[First Embodiment]
A first embodiment in which the present invention is suitably implemented will be described. FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the wireless relay device. The wireless relay device is a device that relays wireless communication between a base station and a mobile terminal, and includes a parent device 110, child devices 210 and 220, and a monitoring control device 410. The master unit 110 and the slave units 210 and 220 correspond to the communication area forming apparatus 10 in FIG. The portable terminals 310 and 320 correspond to the terminal ID transmission device 30 in FIG. The base station 510 corresponds to a part of the communication network 50 in FIG. The control monitoring device 410 corresponds to the control monitoring device 40 in FIG.
The monitoring control device 410 is connected to the parent device 110. The function of the monitoring control device 410 can be realized by software processing by causing a general computer terminal to execute a monitoring control program. The slave units 210 and 220 are also connected to the master unit 110. The portable terminal 310 is fixedly installed in the area of the child device 210 to be tested.

  As shown in FIG. 3, base unit 110 includes a control unit 112 that controls the operation of the base unit 110 and a donor antenna 113 that transmits and receives data to and from base station 510. The control unit 112 includes a monitoring control unit 1121 that executes a monitoring operation and a wireless communication unit 1122 that controls a function as a general wireless relay device (relay between a normal mobile terminal and the base station 510). Master device 110 also includes a memory 111 for registering and monitoring the terminal ID of the mobile terminal. FIG. 4 shows the structure of data stored in the memory 111.

  The subunit | mobile_unit 210,220 has the control parts 211 and 221 which control operation | movement of an own machine, and the service antennas 212 and 222 for transmitting / receiving with the mobile telephone terminal 310,320. The control units 211 and 221 include monitoring control units 2111 and 2112, which execute a monitoring operation, and wireless communication units 2112 and 2212 that function as a general wireless relay device (relay between a normal mobile terminal and the base station 510). It has. The service antennas 212 and 222 correspond to the wireless communication unit 11 in FIG. The monitoring control device 410 monitors the slave units 210 and 220 and manages the master unit 110.

  A downlink radio signal from the base station 510 to a normal mobile terminal (in addition to the mobile terminals 310 and 320 installed in advance in advance, which is originally used by a user for the purpose of enjoying a wireless communication service) Is converted to an electrical signal, transmitted from the wireless communication unit 1122 to the wireless communication units 2112 and 2212, converted again to a wireless signal by the service antennas 212 and 222, and transmitted. Also, the uplink radio signal from the normal mobile terminal to the base station 510 is converted into an electric signal by the service antennas 212 and 222, transmitted from the radio communication units 2112 and 2212 to the radio communication unit 1122, and again by the donor antenna 113. It is converted into a radio signal and transmitted.

An operation of the wireless relay device according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 shows an operation flow of the wireless relay device.
First, an instruction is sent from the monitoring control device 410 connected to the parent device 110 to the monitoring control unit 1121, and each service area of each of the child devices 210 and 220 is displayed in the “ID to be received” column of the memory 111 of the parent device 110. The terminal IDs 311 and 321 of the portable terminals 310 and 320 installed therein are registered (step S101).

  In a state where the portable terminal IDs 311 and 321 are registered, the monitoring control system 410 is activated from the monitoring control device 410 (step S102).

  After the system startup, the monitoring control device 410 monitors whether it is within the set time range (step S103). If it is within the set time range (step S103 / Yes), an instruction is sent to the slave unit 210 via the master unit 110, and the monitor control unit 2111 monitors the signal from the portable terminal 310 (step S104).

  Then, the signal 315 is transmitted from the portable terminal 310 at a predetermined timing within the set time (step S105). An example of the signal transmitted by the mobile terminal 310 at this time is registration.

  If the monitoring control unit 2111 of the slave unit 210 can receive the signal 315 (step S106 / Yes), it sets the received terminal ID in the signal 215 for the master unit 110 (step S107). On the other hand, if the signal 315 from the portable terminal 310 cannot be received (step S106 / No), null is set to the signal 215 for the parent device 110 (step S108).

