Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure belongs to the technical field of base station dynamic environment monitoring, and particularly relates to a base station dynamic environment monitoring system and method. Background Art

[0002] In the development of the communication industry, as the core infrastructure of the wireless network, the monitoring and management technology of base stations has gradually become an important field of scientific research and application. With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, from 2G to 3G, 4G, and 5G, the coverage range and data transmission capacity of communication networks have been significantly improved. As the basic unit of the mobile communication network, the base station is responsible for providing wireless signal coverage and data transmission services. The effectiveness of its monitoring system directly affects the service quality of the network and the user experience. The main purpose of base station monitoring is to ensure the normal operation and high availability of the base station, and its importance is mainly reflected in the following aspects: (1) Fault detection and response: During operation, the base station may be affected by environmental factors (such as extreme weather) or equipment failures. Through real-time monitoring, faults can be detected early and corresponding measures can be taken.

[0003] (2) Maintenance cost control: Efficient monitoring can detect problems in a timely manner, reduce the frequency of manual inspections, and thus reduce maintenance costs.

[0004] (3) Service quality guarantee: By monitoring the key parameters of the base station (such as power supply status, temperature, humidity, etc.), the service quality of the network can be effectively guaranteed, and user satisfaction can be improved.

[0005] In the monitoring system with a cloud-edge-end architecture, as the end device, the dynamic environment monitoring gateway monitors the power environment of the entire base station to ensure that the base station continuously provides communication services stably. The main monitoring objects include: (1) Environmental monitoring: Real-time monitoring of environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed to ensure that the base station equipment operates in a suitable environment.

[0006] (2) Power supply monitoring: Monitoring the status of the base station power supply, including the operation of the commercial power and backup power supply, to prevent service interruption caused by power failures.

[0007] (3) Monitoring of the status of other devices: Real-time monitoring of the operation status of other devices related to the power environment of the base station (such as access control, power metering, air conditioning systems, etc.) to ensure the normal operation of the devices.

[0008] (4) Data transmission and communication: Based on various communication protocols (such as HTTP, MQTT, etc.), remote data transmission is realized to ensure that monitoring information can be reported in a timely manner. Stability and online rate are extremely important for monitoring tasks. It is necessary to further strengthen the communication stability of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway and improve the online rate of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway to improve the quality of network maintenance.

[0009] The dynamic loop monitoring gateway monitoring system is the core component of the base station dynamic loop monitoring, mainly used to monitor key parameters such as the power supply, environment, and equipment status of the base station. The design goal of the existing dynamic loop monitoring gateway monitoring technology solution is to ensure the stable operation of the base station while ensuring that key data can be reported in a timely manner so that the monitoring center can quickly respond to any abnormal situation. The following is a specific description of the technical solution: 1. Data reporting through a single communication channel Existing dynamic loop monitoring gateway monitoring systems generally use a single communication channel for data transmission. The dynamic loop monitoring gateway uploads the collected base station status data (such as power status, environmental temperature, humidity, equipment operation status, etc.) to the monitoring center through this communication channel; 2. Static data collection and regular reporting The dynamic loop monitoring gateway monitoring system usually adopts the mechanism of static data collection and regular reporting. The dynamic loop monitoring gateway will collect the status data of the base station at preset time intervals and upload it to the monitoring center through the communication channel; 3. Internal status monitoring of the dynamic loop monitoring gateway The dynamic loop monitoring gateway will regularly perform internal status checks, including the health status of hardware modules, the stability of software operation, and memory usage; 4. Abnormality detection and alarm The dynamic loop monitoring gateway monitoring system is built with the function of abnormality detection and alarm. By performing real-time analysis on the collected data, it detects abnormal situations during the operation of the base station. Once an abnormality is detected, the dynamic loop monitoring gateway will immediately generate an alarm message and report it to the monitoring center through the communication channel. The monitoring center will quickly take corresponding measures according to the preset alarm levels and processing procedures, such as sending technical personnel to the site for handling, starting standby equipment, etc.; 5. Remote management and configuration Existing dynamic loop monitoring gateway monitoring systems support the function of remote management and configuration. The monitoring center can configure and manage the dynamic loop monitoring gateway remotely. This method not only improves the management efficiency but also reduces the need for manual site visits. The monitoring center can adjust the data collection frequency, alarm threshold, communication parameters, etc. of the dynamic loop monitoring gateway through remote configuration to ensure that the dynamic loop monitoring gateway can adapt to the monitoring requirements of different base stations.

