Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for cabling error detection in a base station of a mobile communication system, and to a base station.
- An antenna array is formed of multiple antenna elements coupled to a common source in order to produce a directive radiation pattern.
- the spatial relationship between the antenna elements further contributes to the directivity of the antenna as well.
- the groups of antennas is built so that the relative phases of the respective signals feeding the antennas are varied in such a way that the effective radiation pattern of the array is reinforced in a desired direction and suppressed in an undesired direction.
- the antenna array system can be used, for example, to transmit one or more beams onto one or more different directions.
- WO 01/02871 A1 discloses a method for cabling error detection in a base station, based on identification of the individual cable connections by sending different signals via each connection from a transceiver to a combiner.
- US 2007/0247363 A1 discloses a method for compensating phase errors within an antenna system by comparing phase values measured pairwise between the antenna elements, including errors introduced by the antenna cables.
- the invention relates to a method for cabling error detection in a base station coupled to an antenna array system, the antenna array system comprising a plurality of antenna elements and a plurality of antenna cables, the antenna cables coupling the base station with the antenna elements.
- the method further comprises: obtaining at least two results of a phase shift of at least the first antenna cable by combining different sums of phase shifts of the first and second antenna cables; comparing the two results of the phase shifts of each first antenna cable; and detecting cabling error if the two results differ by any value except 0 or PI.
- An advantage of the embodiment is that an automatic and early detection of the cabling error, avoids the need of a manual check by unnecessarily reaching the high antenna mounting conditions. Another advantage of the embodiment is that when the cabling errors are correctly positioned after cabling error detection, this will improve the accuracy in the transmission of the beams and the construction of the radiation pattern.
- the method further comprises: obtaining a third result of the phase shift of at least the first antenna cable, wherein no cabling error is detected if a first and a second result of the two results are equal or differ by PI and if the third result differs by zero or pi.
- the antenna parameter represents phase shift between pairs of the antenna array elements.
- no cabling error is detected if the first and the second result differ within a margin error.
- the antenna elements of the antenna array system are connected to a base station via antenna cables of different lengths.
- the base station uses a calibration algorithm for compensating the different cable lengths by calculating the phase shift for each antenna cable.
- the antenna array system transmits a plurality of beams.
- the antenna array system is an adaptive antenna system.
- the cabling error occurs when first and second antenna cables are twisted.
- the invention in another broad aspect, relates to a base station in a communication network, the base station coupled to an antenna array system, the antenna array system comprising a plurality of antenna elements and a plurality of antenna cables, the antenna cables coupling the base station with the antenna elements, the base station comprising:
- the base station further comprises:
- the base station further comprises:
- Fig. 1 shows a block diagram 100 of a telecommunication system comprising a base station 101, a plurality of antenna cables 102, and an antenna array system 103.
- the plurality of cables 102 has different lengths and the phase shift of each cable is initially unknown. Therefore, the base station 101 compensates the cable length of the plurality of cables 102 by using a calibration algorithm by taking the known antenna parameters of the antenna array system 103 as an input data.
- the antenna array system may be for example an adaptive antenna system.
- the antenna array system may transmit a plurality of beams into different directions.
- Fig. 2 shows the details of an antenna array system 200 comprising a plurality of antenna elements 201-204.
- Each of the antenna elements 201-204 are coupled to a base station through an antenna cable as presented in fig. 1 .
- Each of the cables may have a different length.
- the antenna array system 200 is able to produce a directive radiation pattern and therefore transmitting a set of beams into different directions.
- the antenna parameters of the antenna array system indicate a phase shift between a first and a second antenna element.
- the antenna parameters are previously known values from each antenna array system.
- the antenna parameter S 12 describes the phase shift between the first antenna element and the second antenna element;
- the antenna parameter S 13 describes the phase shift between the first antenna element 201 and the third antenna element 203.
- the antenna parameter S 14 describes the phase shift between the first antenna element 201 and the fourth antenna element 204;
- the antenna parameter S 23 describes the phase shift between the second antenna element 202 and the third antenna element 203;
- the antenna parameter S 34 describes the phase shift between the third antenna parameter 203 and the fourth antenna parameter 204, and finally the antenna parameter S 24 describes the second antenna element 202 and the fourth antenna element 204. All these six antenna parameters are used as inputs in the method of detecting cabling error in the plurality of antenna cables that couple the base station with the antenna array system.
