[0002] Base stations in wireless networks, especially 4G / 5G / 6G base stations, are usually decomposed into different modules to meet different application requirements and be suitable for different scenarios. The most typical decomposition is to divide the base station into a baseband unit (BBU) and a remote radio unit (RRU). Among them, the types of RRU also include remote radio units (AAU) with built-in antennas and pico remote radio units (pRRU). Usually, the BBU part also includes a variety of single-board modules, such as the main control board responsible for overall control and management, the baseband board responsible for baseband data processing, and the power board responsible for power supply and control. The radio unit RRU is usually an independent node device entity. In the new indoor distribution system, it can also be decomposed into a convergence switching module plus multiple radio sub-units. Multiple single boards and multiple node devices are connected through optical fibers, network cables and other cables to form a complete base station.
[0003] Multiple boards, multiple device nodes and other modules are organically combined to form a base station. In addition to the hardware installation and wiring required, data configuration is also required in the software to clarify the topological connection relationship of each module in order to create the baseband resources and radio frequency resources required to form a wireless cell. The current common method in the industry is to manually configure and combine according to the hardware installation and wiring of the equipment, and finally form the configuration data of the base station and its wireless cell; if the board is replaced after the base station is opened, the corresponding configuration data needs to be manually updated, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0023] The method embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device. Taking running on a computer terminal as an example, Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a hardware structure block diagram of a computer terminal of a method for configuring topology data of a base station according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the computer terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the figure) a processor 102 (the processor 102 may include but is not limited to a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA) and a memory 104 for storing data, wherein the above-mentioned computer terminal may also include a transmission device 106 and an input / output device 108 for communication functions. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 1 The structure shown is only for illustration and does not limit the structure of the above-mentioned computer terminal. Figure 1 More or fewer components as shown, or with Figure 1 Different configurations are shown.
[0024] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, for example, software programs and modules of application software, such as the computer program corresponding to the topology data configuration method of the base station in the embodiment of the present invention. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, that is, to implement the above method. The memory 104 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some examples, the memory 104 may further include a memory remotely arranged relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories may be connected to the computer terminal via a network. Examples of the above-mentioned network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.
[0025] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. The specific example of the above network may include a wireless network provided by a communication provider of the mobile terminal. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a network adapter (Network Interface Controller, NIC), which can be connected to other network devices through a base station so as to communicate with the Internet. In one example, the transmission device 106 can be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.
[0026] In this embodiment, a topology data configuration method of a base station running on the above-mentioned computer terminal is provided. In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station includes a base band unit (Base Band Unit, BBU) and a remote radio unit (Remote Radio Unit, RRU). Figure 2 is a flowchart of topology data configuration of a base station according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:
[0027] Step S202, the main control board of the baseband unit sends a request to obtain a business card to each functional board and the radio frequency unit of the baseband unit;
[0028] In actual implementation, the types of the above RRU may include a remote radio unit AAU and a micro radio unit pRRU.
[0029] In an exemplary embodiment, the main control board of the baseband unit sends a business card acquisition request to each functional board of the baseband unit, including: the main control board detects and identifies the slot where the functional board has been inserted in the baseband unit, and sends a business card acquisition request to the functional board inserted in the slot.
[0030] In an exemplary embodiment, the main control board of the baseband unit sends a request to obtain a business card to the radio frequency unit, including: the functional board detects and identifies whether the optoelectronic signal interface used to connect to the radio frequency unit is connected to the radio frequency unit; when the optoelectronic signal interface is connected to the radio frequency unit, the functional board forwards the request to obtain a business card to the optoelectronic signal interface connected to the radio frequency unit.
[0031] In the actual implementation process, the main control board detects and identifies whether a functional board is inserted in the slot, and identifies the slot where the functional board is inserted; at the same time, the main control board detects whether the photoelectric signal interface of the functional board is connected to a radio frequency unit, and identifies the photoelectric signal interface connected to the radio frequency unit. The specific detection and identification methods are conventional technical means in this field and will not be repeated here. In the actual implementation process, the functional board can be inserted into a slot located on the backplane, and the functional board can also have a photoelectric signal interface, which is connected to the radio frequency unit, wherein not all functional boards have a photoelectric signal interface.
