[ background of the invention ]

MulteFire is a new technology based on LTE implementation. It can operate independently in unlicensed spectrum and does not require an "anchor" in the licensed spectrum. The new technology can extend the LTE ecosystem to organizations without authorized spectrum, such as Internet service providers and enterprises, venue owners and the like, and improves the adaptability of the LTE technology. The technology defines a novel Network access mode (NHN), and based on the NHN Network structure, the MulteFire Network can support multiple service providers to provide their services for users by sharing the MF Network.

[ detailed description ] embodiments

For better understanding of the technical solutions of the present invention, the following detailed descriptions of the embodiments of the present invention are provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The terminology used in the embodiments of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

It should be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein is merely one type of association that describes an associated object, meaning that three relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the former and latter related objects are in an "or" relationship.

It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe XXX in embodiments of the present invention, these XXX should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish XXX from each other. For example, a first XXX may also be referred to as a second XXX, and similarly, a second XXX may also be referred to as a first XXX, without departing from the scope of embodiments of the present invention.

The method for providing information configuration in the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the network structure shown in fig. 1, in which a neutral host network device, a service-side device and a first configuration server exist in the network structure, the service-side device is mainly used for implementing various services provided for users, the neutral host network device is mainly used for providing network bearers for the service-side device, and the first configuration server is used for centrally managing the configuration functions of the neutral host network device and the service-side device.

It should be noted here that the first configuration server may exist as an independent functional entity, that is, the configuration functions of the central management neutral host network device and the service-side device are both implemented by a single functional entity, or in the process of implementing the first configuration server function, the configuration functions of the central management neutral host network device and the central management service-side device are implemented independently on two functional entities, and the two independent functional entities may be configured independently on a new functional entity, or may be integrated in the existing network device of the neutral host network or the service side. For example, the central management of device configuration functions within the neutral host network may be integrated with one device within the neutral host network, e.g. a second configuration server as will be mentioned below; the configuration function of the centralized management service-side device may be integrated into the service-side device, for example, a service server as will be mentioned below. If the two separately and independently implemented functions are integrated in the existing network device, it is necessary to ensure that normal communication can be performed between the two network devices configured with the corresponding functions.

The devices in the neutral host network generally include a second configuration server (e.g., OAM (Operation, Maintenance and management) functional entity or SON (Self-organizing network) functional entity) in the management layer device and network layer devices including MME (Mobile management entity), local AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) agent, communication gateway, etc., and the service-side device generally includes a service server (e.g., PSP server), a service AAA server, etc., and the configuration server may be implemented by a SON functional entity or other functional entities with Self-configuration function in the embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the information configuration method provided by the embodiment of the present invention will be described in a scenario where the first configuration server is implemented independently and integrates configuration functions of devices in the central management neutral host network and the service-side device. For the independent implementation of the two configuration functions mentioned in the foregoing, those skilled in the art can determine the method by themselves without inventive labor through the following description, and the embodiments of the present invention will not be described in detail.

The information configuration method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to a first configuration server, and relates to a process of configuring service-side configuration information to a neutral host network device, and a flow of the information configuration method is shown in fig. 2, and includes:

101. and acquiring service configuration information from the service server.

The service configuration information at least includes an addition, modification and deletion instruction of the service type supported by the neutral host network, an initial configuration and update instruction of the service-related parameters, an identifier and a domain name corresponding to each service, address information and link information of each service AAA server, and one or more information combinations in communication security parameters.

The address information and link information of each service AAA server include an IP address, a DNS, and link information of the service AAA server.

The communication security parameters include: root CA between local AAA proxy and service AAA server, and special CA between service side device and device in the neutral host network.

The service configuration information, as will be referred to hereinafter, is referred to in the description herein for explanation.

102. And sending the service configuration information to a second configuration server in the neutral host network, so that the second configuration server distributes the service configuration information to other devices in the neutral host network.

In the information configuration method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first configuration server centrally manages the configuration function of the devices in the neutral host network, so that after acquiring the configuration information related to the service from the service server, the first configuration server can directly distribute the service configuration information to each device in the neutral host network, and each device in the neutral host network can be configured by itself according to the received configuration information. Compared with the prior art that the configuration information needs to be manually imported into each device, the embodiment of the invention realizes an automatic configuration process only by the first configuration server, effectively reduces the labor cost in the configuration process, and reduces the network operation and maintenance cost to a certain extent.

With reference to the foregoing method flows, for the implementation of step 101, the following two possible implementation manners are provided in the embodiment of the present invention, one is a first configuration server trigger flow, and the other is a second configuration server trigger flow.

The first implementation mode comprises the following steps: the first configuration server triggers a process, and a related process is shown in fig. 3, which specifically includes the following steps:

1011. and actively sending the service configuration information to a second configuration server in the neutral host network.

1012. And after receiving the service configuration information, returning a receiving confirmation message.

The second implementation mode comprises the following steps: the second configuration server triggers a flow, and a related flow is shown in fig. 4, which specifically includes the following steps:

1013. and receiving a service configuration information acquisition request sent by the second configuration server.

1014. And responding to the service configuration information acquisition request, carrying the service configuration information in a response message corresponding to the service configuration information acquisition request, and sending the response message to a second configuration server in the neutral host network.

The above two implementation manners may select one or both of them to be parallel according to actual situations, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this.

Further, in this embodiment and subsequent embodiments of the present invention, the first configuration server may be implemented as an SON function entity outside the neutral host network, the second configuration server may be implemented as an SON function entity inside the neutral host network, and the service server may be implemented as a PSP server; alternatively, the first configuration server may be implemented as an SON function entity, the second configuration server may be implemented as an OAM function entity, and the service server may be implemented as a PSP server. It should be noted that the functions of the above functional entities and servers may be integrated on an existing functional entity or server, or a new functional entity or server may be independently configured to implement the functions. For example, the SON function entity outside the neutral host network does not have the function entity in the existing network structure except the network structure provided in the embodiment of the present invention, so that a corresponding function entity needs to be created according to the functions and specific method flows provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and the SON function entity may exist in the existing network structure inside the neutral host network, so that the functions implemented by the second configuration server and the executed method flows in the embodiment of the present invention may be integrated on the existing SON function entity to reduce the network operation and maintenance cost, and certainly, the SON function entity may be independently configured to improve the flexibility of network control.

It should be noted that, although some of the functions and method flows provided by the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in an existing functional entity, the embodiments of the present invention are not intended to represent that the existing functional entity has implemented the information configuration flow provided by the embodiments of the present invention.

In addition, in a network scenario of non-centralized management, in the information configuration process according to the embodiment of the present invention, the function of the second configuration server may be omitted, that is, the first configuration server may directly communicate with each device inside the neutral host network to complete the subsequent configuration process.

Applicable to the second configuration server, another embodiment of the present invention provides an information configuration method, which also relates to a process of configuring the service-side configuration information to the neutral host network device, and the flow of the method is shown in fig. 5, and includes:

201. service configuration information is obtained from a first configuration server external to the neutral host network.

The service configuration information in the first configuration server is generally obtained from the service server side by the first configuration server, and can also be manually configured into the first configuration server.

It should be noted that, when the second configuration server has a problem in communication with the first configuration server, or when the first configuration server is not configured outside the neutral host network device, the service configuration information may be directly manually configured in the second configuration server.

202. And distributing the service configuration information to other devices in the neutral host network.
