[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0030] In order to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the technical terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained as follows:

[0031] MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output): Multiple-Input Multiple-Output antenna system. MIMO is a wireless communication technology that significantly improves the rate and reliability of wireless data transmission by using multiple antennas to send and receive signals. MIMO systems can simultaneously transmit multiple data streams through different antennas, leveraging spatial diversity and spatial multiplexing to enhance signal quality and increase channel capacity.

[0032] LTE (Long Time Evolution): 4G Long-Term Evolution technology. LTE is one of the core technologies of the fourth-generation mobile communication system (4G), aiming to provide faster data transmission rates and lower latency to support various broadband data services. Compared with 3G, LTE technology has higher bandwidth, more flexible spectrum usage, and better network efficiency, enabling users to enjoy faster Internet speeds and higher-quality audio and video communications.

[0033] NR (New Radio): 5G new radio access technology. NR is the radio access technology standard for the fifth-generation mobile communication system (5G), which provides a brand-new radio frame structure, wider bandwidth, higher spectral efficiency, and lower latency. The design goal of NR technology is to support ultra-high-speed data transmission, massive device connections, and mission-critical services, and is applicable to various application scenarios from enhanced mobile broadband to massive Internet of Things and ultra-reliable low-latency communication.

[0034] PON (Passive Optical Network): Passive Optical Network. PON is a fiber-to-the-home network architecture that utilizes the high transmission capacity and long-distance transmission ability of optical fibers to distribute the signals of a fiber optic line to multiple users through a passive optical splitter without using active electronic devices at the splitting point. PON technology saves power and maintenance costs while providing high-speed data transmission capabilities.

[0035] ONU (Optical Network Unit): Optical Network Unit. ONU is the user-side device in a passive optical network (PON). It is located on the user side and is responsible for converting optical signals into electrical signals so that terminal devices such as computers, telephones, or televisions can use them. At the same time, it also converts electrical signals into optical signals and sends them back to the network. ONU is a key node for user access in a PON network.

[0036] LAN (Local Area Network): Local Area Network. LAN is a network used to connect computers and other network devices within a relatively small geographical area, such as the network within a home, office, or school. LAN usually uses Ethernet technology, allowing high-speed data exchange between devices and supporting resource sharing, file transfer, and printing services, etc.

[0037] PHY (Physical): The physical layer of the port, which is the first layer in the OSI (Open System Interconnection) model, is responsible for providing the physical transmission of bitstreams (sequences of 0s and 1s). In communication protocols, the PHY layer defines physical processes such as signal encoding and decoding, data modulation and demodulation, signal transmission and reception, etc., and is the basis for realizing data transmission.

[0038] MAC (Media Access Control): The MAC layer of media access control is part of the second layer (data link layer) in the OSI model, mainly responsible for controlling the access method of the network medium, that is, determining when, how, and which devices can use the network medium for data transmission. The tasks of the MAC layer include address management, data encapsulation into frames, error detection, data transmission and reception control, etc., and it is a key layer to ensure smooth network communication and data integrity.

[0039] Ethernet Protocol: It is a computer network communication protocol widely used in local area networks (LANs). It follows the IEEE 802.3 standard and uses baseband transmission without being modulated to other frequency bands. Data exists in the form of binary digital signals and is transmitted in a broadcast manner through electrical signals (in copper media) or optical signals (in fiber media). Other nodes detect the destination address in the data frame to achieve communication between the source node and the destination node. The Ethernet data frame is the basic unit of data transmission. A typical Ethernet frame includes a preamble, destination address, source address, type / length field, data part, and frame check sequence (FCS). Ethernet can be divided into standard Ethernet (10 Mbit / s), fast Ethernet (100 Mbit / s), gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit / s), and 10-gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbit / s) according to different maximum transmission rates.

[0040] With the development of the mobile Internet, mobile data traffic shows an explosive growth trend. More than 70% of mobile data services are distributed indoors, that is, in the indoor home environment. In this regard, in the 5G construction, operators focus on the indoor coverage construction requirements to comprehensively improve the indoor coverage effect.

[0041] In the related art, the indoor distribution system and the traditional optical network terminal (ONT) network are an effective solution for 5G to improve the mobile communication environment indoors. The indoor distribution system mainly includes integrated small base station systems, expandable small station systems, frequency shift MIMO indoor distribution systems, etc., which are deployed in indoor public areas. The ordinary ONT provides fiber-to-the-home and is deployed in indoor home environments. Since the indoor distribution system is deployed in indoor public areas and the wireless signal penetrates multiple reinforced concrete walls, the indoor coverage effect is not good. At the same time, the outdoor base station can only achieve shallow coverage indoors, so the call quality in the home environment is poor. To solve this problem, in the related art, the signal emission source is sunk into the home environment, and the traditional ONT and the integrated small base station are jointly deployed to achieve full coverage of the indoor environment.

