[0023] The present application provides a base station configuration method, a network element management system, and a storage medium. The base station configuration method can be applied to an element management system (EMS), which communicates with multiple base stations to obtain service-related information of the multiple base stations, thereby enabling the base stations to be configured based on the obtained service-related information.

[0024] The following embodiments of the present application are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.

[0025] Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a flow chart of a base station configuration method provided in this application.

[0026] As shown in FIG1 , the base station configuration method includes steps S101 to S103 .

[0027] Step S101: Acquire service association information of multiple base stations.

[0028] In some embodiments, service association information is used to indicate service data associated with a base station. For example, base station a processes service data of service type aa, and base station c processes service data of service type bb. By obtaining the service association information of a base station, it is possible to determine which service type the base station is associated with or coupled to. In some embodiments, a network element management system manages multiple base stations, thereby being able to obtain the service association information of the base stations.

[0029] In some embodiments, the network element management system includes a preset communication interface, which is used to communicate with the base station; obtaining service association information of multiple base stations includes: obtaining the service association information of the base stations based on the preset interface.

[0030] In some embodiments, there is a preset communication interface between the network element management system and the base station. The network element management system can implement FCAPS (Fault / Configuration / Accounting / Performance / Security Management) management on the base station through this communication interface. Therefore, when the network element management system obtains the service-related information of the base station, it can reuse the communication interface to obtain the service-related information of the base station without opening additional interfaces, thereby effectively reducing the load and complexity of the base station.

[0031] The network element management system determines whether there is an association relationship between the base stations by obtaining the service association information of the base stations, and determines the base station federation according to the association relationship between the base stations.

[0032] Step S102: Allocate multiple base stations to at least one base station federation according to service association information of each base station to obtain base station federation information. The base station federation includes at least one base station. The base station federation information is used to indicate the base station federation to which each base station belongs.

[0033] In some embodiments, multiple base stations are assigned to at least one base station federation based on the service association information of each base station, the establishment of the base station federation is completed, and the base station federation information is determined. It should be understood that the base station federation includes at least one base station, and the base station federation information is used to indicate the base station federation to which each base station belongs.

[0034] By establishing a base station federation, base stations can share computing power within the base station federation. At the same time, the base station federation can also be used to process business data associated with the base station federation, thereby improving the resource utilization of the base station and the processing rate of business data.

[0035] In some embodiments, multiple base stations are assigned to at least one base station federation based on the service association information of each base station to obtain base station federation information, including: determining whether there is a service association between the base stations based on the service association information of each base station; assigning base stations with service associations to the same base station federation; and determining the base station federation information based on the base station identifier corresponding to the base station assigned to the base station federation.

[0036] In some embodiments, whether there is a business association between the base stations is determined based on the business association information corresponding to each base station, and the base stations with business associations are divided into the same base station federation to associate the base station federation with the business type, so that when processing business data, the base station federation that is adapted to the business type of the business data can be used to process the business data first, thereby improving the resource utilization of the base station.

[0037] In some embodiments, after the allocation of base stations is completed, the base station federation information is determined based on the base station identifier corresponding to the base station allocated to each base station federation. It can be understood that the base station federation information, for example, includes base station federation A including base station a and base station b; base station federation B including base station d and base station e.

[0038] In some embodiments, determining whether there is a business association between the base stations is based on the business association information of each base station, including: determining whether there is a business association between the base stations based on the location relationship, historical business data, at least one of the master-slave relationship and the business association information of each base station; wherein the location distance between the base stations with business association is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold, the similarity of the processed historical business data is less than or equal to the data similarity threshold, and / or there is a master-slave relationship, and the correlation of the business association information is greater than or equal to the business correlation threshold.

[0039] In some implementations, the network element management system can determine whether there is a service association between base stations by using at least one of the location relationship between base stations, historical service data of base stations, master-slave relationship between base stations, and service association information of base stations.

[0040] In some embodiments, the position relationship may be used to indicate the location topology of the base station, or may be used to indicate the geographical location of the base station. In some embodiments, the master-slave relationship between the corresponding base stations may also be determined based on the location topology relationship between the base stations.

