INSTRUCTIONS: [Technical Street Field to Which the Invention belongs] The invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly to a method and system for establishing a backhaul network. Trailer [Prior Art] The most important thing in wireless communication money - harassment. Smart antennas use a plurality of antenna elements to produce a signal that is transmitted in a particular orientation. With smart antennas, because _ reduces the area by f, the wireless communication system can increase the capacity of the (WTRU) and the base station, thus increasing the overall age capacity. The early π 'nodes are typically connected to each other in a wired manner or in a cellular network, and the nodes communicate with each other and transmit messages, such as a backhaul = self-routing, however, the wired connection is consumed between the cores of the rewritating road, and There are no resilience changes or modifications to the network. Yube, the time, the node, the link 'when the new node joins the mesh network, it is a big load to connect back to the new node (in terms of cost and time, ^ = want - effective cost) , less lie and thin and flexible to establish a backhaul network. Pingzhuang [invention] Wireless communication system usually contains a plurality of nodes (four), heart..., one-to-one and wireless network. The invention directly uses a smart antenna to improve intra-cell communication, and the invention uses a smart antenna to establish a backhaul network. The daily Hitachi ancient PA knows the pull, the upper, the 7th and the 7th series increase the production volume, 200922175, and forming at least - part of the elastic _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Days to generate a plurality of her-to-beams with - or multiple smart antennas: point Li-tables, which contain other nodes with antennas, beams, and configuration information for transmitting messages to other nodes. When you need to return to the target node, it is time to The source node takes the beam direction of the target node and transmits the message with a pointing beam directed to the target node. [Embodiment] The invention is turned over to any wireless communication system, which includes a secret and time-sharing double L.丄, crossover duplex (touch) and time-sharing code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA), the same applies to the global mobile communication system (Cong), cdma _, general CDMA, global mobile track secret ( GSM), integrated packet no, county (10) Qing and strong GSM evolution (EDGE). 曰rmn second special term "face" includes but is not limited to a user equipment green m action ^, a solid or action A subscriber unit, a pager, or any form of device that can operate in an environment. ## hereinafter referred to as _terminology ^", /, but not limited to a base station, a station controller, An access point or any interface device that is acquainted in a wireless environment." Figure 1 is a block diagram of a network (10) of a plurality of nodes 丨02a-n in accordance with the present invention. At least one of the nodes is shown 102n, connected to a core network 110. The core of the wireless communication system The operation of the road is familiar to those skilled in the art, and 28 is not the focus of the present invention, so the core network no will not be explained in detail here: - Each node 102a-n serves one or more WTRUs (Figure Not shown), which is located within the coverage area of the point 102a-n, which may be a mesh network or a hive 200922175 ί: the road network and the cellular network Both transmission backhaul changes, and only transmitted to t and port domain connection, these connections are generally point-to-point connection suction node Ilang point transmission backhaul data to the network another position, θ jin ~ that position. For the 1 level of the link will change and therefore the return route, due to the ;! point 'especially in the mesh network connected to not _ Qing Deke [1, these sections of the beam to the direction of the details = rT ^ F102a_n provides at least one smart antenna (4). In addition, it is transmitted to the surface of the device and transmitted by the WTRUs to transmit the backhaul data to other nodes (10). Point 102 (4) Wei Li generates a plurality of pointing beams. And to. f Money_nodes and points using smart antennas can be reconfigured due to the use of smart antennas to create a link: 22 points, which increases the flexibility of the system. However, 'at least - the node will connect the two-two to the hybrid network 11Q and wirelessly connect to other nodes to provide the two-two, the connection between the group and the substantially wired core network, at least one = = H) 2a-n also provides the ability to transmit backhaul information via a wired or private link: a node with a tree and a wireless connection (the name of the community, hereinafter referred to as the ^ mouth) will be connected to the wired core network 110. In other words, when the node wirelessly transmits the backhaul information via the help of the second: 'this backhaul information will eventually pass through the hybrid 211 secret line to the core network, so the hybrid node theory can receive and send 4 females through the wireless back. Nodes can also receive and send backhaul. The core network is 11〇, thereby forming a bridge. 200922175 In one embodiment, nodes l〇2a-n have a plurality of pre-set beams 109a-h as shown in Fig. 4, and one of a plurality of beams 丨09a_h is selected for pointing-transmission or reception. The fourth 4th shows the beam as a beam, which can be generated by every 2 knots. It is worth noting that the beam shown in Figure 4 is just an example. Any number of beams, beam patterns or any form of mode Executable. In another embodiment, each beam 109a_h can be generated and pointed at once without having to pick from a preset set of locations.伯° ’ f \

