Description

A logical object deployment method, related device and system

technical field

The present invention relates to the field of resource allocation, in particular to a logic object deployment method, a related device and a system.

Background technique

With the generalization and cloudification of hardware, operators require further sharing of network equipment/network infrastructure, which includes various standards such as GSM (Global System of Mobile communication, Global System for Mobile Communications), LTE (Long Term Evolution, long-term evolution) and other logical objects, and also includes physical resource sharing between logical objects of various network elements (controllers/base stations, etc.). Further sharing also includes the sharing of various services among operators, so that the same hardware device can provide different services in different situations. Physical resource sharing improves physical resource utilization and network reliability/flexibility.

The hardware/single board of the current product is generally dedicated, and the software and hardware are delivered at the same time. The software that the physical device can run and the business/service it can provide have been determined during product design and development, that is, the logical objects that the physical device can carry. It is fixed, and the configuration and maintenance scheme usually implies the deployment/binding relationship of this software/service and hardware device. At the same time, since the hardware/single board and the logical functions carried by it are fixed, the current configuration/maintenance solution does not and cannot strictly distinguish the physical device and the logical functions/services carried by it. Therefore, the current solution of deploying logical objects to physical objects cannot effectively support the trend and requirement of generalization of hardware and sharing of physical resources.

detailed description

The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a logical object deployment method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The logical object in the embodiment of the present invention includes a combination of logic functions to realize certain services/services, and the physical object includes various hardware units that can provide hardware resources, such as various modules and single boards. Logical objects and physical objects are created separately, and when a certain logical object needs to be deployed, the method implemented in the present invention is used to complete the deployment. Specifically, the method in the embodiment of the present invention specifically includes:

S101: The logical resource manager allocates logical resources for configured logical objects; for example, logical resources such as logical IDs, serving cell code resources, frequency points, scrambling codes, and power are allocated.

S102: Send a physical resource request to the device resource manager, where the physical resource request carries physical resource requirement information describing the physical resource requirement during deployment and/or runtime of the logical object.

S103: Receive a physical resource allocation response returned by the device resource manager according to the physical resource request, where the physical resource allocation response carries a physical object description for describing the configured physical object allocated according to the physical resource requirement information information.

S104: Deploy the logical object into the physical object described by the physical object description information.

The logical object can be created in advance, and the corresponding logical information and data are stored in the storage medium, and when the logical object needs to be deployed, the logical information and data corresponding to the logical object are extracted from the storage medium to execute the S101; or It is created before the execution of the S101, and the S101 is executed when the creation is completed.

When a logical object is created and published, a resource requirement file can be used to describe the required physical resources, such as the type, specification, and constraints of the physical resources required for the deployment of the logical object. It is not necessary to specify The physical device on which it is deployed. For example, when the configured logical object is the baseband processing BbProcess of the cell, it is not necessary to specify the deployed baseband single board for the baseband processing BbProcess of the cell, only the configured logical object is the cell in S101 The baseband processing BbProcess of the cell allocates logical resources such as logical IDs, and requests physical resources required for its deployment and/or runtime in S102 according to its corresponding resource requirements.

After the logical resource is allocated to the logical object, it is requested to allocate physical resources to the logical object, so as to bear the logical object and implement corresponding services and services. The physical object can also publish a resource description file after the creation is completed to describe information such as its own identity, resource type, specification, and constraint conditions, so that the device resource manager can allocate corresponding resources according to the physical resource requirements of the logical object. hardware unit. A physical object includes at least one hardware unit, which is the smallest unit providing hardware resources, such as various functional modules or single boards. When creating a physical object, you only need to specify the parameters related to the operation of the physical object, and do not need to specify the services to be carried by the physical object. For example, when creating a physical object of a single board on a cabinet or chassis, you only need to specify the The working mode of the single board is backup, load sharing, or energy-saving mode, etc., and it is not necessary to specify services such as baseband processing to be carried by the single board.

The deployment of logical objects to the physical objects described in the physical object description information can be implemented in the manner of automatic deployment and manual deployment. Specifically, it can be implemented in the corresponding OSS (Operation support system , Operation Support System) interface, type "Set AutoDeploymentMode" to set "AutoDeployment Mode" to enable or disable the automatic deployment of logical objects and physical objects, and set AutoDeploymentMode=ON after the automatic deployment mode is set. It can be achieved by manual installation and deployment.

The above-mentioned resource requirement file and resource description file can be designed based on the same resource object model, and the design of the resource requirement file and resource description file based on the same resource object model includes providing resource type ProvidedResourceType, required resource type RequiredResourceType and The resource unit is used to design the resource requirement file and the resource description file. Taking a wireless system as an example, the resource requirement file and the resource description file need to be designed and implemented based on the same baseband processing resource (BbResource), radio frequency carrier resource (RfResource), signaling processing resource (SigResource), and transmission resource (TrpResource).

In addition, it should be noted that after the logical resource manager deploys a logical object on the physical object provided by the device resource manager. When another logical object needs to be deployed next time, the device resource manager may still provide the same physical object according to the physical resource requirement information of the other logical object, that is, there may be different logical objects deployed on the same physical object .

