Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of an obstacle identification method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is applied to a wireless device, and is exemplarily executed by a processor of the wireless device. The method comprises the following steps:
s10, controlling a transmission link of the rf module of the wireless device to transmit the obstacle detection signal with a predetermined transmission power.
Wherein the obstruction detection signal is a special frame added with an identification field. The identification field identifies that the frame is used for detecting obstacles, and distinguishing management frames such as Beacon/ACK and data frames for transmitting information. Here, how to identify the frame of the obstacle detection signal is not particularly required, as long as it can be distinguished from other control frames and data frames, and it is recognized that this is a detection frame. The obstruction detection signal may use a low order modulation, such as MCS 0. Because of the use of low order modulation, the transceiver is able to receive and demodulate weaker signals, and is correspondingly larger in range for determining nearby obstacles. Therefore, the obstacle detection signal can be modulated at a low rate.
In addition, the following requirements can be made on the transmission power of the obstacle detection signal: the transmitting power of the obstacle detection signal is neither too small, but if too small, the obstacle detection signal may not be identified by the receiver after path attenuation, so that whether an obstacle exists near the antenna cannot be judged; the transmission power of the obstacle detection signal cannot be too high, and if the transmission power is too high, the standing wave of the antenna may be too large due to the close-distance metal obstacle, and most energy is reflected back to the transmission link to exceed the upper limit of the power borne by the output end of the power amplifier PA, so that the power amplifier PA is damaged. Supposing that a metal barrier is arranged at a position close to the directional antenna of the wireless device, the signal reflection at the time is close to a total reflection state, and the attenuation of the path of the output signal of the power amplifier PA is ignored when the output signal of the power amplifier PA is transmitted by the antenna- > the barrier reflection- > the antenna receives. If the maximum power that the PA output is subjected to is P _ max, considering that a proper margin of power P _ margin (e.g. 3dB) is left, the power level of the obstacle detection signal is P _ detect ═ P _ max-P _ margin. (P _ detect refers to the power of the obstacle detection signal at the output of the PA).
Specifically, the obstacle detection signal is transmitted in two cases: firstly, after the wireless equipment is powered on and started every time, the wireless equipment can automatically send an obstacle detection signal to judge whether an obstacle exists near the antenna; and secondly, in the process that the wireless equipment normally transmits signal data (namely normally transmits Beacon frames and data frames), the wireless equipment can regularly transmit obstacle detection signals to judge whether obstacles exist nearby the antenna, so that the situation that the wireless equipment is electrified and works for a long time, and the surrounding environment of the antenna changes and is shielded by the obstacles is prevented. The sending time interval time _1 may be set by the user, or may be default of the system, for example, the sending time interval time _1 may be 10min, 1 hour, 12 hours, or 1 day.
As an example, the antenna of the wireless device is a high gain antenna, and the antenna of the wireless device is connected to the radio frequency module.
S11, detecting the receiving power of the obstacle detection signal received by the receiving link of the rf module.
Whether obstacles exist around the wireless equipment and the risk are judged by detecting the power of the obstacle detection signal after reflection. Generally, power detection on a transmission link needs to use a directional coupler, and the inventor finds through research that: the internal ANT port of the radio frequency switch is not completely isolated from the RX port, has a certain coupling degree, and can couple and pass part of electromagnetic wave power energy, so that the radio frequency switch can be used for detecting an obstacle detection signal which is received by the antenna and coupled into the transceiver chip through the radio frequency switch. Therefore, the characteristic that the ANT port and the RX port of the radio frequency switch are not completely isolated and can be coupled to detect the signal power through partial electromagnetic wave power energy is utilized to detect the receiving power of the receiving link of the radio frequency module to the obstacle detection signal, so that whether obstacles exist around the wireless device or not is judged.
Specifically, the propagation path of the obstacle detection signal after encountering an obstacle is as shown in fig. 2. The specific reflection paths may be as follows: one is that the obstacle detection signal is Reflected by the obstacle and then returns to the same radio frequency link, as shown by the Reflected _ signal _11 in the figure, it means that the obstacle detection signal transmitted by the first radio frequency link returns to the first radio frequency link after being Reflected by the obstacle; the other type is that the obstacle detection signal enters another radio frequency link after being Reflected, as shown in the figure, Reflected _ signal _1n, which means that the obstacle detection signal transmitted by the first radio frequency link enters the nth radio frequency link after being Reflected by the obstacle.
When the obstacle detection signal is received by the antenna, the obstacle detection signal reversely enters an ANT port of the radio frequency switch RFswitch, and because the ANT port and the RX port are not completely isolated and can be coupled to pass through partial energy, the power of the obstacle detection signal is attenuated by the interior of the RFswitch to a certain extent, then enters a low noise amplifier LNA (low noise amplifier) for amplification, and then is received and demodulated by the transceiver.
