The Design and Application of FEU: Automation Monitoring Unit for 5G base stations

Abstract

In order to realize the co-construction, sharing and intensive management of millions of stations across the network, supporting 5G go into operation efficiently, China Tower Group has developed a new generation of intensive and distributed operation maintenance monitoring platform over the inherited mobile base stations from the three major telecom operators. Based on the development and the application of this platform, FEU (an intelligent Power and Environment Monitoring Unit) is proposed, which uses the dynamic shared library method to embed the edge gateway to realize the edge computing capability of China Tower's intelligent operation and maintenance platform. It effectively solves the normalized monitoring of heterogeneous FSU and massive sites, constructs the intensive operation maintenance capability for China Tower and lays a solid foundation for the tower-based IoT [1, 2] expansion business.
