Base station topology data configuration method and device, storage medium and electronic device

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application is based on Chinese patent application CN202310801564.4, filed on June 30, 2023, entitled “Topology data configuration method and device, storage medium and electronic device for base station”, and claims the priority of the patent application. All the disclosed contents are incorporated into this application by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and device for configuring topology data of a base station, a storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0004] Wireless network base stations, especially 4G / 5G / 6G base stations, are typically broken down into different modules to meet diverse application requirements and adapt to different scenarios. The most typical decomposition is the baseband unit (BBU) and remote radio unit (RRU). RRU types include active antenna units (AAUs) with built-in antennas and pico remote radio units (pRRUs). The BBU typically includes multiple single-board modules, such as a main control board responsible for overall control and management, a baseband board responsible for baseband data processing, and a power board responsible for power supply and management. RRUs are typically independent node devices. In new indoor distributed systems, they can also be broken down into a convergence switching module and multiple RF sub-units. These multiple boards and node devices are connected via optical fiber, network cables, and other cables to form a complete base station.

[0005] A base station consists of a combination of modules, including multiple boards and device nodes. In addition to hardware installation and wiring, software configuration is also required to define the topological connectivity of each module. This is necessary to create the baseband and radio frequency resources required to form a wireless cell. The current industry standard practice is to manually configure and combine equipment based on hardware installation and wiring, ultimately generating the configuration data for the base station and its wireless cells. After a base station is operational, if a board needs to be replaced, the corresponding configuration data must be manually updated, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.

[0023] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0024] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the embodiments of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0025] The method embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device. Taking operation on a computer terminal as an example, FIG1 is a hardware structure block diagram of a computer terminal of a method for configuring topological data of a base station in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG1 , the computer terminal may include one or more (only one is shown in FIG1 ) processors 102 (the processor 102 may include but is not limited to a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA) and a memory 104 for storing data, wherein the computer terminal may also include a transmission device 106 and an input / output device 108 for communication functions. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the structure shown in FIG1 is for illustration only and does not limit the structure of the computer terminal.

The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, that is, implementing the above-mentioned method. The memory 104 may include a high-speed random access memory and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some instances, the memory 104 may further include a memory remotely located relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories may be connected to the computer terminal via a network. Examples of the above-mentioned network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0027] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or transmit data via a network.

In one embodiment, the transmission device 106 includes a network interface controller (NIC), which can be connected to other network devices via a base station to enable communication with the Internet. In another embodiment, the transmission device 106 may be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0028] In this embodiment, a method for configuring topology data of a base station running on the above-mentioned computer terminal is provided. In this embodiment, the base station includes a baseband unit (BBU) and a remote radio unit (RRU). FIG2 is a flow chart of topology data configuration of a base station in this embodiment. As shown in FIG2, the flow includes the following steps:

[0029] Step S202: The main control board of the baseband unit sends a business card acquisition request to each functional board and radio frequency unit of the baseband unit;

[0030] In actual implementation, the types of the RRU may include remote radio unit AAU and micro radio unit pRRU.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment, the main control board of the baseband unit sends a business card acquisition request to each functional board of the baseband unit, including: the main control board detects and identifies the slot where the functional board has been inserted in the baseband unit, and sends a business card acquisition request to the functional board inserted in the slot.

[0032] In an exemplary embodiment, the main control board of the baseband unit sends a request to obtain a business card to the radio frequency unit, including: the functional board detects and identifies whether the optoelectronic signal interface used to connect to the radio frequency unit is connected to the radio frequency unit; when the optoelectronic signal interface is connected to the radio frequency unit, the functional board forwards the request to obtain a business card to the optoelectronic signal interface connected to the radio frequency unit.

[0033] In the actual implementation process, the main control board detects and identifies whether the functional board is inserted into the slot, and identifies the slot where the functional board is inserted; at the same time, the main control board detects whether the photoelectric signal interface of the functional board is connected to the radio frequency unit, and identifies the photoelectric signal interface connected to the radio frequency unit. Its detection and identification methods are conventional technical means in this field and will not be described here. In the actual implementation process, the functional board can be inserted into the slot located on the backplane, and the functional board can also have a photoelectric signal interface, which is connected to the radio frequency unit. Among them, not all functional boards have a photoelectric signal interface.

[0034] In the actual implementation process, the main control board does not directly send the business card request to the radio frequency unit. The function board forwards it to the radio frequency unit. It should be clear that only the function board connected to the radio frequency unit can forward the business card request to the radio frequency unit connected to the function board.

[0035] In actual implementation, multiple radio frequency units can be cascaded. The functional board connected to the radio frequency unit forwards the business card acquisition request to the first-level radio frequency unit, and the first-level radio frequency unit forwards the business card acquisition request to the second-level radio frequency unit, and so on, forwarding step by step.

