Specific implementation mode
The embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail below by specific implementation mode combination attached drawing.
Embodiment one:
In order to solve the problems, such as that existing satellite-based air communications scheme communications cost is high, bandwidth is low, the present embodiment carries For a kind of airborne communication device for earth-space communication, the structural representation for the airborne communication device that Fig. 1 is provided is referred to below Figure:
Airborne communication device 10 refers to the communication equipment being deployed on aircraft comprising 11 He of transmitting-receiving control unit over the ground Aerial array 12 over the ground.Include two or more bays in aerial array 12 over the ground, each bay with receive over the ground Control unit 11 is sent out to connect.Airborne communication device 10 earthward can send the first information by communication equipment, below to airborne communication The process that equipment 10 sends the first information is introduced:The acquisition of transmitting-receiving control unit 11 over the ground needs to be sent to ground communication facilities The first information after, which is cut to obtain at least two parallel substream of data, then, over the ground transmitting-receiving control These substream of data are respectively mapped in each array element of aerial array 12 over the ground by unit 11.The middle first information of the present embodiment can With at least one terminal in cabin, it should be appreciated that the first information can refer to an individual information, can also Refer to multiple information that transmitting-receiving control unit 11 is received out of cabin from terminal over the ground.
On the other hand, airborne communication device 10 can also receive ground communication facilities and send the second information, in the present embodiment In, be additionally operable to will be received by each array element according to the fading characteristic of 12 each array element of aerial array over the ground for transmitting-receiving control unit 11 over the ground Panel data subflow reconfigured, reduction obtain the second information from ground communication facilities.If the second information is ground Face communication equipment is sent to some terminal in cabin, then after the recovery of transmitting-receiving control unit 11 obtains the second information over the ground, Second information can be sent to corresponding terminal according to information such as the destination IPs of the second information.
We can be referred to as " spatial reuse " to above-mentioned earth-space communication process, and spatial reuse can be preferable in communication quality In the case of, channel capacity is significantly promoted, communication flows is increased.In spatial reuse, each array element of aerial array 12 over the ground What is sent and received is all different substream of data.It is understood that airborne communication device 10 can be in any environment It is communicated according to said program, however, to ensure that the communication quality of earth-space communication process, a kind of example of the present embodiment is worked as In, communication environment of the airborne communication device only between ground communication facilities is preferable, i.e. the signal strength of earth-space communication is more than When predetermined threshold value, communicate in the manner described above.
Communication environment between airborne communication device 10 and ground communication facilities is poor, i.e. the signal strength of earth-space communication When less than or equal to predetermined threshold value, transmitting-receiving control unit 11, can be to when sending the first information of terminal in cabin over the ground One information is replicated, and multiple first information after duplication are respectively mapped in each array element of aerial array 12 over the ground, so Allowing each array element of aerial array 12 over the ground afterwards, earthward communication equipment sends the identical first information.Ground communication is come from receiving When the second information of equipment, what 12 each array element of aerial array actually received over the ground is all identical second information, but because Earth-space communication is second-rate, so, transmitting-receiving control unit 11 needs the reception result by each array element to restore over the ground, to Obtain the second information that quality is better than the independent reception result of each array element.
In this communication process, what each array element of aerial array 12 sent and received over the ground is all identical information, This promotes the quality that receiving terminal receives signal primarily in the case where earth-space communication quality is bad, ensures communication process Reliability.This earth-space communication process we can be referred to as " space diversity ".
For room for promotion spatial multiplexing gain and space diversity gain simultaneously, in a kind of example of the present embodiment, receive over the ground It sends out control unit 11 and carries out MIMO (Multiple-Input with ground communication facilities by controlling aerial array 12 over the ground Multiple-Out-put, multiple-input and multiple-output) communication.And since MIMO technology supports beam forming, so, it can also allow Earth-space communication has more specific aim.It draws an analogy, traditional communication illuminates entire room just as light bulb;And support what velocity of wave shaped MIMO is communicated just as flashlight, and light can be intelligently pooled on target location.
Airborne communication device 10 can also include Wireless Access Unit, be used to receive connecing at least one terminal in cabin Enter.And the first information from cabin terminal can be sent to transmitting-receiving control unit 11 over the ground, transmitting-receiving control over the ground will be come from Second information of unit 11 processed is sent to corresponding terminal in cabin.
In a kind of example of the present embodiment, signal format used in engine room inside communication is the first signal format, And what is used between airborne communication device 10 and ground communication facilities is second signal format, the first signal format and second Signal format is two different signal formats, so, it is accessible in order to which the terminal of engine room inside can be realized with the external world It communicates, needs to carry out format conversion to the information inside and outside cabin in the present embodiment.As shown in Fig. 2, airborne communication device 10 includes Further include the letter for format conversion other than Wireless Access Unit 13, over the ground transmitting-receiving control unit 11 and over the ground aerial array 12 Number format conversion unit 14.Transmitting-receiving control unit 11 is logical with Wireless Access Unit 13 and over the ground respectively for signal format converting unit 14 Letter connection.It is used to the first information received from Wireless Access Unit 13 being converted to second signal lattice by the first signal format Formula, also by the second information received from transmitting-receiving control unit 11 over the ground by second signal format conversion at the first signal lattice Formula.
