The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0034] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an implementation environment involved in the present application. The implementation environment includes a small base station deployment system, which includes a small base station 10 and a base station gateway 20 deployed in an intranet, and an initialization configuration server 30 and a network management 40 deployed in a public network.

[0035] The small base station 10 and the base station gateway 20 establish a communication connection through the network 50; the base station gateway 20 establishes a communication connection with the initialization configuration server 30 and the network management 40 through the network 60, wherein the network 50 and the network 60 are different networks, and the network 50 can be a wired network or a wireless network, which is not restricted here.

[0036] The initialization configuration server 30 provides the base station gateway 20 with its own IP address, the access address of the network management 40, and the interaction rules required for automatic station opening;

[0037] After the base station gateway 20 completes the initialization configuration, it forwards the station opening request sent by the small base station 10 to the network manager 40 corresponding to the access address according to the data forwarding rules and the external network IP address; according to the data forwarding rules and the external network IP address, it forwards the station opening file information from the network manager 40 to the small base station 10 to execute the station opening process.

[0038] The small base station 10 executes the station opening process according to the station opening file information.

[0039] Among them, the small base station opening system is a 5G small base station automatic opening system based on the 5G base station gateway, which is mainly used in 5G industry private networks. In the scenario where the 5G base station gateway is deployed in the enterprise park, the small base stations in the enterprise intranet are automatically opened from the network management side through the base station gateway.

[0040] Among them, the initialization configuration server 30 and the network management 40 can be independent physical servers, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers. They can also be cloud servers that provide basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network) and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. There is no restriction on this here.

[0041] The following is based on Figure 1 The implementation environment shown in the figure provides a detailed description of the small base station deployment method:

[0042] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a flowchart of a small base station deployment method shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The small base station deployment method is composed of Figure 1 The base station gateway 20 shown in the figure performs the base station gateway method, which includes steps S110 to S140, which are described in detail as follows:

[0043] S110: Send an acquisition request to an initialization configuration server deployed in the public network.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, since the small base station is in an intranet environment, the network management for handling the opening of the small base station is in a public network environment, and the opening process is restricted, when the small base station needs to be opened, the opening of the small base station will be realized through the base station gateway. The base station gateway needs to complete the initialization configuration first, and will send an acquisition request to the initialization configuration server deployed in the public network to obtain configuration information related to the initialization configuration.

[0045] Optionally, the base station gateway may send an acquisition request to the initialization configuration server via a STN (Synchronous Transmission Network) or a metropolitan area network.

[0046] Optionally, the acquisition request carries device information of the base station gateway, which may be a MAC (Media Access Control Address) address, or a SN (Serial Number) and an OUI (Organizationally unique identifier), so that the initialization configuration server can distinguish between base station gateways in different intranets.

[0047] S120: Receive the external network IP address sent by the initialization configuration server, the access address of the network management deployed in the public network, and the data forwarding rules required for opening the site.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the configuration information related to the aforementioned initialization configuration includes the external network IP address of the base station gateway itself, the access address of the network management, and the data forwarding rules required for station opening.

[0049] The external IP address is allocated by the initialization configuration server to the base station gateway, and the external IP address is an IP address used to interact with devices deployed on the public network, such as a network management system deployed on the public network.

[0050] The access address of the network manager, that is, the communication address of the network manager, can be the IP address of the network manager or the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information of the network manager. Then the base station gateway can communicate with the network manager according to the access address of the network manager. It can be understood that the network manager is used to control the opening of small base stations.

[0051] It should be noted that the data forwarding rules are required for automated site deployment and represent the interaction rules for small base stations and network managers to communicate with each other. That is, the base station gateway can open the link from the small base station to the network manager through the data forwarding rules, thereby realizing data interaction between the small base station and the network manager.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the aforementioned external network IP address and data forwarding rules, automatic configuration will be performed, for example, the external network is used as the actual IP, and the data forwarding rules are stored. After the base station gateway completes the automatic configuration, the base station gateway and the small base stations under it can realize data interaction with the network management.

[0053] S130. According to the data forwarding rule and the external network IP address, the opening request sent by the small base station is forwarded to the network management corresponding to the access address.

