Detailed Description
As mentioned in the background, as the types of access units and remote units are more and more, the requirements of users for flexibility in application of the digital DAS are also more and more. Referring to fig. 1a, the digital DAS system mainly includes three parts, namely an access unit AU, an extension unit EU and a remote unit RU.
Referring to fig. 1b, the access unit AU obtains a digitized IQ data stream by means of Radio Frequency (RF) coupling or digital (digital) coupling, wherein S1 is denoted as the 1 st channel IQ data, S2 is denoted as the 2 nd channel IQ data, sk is denoted as the kth channel IQ data, and each channel IQ data corresponds to an independent frequency band, sampling rate, bandwidth, and other information. Definition of the definitionFor all IQ data sent by the access unit AU to the extension unit EU, the extension unit EU distributes the acquired IQ data of the access unit AU to the corresponding remote unit RU. />IQ data, denoted as extension unit EU, sent to the 1 st remote unit RU +.>IQ data, denoted as extension unit EU, sent to the nth remote unit RU +.>Represented as IQ data sent by the extension unit EU to all remote units RU. Generally, a +>Is->Subset of (a), i.e.)>Therefore, the remote unit RU only needs to simply distribute IQ data of the access unit AU to the remote unit RU. It will be appreciated that the IQ data flow in fig. 1b is bi-directional, and for downstream signals the data flow is: bs→au→eu→ru, and for the uplink signal, the data flow is: ru→eu→au→bs.
However, with the development of wireless communication technology, the digital DAS needs not only network coverage for a single operator and network coverage for multiple operators, but also network coverage for a SISO system and network coverage for a MIMO system, and more needs network coverage for multi-band, multi-system signals. Therefore, the sampling rate relationship of the IQ data is more and more complex, and the extension unit EU simply distributes the IQ data of the access unit to the remote unit, which cannot meet the requirements of the digital DAS technology development. In order to meet the requirements of digital DAS technology development, the invention provides a distributed antenna system, an IQ data adaptation device and a method thereof, which can perform IQ data adaptation between an access unit AU and a remote unit RU, so that an extension unit EU can be compatible with different types of access units AU and remote units RU, and can conveniently support access of new access unit AU equipment and new remote unit RU equipment.
Referring to fig. 1c, different access unit AU devices acquire IQ data of different base station BS devices, the access unit AU transmits the IQ data to the extension unit EU, the extension unit EU performs IQ data adaptation, and then the adapted IQ data is transmitted to the corresponding remote unit RU.

Generally, in the general digital DAS topology, < - > the +.>No longer is +.>Of (a), i.e.)Therefore, referring to fig. 1d, the extension unit EU cannot simply distribute the IQ data of the access unit AU to the remote unit RU, but rather needs to introduce an IQ data adaptation device (IQ Adapter), through which the IQ data of the access unit AU can be transmitted to the remote unit RU after data adaptation.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 9, before resampling the corresponding first single-channel parallel IQ data stream, the method further comprises:
s910, determining a first filter coefficient of the first resampling module according to the remote unit information.
Resampling the obtained first single-channel parallel IQ data stream comprises:
s920, resampling the corresponding first single-channel parallel IQ data stream according to the first filter coefficient to obtain a second single-channel parallel IQ data stream.
It should be noted that, for the specific limitation of the downlink IQ data adaptation method, reference may be made to the limitation of the downlink IQ data adaptation apparatus, which is not repeated herein.
In an embodiment, please refer to fig. 10, the present application provides an uplink IQ data adaptation method for a distributed antenna system, which can be applied to the uplink IQ data adaptation apparatus of any one of the above embodiments, and the method includes the following steps:
