Description

Metropolitan wide area network
Technical field
The present invention relates to the metropolitan wide area network of telecommunication system.More particularly, the present invention relates to the wireless point-to-multipoint system that will in the millimeter microwave a-n radio range a-n, operate and broadband, intelligent metropolitan area main line network carry out integrated so that can carry out various enhancing speeches, wideband data and multimedia telecommunication service.
Background technology
In the prior art, people generally understand point-to-point arrowband, a bit to multiple spot arrowband and point-to-point broadband fixed wireless system.Also be known technology a bit, generally be used for narrow band communication, for example Speech Communication the multipoint wireless power technology.Narrowband systems generally is the system that can produce per second 1.544 Mbits of data in an independent circuit or channel or be lower than this speed, and broadband system can produce the data transfer rate that is higher than per second 1.544 megabits in each circuit or channel.Though a bit also do not have widespread usage to arrive broadband telecommunication network now in Speech Communication arrowband " a bit to multiple spot " system applies to multipoint system.
Nowadays, one group of channel up to 24 per second 64 kilobits a bit can be assembled to multipoint system in the arrowband in a kind of being called as " T1 line (T1 line) ".But this T1 line still is considered to a kind of narrow-band devices when it is used to support a plurality of voice channel.In the voiceband telephone network, use the arrowband some multipoint system also to be had for many years in Europe.
Point-to-point broadband technology also is well-known.To 40GHz scope (being commonly referred to as " 38GHz "), use point-to-point broadband wireless system at 37 gigahertz (GHZ)s or " GHz ".When 38GHz broadband wireless link design was appropriate, the performance of its performance and fiber optic telecommunications was basic identical.
Because the fixed wireless technical costs is low, to install rapidly and operation easily, it is becoming a kind of widely used telecommunication service transmission method.Connect two places with point-to-point wireless traffic, most of work is by constituting at two top of building installation roof antennas and relevant indoor equipment.Needn't connect actual track between two buildings, this obviously is better than copper cash or optical fiber technology.Between building, connect optical fiber or copper cash and need spend many labours, and with excavate the street, obtain other relevant expenses such as allowance.Owing in most of the cases adopt the broadband fixed wireless system not need civil construction, so its installation is faster, more economical than the conventional method of " final mile (1ast mile) " in metropolitan area communication network interconnection.
Current 38GHz fixed wireless technology has many features that make it become tempting commercial telecommunication transmission medium.The 38GHz wireless technology provides high bandwidth path for speech, data, multimedia and video.Current technology allows to reach five miles link distance.Because all millimeter microwave propagation can be subjected to the influence of rainfall, so actual range is the function of geographical position or " rainfall area ".Under the weather conditions that often fall heavy rain, obtain performance identical with optical fiber and availability needs short link distance.
Propagating at the millimeter wqve radio of 38GHz generally need clog-free line-of-sight transmission.In actual applications, the minor diameter antenna is installed on the roof of office building, and, is installed on the window of office building in some occasions.The diameter of these antenna is generally in 12 to 24 inches scopes, though also use littler antenna.Manufacturer points out that for radio and modulator-demodulator part, the Mean Time Between Failures statistics that surpasses 10 years shows that hardware is highly reliable.Therefore, use for the point-to-point commercial speech in broadband and the data of the high degree of availability from per second 1.544 megabits (T1) to per second 45 megabits (DS3) range of capacity, current 38GHz fixed wireless technology is very suitable.
The commercial examples of applications in typical wireless point-to-point broadband is the interconnection of a plurality of servers in the campus area network (LAN).The another kind of application is the big city wide-area networking.Here, a plurality of campus lans in incity, same city are by the wireless device interconnection of 38GHz.To IEC interexchange carrier (IXC), it is public point-to-point commercial application of 38GHz Radio Link that the special use of Internet service provider (ISP) and other circuitous access device inserts.In the 38GHz scope, honeycomb and Personal Communications Services (PCS) operating personnel can dispose the wireless device of high degree of availability in their main line network, to support the back-haul between antenna farm, base station and the MTSO (MTSO).The wireless P-2-P technology of 38GHz also is used for can't help to provide when optical fiber provides the place of service the critical protection channel of task and other point-to-point alternate route to select need extending to from a fiber optic network.At last, utilize the interconnection of point-to-point wireless technology of 38GHz and public switched telephone network (PSTN), so that provide the local number dialing sound to obtain more and more widely application by competing local exchange carrier (CLEC).
