Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4: the invention aims to provide a low-cost wireless signal forwarding covering method which can be configured with ONU units one to one under the point-to-multipoint networking application scene based on the existing PON network, and can configure the RU units of 3-4 times of the number of the ONU units under a PON port under certain complex scenes. As shown in fig. 4. According to the configuration that the first-level light splitting and the second-level light splitting are both 1. If more RU units are needed, such as FTTR networking application, 2 to 3 RU units can be cascaded under each RU unit, which is equivalent to that the number of ONU units corresponding to each PON port can reach 3 to 4 times, and the 4G/5G wireless signal forwarding scheme can adopt a three-level architecture and consists of three active network elements, namely a BBU, a HUB and an RU unit. The BBU device is co-located with the OLT device, the HUB is co-located with the secondary splitter (as shown in fig. 4), and the RU unit is co-located with the ONU unit.
In the invention, under the condition of using a pair of laser wavelengths lambda 7 and lambda 8, the number of HUBs directly connected with the BBU is recommended to be about 4-8, if 8 HUBs are provided, the HUBs can be exactly in one-to-one correspondence with the secondary optical splitters shown in the figure 4, but the maximum number of directly connected HUB units of the BBU also depends on the forwarding rate and the processed signal bandwidth. A time division CPRI forward transmission technology is adopted between the BBU unit and the HUB unit, specifically, a broadcast mode is adopted for a downlink, a time division mode is adopted for an uplink, the time division uplink transmission of each HUB unit needs to consider the transmission rate of the current PON, GPON can reach 2.5Gbps, XGPON can reach 10Gbps, and the transmission rate from the BBU unit to the HUB unit and then to the RU unit is more suitable in the range of 2.5Gbps to 10Gbps from the maturity and the cost of an industrial chain. Based on the forwarding rate and the processed signal bandwidth, the maximum number of uplink timeslots that can be allocated, that is, the maximum value of the direct-connected HUB unit corresponding to the BBU unit, can be determined.
Example 1, if NR30MHz/LTE20MHz is supported in the N1/B1 frequency band, 6.144Gbps is selected as the forward transmission rate from the BBU unit to the HUB unit; considering the mode of saving bandwidth most, the signals of NR30MHz and LTE20MHz are combined into signals of 50MHz bandwidth, the transmission rate required by the signals of 768mbps and the forwarding rate of 6.144gbps can just transmit 8 signals of 50MHz bandwidth, considering the transmission bandwidth required by management and control information and the protection interval during uplink time division transmission, one transmission bandwidth of 768Mbps can be reserved, only 7 transmission bandwidths of 768Mbps are taken to transmit 7 independent signals of 50MHz bandwidth, the uplink can be divided into 7 independent time slots, and the number of HUB units that can be directly connected with BBU unit is 7 at most.
Example 2, in the N41/B41 frequency band, NR 80MHz/LTE20MHz is supported, and 9.8304Gbps is selected as the forward transfer rate from the BBU unit to the HUB unit; considering the mode of saving bandwidth most, the forward transmission rate of 100MHz signal needed is 1.536Gbps,9.8304Gbps can transmit 6.4 wireless signals with 100MHz bandwidth, considering the transmission bandwidth needed by management and control information and the protection interval in uplink time division transmission, a certain transmission bandwidth can be reserved, and only 6 transmission bandwidths with 1.536Gbps are used for transmitting 6 independent wireless signals with 100MHz bandwidth. The uplink can be divided into 6 independent time slots, so that the maximum number of directly-connected HUB units which can be directly connected with the BBU units is calculated to be 6.
