Description

A kind of management method of base station from home and system

Technical field

The present invention relates to the technology of base station from home, refer in particular to a kind of management method and system of base station from home.

Background technology

In wireless network communications system, along with the development of the Internet (Internet) and the extensive use of various wireless traffics, the user has proposed higher demand for aspects such as the bandwidth of wireless network, convenience, costs.On the other hand, from the angle of operator, need utilize the resource of existing network fully, the expansion capacity reduces cost, provides service for the user better.

In order fully to satisfy above-mentioned demand and networks development demand, therefore a kind of base station from home (Home Node B) has been proposed.Home Node B is a kind of femto cell of family expenses, and the user can arrange this base station in hot spot coverage such as family, office spaces, is linked into mobile communications network by Intemet, thereby obtains radio communication service.The introducing of Home Node B has solved the bottleneck problem of aerial interface resource in the wireless data service, makes the user can enjoy the network service of two-forty, high bandwidth.On the other hand, because Home Node B is by the Internet accessing mobile communication network, therefore the transmission cost of having saved mobile operator has improved mobile network's capacity.And Home Node B is mainly used in hot spot regions such as family, office space, and backwoodsman blind spot, has therefore improved mobile network's covering, has optimized the quality of network.

In present mobile communications network, the online situation of network node all has bigger influence for the operation strategy of user's business and operator.The connection of network node and disconnection, need fully take into account to the influence of customer service and to the influence of whole network performance, therefore, need to consider the network planning and the layout of operator, carry out the network planning in advance, and finish the access and the disconnection of network according to the content of planning.

Because the user will start Home Node B whenever and wherever possible according to self needs, make Home NodeB by the Internet accessing mobile communication network, therefore turn-on time and the opening time of HomeNode B can't be predicted and plan to mobile communications network, so, the access of Home Node B has proposed new demand to the management of Internet resources, and mobile communications network need come it is managed according to the online situation of Home Node B.For example, when Home Node B accessing mobile communication network, mobile communications network need distribute corresponding resource to it; When Home Node B left mobile communications network, mobile communications network need discharge the resource (comprising Radio Resource and transfer resource etc.) of distributing to this Home Node B.Therefore, mobile communications network need be understood the online situation of Home Node B in time, so that can effectively manage it.

In current wireless network, access and the disconnection of grand Node B (but can cover the base station of big zone service to the public) are that situation according to carrier network planning decides and implements, and that is to say, the online situation of grand Node B is Guaranteed in operator.Element management system (EMS, Element Management System) according to the network planning data of operator, dispose and coordinate relevant resource by artificial participation, that is to say, EMS is based on fully for the management of grand Node B that the planning of operator carries out, and for grand Node B, the distribution of resource is relative static with reclaiming.Therefore, EMS is static relatively for the online condition managing of grand Node B, occurs when unusual in the online situation of grand Node B, and EMS can judge its online situation by information such as heartbeat, network alarms, and does not need to adjust automatically resource allocation.

For grand Node B, above-mentioned scheme is relatively to be fit to, but for Home Node B, above-mentioned scheme is but not too suitable, exists apparent in view shortcoming.For example, network planning data (abbreviating the network planning data as) can't cover Home Node B etc.The reason that this problem occurs is:

1), the One's name is legion of Home Node B, considerably beyond the quantity of grand Node B, artificial network planning data are difficult to cover all Home Node B;

2), because turn-on time of Home Node B is at random, network can't be predicted these information, so the network planning can not be considered the situation of Home Node B;

3), the online situation of Home Node B is not subjected to the control of operator, and the position of Home Node B neither fix, and might move within the specific limits.Therefore, the above-mentioned management strategy at grand Node B can't be applied to Home Node B.

According to aforesaid scheme as can be known, because EMS can't be by the online situation of information acquisition Home Node B such as network planning data, so EMS is difficult to dispose effectively and coordinate relevant resource, thereby very difficult Home Node B effectively managed.