Substantially the point-to-point wireless device of a kind of client of providing and business interconnection is provided Fig. 2.This connection will support broadband (data, video etc.) and arrowband (speech) to use.Client's building is shown 200, can comprise that a plurality of private branch exchanges hive off.It is connected to another building that accommodates communication network switch 203 202.These two buildings connect by the Radio Link between two roof antennas: an antenna 204 is on client's building, and another antenna 205 is on the building that holds switch 203.The bandwidth of this connection can be up to 28 T1 circuit, or DS3 (per second 45 megabits).Switch 203 is connected to PSTN 206, or is used for the public switched telephone network of local service and is used for the toll network 207 of long-distance service.Switch 203 also can be provided to the dialing access of internet 208.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram that is used for the FCC spectrum allocation schemes of 38GHz, comprises 14 total channels.Each channel width is 100 megahertzes (MHz).Each 100MHz channel is made up of two 50MHz subchannels, a sub-channel transmission, and another subchannel receives.The subchannel of these two 50MHz is isolated by the frequency spectrum of 700MHz.As shown in Figure 3, subchannel 1A is the 50MHz bandwidth, and is a send channel, and subchannel 1B is the 50MHz bandwidth, is a receive channel.Subchannel 1A and the subchannel 1B 700MHz of being separated by.This frequency band scheme has produced 14 channels (1400MHz or 1.4GHz) of 38 to 40GHz scope intermediate frequency spectrum of FCC distribution.
With reference to figure 4, Fig. 4 shows the basic spectrum management problem relevant with the use of point-to-point wireless system in the metropolitan areas.Because building is close to each other in metropolitan areas, propagating by the information of Radio Link may be overlapping, thereby makes can not use same channel (1A/1B) in adjacent system.In this figure, the antenna on building is to predetermined its signal of receiver emission, but the antenna on the adjacent buildings also can receive a part of signal.Sort signal disturbs and is called " common-channel interference ".
In Fig. 4, the main building 401 that comprises a switch 402 is by four roof antenna 403A, and 403B, 403C and 403D are connected to far-end building 404A, and 404B, 404C and 404D, each far-end building have its oneself corresponding roof antenna.Shown between these buildings is that the concept nature of the used frequency spectrum of each point-to-point wireless system is represented.Because building all is close together, the transmission signal between the building overlaps.Common-channel interference described in falling for fear of the preceding paragraph must use different channels to connect adjacent building.For example, channel 1A/1B is used for building 404D, and channel 2A/2B is used for building 404C.Although channel 1A/1B has partly covered the transmission of 2A/2B,, avoided common-channel interference because two systems have used different frequency (channel).Therefore, the antenna of a building may send to wrong reception antenna to its signal of a part, but each system is " tuned ' a different frequency, thereby is left in the basket from the transmission of the adjacent system that uses other frequency.
Frequency management technology shown in Fig. 4 has been avoided the common-channel interference in the wireless network of deployment in the crowded urban district, but is to use the FCC channel to avoid common-channel interference can not utilize the information transfer capacity of licensed spectrum maximumly, thereby efficient is not high.Thereby need address this is that.
Fig. 5 shows an extra spectrum problem of management relevant with Point-to-Point system.Building 501 is connected with building 502 by channel 1.Building 503 is connected with building 504 by channel 2.The predetermined wireless transmission of real connecting line 505,506 representatives.But, because " divergent-ray " is about 2 degree at emission source, signal may by be not be scheduled to but other system of being in just at the right time in the divergent-ray scope of origination system receive.Chain-dotted line 507 is represented this situation, has wherein received to the system mistake in the building 4 transmission of system in the building 1.If used two kinds of different frequencies, will not have common-channel interference.This makes the frequency management in the point-to-point wireless network need use a plurality of channels to avoid interference again, and can not fully use frequency spectrum to improve bandwidth utilization.