[0032] In the actual implementation process, the main control board does not directly send a business card request to the RF unit. Instead, the functional board forwards it to the RF unit. It should be clear that only a functional board connected to a RF unit can forward a business card request to the RF unit to which the functional board is connected.
[0033] In the actual implementation process, multiple RF units can be cascaded. The functional board connected to the RF unit forwards the business card request to the first-level RF unit, and the first-level RF unit forwards the business card request to the second-level RF unit, and so on, forwarding step by step.
[0034] Step S204, the main control board receives the business card information reported by each functional board and the radio frequency unit;
[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, the business card information of the functional board includes at least one of the following: the name of the functional board, the type of the functional board, the interface capability of the functional board, and the service capability of the functional board; the business card information of the radio frequency unit includes at least one of the following: the name of the radio frequency unit, the type of the radio frequency unit, the interface capability of the radio frequency unit, and the service capability of the radio frequency unit.
[0036] In the actual implementation process, the business card information is burned and solidified in the corresponding functional boards and radio frequency units in the form of chips. Specifically, the burning and solidification can be carried out in the form of chips, which is not limited here.
[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the main control board receives the business card information reported by each functional board, including: the main control board receives the business card information reported by all functional boards inserted into the slots and the corresponding slot information.
[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, the main control board receives business card information reported by the radio frequency unit, including: the main control board receives business card information reported by the radio frequency unit and corresponding optoelectronic signal interface information, wherein the business card information is reported by the radio frequency unit to the functional board connected to the radio frequency unit, and then forwarded to the main control board by the functional board.
[0039] In the actual implementation process, in addition to receiving business card information, the main control board also needs to know where the business card information comes from. Therefore, for business card information from a functional board, it is necessary to know the slot information where the functional board is inserted, and for business card information from a radio frequency unit, it is necessary to know the optoelectronic signal interface information connected to it. In the actual implementation process, when multiple radio frequency units are cascaded, the business card acquisition request can be forwarded to multiple radio frequency units in sequence, and then the business card information returned by the multiple radio frequency units can be forwarded to the main control board step by step.
[0040] Step S206: The main control board generates topology data of the base station according to the reported business card information.
[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, the main control board generates topology data of the base station based on the reported business card information, including: the main control board generates topology data of the base station based on the reported business card information of each functional board and the slot information of each functional board, as well as the business card information reported by the radio frequency unit and its corresponding optoelectronic signal interface information.
[0042] In the actual implementation process, after obtaining the topological data of the base station, the functional parameters and service parameters of each functional board and radio frequency unit can be configured according to the topological data of the base station in combination with the actual service situation, so as to realize the plug-and-play of the functional board and radio frequency unit. The configuration of specific functional parameters and service parameters needs to be combined with the actual situation, and the configuration means are conventional technologies in this field, which will not be described here.
[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, when the main control board detects the insertion of a new functional board or the access of a new radio frequency unit, the main control board sends a request to obtain a business card to the newly inserted functional board or the newly connected radio frequency unit; the main control board receives the business card information reported by the newly inserted functional board or the newly connected radio frequency unit, and updates the topology data of the base station according to the business card information of the newly inserted functional board or the newly connected radio frequency unit.
[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the business card information of the newly inserted functional board or the newly connected radio frequency unit is compared with the existing topology data of the corresponding slot or optoelectronic signal interface in the current topology data. If there is inconsistency, the current topology data is updated; if there is consistency, no update is required.
[0045] In the actual implementation process, the newly inserted functional board may be inserted into the original slot, that is, the functional board was originally inserted but then pulled out, and then a new functional board was inserted into the slot where the functional board was pulled out. In this case, it is necessary to compare the business card information of the newly inserted functional board with the existing topological data of the corresponding slot in the current topological data. If they are inconsistent, it means that the functional boards inserted twice are different, and the current topological data is updated. If they are consistent, it means that the functional boards inserted twice are the same, and no update is required. At the same time, there is also the first insertion of a new functional board into a slot that has not had a functional board inserted before. In this case, when comparing, there is no information about the functional board on the corresponding slot in the original topological data, and the topological data needs to be updated.
