[0047] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.

[0049] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a method for monitoring base station alarm information, in one embodiment, comprising:

[0050] S101, obtaining alarm information of a base station, and encapsulating the alarm information in a standardized format.

[0051] At the base station, each alarm event will generate an alarm message, including the alarm type, time, severity and other relevant information. This process can be automatically completed through built-in diagnostic tools and error detection algorithms. For example, for SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) link alarm, the base station detects an abnormal heartbeat message of the SCTP underlying link and generates an alarm message.

[0052] After the alarm information is generated, it is packaged in a unified standard format, such as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) or XML (Extensible Markup Language). The standardized format helps the cloud platform to identify it, simplify the data processing process, and improve data interoperability.

[0053] S102, sending the packaged alarm information to the cloud platform of the visualization terminal, and the cloud platform stores and analyzes the alarm information, discovers the fault problem and locates the fault point.

[0054] The cloud platform includes:

[0055] Infrastructure layer: Use virtualization technology to virtualize physical hardware resources (such as servers, storage devices, etc.) into resource pools to achieve dynamic allocation and management of hardware resources.

[0056] Platform service layer: Provides basic cloud services, such as computing services, storage services, and network services. These services can be elastically expanded according to demand to meet the growing demand for base station alarm information.

[0057] Software service layer: Based on the platform service layer, it provides services such as data processing, analysis and mining. These services can help operators better understand and use alarm information.

[0058] By storing and analyzing alarm information through the cloud platform, the big data storage function of the cloud platform can be used to effectively store the alarm information, and the alarm information can be analyzed based on the cloud computing function and big data technology of the cloud platform, so as to realize fast and effective storage and analysis and processing of alarm information.

[0059] S103, display and notify the alarm information on the visualization terminal.

[0060] Specifically, alarm statistics or trend charts can be displayed on visual terminals, such as monitoring terminal interfaces, and automatic generation of alarm reports can be supported, making it easier for operators to understand and analyze the operating status of base stations, and achieving efficient storage, rapid query, security protection and in-depth analysis of base station alarm information, thus providing strong support for the stable operation of base stations.

[0061] At the same time, alarm notifications are sent to relevant personnel via SMS, email or APP push to ensure that the alarm information is handled in a timely manner.

[0062] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the method for monitoring base station alarm information includes:

[0063] S201, obtaining alarm information of a base station, and encapsulating the alarm information according to a standardized format.

[0064] S202, using a distributed storage system to disperse and store the alarm information on multiple nodes of the cloud platform.

[0065] S203: According to the characteristics of the alarm information, necessary fields of each piece of alarm information are stored in a column-based storage manner at each node.

[0066] Through the multi-node cloud platform, field column storage can achieve large-capacity storage, and the data structure is clear, which is easy to trace back and search.

[0067] S204, using data compression and deduplication technology to process batches of alarm information to reduce storage space usage.

[0068] S205, constructing a data system for the alarm information on the cloud platform.

[0069] S206, based on the data system, a big data processing framework is used to perform real-time analysis on the newly received alarm information to discover potential problems in the newly received alarm information.

[0070] Since a large amount of alarm information is stored in the cloud platform, relevant characteristics of comprehensive base station failure problems can be obtained. Therefore, based on big data processing methods, real-time analysis of newly received alarm information can be performed to discover potential problems in the alarm information and prevent them before they occur.

[0071] S207, quickly locate the fault point by combining the network topology of the base station and the newly received alarm information.

[0072] When the problem in the alarm information is identified, the network topology of the base station can be obtained based on the Internet of Things technology in combination with the alarm information, so that the fault point can be quickly located, the fault problem can be handled in time, and the normal operation of the base station can be effectively guaranteed.

[0073] The monitoring method of base station alarm information of this embodiment utilizes the characteristics of the cloud platform to disperse and store the alarm information on multiple nodes, which can improve the storage capacity. By storing the alarm information in columnar fields, a clearly structured alarm information can be obtained, which is convenient for reading, fault analysis and querying the alarm information. When new alarm information is received, a big data processing method can be used to analyze it in real time based on a large amount of stored historical alarm information, fully obtain the potential problems that may be contained in the alarm information, and combine the Internet of Things technology to obtain the network topology of the base station, quickly locate the fault point and potential risk point, and realize the rapid and effective solution of the base station fault problem, and can deal with potential problems in advance to prevent them from happening.

