天線控制方法與系統Antenna control method and system

發明所屬技術領域係關於一種天線控制方法與系統。The field of the invention relates to an antenna control method and system.

隨著日漸高漲的環保意識以及節能經濟的考量,大眾運輸系統成為優先考量的重要建設。在大眾運輸系統的通訊服務架構上,目前通常採用結合車對內網路與車對外網路之兩段式服務架構以提供眾多乘客在單一行進車廂內完整的行動通訊服務。With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the consideration of energy-saving economy, the mass transit system has become an important construction priority. In the communication service architecture of the mass transit system, a two-stage service architecture combining the in-vehicle network and the vehicle's external network is usually adopted to provide a complete mobile communication service for a large number of passengers in a single traveling vehicle.

光纖微波(Radio over Fiber,RoF)技術已被廣泛應用於隧道或建築物等訊號接收品質較差的地點。近年來,光纖微波技術更結合軌道通訊系統,將微波訊號先轉換成光訊號送至遠方目的地再轉回電訊號,故可傳送高頻訊號至較遠距離而不會快速衰減。在行動通訊中,受限於基地台涵蓋範圍而會發生換手(Hand Over、Hand Off)的情形。過於頻繁的換手情形可能會導致資料傳輸效能大幅下降,甚至無法提供服務的情形,此一現象在高速移動通訊中影響更為明顯。Radio over fiber (RoF) technology has been widely used in places with poor reception quality such as tunnels or buildings. In recent years, fiber-optic microwave technology has been combined with the track communication system to convert the microwave signal into an optical signal and send it to a distant destination and then back to the electrical signal. Therefore, the high-frequency signal can be transmitted to a long distance without rapid attenuation. In mobile communications, Hand Over (Hand Off) occurs when the coverage of the base station is limited. Too often a handicap situation may result in a significant drop in data transmission performance or even a service failure. This phenomenon is more pronounced in high-speed mobile communications.

因大眾運輸系統具有可預期性移動的特性,更進一步地,於軌道通訊系統中,固定基地台結合光纖微波技術的概念被提出以形成分散式天線系統(Distributed Antenna System,DAS),可延伸基地台涵蓋範圍。同時,並可透過射頻控制方法達成移動基地台(moving cell)以避免換手的情形發生。然而,光纖微波技術在通訊系統中所傳送的訊 號為同頻,可能會導致多重路徑(multipath)效應。對行動通訊系統而言,時域的多重路徑效應會造成頻域上的通道變化,當多重路徑又具備相近的能量分佈時影響更劇。Due to the predictable mobility of the mass transit system, further, in the orbit communication system, the concept of fixed base station combined with fiber-optic microwave technology is proposed to form a distributed antenna system (DAS), an extendable base. The coverage of the station. At the same time, a moving cell can be achieved through the radio frequency control method to avoid the situation of changing hands. However, the fiber-optic microwave technology transmits information in the communication system. The number is the same frequency and may result in a multipath effect. For mobile communication systems, the multipath effect of the time domain causes channel changes in the frequency domain, and the effects are more pronounced when multiple paths have similar energy distributions.

舉例來說,當列車在兩個遠端天線單元(Remote Antenna Unit,RAU)間移動時,具備相近能量的多重路徑情況容易出現,進而導致接收品質下降,甚至被迫中斷通訊。有提出過採用基地台結合選擇服務天線來達成單一直視波(Line of Sight,LoS)訊號以減少多重路徑效應。當應用於分頻多工(frequency domain multiplexing)系統中,基地台端控制裝置會選擇最接近行動台之遠端天線單元作為服務天線單元並關閉其他遠端天線單元發送接收訊號,減少多重路徑效應。For example, when a train moves between two Remote Antenna Units (RAUs), multiple paths with similar energies are prone to occur, resulting in reduced reception quality and even forced communication interruption. It has been proposed to use a base station combined with a selective service antenna to achieve a single Line of Sight (LoS) signal to reduce multiple path effects. When applied to a frequency domain multiplexing system, the base station control device selects the remote antenna unit closest to the mobile station as the serving antenna unit and turns off the other remote antenna unit to transmit and receive signals, thereby reducing the multipath effect.