Wireless Access Unit 13 can be into cabin terminal unified LAN optimization environment, such as WiFi are provided (Wireless-Fidelity, Wireless Fidelity) access, ZigBee (purple honeybee) accesses, UWB (ultra wide band) accesses etc..Such as Fig. 3 institutes Show, Wireless Access Unit 13 includes WiFi access units 131 and ZigBee access units 132 in the present embodiment.In practical application In the process, Wireless Access Unit 13 can open any one or two therein while open to be serviced for passenger.
The first information is sent come earthward communication equipment by accessing WiFi access units 131 to terminal first below, with And ground communication facilities is introduced to the process of terminal the second information of transmission:
In this example, WiFi access units 131 provide unified WiFi nets to the terminal of engine room inside in the cabin Network environment.When terminal needs the outgoing first information, the first information can be sent to WiFi access units by WiFi signal At 131, the first information is transmitted to signal format converting unit 14, signal format converting unit 14 by WiFi access units 131 again The first information of WiFi signal format is converted into second signal format.Specifically, signal format converting unit 14 can be right The first information of WiFi signal format is demodulated to obtain baseband signal, then will be needed for modulates baseband signals to second signal format Radio frequency band, formed second signal format the first information.To after the converting of the first information, signal format conversion is single The transformed first information is transferred to transmitting-receiving control unit 11 over the ground by member 14, is reflected based on space by transmitting-receiving control unit 11 over the ground It penetrates after being cut to the first information and obtains parallel substream of data, and these substream of data are respectively mapped to aerial array 12 Each array element on, controlling each array element, earthward communication equipment is emitted.
When ground communication facilities sends the second information to terminal, the aerial array over the ground 12 of airborne communication device 10 will The substream of data of second signal format is received, transmitting-receiving control unit 11 recombinates these substream of data over the ground, restores To the second information, second information is then transferred to signal format converting unit 14.Signal format converting unit 14 is by second Second information of signal format is converted into the second information of WiFi signal format, and transformed second information is sent to WiFi Access unit 131.Specifically, signal format converting unit 14 is also to be demodulated to the second information of second signal format, obtain To baseband signal, then by modulates baseband signals to the corresponding frequency range of WiFi signal, form the second information of WiFi signal format. It, can be according to letters such as the destination IPs of the receiving terminal carried in the second information after WiFi access units 131 receive the second information Breath, corresponding terminal is transferred to by second information.
It is assumed that the terminal in cabin realizes leading between ground communication facilities by accessing ZigBee access units 132 Letter:
When terminal needs the outgoing first information, the first information can be sent to ZigBee accesses by ZigBee signals At unit 132, the first information is transmitted to signal format converting unit 14, signal format conversion by ZigBee access units 132 again The first information of ZigBee signal formats is converted into second signal format by unit 14.Specifically, signal format converting unit 14 can demodulate the first information of ZigBee signal formats to obtain baseband signal, then modulates baseband signals to second are believed Radio frequency band needed for number format forms the first information of second signal format.To after the converting of the first information, signal lattice The transformed first information is transferred to transmitting-receiving control unit 11 over the ground by formula converting unit 14, by 11 base of transmitting-receiving control unit over the ground Parallel substream of data is obtained after space reflection cuts the first information, and these substream of data are respectively mapped to day In each array element of linear array 12, controlling each array element, earthward communication equipment is emitted.
When ground communication facilities sends the second information to terminal, the aerial array over the ground 12 of airborne communication device 10 will The substream of data of second signal format is received, transmitting-receiving control unit 11 recombinates these substream of data over the ground, restores To the second information, second information is then transferred to signal format converting unit 14.Signal format converting unit 14 is by second Second information of signal format is converted into the second information of ZigBee signal formats, and transformed second information is sent to ZigBee access units 132.Specifically, signal format converting unit 14 is also to be solved to the second information of second signal format It adjusts, obtains baseband signal, then by modulates baseband signals to the corresponding frequency range of ZigBee signals, form ZigBee signal formats Second information.It, can be according to the receiving terminal carried in the second information after ZigBee access units 132 receive the second information Second information is transferred to corresponding terminal by the information such as destination IP.
In the present embodiment, N-Generation mobile communication technology is being based between aerial array 12 and ground communication facilities over the ground It is communicated, relative to 3rd generation mobile communication technology, is started from LTE (Long term Evolution, long term evolution), the Four third-generation mobile communication technologies and it is capable of providing higher transmission rate higher than the mobile communication technology of forth generation, so, in this reality It applies in example, N is more than or equal to 4.