[0054] It should be noted that the base station gateway and the small base station under it are pre-configured with an intranet IP. The base station gateway and the small base station communicate with each other through the intranet IP, and all terminal data managed by the small base station will be forwarded through the base station gateway. Therefore, when the small base station needs to be opened, the base station gateway will forward the opening request sent by the small base station to the network management corresponding to the access address. Specifically, the base station gateway maps the relevant IP according to the data forwarding rules and the external network IP address, opens the data transmission link from the small base station to the base station gateway, and forwards the opening request in the intranet to the network management in the public network, so as to realize the access of the small base station to the network management.

[0055] Optionally, the site opening request is used to request site opening information for site opening, and the site opening request carries relevant information of the small base station, so that the network manager can manage the small base station. The relevant information of the small base station may include device information, and the device information includes at least one of SN, OUI, and device model, so that the network manager can verify the small base station; in one example, the relevant information of the small base station may also include site opening information required by the small base station, such as site opening type, such as 5G (fifth generation mobile communication technology), 4G (fourth generation mobile communication technology), etc.

[0056] S140. According to the data forwarding rule and the external network IP address, the site opening information from the network management is forwarded to the small base station, so that the small base station executes the site opening process according to the site opening information.

[0057] As mentioned above, the small base station interacts with the network management through the base station gateway. Therefore, when the network management sends information to be sent to the small base station, the information needs to be forwarded to the small base station through the base station gateway. The base station gateway maps the relevant IP according to the data forwarding rules and the external network IP address, opens the data transmission link from the network management to the small base station, and forwards the site opening information in the public network to the small base station in the internal network, so that the network management can manage the small base station.

[0058] Optionally, the site opening information is used to describe the information required for the site opening of the small base station; it is understandable that different small base stations have different site opening information. The site opening information may refer to a site opening file or a path corresponding to the site opening file; and then the small base station executes the site opening process according to the site opening information after receiving the site opening information.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, an industry intranet is built through the base station gateway and the supporting small base station. In this scenario, the base station gateway interacts with the initialization configuration server to obtain the external network IP address, the access address of the network manager, and the data forwarding rules required for station opening. According to the external network IP address and data forwarding rules, the link from the small base station to the network manager is opened, and the small base station in the intranet is assisted in automatic station opening and network access in the network management system. The station opening process of the small base station is more efficient and accurate, which can greatly reduce the time and cost of building and maintaining the small base station.

[0060] It is worth noting that the initialization configuration server includes a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which is used to allocate dynamic IP addresses; Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 Shows Figure 2 The flowchart of step S110 and step S120 in the illustrated embodiment in an exemplary embodiment includes:

[0061] S111. Send an IP acquisition request to a DHCP server.

[0062] S121. Receive the external network IP address sent by the DHCP server.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, when the base station gateway needs to interact with a device in the public network, it needs to request the IP address for interaction from the DHCH server. For example, the base station gateway sends a broadcast packet containing a request to the public network where the DHCH server is located. The DHCH server broadcasts or unicasts a broadcast packet containing a valid external network IP address to the base station gateway.

[0064] Optionally, the acquisition request may include the requested IP address desired by the base station gateway, ie, the external network IP address, and then when the DHCH server determines that the external network IP address is valid, it sends the external network IP address to the base station gateway.

[0065] Optionally, the acquisition request only instructs the DHCH server to allocate an IP address for the base station gateway. At this time, the DHCH server can temporarily allocate an IP address from the IP resource pool, that is, randomly allocate an external IP address. The IP address allocated for each Internet access may be different, which is related to the IP address resources at the time. The DHCH server can also determine the external IP address corresponding to the base station gateway based on the maintained mapping table of the device information and IP address of the base station gateway; that is, the same base station gateway has the same IP address allocated for each Internet access; wherein, the mapping table of the device information and IP address of the base station gateway is pre-set by the DHCH server, and one base station gateway can correspond to one IP address. Of course, one base station gateway can also correspond to multiple IP addresses to avoid the inability to interact due to IP address failure.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, an external network IP address is obtained from a DHCH server to facilitate interaction with devices in the public network, thereby effectively saving IP addresses, ensuring network communication, and improving the utilization rate of IP addresses.