在佈建分散式天線系統時,有提出過將基地台到每一個遠端天線單元的線路以接線或加上電子延遲裝置的方式來補償成相同的傳輸延遲時間。然而,上述的作法需要額外的光纖或電子延遲裝置。分散式天線系統中傳輸延遲時間包含光纖與空氣間的訊號傳遞,而訊號在光纖中傳輸速度較在空氣間慢;而使用的光纖長度越長,可容許的純空氣中傳送涵蓋範圍就越小。若想把訊號延伸較遠則需要較高密度佈建方式;反之,一般而言若想提升單一天線涵蓋範圍則不能使用較長的光纖,整體的涵蓋範圍較無法提升。In deploying a decentralized antenna system, it has been proposed to compensate the same transmission delay time by wiring the base station to each remote antenna unit by wiring or by adding an electronic delay device. However, the above approach requires additional fiber optic or electronic delay devices. The transmission delay time in a decentralized antenna system involves the signal transmission between the fiber and the air, and the transmission speed of the signal in the fiber is slower than that between the air. The longer the length of the fiber used, the smaller the transmission range in the allowable pure air. . If you want to extend the signal farther, you need a higher density deployment method. On the contrary, if you want to increase the coverage of a single antenna, you can't use a longer fiber. The overall coverage is not improved.

The measurement module 142 acquires a plurality of channel responses of the client device 170 and the base station 120 corresponding to the plurality of remote antenna units 160.

於步驟S210中,量測單元142獲取一用戶端裝置與一基地台120之對應於多個遠端天線單元160的多個通道響應,每一個通道響應包括一訊號強度值a 及一延遲時間τ 。於步驟S220中,控制單元144依據該些通道響應計算對應該些組衰減參數與延遲參數的多個通道特徵值,這些通道特徵值反應基地台120與用戶端170裝置間之資料 傳輸量(通道傳輸品質狀態)。於步驟S230中,控制單元144依據一預設通道特徵值,選擇並輸出對應之該組衰減參數與延遲參數。In step S210, the measuring unit 142 acquires a plurality of channel responses of a client device and a base station 120 corresponding to the plurality of remote antenna units 160, and each channel response includes a signal intensity value a and a delay time τ. . In step S220, the control unit 144 calculates a plurality of channel feature values corresponding to the group of attenuation parameters and delay parameters according to the channel responses, and the channel feature values reflect the data transmission amount between the base station 120 and the user terminal 170.

In step S230, the control unit 144 selects and outputs the corresponding set of attenuation parameters and delay parameters according to a preset channel characteristic value.

接下來茲討論用戶端裝置位於基地台120之一涵蓋範圍C內一特定位置p且基地台對應至M個遠端天線單元160的情況。請參照第3圖,其繪示依照一實施範例之天線控制方法之詳細流程圖。於步驟S300中,定義多組衰減參數A與延遲參數△。每一組衰減參數A由多個衰減元素α k 組成並分別對應於第k個遠端天線160,多個衰減元素α k 數值可由系統元件可提供的裝置特性定義而得;同理,每一組延遲參數△由多個衰減元素δ k 組成並分別對應於第k個遠端天線單元160,該多個衰減元素δ k 數值可由系統元件可提供的裝置特性定義而得,k為1~M之正整數。於步驟S310中,量測模組142獲取用戶端裝置170位於該特定位置p時,對應於第k個遠端天線單元160的通道響應,此通道響應包括一訊號強度值a p,k 及一延遲時間τ p,k ,k為1~M之正整數。Next, it will be discussed that the client device is located at a specific location p within one of the base stations 120 covering the range C and the base station corresponds to the M remote antenna units 160. Please refer to FIG. 3, which illustrates a detailed flowchart of an antenna control method according to an embodiment. In step S300, a plurality of sets of attenuation parameters A and delay parameters Δ are defined. Each set of attenuation parameters A consists of a plurality of attenuation elements α k and respectively correspond to the kth remote antenna 160, and the plurality of attenuation elements α k values can be defined by the device characteristics that the system components can provide; similarly, each The group delay parameter Δ is composed of a plurality of attenuation elements δ k and respectively corresponding to the kth remote antenna unit 160, and the plurality of attenuation elements δ k values can be defined by device characteristics that can be provided by the system components, k is 1~M Positive integer. In step S310, the measurement module 142 obtains a channel response corresponding to the kth remote antenna unit 160 when the user equipment 170 is located at the specific position p, and the channel response includes a signal strength value a p, k and a The delay time τ p,k ,k is a positive integer from 1 to M.