- Fig. 3 shows a communication transmitter 300 comprising a base station 301 coupled to a plurality of antenna cables 302 and an antenna array system 303 coupled to a plurality of antenna cables 302.
- the first cable C1 is twisted with the second cable C2 and therefore they describe an example of a cabling error that may incur in a failure in the transmission of the signal to the antenna array system 303 from the base station 301.
- An early detection of the cabling error without the need of a manual cable check is highly advantageous due to the high antenna mounting conditions. Further, when the cabling errors are correctly positioned after cabling error detection, this will improve the accuracy in the transmission of the beams and the construction of the radiation pattern.
- Fig. 4 shows a flowchart 400 of a cabling error detection method in a base station of a mobile communication system.
- the mobile communication system comprises a base station coupled to an antenna array system, the antenna array system comprising a plurality of antenna elements and a plurality of antenna cables.
- the antenna cables coupling the base station with the antenna elements.
- a first step 401 the antenna parameter of each first and second antenna elements of the antenna array system is obtained.
- the antenna parameters indicate a phase shift between the first and the second antenna elements, and these are predefined values obtained, for example, from the antenna array manufacturer.
- an overall phase shift between each first and second antenna element is measured.
- the overall phase shift equals the antenna parameter of the first and the second antenna element plus a sum of phase shifts of first and second antenna cables.
- the first and second antenna cables couple the first and second antenna elements to the base station respectively.
- a third step 403 the sum of phase shifts of each first and second antenna cables is calculated.
- the calculation follows a subtraction of the antenna parameter of the first and second antenna elements from the overall phase shift of the same first and second antenna element.
- a fourth step 404 at least two results of phase shift of all antenna cables are obtained by combining different sums of phase shifts of all antenna cable pairs.
- a fifth step the two results of the phase shifts of each antenna cable are compared and in a sixth step, the cabling error is detected if the two results differ by any value not equal to 0 or PI.
- the antenna array system comprises at least four antenna elements, and therefore, the plurality of antenna cables should comprise at least four cables, in order to have independent ways to calculate the phase shifts from the phase shift sums (Cn+Cm). If the results of the previous step are equal or differ by PI, a third result of a phase shift of the respective antenna cable has to be obtained. Then, no cabling error is detected if the first and the second results of the two results are equal or differ by PI, and if the third result differs by 0 or PI.
- the antenna parameter represents phase shift between pairs of the antenna array elements and under normal circumstances, no cabling error is detected if the first and the second result differ within a margin error.
- Fig. 5 shows an example of the possible calculations to obtain the overall phase shift 501 and the sum of phase shift of the first and the second antenna elements 502.
- the overall phase shift of between each first and second antenna element is measured by the base station.
- the antenna parameters of each first and second antenna elements are obtained as predefined values.
- the Anm represent the measured overall phase shift value and Snm represents the antenna parameters.
- the overall phase shift equals the antenna parameter of the first and second antenna elements plus the sum of the phase shifts of the first and the second antenna cables (Cn+Cm)
- the sum of the phase shifts of each first and second antenna cable are calculated, as shown in the formulas of 502.
- the antenna array system comprises four antenna elements
- six sums of phase shifts of first and second antenna elements are obtained, each of them describing a different combination of the first and second antenna cables.
- the results of the sums of the phase shifts of the antenna cables will be combined in order to obtain at least two results of the phase shift of at least a first antenna cable.
- the two results of the phase shift is obtained by combining the different sums of phase shifts of the first and second antenna cables as represented in 502.
- Fig. 6 shows the calculation 601 of three results of the cables phase shifts c1 and c2.
- the single antenna cable phase shifts are obtained.
- On c1a three different sums of cable shifts containing the single cable phase shifts c1, c2 and c3 is used for obtaining the first result of the cable shift.
- the second phase shift c1 b result of the same cable length is obtained from the sums of cable phase shifts containing the cable phase shifts c1, c2 and c4.
- the third result of the cable phase shift c1c is obtained from the cable phase shifts c1, c3 and c4.
- two of the three results of the phase shift of each first antenna cable are compared 602 and a cabling error is detected if the two results differ by any value except 0 or PI. If the two results are equal or differ by PI, a third result of a phase shift is obtained. The third result is compared with the other two results. If the third result is equal to the other two, or differs by PI, no cabling error is detected.