[0036] Step S204: The main control board receives the business card information reported by each functional board and the radio frequency unit;

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the business card information of the functional board includes at least one of the following: the name of the functional board, the type of the functional board, the interface capability of the functional board, and the service capability of the functional board; the business card information of the radio frequency unit includes at least one of the following: the name of the radio frequency unit, the type of the radio frequency unit, the interface capability of the radio frequency unit, and the service capability of the radio frequency unit.

[0038] In the actual implementation process, the business card information is burned and solidified in the corresponding functional boards and radio frequency units in the form of chips.

[0039] It can be burned and cured in the form of a chip, and there is no restriction here.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, the main control board receives the business card information reported by each functional board, including: the main control board receives the business card information and corresponding slot information reported by all functional boards inserted into the slots.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, the main control board receives business card information reported by the radio frequency unit, including: the main control board receives business card information reported by the radio frequency unit and corresponding optoelectronic signal interface information, wherein the business card information is reported by the radio frequency unit to the functional board connected to the radio frequency unit, and then forwarded to the main control board by the functional board.

[0042] In actual implementation, the main control board not only needs to receive business card information but also needs to know where the business card information comes from. Therefore, for business card information from a function board, it needs to know the slot information in which the function board is inserted. For business card information from a radio frequency unit, it needs to know the optical signal interface information connected to the radio frequency unit. In actual implementation, when multiple radio frequency units are cascaded, business card requests can be forwarded to each of the radio frequency units in sequence. The business card information returned by the multiple radio frequency units is then forwarded to the main control board in a tiered manner.

[0043] Step S206: The main control board generates topology data of the base station according to the reported business card information.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the main control board generates the topology data of the base station based on the reported business card information, including: the main control board generates the topology data of the base station based on the reported business card information of each functional board and the slot information of each functional board, as well as the business card information reported by the radio frequency unit and its corresponding optoelectronic signal interface information.

[0045] In the actual implementation process, after obtaining the topology data of the base station, the functional parameters and service parameters of each functional board and radio frequency unit can be configured according to the topology data of the base station in combination with the actual service situation, so as to realize plug-and-play of the functional board and radio frequency unit.

[0046] The configuration of functional parameters and business parameters needs to be combined with actual conditions, and the configuration means are conventional technologies in this field and will not be described here.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, when the main control board detects the insertion of a new functional board or the access of a new radio frequency unit, the main control board sends a business card acquisition request to the newly inserted functional board or the newly accessed radio frequency unit; the main control board receives the business card information reported by the newly inserted functional board or the newly accessed radio frequency unit, and updates the topology data of the base station according to the business card information of the newly inserted functional board or the newly accessed radio frequency unit.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, the business card information of the newly inserted functional board or the newly connected radio frequency unit is compared with the existing topology data of the corresponding slot or optoelectronic signal interface in the current topology data. If there is inconsistency, the current topology data is updated; if there is consistency, no update is required.

[0049] In the actual implementation process, the newly inserted functional board may be inserted into the original slot, that is, the functional board was originally inserted but then pulled out, and then a new functional board was inserted into the slot where the functional board was pulled out. In this case, it is necessary to compare the business card information of the newly inserted functional board with the existing topology data of the corresponding slot in the current topology data. If they are inconsistent, it means that the functional boards inserted twice are different, and the current topology data is updated. If they are consistent, it means that the functional boards inserted twice are the same, and no update is required. At the same time, there is also the case of inserting a new functional board for the first time into a slot that had no functional board inserted before. In this case, when comparing, there is no information about the functional board on the corresponding slot in the original topology data, and the topology data needs to be updated.

[0050] In actual implementation, the newly connected RF unit may be connected to the original optoelectronic signal interface, that is, the optoelectronic signal interface was previously connected to a RF unit, but it was disconnected, and a new RF unit was connected to the optoelectronic signal interface. In this case, it is necessary to compare the business card information of the newly connected RF unit with the existing topology data of the corresponding optoelectronic signal interface in the current topology data. If they are inconsistent, it means that the two connected RF units are different, and the current topology data is updated. If they are consistent, it means that the two connected RF units are the same, and no update is required. At the same time, there is also a RF unit that is connected for the first time to the optoelectronic signal interface of a RF unit that was not connected before. In this case, when comparing, there is no information about the RF unit on the corresponding optoelectronic signal interface in the original topology data, and the topology data needs to be updated.

[0051] In the actual implementation process, for the RF unit, the newly inserted RF unit may be a secondary RF unit in the cascaded RF units. In this case, according to the above embodiment, the business card acquisition request is sent step by step, and the business card information is reported step by step. No further details are given here.

