It should be understood that the drawings are only schematic, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto.

[0021] First, the application scenarios involved in the embodiments of the present application are introduced.

Cellular phones and smart home devices communicate without relaying communication signals through a base station.

[0027] The network device in the embodiment of the present application may be a device for communicating with a terminal device, and the network device may also be referred to as an access network device or a wireless access network device, such as a base station. The network device in the embodiment of the present application may refer to a wireless access network (RAN) node (or device) that connects a terminal device to a wireless network. Base station can broadly cover various names as follows, or replace with the following names, such as: NodeB, evolved NodeB (eNB), next generation NodeB (gNB), relay station, access point, transmission point (TRP), transmission point (TP), master station MeNB, auxiliary station SeNB, multi-standard radio (MSR) node, home base station, network controller, access node, wireless node, access point (AP), transmission node, transceiver node, baseband unit (BBU), remote radio unit (RRU), active antenna unit (AAU), remote radio head (RRH), central unit (CU), distributed unit (DU), positioning node, etc. The base station can be a macro base station, a micro base station, a relay node, a donor node or the like, or a combination thereof.

The base station can support networks with the same or different access technologies. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form used by the network equipment.

[0028] Base stations can be fixed or mobile. For example, a helicopter or drone can be configured to act as a mobile base station, and one or more cells can move based on the location of the mobile base station. In other examples, a helicopter or drone can be configured to act as a device that communicates with another base station.

The cell is the cell corresponding to the network device. The cell can belong to a macro base station or a base station corresponding to a small cell.

[0032] Non-standalone and standalone networking

[0033] The 5G communication system introduces enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) technology. eMBB has higher throughput, lower latency, and a more consistent experience. In the eMBB application scenario, the data generated by wireless communication devices will grow exponentially, and the massive data has put unprecedented demands on the communication capabilities of wireless communication devices. The two major deployment schemes of 5G, non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA), have key solutions to improve communication speed.

[0034] Due to the small coverage of 5G base stations, if you want 5G base stations to cover the same area as long-term evolution (LTE) base stations, the number of 5G base stations required is more than three times the number of LTE base stations, and the network construction cost increases sharply. Due to uneven economic development around the world and different 4G (LTE) to 5G evolution strategies in different countries, the 4G and 5G dual connectivity technology (E-UTRANR dual connectivity, ENDC) solution will be an important 5G coverage solution for a long time around the world, that is, the use of 4G and 5G dual connectivity solutions to ensure signal continuity in areas where 5G signals are unstable or not covered.

[0035] NSA refers to the deployment of 5G networks using existing 4G infrastructure. 5G carriers based on the NSA architecture only carry user data, and their control signaling is still transmitted through the 4G network. For wireless communication devices, NSA requires 4G and 5G to work simultaneously.

[0036] Base stations provide a wireless network environment for mobile terminals, enabling smart terminals such as mobile phones to connect to the Internet and make calls. In view of the need for two types of base stations to coexist during the transition period from 4G to 5G, dual-mode base stations were proposed.

[0037] Network management system (NMS) is a general management software for base stations. Its management objects can include all entities in the network, such as base stations, communication modules, applications, server systems, routers, switches, etc. It can restart base stations, add, delete, modify and check parameters, restore factory settings, etc.

[0038] The network management system usually requires separate connections for different base station devices. For dual-mode base stations, since they use two different communication chips, the network management system needs to connect to the two communication chips at the same time to manage them separately, which is inconsistent with the method of controlling a single base station separately, and there is a problem of cumbersome equipment management.

[0039] It should be noted that the above-mentioned problem of cumbersome equipment management in network management of 5G and 4G dual-mode base stations is only an example. The embodiments of the present application can be applied to any type of scenario in which cumbersome equipment management exists in network management of dual-mode base stations.

[0040] Therefore, it is necessary to design a technical solution to reduce the equipment management complexity of the network management system in the dual-mode base station.