Also there is another kind of scheme in the prior art, the situation of the promptly network based Home Node B that may insert, the operating position of consideration global resource is distributed corresponding resource for it in advance; EMS manages it according to being in advance the resource that Home Node B distributes.The resource of this prior distribution is static relatively, and for a definite Home Node B, no matter whether online it is, the resource of distributing to it all exists, and that is to say, EMS is static relatively for the management of Home Node B.

Also there is apparent in view shortcoming in above-mentioned this scheme:

1), at first, the quantity of the Home Node B that may insert in the network is huge, if network in advance to the Home Node B that might insert do the planning of an overall situation, then the workload of this work is too big; And since the enormous amount of Home Node B might occur thorough inadequately situation is considered in some aspect, cause conflict easily;

2), secondly, for operator, Internet resources are limited, provide better service in order to give more user, and reasonably resource allocation is an important problem.The Home Node B of enormous amount generally can be not online always, and generally can be simultaneously not online yet, therefore, if all distribute corresponding Internet resources for each Home Node B statically in advance, the significant wastage of resource will be caused, and such management strategy also is difficult to satisfy the demand of all users for service.

Summary of the invention

In view of this, the main purpose of the embodiment of the invention is to provide a kind of management method and system of base station from home, thereby can base station from home be managed according to the online situation of base station from home.

Description of drawings

Figure 1 shows that Home Node B in the embodiment of the invention online situation concern schematic diagram.

Fig. 2 is the structural representation of base station from home management system in the embodiment of the invention.

Embodiment

For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention express clearlyer, the present invention is further described in more detail below in conjunction with drawings and the specific embodiments.

A kind of management method of base station from home is provided in the embodiments of the invention, by this method, the signal that EMS can feed back according to online situation and the described Home Node B of the Home Node B that is stored (for example power on signal, the pass signal of telecommunication, testing result etc.), described Home Node B is managed, thereby can effectively manage Home Node B according to the different online situation of Home Node B.

Figure 1 shows that Home Node B in the embodiment of the invention online situation concern schematic diagram.As shown in Figure 1, the online situation of Home Node B can be divided into power-up state, presence, pass electricity condition and off-line state, below is the simple introduction to these four kinds of states.

Off-line (Offline) state: i.e. Home Node B off-line, with the mobile network without any getting in touch, network side be can't see the state of Home Node B fully;

(Powering on) state powers on: promptly Home Node B is after sending power on signal, and network is its configuration network of relation state of resources;

Online (Online) state: promptly Home Node B is linked in the network, and has distributed relevant Internet resources, is in the state that can come into operation, service is provided;

Close electricity (Power off) state: promptly Home Node B sends the pass signal of telecommunication, and network reclaims the network of relation state of resources.

Correlation between above-mentioned these four kinds of states is as shown in Figure 1:

When Home Node B was in off-line state, Home Node B passed through to send power on signal to network, thereby realized the conversion from the off-line state to the power-up state;

When Home Node B was in power-up state, Home Node B can be accomplished to the conversion of presence by power up.In power up, network will authenticate and authentication Home Node B, and distribute the network of relation resource for it.If the power up failure, then Home Node B will get back to off-line state, and send the pass signal of telecommunication; If because some special circumstances sends a plurality of power on signal continuously, then Home Node B will continue to keep power-up state to Home Node B in power up;

When Home Node B is in line states, thereby Home Node B can be transformed into the pass electricity condition by sending the pass signal of telecommunication; If Home Node B since some special circumstances (for example, the situation of Home Node B power down etc. takes place) directly be transformed into off-line state from presence, and do not have enough time to send when closing the signal of telecommunication, though this moment, system did not receive the pass signal of telecommunication of Home Node B, and do not know that Home Node B has been in off-line state, but when can detecting at the presence to Home Node B subsequently, system learns this situation, promptly do not detect the presence of Home Node B when system, then system as can be known the online situation of this Home Node B be off-line state; When if HomeNode B is in line states, Home Node B has been carried out instantaneous pass/start operation, then HomeNode B will maintain presence;

When Home Node B was in the pass electricity condition, Home Node B can finish the pass electricity by closing electric process, is transformed into off-line state from closing electricity condition, the relevant Internet resources of network recovery.