[0067] Optionally, the initialization configuration server also includes an initialization server, which is used to provide IP address management and initialization information management functions. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 Shows Figure 3 In the flowchart of an exemplary embodiment after step S121 in the illustrated embodiment, the process of receiving the external network IP address sent by the initialization configuration server, the access address of the network management deployed in the public network, and the data forwarding rules required for opening the site includes:

[0068] S122: Receive the access address of the initialization server sent by the DHCP server.

[0069] It should be noted that when the base station gateway sends an IP acquisition request to the DHCH server, the acquisition request also includes a message that the base station gateway needs to initialize the service. After DHCH receives the acquisition request, it determines whether to return the access address of the initialization server to the base station gateway based on the initialization service message.

[0070] In some embodiments, as long as the base station gateway sends an IP acquisition request to the DHCH server, the DHCH server directly returns the access address of the initialization server to the base station gateway.

[0071] The access address of the initialization server, that is, the communication address of the initialization server, may be the IP address of the initialization server or the URL information of the initialization server. Then, the base station gateway may communicate with the initialization server according to the access address.

[0072] S123: Send an initialization service request to the initialization server according to the external network IP address and the access address of the initialization server.

[0073] When the base station gateway obtains the external network IP address, it performs automatic configuration of the external network IP address, and then sends an initialization service request to the initialization server corresponding to the access address through the external network IP address.

[0074] S124: Receive the data forwarding rules and the access address of the network manager required for opening the site sent by the initialization server.

[0075] It can be understood that the data forwarding rules and the external network IP address, that is, different external network IP addresses have corresponding data forwarding rules; the initialization server determines the initialization management information corresponding to the external network IP address based on the correspondence between the maintained IP address and the initialization management information. The initialization management information at least includes the data forwarding rules required for station opening and the access address of the network manager, that is, the base station gateway interacts with the initialization server and the network manager through the same external network IP address.

[0076] In one example of an embodiment of the present application, the initialization server can provide IP address management and initialization information management functions, that is, it can manage the external IP address of the base station gateway. For example, the initialization server can configure different valid external IP addresses for different base station gateways, and synchronize the external IP address to the DHCH server. Then, when the base station gateway sends an IP acquisition request to the DHCH server, the DHCH server sends the external IP address synchronized by the initialization server to the corresponding base station gateway.

[0077] The initialization server can also maintain the management function of the correspondence between the IP address and the initialization information. For example, after the base station gateway initiates an initialization service request to the initialization server through the external network IP address, the initialization server sends the data forwarding rules corresponding to the IP address to the base station gateway based on the correspondence between the IP address and the initialization information.

[0078] It is worth noting that in one example, after the base station gateway initiates an initialization service request to the initialization server, the initialization server and the network manager interact, and the initialization server can send the external network IP address of the base station gateway to the network manager, and then the network manager records it in the local IP address pool. Optionally, after the network manager agrees, the initialization server sends the network manager's access address to the base station gateway.

[0079] In another example of the embodiment of the present application, when the base station gateway sends an initialization service request to the initialization server through the external network IP address (such as IP1) sent by the DHCH server, the initialization server can send a new external network IP address (such as IP2) to the base station gateway in addition to sending data forwarding rules and the access address of the network manager to the base station gateway. The base station gateway configures IP2, and then realizes the interaction between the small base station and the network manager through IP2 and the data forwarding rules. That is, the different IP addresses of the base station gateway interact with the initialization server and the network manager to improve security.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, a request is initiated to the initialization server through the access address sent by the DHCH server to obtain data forwarding rules and the access address of the network manager, so as to facilitate the subsequent rapid and accurate establishment of the link between the small base station and the network manager.

[0081] It is worth noting that Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 for Figure 2 The flowchart of step S130 in an exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes the following steps: forwarding the station opening request sent by the small base station to the network management corresponding to the access address according to the data forwarding rule and the external network IP address;

[0082] S131. According to the data forwarding rule, the source IP address in the data packet sent by the small base station is mapped to an external network IP address.