於步驟S322中,逐一代入每一組衰減參數與延遲參數。於步驟S324中,控制模組144依據該些通道響應(a p,kτ p,k )計算當用戶端裝置170位於特定位置p時,對應步驟S322所代入該組衰減參數A與延遲參數△的通道特徵值σ p ,如公式(1)所示。通道特徵值σ p 能反應當用戶端裝置170位於特定位置p時,基地台120與用戶端170裝置間之資料傳輸量(通道傳輸品質狀態)。In step S322, each set of attenuation parameters and delay parameters are substituted one by one. In step S324, the control module 144 calculates , according to the channel responses ( a p, k and τ p, k ), when the user equipment 170 is located at the specific position p, the attenuation parameter A and the delay parameter are substituted according to the step S322. The channel characteristic value σ p of Δ is as shown in the formula (1). The channel characteristic value σ p can reflect the amount of data transmission (channel transmission quality status) between the base station 120 and the user terminal 170 when the client device 170 is at a specific position p.

於步驟S326中,判斷通道特徵值σ p 是否超過一預設門檻值(預設通道特徵值),預設門檻值由實驗決定,例如為2.5μs。 In step S326, it is determined whether the channel feature value σ p exceeds a preset threshold value (preset channel feature value), and the preset threshold value is determined experimentally, for example, 2.5 μs.

當通道特徵σ p 未超過預設門檻值,則於步驟S330中,控制模組144選擇並輸出未超過預設門檻值之通道特徵值對應之該組衰減參數 p 與延遲參數至延遲與衰減模組148以實現該組衰減參數與延遲參數,改善用戶端裝置170位於特定位置p時與基地台120間之通道傳輸品質。當通道特徵σ p 超過預設門檻值,則於步驟S327中,控制模組144找出較佳通道特徵值對應的該組衰減參數Ap 與延遲參數△p ,並於步驟S328中,判斷是否每一組衰減參數與延遲參數均已代入。若否,則回到步驟S322進行迭代操作。若是,則接續步驟S330,控制模組144選擇並輸出一較佳通道特徵值對應的該組衰減參數 p 與延遲參數至延遲與衰減模組148,改善用戶端裝置170位於特定位置p時之通道傳輸品質。於一實施範例中,此較佳通道特徵值為一最小通道特徵值,則步驟S322~S330可以公式(2)表示,其中T σ 為預設門檻值。When the channel feature σ p does not exceed the preset threshold, in step S330, the control module 144 selects and outputs the set of attenuation parameters  p and the delay parameter corresponding to the channel feature values that do not exceed the preset threshold value. The delay and attenuation module 148 is implemented to implement the set of attenuation parameters and delay parameters to improve channel transmission quality between the base station 120 and the base station 120 when the user equipment 170 is located at a specific position p. When the channel feature σ p exceeds the preset threshold, in step S327, the control module 144 finds the set of attenuation parameters Ap and the delay parameter Δp corresponding to the preferred channel feature values, and determines whether or not in step S328. Each set of attenuation parameters and delay parameters have been substituted. If no, the process returns to step S322 to perform an iterative operation. If yes, then in step S330, the control module 144 selects and outputs a set of attenuation parameters  p and delay parameters corresponding to a preferred channel feature value. To the delay and attenuation module 148, the channel transmission quality when the client device 170 is located at a specific position p is improved. In an embodiment, the preferred channel feature value is a minimum channel feature value, and steps S322-S330 can be represented by formula (2), where T σ is a preset threshold value.

