Abstract
This invention discloses a method for establishing IPOA channel-based maintenance channels. The invention establishes an IPOA channel between a base station and a base station controller with configuration of the base station. A BOOTP request is initiated from the base station to an operation and maintenance center, and the base station obtains an IP address assigned to it from a response sent from the operation and maintenance center, so that an operation and maintenance channel is established between the base station and the base station controller. The invention can solve automatic base station launching problem, and can prevent IP address conflicts and implement parallel launching of base stations. In addition, with the method described in this invention, operation of establishing maintenance channels is simple, light in workload, and reliable. Thus, program and data auto-loading as well as configuration and maintenance of base station(s) at far end (i.e., the operation and maintenance center) can be achieved. The method described in this invention is superior in quality and low cost in maintenance, and can be applied to various networking patterns, such as star-type, chain-type, and tree-type networks.