[0083] S132: forward the data packet after the IP address mapping to the network management, wherein the data packet carries a site opening request.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the data forwarding rules include mapping the corresponding IP addresses. Depending on the different objects to which the data packets are sent, the mapped IP addresses are also different, thereby achieving intercommunication between the small base station and the network management.

[0085] When receiving a data packet sent by the small base station and determining that it is sent to the network management of the public network based on the destination port of the data packet, the base station gateway maps the source IP address in the data packet to a local external network IP address.

[0086] The source address of the data packet after IP address mapping is the external network IP, and the destination address is the network management IP. The data packet is sent to the network management, and the data packet carries the site opening request, and then the site opening request of the small base station is sent to the network management for processing.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present application, the data forwarding rules include not only mapping the IP address, but also mapping the port, that is, mapping the source IP address in the data packet sent by the small base station to the external network IP address, and mapping the source port in the data packet to the local external network port, and then forwarding the station opening request to the network management through the mapped IP address and port.

[0088] It is worth noting that Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 for Figure 2 The flowchart of step S140 in an exemplary embodiment is shown, wherein, according to the data forwarding rule and the external network IP address, the station opening information sent by the small base station is forwarded to the small base station to execute the station opening process, including:

[0089] S141. Receive a data packet sent by the network manager through the external network IP address.

[0090] It is understandable that the base station gateway interacts with the network manager in the public network through the external network IP address, and therefore can receive data packets sent by the network manager through the external network IP address.

[0091] S142. According to the data forwarding rules, the destination address and port for accessing the external network IP of the base station gateway in the data packet sent from the network manager are mapped to the internal network IP address and port of the small base station.

[0092] S143: Send the data packet after the IP address and port mapping to the small base station, where the data packet carries the station opening information.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present application, the data forwarding rules include mapping the corresponding IP addresses. Depending on the different objects to which the data packets are sent, the mapped IP addresses are also different, thereby achieving intercommunication between the small base station and the network management.

[0094] When a data packet sent by the network manager is received and it is determined that the data packet is sent to the small base station based on the destination IP address and port of the data packet, the base station gateway maps the destination IP address and port in the data packet to the intranet IP address and port of the small base station. The intranet IP of the small base station is the IP used by the small base station to communicate in the intranet.

[0095] The source address of the data packet after IP address mapping is the local intranet IP, and the destination address is the intranet IP of the small base station. The data packet is sent to the small base station. The data packet carries the station opening information, and then the station opening information of the small base station is sent to the small base station.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present application, the data forwarding rules include not only mapping the IP address, but also mapping the port, that is, the destination port in the data packet is mapped to the intranet port of the small base station, and then the station opening information is forwarded to the small base station through the mapped IP address and port.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, the corresponding IP address in the data packet is mapped according to the sender of the data packet to achieve intercommunication between the small base station in the intranet and the network management in the public network.

Figures 7 and 8 The implementation details of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application are described in detail from the perspective of the small base station:

[0099] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 is a flowchart of a small base station deployment method shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The small base station deployment method is composed of Figure 1 The small base station 20 shown in the figure performs the small base station deployment method, which includes steps S710 to S720, which are described in detail as follows:

[0100] S710: Send a site opening request to a base station gateway deployed in the intranet, so that the base station gateway forwards the site opening request to a network management system deployed in the public network according to a data forwarding rule and an external network IP address.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, when the small base station needs to be opened, the base station gateway deployed in the intranet sends a site opening request to the network manager deployed in the public network. The small base station sends the site opening request to the base station gateway through the intranet, and the base station gateway forwards the site opening request to the network manager. For the specific process, please refer to the aforementioned embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0102] S720. Receive the site opening information from the network manager forwarded by the base station gateway. The site opening information is forwarded by the base station gateway according to the data forwarding rule and the external network IP address after receiving the site opening information sent by the network manager.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the network manager sends the station opening information to the small base station through the base station gateway. The network manager sends the station opening information to the base station gateway, and the base station gateway forwards the station opening information to the small base station through the intranet. For the specific process, please refer to the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0104] S730: Execute a site opening process according to the site opening information.

[0105] Since the station opening information includes the station opening related information required by the small base station, the small base station executes the station opening process after receiving the station opening information.