[0042] However, the ONT device in the related art uses a wired backhaul method such as PON broadband to connect to the terminal integrated management system on the fixed network side for remote management. The base station device mostly uses wireless transmission and wired connections such as PON broadband to transmit network management data to the small station gateway, and then the remote network management platform on the wireless network side manages the base station device, and at the same time completes the management and configuration management of the gateway device. That is to say, when the ONT device and the integrated small station device in the related art are jointly deployed, IP addresses need to be assigned to the fixed network side and the wireless side respectively for multi-layer routing and forwarding, which not only wastes transmission resources and network management resources, but also is not conducive to realizing the network integration management of fixed-mobile convergence devices.

[0043] To solve the above problems, relevant solutions are provided in the embodiments of the present application, which are described in detail below.

[0044] According to the embodiments of the present application, a method embodiment of an indoor base station management method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than here.

[0045] The method embodiments provided by the embodiments of the present application can be executed on a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device. Figure 1 The architecture diagram of an indoor base station management system for implementing the indoor base station management method is shown. As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the system includes an optical network unit 10, a pico base station 12, and a network management platform 14. Among them, the pico base station 12 is connected to the terminal device through a wired communication line or a wireless communication network; the optical network unit 10 is used to receive Ethernet data packets. The optical network unit 10 and the pico base station 12 are encapsulated in the same indoor communication device. The Ethernet data packet includes an uplink data packet sent by the pico base station 12 and a downlink data packet sent by the network management platform 14. Both the uplink data packet and the downlink data packet include a type field. When the Ethernet data packet is an uplink data packet, a first management method for the pico base station is determined according to the first field value of the type field in the uplink data packet. The first management method includes that the optical network unit 10 manages the pico base station 12 according to the Ethernet data packet, or the network management platform 14 manages the optical network unit 10 and the pico base station 12 according to the Ethernet data packet. When the Ethernet data packet is a downlink data packet, a second management method is determined according to the second field value of the type field in the downlink data packet. The second management method includes that the optical network unit 10 performs local processing on the optical network unit 10 according to the downlink data packet, or the pico base station 12 processes the pico base station 12 according to the downlink data packet.

[0046] As an alternative implementation, the above optical network unit 10 is also called an optical modem. The above pico base station 12 is an integrated small base station set indoors, which can be connected to the optical network unit 10 through a communication line and integrated in a communication device. The above network management platform 14 includes a network management platform on the wireless side.

[0047] Under the above operating environment, the embodiment of the present application provides an indoor base station management method. As Figure 2 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0048] Step S202, the optical network unit receives an Ethernet data packet. The optical network unit and the pico base station are encapsulated in the same indoor communication device. The Ethernet data packet includes an uplink data packet sent by the pico base station and a downlink data packet sent by the network management platform. Both the uplink data packet and the downlink data packet include a type field.

[0049] In the technical solution provided in step S202, the optical network unit and the pico base station are connected through a communication line, and the optical network unit and the network management platform are connected through a wireless network. It should be noted that the optical network unit in the embodiment of the present application can also be called an optical modem module. The pico base station can also be called a base station module or an integrated small base station module.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 3As shown, the optical network unit and the pico base station can be integrated into a communication device, enabling the communication device to provide both WiFi communication and mobile network communication functions such as 4G / 5G. Moreover, data interaction can be carried out between the optical network unit module and the pico base station module in the communication device through a wired line.

[0051] In addition, from Figure 3 it can be seen that, compared with the related art where there is no connection relationship between the optical network unit and the pico base station, and the optical network unit and the pico base station respectively interact with the core network through a PON network, an optical fiber network or a wireless network, in the method and communication device provided in this application, the pico base station will realize interaction with the core network or the network management platform through the optical network unit.

