Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to wireless technologies, and in particular, to a network interaction method, an interaction network element, and a wireless network node.
Background
In the existing wireless network, after the engineering implementation of the conventional base station, operation and maintenance personnel need to plan and configure network parameters of a wireless side necessary for starting the base station in advance for the base station so as to ensure the normal operation of the base station, wherein the network parameters include interface configuration parameters, cell identification Information (ID) configuration parameters and neighbor configuration parameters. After that, the network is exposed to the pressure of capacity expansion and parameter adjustment because new base stations are continuously turned on and old base stations are continuously turned off. Therefore, the optimization process needs to be performed iteratively, and the iterative optimization process roughly includes parameter configuration, performance evaluation, parameter optimization, parameter reconfiguration after optimization, and the like.
However, the network parameters of the wireless side of Long Term Evolution (LTE) are numerous, and the relationship between the network parameters of the wireless side is very complex. The personalized configuration of the network parameters of different cells can efficiently utilize resources, but has great difficulty; furthermore, as network users increase and capacity demands increase, a large number of new wireless base stations need to be deployed, which need to coexist and interoperate with existing LTE and second generation/third generation (2G/3G) networks, making network maintenance and optimization more complicated.
In view of the complexity of network maintenance and optimization, SON technology is proposed in LTE systems, and it is expected that network configuration and optimization will be more intelligent through the application of automation technology. The Self-Organizing Network (SON) technology includes functions such as Physical Cell identity (PCI, Physical Cell ID) Self-configuration, Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR), Mobility Robustness Optimization (MRO), Mobility Load Balancing (MLB), and the like. However, the SON functions in the LTE network are scattered, which belongs to a single-point technology, and no SON optimization concept on the whole is proposed.
In the future, as the frequency range of the wireless network is higher and higher, the coverage area is smaller and smaller, the number of base stations will show an exponential growth trend, and the requirements for network planning optimization and upgrading and updating of network functions are higher, so that the concept of SON needs to be run through all the time, and the functions of dynamic expansion, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-detection and the like of the network can be supported from the beginning of the network architecture design.
In the existing wireless network, the network function configuration is completed by direct configuration of engineering technicians or configuration of a network management system, when the configuration of a base station is upgraded, each base station needs to be upgraded and maintained, which is not beneficial to network deployment of low-cost small stations and plug and play of the small stations and corresponding configuration updating. Secondly, the base station resources cannot update the software functions according to the service requirements of the terminal, so that the best resource allocation is achieved. Thirdly, the prior art cannot conveniently perform base station configuration and function optimization of inter-region differentiation. Finally, the prior art cannot realize the mode of realizing the base station by using the general hardware resources of the whole network, and the prior base station must be provided with hardware and software at the same time.