[0106] Optionally, the site opening process may be that the small base station is configured according to the site opening information to realize site opening; or the small base station processes the site opening information and realizes site opening according to the processing result.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, the problem that a small base station in an intranet environment cannot be automatically known to the public network can be solved. The small base station sends a station opening request to a base station gateway, and the base station gateway transmits the station opening request of the small base station to a network manager to execute the station opening process. Only the base station gateway needs to perform relevant processing, which is transparent to the small base station and the network manager, and the station opening process of the base station is more efficient and accurate.

[0108] Optionally, the site opening information is sent by the network manager after the small base station is verified. That is, the small base station sends a site opening request to the network manager, and the network manager verifies the small base station according to the device information of the small base station contained in the site opening request. If the network manager verifies that the small base station belongs to a device in the preset whitelist, the verification passes and the site opening information is sent to the small base station. The site opening information includes the site opening file address, that is, the storage path corresponding to the site opening file. Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 for Figure 7 The flowchart of step S720 in an exemplary embodiment is shown, wherein the process of executing the site opening process according to the site opening information includes:

[0109] S721. Download the corresponding site opening file according to the site opening file address, and send the download status to the network management through the base station gateway.

[0110] The small base station downloads the corresponding station opening file from the station opening file address. During the download process, it sends the download status to the base station gateway. Then the base station gateway sends the download status to the network management according to the data forwarding rules and the external network IP address.

[0111] Optionally, the download status includes download success, download failure and failure reason, download exception and exception reason, download pause and pause reason; the download status is sent to the network manager through the base station gateway so that the network manager knows whether the site opening file is downloaded normally, and can perform exception processing: such as sending the site opening file address again.

[0112] S722. Configure the site opening file and send the site opening status to the network manager through the base station gateway so that the network manager can check the site opening status.

[0113] After successfully downloading the site opening file, the small base station parses the site opening file and performs configuration. During the configuration process, it sends the site opening status to the base station gateway, and then the base station gateway sends the site opening status to the network management according to the data forwarding rules and the external network IP address.

[0114] Optionally, the station opening status includes station opening success and station opening failure; the station opening status is sent to the network manager through the base station gateway, and the network manager checks the station opening status. If the check passes, it means that the small base station opening is completed; wherein, the network manager can see the connection and activation status of the small base station on the interface, determine the status of the small base station through the connection and activation status, and then compare the status of the small base station with the station opening status to determine that the small base station opening is completed.

[0115] In an embodiment of the present application, the download status is sent to the network manager through the base station gateway to ensure the normal download of the site opening file, and the site opening status is sent to the network manager to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the site opening.

[0116] For ease of understanding, this embodiment uses a more specific example to illustrate the small base station deployment method. The small base station deployment method is applied to 5G industry private networks, for example, in scenarios where 5G base station gateways are deployed in enterprise parks, small base stations in the enterprise intranet are automatically deployed from the network management side via the base station gateway. Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of an application scenario provided for this embodiment. It includes an enterprise intranet, a large operator network, and an Internet application server. Among them, a 5G small base station, a 5G base station gateway, and an enterprise APP Server are deployed in the enterprise intranet; a network management, an initialization server, a DHCP Server (i.e., the aforementioned DHCH server) and a 5GC are deployed in the large operator network, and the enterprise intranet and the large operator network communicate through the STN / metropolitan area network.

[0117] 5GC stands for 5G core network, whose main function is to authenticate and manage users accessing the 5G mobile communication network and carry users' business data; the Internet application server provides various business data access services for users accessing through the core network; the enterprise APP Server provides special enterprise network internal data access services for specific users.

[0118] The 5G base station gateway includes a security gateway, a signaling gateway, and a data gateway; the signaling gateway mainly aggregates signaling between 5G small base stations and the core network, and can perform access and mobility management on the small base stations under its jurisdiction; the security gateway supports the construction of an IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) security tunnel with the 5G small base station, protects the control plane and user plane data of the 5G small base station from eavesdropping and tampering, and protects the secure access of the 5G small base station to the core network; the data gateway mainly implements the routing and forwarding functions of user plane data.