[0052] Optionally, as Figure 3 shown, by deeply integrating the integrated small base station module (pico base station) with the optical modem module (optical network unit), a fixed-mobile integrated terminal can be created to meet the indoor wired and wireless Internet access needs of users. The optical modem module mainly realizes functions such as the ONU protocol stack, switching / routing, optical modem side services, WiFi PHY, LAN PHY, and network management interface. The integrated small base station module mainly realizes functions such as network interfaces, security tunnels, L1 / L2 protocol stacks, PHY, transmit power links, and network management interfaces. And from Figure 3 it can be seen that the optical modem and the base station use gigabit network ports for internal communication. The optical modem module provides backhaul carrier for the base station module. The management data of the optical modem is transmitted back to the Integrated Terminal Management System (ITMS) through the GE (Gigabit Ethernet) port to realize remote control of fixed network devices, mainly including remote status query, fault management, device configuration, and software upgrade of the home gateway. The base station data is then forwarded by the optical modem module to the GE port, and then transmitted back to the pico base station gateway through a PON broadband or wireless connection. Then, the network management data is distributed to the remote network management platform of the wireless network through the northbound interface protocol, and the pico station device is accessed and managed through the pico station gateway to realize functions such as automatic station opening, configuration management, alarm management, performance management, and security management of the device. At the same time, the gateway device is also managed and configured.

[0053] As an optional implementation manner, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, after adopting the method and communication device provided in this application, the communication device can provide a WiFi network for electronic devices such as computers, set-top boxes, and cameras, and can also provide mobile communication networks such as 4G / 5G for mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones.

[0054] In addition, from Figure 5As can be seen, the ONU module can provide a backhaul carrier for the base station module. The management data of the ONU module is transmitted back to the terminal integrated management system through the GE port to realize remote control of fixed network devices, mainly including remote status query, fault management, device configuration, software upgrade, etc. of the home gateway. The base station data of the base station module is forwarded by the ONU module to the GE port, and then transmitted back to the small base station gateway through PON broadband or wireless connection. Then, the network management data is distributed to the remote network management platform of the wireless network through the northbound interface protocol, and the small station equipment is accessed and managed through the small station gateway to realize automatic station opening, configuration management, alarm management, performance management, security management, etc. of the equipment. At the same time, the gateway device is also managed and configured. Therefore, through the communication device and method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the access requirements of various types of terminals such as 4G, 5G, and WiFi are solved, and it is applicable to small indoor scenarios and small commercial space scenarios such as family residences, villas, shops, business halls, offices, express hotels, and small supermarkets, thereby solving the related complaints of users regarding the poor signal quality of indoor wireless coverage.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, since the fixed-mobile convergence terminal mainly includes an ONU module and a base station module, and the ONU module and the base station module can communicate internally. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a custom Ethernet message method based on the standard Ethernet transmission protocol. Specifically, the present application newly defines a type field on the basis of the already included type field, and realizes partial control of the base station on the ONU side through the type field value, such as the base station reset status, alarm information, cell status information, etc. The management operation information such as automatic station opening, configuration management, alarm management, performance management, and security management of the base station needs to be forwarded by the ONU module to the GE port and reported to the remote central network management platform according to the type field value. The relevant information of the custom Ethernet data protocol is shown in the following table:

[0056]

[0057]

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, for the base station module, its custom Ethernet transmission frame format and the number of occupied bits are as Figure 6 shown. A new local processing type field and a remote processing type field are defined. The information such as alarm information, cell status information, and base station reset information of the base station that needs local processing is encapsulated in the data format field of the Ethernet data packet, and the corresponding local processing type field is filled. The data such as automatic station opening, configuration management of the base station, and other data that needs to be processed by the remote central network management platform is encapsulated in the data format field of the Ethernet data packet, and the message type processed by the remote platform is filled correspondingly.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, for the optical modem module, a new base station management type field and an optical modem management type field are defined, and the custom Ethernet transmission frame format and the occupied bit numbers are as follows Figure 7 shown. Since the optical modem is directly connected to the GE port and is directly connected to the large network without forwarding, it is only necessary to identify the message type on the base station side, and correspondingly fill in the base station management type field and the optical modem management type field, re-encapsulate, and then perform data transmission. Among them, the preamble is a fixed value, and the destination address and source address are filled according to the board addresses of the base station, the optical modem and their communication devices. The type field is filled according to the custom type field of the present application and other standard Ethernet high-layer protocol types to be transmitted, and the FCS (Frame Check Sequence) is filled according to the actually calculated FCS value.

[0060] Optionally, on the basis of the types already included, two new type fields are defined, namely the base station type field and the optical modem type field. And for the base station type field, a local processing type field and a remote processing type field are respectively defined, and then transmitted to the optical modem module side by means of wired transmission. On the optical modem module side, the optical modem module processes the data packet, and then re-encapsulates it, and uniformly transmits it to the remote network management platform via the PON broadband. The network management platform performs unified parsing, identification and management, realizing the unified local and remote management of the optical modem module and the base station module.

