[0004] In the existing methods, OMC (Operations and Maintenance Center) can only upgrade the devices one by one. At present, OMC upgrades the devices, whether they are near-end devices or far-end devices, by using a one-to-one upgrading mode, which has the following disadvantages:

[0006] (2) When upgrading the near-end and far-end devices at the same time, a large amount of upgrading data causes congestion of the transmission link between the near-end and the OMC and congestion of the CPRI link between the near-end and the far-end unit, and finally increases the risk of upgrading failure.

[0007] (3) When the same near-end unit is expanded, the OMC cannot timely perceive the existence of the expanded unit, which leads to inconsistent versions, abnormal services, increases the amount of customer complaints, and affects the user experience. SUMMARY

[0014] The access unit checks the registration of the remote terminal, reads the MD5 value of the upgrade file, and sends an upgrade request message to the corresponding remote terminal with the value;

Therefore, the features limited by "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 The repeater optical fiber distribution network management system of the embodiment of the present application is composed of a network management center (NMC), a monitoring management center (OMC), and a radio frequency feeding digital distribution system.

[0038] The network management center (NMC) is located at the top of the system, communicates with the monitoring management center (OMC) below through a northbound interface. Figure 1

[0039] The monitoring management center (OMC) is in the middle position, is connected with the radio frequency feeding digital distribution system below through a southbound interface, and simultaneously exchanges data with the access unit through a mobile communication network.

[0040] The radio frequency feeding digital distribution system part is composed of multiple levels and units, that is, includes a near end and a far end. The monitoring management center is connected with a plurality of near ends, the near end is connected with a plurality of far ends, the near end includes an access unit, and the far end includes an expansion unit and a far end unit.

[0041] The access unit is the entrance of the radio frequency feeding digital distribution system, is connected with the monitoring management center (OMC) above through an optical fiber, and is connected with the expansion unit.

[0042] The expansion unit is connected with a plurality of expansion units below the access unit, and these expansion units are further connected with the far end unit through an optical fiber or a network cable / optical fiber.

[0043] ​Remote unit: located at the bottom layer of the RF feed-in digital distribution system, each expansion unit can connect multiple remote units, which are the end nodes of the system, responsible for specific signal processing and transmission.

[0044] The repeater optical fiber distribution network management system realizes effective management and signal transmission from the network management center to the end remote unit through hierarchical management and distributed architecture. The monitoring and management center is responsible for overall monitoring and management, and the access unit, expansion unit and remote unit cooperate to complete the functions of RF signal feeding and digital distribution.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 When upgrading some modules of the RF feed-in digital distribution system, the upgrade process is as follows:

[0046] (1) When the access unit (near end) is powered on and started, the 4G / 5G Cat1 data card establishes a PS domain transmission channel, and initiates a login report to the monitoring and management center OMC through the MCP-A / MCP-C protocol.

[0047] (2) When the monitoring and management center OMC confirms that the access unit (near end) is legal and valid, it responds to the login report success through the MCP-A / MCP-C protocol.

[0048] (3) At the same time, when the expansion unit / remote unit 1 (remote 1) is powered on and started, a CPRI transmission channel is established, and a registration request message is initiated to the access unit (near end) through the TCP protocol.

[0049] (4) The access unit (near end) replies to the registration response message, and at this time the expansion unit / remote unit 1 (remote 1) is registered successfully.

[0050] (5) Similarly, when the expansion unit / remote unit N (remote N) is powered on and started, a CPRI transmission channel is established, and a registration request message is initiated to the access unit (near end) through the TCP protocol.

[0051] (6) The access unit (near end) replies to the registration response message, and at this time the expansion unit / remote unit N (remote N) is registered successfully. In this process, multiple expansion units / remote units (remote) connected to the access unit (near end) successively establish connection with the access unit (near end) through the same mechanism.

[0052] (7) When the monitoring and management center OMC needs to upgrade a certain access unit (near end) and its connected expansion unit / remote unit (remote), the OMC only needs to initiate an upgrade request to the access unit (near end).

[0053] (8) The access unit (near end) confirms that the upgrade conditions are met, and responds to the upgrade confirmation to the monitoring and management center OMC.

[0054] (9) The OMC transmits the upgrade file data to the access unit (near end) through the MCP-B / FTP, and the access unit (near end) waits for the upgrade file transmission to be completed and saved in the non-volatile memory.

[0055] (10) The access unit (near end) checks whether the upgrade file is transmitted completely through MD5.

[0056] (11) If the MD5 check fails, the access unit (near end) responds to the OMC with an upgrade failure; otherwise, the access unit (near end) responds to the OMC with an upgrade success.

[0057] (12) The access unit (near end) decompresses the upgrade file, checks the related configuration, and confirms whether the access unit needs to be upgraded. If yes, the access unit (near end) is upgraded in version and restarted.

[0058] (13) The access unit (near end) checks the registration of the extension unit / remote unit (remote end), reads the MD5 value of the upgrade file, and sends an upgrade request message to the extension unit / remote unit (remote end) with the value.

[0059] (14) The extension unit / remote unit (remote end) checks the MD5 value of the upgrade file of itself, and compares it with the MD5 value sent in (13). If they are equal, it is considered that the unit has upgraded the file and does not need to be upgraded; otherwise, the extension unit / remote unit needs to be upgraded and responds to the upgrade confirmation.

[0060] (15) The access unit (near end) transmits the upgrade file to the extension unit / remote unit (remote end) in (14) through the FTP.

[0061] (16) The access unit (near end) sends a start upgrade request message to the extension unit / remote unit (remote end) in (14).