[0010] The existing dynamic loop monitoring gateway monitoring has the following technical problems: 1) Defects of a single communication channel: High risk of communication failure: Once the communication channel is interrupted or fails, the dynamic loop monitoring gateway will be unable to continue reporting data, resulting in the monitoring center being unable to obtain the real-time status of the base station. Lack of redundancy mechanism: The single channel lacks backup, and there is no alternative solution in case of communication link failure, and the reliability and stability of the system are poor; 2) The self - monitoring ability of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway is limited. For example: It is difficult for the dynamic environment monitoring gateway to self - detect faults. When the dynamic environment monitoring gateway itself fails (such as hardware damage, software anomaly), the system cannot detect and report it in time. Due to the lack of a status monitoring mechanism for the dynamic environment monitoring gateway, the system cannot detect in time that the dynamic environment monitoring gateway has failed, resulting in a long - term monitoring blind area. It relies on external diagnosis: Usually, it requires manual or external systems to diagnose the faults of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway, resulting in a long response time and low maintenance efficiency; 3) There is a lack of power monitoring function. Power failure is a very serious fault in the operation of the base station, but the existing dynamic environment monitoring gateway cannot report this fault because the dynamic environment monitoring gateway itself also needs power to operate. Therefore, in the case of a power failure, the monitoring center may not be able to know in time that the base station has lost power, and thus cannot take emergency measures. Summary of the Invention

[0011] To solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a base - station dynamic environment monitoring system and method.

Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0027] This solution realizes the comprehensive dynamic loop monitoring function of the base station by introducing a primary and standby dual-channel wireless communication module, combining the dynamic loop monitoring gateway and the supporting monitoring platform. The network topology structure is asFigure 1 As shown, the working principle is as Figure 2 shown: The primary and backup dual-channel communication module provides network services and positioning services for the dynamic environment monitoring gateway device, and completes the reverse monitoring and independent reporting functions for the dynamic environment monitoring gateway.

[0028] Among them, the communication service and location service adopt an integrated module with an independent core chip, enabling the device to obtain efficient and stable communication services, accurate and reliable positioning services, and corresponding network service support simultaneously. The network service provided by the module itself can ensure the stable and reliable connection between the communication module and the external network, and guarantee the online status and data transmission quality of the device.

[0029] The system disclosed in this application includes: 1. A dynamic environment monitoring gateway, which is used to collect the dynamic environment data of the base station and report it; 2. A primary and backup dual-channel communication module, which is electrically connected to the dynamic environment monitoring gateway, and its functions provided for the dynamic environment monitoring gateway include: 1) Communication function: The primary and backup dual-channel module has the function of wireless communication through the 4G full-network communication network, providing communication capabilities for the dynamic environment monitoring gateway, and supporting the communication systems of China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom.

[0030] 2) Positioning function: Integrated with a GPS / Beidou positioning module, the dynamic environment monitoring gateway can obtain its own geographical location information in real time to ensure the accurate positioning of the base station.

[0031] 3) Reverse monitoring function for the status of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway: 3.1) Traffic monitoring: The dual-channel module analyzes and judges the operating status of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway by monitoring the uplink and downlink communication data traffic of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway, and reports the fault information to the platform when it is judged as a running fault.

[0032] 3.2) Communication interaction: The dual-channel module and the dynamic environment monitoring gateway communicate through the ECM system using the Restful interface. The dual-channel module judges the operating status of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway according to the interface data information and reports it to the platform.

[0033] 4) Provide dual communication functions and power monitoring functions for the complex dynamic environment monitoring gateway, including: 4.1) Dual communication function: The dual-channel module adopts a dual-card single-standby communication module, which has the functions of wireless network quality detection and independent public network dialing, and has the function of selecting a higher-quality wireless network to camp on. When the card in use fails to communicate normally, it can automatically switch to the other card. (Dual-card single-standby network optimization) The dynamic loop monitoring gateway communicates with the platform through the communication channels provided by the primary and secondary dual-channel communication modules, and reports the collected data; the dual-channel module itself communicates with the platform to report its own status of the primary and secondary dual-channel communication modules and the fault information of the dynamic loop monitoring gateway. (Dual communication channels) 4.2) Power supply monitoring function: The dual-channel module is equipped with a backup power supply. When the external power supply is cut off, the dual-channel module can work with the backup power supply for a period of time and report the power-off alarm to the platform.