[0061] As an optional implementation manner, the steps for the optical network unit to receive an Ethernet data packet include: parsing and verifying the Ethernet data packet; and discarding the Ethernet data packet when the parsing and verification result shows that the Ethernet data packet is a stray data packet or a scrambled data packet.

[0062] Optionally, as Figure 1 shown, the communication between the large network and the integrated small base station is via the PON broadband to the GE port, and then transmitted through the optical modem module and then communicated with the integrated small base station by means of a wired method such as a gigabit network port. For the data packets transmitted between the base station module and the large network, the CPU of the optical modem module will perform filtering, identification and processing. The CPU of the optical modem module will first verify the data, filter out stray packets and scrambled packets, optimize the data link, and prevent stray packets from occupying the bandwidth. Then identify the uplink and downlink data packets, monitor the status of the uplink and downlink data packets, and perform packet splitting processing.

[0063] Step S204, when the Ethernet data packet is an uplink data packet, determine the first management method for the pico base station according to the first field value of the type field in the uplink data packet, where the first management method includes that the optical network unit manages the pico base station according to the Ethernet data packet, or the network management platform manages the optical network unit and the pico base station according to the Ethernet data packet;

[0064] In the technical solution provided in step S204, the step of determining the first management method for the pico base station according to the first field value of the type field in the Ethernet data packet includes: when the type of the uplink data packet indicated by the first field value is local processing by the optical network unit, determining that the first management method is that the optical network unit manages the pico base station according to the Ethernet data packet; when the type of the uplink data packet indicated by the first field value is local processing by the optical network unit, determining that the first management method is that the network management platform manages the optical network unit and the pico base station according to the Ethernet data packet.

[0065] As an alternative implementation, the method further includes: when it is determined that the first management method is that the network management platform manages the optical network unit and the pico base station according to the uplink data packet, the optical network unit replaces the first field value in the uplink data packet with a third field value, and repackages the uplink data packet, where the third field value is used to indicate that the network management platform generates a management instruction for managing the pico base station according to the repackaged uplink data packet; sending the repackaged uplink data packet to the network management platform, and receiving a management data packet sent by the network management platform, where the management instruction is carried in the management data packet.

[0066] Optionally, for the uplink data packet sent by the base station module, the CPU of the optical network terminal (ONT) module parses the data packet, and then determines whether it is processed locally by the ONT or by the remote network management platform according to the message type field value of the custom Ethernet packet. For the local platform processing type, the ONT module performs corresponding reset operations, alarm monitoring, and cell status monitoring on the base station according to the base station reset status, alarm status, and cell establishment status parsed from the data packet. For the remote platform processing type, the ONT module replaces the type field value with the base station management type field, then repackages the data packet, and sends it to the wide area network via the Gigabit Ethernet (GE) port to the Passive Optical Network (PON), and the network management platform parses the Ethernet data packet and performs corresponding management on the base station module and the ONT module respectively according to the type field.

[0067] Step S206, when the Ethernet data packet is a downlink data packet, determining a second management method according to the second field value of the type field in the downlink data packet, where the second management method includes local processing of the optical network unit by the optical network unit according to the downlink data packet, or processing of the pico base station by the pico base station according to the downlink data packet.

[0068] In the technical solution provided in step S206, the step of determining the second management method according to the second field value of the type field in the downlink data packet includes: when the second field value indicates that the management instruction in the downlink data packet is an instruction for the optical network unit, determining that the second management method is that the optical network unit performs local processing on the optical network unit according to the downlink data packet; when the second field value indicates that the management instruction in the downlink data packet is an instruction for the optical network unit, determining that the second management method is that the pico base station processes the pico base station according to the downlink data packet.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the method further includes: when it is determined that the second management method is that the pico base station processes the pico base station according to the downlink data packet, the optical network unit replaces the field value of the type field with a fourth field value, and repackages the downlink data packet, where the fourth field value is used to indicate that the management instruction in the repackaged downlink data packet is an instruction generated by the network management platform; forwarding the repackaged downlink data packet to the pico base station.