EMS is for the online management of Home Node B, can be described according to the different online situation of Home Node B, below will introduce the management method of EMS respectively in detail by specific embodiment to power-up state, presence and the pass electricity condition of HomeNode B.

First preferred embodiment: EMS is to the management of Home Node B power-up state.

1, the power up of Home Node B.

After network is received the power on signal of Home Node B, will authenticate and authentication Home Node B, and be that Home Node B distributes the network of relation resource, finish power up.In this process, because Home Node B need carry out alternately with EMS, therefore EMS can be known the online situation of Home Node B in reciprocal process, after Home Node B finishes power up, (be that EMS is a Home Node B allocation of network resources, after Home Node B can come into operation), HomeNode B enters presence, and EMS is updated to presence with the online situation of this Home Node B of being stored.

2, EMS receives the power on signal of Home Node B continuously.

EMS (perhaps other network functional entities, for example gateway) might receive the power on signal that enters power up of Home NodeB continuously, and this situation belongs to exception.For this continuous power on signal, EMS (perhaps other network functional entities, gateway for example) can merge processing, for example, for in predefined a period of time interval, if EMS receives the continuous power on signal (can judge according to information such as Home Node B signs) that comes from same Home Node B, EMS (perhaps other network functional entities then, gateway for example) thinks that these continuous power on signal belong to same request, only carry out single treatment, and disregard for other power on signal.

3, Home Node B power up failure.

In the power up of Home Node B, might be for some reason, failure causes powering on.For the situation of the failure that powers on, EMS need carry out different processing according to failure cause.

1), the authentication procedure failure of Home Node B.For this situation, because also being Home Node B, network do not distribute relevant Internet resources, there is not any influence for Internet resources, therefore EMS only needs the online situation of this Home Node B that will be stored to be updated to off-line state, and does not need to adjust the Internet resources of this Home Node B.

2), network has distributed the subnetwork resource for Home Node B, but has failed when all the other resources of configuration.For example, distributed transfer resource, and when distributing radio resource, failed for Home Node B.In this case, following described two kinds of processing methods are arranged:

A, because subnetwork resource allocation failure, therefore EMS is updated to off-line state with the online situation of this Home Node B of being stored, the Internet resources of this Home Node B have been distributed in direct then release, no longer carry out follow-up resource allocation process, wait for the access request next time (being power on signal) of this Home Node B;

B, the Internet resources of this Home Node B have been distributed in the temporary transient reservation of EMS, restart a process of distributing all the other resources for this Home Node B, if in predefined a period of time, the process of above-mentioned all the other resources of distribution is still failed, the number of times of the procedure failure of perhaps above-mentioned all the other resources of distribution surpasses predefined number of times, then EMS is updated to off-line state with the online situation of this Home Node B of being stored, discharge all Internet resources of having distributed to this Home Node B, wait for the request of access next time (being power on signal) of this Home Node B.

4, at Home Node B in power up, EMS receives the pass signal of telecommunication of this Home Node B again.

In the power up of Home Node B, EMS might receive the pass signal of telecommunication that this Home Node B is sent, and for example, the user turns off power supply.In this case owing to may also not set up safe the connection between Home Node B and the EMS, therefore the described pass signal of telecommunication not necessarily HomeNode B directly send, sent by other network entities (for example, IAD).EMS need handle accordingly according to the process of described power up after receiving the described pass signal of telecommunication:

1), after Home Node B powers on, when authentication of being correlated with and authentication, receive the pass signal of telecommunication, because this moment, EMS did not also distribute corresponding Internet resources for Home Node B, therefore there is not any influence for Internet resources, this moment, EMS only needed the online situation of this Home Node B is updated to off-line state, and did not need to adjust the Internet resources of this Home Node B.

