Abstract

The disclosure is directed to a method of accessing a radio network, a server and a base station of a radio access network, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium thereof. In an embodiment, the method includes the following steps: initializing one or more base stations, transmitting the information of a control function to the server, transmitting commands with control parameter configuration to the one or more base stations. The one or more base stations separate the control function and data function for communication protocols.

Claims

1. A server in a radio network, comprising:

a control determination module to initialize one or more base stations; and

a control information module to collect the information of a control function from one or more base stations, and the control determination module give commands with control parameter configuration to the one or more base stations;

wherein the one or more base stations separate the control function and a data function for communication protocols.

2. The server of claim 1, wherein the server connects a plurality of the base stations.

3. The server of claim 1, wherein the server is a server in the radio network, cloud radio access network or Ultra Dense Network, or a server with a base band unit.

4. The server of claim 1, wherein the base station is a remote radio head, a base station, a small cell, a micro cell, a picro cell or evoluted Node base station (eNB).

5. The server of claim 1, wherein the server calculates a relationship according to neighbor'"'"'s relationship among a plurality of the base stations and transmits a calculating result to the base station.

6. The server of claim 1, wherein the server comprises a control logic interface.

7. The server of claim 6, wherein the control logic interface of the server communicates with a control logic interface of the base station.

8. A base station in a radio network, comprising:

an executor gets initialization actions from a server; and

a control information report transmits information of control functions to the server;

wherein the base station separates the control function and data function for communication protocols.

9. The base station of claim 8, wherein the executor comprises a control receptor.

10. The base station of claim 9, wherein the control receptor receives commands with control parameter configuration from the server.

11. The base station of claim 10, wherein the control receptor determines a layer of the communication protocols according to the commands with control parameter configuration, and transmits the commands with control parameter configuration to the layer of the communication protocols.

12. The base station of claim 8, wherein the server connects a plurality of the base stations.

13. The base station of claim 8, wherein the base station comprises a control logic interface.

14. The base station of claim 13, wherein the control logic interface of the server base station communicates with a control logic interface of the server.

15. The base station of claim 8, wherein the base station comprises a data logic interface.

16. The base station of claim 15, wherein the data logic interface of the base station communicates with the data logic interface of the other base station.

17. The base station of claim 8, wherein separation of the control function and the data function are performed on layers of the communication protocol vertically, whereby the control and data functions are separately processed, thereby achieving a vertical transmission channel.

18. The base station of claim 8 wherein separation of the control function and the data function performed on at least one of the layers of communication protocol.

19. A method for accessing a radio network, comprising:

initializing one or more base stations;

transmitting the information of a control function to a server; and

transmitting commands of control parameter configuration to the one or more base stations;

wherein the one or more base stations separate the control function and data function for communication protocols.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the server connects a plurality of the base stations.

21. The method of claim 19, wherein the server calculates a relationship according to neighbor'"'"'s relationship among the plurality of the base stations and transmits a calculating result to the base station.

22. The method of claim 19, wherein the base station determines a layer of the communication protocols according to the commands with control parameter configuration, and transmits the commands with control parameter configuration to the layer of the communication protocols.

23. The method of claim 19, wherein the base station comprises a control logic interface, and the control logic interface communicates with a control logic interface of the server.

24. The method of claim 19, wherein the base station comprises a data logic interface, and the data logic interface communicates with the data interface of the other base station.

25. The method of claim 19 wherein separation of the control function and the data function are performed on layers of the communication protocol vertically, whereby the control and data functions are separately processed, thereby achieving a vertical transmission channel.

26. The method of claim 19 wherein separation of the control function and the data function performed on at least one of the layers of communication protocol.

27. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium embodying a computer program product, the computer program product comprising instructions configured to cause a computing device to perform a method comprising:

initializing one or more base stations;

transmitting the information of a control function to the server; and

transmitting commands of control parameter configuration to the one or more base stations;

wherein the one or more base stations separate the control function and data function for communication protocols.

28. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 27, wherein the base station determines the layer of the communication protocols according to the commands with control parameter configuration, and transmits the commands with control parameter:

configuration to the layer of the communication protocols.