[0034] 5) Restart mechanism: The dual-channel module has the function of soft restart and hard reset controlled by the control command of the dynamic loop monitoring gateway, and has the function of autonomous soft restart and hard reset when the module itself fails. In the case of a dynamic loop monitoring gateway failure caused by abnormal communication or abnormal software operation, self-recovery is achieved through the restart mechanism.

[0035] The dual-channel module adopts a 4G communication module with an Open solution. The open standards and interfaces enable developers to freely select and integrate different hardware and software components according to specific business requirements, thus accelerating the application development process. The development team can quickly adapt to market changes, perform function iteration, and improve the competitiveness of products.

[0036] With the progress of technology and the continuous changes in the market, users can easily upgrade and expand the system, add new function modules without affecting the stability of the existing system. This feature enables users to flexibly respond to new business challenges and technological trends without large-scale system reconstruction, thus achieving long-term return on investment.

[0037] 3. The dynamic loop monitoring gateway platform is communicatively connected to the primary and secondary dual-channel communication modules, and is used to receive the base station data reported by the dynamic loop monitoring gateway to achieve dynamic loop monitoring. It is used to monitor the operating status of the dynamic loop monitoring gateway; 4. The communication module platform is used to receive the status reported by the dual-channel module and the fault information of the dynamic loop monitoring gateway, and cooperate with the operation monitoring system for processing.

[0038] 5. The operation monitoring system is used to integrate the data of the dynamic loop monitoring gateway platform and the communication module platform to achieve global monitoring of the dynamic loop of the base station.

[0039] In summary, the present disclosure can solve the following existing technical problems: 1. Solve the vulnerability of a single communication channel The configuration of a single communication channel in the existing system has significant vulnerabilities. Once the communication channel fails, the critical data of the base station cannot be uploaded to the monitoring center, resulting in ineffective monitoring. Therefore, this solution will introduce a primary and backup dual-channel communication mechanism. The specific measures include: adopting a dual-SIM single-standby communication module of the open solution, and switching to the other SIM card when one SIM card has a network failure or cannot communicate normally for other reasons. Dual communication channels: The dynamic environment monitoring gateway reports the original monitoring data to the platform through the dual-channel module, and the dual-channel module itself also reports its operating status and the status of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway to the platform.

[0040] 2. Enhance the self-monitoring ability of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway The existing dynamic environment monitoring gateway has insufficient self-monitoring ability, and the system cannot detect the abnormal operation of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway itself in a timely manner. This solution will enhance the built-in self-monitoring function of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway. The specific measures include: monitoring the operating status of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway according to the communication traffic of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway or the communication interface between the dynamic environment monitoring gateways, and reporting the fault information to the platform when the dynamic environment monitoring gateway has an operating fault.

[0041] 3. Solve the deficiency of power-off monitoring The existing system lacks real-time monitoring of the power-off state. When a power-off occurs at the base station, the monitoring center cannot obtain relevant information in a timely manner, resulting in a lag in emergency measures. This solution will introduce a real-time power-off monitoring function. The specific measures include: by real-time monitoring the power supply status, when the external power supply is cut off, the dual-channel module works with the backup power supply to generate a power-off alarm message and report it to the platform. The monitoring center can quickly initiate emergency response measures based on the alarm message, such as enabling the backup power supply, dispatching maintenance personnel, etc., to ensure the continuity of the base station service.

[0042] Based on the above system, the present disclosure also proposes a method for monitoring the dynamic environment of a base station, as Figure 3 shown, including: Collecting the dynamic environment data of the base station by using the dynamic environment monitoring gateway and reporting it; Monitoring the uplink and downlink traffic of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway by using the primary and backup dual-channel communication module to judge its operating status. When it is judged to have an operating fault, reporting the fault information of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway; Receiving and processing the dynamic environment data of the base station reported by the dynamic environment monitoring gateway platform by using the dynamic environment monitoring gateway platform; Receiving and processing the self-status and the fault information of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway reported by the primary and backup dual-channel communication module by using the communication module platform; Integrating the data of the dynamic environment monitoring gateway platform and the communication module platform by using the operation monitoring system to achieve global monitoring of the dynamic environment of the base station.

[0043] Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