[0041] During implementation, when the correlation degree of service association information between two base stations is greater than or equal to a service correlation threshold, it is determined that the two base stations have a service correlation. The correlation degree of the service correlation information can be determined based on service information such as the associated service types. When the correlation degree of the service association information between two base stations is high, it is determined that the two base stations can process service data of the same or similar service types. Furthermore, when the location distance between the two base stations is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold and the similarity of the processed historical service data is less than or equal to a data similarity threshold, it is determined that the two base stations have a service correlation. Furthermore, based on the master-slave relationship between the two base stations, a corresponding master base station and / or slave base station is determined. It is determined whether the distance between the corresponding master base station and / or slave base station and one of the two base stations determined to have a service correlation is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold, and / or whether the similarity of the processed historical service data is less than or equal to a data similarity threshold, and / or whether the correlation degree of the service association information is greater than or equal to the service correlation threshold. If at least one of the above conditions is met, it is determined that the master base station and / or slave base station also has a service correlation with the two base stations determined to have a service correlation.

[0042] It should be understood that the specific conditions for determining whether there is a business association between base stations can be set according to actual conditions. For example, when one of the above conditions is met, it is determined that the base stations have an association relationship, or the above four conditions must be met at the same time to determine that the base stations have an association relationship. This application does not limit the conditions for determining whether there is a business association between base stations and the number of conditions that need to be met.

[0043] In other embodiments, operating information of the base station is obtained, and the operating information includes load conditions and health. In the process of allocating base stations, indicator data such as the load conditions and health of the base stations also need to be considered. For example, it is determined that base station a and base station b have a business association, and based on the operating information of base station a, it is determined that base station a is in an abnormal state. Then, in the process of allocating base stations, base station b is allocated to base station federation A, and base station a is not allocated, thereby realizing flexible configuration of the base station federation.

[0044] In some embodiments, after allocating multiple base stations to at least one base station federation, the method also includes: adjusting the base station to which the base station federation is allocated through a preset communication interface according to the operating information of the base station, and updating the base station federation information to send the updated base station federation information to the computing power scheduling center.

[0045] In some embodiments, after the establishment of the base station federation is completed, the computing power scheduling center can implement computing power scheduling in the base station federation. However, after a period of operation, the base station may fail, resulting in an inability to continue to provide computing power. If the base station continues to remain in the base station federation, more resources of the computing power scheduling center will be consumed when performing computing power scheduling.

[0046] The network element management system establishes a communication connection with the base station through a preset communication interface and obtains the base station's operating information in real time. Based on the base station's operating information, such as when the health is less than or equal to the protection threshold and / or the load is greater than or equal to the load threshold, it determines that the base station is no longer suitable, that is, it cannot provide computing power, and removes the base station from the base station federation in which it is located. The scope of the base station federation can be flexibly adjusted according to the status of the base station to ensure the computing power within the base station federation and achieve the purpose of protecting the base station.

[0047] In some embodiments, the network element management system is communicatively connected to the artificial intelligence computing system, and the method further includes: obtaining operating information of the base station; sending the operating information and / or business-related information to the artificial intelligence computing system; receiving base station allocation recommendation information determined by the artificial intelligence computing system based on the operating information and / or business-related information; allocating multiple base stations to at least one base station federation according to the business-related information of each base station to obtain base station federation information, including: allocating multiple base stations to at least one base station federation according to the base station allocation recommendation information to obtain base station federation information; or adjusting the base stations allocated to the base station federation according to the base station allocation recommendation information, and updating the base station federation information.

[0048] In some embodiments, the network element management system also provides an open OpenAPI interface to the outside world, so that users or external systems can flexibly call the interface to set up and adjust the base station federation. For example, the artificial intelligence computing system communicates with the network element management system through the interface to implement the allocation of base stations and / or the adjustment of base station federation based on the artificial intelligence computing system without the need for human monitoring and intervention.

[0049] During implementation, the network element management system transmits the acquired base station operation information and / or service-related information to an artificial intelligence computing system. The artificial intelligence computing system includes a trained learning model capable of learning and determining, based on the base station operation information and / or service-related information, relationships between base stations, relationships between base stations and service data, and the like, to extract base stations that are closely related and suitable for resource sharing, thereby determining base station allocation recommendation information, enabling the network element management system to complete base station allocation and establish a base station federation based on the base station allocation recommendation information. In other implementations, after the base station federation is established, the artificial intelligence system continuously monitors the established base station federation using data acquired from the network element management system. When the scope of the base station federation, i.e., the base stations included in the base station federation, needs to be adjusted, the artificial intelligence system transmits the base station allocation recommendation information to the network element management system, enabling the network element management system to adjust the scope of the base station federation based on the base station allocation recommendation information, eliminating the need for manual processing and enabling flexible adjustment of the scope of the base station federation.

[0050] It should be understood that the artificial intelligence system can also adjust the base station federation based on the load status, health status and other indicator data in the base station operation information sent by the network element management system, and update the base station federation information after adjusting the scope of the base station federation.