[0119] The 5G base station gateway, the initialization server, and the DHCP server together constitute the initialization configuration part; the initialization server and the DHCP server together constitute the aforementioned initialization configuration server; the 5G base station gateway, the 5G small base station, and the network management together constitute the automated site opening part.

[0120] 5G small base stations and 5G small base station gateways are deployed in the enterprise intranet and backhauled through the metropolitan area network or STN. The initialization server, DHCP server, and network management server are deployed in the operator's large network.

[0121] The initialization configuration server provides the 5G base station gateway with its own IP address, the access address of the network management platform, and the interaction rules required for automated site deployment; after the 5G base station gateway completes the initialization configuration and takes effect, the 5G small base station initiates a site deployment request to the network management via the 5G base station gateway. The 5G base station gateway can automatically map the relevant ports and forward data, and forward the site deployment file issued by the network management to the 5G small base station; after the 5G small base station successfully configures the site deployment parameters and completes the automated site deployment, it can ensure that the terminal data is transmitted normally according to the enterprise private network plan.

[0122] For 5G industry private network scenarios, by deploying 5G base station gateways down to enterprise parks, the transmitted signaling and user-plane data can be encrypted and integrity protected, which can ensure the business security of 5G small base stations in non-trusted domains. The 5G base station gateway can aggregate the signaling of 5G small stations deployed in enterprise parks and realize local business diversion, solving the company's customized needs for data transmission.

[0123] based on Fig. 9 The application scenarios shown are as follows: Fig.10 As shown, Fig.10The present application provides an automated site opening process for a 5G small base station in an enterprise campus, in which the 5G small base station and the 5G base station gateway are pre-configured with intranet IP and port when they are shipped out of the factory. In the enterprise campus scenario, the gateway and the small base station communicate with each other through the intranet IP, and all data managed by the small base station will be forwarded via the base station gateway. The site opening process includes:

[0124] S1001. The 5G base station gateway initiates an IP acquisition request to the DHCP server.

[0125] S1002. The DHCP server returns the external IP address assigned to the 5G base station gateway and the URL address of the initialization server.

[0126] The DHCP server returns the external network IP address assigned to the base station gateway and the URL address of the initialization service platform based on the mapping table between the requesting device information (MAC address or SN+OUI) and the IP address maintained;

[0127] S1003. The 5G base station gateway initiates a request to the initialization server according to the assigned URL address of the initialization server.

[0128] The base station gateway performs automatic configuration of the external network IP information, and then initiates an initialization request based on the external network IP and the URL address of the initialization service platform issued.

[0129] S1004. The initialization server sends the address of the network management, the actual external network IP of the 5G base station gateway and the interaction rules.

[0130] The initialization service platform sends the URL information of the network management server to the 5G base station gateway, and determines the interaction rules based on the correspondence between the maintained IP and the initialization management information. The initialization management information refers to the interaction rules corresponding to the IP.

[0131] Among them, in one embodiment, the actual external IP is the same as the external IP in step S1002; the external IP in step S1002 is the IP allocated by the DHCP server to the gateway and can be used to interact with the initialization server. The DHCP server allocates the IP based on a one-to-one mapping table between the requesting device information and the IP address.

[0132] The initialization server provides IP address management and initialization information management functions, and synchronizes IP information to the DHCP server.

[0133] In step S1003, after the 5G base station gateway initiates a request to the initialization server, the initialization server interacts with the network manager, and the network manager obtains the IP address of the gateway and records it in the IP address pool and maintains the IP address pool. After that, the 5G base station gateway uses this IP as the actual IP.

[0134] Of course, in another embodiment, the actual external network IP is different from the external network IP in step S1002.

[0135] After receiving the information sent by the initialization server, the 5G base station gateway parses the information sent and automatically completes the configuration. After the 5G base station gateway completes the automation process, for the IP packets from the network management, the 5G base station gateway implements packet forwarding, and maps the external network IP / port to the intranet address / port of the 5G small base station, and changes the source IP address and port to the gateway intranet IP and port, thus realizing the southbound management of the 5G small base station by the network management. For the IP packets from the 5G small base station, the 5G base station gateway completes packet forwarding, changes the source IP and port to the 5G base station gateway external network IP and port, and realizes the access of the 5G small base station to the network management.

