Background technique
以 GSM和 CDMA为代表的移动通信网络是目前应用最为广泛的通信系 统。 该系统具有结构复杂、 用户数量众多、 业务吞吐量巨大的特点, 因而对 网络优化和相关测试的要求也越来越高。在网络优化的过程中, 需要获取的 一个关键参数是指定区域内的移动用户终端 (即手机) 的精确数量。 但是, 目前对于指定区域内用户终端的数量确定还没有一个科学客观的测量方法, 主要是由从事网络优化的工程师根据工作经验进行估计。这种主观估计方法 存在不能准确地获知指定区域内的用户终端精确数量的缺点。  The mobile communication network represented by GSM and CDMA is currently the most widely used communication system. The system has the characteristics of complex structure, numerous users and huge service throughput, so the requirements for network optimization and related testing are getting higher and higher. One key parameter that needs to be acquired during network optimization is the exact number of mobile user terminals (ie, mobile phones) within a given area. However, there is currently no scientific and objective measurement method for determining the number of user terminals in a given area, mainly by engineers engaged in network optimization based on work experience. This subjective estimation method has the disadvantage of not being able to accurately know the exact number of user terminals in a given area.
基站模拟器是一种可以模拟一个移动通信基站所发出的所有信号的测 试设备。 该设备可以与移动用户终端进行各种空中接口层面的联络和互控。  A base station simulator is a test device that can simulate all signals sent by a mobile communication base station. The device can communicate and control each other at the air interface level with the mobile user terminal.
基站模拟器的组成与一个基站基本相同, 核心的组件包括收发信机、 基 带处理等。 除此之外, 基站模拟器还具各基站控制器、 移动交换中心、 移动 用户访问位置寄存器、 移动用户归属位置寄存器、 设备管理寄存器的部分功 能, 便于实现用户的登录操作, 并在移动用户登录基站模拟器后对移动用户 提供简单服务。 例如: 对某个用户进行呼叫、 向某个用户发送短信、 向所有 用户发送小区广播消息、 对某个用户进行鉴权等等。 同时, 基站模拟器也可 以控制某些移动用户进行一些其他的操作。 例如: 控制某个用户测试基站模 拟器信号强度, 并将测试结果发送给基站模拟器等等。 这些控制只要通过操 作基站模拟器按钮或通过基站模拟器接口发送指令即可实现。基站模拟器作 为移动通信测试领域的基本测试设备, 早已得到普遍的使用。 目前, 市面上 存在很多基站模拟器, 它们的主要用途是对移动用户终端进行测试, 因此在 手机生产和手机维修等方面有着广泛的应用。 根据用途的不同, 基站模拟器 产品也被称作 "无线电综合测试仪"、 "手机检测仪"等。 目前, 也存在利 用基站模拟器对手机进行测试的方法, 请参见图 1, 具体包括如下步骤: 首 先在步骤 Sl, 使用户终端处于关机状态; 接着, 在步骤 S2, 通过专用测试 设备(即移动通信服务商所具有的测试设备)或普通设备(即任何一款处于 工模状态的手机)来测试当前移动通信基站的参数, 在该测试方法中有用的 参数主要为当前控制信道的载频和控制信道的位置区编号 (LAC) ; 然后, 在步骤 S3,针对已知用户终端按照所测得移动通信基站的参数设定基站模拟 器的一系列的参数, 该设定方式都是公知的常用设定方式, 其中国家号 (MCC) 、 网号 (MNC) 、 基站色码 (BSIC) 等都是相同的默认设置, 而 位置区编号(LAC)则设置成与当前用户终端的移动通信基站的控制信道位 置区编号相同, 其工作载频则设置为与当前移动通信基站的控制信道的工作 载频相同, 并根据当前用户终端的测试来设定其他参数; 接着, 在步骤 S4, 在用户终端处在开机状态后, 其接收到基站模拟器按照设定的参数发射的信 号, 被强制接入基站模拟器; 最后, 在步骤 S5, 基站模拟器测试到移动用户 终端的存在, 获取用户终端的信息并对接入的用户终端进行各种常规测试。 The base station simulator has the same composition as a base station, and the core components include transceivers, baseband processing, and the like. In addition, the base station simulator also has some functions of each base station controller, mobile switching center, mobile user access location register, mobile user home location register, and device management register, which facilitates user login operation and login on mobile users. The base station simulator provides a simple service to mobile users. For example: Calling a user, sending a text message to a user, sending a cell broadcast message to all users, authenticating a user, and so on. At the same time, the base station simulator can also control some mobile users to perform some other operations. For example: Control a user to test the base station simulator signal strength, and send the test results to the base station simulator and so on. These controls can be implemented by operating the base station simulator button or by sending commands through the base station simulator interface. As a basic test equipment in the field of mobile communication testing, the base station simulator has long been widely used. At present, there are many base station simulators on the market. Their main purpose is to test mobile user terminals, so they have a wide range of applications in mobile phone production and mobile phone maintenance. Base station simulator products are also called "radio integrated testers" and "mobile phone testers" depending on the