Specifically, S11 includes: calculating the received power Reflected _ signal _ kn of the obstacle detection signal transmitted by the k link, which is not received for the first time by the n link, according to the isolation Iso _ ANT _ RX of the ANT port and the RX port of the radio frequency switch of the receiving link, the loss passage _ kn of the obstacle detection signal transmitted by the transmitting link on the air propagation path between the two antennas received by the receiving link, the transmitting power P _ detect and the signal gain LNA _ gain of the low noise amplifier of the receiving link. The calculation formula is as follows: selected _ signal _ kn is P _ characterized-Passloss _ kn-Iso _ ant _ rx + LNA _ gain.
S12, if the received power of a new obstacle detection signal received by any receiving link of the radio frequency module after receiving the obstacle detection signal for the first time is greater than 0, determining that an obstacle exists around the wireless device; the received fault detection signal is a signal received by the receive chain after being coupled to the RX port through the ANT port of the rf switch of the receive chain.
The detection of the obstacle detection signal to determine whether an obstacle exists can be divided into the following two cases:
1) reflection detection of the same radio frequency link
If the sending detection signal and the receiving detection signal are the same rf link (including the sending link and the receiving link), the receiving link portion Rx in the rf link detects two detection signals for each sending detection signal: the first detected ping signal is coupled into the RX path from the rf switch internal Tx and RX ports on the link; the second detected detection signal propagates outward through the antenna, encounters an obstacle to reflect, and enters the same receiving chain. The second detected detection signal is used to assess the risk of reflection.
For the second detected obstacle detection signal, it is radiated outward through the antenna, and after encountering an obstacle, it is received by the antenna, and is coupled to the RX port through the ANT port of the transceiver, amplified by the LNA, received and demodulated by the transceiver, and its power is selected as Reflected _ signal _ nn ═ P _ detected-pass _ nn-Iso _ ANT _ RX + LNA _ gain, and the power varies according to whether there is an obstacle outside and how far away the obstacle is (i.e. the above-mentioned pass _ nn indeterminate value varies according to the outside environment).
When the transceiver transmits a fault detection signal and simultaneously receives the fault detection signal, the first fault detection signal can be received and can be judged to be coupled to an Rx path through the interior of the RFswitch; receiving a second detection signal, and if the second obstacle detection signal is received, judging the reflection risk according to the power of the second obstacle detection signal; if the second obstacle detection signal is not received, it indicates that there is no obstacle outside, or the distance between the outside obstacles is too far, the transmission of the wireless signal is hardly affected.
2) Reflection detection between different radio frequency links
If the detection signal transmitted and the detection signal received and transmitted are two different radio frequency links, the kth radio frequency link transmits a detection signal, the nth radio frequency link receives the detection signal, and if a nearby obstacle causes reflection, the two detection signals are detected successively: the first detected detection signal is directly propagated to the nth radio frequency link from the kth radio frequency link; the second detected detection signal is propagated from the k-th radio frequency link, encounters an obstacle reflection, and enters the n-th radio frequency link. Likewise, the second detected detection signal is used to assess the risk of reflection.
For the second detected detection signal, it is radiated outward through the antenna, and after encountering an obstacle, it is received by the antenna, and is coupled to the RX port through the ANT port of the RFSwitch, amplified by the LNA, received and demodulated by the trancer, and its power is selected as P _ desired-pass _ kn-Iso _ ANT _ RX + LNA _ gain, and the power varies according to whether there is an obstacle outside and how far away the obstacle is outside (i.e. the above-mentioned pass _ nn uncertainty varies according to the outside environment).
After a detecting signal is transmitted by a Transceiver kth radio frequency link, the nth radio frequency link receives the detecting signal at the same time, and the received first detecting signal can judge that the signal is directly transmitted to the nth radio frequency link from the kth radio frequency link; receiving a second detection signal, and judging the reflection risk according to the power of the second detection signal; if the second detection signal is not received, it indicates that there is no external obstacle, or the distance of the external obstacle is too far, the wireless signal will hardly be affected.
In the embodiment of the present invention, a low-power obstacle detection signal is transmitted by controlling a transmission link of a radio frequency module of a wireless device, and for a reflected obstacle detection signal, the inventors have found through intensive research that: the characteristic that an ANT port and an RX port of a radio frequency switch are not completely isolated and can be coupled with passing power can be utilized to detect the receiving power of an obstacle detection signal of a receiving link of a radio frequency module, so that whether obstacles exist around the wireless equipment or not is judged; if the receiving power of any receiving link of the radio frequency module after receiving the obstacle detection signal for the first time is greater than 0, it is determined that an obstacle exists around the wireless device. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can receive and demodulate the obstacle detection signal through the receiving link of the existing radio frequency module, and does not need to additionally add a directional coupler for power detection. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can utilize the existing antenna and circuit design of the wireless equipment to identify the obstacles around the wireless equipment.