請參照第4圖,其繪示包括依照本揭露之天線控制系統一實施範例之一通訊系統400之訊號傳輸路徑簡略佈建示意圖。藉由第4圖解釋圖1A、1B中之天線控制系統應 用上述之天線控制方法,基於用戶端裝置170位於一特定位置p的觀點,找出較佳化多個遠端天線單元160之通道特徵值之該組衰減參數與延遲參數,而後控制遠端天線單元160的發射功率與延遲時間,改善用戶端裝置170位於涵蓋範圍C時之通道傳輸品質,故可以解決分散式天線系統中因多重路徑效應而導致的資料傳輸速率下降問題。在第4圖中,每一個延遲與衰減模組148例如由延遲元件DLY與衰減元件ATT串聯組成。Please refer to FIG. 4 , which illustrates a schematic diagram of a signal transmission path of a communication system 400 including an embodiment of an antenna control system according to the present disclosure. Explain the antenna control system in Figure 1A, 1B by Figure 4 Using the antenna control method described above, based on the viewpoint that the user equipment 170 is located at a specific position p, the set of attenuation parameters and delay parameters for optimizing the channel characteristic values of the plurality of remote antenna units 160 are found, and then the remote antenna is controlled. The transmit power and delay time of the unit 160 improve the channel transmission quality when the user equipment 170 is in the coverage area C, so that the problem of the data transmission rate degradation caused by the multiple path effect in the distributed antenna system can be solved. In FIG. 4, each of the delay and attenuation modules 148 is composed, for example, by a delay element DLY and attenuating element ATT in series.

接下來茲討論用戶端裝置170位於基地台120之涵蓋範圍內任一位置且基地台對應至M個該些遠端天線單元160的情況。請參照第5圖,其繪示依照本揭露另一實施範例之天線控制方法之一例之詳細流程圖。於步驟S500中,定義多組衰減參數A與延遲參數△,每一組衰減參數A由多個衰減元素α k 組成並分別對應於第k個遠端天線160,該多個衰減元素α k 數值由系統元件可提供的裝置特性定義而得;同理,每一組延遲參數△由多個衰減元素δ k 組成並分別對應於第k個遠端天線160,該多個衰減元素δ k 數值由系統元件可提供的裝置特性定義而得,k為1~M之正整數。於步驟S510中,量測模組142獲取用戶端裝置170位於任一位置p時,對應於第k個遠端天線單元160的通道響應,通道響應包括一訊號強度值a p,k 及一延遲時間τ p,k ,k為1~M之正整數。Next, the case where the client device 170 is located at any position within the coverage of the base station 120 and the base station corresponds to the M remote antenna units 160 will be discussed. Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a detailed flowchart of an example of an antenna control method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. In step S500, a plurality of sets of attenuation parameters A and delay parameters Δ are defined, each set of attenuation parameters A consisting of a plurality of attenuation elements α k and respectively corresponding to the kth remote antenna 160, the plurality of attenuation elements α k values By the definition of the device characteristics that can be provided by the system components; for the same reason, each set of delay parameters Δ is composed of a plurality of attenuation elements δ k and respectively corresponding to the kth remote antenna 160, and the plurality of attenuation elements δ k are The system component can be defined by the device characteristics provided, and k is a positive integer from 1 to M. In step S510, the measurement module 142 obtains the channel response corresponding to the kth remote antenna unit 160 when the user equipment 170 is located at any position p, and the channel response includes a signal strength value a p, k and a delay. The time τ p,k ,k is a positive integer from 1 to M.