Because the wireless environment and the slit county shot may change: the 2a-nf has the ability to provide more than one beam (10)a_h to link to and he = 102a-n, the bottle per section - 2a the control is received from other sections ===境' and dynamically_beam pointing and signal configuration. = Operational - the implementation is as follows: - the first selection node, for example node 102a 'generates the beam and directs it towards the other election: by, = the antenna The composite weight of the array component is achieved, such as = ground = l〇2b quality, the quality of the link A can be maximized by the money and noise ratio, the bit = line beam direction, and the best weight combination to maximize the chain The sky quality measurement and the corresponding beam pointing (weight) sub-storage the link node to do these things and store the corresponding quality and wave secrets. All neighboring nodes 102a-n are connected or any node 102a-n can be elastic and wireless. The ground is disconnected from its 200922175, and its storage is turned over to other section pairs 2a_n - or more. In the figure, the first node uses the pointing beam A transmission leg, and uses the pointing beam B to transmit the message to the fourth node Cong, pointing to the first beam: fine control and simultaneous transmission, since each pointing beam A and pointing 2^ Directional transmission 'so does not cause excessive interference to other nodes 102a-n or WTRUs. % Figure 2 is a block diagram of a node 2〇2 in accordance with the present invention. The node view includes a smart antenna 204, a controller 2〇6, a memory 208, and an unnecessary wired chain = 210. Thus, the wire link 210 can be linked to the core network 11 or other nodes. The node 202 performs a multi-path of the recording process, the fourth axis, the scale frequency ring, and the common channel interference. A radio resource management (10) function is performed by the controller 206 to determine how the radio resource should be configured in the node 2〇2. The smart antenna 204 includes a plurality of antenna elements (not shown), and α generates a complex steering beam under the skill of the controller 206. Each beam acts as a wireless link between the node and other nodes, such as Zhuang. As described herein, since the Q&A 2 is typically fixed at a specific location, the beam pointing and configuration & between the two nodes can be pre-set and stored in the memory 2〇8. The memory 2〇8 maintains a table containing configuration information of other nodes, beam pointing and each other node. When the node 2〇2 needs to transmit a message to other nodes, such as backhaul data, the controller 2〇6 will Corresponding beam pointing and configuration information is retrieved from the memory 208, and a pointing beam is directed to a specific direction, and the beam is transmitted using the beam. In the case of the hybrid node 102n, this procedure is followed by the wireless connection with other nodes with the help of the smart antenna 2〇4. When the hybrid node 1〇2η establishes a backhaul connection to the core network 110 or other nodes, no configuration information or beam selection is required, because the wired link 210 is physically fixed and always provides two nodes. The link between the two. According to the invention, the smart antenna 2_ preferably has multi-wave recording energy, wherein each node uses more than one pointing beam to simultaneously transmit the two-second material to the Wei (four) turning point. Since the over-lateral beam may be in the same cover area (four), the system capacity is substantially increased. Several nodes with several beams can be turned together, which makes changing connections and changes in the wireless environment very important. For example, if two nodes of the two nodes = Γ two beams for the connection 'if-the beam is interfered with by the degree, then the point can be cut _ another - slanting red slanting message. The system of the pitch line makes the backhaul of the thrift heterogeneous, because each of the multiple generation of the pointing beam can be connected to the beam to any node node that is added by simple ==, in addition to the configuration To establish to new = ground, _ delete "=::= : ::: = make ^ to additionally set or delete the device can create or remove the section t,, 'It is worth noting that the invention can be meshed In the road or in the hive-type scale, the _---the item is the force that generates the new ride and deletes the fine chain between the nodes. It depends on a plurality of factors, including the two "B /," point performance. As in the first job, a plurality of nodes follow the (four) system, and the line antennas between the fine gamma are mutually concentrated, whereby at least the node can be dispersed as a control node. The control can be distributed over several nodes, and the specified - node is the control node, then the control node is controlled. If the node performance information, and decide from the - node to the other - each route. A stream of good transmissions or multiple letters per node - 1G2a-n secretly transmitted in its beam - 200922175 standard signal ' provides information on the money made to the net. For example, the current identification level, traffic level, interference and other parameters can be transmitted ^ : ^ , can be packaged, taken, priority, security, identification and other forms of access ^ 2 full female control § § fL. The beacon signal is a periodic or aperiodic measurement and is used as a basis for adjusting the inter-node connections to find the most efficient line. The use of smart antennas in accordance with the present invention to form at least a portion of a wireless backhaul network establishes and adjusts the connections between nodes to be resilient and reduces unnecessary costs. For example, as shown in Figure 1, if the traffic load between the second node 1〇2b and the fourth is too heavy, the other nodes learn that the node is difficult to delete by reading the signal of the node and the job. Turn off the traffic condition, which will be described below. If the first node 102a wants to rank the traffic in the fifth section, if the invention is not only the gamma that provides the miscellaneous and wireless scaly scales, The return trip (typically via -tree, Miwei) is sent via the same chain of 2 passes. The implementation of this dual-use smart antenna mechanism in accordance with the present invention also significantly outperforms the advantages of current wireless communication systems. =3 is shown in accordance with the present invention, the smart antenna performs the transmission of the message Ϊ Γ 图 图 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少 至少Step Lion 2).
