Fig. 2 is the schematic flow sheet of Oftware updating method according to an embodiment of the invention.
Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
At first need explanation, the present invention is applicable to and anyly by central server far end system is upgraded.In such system, usually the work continuity to system business requires very high, promptly require the system can continual work, in the software upgrading process of this type systematic, usually require the software upgrading influence that operation brings to system business to reach minimum, interrupting service can make preferably that also time of service interruption is short as far as possible if desired.Communication system is exactly a typical example.In this type systematic, the update of software is very fast usually, and component distribution safeguards the comparison difficulty at a distance.Below with reference to accompanying drawing, Oftware updating method of the present invention is described by software upgrading to radio communication system base station equipment.
In the present invention, software is divided into three parts, as shown in Figure 2, software is by software packet header 10, and software upgrading relevant portion 11 and software remainder 12 are formed.
Below the version of original software is called software A, will be called software B by the upgrading software version.According to one embodiment of present invention the update method of software of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing 3.
In step 110, Systems Operator's Control Server transmits new version software B packet header and the part relevant with software upgrading to the base station.This moment, the base station was still at the original version software A of operation.The packet header of software package all is a set form usually, has comprised the overall information of software package, for example the version information of software package, software package size, subsequent file number or the like.Base station software A can pass through the information of the packet header information Recognition software B subsequent file of software B, version information by software B carries out legal control to software version, set up the subsequent content tabulation by the packet header information of software, thereby improve the transmission efficiency of subsequent file.The software upgrading relevant portion has comprised the self information of upgrade software, for example inlet of new function or the like.Usually the software upgrading relevant portion also is a set form immediately following in the packet header back, therefore can get access to successively.Because what it adopted is set form, therefore original software A also can discern smoothly.After having transmitted the upgrading relevant portion of software B, base station software A has obtained the inlet title of new power function.
Then enter into step 120, the upgrading relevant portion of software B is loaded into the reservation internal memory by original software A.This step can be finished by sending order to the base station by the Systems Operator, also can design in software A, makes software A to discern automatically and to load, thereby realizes the loading of the upgrading correlation function of software B.In the present invention, A also has certain requirement to legacy version software, and promptly software A must can be loaded into the new version software B upgrading relevant information that receives and reserve interior nonresident portion simultaneously for new version software B reserves a part of internal memory.But this point can't limit use of the present invention because before having carried out after the continuous work, promptly utilize prior art to carry out upgrading for the first time after, make software have above-mentioned functions, later renewal just can have been used the method among the present invention.At this moment, the base station is still at the original software A of operation, but the upgrading relevant portion of software B has suffered at internal memory.
Then enter step 130, change base station software function entrance makes the upgrading relevant portion be updated to the upgrading part of new version software.In this step, can in system symbol, seek the inlet of new function, and the inlet title of new function after being over the upgrading relevant portion of new version software B, has been obtained in step 110 by original software A in transmission.Then power function is replaced to new functional entrance.This step also can design function corresponding and be realized by software.By this step, the relevant part of service in base station operation of original software A has disconnected with software A upgrades being connected of relevant portion, and the part relevant with the upgrading of new version software B in reserving internal memory has been connected, at this moment, the relevant part of BTS service operation is still at the original software A of operation, and the upgrading relevant portion is at the relevant portion of operation new version software B.
Then enter step 140, system uses the new upgrading correlation function that loads to transmit the remainder of new version software.Upgraded relevant portion with the relevant part of upgrading in this moment base station, and remainder is still moving original software A for new version software B.Therefore remaining escalation process has all been finished by the correlation function of new version software B.For example, if the raising transmission efficiency, increased compression function newly, and original software A does not have decompressing function, original method can't conveniently be finished upgrade function, and in the method for the invention, relevant part loads and has moved owing to will upgrade in above-mentioned step, and decompressing function is owing to wherein be loaded with relevant also being comprised in of upgrading, therefore the base station software of this moment has had decompressing function, just can finish the reception and the decompression of subsequent file, thereby finish the seamless connection of function.Again for example, in order to improve transmission efficiency, increased the reading in advance of software package, then do not transmitted as identical, and only transmit part inequality, introduced new function like this, then need change the structure of software package, thereby cause original operating software can't discern the software package of format, and in existing invention, the upgrading relevant portion of new software B then can be discerned the form change of this software package, in time introduces and utilized simultaneously new upgrading correlation function.When this step is finished, there is the software of new and old two kinds of versions in the base station.
Enter step 150 at last, Systems Operator's each parts of base station that reset, new version software brings into operation.Thereby finished the renewal of software.In this step, after each parts of base station reset at short notice, the new version software that promptly brings into operation, so service outage duration is very short.
Though by reference some preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is illustrated and describes, but those of ordinary skill in the art should be understood that, can do various changes to it in the form and details, and the spirit and scope of the present invention that do not depart from appended claims and limited.