[0051] Step S103: Send the base station federation information to the computing power scheduling center so that when the computing power scheduling center obtains the business data to be processed, it determines the target base station federation that has a business association with the business data to be processed in at least one base station federation based on the base station federation information, and processes the business data to be processed based on the base stations in the target base station federation.

[0052] In some embodiments, after determining the base station federation information, the base station federation information is sent to the computing power scheduling center so that the computing power scheduling center completes the registration of the base station federation. The computing power scheduling center is configured to, upon receiving service data to be processed, determine, based on the base station federation information, a target base station federation in at least one base station federation that has a service association with the service data to be processed, and process the service data to be processed based on the base stations in the target base station federation.

[0053] Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a scenario diagram of a base station configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0054] As shown in Figure 2, the configuration of multiple base station federations is completed, and the base stations in the base station federations are connected to the network element management system and the computing power scheduling center. After the configuration of the base station federation is completed, the network element management system can also collect the operating information of the base stations in real time, such as base station status, faults and performance statistics, to realize base station monitoring; based on this, the computing power scheduling center can obtain the data monitored by the network element management system according to actual needs, so that the computing power scheduling center can design rich scheduling strategies based on the data obtained from the network element management system, thereby realizing accurate computing power scheduling.

[0055] During the implementation process, the network element management system sends the base station federation information to the computing power scheduling center so that the computing power scheduling center can complete the registration of the base station computing power information. The base station federation information includes multiple base stations contained in a base station federation, so that the computing power scheduling information can register the base station computing power information in batches, avoiding the base stations from registering computing power with the computing power scheduling center one by one, simplifying the computing power registration process and reducing the interface complexity of the computing power scheduling center.

[0056] In other implementation processes, the network element management system also sends the updated base station federation information to the computing power scheduling center, so that the computing power scheduling center adjusts the registration of the base station computing power information of the base station federation according to the updated base station federation information to achieve adjustment of the base station federation scope.

[0057] In some embodiments, the method also includes determining the configuration information of the base station based on the base station federation information, the configuration information including the base station identifier, master-slave relationship, cluster identifier, cluster base station list, and network setting parameters of the base station; sending the configuration information to the base station corresponding to the base station identifier based on the base station identifier, so that the base station establishes a communication channel with the base station indicated by the master-slave relationship and / or the cluster base station list, and the communication channel is used to transmit business data.

[0058] In some embodiments, after the computing power scheduling center completes the establishment of the base station federation, in response to the successful establishment information returned by the computing power scheduling center, the configuration information of each base station is determined based on the base station federation information, and the configuration information is sent to the corresponding base station based on the base station identifier corresponding to each base station.

[0059] During the implementation process, the configuration information includes but is not limited to base station identification, master-slave relationship, cluster identification, cluster base station list, and network setting parameters, wherein the base station identification is used to determine the base station that sends the configuration information, the master-slave relationship is used to indicate the base station that has a master-slave relationship with the base station, the cluster identification is used to indicate the identification of the base station federation to which the base station belongs, the cluster base station list is used to indicate the base station identification of the base stations belonging to the same base station federation, and the network setting parameters are used to instruct the base station to adjust the corresponding parameters to the network setting parameters so that the base station completes the network configuration.

[0060] In some embodiments, after receiving the configuration information, the base station performs parameter adjustment processing according to the network setting parameters in the configuration information, and determines the base station with a master-slave relationship and / or the base station indicated in the cluster base station list, and establishes a communication channel with the base station with a master-slave relationship and / or the base station indicated in the cluster base station list, so that the base station can communicate with the base station with a master-slave relationship and / or the base station indicated in the cluster base station list through the established communication channel, thereby improving data transmission and processing efficiency. In addition, when the computing power scheduling center performs computing power scheduling, the business data that has been distributed to the base station does not need to be re-uploaded and distributed, and can be directly transmitted and processed between base stations, thereby improving business data processing efficiency and base station resource utilization.

[0061] The above-mentioned embodiment provides a method for configuring a base station applied to a network element management system. By configuring a base station federation according to the service association information of the base station, the base stations with service associations are formed into a base station federation, so that the base stations share computing power within the base station federation. Therefore, when processing the service data to be processed, it is possible to determine the target base station federation that has a service association or coupling relationship with the service data to be processed, and by flexibly scheduling the base stations within the base station federation, the computing power required to process the service data to be processed is provided, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the utilization rate of base station resources and increasing the service data processing rate.

[0062] Please refer to FIG3 , which is a flowchart of a business data processing method provided in this application.

[0063] The present application also provides a business data processing method, which is applied to a computing power scheduling center. The computing power scheduling center is used to complete the configuration of the base station federation according to any embodiment of the base station configuration method provided above. The business data processing method includes steps S201 to S203.

[0064] Step S201: Obtain business data to be processed.

[0065] In some implementations, the business data to be processed is obtained, and the processing of the business data is completed through computing power provided by the base station.

[0066] Step S202: Determine, based on the service data to be processed, a target base station federation that has a service association with the service data to be processed, where the target base station federation includes a plurality of base stations for processing the service data to be processed.

[0067] In some implementations, after the service data to be processed is acquired, a target base station federation having a service association with the service data to be processed is determined, so that the service data to be processed is processed by base stations in the target federation.

[0068] During implementation, the service type of the service data to be processed is determined, a base station federation with a service association with the service data to be processed is identified as a target base station federation, and the service data to be processed is processed based on the base stations in the target base station federation, thereby enabling the base stations to process associated or coupled services and improving base station resource utilization. Whether there is a service association between the base station federation and the service data to be processed is determined based on the service type corresponding to the service data that can be processed by the base stations in the base station federation and the service type of the service data to be processed.

[0069] Step S203: Process the service data to be processed based on the base stations in the target base station federation.

[0070] In some implementations, after the target base station federation is determined, the service data is processed by computing power provided by the base stations in the target base station federation, that is, the service data is processed by the base stations in the target base station federation.

[0071] In some embodiments, processing the business data to be processed based on the base stations in the target base station federation includes: determining the target base station for processing the business to be processed in the target base station federation based on the operation information of the base stations in the target base station federation and / or the business association information of the base stations in the target base station federation; distributing the business data to be processed to the target base station so that the target base station processes the business data to be processed.

[0072] In some embodiments, after determining the target base station federation, the operating information of the base stations in the target base station federation and / or the business association information of the base stations in the target base station federation are determined to determine the target base station for processing the business to be processed in the target base station federation. It can be understood that the purpose of information processing balance is achieved through the operating information of the base station, and the target base station having a business association or coupling relationship with the business type of the business data to be processed is determined through the similarity between the business association information of the base station and the business type of the business data to be processed, thereby improving data processing efficiency and base station resource utilization.

[0073] In some embodiments, the operating information of the base station can be obtained and determined in real time through the network element management system, and the computing power scheduling center determines the operating information of the base station through the monitoring information sent by the network element management system; the computing power scheduling center can also determine the business-related information of the base station based on the base station federation information previously sent by the network element management system and / or the monitoring information sent in real time.

[0074] In some embodiments, by determining target base stations in the target base station federation that have a strong business association with the business data to be processed, data processing efficiency is improved, and when these target base stations cannot meet the processing requirements, computing power can be scheduled in a timely manner to other base stations in the base station federation where these target base stations are located to meet the processing requirements of the business data.

[0075] After the target base station is determined, the service data to be processed is distributed to the target base station, so that the target base station processes the distributed service data.

[0076] In some embodiments, after distributing the service data to be processed to the target base station, the method also includes: obtaining the working data corresponding to the target base station when processing the service data to be processed; determining a data distribution instruction based on the working data, the data distribution instruction is used to instruct the target base station to distribute the sub-service data to be processed to the idle base station of the target base station federation; sending the data distribution instruction to the target base station so that the target base station distributes the sub-service data to be processed to the idle base station based on the communication channel established with the idle base station.

[0077] In some embodiments, when the target base station processes the distributed business data, the working data of the target base station is obtained in real time, and the data distribution instructions are determined based on the working data. It can be understood that when it is determined based on the working data that the target base station has been running for too long or is overloaded, the data distribution instructions can be determined in a timely manner, and part or all of the business data can be distributed to idle base stations belonging to the same target base station federation, thereby reducing the load of the overloaded target base station and realizing computing power scheduling in the target base station federation.

[0078] During the implementation process, communication channels are established between base stations in the base station federation, and part or all of the business data can be transmitted through the established communication channels, thereby improving the data transmission rate and the resource utilization of the base stations.

[0079] The business data processing method provided in the above embodiment is applied to the computing power scheduling center. By determining the target base station federation associated with the business data to be processed based on the business data to be processed, and completing the processing of the business data to be processed through the base stations in the target base station federation, it can provide base stations that have business associations with the business data to be processed for data processing, and during the data processing process, it can flexibly configure computing power to process business data, thereby improving data processing efficiency and base station resource utilization.

[0080] Please refer to FIG4 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a data processing system provided in this application.