[0052] During actual implementation, operators can pre-configure the detection function for the main control board. The configuration can be set according to actual conditions so that the main control board can detect and monitor corresponding slot changes and RRU device changes at any time. There are no specific restrictions here.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, when a function board inserted into a slot is removed or a radio frequency unit connected to the function board is disconnected, the main control board generates an alarm message to keep the current topology data unchanged.

[0054] In actual implementation, in a base station scenario where a service has been activated, the base station does not perform any processing other than reporting an alarm when a board is unplugged to prevent confusion in topology data configuration. The above process is triggered only when a new device is detected to be inserted or connected to the relevant slot or optical port, thereby completing automatic data configuration.

[0055] Through the above steps, the baseband unit's main control board sends a business card request to each of the baseband unit's function boards and the radio frequency unit; the main control board receives the business card information reported by each function board and the radio frequency unit; and the main control board generates base station topology data based on the reported business card information. This solves the problem of time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient topology data configuration for base stations in related technologies, achieving efficient topology data configuration for base stations.

[0056] The execution entity of the above steps may be a base station, a terminal, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0057] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus the necessary general hardware platform, and of course it can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method.

Thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to any specific combination of hardware and software.

[0070] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following is explained in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0071] Example 1

[0072] The base station topology data configuration method and device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be mainly applied to typical base station networking scenarios and superimposed hybrid networking scenarios.

[0073] Topological connections can be summarized into two types: one is the connection between the main control board and the functional board in the base station BBU, including the topological connection between the main control board and the baseband board, and the topological connection between the main control board and other functional boards such as the power supply. This type of connection is physically connected through the backplane slot in the base station baseband unit BBU device; the other is the connection between the board with external interface function in the base station baseband unit BBU and other peripheral node devices, such as the baseband board has multiple optical ports for connecting to the base station radio frequency unit (AAU / RRU). This type of connection is physically connected through optical fiber or network cable.

[0074] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a base station star networking scenario according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5, the baseband board B has multiple optical ports for connecting to the base station radio frequency unit (AAU / RRU). Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a base station chain networking according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 6, the baseband board B has one optical port for connecting to the base station radio frequency unit (AAU / RRU), and different base station radio frequency units are cascaded. Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a new type of indoor grouping network of a base station according to an embodiment of the present disclosure scenario. As shown in Figure 7, the base station radio frequency unit includes multiple pRRUs. The information of different pRRUs (business card information, etc.) can be aggregated to the switching and aggregation module, and then information / data transmission is carried out with the BBU.

[0075] In the disclosed embodiment, the main control board in the baseband unit (BBU) of the base station is the core of the entire base station. The main control board is set as the initiator of connection establishment and is responsible for generating and storing the final configuration data. Other boards and devices have a hardware business card, which is burned and solidified at the factory. The board business card contains at least the fields shown in Table 1:

[0076] Table 1 Fields included in the business card information of the functional board

[0077] In addition to the board business cards of the above-mentioned boards and devices, when transmitting the board business cards, you must also carry interface information such as the slot or optical port.

[0078] Example 2

[0079] In the second embodiment, the process of configuring the topology data of the base station is illustrated according to different scenarios.

[0080] The topology data configuration method and device of the base station provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the main control board in the base station BBU is the core of the entire base station, and the embodiment of the present disclosure sets the main control board as the connection establishment initiator, and is responsible for the final configuration data generation and storage. Other boards and devices on the base station are designed with hardware business cards (i.e. business card information), which are burned and solidified when leaving the factory (including but not limited to burning and solidifying in the form of chips), including: board name, board type, interface capabilities, business capabilities and other information. When transmitting the single-board business card, it is also necessary to carry interface information such as the slot or optical port. In the scenario of opening a station or expanding capacity, after the main control board is powered on, it detects and identifies the slot where the single board has been inserted, and sends a request to obtain the business card to all slots where the single board has been inserted. After receiving the request, all single boards in the BBU upload the business card information; the baseband board / interface board detects and identifies the optical signal interface, and forwards the main control board's business card request to the interface with the optical signal, and the business card information is uploaded on the radio frequency unit or cascade device; the main control board generates the base station hardware topology data based on the slot information, interface information and single-board business card. In the board replacement scenario, after the main control board detects that a new board has been inserted / accessed, it sends a request to obtain a business card to the slot / device where the board is inserted, and registers the business card information on the newly inserted / accessed device. The main control board updates the base station hardware topology data based on the board business card and slot information / interface location information. The base station generates hardware topology data based on self-discovery and self-configuration, and automatically generates complete base station configuration data based on the planning data input by the user, realizing plug-and-play. In the commissioning and operation and maintenance of base stations, commissioning configuration and hardware replacement require matching configurations or modifying related configuration data. The operation is complex and error-prone, and requires a lot of manpower. The topology data configuration method of the base station in the disclosed embodiment ensures hardware plug-and-play through an automated process of self-discovery and self-configuration, improves commissioning and operation efficiency, reduces manpower consumption to 0, and also increases the accuracy to 100%.

