LTE (Long Term Evolution) network equipment

Abstract

The invention provides LTE (Long Term Evolution) network equipment, which comprises a software platform, a transmission unit and a service processing unit, wherein the software platform is used for providing software support for the service processing unit on a hardware platform, driving and configuring the hardware platform and the service processing unit, and adapting hardware to the service processing unit according to the hardware platform; the transmission unit is used for providing transmission interfaces for the service processing unit of the LTE network equipment and other equipment on the software platform; and the service processing unit is used for realizing an access layer processing function and / or non-access layer processing function on the software platform. By adopting the LTE network equipment provided by the invention, costs of an LTE system can be saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to mobile communication technology, in particular to a long term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE for short) network equipment. Background technique [0002] In a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP for short) fourth generation mobile communication technology (4th Generation, 4G for short) LTE system, the network side includes multiple network element devices. figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a network architecture of an existing LTE system. Such as figure 1 As shown, the network side of the existing LTE system includes access layer network element devices and non-access layer network element devices. see figure 1 , wherein the network element equipment at the access layer mainly includes: an evolved base station (E-UTRANNode B, referred to as eNB), which is used to complete the physical layer of the LTE wireless side (that is, layer 1, referred to as L1), Media Access Co...

Problems solved by technology

In the above-mentioned small and medium-scale network application environment, using the above-mentioned existing 3GPP LTE network architecture, due to the large number of network element devices, for example, only non-access layer devices need to deploy MME, HSS, S-GW, P-GW, etc. A series of network element devices, for small and medium-scale network application environments, the cost of the solution is too high, the deployment, installation, startup, parameter configuration and other operations of many network element devices are more complicated, resulting in the overall maintenance cost of the network High, and there are many signaling exchanges between many network element devices, resulting in a large service signaling delay
