Description

Adaptation method and device for 5G access network deployment
Technical Field
The invention relates to wireless communication or wireless network technology, in particular to an adaptation method and an adaptation device for 5G access network deployment.
Background
4G communication technology has been widely used for a long time, deployment and implementation of next generation technology (5G) have been developed globally, and the demand for mobile data has increased explosively, and it is difficult for existing communication systems to meet future demands. Moreover, compared with the existing communication system, the 5G communication technology has a qualitative leap in the aspects of transmission rate, time delay and stability, and can easily meet the future communication requirements. The application is mainly embodied in the following aspects: firstly, the 5G communication technology will promote the internet of things technology of all things interconnection. The 5G communication technology enables more users to communicate using the same frequency resource, thereby greatly improving frequency application efficiency without increasing base station density. Applying this technology to build a private network will enable to interconnect all platforms equipped with 5G communication modules into a network within an area. Second, 5G communication technology will support deep convergence of information networks. The private network 5G communication technology can be applied to various heterogeneous information communication networks for deep fusion to form a mutually compatible high-speed information network so as to realize a more efficient work task. Finally, the 5G communication technology is extended to millimeter wave communication resources, thereby enabling private network dedicated frequency bands. The problem that the frequency bands of the existing private network mobile communication system and the public network mobile communication system are overlapped, shared and interfered with each other is effectively solved. Therefore, the 5G communication technology provides an integrated information communication network with wide area coverage, high-speed transmission and strong compatibility for private network construction.
From the perspective of a private network, a 3GPP option6 architecture is adopted, so that on one hand, an LTE core network is utilized to reduce development cost, shorten development period and carry out deployment of a novel network as soon as possible, and the core network has mature and stable functions; on the other hand, the air interface technology of the 5G base station and the terminal is utilized instead of the LTE base station, and the advantages of Massive MIMO, millimeter wave communication and the like are utilized to ensure the transmission rate and the transmission quality. However, under the current situation of existing LTE networks, each large operator is more inclined to adopt the Option3 manner for 5G network deployment. That is, for the operator, the solution of Option6 has no advantage over Option3, and instead, the complexity of the terminal is increased. Therefore, the Option6 scheme has been abandoned in the process of 3GPP standardization. The result is that no suitable commercial termination chip for option6 is available. However, for the Option6 mode which is not favored by operators, it is a good choice for many industry private network applications, such as coal mines, ports, factories, etc., because most industry private networks have small scale compared with public networks, the Option6 scheme can meet the requirement of rapid deployment, and can also meet the requirements of industry production, manufacture and operation by using 5G technology.