  Thereafter, the signal 215 is transmitted from the child device 210 to the parent device 110 (step S109). Upon receiving the signal 215, the monitoring control unit 1121 of the parent device 110 writes the terminal ID or null set in the signal 215 in the “reception result” column of the child device 210 in the memory 111 (step S110).

  Next, the monitoring control device 410 reads information recorded in the memory 111 of the parent device 110 at a predetermined timing, and displays the result on the monitoring control device 410 (step S111).

  Thereafter, when monitoring is to be continued, an instruction to continue monitoring is sent from the monitoring control device 410 to the parent device 110 and the child devices 210 and 220, and the process proceeds to step S103 to continue monitoring control (step S112 / continuation of monitoring). When ending the monitoring operation, the monitoring control device 410 sends an end instruction to the parent device 110 and the child devices 210 and 220 to end the monitoring operation (step S112 / end).

As described above, the wireless relay device is a device that relays a signal between the base station 510 and the mobile terminals 310 and 320, and is connected to the service antennas 212 and 222 for direct transmission and reception with the mobile terminals 310 and 320. The slave units 210 and 220 are operating normally by receiving signals transmitted at the set time from the portable terminals 310 and 320 that are installed in the subordinate areas and are to be transmitted and received. Monitor that. If a signal is not received from the terminal to be received, or if the signal is received by a slave unit that is different from the test target in a plurality of slave units installed, whether the target slave unit is abnormal, It is detected that the propagation environment has changed from the time when the handset is installed, and it is necessary to change the place where the handset is installed.
If the terminal ID 311 can be normally detected from the portable terminal 310 to be received by the child device 210 under the parent device 110 (Yes in step S106), the message “To be received” in the memory 111 of the parent device 110 is displayed. Since the terminal ID 311 set in the “ID” column matches the ID written in the “reception result” column, the monitoring control device 410 determines that the slave unit 210 is operating normally. On the other hand, if the terminal ID 311 could not be received from the portable terminal 310 at the determined time (NO in step S106), the terminal ID 311 set in the column “ID to be received” in the memory 111; Since it does not match the null written in the column “Reception Result”, the monitoring control device 410 determines that the slave unit 210 is not normal and displays that fact.

  Alternatively, when the terminal ID 311 of the mobile terminal 310 is detected in the “Reception result” column of the slave unit other than the slave unit 210 to be received (for example, the slave unit 220), the monitoring control device 410 displays this. Thus, the user can confirm that the slave unit 210 is abnormal or that the installation position needs to be reexamined.

  The above operation is performed when the slave unit 210 is monitored. Needless to say, the same applies when monitoring whether the slave unit 220 is operating normally.

  As described above, the wireless relay device according to the present embodiment communicates as planned in a place where a plurality of slave units to which a service antenna for direct transmission / reception with a mobile terminal is connected are installed, or propagates. Even after the environment changes, you can automatically monitor and confirm whether communication is normally performed at the installation location.

[Second Embodiment]
A second embodiment in which the present invention is suitably implemented will be described. FIG. 6 shows the configuration of the wireless relay device according to the present embodiment.
Similar to the first embodiment, the wireless relay device includes a parent device 150, child devices 250 and 260, and a monitoring control device 410. The monitoring control device 410 is connected to the parent device 150. The slave units 250 and 260 are also connected to the master unit 150. The portable terminal 310 is fixedly installed in the area of the child device 250 to be tested.

  FIG. 7 shows a functional configuration of the wireless relay device. Similar to the first embodiment, base unit 150 includes donor antenna 153 for realizing MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) communication between control unit 152 that controls the operation of the base unit and base station 510. 154. The control unit 152 includes a monitoring control unit 1521 that performs a monitoring operation and a wireless communication unit 1522 that controls a function as a general wireless relay device (relay between a normal mobile terminal and the base station 510). Base unit 150 also includes a memory 151 for registering and monitoring terminal IDs of portable terminals 350 and 360. FIG. 8 shows the structure of data stored in the memory 151.