[0070] Optionally, for the downlink data packet sent by the large network, the CPU of the optical network module parses the data packet, and then performs corresponding processing according to the type indicated by the field value of the type field. For example, for the optical network management type, local processing of the optical network module is performed. For the base station management type, "base station management type" is replaced with "remote processing type", encapsulated in the Ethernet format, and sent to the base station module side through the network port to manage the base station module.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the integrated pico base station module will detect information such as base station alarms and resets, collect network management messages on the base station side, and encapsulate and add corresponding type fields according to the custom Ethernet protocol format. Then, the base station CPU sends Ethernet data packets through a wired connection such as a network port to report the base station status. The processing flow of the optical network CPU after receiving the data packet is as Figure 8 shown, including the following steps:

[0072] Step S802, the optical network CPU receives the Ethernet data packet, parses, verifies, filters, and splits the data packet. If it is a stray packet or the like, it is discarded without processing, and then the up and down link data packets are split. If it is an uplink data packet, it jumps to step S804. If it is a downlink data packet, it jumps to step S810;

[0073] Step S804, the CPU of the optical network module parses the data packet on the base station side, and determines whether it is local processing of the optical network platform or remote network management platform processing according to the type of the custom Ethernet message. If it is local processing of the optical network platform, it jumps to step S806, otherwise it jumps to step S808;

[0074] Step S806: For the local platform processing type, the CPU of the optical network terminal (ONT) module performs corresponding reset operations, alarm monitoring, and cell status monitoring on the base station based on the base station reset status, alarm status, cell establishment status, etc. parsed from the data packet.

[0075] Step S808: For the remote platform processing type, the ONT module replaces the type field value with the base station management type field, then repackages the data packet, and sends it to the network management platform of the large network via the GE port to the PON broadband. After that, the remote network management platform parses the Ethernet data packet and manages the base station module and the ONT module respectively according to the type field.

[0076] Optionally, for the management data on the ONT side and the base station side, the remote network management platform can add the corresponding type field, perform Ethernet encapsulation, and send it down to the ONT.

[0077] Step S810: The CPU of the ONT module parses the data packet from the remote network management side.

[0078] Step S812: According to the custom type, determine whether it is ONT side management or base station side management. If it is the ONT management type field, execute Step S814; if it is the base station network management type field, execute Step S816.

[0079] Step S814: Implement local ONT management, and the process ends.

[0080] Step S816: The CPU of the ONT module processes the base station module.

[0081] Optionally, when managing the base station module, the CPU of the ONT module fills in the remote processing type field and repackages the base station management data with Ethernet again. Then the CPU of the ONT module forwards the data packet to the base station side via wired transmission methods such as network ports.

[0082] Then the CPU of the base station module parses the Ethernet packet from the ONT and performs corresponding processing according to the type field value.

[0083] By using an optical network unit to receive Ethernet data packets, where the optical network unit and the pico base station are encapsulated in the same indoor communication device, the Ethernet data packets include uplink data packets sent by the pico base station and downlink data packets sent by the network management platform, and both the uplink data packets and the downlink data packets include type fields; when the Ethernet data packet is an uplink data packet, determine the first management method for the pico base station according to the first field value of the type field in the uplink data packet, where the first management method includes the optical network unit managing the pico base station according to the Ethernet data packet, or the network management platform managing the optical network unit and the pico base station according to the Ethernet data packet; when the Ethernet data packet is a downlink data packet, determine the second management method according to the second field value of the type field in the downlink data packet, where the second management method includes the optical network unit performing local processing on the optical network unit according to the downlink data packet, or the pico base station processing the pico base station according to the downlink data packet. By reflecting the receiving device of the data packet through the type field in the custom data packet and having the optical network unit forward it to the corresponding device or execute the corresponding processing method according to the content in the data packet, the purpose of simplifying the network architecture, reducing IP address allocation and multi-layer routing forwarding is achieved, thus realizing the technical effect of unified and efficient management of the fixed-mobile convergence device, and further solving the technical problem of wasting transmission resources and network management resources caused by the need to separately allocate IP addresses for the fixed network side and the wireless side for multi-layer routing and forwarding in the related art.

[0085] The embodiment of the present application also provides a data packet processing mechanism applicable to the fixed-mobile convergence system. The local optical network terminal CPU is used as the local data processing unit to filter, identify and process the data packets between the large network and the integrated small base station device, and then uniformly transmit them through the gigabit network interface, thereby reducing bandwidth occupancy and improving the effectiveness of data transmission.

[0086] The embodiment of the present application also provides a network architecture applicable to network integration management of the fixed-mobile convergence device. By adding and identifying new type field values in the custom Ethernet protocol, the optical network terminal device on the fixed network side and the integrated base station device on the wireless network side are respectively identified in a network management platform, so as to respectively realize the integrated management of the fixed network device and the wireless network device in the same network management platform, which is beneficial to optimizing network management resources.
