A CU (Centralized Unit) -DU (Distributed Unit) separation architecture is a novel architecture generated based on flexible configuration considerations in a 5G context, and actually divides a Control plane and a user plane, and of course, it is decided to divide between a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) layer and an RLC (Radio Link Control Protocol) layer from a scene consideration, that is, CUs are divided into CU-C and CU-U including RRC (Radio resource Control), RRM (Radio resource management) and PDCP (Radio resource Control), and a PHY (Physical layer) including RRM, RLC, MAC (Medium Access Control, media Access Control), and PHY (Physical layer). The DU may also require process control modules other than RRM for a specific implementation.
As shown in fig. 1, a control plane architecture for an existing base station is mainly composed of functional modules such as RRC, RRM, AP (application protocol), and MISC, where the RRC mainly supports the implementation of the functions of the RRC protocol, including cell, paging, system information, and RRC procedures; the RRM mainly supports the realization of algorithm functions of a base station, including resource allocation, admission control, load control, other algorithms and the like; the AP mainly supports the function realization of NGAP protocol, XNAP protocol, F1AP protocol and the like.

A) the functional division is not beneficial to the realization of the requirements of the CU-DU;
B) the process control angle RRC, RRM and AP respectively trigger and control the protocol process in different scenes, and particularly the RRC and AP maintain two sets of states which conflict with each other or one end of the RRC and the other end of the AP are abnormal passively in part of cases;
C) dynamic capacity expansion of the gNB under the cloud platform scene cannot be smoothly supported;
D) the adaptive matching process is not able to cope with the functional and performance needs of CU-DU integration and separation scenarios.

Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.
Referring to fig. 2, a system architecture based on a centralized base station control plane according to the present invention is shown, which specifically includes the following modules:
a Coordination Control Unit (CCU) module, configured to perform capacity expansion on a cell in a server or between servers;
the server may be a core network server, and the core network includes a plurality of servers, and is used for processing signaling, data, charging policy, and the like. In the embodiment of the present invention, which type of server is specifically expanded may be adjusted according to actual needs, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 3, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the coordination control module includes:
an SI (Service Inner) submodule, which is used for enhancing the processing capacity of any cell or expanding the capacity of the number of newly added cells aiming at the inside of the server;
and the SO (Service Outer) submodule is used for enhancing the processing capacity of any cell or expanding the capacity of the number of newly added cells aiming at the space between the servers.
Specifically, the SI sub-module may include an Inter Cell unit and an Intra Cell unit, where the Inter Cell unit is configured to perform capacity expansion processing for the Inter Cell, and the Intra Cell unit is configured to perform capacity expansion processing for the Intra Cell; the SO submodule also can comprise an Inter Cell unit and an Intra Cell unit, wherein the Inter Cell unit is used for carrying out capacity expansion processing aiming at the cells, and the Intra Cell unit is used for carrying out capacity expansion processing aiming at the cells; the capacity expansion process may be a capacity expansion process for enhancing the processing capability of any cell or increasing the number of newly added cells.
It should be noted that the difference between the SI submodule and the SO submodule is that the SI submodule performs capacity expansion processing on each cell (including inter-cell and intra-cell) in the same server, and the SO submodule performs capacity expansion processing on each cell (including inter-cell and intra-cell) between different servers. The expanding the cell includes expanding the number of cells and the number of users in the cell, and enhancing the performance of the cell processing capacity, including the performance of hardware and/or software.
Since the function of the CCU module is almost the same whether it is on the CU (Centralized Unit) side or the DU (Distributed Unit) side, the above description of the CCU module can be applied to the CU side or the DU side.
A Protocol Handling Unit (PHU) module for receiving and/or forwarding the standard interface message, and encoding and/or decoding the standard interface message;
in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the protocol processing module includes:
a Radio Resource Control (RRC) submodule for encoding and/or decoding an RRC protocol standard interface message;

an X2AP (X2 application protocol ) sub-module, configured to receive and/or forward an X2AP protocol standard interface message, and encode and/or decode the standard interface message.
Specifically, the RRC submodule includes an encoding (Encode) unit/decoding (Decode) unit for encoding or decoding an RRC protocol standard interface message.

It should be noted that the independent forwarding unit is adopted in the F1AP sub-module because the F1AP sub-module forwards a large amount of messages, and the common forwarding unit is adopted in the NgAP sub-module, the XnAP sub-module, and the X2AP sub-module because the NgAP sub-module, the XnAP sub-module, and the X2AP sub-module forwards a small amount of messages.
Further, since the functional coverage of the CU side and the DU side are different, the sub-modules of the PHU module on the CU side and the DU side are different, as shown in fig. 4A, the PHU module includes an RRC sub-module, an F1AP sub-module, an NgAP sub-module, an XnAP sub-module, and an X2AP sub-module on the CU side; as shown in fig. 4B, the PHU module includes an RRC sub-module and an F1AP sub-module on the DU side; the RRC sub-module and the F1AP sub-module in the DU side are the same as the RRC sub-module and the F1AP sub-module in the CU side, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted here.

an Access Control (AC) sub-module for performing calculation processing for an admission Control algorithm;
and an RA (Resource allocation) sub-module for performing calculation processing for a Resource allocation algorithm.
Since the functional coverage of the CU side and the DU side are different, the sub-modules of the AHU module on the CU side and the DU side are also different, as shown in fig. 5A, the AHU module includes a CA sub-module, a DC sub-module, an MM sub-module, an LB sub-module, an HO sub-module, an AC sub-module, and an RA sub-module on the CU side, as shown in fig. 5B, the AHU module includes the LB sub-module, the AC sub-module, and the RA sub-module on the DU side, which are the same as the LB sub-module, the AC sub-module, and the RA sub-module on the CU side, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.
In particular, for the LB function DU, it may be mainly responsible for collecting and reporting the load data, and the CU is mainly responsible for processing the load data and triggering the judgment and execution of the operation. For the RA function, the scenario is divided according to the existing CU-DU, the DU is mainly responsible for the allocation of the resources of the RLC, MAC and PHY layers and the related user indexes of the DU, and the CU is mainly responsible for the allocation of the resources of the PDCP layer and the related user indexes of the CU.

the CONTEXT submodule is used for controlling a CONTEXT management process between the CU side and the DU side;
and the CONFIGURATION submodule is used for controlling the CONFIGURATION process of the bottom layer parameters at the DU side.
Specifically, the PCU module is mainly used for flow control, and includes three major parts, namely, a CELL process (CELL), a PAGING Process (PAGING), and an ACCESS process (ACCESS), on a CU side, the CELL process may be further divided into CM (Configuration Management), PM (Parameters Management), SIM (System Information Management), and System Information Management, the PAGING process may be further divided into AMF (Authentication Management Field) (core Network level), RAN (radio ACCESS Network) (ACCESS Network level), and the ACCESS process may be further divided into multiple connections, such as Initial ACCESS, Recovery (re-establishment or Recovery), Handover, and multiconnection (CA/DC), as shown in fig. 6A. For the DU side, the CELL process (CELL), the CONTEXT management process (CONTEXT), the CONFIGURATION of the underlying parameters (CONFIGURATION), and the PAGING Process (PAGING) are divided, as shown in fig. 6B, wherein sub-modules of the CELL process are consistent with those of the CU side. Specifically, for the function of the SIM in the cell process, the CU side may store and forward system information, and the DU side may construct and encode the system information. For the PAGING function, the main role of the CU side is PAGING reception and range control of the AMF and RAN, and the main role of the DU side is calculation, configuration and coding of specific PAGING occasions.