[0041] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application proposes a network management method. The method of the embodiment of the present application is applied to a network device, and the network device is configured with a first communication module supporting a first communication standard network and a second communication module supporting a second communication standard network.

[0042] The first communication standard network can be any one of 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, and future communication networks. The second communication standard network is any one of 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, and future communication networks that is different from the first communication standard network. For example, the first communication standard network can be a 5G network, and the first communication module is a 5G communication module; the second communication standard network is a 4G network, and the second communication module is a 4G communication module.

[0043] The first communication module and the second communication module are wireless communication modules, which can realize the transmission and reception of wireless signals. The wireless communication module can generally include a baseband processor, a modem, a radio frequency transceiver, an antenna, etc. Among them, the radio frequency transceiver is used to receive and send wireless signals. The modem is used to convert between analog signals and digital signals. The baseband processor is used to process the digital part of the wireless signal, including modulation and demodulation, encoding and decoding, channel management, etc.

[0044] In some implementations, the network device may be configured with multiple communication modules, the first communication module is any communication module among the multiple communication modules that supports the first communication standard network, and the second communication module is any communication module among the multiple communication modules that is different from the first communication module and supports the second communication standard network.

[0045] Combine the following Figure 2 The network management method of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail. Figure 2 As shown, the network management method of the embodiment of the present application may mainly include steps S210 to S230, and these steps are described in detail below.

[0046] It should be pointed out that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the embodiments of the present application does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.

[0047] In step S210, a first control signaling is sent to the first communication module.

[0048] The first control signaling may be control signaling of a first communication standard network, or may be control signaling of a second communication standard network.

[0049] Specifically, the first control signaling may be sent directly to the first communication module in the same (or similar) manner as a single network device independently controlling a communication module, which helps to simplify network device management.

[0050] In step S220, the first communication module is controlled to perform the following operations: the type of the first control signaling is determined. If the first control signaling is a control signaling of the first communication standard network, the first processing unit of the first communication module processes the first control signaling. If the first control signaling is a control signaling of the second communication standard network, the first control signaling is sent to the second communication module through the first transmission channel. The first transmission channel is an information transmission channel between the first communication module and the second communication module.

[0051] The first processing unit is a unit in the first communication module that configures, controls, and executes the first control signaling. For example, the first processing unit may be a software control management (SCM) unit and / or a database management (DM) unit.

[0052] In some implementations, the first transmission channel may be an information transmission channel established between a serial interface of the first communication module and a serial interface of the second communication module, and serial communication may adapt to high bandwidth requirements of communication data. For example, the first transmission channel may be an information transmission channel established between a serializer / deserializer (SerDes) interface of the first communication module and an SGMII interface of the second communication module. The serializer / deserializer is a mainstream time-division multiplexing, point-to-point serial communication technology.

[0053] In some implementations, the first communication module is configured with a second communication standard network proxy unit. The first communication module exchanges information with the second communication module through the second communication standard network proxy unit and the first transmission channel. For example, the first communication module may be a 5G communication module, and the second communication module may be a 4G communication module. The TR69C unit may be a network management unit of the 5G communication module, and the TR69C unit may include a 4G Proxy subunit, that is, the second communication standard network proxy unit may be a TR69C-4G Proxy subunit. Information exchange may be performed with the 4G communication module through the 5G TR69C-4G Proxy subunit and the first transmission channel. In some embodiments, the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit of the 5G communication module sends the first control instruction to the network management unit of the 4G communication module through a socket and a first transmission channel.

[0054] The first communication module is responsible for determining the type of the first control signaling and selecting the vehicle as the execution subject of the first control signaling, which helps to simplify the control process and complexity of network management.

[0055] In step S230, the second communication module is controlled to process the received first control signaling.

