Self-discovery method, device and system of distributed base station

Abstract

The invention provides a self-discovery method of a distributed base station, a self-discovery device of the distributed base station and a self-discovery system of the distributed base station. The self-discovery method comprises the following steps that: a bandwidth based unit (BBU) obtains unconfigured bandwidth based unit (BBU) single-board information according to the single-board configuration state and single board insertion state of the bandwidth based unit (BBU); when the bandwidth based unit (BBU) detects a radio remote unit (RRU) through loop back testing, wherein the radio remote unit (RRU) is connected with the bandwidth based unit (BBU) and is not configured, the bandwidth based unit (BBU) collects unconfigured radio remote unit (RRU) single-board information; and the unconfigured bandwidth based unit (BBU) single-board information and the unconfigured radio remote unit (RRU) single-board information are transmitted to a webmaster such that the webmaster can configure the distributed base station. According to the self-discovery method, device and system of the distributed base station, the unconfigured bandwidth based unit (BBU) single-board information and the unconfigured radio remote unit (RRU) single-board information is obtained and is uploaded to the webmaster, and therefore, the problem that the distributed base station is required to be configured manually can be solved. The self-discovery method, device and system of the distributed base station are advantageous in reduction of manual intervention and operation cost of operators as well as improvement of operation efficiency and user experience.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a self-discovery method, device and system for distributed base stations. Background technique [0002] The self-discovery of a distributed base station means that during the opening process of a base station, a baseband unit (Bandwidth Based Unit, referred to as BBU) or a radio frequency remote unit (Radio Remote Unit, referred to as RRU) finds that it already exists on the network. The performance of "already existing" mainly means that the BBU or RRU unit has obtained some parameters on the network, such as the network management IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP. The purpose of the distributed base station self-discovery is to enable the network management to find the base station in the network and establish a connection with it. [0003] At present, for distributed base stations based on BBU+RRU architecture, according to traditional network management methods, engin...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The configuration process is complicated: the basic configuration needs to be performed on the base station side and the network management side at the same time;

[0006] Parameter configuration is cumbersome: the data configured on the base station side and the network management side are based on planning data, and manual input is required;

[0007] The configuration process is error-prone: the configuration process on the base station side and the network management side cannot guarantee that manual input parameters will not be wrong, and when some key parameters are configured inconsistently on the base station side and the network management side, it may cause major failures

[0008] Aiming at the problem that distributed base stations need to be manually configured in related technologies, no effective solution has been proposed so far