application. Currently, there are also benefits The method for testing the mobile phone by using the base station simulator, as shown in FIG. 1 , specifically includes the following steps: First, in step S1, the user terminal is in a shutdown state; then, in step S2, through a dedicated test device (ie, a mobile communication service provider) Test equipment) or common equipment (ie any mobile phone in the state of the model) to test the parameters of the current mobile communication base station. The parameters useful in the test method are mainly the carrier frequency of the current control channel and the position of the control channel. Zone number (LAC); Then, in step S3, a series of parameters of the base station simulator are set for the known user terminal according to the measured parameters of the mobile communication base station, and the setting manners are well-known common setting modes. The country number (MCC), the network number (MNC), the base station color code (BSIC), etc. are all the same default settings, and the location area number (LAC) is set to the control channel location area of the mobile communication base station with the current user terminal. If the number is the same, the working carrier frequency is set to be the same as the working carrier frequency of the control channel of the current mobile communication base station, and according to the current The user terminal is tested to set other parameters; then, in step S4, after the user terminal is in the power-on state, it receives the signal transmitted by the base station simulator according to the set parameters, and is forced to access the base station simulator; In step S5, the base station simulator tests the presence of the mobile user terminal, acquires the information of the user terminal, and performs various routine tests on the accessed user terminal.
但是, 上述测试方法并不能确认移动用户终端的存在, 其只能对接入的 用户终端进行各种常规测试, 而并不能精确统计接入的用户终端的数量。 目 前无法直接利用基站模拟器确认移动用户终端存在并精确统计其数量的原 因主要有以下两点:  However, the above test method does not confirm the existence of the mobile user terminal, and it can only perform various routine tests on the accessed user terminal, and cannot accurately count the number of accessed user terminals. There are two main reasons why the base station simulator cannot directly use the base station simulator to confirm the existence of the mobile user terminal and accurately count the number:
首先, 目前的测试方法一般是在没有移动通信网络覆盖的屏蔽间应用, 也就是测试前用户必须关机; 而在普通环境下使用基站模拟器进行测试时, 如果移动用户终端已经处于开机状态, 由于基站模拟器的主要参数基本上与 该移动用户终端的移动通信基站的参数相同, 则该移动用户终端不会主动向 基站模拟器登录, 基站模拟器就无法获知移动用户终端的存在, 获取移动用 户的信息或对移动用户进行控制。 因此, 现有的测试方法对环境的要求高, 不利于操作。  First of all, the current test method is generally applied in the shield without mobile communication network coverage, that is, the user must shut down before the test; while in the normal environment, when using the base station simulator for testing, if the mobile user terminal is already in the boot state, due to The main parameters of the base station simulator are basically the same as the parameters of the mobile communication base station of the mobile user terminal, and the mobile user terminal does not actively log in to the base station simulator, and the base station simulator cannot know the existence of the mobile user terminal, and obtains the mobile user. Information or control of mobile users. Therefore, the existing test methods have high environmental requirements and are not conducive to operation.
其次, 现有的基站模拟器对参数的设定一般非常随意, 只是针对已知有 限用户的测试来设定, 对于未知的用户终端则没有客观的基站模拟器参数的 设定方法。 发明内容 针对上述已知技术的缺陷, 提出本发明。 Secondly, the existing base station simulators are generally very arbitrarily set for parameters, but are set for tests of known limited users, and there is no objective method for setting base station simulator parameters for unknown user terminals. Summary of the invention The present invention has been made in view of the deficiencies of the above known techniques.