Example 3, in the N1/B1 frequency band, NR30MHz/LTE20MHz is supported, 9.8304Gbps is selected as the forwarding rate from the BBU unit to the HUB unit, according to the algorithms of the above examples 1 and 2, the uplink chain can be divided into 12 independent timeslots, the maximum number of HUB units directly connected to the BBU unit is 12, and under the condition of 1. However, considering that the number of the secondary optical splitters is generally only 8, it is recommended that the number of directly connected HUB units with BBU units is not more than 8 at most, and in the case of 12 independent timeslots, 4 HUB units may be allocated with two timeslots, another 4 HUB units are allocated with one timeslot, and one HUB unit allocated with more timeslots may also be flexibly processed; the HUB unit is allocated with two time slots, and uplink can transmit two independent data streams and support 2R uplink, so that the bandwidth of uplink service is doubled or the uplink diversity receiving function is increased. Examples 1 and 2, some of the HUB uplinks may be allocated two or more timeslots by reducing the number of HUB directly connected to BBU.
As shown in fig. 5: in some scenarios, for example, in a case where it is inconvenient to supply power to the HUB, the 4G5G wireless signal forwarding method of the present invention may also only adopt a two-stage architecture, and consists of two active network elements, i.e., a BBU unit and an RU unit, as shown in fig. 5; the BBU unit and OLT equipment are co-located, and the RU unit and ONU unit are co-located, can save the HUB unit of second grade beam split position department, can save the power supply of HUB unit. The RU unit and the ONU unit perform light splitting using wavelength division. In the case that the optical attenuation between the OLT device and the ONU unit is sufficient, the fronthaul wavelength between the BBU unit and the RU unit may also be increased, and the number of supported RU units may be doubled by increasing one upstream fronthaul wavelength, as shown in fig. 6; further, considering that the RU units and the ONU units can be configured one-to-one, the uplink bandwidth is halved or the number of subcarriers used in uplink is halved, and the number of RU units supported in fig. 6 can also be doubled.
As shown in fig. 6: two-stage architecture wireless signal coverage based on the PON network-two upstream wavelengths.
Example 4, in the case of a two-stage architecture, consisting of two active network elements, BBU, RU unit, as shown in fig. 5 and 6. In the N1/B1 frequency band, NR30MHz/LTE20MHz is supported, 9.8304Gbps is selected as the forwarding rate from the BBU unit to the RU unit, based on the foregoing algorithm, the uplink may be divided into 12 independent time slots, and the maximum number of RU units directly connected to the BBU unit is 12, as shown in fig. 5. If an uplink wavelength is added, that is, one transmitting laser is added to the RU unit, one receiving laser with the same wavelength is added to the BBU unit, and the same time division transmission mode is used, the number of RU units can be increased by 12, as shown in fig. 6, so that the maximum number of RU units directly connected to the BBU unit can be supported by 24. Considering that the RU units and the ONU units can be configured in one-to-one manner, the uplink bandwidth is halved or the number of subcarriers used in uplink is halved, the number of RU units supported in the case shown in fig. 6 may also be doubled, and the maximum number of RU units directly connected to the BBU may be supported by 48, which basically satisfies the one-to-one configuration of RU units and ONU units in the existing actual broadband networking.
Thus, define: forwarding bandwidth: BWTH, RU upstream bandwidth: BWRU, direct number: NTh, the following formula:
when BWTH is more than or equal to 0, BWRU-INT (BWTH is less than or equal to BWRU) <1%, NTh = INT (BWTH is less than or equal to BWRU) -1;
when BWTH/BWRU-INT (BWTH/BWRU) is more than or equal to 1%, NTh = INT (BWTH/BWRU).