於步驟S522中,逐一代入每一組衰減參數與延遲參數。於步驟S524中,控制模組144依據該些通道響應(a p,kτ p,k )計算當用戶端裝置170位於涵蓋範圍C任一位置p 時,對應步驟S522所代入該組衰減參數A與延遲參數△的通道特徵值σ p ,如公式(1)所示。通道特徵值σ p 能反應當用戶端裝置170位於涵蓋範圍C任一位置p時,基地台120與用戶端裝置170裝置間之資料傳輸量(通道傳輸品質狀態)。In step S522, each set of attenuation parameters and delay parameters are substituted one by one. In step S524, the control module 144 calculates , according to the channel responses ( a p, k and τ p, k ), when the user equipment 170 is located at any position p of the coverage range C, the group attenuation parameter is substituted according to step S522. The channel characteristic value σ p of A and the delay parameter Δ is as shown in the formula (1). The channel characteristic value σ p can reflect the amount of data transmission (channel transmission quality status) between the base station 120 and the user equipment 170 device when the client device 170 is located at any position p of the coverage area C.

於步驟S526中,計算用戶端裝置170平均分布於涵蓋範圍C任一位置p,該些通道特徵值σ p 大於一預設門檻值(預設通道特徵值)的機率P,如公式(3)所示,其中,T σ 為由實驗決定之預設門檻值,例如為2.5μs。In step S526, it is calculated that the user equipment 170 is evenly distributed at any position p of the coverage area C, and the probability values σ p of the channel are greater than a preset threshold value (preset channel feature value), such as formula (3). As shown, where T σ is a preset threshold determined experimentally, for example, 2.5 μs.

於步驟S527中,控制模組144找出最小機率對應的該組衰減參數 與延遲參數,並於步驟S528中,判斷是否每一組衰減參數與延遲參數均已代入。若否,則回到步驟S522進行迭代操作。若是,則接續步驟S530,控制模組144選擇並輸出最小機率對應的該組衰減參數 與延遲參數至延遲與衰減模組148,以改善用戶端裝置170位於涵蓋範圍C時與基地台120間之通道傳輸品質。步驟S522~S530實質作用可以公式(4)表示。In step S527, the control module 144 finds the set of attenuation parameters  and delay parameters corresponding to the minimum probability. And in step S528, it is determined whether each set of attenuation parameters and delay parameters have been substituted. If not, the process returns to step S522 to perform an iterative operation. If yes, proceed to step S530, the control module 144 selects and outputs the set of attenuation parameters  and delay parameters corresponding to the minimum probability. The delay and attenuation module 148 is used to improve the channel transmission quality between the client device 170 and the base station 120 when it is in the coverage area C. The substantial effects of steps S522 to S530 can be expressed by equation (4).

上述之天線控制方法,基於用戶端裝置170位於涵蓋範圍C的觀點,找出較佳化用戶端裝置170位於涵蓋範圍C時與基地台120間通道特徵值大於預設門檻值的機率之該組衰減參數與延遲參數,而後控制調整遠端天線單元 160的發射功率與延遲時間,改善用戶端裝置170位於涵蓋範圍C時與基地台120間之傳輸品質,故可以解決分散式天線系統中因多重路徑效應而導致的資料傳輸速率下降問題。若環境不易變動,於第1B圖之天線系統100中,可根據衰減參數與延遲參數直接設定延遲與衰減模組168,而省略多工器149,解多工器169與控制器167。The above antenna control method is based on the viewpoint that the user equipment 170 is located in the coverage area C, and finds the group that optimizes the probability that the user equipment 170 is located in the coverage area C and the channel characteristic value between the base station 120 and the base station 120 is greater than the preset threshold value. Attenuation parameters and delay parameters, and then control to adjust the remote antenna unit The transmission power and delay time of 160 improve the transmission quality between the client device 170 and the base station 120 when the coverage area C is located, so that the problem of the data transmission rate degradation caused by the multipath effect in the distributed antenna system can be solved. If the environment is not easily changed, in the antenna system 100 of FIG. 1B, the delay and attenuation module 168 can be directly set according to the attenuation parameter and the delay parameter, and the multiplexer 149, the multiplexer 169 and the controller 167 are omitted.

