Abstract

A method for controlling data of base stations is disclosed. A base station management server generates and stores base station management data and mobile switching center access data. The base station management server receives requests of base station management data by a mobile terminal through a communication network. The base station management server transmits the base station management data to the mobile terminal in response to the request. It is more convenient when managers or operators manage and operate the base station management server because they do not need to physically move to view and/or modify the data of the base station.

(c) transmitting the predetermined BSM data in response to the demand to the mobile terminal.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the BSM data is generated based on BSM statistic data or detailed call records.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the MSC access data grants an MSC access authority to the mobile terminal, and restricts access of the mobile terminal to an MSC.

zero call” and

a “

base station based finding”

;

(b-3) transmitting a BS list including at least one base station to the mobile terminal when the “

base station based finding”

is selected, the BS list corresponding to the “

base station based finding”

;

(b-4) searching the MSC access data for an MSC access grade of the mobile terminal and transmitting a BSM menu corresponding to the MSC access grade, when one of the BS list is selected by the mobile terminal; and

(b-5) receiving one of the BSM menu corresponding to the selection of the mobile terminal;

wherein the step (c) comprises the step of searching the BSM data in response to one of the BSM menu and providing the BSM data to the mobile terminal.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the BSM menu according to the MSC access rank includes a “

monitor” and

a “

modification”

.

6. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the step (b) comprises the steps of:

(b-6) transmitting a time unit menu including at least one time unit when the “

zero call”

is selected by the mobile terminal; and

(b-7) receiving one of the time unit selected by the mobile terminal,

wherein the step (c) comprises the step of searching a zero call data from the BSM data in response to the received time unit and providing the zero call data to the mobile terminal.

7. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the step (b-3) comprises the steps of:

b-31) transmitting a predetermined web page for writing a base station name to the mobile terminal when a “

base station name based finding”

is selected by the mobile terminal, the “

base station name based finding”

which is included in the “

base station based finding”

with a “

MSC based finding”

;

b-32) receiving the web page on which the base station name is written by the mobile terminal; and

b-33) transmitting a base station list to the mobile terminal corresponding to the base station name written on the web page.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the part of the name of the base station is written on the web page at the step (b-32), and

wherein the step (b-33) further comprises the step of providing a base station list to the mobile terminal corresponding to the written name of the base station.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the step (b-3) comprises the steps of:

(b-34) transmitting the MSC list based on the MSC access data to the mobile terminal when the “

MSC based finding”

is selected by the mobile terminal;

(b-35) transmitting a base station controller list to the mobile terminal, the base station controller list being included in the MSC selected by the mobile terminal among the MSC list;

(b-36) transmitting a base station list to the mobile terminal, the base station list being included in the base station controller selected by the mobile terminal among the base station controller list.

10. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the step (b-5) comprises the steps of:

(b-5-11) transmitting a call quality statistic menu including the time unit menu to the mobile terminal, when the “

CALL QUALITY”

in the BSM menu is selected by the mobile terminal; and

(b-5-12) receiving one of the time unit selected by the mobile terminal;

wherein the step (c) comprises the step of searching data of the call quality statistic according to the time unit from the BSM data, and providing the call quality data to the mobile terminal.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the call quality statistic menu according to the time unit includes a total data, a sector data for a predetermined time, and a frequency allocation for a predetermined time, and wherein the total data, the sector data, and the frequency allocation include each call traffic statistic, call cut statistic, and the number of call try, respectively.

12. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the step (c) comprises the step of searching an alarm information of a base station from the BSM data, and transmitting the alarm information to the mobile terminal when the “

ALARM”

in the BSM menu is selected by the mobile terminal.

13. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the step (b-5) comprises the step of:

(b-5-21) providing a “

BLOCK/UNBLOCK”
