Base station remote radio unit (RRU) system updating method and device thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a base station remote radio unit (RRU) system updating method and a device thereof. The method comprises the following steps that: according to a base station designated by a base station RRU updating command, network management equipment acquires the version information of an RRU to be accessed to the base station from a corresponding base station; according to the version information of an updating file for an RRU designated by the command and the version information of the RRU to be accessed to the base station which is acquired from the corresponding base station, the network management equipment determines the RRU which requires system updating; and after the network management equipment determines the RRU which requires updating, the network management equipment instructs the base station to download the updating file for the determined RRU which requires system updating and thereby the base station can transmit the updating file for the RRU to the corresponding RRU for system updating. By adopting the method and the device thereof disclosed by the invention, the base station RRU system updating efficiency and the system updating operation accuracy can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, in particular to a method and device for updating a radio frequency unit system of a base station. Background technique [0002] With the standardization of the interface (IR interface) between Node B (that is, base station) and RRU (base station radio frequency unit), it is possible to connect RRUs of different manufacturers, different models of the same manufacturer, and different hardware versions of the same model on the same Node B It becomes inevitable, which greatly enhances the flexibility and convenience of RRU accessing Node B. Due to the diversity of the RRU, the upgrade and maintenance of its software or / and firmware (hereinafter referred to as software / firmware) has become a complicated issue. [0003] Before the IR interface was standardized, that is, when the IR interface was not standardized, the interface between Node B and RRU was connected in a way cust...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] After the standardization of the IR interface, the RRUs under the same Node B are likely to be products of several manufacturers. It will be very time-consuming to collect the RRU software / firmware of all models and models of all manufacturers into one package according to the current method. and cumbersome process

If the maintenance personnel select the RRU versions corresponding to the manufacturer, model, and hardware version to upgrade one by one, the workload will increase several times and error-prone

[0005] It can be seen that after the standardization of the IR interface, there is currently no efficient and convenient software / firmware upgrade solution for the mixed connection of RRU products from various product manufacturers.
