Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for synchronizing time division multiple access burst frames in base station wireless interfaces, which belongs to the field of mobile communication. The present invention is characterized in that the synchronization of the TDMA burst frames between TRMs can be guaranteed under the condition of no multiple time sequence clocks distributed between back boards in a BTS and can be realized through the FCLK phase alignment of the TDMA burst frame clock. In the method, the FCLK of each TRM is obtained by the frequency division of a local 52MHz clock and extracted synchronous pulses with the same phase are used for controlling the frequency division to align the FCLK phase of each TRM so as to realize the synchronization of the TDMA burst frames.

Description

The time-division multiple access burst frame synchronizing method of base station radio interface

Technical field:

The invention belongs to moving communicating field, especially belong to the mobile communication base station subsystem.

Background technology:

Mobile communication system especially GSM (Global System of Mobile Communication) system worldwide obtains the wide range of commercial application, becomes one of topmost means of communication.Base transceiver station (Base Transceiver Station, be called for short BTS) belong to the wireless portion of base station sub-system, it is one of part of gsm system most critical, form by base band, carrier frequency and control three parts, mainly finish the wireless transmission of Base-Band Processing, modulation and air interface and relevant functions such as control.Frame synchronization is a key technology of base transceiver station, PCM (the Pulse Code Modulation that comprises Abis interface (interface between BTS and the base station controller), the digital modulation of pulse) TDMA (TimeDivision Multiple Access, the time division multiple access) burst frame of frame synchronization and wave point is synchronous.The PCM frame synchronization of Abis interface correctly exchanges with the time slot that guarantees 64kbit/s, and the TDMA burst frame of wave point then guarantees the correct switching of wireless channel and continue that the frame synchronization of both sides all is the key that guarantees the BTS operate as normal synchronously.Because PDH (Pseudo-synchronous Digital Hierarchy, the plesiochronous digital system) technology is quite ripe, its PCM frame synchronization has had very perfect treatment technology, and the very high special-purpose framer (Framer) of integrated level is arranged, so PCM frame synchronization no longer is the technological difficulties among the BTS.But the TDMA burst frame of wave point is still the technological difficulties in the BTS design synchronously, also is the key of BTS design.The TDMA burst frame of wave point present method synchronously is unified by base station control maintenance module (Controller ﹠amp; MaintenanceModule, CMM) (Transceiver Module TRM) distributes especially TDMA burst frame clock FCLK (Frame Clock, frame clock) of the various relevant clocks that satisfy certain sequential to each transceiver module.This is infeasible to big capacity overloading BTS system frequently, because a large amount of clock distribution lines have increased crosstalking between the signal between backboard and the backboard, has reduced the stability and the reliability of system.

Summary of the invention:

The present invention provides a kind of time-division multiple access burst frame synchronizing method that can improve sequential clock distribution between the stability of a system and reliability, elimination CMM and the TRM, in order to overcome the shortcoming that clock of the prior art is crosstalked, system reliability is low.

A kind of time-division multiple access burst frame synchronizing method of base station radio interface, be under the situation of no a large amount of sequential clock distribution between inner backboard of base transceiver station and the backboard, guarantee the time-division multiple access burst frame synchronization between each transceiver module, described method comprises: insert the synchronous mark position in the digital modulation of the pulse of being sent to transceiver module time slot; In the transceiver module, extract the identical lock-out pulse of phase place according to described synchronous mark position; Control the frame clock of each transceiver module with described lock-out pulse, thereby realize time-division multiple access burst frame synchronization.

In a word, the beneficial effect of method of the present invention is to eliminate no clock distribution line (having only requisite data wire) between backboard and the backboard, eliminated the signal cross-talk between backboard and backboard, avoided the systematic jitters that causes owing to clock is disturbed on the other hand, improve the electromagnetic environment of device interior greatly, improved the stability and the reliability of system.

Embodiment:

The present invention is a kind of implementation method of time-division multiple access burst frame synchronization of base station radio interface, can realize under the situation that does not have a large amount of sequential clock distribution that the TDMA burst frame of all TRM of same website is synchronous.The TDMA burst frame is synchronously mainly by realizing TDMA burst frame clock FCLK phase alignment.But do not distribute under the situation of FCLK to TRM at CMM, the FCLK phase place that each TRM is produced by local high-frequency clock branch frequency is (because the initial gate time difference of frequency divider of each TRM) that does not line up.A key of the present invention is to insert the synchronous mark position in being sent to the PCM time slot of TRM module, extracts corresponding synchronous pulse (being realized by hardware for reducing processing delay) according to the synchronous mark position then in TRM.In CMM, the insertion of synchronous mark position is controlled by unified lock-out pulse, thereby under the situation of ignoring the circuit delay inequality (be generally nanosecond order, TDMA burst frame synchronous marginal range in can ignore) of PCM, can think that the lock-out pulse that each TRM is extracted by the synchronous mark position is a phase alignment to different carrier frequency frames.Because the FCLK of each TRM is obtained by local 52MHz clock division, control the FCLK phase alignment that frequency division can be realized each TRM with the lock-out pulse that extracts, thereby realize that the TDMA burst frame is synchronous.Another key is the determining of cycle of the lock-out pulse that inserts of control synchronous mark position.Because the synchronous mark position is the fixedly time slot that inserts the PCM frame, so the clock cycle should be the integral multiple in PCM frame period.In addition, the clock cycle also should be the integral multiple in FCLK cycle, could control the FCLK phase alignment by lock-out pulse like this.We are easy to the least common multiple that definite cycle of controlling the lock-out pulse that inserts the synchronous mark position should be PCM frame period and FCLK cycle by above two conditions, i.e. 60ms (13 FCLK cycles, i.e. a TDMA burst multi-frame).

Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, represent the annexation of each functional block and signal flow to, wherein the represented funtion part of dotted line is an Abis interface common treatment function, does not belong to the present invention.CKU realizes that mainly net is synchronous and produce the 13MHz master clock among the figure, and the branch frequency device 2 (DIV-2) among the CMM then produces 60ms synchronous mark position and inserts needed various clock.60ms lock-out pulse, 8kHz and 64kHz control 60ms synchronous mark position are inserted circuit and are sent to the synchronous mark position of inserting 60ms in the 4M_HW code stream of TRM at CMM.4M_HW gives TRM after Manchester's code then.At TRM, the manchester decoder device reverts to 4M_HW NRZ (non-return-to-zero) code stream and recovers the 4MHz clock simultaneously.Extract the 8kHz clock by demodulation multiplexer (Demux) and PCM framer on the one hand subsequently, extract the 60ms lock-out pulse and control frequency divider thus by the 60ms synchronous pulse extracting circuit on the other hand and produce various required sequential clocks, so just can guarantee that the FCLK that each TRM produces all is synchronous, thereby realize that the TDMA burst frame is synchronous.

Fig. 1 is the processing block diagram of TDMA burst frame synchronizing method in CMM of BTS wave point.Except the general processing section (dotted portion among the figure) of Abis interface, CMM mainly uses 64kHz, 8kHz clock and the 60ms pulse that is obtained by 13MHz synchronization frequency division, realizes the insertion of 60ms synchronous mark position.The synchronous mark position of 60ms is inserted into the fixedly time slot (the present invention selects the TSO time slot) of 4M_HW, can guarantee that like this each TRM can extract the 60ms pulse at same time slot, thus the complexity that reduces to handle.Because it is Manchester's code all has the level saltus step at each bit of data flow, irrelevant with the statistical property of code stream.The 4M_HW that inserts like this behind the 60ms synchronous mark position encodes through manchester encoder, no matter whether comprises continuous length 0 or long 1 bit in the code stream, and TRM can both stablize, correctly and reliably recover the 4MHz clock from 4M_HW.And data flow driven is simple after the Manchester's code, available general cable transmission and distribution.In addition, Manchester codec has ready-made commercial chip.

Fig. 2 is the processing block diagram of TDMA burst frame synchronizing method in TRM of BTS wave point.In the TRM module, Manchester (Manchester) decoder reverts to 4M_HW NRZ (non-return-to-zero) code stream and recovers the 4MHz clock simultaneously.Extract 8kHz by demodulation multiplexer (Demux) and PCM framer (demodulation multiplexer and PCM framer all have special-purpose commercial chip) on the one hand subsequently, also controlling local high-frequency clock frequency division thus produces various required sequential clocks to extract the 60ms lock-out pulse by the 60ms synchronous pulse extracting circuit on the other hand.Because all 60ms lock-out pulses all are phase alignments, and are 13 frequency divisions of FCLK, so just can guarantee that the FCLK that each TRM produces all is phase alignments, thereby realize that the TDMA burst frame is synchronous.Temperature compensating crystal oscillator among the TRM (TCXO) and phase-locked loop (PLL) constitute a high-quality local high-frequency clock, and the 8kHz that extracts with framer makes its frequency accuracy consistent with the CKU among the CMM as the reference clock.

Fig. 3 is that circuit theory diagrams are inserted in 60ms synchronous mark position.The present invention selects first bit (BO) of the TSO time slot of PCM frame to be used for the insertion of 60ms synchronous mark position.Do one side like this to simplify processing of circuit, promptly only handle a bit, can reduce processing delay to greatest extent.On the other hand since the TSO time slot of PCM frame second to 8 bits (B1～B7) is intrinsic 8kHz synchronous mark (PCM frame sync mark), the B0 bit still extracts the position as the 60ms lock-out pulse like this, and B1～B7 can be used as 60ms synchronous mark authenticator, because, although the general error rate of the transfer of data between backboard and the backboard is very low, the 60ms synchronous mark position of 1 bit in transmission course since error code still may cause the erroneous judgement.The 60ms lock-out pulse extracts and the checking of 60ms synchronous mark can be carried out synchronously, if the checking of 60ms synchronous mark is correct, then Shu Chu 60ms lock-out pulse is effective, otherwise does not have the output of 60ms lock-out pulse.

Among Fig. 3,4M_HW is unit and line output by serial/parallel change-over circuit with a time slot by 64kHz time slot clock system.B1～the B7 of each time slot all straight-through (promptly without any processing) then, and the B0 bit when 8kHz and anti-phase after 60ms fixedly write 0 when being high level, when 8kHz be high level and anti-phase after 60ms fixedly write 1 during for low level, other situation then leads directly to.At last, the B0 after the processing and straight-through B1～B7 are reduced into 4M_HW output through a parallel/serial change-over circuit again.

Fig. 4 is a 60ms synchronous pulse extracting circuit schematic diagram.The decoded 4M_HW of Manchester reads in a shift register by 8kHz control, and what 8kHz control assurance was read at every turn all is the TS0 time slot of PCM frame.The B0 bit is 60ms synchronous mark position, and its output is the 60ms lock-out pulse.B1～B7 is a check word, and it comes verification by a checking circuit of being made up of simple gate, the output of check results control 60ms lock-out pulse.

Fig. 5 is the timing diagram of all various clocks of the present invention.All clocks must satisfy correct insertion and the extraction that sequential relationship among the figure could guarantee 60ms synchronous mark position.