The roof space is valuable, and quantity, size and the position of antenna are set is limited on the roof in many cases.Because Point-to-Point system uses independently antenna for each wireless connections, so the building roof space becomes limiting factor.Along with the increase of the quantity that is arranged on the Point-to-Point system on the building roof, not only spectrum management consideration aspect can limit the quantity of the system that can dispose, and the physical space that each antenna can be used on the roof is the quantity of restriction system also.Therefore, needing can the extended wireless network capacity and extending user quantity and need not increase the solution of respective antenna roof quantity thus.
Point-to-Point system provides so-called full-time connection for the user.Full-time connection is " opening forever " (connection and effective), the transmission of outstanding message always.Full-time wireless connections utilization is in case specify other user of back with regard to out of use special-purpose frequency spectrum.Therefore, point-to-point wireless system is applicable to continuously or transmission for a long time.Point-to-Point system need can not support variable bit rate or " burst " data service of bandwidth varying effectively.Because each system utilizes the channel that distributes on the basis of full-time " open-minded forever ", and no matter amount of information or transmitting continuous time on the link, the bandwidth that the Point-to-Point system that variable bit rate is used uses is wasted.Therefore, " burst " data service for as LAN transmits lan data needs the solution of more effectively utilizing frequency spectrum.

Fig. 6 A show with " one-to-many " between maincenter and client's building radio system close be feature a bit to multipoint system.In Fig. 6 A, maincenter website 601 is equipped with antenna 602,603 and 604.Antenna 602 is launched to " sector " 605 of the physical space that a plurality of user's buildings 606,607,608 and 609 of covering occupy.Antenna on the building 606,607,608 and 609 in the sector 605 is all communicated by letter with the single maincenter antenna 602 of sector 605.The sector can be that 15 to 90 degree are wide.Independent channel of owned building general using in the sector is so for the building in the same sector, common-channel interference no longer is a problem.
In order to prevent the common-channel interference at sector-edge place, maincenter website 601 is given the adjacent sectors that in fact is isolated from each other Frequency Distribution.For example, can give sector 602 allocated channel 1A/1B, and give sector 604 allocated channel 2A/2B.Thereby a bit can make full use of each channel that distributes in the sector and come transmission information multipoint system, this with need only be to utilize the spectrum management of the Point-to-Point system of a plurality of channels to require to have formed stark contrast in same geographic area for fear of common-channel interference.
Fig. 6 B shows the example embodiment of a maincenter website 601 that uses in network of the present invention.Antenna 602,603...60n is corresponding to each channel.A channel is generally distributed to a corresponding mesh sector 605.But, needing under the situation of extra bandwidth, network of the present invention is given one or more mesh sectors a plurality of channel allocation.Each antenna preferably includes a corresponding maincenter radio unit 620.For fear of the loss of signal relevant with coaxial cable and waveguide on 38GHz, the maincenter radio unit preferably is coupled to becomes an integral unit on the respective antenna that is installed in roof or cat head.
The maincenter website also comprises the maincenter indoor unit (IDU) 622 that is coupled to maincenter radio unit 620 by apparatus interconnection link (interfacility link) 624.Apparatus interconnection link 624 is a kind of broadband connections, preferably adopts the optical fiber type of attachment.Maincenter IDU is connected in the central controller 626 of one or more management maincenter websites 601 interior operations and data transmission.Also comprise a trunk interface 628, transmit so that can be connected and carry out data with network backbone.
Fig. 7 shows an embodiment of the network of the present invention in the commercial metropolitan area network that utilizes the 38GHz multichannel to insert wireless technology.This network comprises broadband main line 702, and it can use optical fiber, copper cash or wireless technology to realize.The big square frame representative that is arranged in annulus is a bit to multiple spot maincenter website 704, and each covers at least one mesh sector 706.In commercial urban environment, dispose mesh sector 706 by rights, make bandwidth towards geographical position with suitable building (client) density.In case gone up main line 702, client's business is routed to the network node that value-added service is provided of any amount.The example of this service node has local Communication Switch-Board 706, trunk board 708 and point of presence 710 and video traffic point 712.Network of the present invention also comprises at least one central operation node 713, and it is connected to each maincenter website 704 by the such control net 715 of for example frame relay network.