[0081] The method for establishing a connection and forming configuration data between boards and node devices described in the embodiments of the present disclosure involves the following scenarios.

[0082] (1) For new site deployment scenarios, the process of automatically generating base station topology and base station resource configuration data.

[0091] Step S808 , the main control board: generates configuration data of the base station topology and base station resources based on the slot information, interface information and the board business card.

[0092] (2) In the scenario of an already opened base station, the BBU board is replaced or new scenario data configuration self-update process is added.

[0093] FIG9 is a schematic diagram of a process for updating topology data configuration of a base station according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG9 , in the case where a BBU board is replaced or new scenario data is added, the process for updating topology data configuration of the base station includes:

[0094] Step S901: The BBU main control board detects that a new board is inserted into the BBU chassis.

[0095] Step S902: The BBU main control board sends a business card acquisition request to the slot where the board is inserted.

[0096] Step S903: A new board is inserted into the BBU: the board business card is reported.

[0097] Step S904, main control board: update the configuration data of base station topology and base station resources based on the board business card and slot information (compare first, if the slot configuration data already exists in the current configuration data and the board model is consistent with the new board business card, no update is required).

[0098] (3) In the activated base station scenario, the BBU board lower-level device is replaced or the new scenario data configuration self-update process is added.

[0099] FIG10 is a schematic diagram of a process for updating topology data configuration of a base station according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG10 , when a BBU board downstream device is replaced or new scene data is added, the process for updating topology data configuration of the base station includes:

[0100] Step S1001: The baseband board or interface board in the BBU detects that there is an optical / electrical signal on the optical / electrical interface.

[0101] Step S1002: The baseband board or interface board in the BBU sends a business card acquisition request to the interface with the photoelectric signal.

[0102] Step S1003: A new downstream board is inserted into the baseband board or the interface board in the BBU: the board business card is reported.

[0103] Step S1004: The baseband board or interface board in the BBU forwards the board business card and its connection interface information.

[0104] Step S1005, main control board: update the configuration data of base station topology and base station resources based on slot information, interface information and single board business card (compare first, if the slot configuration data already exists in the current configuration data and the single board model is consistent with the new single board business card, no update is required).

[0105] (4) For a base station scenario that has been opened, the self-update process for the replacement or addition of scene data configuration for secondary or higher cascaded devices.

[0106] FIG11 is a schematic diagram of a process for updating topology data configuration of a base station according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG11 , when a second-level or higher-level cascade device replaces or adds new scene data, the process for updating topology data configuration of the base station includes:

[0107] Step S1101: The lower-link board in the BBU detects that there is an optical / electrical signal at the optical / electrical interface.

[0108] Step S1102: The lower link board in the BBU sends a business card acquisition request to the interface with the photoelectric signal.

[0109] Step S1103: A newly inserted board in a second-level or higher cascade of a lower-link board in the BBU: reporting a board business card.

[0110] Step S1104: The downstream board in the BBU forwards the board business card and its connection interface information.

[0111] Step S1105: The baseband board or interface board in the BBU forwards the board business card and its connection interface information.

[0112] Step S1106, main control board: update the configuration data of base station topology and base station resources based on slot information, interface information and board business card (compare first, if the slot configuration data already exists in the current configuration data and the board model is consistent with the new board business card, no update is required).

[0113] In the above embodiment, in the scenario where the base station has been opened, the base station does not perform any processing other than reporting an alarm for unplugging the single board. The above process will only be triggered when a new device is detected to be inserted or connected to the relevant slot or optical port, thereby completing the automatic data configuration.

[0114] In summary, the base station topology data configuration method and device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure are mainly used to realize the automatic discovery and automatic configuration of the hardware topology on the base station. At the same time, during the network operation and maintenance process, when the base station hardware resources change, the software and configuration are automatically updated after the hardware is replaced. The base station topology data configuration method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure designs a single-board business card to save the key information of the single-board hardware self-configuration, such as: board name, board type, interface capability, business capability, etc., and it can be confirmed whether the single-board hardware information queried is involved in infringement. The base station main control board has the ability to identify whether the single board is inserted / connected, obtain hardware business cards, collect single-board information, and self-configure the hardware topology. Infringement can be identified in the internal processing flow or log printing. In the new station scenario, it is initiated by the main control board, and the network topology and equipment information are obtained by detecting the connection, handshake interaction, and obtaining business cards. The base station topology and resource configuration data are automatically created, and infringement can be identified from the internal processing flow of the base station. In the scenario where the station has been opened, the connection status of the slot and the optical port is detected to trigger the process of obtaining business cards and updating configuration data, thereby realizing plug-and-play of single boards and equipment.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present disclosure are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the principles of the present disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