2), be in power-up state as Home Node B, relevant authentication and authentication process have been finished, when EMS has distributed relevant Internet resources for it, if EMS receives the pass signal of telecommunication of this Home Node B, then EMS need be updated to off-line state with the online situation of this Home Node B of being stored, discharges the Internet resources that all have distributed to this H ome Node B.

3), after being in power-up state, Home Node B carried out closing the electricity operation again, and EMS is not when receiving the pass signal of telecommunication of this Home Node B, if Home Node B authenticates and authentication with EMS, EMS does not also distribute corresponding Internet resources for Home Node B, this moment EMS and do not know that Home Node B has carried out closing the electricity operation, therefore EMS proceeds and the relevant operation of Home NodeB power up, in this process, EMS need carry out the mutual of information with described Home Node B; Therefore, when EMS does not receive the feedback information of described Home Node B in the predefined time, then EMS as can be known Home Node B carried out closing the electricity operation, therefore EMS can stop the power up of this Home Node B, and the online situation of the described Home Node B that stored is updated to off-line state; If authentication and the authentication process of Home Node B are finished, EMS is being the relevant resource of Home Node B configuration, this moment EMS and do not know that Home Node B has carried out closing the electricity operation, therefore EMS will proceed the relevant treatment of Home Node B power up, continue as this Home Node B and carry out relevant configuration, issue configuration parameter for this Home Node B, and need the configuration parameter feedback of Home Node B issuing.If EMS does not receive the feedback information of Home Node B within a certain period of time, then EMS can think that Home Node B has been in off-line state, so no longer carry out follow-up power up, the online situation of this Home Node B of being stored is updated to off-line state, and discharges the Internet resources that all have distributed to this Home Node B.

Second preferred embodiment: EMS is to the management of Home Node B presence.

When the online situation of Home NodeBNode B is presence, EMS need find out the conversion of the online situation of Home NodeBNode B in time, so that the online situation to the HomeNodeBNode B that stored is upgraded timely, Internet resources are adjusted timely, thereby realization is to effective management of Home NodeBNode B.Therefore, when Home NodeBNode B is in line states, EMS mainly is the online situation that detects HomeNodeBNode B to the management of Home NodeBNode B, adjust Internet resources, upgrade the online situation of this HomeNodeBNode B that is stored, and manage for the change of Home NodeBNode B state.

One, EMS can be undertaken by three kinds of modes as described below for the detection of the online situation of Home Node B:

1, EMS detects the online situation of Home Node B by the carrying (for example, transport layer) of the bottom between Home Node B and the EMS.

The bottom carrying is that Home Node B is connected to mobile network basis, if EMS can be known the connection status of bottom carrying, then EMS just can be known the online situation of Home Node B.Therefore, can know the online situation of Home Node B by two kinds of schemes as described below from the state information of bottom carrying:

1), when the state of bottom carrying changes, the bottom carrying sends to EMS with corresponding state change information, EMS can know the online situation of HomeNode B by inference behind the state change information that receives the bottom carrying.For example, if the connection of bottom carrying is interrupted, then Home Node B is in off-line state, so EMS can correspondingly upgrade the online situation of the Home Node B that is stored.

A, utilize the link detecting mechanism of bottom carrying itself to detect the state of bottom carrying.For the bottom carrying, the interruption of bottom link detects has diverse ways in different mechanism.For example, for agreements such as TCP, SCTP or HTTP, the bottom carrying can detect Link State by handshake mechanism, therefore can utilize the testing mechanism of TCP, SCTP or http protocol self to finish the link detecting function of Home Node B to EMS.

