Method and system for maintaining network element

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a system for maintaining a network element. The method comprises the steps that a message transmission path, comprising a transition network element, between a source network element and a network element to be maintained is determined by an OMC, wherein a broken link exists between the OMC and the network element to be maintained; an operation maintenance message carrying the message transmission path is sent to the source network element by the OMC; the operation maintenance message is forwarded to a next-jump transition network element of the source network element and a next-jump transition network element of the transition network element by the source network element and the transition network element in the mode that the message is forwarded through a terminal along the message transmission path; the operation maintenance message is executed by the network element to be maintained. The method and the system for maintaining the network element achieve the purpose that under the situation that the link between the network element and the OMC is broken, the network element is maintained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wireless network operation and maintenance, in particular to a method and system for maintaining network elements. Background technique [0002] In the wireless communication network of the prior art, maintenance personnel uniformly maintain all network units (hereinafter referred to as "network elements") in the communication network through an operation and maintenance center (OMC). This maintenance method is provided by the OMC Send an operation and maintenance message to the network element that needs to be maintained, and after the network element that needs to be maintained performs corresponding actions according to the operation and maintenance message, it will feed back the execution result to the OMC. [0003] The above maintenance method is feasible when the communication link between the OMC and the NE to be maintained is smooth, but once the communication link between the NE to be maintained and the OM...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The above maintenance method is feasible when the communication link between the OMC and the NE to be maintained is smooth, but once the communication link between the NE to be maintained and the OMC is interrupted, the operation and maintenance messages delivered by the OMC cannot Received by the network element that needs to be maintained, the above maintenance method cannot achieve the purpose of maintenance

At this time, maintenance personnel need to go to the coverage area of ​​the network to be maintained, and use the local operation method to perform troubleshooting and maintenance. Not only the maintenance cycle is long and the efficiency is low, but it also poses hidden dangers to the safety of maintenance personnel.