[0056] In some implementations, the step of controlling the second communication module to process the received first control signaling may include: controlling a network management unit (NMS) of the second communication module to parse the first control signaling, and sending the parsed first control signaling to a second processing unit. The second processing unit is a unit in the second communication module that configures, and / or controls, and executes the first control signaling. For example, the first processing unit may be a software control management (SCM) unit and / or a database management (DM) unit.

[0057] In some implementations, before sending the first control signaling to the first communication module in step S210, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include: controlling the network management unit of the second communication module to send a heartbeat request to the second communication standard network agent unit of the first communication module; controlling the second communication standard network agent unit to establish a communication connection with the second communication module after receiving the heartbeat request, and maintaining the heartbeat monitoring of the second communication module. Alternatively, controlling the second communication standard network agent unit of the first communication module to send a heartbeat request to the network management unit of the second communication module; controlling the network management unit of the second communication module to establish a communication connection with the second communication standard network agent unit of the first communication module after receiving the heartbeat request, and maintaining the heartbeat monitoring of the first communication module. The heartbeat mechanism is a network communication method for detecting the online status of the other party. After the heartbeat is turned on, the first communication module and the second communication module can monitor each other's online status to ensure the persistence of the connection and the availability of the service. In this way, the first communication module and the second communication module can establish a communication connection with low power consumption and maintain a connection state.

[0058] In some implementations, the first control signaling is any one of the following control signalings: setting parameter value, obtaining parameter value, adding object, deleting object, downloading, restarting, uploading, automatically sending, and updating signaling.

[0059] The control signaling can be forwarded to the second communication module through the first communication module. In some implementations, the second communication module can also actively send information to the network device. The method of the embodiment of the present application may also include: controlling the second communication module to send a second control signaling to the first communication module through the first transmission channel, the second control signaling at least including the first alarm information; controlling the first communication module to add the received first alarm information to the global alarm information list; controlling the network device to send a notification message of the global alarm information list or the first alarm information. The first alarm information is any one of the multiple alarm information generated by the second communication module.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, a control signaling is sent to the first communication module to control the first communication module to determine the type of the first control signaling. If the first control signaling is a control signaling of the first communication standard network, the first communication module itself processes the first control signaling. If the first control signaling is a control signaling of the second communication standard network, the first communication module forwards the first control signaling to the second communication module for processing through the first transmission channel. In the embodiment of the present application, the control signaling is only sent and uploaded with the predetermined first communication module, and the control signaling operated by the second communication module is forwarded by the first communication module, which helps to simplify the process and complexity of communication network management.

[0061] The method of the embodiment of the present application is further described below in combination with some possible implementation methods of the present application. For example, the first communication module of the network device is a 5G communication module and the second communication module is a 4G communication module.

[0062] Figure 3a-3c It is an application Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a hardware circuit of a network device of the method. Figure 3a , Figure 3c As shown, the network device 300 may include: a first communication module 310 and a second communication module 320 .

[0063] The first communication module 310 is a 5G communication module, which may include a main processor (e.g., NPU), an NR modem, a radio frequency transceiver, etc., and the main processor has a SerDes1 interface. The second communication module 320 is a 4G communication module, which may include an LTE modem, a radio frequency transceiver, etc., and the LTE modem has an SGMII interface. Figure 3a As shown, a first transmission channel 330 is established between the serializer / deserializer (SerDes) interface of the main processor of the 5G communication module and the SGMII interface of the LTE modem of the 4G communication module.

[0064] Figure 4 It is an application Figure 2 A software structure diagram of a network device of the method. Figure 4 As shown, the network device 300 may include: a first communication module 310 , a second communication module 320 , and a network management center 340 .

[0065] The first communication module 310 is a 5G communication module, which may include a TR69C unit 311. The TR69C unit 311 is a network management unit in the 5G communication module. Its management objects may include all entities in the 5G communication network, and may also communicate with the 4G communication module. The TR69C unit 311 is provided with a 4G Proxy subunit (i.e., a second communication standard network proxy) and a first processing unit. The first processing unit may include a first software control management (SCM) unit 312 and a first database management unit 313. That is, the second communication standard network proxy unit may be a TR69C-4GProxy subunit. In the following text, the TR69C-4GProxy subunit may generally refer to the TR69C unit 311, and the embodiments of the present application do not distinguish between them.