B, the state that utilizes safe access gateway (SecGW) detection bottom to carry.Owing to undertaken being connected all of other nodes among Home NodeB and the mobile network by SecGW, therefore Home NodeB also can be used as the basis for estimation of Home Node B to the EMS Link State to the connection status of SecGW, so can finish the detection to this connection status on SecGW.In case this connection status has any variation, then SecGW just can detect this variation, and for example, variation has taken place the state of S1 link, X2 link or Itf-S link, then just can detect these variations on SecGW.

C, when being connected of Home Node B and EMS used NTP (Network Time Protocol) (NTP, NetworkTime Protocol), information is judged the Link State of transport layer in the time of also can utilizing the timing school of NTP, thereby knows the change information of Link State.

2), the state information of EMS active inquiry bottom carrying, this method can be divided into two kinds of situations as described below again:

A, EMS periodically inquire about the state information of bottom carrying, judge the online situation of Home Node B according to the state information of bottom carrying.Specifically, after Home Node B reached the standard grade, EMS started one-period status poll operation, periodically to bottom carrying transmit status query messages, transport layer state to bottom detects, and obtains the online situation of Home Node B according to the result who detects.This operation can be that EMS periodically detects the bottom-layer loading link state of all Home Node B; Also can be that all Home Node B are carried out poll, timesharing in batches HomeNode B is carried out the bottom-layer loading link state-detection, thereby alleviate the burden of EMS.The detection of the bottom loaded state here also can be the monitoring result of EMS inquiry SecGW to the bottom loaded state.

B, EMS start corresponding status poll operation according to the data traffic situation of Operation and Maintenance (OM) link.

EMS monitors the information flow-rate on the OM link between Home Node B and the EMS in real time.This detection to OM link information flow can be based on the detection of transport layer data flow, for example can detect at the flow of 2 pairs of packet of layer; Also can be in application layer, according to the difference of type of message, classification detects, and for example on the OM link, distinguishes type of messages such as detection notice, order or file transfer.This detection for OM link information flow, can the branch direction judge, for example, detect the data traffic of Home Node B to EMS, if Home Node B is non-vanishing to the data traffic of EMS, illustrate that then Home Node B has message to mail to EMS, so Home Node B is good to the OM link of EMS; For the packet of EMS to Home Node B, if handshake mechanism is arranged, then have only when EMS receives the response of Home Node B, illustrate that just Home Node B is good to the OM link of EMS.When carrying out the data traffic detection, the data traffic that can judge above-mentioned " the OM link is good " can be referred to as the valid data flow, and promptly Home Node B mails to the data traffic of EMS or EMS mails to Home Node B and receives the data traffic that Home Node B responds.

Within a certain period of time, when the valid data flow non-zero on the OM link, illustrating has the information transmission between Home NodeB and the EMS, so Home Node B should be in line states; This moment, EMS did not need to do the online situation detection of further Home Node B; When the valid data flow on the OM link is zero, EMS needs the further state information of inquiry bottom carrying, be used as judging whether HomeNode B is in the foundation of line states: promptly EMS transmit status query messages carries to bottom, bottom is carried on to be received after this query messages, return the state information of bottom link, EMS judges according to the state information of the bottom link that returns whether Home Node B is in line states.

2, EMS by and Home Node B between the online situation of OM link detecting Home Node B.

EMS also can utilize the OM link application layer message between Home Node B and the EMS to judge the online situation of Home Node B.

1), EMS is to Home Node B transmit status querying command.

Link between Home Node B and EMS is set up, and after EMS finished the configuration of Home Node B, after promptly the power up of H ome Node B was finished, EMS can according to circumstances start the testing process to the online situation of Home Node B.

Above-mentioned method equally also can be divided into periodically detection and condition detects:

A, periodically detection.Be that EMS periodically sends online status inquiry order to Home Node B, Home Node B returns a status indication information to EMS after receiving status inquiry command.If in predefined a period of time, EMS does not receive the information that Home Node B returns, and EMS thinks that then interruption has taken place the OM link of this Home Node B, therefore handles accordingly.In above-mentioned operation, can be EMS periodically to all Home Node B transmit status querying commands, the online situation of H ome Node is detected; Also can be that all Home Node B are carried out poll, timesharing in batches to Home Node B transmit status querying command, its state is detected, thereby can alleviate the burden of EMS.