1 of 38GHz generally is made up of the mesh 714 with 3-5 mile diameter (1.5-3 mile circuit distance) the structure of multipoint radio network.Each mesh 714 comprises a plurality of sector 706-1,706-2 ..., 706-n, sector width scope from 15 to 90 degree.A maincenter website 704 is positioned at the central authorities of each mesh, is arranged in a plurality of remote subscriber systems (user) 716 and maincenter radio communication of sector client's building, to set up Radio Link.Distribute in corresponding maincenter website 704 provides the bandwidth in the given sector in this sector the remote subscriber system.A sector can utilize whole bandwidth of the channel of a single permission, or can be in a sector " piling up " a plurality of channels, to satisfy total user's request to bandwidth.When using a plurality of channel, increase an additional maincenter radio unit 620 and an antenna that is used for this sector for this maincenter website 704.
The regulation of best sector width is a very important problem.A kind of purpose of design is the cost minimum that will make the Effective Radiated Power (ERP) that needs.Narrow sector produces higher antenna gain, so only need less power to reach given ERP.But each sector needs the radio system of itself, covers the required equipment cost in a given geographic area so narrow sector has increased.In last analysis, the maincenter site design is to the total customer demand of capacity and the function of Customer Location geographical distribution.
More of the present invention to the multiple spot metropolitan area network in, maincenter website 704 is preferably on the main line 702 by optical fiber or high power capacity microwave radio equipment with sonet ring shape interconnected.Toll telephone merchant 708, Internet service provider 710, the service node of local PSTN board 706 and video source 712 and so on is interconnected to fiber optic loop, links fiber optic loop by closing to establish with the maincenter website in some cases.Therefore, in case the client is connected to network through wireless access links, just can visit any business that the miscellaneous service node is supported.
The present networks method needs transmission and the routing capability on the main line, with being connected between convenient a plurality of Customer Locations and between Customer Location and the Network node.Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is the preferred transport layer agreement of metropolitan area network structure of the present invention.Also can estimate to use more traditional connection-oriented or asynchronous phone transportation protocol as operator's transition to full atm network in a period of time.Reason preferably includes ATM (OC-3c) and STM (DS-3) interface between maincenter website 704 and main line 702 for this reason.
2. wireless ATM
This net structure utilizes asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) as the basic transmission method in the network.ATM is a kind of packing tranmission techniques that information sets is made into a plurality of cells.Each cell has one " letter is first " and one " pay(useful) load ".Data type and data in the first explanation of the letter pay(useful) load stop wherein.Each cell spreads through the internet through multiple path, and can reach terminal point to be different from original order.The first information of letter that is included in the cell allows to rearrange cell with the correct order before transmitting to client device.By data encapsulation in pay(useful) load, ATM cell can transmit many standard telecommunications speeches, data and video traffic.Therefore, ATM can be combined in speech, data and video in the single telecommunications transmission network.
A key structure factor of network of the present invention is on one point to using ATM in the wireless transmission of multipoint system (wave point).Between user 716 and maincenter website 704, client's specific transactions (Ethernet, frame relay, DS-1, DS-3, ISDN, speech) is encapsulated in the ATM pay(useful) load.Therefore, by based on the agreement of cell the end-to-end ATM that benefits from the network of the business of effective processing transmit, and business that must interim channelizing on main line at maincenter website 704 by time division multiplexing.Under above-mentioned any one situation, all professional aerial transmission through ATM make it possible to realize important bandwidth on demand function in network.