[0066] The communication between the 5G communication module and the network management system can adopt the TR-069 protocol, that is, the communication between the TR69C unit 311 and the network management center 340 can adopt the TR-069 protocol. TR-069 is a technical specification initiated and developed by the Digital Subscriber's Line (DSL) Forum, numbered TR-069. TR-069 provides a general framework, message specifications, management methods and data models for managing and configuring home network devices in next-generation networks. In the TR-069 protocol, the application layer transmits data through the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), and the transport layer protocol is the transmission control protocol (TCP).

[0067] The second communication module 320 is a 4G communication module, which may include a network management (NMS) unit 321 and a second processing unit, wherein the second processing unit may include a second software control management (SCM) unit 322 and a second database management unit 323. The TR69C-4G Proxy subunit of the 5G communication module may exchange information with the network management unit 321 of the 4G communication module through the first transmission channel 330. The network management center 340 is also called a high-level entity management system (HEMS).

[0068] The main working process of the method of the embodiment of the present application may include: a startup process, a process of controlling the first communication module, and a process of controlling the second communication module. The main working process of the method of the embodiment of the present application is described below.

[0069] (I) Startup process:

[0070] After power-on, the process of the first communication module 310 is started, and the process of the second communication module 320 (ie, the 4G communication module) is started.

[0071] After the network management unit 321 of the second communication module 320 is started, it initiates a heartbeat request to the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit of the first communication module 310 (i.e., the 5G communication module). After receiving the heartbeat request, the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit of the 5G communication module establishes a communication connection with the network management unit 321 and keeps monitoring the heartbeat of the 4G communication module.

[0072] (II) Control 5G communication module process:

[0073] Establish a communication connection with the 5G communication module. Issue a 5G control instruction to the 5G communication module, that is, the first control signaling is a 5G network control instruction. After receiving the 5G control instruction, the TR69C-MainThread main thread of the 5G communication module processes it. After determining that it is a control signaling of the 5G communication network, it directly issues an execution instruction to the first software control management unit 312 or the first database management unit 313 of the 5G communication module.

[0074] (III) Control 4G communication module process:

[0075] Establish a communication connection with the 5G communication module. Issue a 4G network control instruction to the 5G communication module, that is, the first control signaling is a 4G network control instruction. After receiving the instruction, the TR69C-MainThread main thread of the 5G communication module processes it, determines that it is control information of the 4G network, and repackages the instruction information and sends it to the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit of the 5G communication module for processing. The TR69C-4G Proxy subunit of the 5G communication module sends the 4G network control instruction to the network management unit 321 in the 4G communication module through a socket. After receiving the 4G network control instruction, the network management unit 321 parses it and issues an execution instruction to the second software control management unit 322 or the second database management unit 323.

[0076] Figure 5 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a loading flow chart of a possible implementation of the method. Figure 5 As shown, the network management method of the embodiment of the present application may mainly include steps S510 to S580, and these steps are described in detail below.

[0077] In step S510, after power-on, the TR69C unit 311 of the 5G communication module reads the configuration information of the first database management unit 313.

[0078] In step S520 , the first database management unit 313 of the 5G communication module reads the configuration information of the TR69C unit 311 .

[0079] The read instruction may be, for example: g_adaptorEntity.acLTENmsIp, g_adaptorEntity.usLTENmsPort. The first communication module 310 is started.

[0080] In step S530, the TR69C-4GProxy subunit establishes a TCP connection with the network management unit 321 in the 4G communication module.

[0081] Specifically, step S530 may include step S531 to step S532.

