In prior art, what between BBU and RRU, transmit is IQ data, and the data volume of IQ data is very large, is described as follows.
If adopt existing CPRI interface, the required IQ transmission bandwidth of various different communication protocol is as shown in the table:
Communication protocol Specification IQ transmission bandwidth
GSM 40*200KHz?TRX 1.2G
TD-SCDMA 15*1.6MHz contained fan 6G
LTE 1*20MHz, 8 antennas 9.8G
Can find from above, the passback of 10G optical fiber is used for carrying pure GSM station capacity can reach approximately 360 carrier frequency, and pure TD-SCDMA station capacity is for being less than 30 1.6M contained fans.And for the LTE station of 8 antenna 20MHz, the passback of 10G optical fiber only can be carried 1 carrier wave.
Therefore, in order to reduce the volume of transmitted data between BBU and RRU, in specific embodiments of the invention, the function of RRU and BBU is carried out to division again, the function of part physical layer is transferred in RRU and realized, in specific embodiments of the invention, the down-sampled function setting of the FFT/IFFT in physical layer and PRACH can be realized in RRU.
In this case, described remote radio unit (RRU) also comprises the RF processing unit, Digital IF Processing unit and the fast Fourier transform unit that are linked in sequence, and the first data that the first encapsulation unit encapsulates are the up frequency domain data of described fast Fourier transform unit output.
Taking the LTE system of 8 antenna 20MHz as example, under 20MHz, systematic sampling rate is [(2048+160) * 2+(2048+14) * 14] * 1000=30.72Mbps; Each 16 bit quantizations of I/Q data.In existing BBU+RRU system, I/Q data need adopt 8/10 coding.Data transfer bandwidth between RRU and BBU is 30.72Mbps*32*(10/8 so) * 8=9.8304Gbps.

If efficient resource piece (Resource Block, RB) number is R, the compression ratio of compression algorithm in frequency domain is 1/2, data transfer bandwidth between RRU and BBU is 12*R*14*32*8*1000*1/2 so, maximum transmission bandwidth occurs at full capacity in the situation of (R=100), and data transfer bandwidth is now only 2.1504Gbps.This just means that 10G optical fiber passback can carry 58 antenna 20MHz TD-LTE stations nearly.
Figure 4 shows that the embodiment of the present invention carries out the process chart of data screening.
As shown in Figure 4, first, the schedule information that current MAC layer is issued physical layer by BBU sends to RRU.Secondly, the part L1 data that BBU need to prepare it send to RRU.Above-mentioned MAC layer schedule information arrives before RRU carries out corresponding sub-frame of uplink IQ data processing, makes L1 data after RRU processes, need to meet the sequential of eating dishes without rice or wine of communication protocol.Therefore both do not have absolute time order and function relation.Then, RRU carries out IQ data processing and data screening etc. according to the MAC layer schedule information of receiving after receiving upstream data.Finally, effective L1 data are sent to BBU by RRU.
Said process moves in circles, and has reduced RRU and be transferred to the upstream data of BBU.
Figure 5 shows that the embodiment of the present invention carries out the process chart of cooperative reception.
As shown in Figure 5, in the time carrying out Collaborative processing between different base station.RRU, based on MAC layer schedule information and Collaborative information, need to carry out the Data dissemination of collaborative process to multiple BBU.
Taking RRU1 as example, as shown in Figure 5, RRU1 is multiple packets by the Information encapsulation after screening, wherein the effective L1 data of a part send to BBU1, and another part sends to BBU2 as collaboration data, and BBU2 can be according to Collaborative information in follow-up processing flow by these transfer of data to BBU1, integrate processing by BBU1 according to another part data of the effective L1 data of part that receive and BBU2 transmission, realize cooperative reception.
In like manner, the data that BBU also can send needs cooperation are distributed in an identical manner multiple RRU and send.
Because the data volume of RRU output is with the dynamic change of load of base station situation, in the specific embodiment of the invention, the cooperation process of transmitting based on above-mentioned, can give multiple BBU by the transfer of data of same RRU, also can give same BBU by the transfer of data of multiple RRU.That is to say, by general switch network, the data on RRU can be carried out load balancing neatly between different base station.RRU data volume and Base-Band Processing demand based on needs exchange simultaneously, cutoff crosspoint and BBU in time, reduces base station energy consumption.
Concentrate base band data processing with the form of " baseband pool ", in " baseband pool ", the physical resource at each single station just needn't be according to peak-peak rate configuration so, but be configured according to typical peak rate or statistics peak rate, thereby device resource and cost are significantly saved.
Under existing BBU+RRU framework, based on CPRI agreement, because the IQ data transfer bandwidth of transmission is high, be therefore not easy to carry out dynamic load leveling and economize on electricity, can not meet Collaborative demand, equipment is open and interconnecting property is low.In the distribution-type base station architecture of BBU in the embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with RRU, pass through packet network, reduce the data transfer bandwidth between BBU and RRU, can also carry out easily dynamic load leveling and economize on electricity, can meet efficiently Collaborative demand based on packet network simultaneously.Introduce after general packet switch, equipment has good opening and interconnection and interflow.
The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention; it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the premise without departing from the principles of the invention; can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
