuration method of the above-mentioned AP parameters in combination with an example, where the network side includes ACS and OMC, the area information is identified by the cell ID of the macro network, and the macro with the strongest signal in the macro network area Whether the cell belongs to the macro network area corresponding to the original location of the AP is used as a criterion for judging whether the location of the AP changes.

The AP integrates the function of the downlink receiver. The network side includes ACS and OMC. Among them, the ACS is used to record and judge whether the location of the AP has changed, and realize the automatic configuration of the address of the central office network element related to the AP; the OMC is used to record and judge the location of the AP. Whether there is a change, realize the automatic configuration of AP-related wireless parameters.

The area information is identified by the macro network Cell ID, and the operator sets that when a macro cell with the strongest signal in the macro network area does not belong to the macro network area corresponding to the original location of the AP, the current air interface location information of the AP is sent to ACS,

The corresponding relationship between ACS record area information and AP-related network element parameters, see the following table for details:

area Parameters of AP-related local network elements Area 1 (such as Cell ID1 or NE11 IP address, NE12 IP address, ...NE1m

LAI1) IP address Area 2 (such as Cell ID2 or LAI 2) NE21IP address，NE22IP address，...NE2mIP address ... ... Area n (such as Cell IDn or LAI n) NEn1 IP address, NEn2 IP address, ...NEnmIP address

The corresponding relationship between OMC record area information and AP-related wireless parameters, see the following table for details:

area AP related wireless parameters Area 1 (such as Cell ID1 or LAI1) RNC-ID-1, Cell-ID-1, Scramble Code-1, Frequency-1,... Area 2 (such as Cell ID2 or LAI 2) RNC-ID-2, Cell-ID-2, Scramble Code-2, Frequency-2,... ... ... Area n (such as Cell IDn or LAI n) RNC-ID-n, Cell-ID-n, Scramble Code-n, Frequency-n,...

According to the system configuration, for example, when the AP starts up or when the AP receives a parameter reconfiguration command or periodically, the air interface information of the current location of the AP is detected by the downlink receiver, and the macro network corresponding to the current location of the AP is determined according to the air interface information The Cell ID is C1 (C1_1, C1_2, ..., C1_n), and the AP determines whether the macro cell information C1_x with the strongest signal in C1 belongs to the macro network area corresponding to the initial location of the AP. Among them, the macro network area corresponding to the initial location of the AP The network Cell ID is C0 (C0_1, C0_2, ..., C0_n), if C1_x∈C0, it means that the AP position has not changed; otherwise, it means that the AP position has changed, and the current air interface position information of the AP is sent to the ACS.

After receiving the current air interface location information of the AP, the ACS searches for the current AP area according to the current air interface location information of the AP, and determines whether the current AP area belongs to the original AP area. If so, the process ends, or the ACS sends the " Do not update AP parameters" message, after the AP receives the message, the process ends; if not, the ACS obtains the configuration information of the local network element address of the AP corresponding to the current AP area, and sends the local network element address The configuration information is sent to the AP; after receiving the address configuration information of the central office network element, the AP updates the configuration of the central office network element address of the AP.

The ACS sends the current air interface location information of the AP to the OMC.

After receiving the current air interface location information of the AP, the OMC searches for the current AP area according to the current air interface location information of the AP, and determines whether the current AP area belongs to the original AP area. If so, the process ends, or the OMC sends the " Do not update AP wireless parameters" message, after the AP receives the message, the process ends; if not, the OMC obtains the wireless parameter information of the AP corresponding to the current AP area, and sends the wireless parameter information to the AP; After receiving the wireless parameter information, update the AP wireless parameters.

Referring to Figure 5, the specific process is as follows:

501. The AP detects the current air interface information through the downlink receiver, and determines the macro network area corresponding to the current location of the AP according to the current air interface information;

502. The AP detects that the macro network Cell ID corresponding to the current location of the AP is C1 (C1_1, C1_2, ..., C1_n), and the AP determines whether the macro cell information C1_x with the strongest signal in C1 belongs to the cell corresponding to the original location of the AP. In the macro network area where the macro network Cell ID is C0 (C0_1, C0_2, ..., C0_n), if C1_x∈C0, it means that the AP position has not changed, and the process ends; otherwise, it means that the AP position has changed.

503. The AP sends the current air interface location information to the ACS;

504. The ACS searches for the current AP area according to the current air interface location information;

505. The ACS judges whether the current AP area is consistent with the original AP area;
