Base station communication method and base station

Abstract

The invention provides a base station communication method and a base station. The method comprises the following steps: switching to another available base station controller when normal communication with a current base station controller cannot be carried out; and uploading base station configuration data to the available base station controller to carry out communication with the available base station controller. The method and the base station of the embodiment of the invention store all base station configuration data required by the base station controller though the base station; and therefore, when the normal communication cannot be carried out between the base station and the current base station controller, the base station can be connected with a new available base station controller to form a base station subsystem and communicate with the available base station controller through switching to the new available base station controller and uploading the base station configuration data, thereby preventing the base station controller from carrying out static configuration on the base station configuration data of the base stations under other backup base station controllers, saving network equipment resources and reducing configuration maintenance difficulty and network equipment investment.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of mobile communications, and in particular, to a base station communication method and a base station. Background technique [0002] The base station subsystem in the communication system is controlled by the mobile switching center (MSC) in a certain wireless coverage area and communicates with the terminal system equipment. It is mainly responsible for wireless transmission and reception and wireless resource management. Function. Functional entities can be divided into base stations and base station controllers. The base station controller has the function of controlling one or more base stations. It is mainly responsible for the management of wireless network resources, cell configuration data management, power control, positioning and switching. In order to avoid the occurrence of normal communication between the base station and the currently serving base station controller when...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. In addition to configuring the base station configuration data of the base stations under each base station controller that is in a backup relationship, it also needs to configure the base station configuration data of the base stations under other backup base station controllers, which leads to a large amount of memory space in the base station controller. occupancy, and an increase in the difficulty of configuration maintenance;

[0005] 2. Each base station controller that is in a backup relationship needs to reserve the ability to serve base stations under other backup base station controllers, which leads to an increase in investment in network equipment;

[0006] 3. Only base station controllers between two base stations can back up and protect each other, but it is impossible to backup and protect base station controllers between any two base stations.