此外,如第6圖所示,其繪示包括依照本揭露之天線系統之另一實施範例之一通訊系統600之訊號傳輸路徑簡略佈建示意圖。藉由第6圖解釋圖1C中之天線控制系統應用上述之天線控制方法。通訊系統600包括一基地台120、多個遠端天線區塊610_1及610_2、一量測模組(未繪示於圖)、一控制模組(未繪示於圖)以及衰減模組648(由多個衰減元件所組成)。每一個遠端天線區塊610包括一第一遠端天線單元與一第二遠端天線單元,第一遠端天線單元與基地台120間的距離大於第二遠端天線單元與基地台120間的距離。In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, a schematic diagram of a signal transmission path of the communication system 600 including one embodiment of the antenna system according to the present disclosure is shown. The antenna control method of FIG. 1C is explained by using FIG. 6 to apply the antenna control method described above. The communication system 600 includes a base station 120, a plurality of remote antenna blocks 610_1 and 610_2, a measurement module (not shown), a control module (not shown), and an attenuation module 648 ( Consists of multiple attenuation components). Each of the remote antenna blocks 610 includes a first remote antenna unit and a second remote antenna unit. The distance between the first remote antenna unit and the base station 120 is greater than the distance between the second remote antenna unit and the base station 120. the distance.

量測模組與控制模組之作用同上述之天線控制方法所述,依據一預設通道特徵值,最終決定對應較佳通道特徵值之衰減參數。衰減模組實現對應較小通道特徵值之衰減參數至該些第一遠端天線單元,例如為遠端天線單元2及3。以遠端天線區塊610_1為例做說明,遠端天線單元2與基地台120間的距離大於遠端天線單元3與基地台120間的距離,亦即遠端天線單元2在光纖間的訊號傳遞延遲時間較長。因此,以由衰減元件ATT2組成的衰減模組648施加衰減參數以降低遠端天線單元2的發射功率,並維持 遠端天線單元3的發射功率。是故,在不需調整延遲參數的情況下,分散式的天線系統600的多重路徑效應被減緩。而觀察第6圖可以得知,在單一遠端天線區塊中距離基地台120較遠的遠端天線單元其發射功率會被衰減。The function of the measurement module and the control module is the same as the antenna control method described above, and finally determines the attenuation parameter corresponding to the characteristic value of the preferred channel according to a preset channel characteristic value. The attenuation module implements attenuation parameters corresponding to the smaller channel characteristic values to the first remote antenna units, such as the remote antenna units 2 and 3. Taking the remote antenna block 610_1 as an example, the distance between the remote antenna unit 2 and the base station 120 is greater than the distance between the remote antenna unit 3 and the base station 120, that is, the signal of the remote antenna unit 2 between the optical fibers. The delivery delay is longer. Therefore, the attenuation parameter is applied by the attenuation module 648 composed of the attenuation element ATT2 to reduce the transmission power of the remote antenna unit 2 and maintain Transmit power of the remote antenna unit 3. Therefore, the multipath effect of the decentralized antenna system 600 is mitigated without the need to adjust the delay parameters. As can be seen from Fig. 6, it can be seen that the transmission power of the remote antenna unit farther from the base station 120 in the single remote antenna block is attenuated.

本揭露上述實施範例所揭露之天線控制方法與裝置的實施範例,依據一預設通道特徵值,找出較佳化用戶端裝置170位於涵蓋範圍C時與基地台120間通道特徵值,並據以控制遠端天線單元的發射功率與延遲時間,可有效解決天線系統的多重路徑效應問題。此外,本揭露更進一步提出非對稱式天線系統,降低天線系統進行通道調整時的運算複雜度,並節省天線系統的佈建成本。An embodiment of the antenna control method and apparatus disclosed in the foregoing embodiment, according to a preset channel feature value, finds a channel feature value between the base station 120 and the base station 120 when the optimized user equipment 170 is located in the coverage area C, and according to In order to control the transmit power and delay time of the remote antenna unit, the multipath effect problem of the antenna system can be effectively solved. In addition, the present disclosure further proposes an asymmetric antenna system, which reduces the computational complexity of the antenna system for channel adjustment and saves the deployment cost of the antenna system.
