Abstract

Faced with the growth of massive data in the 5G network and the low query efficiency in the existing signaling synthesis algorithm, the traditional LTE/LTE-A signaling monitor scheme has been unable to satisfy with the new 5G network architecture. The Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol is the core of the control plane, which manages and controls the wireless resources of the network. Based on this, a signaling monitor scheme of RRC protocol suitable for 5G road tester was proposed and the specific functions of its main submodule were introduced in detail. Additionally, this paper discussed an improved dynamic hash signaling synthesis algorithm based on AVL tree under a new network architecture. The tree structure is used to reduce the query time of traditional algorithm in the hash table, so as to quickly deal with hash collisions and improve the real time on the signaling synthesis. At present, the proposed scheme was applied to the real network testing of air interface data in the 5G road tester. The experimental results show that the improved algorithm can efficiently solve the issue of low efficiency of Call Detail Recording (CDR) synthesis and the average query time can be reduced by 49.3% and 33.1% compared with the two traditional algorithms. The signaling synthesis scheme described above achieves the expected effect and signaling messages in RRC protocol can be accurately decoded and monitored in real time.