The RU can support applications such as N1 frequency band 4T2R, 4T1R, 2T2R, 2T1R and the like, and can also support applications such as N1 frequency band 4T4R, or applications such as N1 frequency band 2T2R plus N78 frequency band 2T2R and the like; in the application of 4G/5G, the BBU can support 4G of a plurality of cells and 5G of the plurality of cells, each BBU supports 1 to 16 optical interfaces, and can support binding of a plurality of PON ports and also can introduce other 4G and 5G information sources to the BBU for centralized distribution processing. For example 2 above, a BBU port bound to one PON port may support 6 independent uplink timeslots, and if each 4G cell and each 5G cell support 2T2R, then at most 4G 2t2r for 3 cells and 5G 2t2r for 3 cells may be supported here. If each RU unit supports 2R (two antenna diversity or two independent upstream), then there can be up to 96 RU units supporting 2T 2R; if each RU unit supports only 1R, then a maximum of 192 2T1R RU units can be supported here. Such RU unit support capability may be 2 times (2T 2R) or 4 times (2T 1R) the number of actual ONU units under the corresponding PON, and then these cells may be rebundled to another PON port, and may be rebundled to one PON port (2T 2R application) or 3 PON ports (2T 1R application). For a villa coverage scenario or some enterprise coverage scenarios or other FTTR scenarios, it is also fully applicable that multiple RU units may be required to extend coverage under one ONU unit. The two 2T2R 5G cells may be combined into one 4T4R cell, or may support a 4T4R RU unit for higher traffic demand applications.
The 4G/5G BBU unit of the invention can support a plurality of time division CPRI interfaces, can bind a plurality of PON ports, and can realize the quick and flexible coverage as required of fewer users under each PON port based on the two-stage networking architecture of BBU-RU. With the increase of wireless users under the PON port, the HUB can be added to cover more users under the PON port. The combined application of the two-stage networking architecture of the BBU-RU and the three-stage networking architecture of the BBU-HUB-RU unit is also suitable for the comprehensive coverage of residential districts/apartments and office buildings.
The invention strictly controls the optical attenuation of the link introduced between the original OLT and the ONU unit. As shown in fig. 4, the light attenuation of the newly added link is introduced by the light of the WDM module and the RU unit of the two channels on the BBU side and the HUB side, with a typical loss of 2dB and a maximum loss of less than 2.5dB; one side of the HUB unit can also use light splitting, and the total introduced light attenuation can be controlled within 3 dB. As shown in fig. 5, the optical attenuation of the newly added link is introduced by two channels WDM at the BBU side and the RU unit side, the typical loss is 1.2dB, and the maximum loss is less than 2dB; as shown in fig. 6, the optical attenuation of the newly added link is introduced by the three-channel WDM at the BBU side and the RU unit side, the typical loss is 1.8dB, and the maximum loss is less than 2.5dB.
The BBU-HUB uses 1350/1530 under the condition of a three-level architecture, and an optical module needs to support a burst mode; the HUB-RU unit can use 1330/1550 or 1370/1550. The BBU-RU uses 1350/1530 in the case of the two-stage architecture, and the optical module needs to support burst mode.
For simplicity of description, the above example 2 application is taken as an example, as shown in fig. 4.
The method mainly comprises the following steps: the BBU unit returns back through the IPRAN resource of the machine room where the OLT equipment is located, and connection with a core network is established; service data is processed by a BBU unit baseband and is transmitted to a second-level light splitting box through a two-level light splitting network after an optical signal passing through a fronthaul interface of the BBU baseband and an optical signal passing through a PON port of OLT equipment are subjected to wavelength division multiplexing; the surplus optical fiber after the secondary light splitting is directly connected to the uplink port of the HUB unit, the HUB unit distributes and processes the baseband signals from the BBU unit to a plurality of extension optical ports of the HUB unit, the extension optical ports of the HUB unit and PON signals after the secondary light splitting are combined with WDM wavelength division as required, then the signals are transmitted to a user residence through a single optical fiber, the optical splitter is used for dividing the signals into two paths of optical signals, the RU unit and the ONU unit are respectively given, and the RU unit changes the baseband signals into wireless signals so as to complete the coverage of the wireless signals.
The invention has the following advantages:
1. the home unit does not need a special 4G/5G baseband chip, and equipment for realizing 4G/5G wireless coverage is simpler, has smaller power consumption and lower cost, and is convenient to popularize; meanwhile, the required core network parameters are few, the network is plugged and used in the home, and the workload of opening, managing and maintaining is small.