[0082] In step S531, after the TR69C-4GProxy subunit of the 5G communication module is started, it initiates a heartbeat request to the network management unit 321 of the 4G communication module. The request instruction may be NMS_HEART_BEAT_REQ.

[0083] In step S532, after receiving the heartbeat request, the network management unit 321 sends a response message (such as NMS_HEART_BEAT_CNF) of the heartbeat request to the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit, establishes a communication connection with the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit, and keeps monitoring the heartbeat of the 5G communication module.

[0084] The above steps complete the above startup process.

[0085] In step S540, the network management center 340 sends a first control signaling to the 5G communication module.

[0086] The following is an exemplary description using the first control signaling as a parameter value setting signaling (SetParameterValues).

[0087] The TR69C unit 311 of the 5G communication module determines the type of the first control signaling. If the first control signaling is a control signaling of the 5G communication network, an execution instruction can be directly issued to the first database management unit 313.

[0088] If the first control signaling is a control signaling of a 4G network, the process proceeds to step S550.

[0089] In step S550, according to the path of the first control signaling and the corresponding value to be modified, the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit of the 5G communication module sends a setting request message to the network management unit 321 of the 4G communication module, and the request message ID may be NMS_SET_DB_REQ.

[0090] For example, when the requested path starts with LTE, the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit encapsulates the path and the corresponding value to be modified and sends them to the network management unit 321 .

[0091] In step S551 , the network management unit 321 sends a request message for setting a parameter value to the second database management unit 323 , and the request message ID may be DMSetParaValueReq.

[0092] After receiving the NMS_SET_DB_REQ message, the network management unit 321 connects to the second database management unit 323 (ie, the database) to set the parameter value.

[0093] In step S552, the network management unit 321 returns confirmation information of the setting result to the TR69C-4GProxy subunit, and the confirmation message ID may be NMS_SET_DB_CNF.

[0094] In step S560, the TR69C unit 311 sends a response message for setting parameter values ​​to the network management center 340. For example, the response message ID may be SetParameterValuesResponse.

[0095] After receiving the NMS_SET_DB_CNF confirmation message, the TR69C unit 311 of the 5G communication module parses the result and returns the result to the network management center 340.

[0096] In step S570 , the network management center 340 sends an empty Http Post request to the TR69C unit 311 .

[0097] In step S580, the connection is disconnected and the session ends.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, a control signaling is sent to the first communication module to control the first communication module to determine the type of the first control signaling. If the first control signaling is a control signaling of the first communication standard network, the first communication module itself processes the first control signaling. If the first control signaling is a control signaling of the second communication standard network, the first communication module forwards the first control signaling to the second communication module for processing through the first transmission channel. In the embodiment of the present application, the control signaling is only sent and uploaded with the predetermined first communication module, and the control signaling operated by the second communication module is forwarded by the first communication module, which helps to simplify the process and complexity of communication network management.

[0099] The network management center 340 can send various control signaling to the TR69C unit 311, including but not limited to the following signaling: set parameter values ​​(SetParameterValues), get parameter values ​​(GetParameterValues), add objects (AddObject), delete objects (DeleteObject), download (Download), restart (Reboot), upload (Upload), automatic transfer (AutonomousTransfer), and update (Upgrade) signaling.

[0100] The first control signaling may be any one of the above-mentioned multiple signalings, and the first control signaling is a control signaling of the second communication standard network (4G control signaling). Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the interaction process of the above-mentioned various control signalings is further explained below.

[0106] In step S630, after receiving the NMS_GET_DB_REQ request message, the network management unit 321 connects to the second database management unit 323, obtains the parameter value, and returns the path and the corresponding parameter value.

[0107] In step S640, the network management unit 321 encapsulates the corresponding parameter value and sends it to the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit, and returns a result, confirming that the message ID can be NMS_GET_DB_CNF.

[0108] In step S650, after receiving the confirmation message, the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit of the 5G communication module parses the result and returns the result to the network management center 340.