B, EMS send corresponding status inquiry command according to the data traffic situation of OM link to Home Node B.At first, EMS monitors the data traffic on the OM link between Home Node B and the EMS in real time, the EMS here to the testing mechanism of OM link information flow and above-mentioned EMS the carrying (transport layer) by bottom to detect the testing mechanism of online situation of Home Node B identical.Within a certain period of time, when the valid data flow non-zero on the OM link, illustrating has the information transmission between Home NodeB and the EMS, and H ome Node B is in line states, and this moment, EMS did not need to further process; When the valid data flow on the OM link is zero, EMS is to Home NodeB transmit status querying command, Home Node B is after receiving this status inquiry command, return a presence indication to EMS, EMS illustrates that Home NodeB is in line states after receiving this presence indication; If in the certain hour of EMS after sending status inquiry command, do not receive from the state indication of Home Node B and reply that then EMS thinks that interruption has taken place the OM link of this Home Node B, thus the processing of being correlated with.

2), Home Node B regularly sends notification line to EMS.

Home Node B power on finish after, be sent in line states notice by OM isl cycle ground to EMS, be used to refer to the presence of Home Node B.EMS can know that this Home Node B is in line states after receiving the presence notice of Home Node B; If EMS is in predefined a period of time, do not receive the presence notice that Home Node B sends, interruption has taken place in the OM Link State that this Home Node B then is described, EMS judges that the online situation of base station from home is an off-line state, and handles accordingly.

When EMS detected the OM link generation interruption of Home Node B, EMS had following described two kinds of processing modes:

A, owing to the OM link of Home Node B interruption has taken place, therefore this Home Node B is for operator, to be in uncontrollable state, EMS directly discharges the network of relation resource of distributing to this Home Node B, and correspondingly the online situation with this Home Node B of being stored is updated to off-line state.

B, when the OM link take place to interrupt, this moment, Home Node B might interrupt to the link of other network nodes, the user might be also in the service of use network.Therefore, the EMS of Home Node B can be according to the identification information of this Home Node B, find the Mobility Management Entity (MME) that is connected with this Home Node B, and by and the EMS of the MME that found between mutual, obtain the state of the S1 link between this Home Node B and the MME.If interruption has taken place the S1 link, illustrate that then Home Node B has disconnected and being connected of network, so EMS is updated to off-line state with the online situation of this Home Node B of being stored, and discharges the Internet resources of having distributed to this HomeNode B; If the S1 link interrupts, then just Home Node B is out of joint to the connection of EMS in explanation, consider influence to user and network, EMS to the related network entity that is connected with this HomeNode B (for example at this moment, the MME that is connected by the S1 link with this Home Node B or other Node B that are connected by the X2 link with this Home Node B) send a clear message, then, EMS discharges the network of relation resource distributed to this Home Node B, and the online situation of this Home Node B of being stored is updated to off-line state.

3, EMS obtains the online situation of Home NodeB by the S1 link information between Home Node B and the MME.

EMS also can obtain its online situation by the interactive information between Home Node B and the MME.For the EMS under the Home Node B,, therefore need obtain described interactive information by the EMS of MME owing to the interactive information that can't directly obtain between Home Node B and the MME.

1), the EMS of Home Node B sends out query requests to the EMS of MME.

This method equally also can be divided into periodic detection and condition and detect.