[0046] In the actual implementation process, the newly connected radio frequency unit may be connected to the original optical signal interface, that is, the optical signal interface was previously connected to a radio frequency unit, but it was disconnected, and a new radio frequency unit was connected to the optical signal interface. In this case, it is necessary to compare the business card information of the newly connected radio frequency unit with the existing topology data of the corresponding optical signal interface in the current topology data. If they are inconsistent, it means that the radio frequency units connected twice are different, and the current topology data is updated. If they are consistent, it means that the radio frequency units connected twice are the same, and no update is required. At the same time, there is also a radio frequency unit that is connected for the first time to the optical signal interface of the radio frequency unit that was not connected before. In this case, when comparing, there is no information about the radio frequency unit on the corresponding optical signal interface in the original topology data, and the topology data needs to be updated.
[0047] In the actual implementation process, for the RF unit, the newly inserted RF unit may be a secondary RF unit in the cascaded RF units. In this case, the business card acquisition request is sent step by step according to the above embodiment, and the business card information is reported step by step, which will not be repeated here.
[0048] During the actual implementation process, the operator can pre-configure the detection function of the main control board. The specific configuration can be set according to the actual situation, so that the main control board can detect and monitor the corresponding slot changes and RRU equipment changes at any time. There is no specific restriction here.
[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, when a function board inserted into a slot is pulled out or a radio frequency unit connected to the function board is disconnected, the main control board initiates an alarm message to keep the current topology data unchanged.
[0050] In the actual implementation process, in the scenario of an already opened base station, the base station does not take any action other than reporting an alarm for unplugging a board to prevent confusion in the topology data configuration. The above process is triggered only when a new device is detected to be inserted or connected to the relevant slot or optical port, thereby completing the automatic data configuration.
[0051] Through the above steps, the main control board of the baseband unit sends a business card acquisition request to each functional board and the radio frequency unit of the baseband unit; the main control board receives the business card information reported by each functional board and the radio frequency unit; the main control board generates the topology data of the base station according to the reported business card information. The problem of time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient topology data configuration for the base station in the related technology is solved, and the effect of efficiently configuring the topology data of the base station is achieved.
[0052] The execution subject of the above steps may be a base station, a terminal, etc., but is not limited thereto.
[0053] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform, and of course can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on such an understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, a magnetic disk, or an optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for enabling a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, a computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in each embodiment of the present invention.

Thus, the present invention is not limited to any specific combination of hardware and software.
[0066] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, it is described below in conjunction with specific scenario embodiments.
[0067] Scenario Example 1
[0068] The method and device for configuring the topology data of a base station provided in the embodiments of the present invention can be mainly applied to typical base station networking scenarios and superimposed hybrid networking scenarios.
[0069] Topological connections can be summarized into two types: one is the connection between the main control board and the functional board in the base station BBU, including the topological connection between the main control board and the baseband board, and the topological connection between the main control board and other functional boards such as the power supply. This type of connection is physically connected through the backplane slot in the base station baseband unit BBU device; the other is the connection between the board with external interface function in the base station baseband unit BBU and other peripheral node devices, such as the baseband board has multiple optical ports for connecting to the base station radio frequency unit (AAU / RRU). This type of connection is physically connected through optical fiber or network cable.
[0070] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a base station star networking scenario according to a scenario embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the baseband board B has multiple optical ports for connecting to the base station radio frequency unit (AAU / RRU). Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a base station chain network according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the baseband board B has an optical port for connecting to a base station radio frequency unit (AAU / RRU), and different base station radio frequency units are cascaded. Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a new room grouping network of a base station according to a scenario embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 7As shown, the base station radio frequency unit includes multiple pRRUs, and the information of different pRRUs (business card information, etc.) can be aggregated to the switching and aggregation module, and then information / data transmission is performed with the BBU.