[0114] In step S720, the TR69C unit 311 of the 5G communication module determines the type of AddObject request signaling.

[0115] When the request path starts with LTE, it indicates that the AddObject request signaling is a control signaling of the 4G network. The TR69C-4G Proxy subunit encapsulates the path and sends it to the network management unit 321. The request message ID may be NMS_ADD_DB_REQ.

[0116] In step S730, after receiving the request message, the network management unit 321 connects to the second database management unit 323, adds an instance, and returns whether it is successful and the instance ID added when successful.

[0117] In step S740, the network management unit 321 encapsulates the result (ie, whether it is successful and the instance ID added when successful) and sends it to the TR69C-4GProxy subunit, confirming that the message ID can be NMS_ADD_DB_CNF.

[0118] In step S750, after receiving the confirmation message, the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit of the 5G communication module parses the result and returns the result to the network management center 340.

[0119] In step S760 , the network management center 340 sends an empty Http Post request to the TR69C unit 311 .

[0120] In step S770, the connection is disconnected and the session ends.

[0127] In step S830, after receiving the request message, the network management unit 321 connects to the second database management unit 323, deletes the instance, and returns whether it is successful.

[0128] In step S840, the network management unit 321 encapsulates the result (ie, whether it is successful) and sends it to the TR69C-4GProxy subunit, and confirms that the message ID can be NMS_DEL_DB_CNF.

[0129] In step S850, after receiving the confirmation message, the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit of the 5G communication module parses the result and returns the result to the network management center 340.

[0130] In step S860 , the network management center 340 sends an empty Http Post request to the TR69C unit 311 .

[0131] In step S870, the connection is disconnected and the session ends.

[0132] It is understandable that the network management center 340 may repeatedly initiate the DeleteObject signaling to add one instance (object) at a time.

[0133] (IV) Download process

[0134] That is, the first control signaling is a download signaling, and the download process may mainly include steps S910 to S991, which are described in detail below.

[0136] In step S920, the TR69C unit 311 of the 5G communication module determines the type of Download request signaling.

[0137] When the request path starts with LTE, it indicates that the Download request signaling is a control signaling of the 4G network. The TR69C-4G Proxy subunit encapsulates the path and sends it to the network management unit 321. The request message ID may be NMS_FILE_TRANS_REQ.

[0138] In step S930 , after receiving the request message, the network management unit 321 sends a file transfer request to the external entity agent (SCM_EMA) process of the second software control management unit 322 .

[0139] In step S940, SCM_EMA sends a request to the file transfer module (Filetrans) to download the file.

[0140] In step S950 , Filetrans calls a callback to return the file transfer result to SCM_EMA, and SCM_EMA returns the result to the network management unit 321 .

[0141] In step S960, the network management unit 321 encapsulates the result (i.e., whether the download is successful) and sends it to the 5G communication module, and the confirmation message ID can be NMS_TRANS_COMPLETE_IND.

[0142] In step S970, the 5G communication module sends the result to SCM_EMA.

[0143] In step S980, SCM_EMA sends the result back to TR69C unit 311, the 5G communication module receives the reply, parses the result, and returns the result to the network management center 340.

[0144] In step S990 , the network management center 340 sends an empty Http Post request to the TR69C unit 311 .

[0149] In step S1020, the TR69C unit 311 of the 5G communication module determines the type of Upload request signaling.

[0150] To upload files, all the related files of 4G communication module and 5G communication module need to be uploaded, so the upload request will be sent to 4G communication module and 5G communication module. The 5G communication module adopts the original upload process.

[0151] When uploading a 4G file, the request path starts with LTE, indicating that the Upload request signaling is a control signaling of the 4G network.

[0162] In step S1110, the network management center 340 sends a reboot request to the 5G communication module.

[0163] Restarting the device requires restarting both the 4G communication module and the 5G communication module, so the Reboot request will be sent to the 4G communication module and the 5G communication module.