Further, after the determining that there is an obstacle around the wireless device, the method further includes:
s13, judging whether the receiving power is larger than a preset safe power threshold value;
s14, if yes, judging that the reflection of the signal transmitted by the wireless equipment by the obstacles around the wireless equipment can damage the radio frequency amplifier of the transmission link of the wireless equipment;
s15, if not, judging that the reflection of the signal transmitted by the wireless device by the obstacles around the wireless device can influence the performance of the radio frequency amplifier of the transmission link of the wireless device.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the detection result of the received power of the obstacle detection signal is compared with the preset safe power threshold P _ safe and the preset slight risk power threshold refelected _ signal _ kn, and the following risk determination is performed according to the result:
1) and (4) safety level: if the power Reflected _ signal _ kn of the Reflected obstacle detection signals detected by all receiving chains is 0, the receiving chains are considered to be free of obstacles;
2) mild risk rating: if the power of the obstacle detection signal detected by the receiving link is 0 < selected _ signal _ kn < P _ safe, but the power of the obstacle detection signal detected by the receiving link is not greater than or equal to P _ safe, the wireless performance is possibly influenced by the existence of the obstacle, but the radio frequency device cannot be damaged;
3) high risk rating: if the power Reflected _ signal _ kn of the obstacle detection signal detected by any receiving link is larger than or equal to P _ safe, an obstacle is considered to exist, which not only affects the wireless performance, but also may cause the device to be damaged.
According to the risk judgment, the embodiment of the invention performs corresponding protection and alarm functions.
When the safety level is judged, the wireless equipment works normally and transmits signals normally according to the target power.
When the light risk level is judged, the wireless equipment can work normally, normally transmits signals according to the target power, but can give an alarm for reminding, wherein the alarm form is not specifically limited, and the alarm can be given to the user machine type by utilizing different colors of light, the flickering frequency of the light, or a buzzer and the like.
When the high risk level is judged, the wireless equipment stops working wirelessly (including stopping sending Beacon), and meanwhile, alarm reminding is carried out, wherein the alarm form is not specifically limited, and the alarm can be carried out on the user by utilizing different colors of light, the flashing frequency of the light, or a buzzer and the like.
Exemplarily, the safe power threshold P _ safe is P _ max-P _ margin-Iso _ ant _ rx + LNA _ gain; p _ max is the maximum power that the output end of the rf amplifier of the transmit chain of the wireless device can bear, P _ margin is a preset safety margin, Iso _ ANT _ Rx is the isolation between the ANT port and the Rx port of the rf switch when the rf switch of the receive chain is placed in the state where the Tx channel is open and the Rx channel is closed, and LNA _ gain is the signal gain of the low noise amplifier of the receive chain.
In the above embodiment of the invention, further, if the wireless device has multiple antennas, the step S10 includes:
controlling each transmitting link of a radio frequency module of the wireless equipment to sequentially transmit the obstacle detection signal at preset transmitting power;
the step S11 includes:
after controlling a transmitting link to transmit obstacle detection signals each time, detecting the receiving power of the obstacle detection signals which are not received for the first time of all receiving links of the radio frequency module;
and generating a power receiving matrix of the obstacle detection signals according to the received power of the obstacle detection signals which are not received for the first time of all the detected receiving links.
The step S12 includes:
and if the received power in the power receiving matrix is greater than 0, judging that obstacles exist around the wireless equipment.
In the embodiment of the invention, when there are multiple antennas, only one specific antenna may transmit due to the position of the obstacle and the directivity of the antenna, and strong reflection may occur when another specific antenna receives the signal. In order to cover and identify the risk of such special situation, each antenna is required to transmit a detection signal in turn, and all antennas are required to receive, so as to finally obtain a received power matrix of the reflected obstacle detection signal, and the risk evaluation is comprehensively performed by analyzing the received power matrix of the reflected obstacle detection signal.
Assuming that the detection signals are sequentially transmitted from 1 radio link to the nth radio link at a certain time interval, every time the fault detection signal is transmitted, all the radio links (1-n) receive the fault detection signal (the rf switch does not switch, and is still in the Tx state, because the switch switching time of the rf switch is much longer than the propagation time of the electromagnetic wave, the Tranceiver receives the detection signal when the rf switch is placed in the Tx path). Finally, a received power matrix of the obstacle detection signal is obtained.
Figure BDA0002761351470000121
The embodiment of the invention can realize the identification of the obstacles near a plurality of antennas, the receiving power matrix of the obstacle detection signal is obtained by testing through the alternate emission of each antenna and the simultaneous receiving of all the antennas, the testing range can cover a larger space near, and the condition that the obstacles cannot be judged is avoided.