  The subunit | mobile_unit 250,260 has the control parts 253,263 which control the operation | movement of an own machine, and the service antennas 251,252,261,262 for transmitting / receiving with the mobile telephone terminal 350,360. The slave unit 250 is provided with two antennas, an antenna 251 and an antenna 252 in order to realize MIMO communication. Similarly, the slave unit 260 is provided with two antennas, an antenna 261 and an antenna 262, in order to realize MIMO communication. The control units 253 and 263 include monitoring control units 2531 and 2631 that perform monitoring operations, and wireless communication units 2532 and 2632 that serve as a general wireless relay device (relay between a normal mobile terminal and the base station 510). It has.

  The monitoring control device 410 monitors the slave units 250 and 260 and manages the master unit 150. The monitoring control device 410 can individually enable and control the antennas 251 and 252 of the child device 250 via the parent device 150.

  A downlink radio signal from the base station 510 to a normal mobile terminal (in addition to the mobile terminals 350 and 360 installed in advance in advance, which is originally used by the user for the purpose of enjoying a wireless communication service) is a donor antenna 153. 154 is converted into an electric signal, transmitted from the wireless communication unit 1522 to the wireless communication units 2532 and 2632, converted into a wireless signal again by the service antennas 251, 252, 261 and 262, and transmitted. Further, the uplink radio signal from the normal mobile terminal to the base station 510 is converted into an electric signal by the service antennas 251, 252, 261, and 262, transmitted from the radio communication units 2532 and 2632 to the radio communication unit 1522, and the donor It is again converted into a radio signal by the antenna 153 and transmitted.

  In MIMO communication, it is necessary to lower the correlation between channels. For this reason, the antennas 251 and 252 are configured to have, for example, orthogonal means. In this configuration, it is necessary to confirm that communication with a desired portable terminal is possible within the area of the antennas 251 and 252. For this purpose, the two antennas 251 and 252 are alternately enabled, the same signal from the portable terminal 350 as in the first embodiment is transmitted twice, and the slave unit 250 is operating normally in the area. To monitor.

9 and 10 show a flow of operations of the wireless relay device according to the present embodiment.
First, an instruction is sent from the monitoring control device 410 connected to the parent device 150 to the monitoring control unit 1521, and each service area of each of the child devices 250 and 260 is displayed in the “ID to be received” column of the memory 151 of the parent device 150. The terminal IDs 351 and 361 of the portable terminals 350 and 360 installed therein are registered (step S201).

  Thereafter, the monitoring control system 410 is activated from the monitoring control device 410 in a state where the portable terminal IDs 351 and 361 are registered (step S202).

  Thereafter, the monitoring control device 410 controls the child device 250 so that the antenna 251 is enabled and the antenna 252 is disabled (step S203).

  When the control of the slave unit 250 is completed, the monitoring control device 410 monitors whether it is within the set time range (step S204). If it is within the set time range (step S204 / Yes), an instruction is sent to the slave unit 250 via the master unit 150 to monitor the signal from the portable terminal 350 (step S205).

  Then, the signal 355 is transmitted from the portable terminal 350 at a predetermined timing within the set time (step S206). An example of the signal transmitted by the portable terminal 350 at this time is registration.

  If the monitoring control unit 2531 of the child device 250 has received the signal 355 (step S207 / Yes), the received terminal ID is set in the signal 255 for the parent device 150 (step S208). On the other hand, if the signal 355 from the portable terminal 350 cannot be received (step S207 / No), the monitoring control unit 2531 sets null to the signal 255 for the parent device 150 (step S209).

  Thereafter, signal 255 is transmitted from slave unit 250 to master unit 150 (step S210). When receiving the signal 255, the monitoring control unit 1521 of the parent device 150 writes the terminal ID or null set in the signal 255 in the “Antenna 1” column of the “Reception result” of the child device 250 in the memory 151 ( Step S211).