[0062] (17) The extension unit / remote unit (remote end) in (14) checks whether the upgrade file is transmitted completely through MD5. If the file is complete, the extension unit / remote unit (remote end) decompresses the upgrade file, checks the related configuration, and confirms whether the unit needs to be upgraded. If yes, the extension unit / remote unit (remote end) is upgraded in version.

[0063] (18) If the file is not complete, the extension unit / remote unit (remote end) responds to the access unit (near end) with an upgrade failure message; otherwise, the extension unit / remote unit (remote end) responds to the access unit (near end) with an upgrade success message and restarts the unit after the upgrade is successful.

[0064] (19)-(24), other extension unit / remote unit (remote) using the same steps (13)-(18) to upgrade confirmation.

[0065] As an embodiment, when the access unit (near end) upgrades the extension unit / remote unit (remote), considering the particularity of the CPRI interface, and in order to improve the efficiency of the upgrade and the robustness and stability of the entire system, the application adopts the following strategies:

[0066] (1) The access unit (near end) monitors the delay (RTT), packet loss rate (LOS), and jitter (Jitter) of each transmission link in real time through the heartbeat mechanism with each extension unit / remote unit (remote).

[0067] (2) The parameters of each transmission link are sorted and ranked, and the robustness of the entire CPRI transmission is determined based on the results for hierarchical processing.

[0068] First level: When the packet loss rate (LOS) of all transmission links is 0, the average jitter (Jitter) is less than 10ms, and the delay (RTT) is less than 50ms, the access unit (near end) can upgrade up to three extension units / remote units (remote) at the same time.

[0069] Second level: When the packet loss rate (LOS) of all transmission links is less than 3%, the average jitter (Jitter) is less than 15ms, and the delay (RTT) is less than 70ms, the access unit (near end) can upgrade up to two extension units / remote units (remote) at the same time.

[0070] Third level: In other cases, the access unit (near end) can upgrade up to one extension unit / remote unit (remote) at the same time.

[0071] (3) When there is an extension unit / remote unit (remote) that fails to upgrade, the upgrade priority of the unit is reduced to ensure that other device units are upgraded first. When the other device units are upgraded, the previously failed device units are upgraded one by one.

[0072] The upgrade method of the repeater optical fiber distribution network management system of the embodiment of the application comprises:

[0077] Distal upgrade step: the access unit transmits the upgrade file to the distal end that responds to the upgrade confirmation through the FTP mode, and sends a start upgrade request message to the distal end that responds to the upgrade confirmation; the distal end checks whether the upgrade file is transmitted completely through MD5, if the file is not complete, the distal end responds to the upgrade failure message to the access unit; if the file is complete, the distal end decompresses the upgrade file, checks the related configuration, confirms whether the upgrade is needed, if needed, the distal end performs the version upgrade, and responds to the upgrade success message to the access unit and restarts after the upgrade succeeds.

[0078] As an implementation mode, the upgrade confirmation step further comprises the following steps before the upgrade confirmation step:

[0082] As an implementation mode, the access unit adopts the following strategy when upgrading the distal end:

[0083] The access unit monitors the time delay, packet loss rate and jitter of each transmission link in real time through the heartbeat mechanism with each remote terminal, sorts each transmission link according to the time delay, packet loss rate and jitter, determines the robustness of the entire CPRI transmission according to the sorting result, and performs hierarchical processing; when there is a remote terminal with upgrade failure, the upgrade priority of the remote terminal is reduced to ensure that other remote terminals are upgraded preferentially; when the upgrade of other remote terminals is completed, the remote terminal with previous upgrade failure is upgraded in a one-to-one manner.

[0084] As an implementation, the access unit performs hierarchical processing according to the following levels:

[0085] The first level: when the packet loss rate of all transmission links is 0, the average jitter is less than 10 ms, and the time delay is less than 50 ms, the access unit upgrades at most three remote terminals at the same time in this case;

[0086] The second level: when the packet loss rate of all transmission links is less than 3%, the average jitter is less than 15 ms, and the time delay is less than 70 ms, the access unit upgrades at most two remote terminals at the same time in this case;

The method of claim 6, wherein the upgrade of the repeater optical fiber distribution network system is performed by, The upgrade confirmation process also includes: Remote login steps: When the remote device is powered on, it establishes a CPRI transmission channel and sends a registration request message to the access unit via the TCP protocol; the access unit replies with a registration response message.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein the upgrade of the repeater optical fiber distribution network system is performed by, When upgrading remote devices, the access unit adopts the following strategy: The access unit monitors the time delay, packet loss rate and jitter of each transmission link in real time through the heartbeat mechanism with each remote terminal, sorts each transmission link according to the time delay, packet loss rate and jitter, determines the robustness of the whole CPRI transmission according to the sorting result, and performs hierarchical processing; when there is a remote terminal with upgrade failure, the upgrade priority of the remote terminal is reduced to ensure that other remote terminals are upgraded preferentially; when the upgrade of other remote terminals is completed, the remote terminal with previous upgrade failure is upgraded in a one-to-one manner.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the method further comprises: providing a new optical fiber distribution network for the repeater system; and connecting the new optical fiber distribution network to the existing optical fiber distribution network. 10 The access unit performs hierarchical processing according to the following levels: First level: when the packet loss rate of all transmission links is 0, the average jitter is less than 10 ms, and the time delay is less than 50 ms, the access unit upgrades at most three remote terminals simultaneously in this case; Second level: when the packet loss rate of all transmission links is less than 3%, the average jitter is less than 15 ms, and the time delay is less than 70 ms, the access unit upgrades at most two remote terminals simultaneously in this case; Third level: in other cases, the access unit upgrades at most one remote terminal simultaneously.
