Description

METHODO FOR RETRIEVING PROCESSOR LOADED DATA IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a data collection method of a mobile communication system, and more particularly, to a collection method for processor load data for storing the shape information of the system.

The mobile communication system includes a base transmission station (hereinafter referred to as BTS) for wireless connection with mobile stations and a base station controller (hereinafter referred to as BSC) for controlling a plurality of BTSs. And a Mobile Switching Ceneter (hereinafter referred to as MSC) that is responsible for transmitting and receiving data and control signals with other networks such as the BSC and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and the operation of the respective BSCs and BTSs. And a base station manager (hereinafter referred to as BSM) in charge of maintenance. The BSM measures statistical data such as call volume, call distribution, call quality, call capacity calculation data, and fault characteristics from each BSC transmitted through a LAN such as Ethernet. And periodically outputting the data. In this case, the main processor of the BSC may be a call control processor (hereinafter referred to as CCP), and the main processor of the BTS may be a base station transmission system control processor (hereinafter referred to as a BCP). There is a number.

On the other hand, processor loaded data (hereinafter referred to as PLD) in a mobile communication system is used in BSM, BSC, BTS, etc., a program for driving each system is executed based on the stored PLD. PLDs are operated for each BSC, BTS, and BSM, and the process operates the system according to the characteristics of each system according to the contents of each PLD.

In the mobile communication system, the PLD may include a PLD header, a relation directory, an attribute dictionary, a key dictionary, and relation data. In this case, the PLD header has only one data for each PLD (for example, CCP PLD, BCP PLD, BSM PLD, etc.), and thus the overall structure of each PLD can be known. And PLD header has address information of relation dictionary to access relation data. The address stores information on one tuple per relation for all kinds of relations constituting each PLD. The relation directory includes a relation data address, an attribute dictionary address, a key dictionary address, a number of keys, a size of tuple, and the like.

The relation data includes data in tuple units, and the attribute dictionary stores type and size information of attributes constituting each tuple. In addition, the key dictionary stores key information of tuples constituting each relation. The key dictionary is composed of an Integer type by the number of keys described in the relation directory. The key dictionary is used to calculate a key range for accessing a PLD in an index manner.

In the mobile communication system, the relation data is data used in an actual system, and system shape information necessary for operating the system, for example, data of a traffic channel and frequency allocation situation necessary for performing communication in each system. And so on. In addition, the PLDs provided by each system (eg, BSM, BSC, BTS, etc.) in the mobile communication system should always match each other. This is to prevent confusion caused by inconsistency of data PLD data stored by each system when the systems interoperate with each other and operate a mobile communication system.

On the other hand, the procedure for accessing a specific PLD is as follows. That is, the address of the relation directory is first obtained from the PLD header information. Then find the relation information you want to find from the Relation Directory. Then, key dictionary, attribute dictionary, and relation address information are obtained from the relation information. And to access relation data, combination of key dictionary, attribute dictionary and desired key information is used to access the location of relevant tuple. And since all Tuple arrays are composed of C-Language Structure, each Attribute can be used like Structure Member. If you don't know the structure, you can get the value of each attribute accurately by performing memory alignment using attribute dictionary.

On the other hand, the conventional PLD collection method in the mobile communication system was to collect the PLD that the operator accesses the BSM, stored and operated in the BSM. In practice, however, the values of PLDs operated in BSC and BTS do not always match the values of PLDs in BSM. This is because the data may be lost while the corresponding BSCs and BTSs transmit and receive signals.

Therefore, in order to improve the reliability of the mobile communication system and to operate the system stably, the operator must access the PLD of the BSC and BTS that are actually operating when collecting and updating the PLD data.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for collecting processor load data which is actually operated in a base station in a mobile communication system.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for collecting and modifying processor load data actually used in a base station controller and a base station transmission system in a mobile communication system.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for collecting processor load data in a mobile communication system, wherein the processor load data collection process included in the base station manager is specific to a corresponding processor load data collection process provided to the base station at the request of an operator.

In the mobile communication system, the BSM communicates with a corresponding base station system to directly access PLD data loaded in the system. In addition, in order for a BSM to access a PLD included in each BSC and a BTS, there may be a method of directly accessing the corresponding PLD memory and a method of accessing it by another program.

Each corresponding process performs communication between the BSM and the BSC, and directly accesses the PLD memory of the BSC in operation as shown in FIG. 1. That is, each corresponding process accesses the correct memory location of each BSC PLD (CCP PLD) and BTS PLD (BCP PLD). In addition, the correct memory location is predetermined at the time of implementing the corresponding BSC system for each CCP PLD and BCP PLD.