  Thereafter, the monitoring control device 410 controls the slave unit 250 so that the antenna 251 is disabled and the antenna 252 is enabled at a predetermined timing (step S212).

  When the control of handset 250 is completed, signal 355 is transmitted from portable terminal 350 (step S213). An example of the signal transmitted by the portable terminal 350 at this time is registration.

  If the monitoring control unit 2531 of the child device 250 can receive the signal 355 (step S214 / Yes), it sets the received terminal ID to the signal 255 for the parent device 150 (step S215). On the other hand, if the signal 355 from the portable terminal 350 cannot be received (step S214 / No), the monitoring control unit 2531 sets null to the signal 255 for the parent device 150 (step S216).

  Thereafter, the signal 255 is transmitted from the child device 250 to the parent device 150 (step S217). Upon receiving the signal 255, the monitoring control unit 1521 of the parent device 150 writes the terminal ID or null set in the signal 255 in the “Antenna 2” column of the “Reception result” of the child device 250 in the memory 151 ( Step S218).

  Next, the monitoring control device 410 reads information recorded in the memory 151 of the parent device 150 at a predetermined timing, and displays the result on the monitoring control device 410 (step S219).

  Thereafter, when monitoring is to be continued, an instruction to continue monitoring is sent from the monitoring control device 410 to the parent device 150 and the child devices 250 and 260, and the process proceeds to step S103 to continue monitoring control (step S220 / continuation of monitoring). When ending the monitoring operation, the monitoring control device 410 sends an end instruction to the parent device 150 and the child devices 250 and 260 to end the monitoring operation (Step S220 / End).

  If terminal unit 351 can be normally detected from portable terminal 350 to be received by slave unit 250 under master unit 150 of the wireless relay device (steps S207 and S214 are both Yes), Since the terminal ID 351 set in the column of “ID to be received” in the memory 151 of 150 matches the ID written in the column of “reception result” of each of the antennas 251 and 252, the monitoring controller 410 Determines that the slave unit 250 is operating normally. On the other hand, if the terminal ID 351 could not be received from the portable terminal 350 at the predetermined time (No in at least one of step S207 and step S214), it is set in the “ID to be received” column of the memory 151. Since the terminal ID 351 and the null written in the “Reception result” column of at least one of the antennas 251 and 252 do not match, the monitoring control device 410 displays that the slave unit 250 is not normal. To do.

  Alternatively, when the terminal ID 351 of the portable terminal 350 is detected in the “Reception result” column of the slave unit other than the slave unit 250 to be received (for example, the slave unit 260), the monitoring control device 410 displays this. Thus, the user can confirm that the slave unit 250 is abnormal or that the review of the installation position is necessary.

  Although the above operation is for monitoring the slave unit 250, it goes without saying that the same is true when monitoring whether the slave unit 260 is operating normally.

  As described above, the wireless relay device according to the present embodiment communicates as planned in a place where a plurality of slave units to which a service antenna for direct transmission / reception with a mobile terminal is connected are installed, or propagates. Even after the environment changes, you can automatically monitor and confirm whether communication is normally performed at the installation location.

  In the above example, the configuration in which the slave unit includes two antennas is taken as an example. However, in the slave unit configured with three or more antennas, reception results of all antennas are set as IDs to be received. What is necessary is just to judge that it can communicate normally, when it corresponds with the terminal ID which received.

In addition, the said embodiment is an example of suitable implementation of this invention, and this invention is not limited to this.
For example, in each of the above embodiments, the monitoring operation in the radio relay apparatus has been described as an example. However, monitoring whether the radio base station is operating normally in the propagation area of the radio base station can be performed by the same procedure.
In the second embodiment, since it is assumed that MIMO communication is performed, when the reception results of all antennas match the terminal ID set as an ID to be received, the antenna operates normally. However, when MIMO communication is not performed even when a plurality of antennas are provided, the reception result of at least one of the plurality of antennas matches the terminal ID set as the ID to be received. You may consider it operating normally.
As described above, the present invention can be variously modified.