[0164] In step S1120, the 5G communication module uses the original restart process.

[0165] In step S1130, the TR69C-4GProxy subunit of the 5G communication module sends a Reboot request message to the network management unit 321, and the request message ID may be NMS_REBOOT_REQ.

[0167] In step S1150 , SCM_EMA notifies the second software control management unit 322 to restart.

[0168] (VII) Automatic sending process

[0169] That is, the first control signaling is an automatic transfer signaling.

[0174] In step S1250 , the network management center 340 sends an empty Http Post request to the TR69C unit 311 .

[0175] In step S1260, the connection is disconnected and the session ends.

[0176] (VIII) Update process

[0177] That is, the first control signaling is an update signaling. The update process may mainly include steps S1310 to S1391, which are described in detail below.

[0178] In step S1310, the network management center 340 sends an Upgrade request to the 5G communication module.

[0179] In step S1320, the TR69C unit 311 of the 5G communication module determines the type of Upgrade request signaling.

[0180] After identifying that the file name prefix is ​​4G and the file type is an upgrade package, the TR69C-4G Proxy subunit sends a request to the network management unit 321 , and the request message ID may be NMS_FIRMWARE_REQ.

[0181] In step S1330 , after receiving the request message, the network management unit 321 sends a file transfer request of the upgrade package type to the external entity agent (SCM_EMA) process of the second software control management unit 322 .

[0182] In step S1340, SCM_EMA sends a request to the file transfer module (Filetrans) to download the file.

[0183] In step S1350, after the download is successful, Filetrans notifies the second software control management unit 322 to perform a system upgrade and saves the file transfer ID into a file.

[0184] In step S1360, after the system is upgraded, the network management unit 321 is notified of the result.

[0185] In step S1370, the network management unit 321 encapsulates the result and sends it to the 5G communication module, and the message ID may be NMS_FIRMWARE_CNF.

[0186] In step S1380, the 5G communication module receives the reply, parses the result, and returns the result to the network management center 340.

[0187] In step S1390 , the network management center 340 sends an empty Http Post request to the TR69C unit 311 .

[0188] In step S1391, the connection is disconnected and the session ends.

[0189] The above describes forwarding the control signaling from the first communication module to the second communication module. In some implementations, the second communication module may also actively send information to the network device, such as reporting alarm information.

[0190] (IX) Alarm upload process

[0191] That is, the second control signaling is an alarm upload signaling. The alarm upload process may mainly include steps S1410 to S1470, which are described in detail below.

[0192] In step S1410 , the 4G communication module generates an alarm, and the external entity agent (SCM_EMA) process of the second software control management unit 322 notifies the network management unit 321 of the alarm information.

[0193] In step S1420, after receiving the message, the network management unit 321 encapsulates the message and sends it to the 5G communication module. The message ID may be NMS_ALARM_CHANGE_REQ.

[0194] In step S1430, the 5G communication module receives the message and parses it as an alarm message. The TR69C unit 311 sends the alarm list to the alarm processing submodule of the TR69C unit 311 through the message pipe. The alarm processing submodule adds the alarm list to the global alarm notification list and then triggers the notification (Inform) process.

[0195] In step S1440, the network device 300 sends an Inform message, and the parameter list carries parameter information of the alarm.

[0196] In step S1450, the network management center 340 returns a notification response message (Inform Response).

[0197] In step S1460, the network management center 340 sends an empty Http Post request.

[0199] In the embodiment of the present application, a control signaling is sent to the first communication module to control the first communication module to determine the type of the first control signaling. If the first control signaling is a control signaling of the first communication standard network, the first communication module itself processes the first control signaling.

In the embodiment of the present application, the control signaling is only sent and uploaded with the predetermined first communication module, and the control signaling operated by the second communication module is forwarded by the first communication module, which helps to simplify the process and complexity of communication network management.