In the embodiment of the present invention, when deploying a logical object, it is only necessary to obtain the corresponding physical object according to the resource requirement information of the logical object, so as to deploy the logical object into the physical object, and it is not necessary to designate the bearer of the logical object when the logical object is created. The specific physical device of the logical object realizes the decoupling of configuration logic business and physical device configuration, which is conducive to the realization of generalization, platformization and sharing of hardware, and can effectively improve network reliability and physical resource utilization.

Please refer to FIG. 2 again, which is a schematic diagram of another logical object deployment method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method of this embodiment includes:

S201: The logical resource manager configures to obtain a logical object, and the device resource manager configures to obtain a physical object.

Among them, the scenarios where the logical resource manager is configured to obtain logical objects include:

According to the results of network planning and/or network optimization, adjust the network parameters of existing logical objects to obtain logical objects; or recreate or restore logical objects based on failed physical objects; or obtain logical objects according to system load conditions and/or physical resources State, create a logical object. New logic can be obtained according to the way of newly creating logical objects, modifying or restoring existing logical objects.

For example, the baseband processing BbProcess1 (logical object) of a UMTS cell is carried on the baseband board BbBoard1. When the baseband board BbBoard1 fails, the baseband processing BbProcess1 can be used as a new logical object to facilitate the following steps Redeploy the physical object for the baseband processing BbProcess1, for example, redeploy the baseband processing BbProcess1 to the baseband single board BbBoard2.

The steps that the device resource manager configures to get the physical object include:

The device resource manager creates a physical object according to the capability information of the hardware unit actively reported by at least one hardware unit after deployment; or the device resource manager sends a hardware capability report request to the deployed at least one hardware unit, and according to The received at least one hardware unit creates a physical object according to the hardware capability information reported by the request to report hardware device information.

For example, after a single board is created on a cabinet or frame, the single board actively sends its identification and capability information to the device resource manager, and the device resource manager stores the corresponding identification and capability information based on the identification and capability information. , to complete the creation of the physical object of the board.

The configuration and creation of the logical object and the configuration and creation of the physical object are carried out separately, and there is no sequence relationship between the two, as long as the creation has been completed before performing the following S202.

The following steps of S202-S205 implement the process of associating a configured logical object with a corresponding physical object, deploying the logical object into the physical object, and carrying the logical object in the physical object to realize the logical object corresponding business and service.

S202: The logical resource manager allocates logical resources for the configured logical objects. That is, logical resources are allocated for the logical objects created in S201. Such as allocating logical resources such as logical ID, serving cell code resource, frequency point, scrambling code, and power.

S203: Send a physical resource request to the device resource manager, where the physical resource request carries physical resource requirement information describing the physical resource requirement during deployment and/or runtime of the logical object.

S204: Receive a physical resource allocation response returned by the device resource manager according to the physical resource request, where the physical resource allocation response carries a physical object description for describing the configured physical object allocated according to the physical resource requirement information information.

S205: Deploy the logical object into the physical object described by the physical object description information.

The process of deploying the logical object to the physical object from S202 to S205 is the same as that in the first embodiment above.

Further, the physical resource requirement information describing the physical resource requirements of the logical object deployment and/or runtime is included in the resource requirement file; the physical object description information describing the configured physical object is included in the resource description file ; The resource requirement file and the resource description file can be designed based on the same resource object model, and the design of the resource requirement file and the resource description file based on the same resource object model includes providing the resource type ProvidedResourceType and the required resource type based on the same RequiredResourceType and resource unit to design the resource requirement file and the resource description file. Taking a wireless system as an example, the resource requirement file and the resource description file need to be designed and implemented based on the same baseband processing resource (BbResource), radio frequency carrier resource (RfResource), signaling processing resource (SigResource), and transmission resource (TrpResource).

In addition, it should be noted that after the logical resource manager deploys a logical object on the physical object provided by the device resource manager. When another logical object needs to be deployed next time, the device resource manager may still provide the same physical object according to the physical resource requirement information of the other logical object, that is, there may be different logical objects deployed on the same physical object .

The logical object and the physical object in the embodiment of the present invention are created independently. When deploying the logical object, the corresponding physical object is obtained according to the resource requirement information of the logical object, so as to deploy the logical object into the physical object. Specify the specific physical device that carries the logical object when creating the logical object, which realizes the decoupling of configuration logic services and physical devices, which is conducive to the realization of generalization, platformization and sharing of hardware, and can effectively improve network reliability and Physical resource utilization.

Further, please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a schematic diagram of another logical object deployment method provided by the embodiment of the present invention; the logical object in the embodiment of the present invention includes a combination of logic functions to realize certain business/services, and the physical object is It consists of various hardware units that can provide hardware resources, such as various modules and single boards. Logical objects and physical objects are created separately, and when a logical object needs to be deployed, the method implemented in the present invention is used to complete the deployment. Specifically, the method in the embodiment of the present invention specifically includes:

S301: The logical resource manager allocates logical resources for the configured logical objects. For example, logical resources such as logical ID, serving cell code resource, frequency point, scrambling code, and power are allocated.