[0071] In the scenario embodiment of the present invention, the main control board in the baseband unit BBU of the base station is the core of the entire base station. The main control board is set as the initiator of the connection establishment and is responsible for the final configuration data generation and storage. Other boards and devices have a hardware business card, which is burned and solidified at the factory. The board business card contains at least the fields shown in Table 1:
[0072] Table 1 Fields included in the business card information of the functional board
[0073]
[0074] In addition to the board business cards of the above-mentioned boards and devices, when transmitting the board business cards, you also need to carry interface information such as the slot or optical port.
[0075] Scenario Example 2
[0076] In the second embodiment of this scenario, examples are given according to different scenarios to illustrate the process of configuring the topology data of the base station.
[0077] The topology data configuration method and device of the base station provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the main control board in the BBU of the base station is the core of the entire base station, and the embodiment of the present invention sets the main control board as the initiator of connection establishment, and is responsible for the final configuration data generation and storage. Other boards and devices on the base station are designed with hardware business cards (i.e. business card information), which are burned and solidified when leaving the factory (including but not limited to burning and solidifying in the form of chips), including: board name, board type, interface capability, business capability and other information. When transmitting the single board business card, it is also necessary to carry the interface information such as the slot or optical port. In the scenario of opening a station or expanding capacity, after the main control board is powered on, it detects and identifies the slot where the single board has been inserted, and sends a request to obtain the business card to all slots where the single board is inserted. After receiving the request, all single boards in the BBU register the business card information; the baseband board / interface board detects and identifies the interface with the optical signal, and forwards the main control board's request to obtain the business card to the interface with the optical signal, and registers the business card information on the radio frequency unit or cascade device; the main control board generates the base station hardware topology data based on the slot information, interface information and single board business card. In the board replacement scenario, after the main control board detects that a new board has been inserted / accessed, it sends a request to obtain a business card to the slot / device where the board is inserted, and registers the business card information on the newly inserted / accessed device. The main control board updates the base station hardware topology data based on the board business card and slot information / interface location information. The base station generates hardware topology data based on self-discovery and self-configuration, and automatically generates complete base station configuration data based on the planning data input by the user to achieve plug-and-play. In the commissioning and operation and maintenance of the base station, the commissioning configuration and hardware replacement require matching configuration or modifying related configuration data, which is complex and error-prone, and requires a lot of manpower. The topology data configuration method of the base station in the embodiment of the present invention ensures hardware plug-and-play through an automated process of self-discovery and self-configuration, improves the efficiency of commissioning and operation and maintenance, reduces manpower consumption to 0, and also increases the accuracy to 100%.
[0078] The method for establishing a connection and forming configuration data between single boards and node devices described in the embodiments of the present invention involves the following scenarios.
[0079] (I) For new site deployment scenarios, the process of automatically generating base station topology and base station resource configuration data.

[0081] Step S801, BBU main control board: detect and identify the slot where the single board has been inserted.
[0082] Step S802: The BBU main control board sends a business card acquisition request to all slots into which boards are inserted.
[0083] Step S803: All boards in the BBU: report the board business card.
[0084] Step S804: The baseband board or interface board in the BBU detects and identifies the presence of an optoelectronic signal interface.
[0085] Step S805: The baseband board or interface board in the BBU forwards the request for obtaining a business card from the main control board to the interface with the photoelectric signal.
[0086] Step S806: The baseband board or the interface board in the BBU is connected to a board and reports the board name card.
[0087] Step S807: The baseband board or interface board in the BBU forwards the business card of the lower-level connected device board and its connection interface information.
[0088] Step S808, main control board: generates configuration data of base station topology and base station resources based on slot information, interface information and board business card.
[0089] (II) For the opened base station scenario, the BBU board is replaced or the new scenario data configuration self-update process is added.