The EMS of A, Home Node B is according to the information of the MME that is connected with this Home Node B, periodically the EMS to MME sends query messages, obtain the online situation of this Home Node B, described query messages carries the identification information of corresponding Home Node B.The EMS of MME is after the query messages of the EMS that receives Home Node B, sign according to the Home Node B that carries in this query messages, inquire about the state information of the S1 link between described Home Node B and the MME, return the online situation information of Home Node B according to the state information of S1 link to the EMS of Home Node B.Identical with the description among the embodiment of front, this detecting operation can be the EMS transmit status querying command of the MME that periodically connected to all Home Node B of EMS, and the online situation of Home Node B is detected; Also can be that Home Node B is carried out poll, the EMS transmit status querying command of the timesharing MME that is connected to Home Node B in batches detects the online situation of Home Node B, thereby alleviates the burden of EMS.

B, EMS be according to the data traffic situation of OM link, and the EMS of the MME that is connected to the Home of correspondence Node B sends corresponding STATUS ENQUIRY message.

EMS monitors the data traffic on the OM link between Home Node B and the EMS in real time, and the method for this detection data traffic is identical with the method for aforesaid detection data traffic.Promptly within a certain period of time, when the valid data flow of the OM link of this Home Node B is non-zero, illustrate that then HomeNode B is in line states, this moment, EMS did not need to detect by other modes the online situation of Home Node B; If within a certain period of time, when the valid data flow of the OM link of this Home Node B is zero, the information of the MME that connected according to this Home Node B of the EMS of this Home Node B then, the EMS of the MME that is connected to Home Node B sends query messages, obtains the online situation of Home Node B.The information of the MME that described this Home Node B is connected can be inquired about corresponding corresponding relation server (for example, name server or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server etc.) and be obtained by the EMS of the Home Node B identification information according to MME.

2), the EMS of MME sends Home Node B state variation message to the EMS of Home Node B.

Home Node B is after power up is finished, and corresponding S1 link is set up, and when the online situation of HomeNode B changed, the state of corresponding S1 link also can change.After state that the EMS of MME detects the S1 link of this Home Node B correspondence changes, then send the EMS of corresponding state variation message to Home Node B, carry the identification information of this Home Node B in this message.The EMS of Home Node B handles after receiving this message accordingly, and the online situation of this Home Node B of being stored is updated to off-line state.

Above-mentioned this method needs the EMS of MME to know the pairing EMS of this Home Node B, also needs the EMS of Home Node B to know the EMS of the MME that Home Node B is connected, utilizes the horizontal interface between the EMS to transmit corresponding information then.Corresponding informance between above-mentioned this Home Node B and the EMS under it, can when being linked into business network, be carried to business network by Home Node B, also can be by the EMS of MME sign according to Home Node B, inquiring about corresponding corresponding relation server (for example, name server or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server etc.) obtains.

By above-mentioned state-detection mechanism, EMS can understand the online situation of Home Node B in time, variation has taken place if EMS detects the state of Home Node B, EMS detects and is in line states less than Home Node B in other words, EMS will discharge the Internet resources of having distributed to this HomeNode B so, and the online situation of this Home Node B of being stored is updated to off-line state.

In the online situation testing process of Home Node B, can take aforesaid a certain detection method according to the actual needs, or take the combination of above-mentioned multiple detection method.

Two, the user carries out instantaneous pass/start operation to Home Node B.

When Home Node B was in line states, the user might carry out the operation of instantaneous pass/start to Home Node B, promptly the user after shutdown, the operation of starting shooting at once, the time interval of wherein closing, starting shooting is very little.EMS might receive the power on signal of HomeNode B before detecting Home Node B shutdown.For example, carry out the user under the situation of instantaneous pass/start operation, HomeNode B does not have enough time to send the pass signal of telecommunication; Perhaps owing to the problem (for example, the difference of route distance) of transmission network, though Home Node B has normally sent the pass signal of telecommunication, power on signal next time is than the first arrival of above-mentioned pass signal of telecommunication EMS.