[0136] For example: Network management IP: 8.134.254.27; 5G base station gateway external network IP: 42.54.182.46; 5G base station gateway internal network IP: 192.168.7.3; 5G small base station IP: 192.168.7.4.

[0137] The gateway can be configured with the following rules to achieve IP and port mapping: [iptables-t nat-A PREROUTING-d42.54.182.46-p tcp--dport 7547-j DNAT--to-destination 192.168.7.4:7547]; convert the external access target address 42.54.182.46 and port 7547 data to the target address 192.168.7.4, port 7547, that is, map the target IP address to the 5G base station gateway external network IP address and the specific port of the data packet to the 5G small base station IP address and specific port.

[0138] [iptables-t nat-A POSTROUTING-d 192.168.7.4-p tcp--dport 7547-jSNAT--to 192.168.7.3]; convert all data packets with source address 192.168.7.4 and port 7547 to source address 192.168.7.3, that is, map the source address of the data packet from the 5G small base station to the intranet IP address of the base station gateway.

[0139] [iptables-t nat-A POSTROUTING-s 192.168.7.0 / 24-o ens33-j SNAT--to-source 42.54.182.46]: Convert all packets with source address 192.168.7.0 / 24 sent from interface ens33 to packets with source address 42.54.182.46. That is, map all packets with the same intranet address segment as the small base station sent from the specific interface of the base station gateway to the external network IP address with the source address of the base station gateway.

[0140] The 5G base station gateway and its small base stations can realize data interaction with the network management. From then on, the initialization process of the enterprise park 5G base station gateway is completed.

[0141] S1005. The small base station in the enterprise campus intranet environment initiates a site opening request to the network management through the gateway.

[0142] S1006. The network management verifies the site opening equipment. After the information verification is passed, the site opening file path is sent to the 5G base station gateway, and the 5G base station gateway forwards it to the 5G small base station.

[0143] The network management verifies the 5G small base station through "SN+OUI+device model". The network management side has the corresponding relationship between the relevant information of the maintenance equipment and the site opening file. The 5G small base station will carry its own equipment information when sending a site opening request. If the network management verifies that the device belongs to the whitelist, the verification passes and the site opening file address is issued. The 5G base station gateway forwards the site opening file address to the 5G small base station according to the configured data forwarding rules.

[0144] S1007, 5G small base station downloads the site opening file and notifies the network administrator after completion.

[0145] The network administrator is informed whether the site opening file is downloaded normally. If there is any abnormality, the abnormality can be handled: for example, the site opening file address can be sent again.

[0146] S1008, the 5G small base station parses the site opening file and executes the configuration. After completion, the network management is notified of the site opening status via the 5G base station gateway.

[0147] The network administrator has passed the inspection and the site deployment is completed.

[0148] There are a large number of 5G integrated small base stations for enterprise parks. In order to meet the needs of industry-specific network security, local traffic diversion, signaling convergence, etc., enterprise parks need to deploy 5G small base station gateways. 5G small base stations are connected to the network management system through the 5G base station gateway for management. The traditional configuration method of the offline local operation and maintenance system requires too much energy and is relatively inefficient. In order to resolve the contradiction between the greatly increased workload of base station opening in the 5G private network scenario and the low efficiency of the traditional opening method, the introduction of 5G small base stations and network management automated opening methods based on 5G base station gateways in enterprise parks can greatly reduce the time and cost of small base station construction and maintenance, and improve the application efficiency of 5G private networks; and many small base stations in the enterprise intranet apply to the network management for opening stations through the base station gateway, and the base station gateway and the initialization platform in the public network can apply for initialization parameters. In other words, enterprise parks generally deploy more small base stations, and these small base stations can be uniformly connected to the base station gateway, and then the base station gateway will uniformly build a public link with the external network. As long as the base station gateway is initialized and the IP and port forwarding interaction rules are complete, the small base stations under it can interact with the network management. The small base stations in the enterprise intranet do not need to interact with the initialization platform, which can save public link resources.
