Method for managing software version file in radio communication system

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of managing software version files in a wireless communication system. The method comprises the following steps: packing the updated software version files into a mend software package; updating the software version files in the mend software package in a base station version server and notifying a base station to updating a base station version package; according to the notification from the version server, the base station downloading the updated software version files in the mend software package, resetting corresponding hardware and loading the updated software version files. The updated software version files in the mend software package can mix with the prior software version files in the base station version package, thereby avoiding the problem of conflicting software version files, and enabling a user not to care for a specific software version file. The system device only downloads the updated software version files without downloading all software version files in the whole base station version package, thereby avoiding meaningless service interruption and simultaneously reducing software updating time.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to software management of a wireless communication system, in particular to a method for managing software version files in a wireless communication system. Background technique [0002] Wireless communication systems are generally more complicated, and there are many types of software versions. Take the base station as an example. The software version on a base station system has multiple CPU operating software and Field-Programmable Gate Array (FGPA, Field-Programmable Gate Array) logic software. There are dozens of digital signal processing (DSP, digital singnalprocessor) software and single-chip software, and there will be dozens of corresponding software version files. If the software version management uses specific software version files as the granularity, the consistency and correctness of these software version files must be guaranteed, which is very difficult for users to operate. Any mismatch of software version files will ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, this kind of packaging of the entire base station software version file has brought the following problems: when a base station version package is released, and the user needs to replace one or several software version files, the entire base station version package must be re-downloaded , and activate the entire base station version package, and each download and activation needs to interrupt the operation of the system equipment, resulting in unnecessary business interruption and too long software upgrade time; if a single software version file is updated, it will exist in the base station version package The problem of software version file conflict