At this moment, Home Node B still is in line states, and EMS can carry out following processing according to different situations for the power on signal of received Home NodeB:

1), receives the power on signal of Home Node B as EMS, if EMS does not also detect the off-line state of Home Node B, EMS does not receive the pass signal of telecommunication of this Home Node B in other words, then EMS need not above-mentioned power on signal is handled, promptly need not to upgrade the online situation of this HomeNode B that is stored, also need not to adjust the Internet resources of this Home Node B.

2), EMS is after the power on signal of receiving Home Node B, if in the very short time interval (this time interval can preestablish), received the pass signal of telecommunication of this Home Node B again, then EMS judges the situation that has occurred instantaneous pass/start on this Home Node B.At this moment, EMS can have following described two kinds of processing methods:

Method A, EMS do not do special processing for the situation of above-mentioned instantaneous pass/start, keep original Internet resources of distributing to this Home Node B, keep the original presence of this Home Node B.Be that EMS does not process the pass signal of telecommunication in the situation of above-mentioned instantaneous pass/start.

For unusual situation, when promptly Home Node B shut down (promptly being in off-line state) really, EMS can learn that this Home Node B has been in off-line state according to the testing result to the online situation of this Home Node B, and carries out next step processing.

Method B, EMS are judging that this Home Node B measures the environment around it with indication after the situation of instantaneous pass/start occurring on this Home Node B.If at the appointed time, EMS does not receive the measurement report of this Home Node B, and then EMS thinks that this Home Node B shuts down really, thereby is for further processing; If at the appointed time, EMS has received the measurement report of Home Node B, and then EMS need carry out different processing as described below according to measurement report:

I), EMS compares the relevant environment information of this Home Node B of being preserved among the relevant environment information in the measurement report of this Home Node B (for example, adjacent area power, interference etc.) and the EMS before.Describedly relatively need a principle, the strategy that this principle can come from operator (for example, the Interference Control strategy), also can be that system is according to actual conditions, under the prerequisite of consideration to the influence of system, certain judgment criterion of being made, for example, the thresholding of the predefined various influences that system is caused.If above-mentioned comparative result is (promptly less than predefined thresholding) within predefined thresholding, then EMS thinks that the relevant environment information of this Home Node B of being preserved among relevant environment information that this Home Node B is new and the EMS is more or less the same, EMS will keep original Internet resources and relevant configured parameter (comprising wireless parameter configuration and transmission parameter configuration) of distributing to this Home Node B, be configured process no longer again.

Ii), according to top comparison principle, if environmental change situation or the influence that system causes surpassed predefined thresholding, then EMS need be this Home Node B allocation of network resources again, be that EMS discharges original Internet resources of distributing to this Home Node B, again carry out a layoutprocedure, for it distributes new Internet resources (comprising Radio Resource and transfer resource).

The 3rd preferred embodiment, EMS close the management of electricity condition to Home Node B.

When Home Node B closes the electricity operation, need send one to network and close the signal of telecommunication, EMS can close the signal of telecommunication according to this to be managed accordingly.The pass electricity condition of management when EMS is in to(for) Home Node B has following described two kinds of situations:

1), Home Node B is after closing electric process, EMS has received the pass signal of telecommunication of Home Node B, at this moment, EMS discharges the Internet resources of distributing to this Home Node B, the online situation of this Home Node B of being stored is updated to off-line state, finishes the pass electric process of Home Node B.

2), after Home Node B closes electricity, EMS does not receive that (for example, the user directly pulls out power supply, makes Home Node B have little time to send the pass signal of telecommunication from the pass signal of telecommunication of Home Node B; Perhaps Home Node B has sent the pass signal of telecommunication, but because other reasons, EMS does not receive the described pass signal of telecommunication).At this moment, EMS thinks that still Home Node B is in line states.The Home Node B presence of management method when in this case, EMS still adopts to(for) the management of Home Node B.EMS is by aforesaid state-detection mechanism, after Home Node B closes electricity, detect the variation of the online situation of Home Node B in time, discharge the Internet resources distribute to this Home Node B, the online situation of this Home Node B of being stored is updated to off-line state.
