Description

ICT-based communication repeater {Information and communication technologies-based communication repeater}

The present invention relates to an ICT-based communication repeater.

With the rapid development of mobile communication services, there is a demand for high-quality services even in shadow areas such as mountainous areas, remote islands, blind spots in urban areas, subways, tunnels, and apartment complexes where mobile communication services are not fully provided.

The shaded area refers to an area where the radio wave path between the base station and the terminal is cut off, that is, an area where radio waves cannot reach due to buildings or terrain. To eliminate these shadow areas, additional base stations are installed or a wireless network is designed using repeaters.

However, building additional base stations to resolve small shadow areas has the problem of excessive investment in cost, so small shadow areas are solved with repeaters. For example, a repeater is used indoors, such as an office.

Meanwhile, conventional communication repeaters did not have a function to immediately notify when a problem occurred in the power line or incoming communication line, and this had a fundamental problem in that it was impossible to know at all where the problem occurred.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the communication abnormality lamp 80 and the power abnormality lamp 90 are installed to be exposed at the upper end on the front of the case 21 constituting the communication repeater main body 20.

These communication error lamps 80 and power error lamps 90 are each controlled by the main control unit 100 to blink the lamps, and accordingly, the user can detect communication (unstable connection or disconnection) through the blinking light of the lamp. By being able to intuitively know that an abnormality (problem) has occurred in the power supply (overcurrent, etc.) or power supply (overcurrent, etc.), follow-up measures can be taken quickly.

Referring to FIG. 4, the main control unit 100 may be equipped with separate detection means that can detect communication abnormalities and power supply abnormalities.

When the main control unit 100 detects a communication error in the communication relay unit 24, the first and second rotation motors (31 and 41) constituting the first and second antenna rotation units (30 and 40) rotate clockwise. The operation is controlled to rotate so that the vertically erected transmitting and receiving antennas (25A, 25B) are laid horizontally (left) and the communication error lamp (80) blinks.

The operation of the first and second rotation motors (31, 41) constituting the units (30, 40) is controlled.

As described above, when an abnormality (problem) occurs in communication or power, the erected transmitting/receiving antennas (25A, 25B) are operated to be laid horizontally and the corresponding lamps (80, 90) are operated to blink, thereby visually informing the user. has the advantage of enabling prompt follow-up action because the occurrence of an abnormality (problem) can be intuitively known through the tilted directions of the corresponding lamps (80, 90) and the transmitting/receiving antennas (25A, 25B).

Meanwhile, in the case of this embodiment, it has been explained as an example that the corresponding lamps 80 and 90 blink when an abnormality (problem) occurs, but the colors of the corresponding lamps 80 and 90 can be changed as needed (e.g., in normal times) It can be configured to blink green, red when an error occurs, or alternately blinking green and red.

In addition, in this embodiment, when an abnormality (problem) occurs in communication or power, the transmitting and receiving antennas 25A and 25B are configured to be laid horizontally. Although they are shown as lying simultaneously in one direction, they can be laid in the opposite direction as needed ( Example: The transmitting antenna is oriented horizontally on the left and the receiving antenna is oriented horizontally on the right, or only the wireless antenna adjacent to the lamp can be configured to be oriented horizontally.

Figures 5a and 5b are diagrams for explaining the operational effects of the ICT-based communication repeater according to the present invention, which are explained with reference to Figures 5a and 5b as follows.

Referring to FIG. 5A, when a communication error in the communication relay unit 24 is detected, the main control unit 100 operates the first and second rotation motors 31, which constitute the first and second antenna rotation units 30 and 40. 41) is controlled to rotate clockwise, and the first and second drive gears (32 and 42) are rotated clockwise by the rotation of the first and second rotation motors (31 and 41), and the first and second drive gears (32 and 42) are rotated clockwise. As the second driving gear (32, 42) rotates, the first and second driving gears (33, 43) engage and rotate counterclockwise.

And, as the first and second driven gears (33, 43) rotate counterclockwise, the transmitting and receiving antennas (25A, 25B) of which the first and second driven gears (33, 43) are integrally formed at the ends of the first and second driven gears (33, 43) are formed in a counterclockwise direction. ·As it rotates counterclockwise together with the second gear gears (33, 43), the vertically standing transmitting and receiving antennas (25A, 25B) are laid horizontally (to the left), and in addition, the communication error lamp (80) The operation is controlled to blink.

Meanwhile, referring to Figure 5b, when a power supply abnormality of the power supply unit 26 is detected, the main control unit 100 operates the first and second rotation motors constituting the first and second antenna rotation units 30 and 40. (31, 41) is controlled to rotate counterclockwise, and the first and second drive gears (32, 42) are rotated counterclockwise by the rotation of the first and second rotation motors (31, 41). As the first and second driving gears (32 and 42) rotate, the first and second driven gears (33 and 43) engage and rotate clockwise.

And as the first and second driven gears (33 and 43) rotate clockwise, the transmitting and receiving antennas (25A and 25B) of which the first and second driven gears (33 and 43) are integrally formed at the ends of the first and second driven gears (33 and 43) are formed clockwise. As it rotates clockwise together with the second gear gears (33, 43), the vertically standing transmitting and receiving antennas (25A, 25B) are laid horizontally (to the right), and the power error lamp (90) blinks.

As described above, when an abnormality (problem) occurs in communication or power, the erected transmitting/receiving antennas (25A, 25B) are operated to be laid horizontally and the corresponding lamps (80, 90) are operated to blink, thereby visually informing the user. has the advantage of enabling prompt follow-up action because the occurrence of an abnormality (problem) can be intuitively known through the tilted directions of the corresponding lamps (80, 90) and the transmitting/receiving antennas (25A, 25B).

In other words, it is easy to know if an abnormality (problem) occurs in communication or power through the status display (horizontally laid out and blinking) of the transmitting/receiving antennas (25A, 25B) and the corresponding lamps (80, 90), especially in time It is very useful as it is easy to identify because it is visible during the viewing process.

On the other hand, when the problem (problem) in communication or power is resolved and the user presses the reset unit 70, the main control unit 100 receives a reset signal from the reset unit 70 and horizontally moves (left or right). The operation of the first and second rotation motors (31 and 41) constituting the first and second antenna rotation units (30 and 40) is controlled so that the transmitting and receiving antennas (25A, 25B), which are laid down, are erected vertically.