[0074] In one embodiment, the step of obtaining the alarm information of the base station and packaging the alarm information in a standardized format further includes:

[0075] The encapsulated alarm information is compressed and encrypted at the base station. Before data transmission, the alarm information is compressed to reduce bandwidth usage and encrypted to ensure data security. This can reduce transmission costs and improve security while ensuring data integrity.

[0076] According to the lightweight MQTT protocol, the compressed and encrypted alarm information is sent to the message queue for cache. The MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol is designed for IoT scenarios and has the characteristics of low latency, high reliability and low power consumption. It is very suitable for reporting base station alarm information.

[0077] The backend server at the base station reads the processed alarm information and reports it to the cloud platform after asynchronous processing, thereby realizing decoupling and asynchronous processing of the alarm information and improving the throughput and response speed of the cloud platform.

[0078] The processed alarm information is stored in the real-time database of the cloud platform for real-time query and analysis. The real-time database can efficiently process time series data and meet the high writing and high query requirements of alarm information.

[0079] In one embodiment, before packaging the alarm information in a standardized format, the method further includes:

[0080] Edge computing technology is used to process the alarm information and preliminarily filter out the alarm information that does not affect the operation of the base station.

[0081] At the base station end, edge computing technology is used for processing. When the base station equipment detects an abnormal situation, it will immediately perform preliminary analysis and processing locally. This can reduce the delay of data transmission and improve the real-time nature of the alarm.

[0082] Specifically, after the visualization terminal displays and notifies the alarm information, an alarm information clearing strategy is also set.

[0083] In one embodiment, the removal strategy is an automated removal strategy, comprising:

[0084] The visual terminal automatically clears historical alarm information according to a preset time period; or,

[0085] When the number of the alarm information reaches an upper threshold, the visualization terminal automatically clears the earliest alarm information among the alarm information.

[0086] In one embodiment, the removal strategy is an intelligent screening removal strategy, including:

[0087] The visualization terminal classifies the alarm information according to the severity and frequency of occurrence, and sets low-level alarms that occur frequently and do not affect the operation of the base station to be automatically cleared; or,

[0088] The visualization terminal performs intelligent analysis on the alarm information according to the machine learning algorithm, identifies the alarm information that is repeated, false alarm or does not affect the operation of the base station, and automatically clears it.

[0089] In one embodiment, the removal strategy is a manual removal strategy, including:

[0090] Manual confirmation and clearing: For important alarms or alarms that require manual intervention, the system provides the function of manually confirming and clearing. Users can choose to clear related alarms after viewing the alarm details.

[0091] Batch clearing: For a large number of alarms that need to be cleared, users can choose to clear them in batches to improve the clearing efficiency.

[0092] The introduction of a clearing strategy can effectively solve the problem of alarm information being overloaded and unable to be processed in a timely manner.

[0093] In one embodiment, the visualization terminal is also provided with an alarm clearing confirmation and feedback function, including:

[0094] Clear confirmation: After the alarm is cleared, a clear confirmation prompt is provided to ensure that the user knows that the alarm has been cleared. This prevents accidental deletion and ensures the accuracy of the alarm information.

[0095] Clearing feedback: Records the operation log of alarm clearing and provides clearing feedback so that users can understand the clearing results and clearing time.

[0096] In one embodiment, the visualization terminal further includes, before clearing the alarm information,

[0097] Back up the alarm information to be cleared;

[0098] Set up the recovery function to restore the cleared alarm information. In certain cases, users may need to restore the cleared alarm information. The system should provide the alarm data recovery function to ensure the integrity and traceability of the data.

[0099] In one embodiment, after the visualization terminal displays and notifies the alarm information, the method further includes:

[0100] A strict access control policy is set on the visualization terminal to allow only authorized users to access the alarm information, thereby improving the information security of the alarm information.

[0101] The monitoring method of base station alarm information of the embodiment of the present application provides complete and effective storage, reporting and clearing functions of alarm information. After preliminary screening, formatting, compression and encryption of the alarm information at the base station, it is first sent to the message queue, and then asynchronously processed by the background service and reported to the cloud platform. The format of the alarm information can be standardized and the response speed of the alarm information can be improved. Based on the distributed storage and big data processing framework combined with the Internet of Things technology on the cloud platform, fault points and potential risk points can be quickly and effectively located. Complete display, notification, query, clearing, backup and recovery functions are provided on the visual terminal. The method can realize the rapid reporting, effective storage, security protection, in-depth analysis and problem location of alarm information, and can promptly and effectively solve base station failure problems and prevent them before they occur.