3. modulate and power system capacity
Utilize the wireless device of the modulation technique of QPSK and 4FSK and so on to produce the effective data rate of every hertz 1 bit of per second.When in the 50MHz full-duplex channel (that is) for every grant channel 100MHz frequency spectrum altogether, 50MHz on each direction when distributing the 38GHz frequency spectrum, the maximum Point-to-Point Data rate of current fixed wireless technology is 45Mb/s, or DS-3.The raising of the more advanced modulation technology of 16QAM and 64QAM and so on and whole system gain together can produce every hertz of 4-5 bit of per second or higher data transfer rate.This represents significantly improving of every channel available bandwidth.Therefore, can obtain every channel OC-3 in every sector (155Mb/s) and higher data transfer rate at 38GHz.Can expect the spectrum efficiency of every hertz of 6-8 bit range of per second.Can easily obtain to support many sectors, the multichannel mesh of aggregate date rate of the thousands of megabits of per second of available bandwidth according to relatively conservative design.Less conservative design will produce higher mesh capacity.
4 bandwidth on-demands
Since in order to transmit by wireless network data encapsulation in cell, so might utilize radio spectrum more efficiently than non-ATM wireless device.This is the result owing to " statistical multiplexing " technology of a kind of being called.Statistical multiplexing utilized starting at random of transfer of data in the system and all users not need the fact of bandwidth if having time.Statistical multiplexing makes the cell that comprises the data that different user starts transmit with minimum required frequency spectrum.Say that on this meaning the user shares the frequency spectrum that distributes in the Wireless ATM Network, and in any given time system all users' aggregate bandwidth demand by system in usable spectrum in time provide.
This has caused data capacity " statistical gain ", this statistical gain make the communication network operating personnel can according to will be not at a given customer location (for example, multi-user's exchanger user hive off office building) can need distribute to hypothesis " contribution exceeds the quata " Radio Link of all told of this position if having time.To most of thereon information are the links that transmit with burst (" bursty data "), can have up to 10 to 1 (10: 1) exceed the quata to contribute than (statistical gain), as in the LAN-LAN occasions for communication.Wherein mix of traffic maybe needs network by other professional skew of the point-to-point connection of network (circuit) to speech more communication session the duration, and more typical statistical gain is 2: 1 or 3: 1.
The ATM cell letter can make the parameter of each cell by the priority level ordering first also comprising.Therefore, the cell with TP top priority transmits by network immediately, and the cell that has than low precedence can postpone to be finished by exchange up to the cell of higher priority.This attribute of ATM makes its " quality of service " that can support to have variation, or the business of QOS.When this priority level system is used in combination with statistical multiplexing, information is transmitted by wireless network with very high efficient.For example, can be decomposed into a plurality of cells to a big file, and in the packet stream that is scattered with than other cell of small documents, send by network.Therefore, small documents needn't wait for that big file transmission finishes, and the operating efficiency of whole network is higher.
Dynamically distribute bandwidth between the user 716 in a given sector 706.Therefore, the moment demand of 716 pairs of high bit rate burst informations of a given user can not satisfied by the bandwidth that other users in the sector 706 use by utilizing this moment.This can be by the variable distribution according to need (time division multiple access or TDMA) to user's time slot, or the variable distribution according to need of frequency (frequency division multiple access or FDMA) finishes, or finish by making up two kinds of multiplexing techniques (demand assignment multiple access or DAMA).
The technology of dynamically distributing bandwidth between these buildings in a sector with distribute to each building in client's the ATM statistical multiplexing (contribution exceeds the quata) of bandwidth when combining, the result has greatly improved the information transfer capacity of the wireless frequency spectrum that uses in the network of the present invention.Can further increase capacity by the efficient modulation scheme of using 16QAM and 64QAM and so on.
5. set up centre structure
System of the present invention has used a kind of being called the collocation strategy of " setting up maincenter ", and an end of many Radio Links is focused on the independent building roof or " maincenter ".Each maincenter 704 can utilize Radio Link to be connected to many far-end radio systems 716.Maincenter 704 in metropolitan areas can pass through wireless, optical fiber, or other high power capacity telecommunication apparatus is with annular, mesh shape or the interconnection of other main line network topologies.Give maincenter 704 equipment ATM exchanges or TDM multiplexing equipment to cross over main line 702 bridge joint Radio Links, set up the connection between the user, or the user is connected to other position on the network, so that the visit miscellaneous service.By setting up maincenter, utilize networking to increase the effective range of wireless access links greatly, and the visit to various speeches, data and multimedia service is provided.
