Abstract:
A method for replace-block loading in a personal communication services (PCS) system in order to replace a target application block corresponding to a target processor during normal operation of a plurality of processors in a base station controller (BSC) the method comprising the steps of:creating a loading table and allocating a save-buffer for application blocks corresponding to the plurality of processors in said BSC and a replace buffer (rpl-buffer) for said target application block to be replaced corresponding to said target processor;down-loading an application block corresponding to a call control processor (CCP) from a base station manager (BSM);loading an application block corresponding to all lower-level processors of said CCP, said application block being stored in a buffer of said CCP;receiving a replace-loading-block (RPL-LDNG-BLK) command from said BSM;confirming the type of said target processor; andloading said target application block according to the type of said target processor.