For now, fourth generation mobile communication technology is exactly the most ripe stage, so, show in one kind of the present embodiment In example, the N is equal to 4, and aerial array 12 passes through TDD (Time Division to the control of transmitting-receiving control unit 11 over the ground over the ground Duplexing, time division duplex) or FDD (Frequency Division Duplexing, frequency division duplex) LTE at least one Kind is communicated with ground communication facilities.
When aerial array 12 is communicated with ground communication facilities over the ground, it can be led to using 2.4GHz frequency ranges Letter.On the modulates baseband signals to 2.4G frequency ranges that transmitting-receiving control unit 11 can obtain demodulation over the ground, and it is transferred to antenna over the ground Array 12.On the other hand, the substream of data that transmitting-receiving control unit 11 receives from aerial array 12 over the ground over the ground is also 2.4GHz frequency ranges, transmitting-receiving control unit 11, also can be in passing by the second information when being recombinated to these substream of data over the ground Frequency range be modulated to the frequency range where the communication of terminal in cabin.2.4GHz global general-use band limits be 2.4GHz~ 2.483GHz, therefore, 2.4GHz frequency ranges can provide the signal bandwidth of 80M, can meet the high speed Internet access demand of passenger.Together When, because 2.4GHz frequency ranges are global general-use frequency ranges, if transmitting-receiving control unit 11 controls aerial array 12 over the ground over the ground 2.4GHz band communications are used with ground communication facilities, then operator just need not specially buy special frequency range.In such case Under, the burden of operator can be reduced.Correspondingly, when user enjoys wireless network aboard, the expense paid is needed also It can be reduced, so, aerial array 12 communicate and can also be reduced using 2.4GHz frequency ranges with ground communication facilities over the ground The financial burden of revenue passenger.
For aircraft in high-altitude stabilized flight, the speed of a ship or plane is generally more than 1000 kilometers/hour, in this communication one end high-speed mobile Scene under, between airborne communication device 10 and ground communication facilities communication performance influence it is maximum be exactly Doppler effect. Doppler effect points out, wave wave source shift to observer it is close when receives frequency get higher, and received when wave source is far from observer Frequencies go lower.Airborne communication device 10 and ground communication facilities, can be respectively as the waves of transmitting electromagnetic wave during communication Source, the side for receiving electromagnetic wave are equivalent to " observer ".Although between airborne communication device 10 and ground communication facilities away from From distant, but since airborne communication device 10 is high-speed mobile in the air, so, relative motion between the two is still very Obviously.With receiving terminal relative motion occurs for electromagnetic wave emission source, also just inevitably results in the frequencies of propagation received by receiving terminal It changes.So if Doppler effect is not eliminated, will make between airborne communication device 10 and ground communication facilities Communication performance is had a greatly reduced quality.
For this purpose, the aerial array over the ground 12 in the present embodiment in airborne communication device 10 is communicated with ground communication facilities and is adopted Specific frequency can be calculated according to adaptive frequency track and backoff algorithm and be obtained.Adaptive frequency track and compensation are calculated Method has fully considered relative distance and airborne communication device 10 itself between airborne communication device 10 and ground communication facilities Movement speed.So communicated using the frequency that adaptive frequency track and backoff algorithm are calculated, it can be effective gram Take doppler shift effect caused by aircraft high-speed flight.

Example IV:
Airborne communication method will be introduced in the present embodiment, since earth-space communication method includes airborne communication device to ground Face communication equipment sends the process of signal, the transmission process of the first information.The process is introduced in conjunction with Fig. 8 separately below:
S802, airborne communication device are cut the first information to obtain at least two parallel substream of data;
Each substream of data is respectively mapped in each array element of aerial array over the ground, and controls by S804, airborne communication device Each substream of data is transferred to ground communication facilities by each array element;
S806, ground communication facilities control to each array element of empty aerial array receive that airborne communication device sends by first The substream of data that information is cut;
S808, ground communication facilities will be flat received by each array element according to the fading characteristic to each array element of empty aerial array Row substream of data is reconfigured to obtain the first information;
The first information is sent to core net by S810, ground communication facilities.
The first information can come from one terminal of the medium size in cabin, it is to be understood that airborne communication device and terminal Between can be communicated by wired mode, can also wirelessly communicate, have due to usually having multiple terminals in cabin Communication requirement, so the terminal that airborne communication device can be into cabin in the present embodiment provides LAN environment, such as WiFi network environment or ZigBee environment, so that the terminal in cabin is linked by LAN environment in network.Work as terminal When needing to send information to wide area network, the first information can be generated according to the communication environment of oneself and airborne communication device, The first information of generation meets the communication protocol between terminal and airborne communication device.After the first information is generated, terminal can be with Airborne communication device is sent it to, the first information is sent to ground communication facilities by airborne communication device.