After the logical object is created in advance, store the corresponding logical information and data in the storage medium, and when the logical object needs to be deployed, extract the logical information and data corresponding to the logical object from the storage medium to execute S301; or It is created before S301 is executed, and S301 is executed when the creation is completed.

When a logical object is created and published, a resource requirement file can be used to describe the required physical resources, such as the type, specification, and constraints of the physical resources required for the deployment of the logical object. It is not necessary to specify The physical device on which it is deployed. For example, when the configured logical object is the baseband processing BbProcess of the cell, it is not necessary to designate the deployed baseband single board for the baseband processing BbProcess of the cell, only the configured logical object is the cell in S301 The baseband processing BbProcess of the cell allocates logical resources such as logical IDs, and requests physical resources required for its deployment and/or runtime in the following S302 according to its corresponding resource requirements.

S302: The logical resource manager sends a physical resource request to the device resource manager, where the physical resource request carries physical resource requirement information describing the physical resource requirement during deployment and/or runtime of the logical object.

S303: The logical resource manager receives the physical resource allocation response returned by the device resource manager according to the physical resource request, and the physical resource allocation response carries a configured physical object used to describe allocation according to the physical resource requirement information Physical object description information.

That is, to request the physical resources required to deploy and/or run the logical object, the device resource manager determines one or more physical objects to carry the logical object according to its configured physical objects and their corresponding capabilities , the device resource manager returns a physical resource allocation response to the logical resource manager according to the determined identifiers, hardware capabilities, and other information of one or more physical objects.

After the logical resource is allocated to the logical object, it is requested to allocate physical resources to the logical object, so as to bear the logical object and implement corresponding services and services. The physical object can also publish a resource description file after the creation is completed to describe information such as its own identity, resource type, specification, and constraint conditions, so that the device resource manager can allocate corresponding resources according to the physical resource requirements of the logical object. hardware unit. A physical object includes at least one hardware unit, which is the smallest unit providing hardware resources, such as various functional modules or single boards. When creating a physical object, you only need to specify the parameters related to the operation of the physical object, and do not need to specify the services to be carried by the physical object. For example, when creating a physical object of a single board on a cabinet or chassis, you only need to specify The working mode of the single board is the backup, load sharing, or energy-saving mode, and it is not necessary to specify services such as baseband processing to be carried by the single board.

S304: The software manager loads the software for running the logical object into the physical object described by the physical object description information.

For some logical objects, their operation is based on a certain combination of operating system software and hardware. Therefore, when deploying such a logical object, corresponding software for running the logical object needs to be loaded into the selected physical object.

S305: The logical resource manager deploys the logical object to the physical object described in the physical object description information that has been deployed to run the software for the logical object.

The deployment of the logical object to the physical object described in the physical object description information can be implemented by automatic deployment or manual deployment. Specifically, it can be implemented by typing "Set "AutoDeploymentMode" sets "automatic deployment mode" to enable or disable the automatic deployment of logical objects and physical objects. After setting the automatic deployment mode, AutoDeploymentMode=ON can be implemented in S305 without manual installation and deployment by the user.

The above resource requirement file and resource description file can be designed based on the same resource object model, and the design of the resource requirement file and resource description file based on the same resource object model includes providing resource type ProvidedResourceType, required resource type RequiredResourceType and The resource unit is used to design the resource requirement file and the resource description file. Taking a wireless system as an example, the resource requirement file and the resource description file need to be designed and implemented based on the same baseband processing resource (BbResource), radio frequency carrier resource (RfResource), signaling processing resource (SigResource), and transmission resource (TrpResource).

Specifically, please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a schematic diagram of a method for loading software for running the logical object into the physical object according to an embodiment of the present invention; steps for the software manager to load the software for running the logical object Specifically can include:

S401: The software manager acquires resource requirement information of physical resources required for loading the software.

Similarly, after the software is completed, it will publish the required physical resource requirement information through the resource requirement file, such as the type, specification, and constraint conditions of the physical resource. When the software manager loads the corresponding software, the resource requirement information of the physical resources of the software can be obtained according to the resource requirement file.

S402: The software manager sends a resource request to the device resource manager to request the physical resources required by the resource requirement information.

The device resource manager allocates a physical object for the software to carry the software according to the physical resources required by the resource requirement information, and returns a corresponding resource allocation response including physical exclusive information to the software manager.

S403: The software manager receives a resource allocation response including physical object information returned by the device resource manager.

S404: The software manager generates a software loading policy according to the physical object information, and loads the software for running the logical object into the physical object corresponding to the physical object information according to the software loading policy.

The software loading strategy generated in S404 mainly refers to: the sequence of loading/running of different software, and the serial/parallel loading relationship between different physical entities/different software, such as: between two CPUs A parallel loading strategy can be adopted between them.

In addition, it should be noted that after the logical resource manager deploys a logical object on the physical object provided by the device resource manager.
