Abstract

Provided are a method and apparatus for implementing self recovery of a base station device, which relate to the technical field of communications. The method includes that: it is monitored, in real time, whether a base station device generates a fault or performance index event; when it is monitored that the base station device generates the fault or performance index event, a self-recovery alarm configuration file is searched according to the monitored fault or performance index event; corresponding self-recovery execution information is acquired according to the found self-recovery alarm configuration file; and self-recovery is implemented according to the self-recovery execution information. By means of automatic self-recovery on an alarm based on a found pre-provided self-recovery rule, the technical solution can reduce the complexity of manually handling a fault, and reduces the dependence of fault handling on a professional engineer.

Claims (25)

1. A method for implementing self recovery of a base station device, comprising:

monitoring, in real time, whether the base station device generates a fault or performance index event;

searching, when it is monitored that the base station device generates the fault or performance index event, for a self-recovery alarm configuration file according to the monitored fault or performance index event;

acquiring corresponding self-recovery execution information according to the found self-recovery alarm configuration file; and

implementing self-recovery according to the self-recovery execution information;

wherein the self-recovery alarm configuration file comprises a single Network Equipment (NE) self-recovery alarm configuration file and an associated NE self-recovery alarm configuration file; the single NE self-recovery alarm configuration file is saved in an NE, and the associated NE self-recovery alarm configuration file is saved in a network manager;

wherein searching, when it is monitored that the base station device generates the fault or performance index event, for the self-recovery alarm configuration file according to the monitored fault or performance index event comprises: searching, when it is monitored that the base station device generates a fault or performance index event of a single NE, the NE for the self-recovery alarm configuration file according to the monitored fault or performance index event of the single NE; and searching, when it is monitored that the base station device generates a fault or performance index event of an associated NE, a network manager for the self-recovery alarm configuration file according to the monitored fault or performance index event of the associated NE.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the self-recovery execution information comprises a self-recovery action, a self-recovery execution mode and a self-recovery execution device for executing the self-recovery action.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the self-recovery action comprises a recovery action, a compensation action and an ending action.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein when the single NE or associated NE is not able to recover an alarm about the fault or performance index event by using the recovery action, the compensation action is executed,

the compensation action referring to that an NE having no alarm is not allowed to be switched to a fault cell of an NE having the alarm by modifying a parameter of the NE having no alarm.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein searching, when it is monitored that the base station device generates the fault or performance index event, for the self-recovery alarm configuration file according to the monitored fault or performance index event comprises:

searching, when it is monitored that the base station device generates a fault or performance index event of a single NE, the NE for the self-recovery alarm configuration file according to the monitored fault or performance index event of the single NE; and

searching, when it is monitored that the base station device generates a fault or performance index event of an associated NE, a network manager for the self-recovery alarm configuration file according to the monitored fault or performance index event of the associated NE.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the self-recovery execution information comprises a self-recovery action, a self-recovery execution mode and a self-recovery execution device for executing the self-recovery action.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the self-recovery action comprises a recovery action, a compensation action and an ending action.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein when the single NE or associated NE is not able to recover an alarm about the fault or performance index event by using the recovery action, the compensation action is executed,

the compensation action referring to that an NE having no alarm is not allowed to be switched to a fault cell of an NE having the alarm by modifying a parameter of the NE having no alarm.

9. An apparatus for implementing self recovery of a base station device, comprising:

a monitoring component, configured to monitor, in real time, whether the base station device generates a fault or performance index event;

a searching component, configured to search, when it is monitored that the base station device generates the fault or performance index event, for a self-recovery alarm configuration file according to the monitored fault or performance index event;

an acquisition component, configured to acquire corresponding self-recovery execution information according to the found self-recovery alarm configuration file; and

a self-recovery component, configured to implement self-recovery according to the self-recovery execution information;

wherein the self-recovery alarm configuration file comprises a single Network Equipment (NE) self-recovery alarm configuration file and an associated NE self-recovery alarm configuration file; the single NE self-recovery alarm configuration file being saved in an NE, and the associated NE self-recovery alarm configuration file being saved in a network manager;

wherein the searching component comprises: an NE searching element, configured to search, when it is monitored that the base station device generates a fault or performance index event of a single NE, the NE for the self-recovery alarm configuration file according to the monitored fault or performance index event of the single NE; and a network manager searching element, configured to search, when it is monitored that the base station device generates a fault or performance index event of an associated NE, a network manager for the self-recovery alarm configuration file according to the monitored fault or performance index event of the associated NE.
