Method and device for managing Femtocell

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for managing an Femtocell. The method comprises the following steps: judging the type of a received message, and sending the message to a corresponding module; de-encapsulating and filtering the received RUA message; judging whether the RUA message belongs to the information needed by webmaster statistics according to the type of the RANAP message; if yes, copying and bypassing the RUA message; if not, directly bypassing the RUA message; classifying the contents of the RANAP message, carrying out statistics by utilizing the classified contents of the message; obtaining statistics data according to the contents of a received HNBAP message; comparing a statistics result with a predicted value to obtain a difference, and carrying out judging and reporting; reporting in an alarming manner if the difference is larger than a preset threshold value; and reporting in a common data reporting manner if the difference is no larger than the preset threshold value. In the invention, a real-time monitoring device is arranged at the gateway of the Femtocell, carries out real-time filtration and statistic analysis on the received RUA and HNBAP messages, thereby realizing the indirect management of the Femtocell, reducing the maintenance expenditure and the load pressure of management channels, supporting the comparative analysis of various access network performance data, and improving the network management quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of network management, in particular to a method and device for managing home base stations. Background technique [0002] HNB (Home Node B, home base station) is a new type of small, low-power base station, which is mainly deployed in indoor environments such as homes or offices, and realizes the mode for users to access the mobile core network through the IP broadband network. HNB GW (Home Node B Gateway, home base station gateway) is a gateway device that supports the deployment of the home base station access network. It provides registration and access control for the home base station through the Iuh interface, and carries the original signaling and connection of the 3G UTRAN system. At the same time, the HNB GW is also responsible for converging and distributing signaling and data between the HNB and CN (Core Net, core network). Since the HNB integrates the main functions of the Node B and the RNC (Rad...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] The above technical solution has the following advantages: the present invention considers that due to the characteristics of a large number of HNBs and discontinuous connections with the HMS, it is easy to cause problems such as connection load and data summary complexity, etc., by setting a message monitoring module on the HNB GW, HNBAP and RUA messages are further monitored, filtered, and counted to realize real-time monitoring of the current operating status of the home base station; there is no need to issue special collection control commands, and the framework implementation provides a device for decapsulating RUA messages, which can be based on The network management collects the required message types, filters and statistically analyzes RANAP messages, and conducts comprehensive correlation analysis combined with HNBAP messages. network management quality; from the perspective of network management, filter the incoming and outgoing data, extract the message content that needs to be counted on the basis of decapsulation, and conduct comprehensive statistical analysis, so as to monitor the network status on the home base station side in real time, reducing Due to the management channel maintenance overhead and load pressure caused by the establishment of a management channel between HMS and each HNB, it also supports the comparative analysis of various access network performance data, improving the quality of network management
