Abstract

Disclosed are a method and device for guaranteeing consistency of planning data, which relate to the field of wireless networks. The method comprises: according to an actual configuration of a network, the network management data about an actual operation of the network is derived; the planning data is converted into an intermediate file with a same format as that of the network management data; the intermediate file is compared with the network management data, and the network management data is updated according to the comparison result to enable the planning data to be consistent with the network management data. The present disclosure can guarantee that the planning data is consistent with the network management data, thereby guaranteeing the performance reliability of the network during operation.

Claims

1. A method for guaranteeing consistency of planning data, comprising:

according to an actual configuration of a network, deriving network management data about an actual operation of the network;

converting the planning data into an intermediate file, wherein a format of the intermediate file is the same as a format of the network management data; and

comparing the intermediate file with the network management data, and updating the network management data according to a comparison result to enable the planning data to be consistent with the network management data.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein network planning is performed according to a network situation and a network planning rule to obtain the planning data with a preset template format.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein a configuration file is generated according to the preset template format, and the planning data is set according to the configuration file to obtain the intermediate file with the same format as the format of the network management data.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the comparison result contains identification information for identifying data modification or data deletion.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein when the identification information is used for identifying data modification, the network management data is modified according to the planning data.

6. The method according to claim 4, wherein when the identification information is used for identifying data deletion, the network management data is deleted.

7. A device for guaranteeing consistency of planning data, comprising:

a data deriving component configured to derive network management data about an actual operation of a network according to an actual configuration of the network;

a data conversion component configured to convert the planning data into an intermediate file, wherein a format of the intermediate file is the same as a format of the network management data; and

a data updating component configured to compare the intermediate file with the network management data, and update the network management data according to a comparison result to enable the planning data to be consistent with the network management data.

8. The device according to claim 7, wherein the device further comprises:

a planning data generation component configured to perform network planning according to a network situation and a network planning rule to obtain the planning data with a preset template format.

9. The device according to claim 7 or 8, wherein the data conversion component comprises:

a configuration file generation sub-component configured to generate a configuration file according to the preset template format; and

an intermediate file generation sub-component configured to set the planning data according to the configuration file to obtain the intermediate file with the same format as that of the network management data.

10. The device according to claim 7 or 8, wherein the data updating component comprises:

a data comparison sub-component configured to compare the intermediate file with the network management data to obtain a comparison result with identification information, wherein the identification information is used for identifying data modification or data deletion; and

a comparison result application sub-component configured to modify the network management data according to the planning data when the identification information is used for identifying data modification, and delete the network management data when the identification information is used for identifying data deletion.

11. The device according to claim 8, wherein the data conversion component comprises:

a configuration file generation sub-component configured to generate a configuration file according to the preset template format; and

an intermediate file generation sub-component configured to set the planning data according to the configuration file to obtain the intermediate file with the same format as that of the network management data.

12. The device according to claim 8, wherein the data updating component comprises:

a data comparison sub-component configured to compare the intermediate file with the network management data to obtain a comparison result with identification information, wherein the identification information is used for identifying data modification or data deletion; and

a comparison result application sub-component configured to modify the network management data according to the planning data when the identification information is used for identifying data modification, and delete the network management data when the identification information is used for identifying data deletion.