[0090] Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a process for updating topology data configuration of a base station according to a scenario embodiment of the present invention, such as Fig. 9 As shown, when the BBU board is replaced or new scene data is added, the process of updating the topology data configuration of the base station includes:
[0091] Step S901, BBU main control board: detects that a new board is inserted into the BBU frame.
[0092] Step S902: The BBU main control board sends a request to obtain a business card to the slot where the board is inserted.
[0093] Step S903: A new board is inserted into the BBU: reporting the board business card.
[0094] Step S904, main control board: update the configuration data of base station topology and base station resources based on the board business card and slot information (compare first, if the slot configuration data already exists in the current configuration data and the board model is consistent with the new board business card, no update is required).
[0095] (III) For the opened base station scenario, the BBU board lower-level device is replaced or the new scenario data configuration self-update process is added.

[0097] Step S1001: The baseband board or interface board in the BBU detects that there is an optical / electrical signal at the optical / electrical interface.
[0098] Step S1002: The baseband board or interface board in the BBU sends a request to obtain a business card to the interface with the photoelectric signal.
[0099] Step S1003: A new downstream board is inserted into the baseband board or the interface board in the BBU: the board business card is reported.
[0100] Step S1004: The baseband board or interface board in the BBU: forwards the board business card and its connection interface information.
[0101] Step S1005, main control board: update the configuration data of base station topology and base station resources based on slot information, interface information and board business card (compare first, if the slot configuration data already exists in the current configuration data and the board model is consistent with the new board business card, no update is required).
[0102] (IV) For an already opened base station scenario, the self-update process for replacing or adding scenario data configuration for the second-level or higher cascaded devices.
[0103] Fig.11 is a schematic diagram of a process for updating topology data configuration of a base station according to a scenario embodiment of the present invention, such as Fig.11 As shown, when the second-level or higher cascade devices are replaced or new scene data is added, the process of updating the topology data configuration of the base station includes:
[0104] Step S1101, the lower-connected board in the BBU: detects that the optoelectronic interface has an optoelectronic signal.
[0105] Step S1102: The lower link board in the BBU sends a business card acquisition request to the interface with the photoelectric signal.
[0106] Step S1103: A newly inserted board in a second-level or higher cascade of a lower-link board in the BBU: reporting a board business card.
[0107] Step S1104: The downstream board in the BBU forwards the board business card and its connection interface information.
[0108] Step S 1105 , the baseband board or interface board in the BBU: forwards the board business card and its connection interface information.
[0109] Step S1106, main control board: update the configuration data of base station topology and base station resources based on slot information, interface information and board business card (compare first, if the slot configuration data already exists in the current configuration data and the board model is consistent with the new board business card, no update is required).
[0110] In the above embodiment, in the scenario where the base station has been opened, the base station does not perform any processing other than reporting an alarm for unplugging the single board. The above process is triggered only when a new device is detected to be inserted or connected to the relevant slot or optoelectronic port, thereby completing the automatic data configuration.
[0111] In summary, the topology data configuration method and device of the base station provided by the embodiment of the present invention are mainly used to realize the automatic discovery and automatic configuration of the hardware topology on the base station. At the same time, during the network operation and maintenance process, when the hardware resources of the base station are changed, the software and configuration are automatically updated after the hardware is replaced. The topology data configuration method of the base station provided by the embodiment of the present invention designs a single board business card to save the key information of the single board hardware self-configuration, such as: board name, board type, interface capability, business capability, etc., and whether the single board hardware information is queried can be confirmed whether it involves infringement. The main control board of the base station has the ability to identify whether the single board is inserted / accessed, obtain hardware business cards, collect single board information, and self-configure the hardware topology. Infringement can be identified in the internal processing flow or log printing. In the new site opening scenario, it is initiated by the main control board, and the network topology and equipment information are obtained by detecting the connection, handshake interaction, and obtaining the business card, and the base station topology and resource configuration data are automatically created. Whether infringement can be identified from the internal processing flow of the base station. In the opened site scenario, the process of obtaining business cards and updating configuration data is triggered by detecting the connection status of the slot and the optical port, thereby realizing plug-and-play of single boards and devices.