在移动通信网络中, 特别是对移动通信网络进行网络优化的过程中, 需 要获知指定区域内的移动用户终端的存在情况, 并且统计出指定区域内准确 的移动用户终端数量。本发明即提供一种利用基站模拟器来测试指定区域内 的移动用户终端的存在情况, 并且进一步统计指定区域内的移动用户终端数 量的方法。 该方法对移动通信系统如 GSM系统和 CDMA系统都同样适用。  In the mobile communication network, especially in the process of network optimization of the mobile communication network, it is necessary to know the existence of the mobile user terminal in the designated area, and count the number of accurate mobile user terminals in the designated area. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a method for testing the presence of mobile user terminals in a designated area using a base station simulator and further counting the number of mobile user terminals within a designated area. This method is equally applicable to mobile communication systems such as the GSM system and the CDMA system.
基站模拟器是一种在移动通信系统如 GSM系统和 CDMA系统中都广泛 使用的小型基站子系统, 该系统没有与移动通信网络运营商的网络进行任何 连接, 但是却具有与移动通信基站一样的空中接口能力。 本发明所用的基站 模拟器的结构组成与现有技术的相同, 此处不再赘述。  The base station simulator is a small base station subsystem widely used in mobile communication systems such as GSM systems and CDMA systems. The system does not have any connection with the mobile communication network operator's network, but has the same mobile communication base station. Air interface capability. The structure of the base station simulator used in the present invention is the same as that of the prior art, and details are not described herein again.
目前, 市场上有多种不同种类的基站模拟器, 它们多数都可以用于实施 本发明所述的方法。  Currently, there are many different types of base station simulators on the market, most of which can be used to implement the methods described herein.
下面主要以 GSM系统为例, 具体介绍本发明所述的利用基站模拟器来 确认移动用户终端存在与否并精确统计其数量的方法。  The following mainly takes the GSM system as an example, and specifically describes a method for using the base station simulator to confirm the presence or absence of a mobile user terminal and accurately counting the number thereof.
参照图 2所示, 本发明所述的方法具体包括如下的步骤:  Referring to FIG. 2, the method of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:
步骤 S1 : 测试当前移动通信基站的参数。  Step S1: Test the parameters of the current mobile communication base station.
测试当前移动通信基站的参数这一步骤可以由专用测试设备或者普通 设备按照常规的测试方式来进行。这里所说的专用测试设备是指移动通信服 务商所具有的测试设备, 如专用的移动测试终端, 而普通设备则是指任何一 款处于工模状态的手机。因为任何一种 GSM和 CDMA手机都具有工模状态, 当该手机进入工模状态时, 其本身就具备显示当前移动通信网络的环境参数 的能力。 上述的当前移动通信基站的参数可以包括很多具体内容。 在 GSM 系统中, 主要包括移动通信基站的当前控制信道的载频、 候选信道的载频、 控制信道的位置区编号 (LAC) 、 候选信道位置区编号 (LAC) 、 控制信道 和候选信道的评分值、 当前网络运营商号码等。 在 CDMA系统中, 则包括 邻区表、 区域号码、 有效导频集信号、 候选导频集信号、 基站经纬度等, 该 区域号码为移动通信网络针对不同区域设定的位置区编号。 The step of testing the parameters of the current mobile communication base station can be performed by a dedicated test device or a general device in accordance with a conventional test method. The special test equipment mentioned here refers to the test equipment of the mobile communication service provider, such as a dedicated mobile test terminal, and the ordinary equipment refers to any mobile phone in the state of the model. Since any GSM and CDMA handsets have a model state, when the handset enters the mode state, it has the ability to display the environmental parameters of the current mobile communication network. The parameters of the current mobile communication base station described above may include many specific contents. In the GSM system, it mainly includes the carrier frequency of the current control channel of the mobile communication base station, the carrier frequency of the candidate channel, The location area number (LAC) of the control channel, the candidate channel location area number (LAC), the score value of the control channel and the candidate channel, the current network operator number, and the like. In the CDMA system, the neighboring area table, the area number, the effective pilot set signal, the candidate pilot set signal, the base station latitude and longitude, and the like are included, and the area number is a location area number set by the mobile communication network for different areas.
步骤 S2: 根据所测的当前移动通信基站的参数设定基站模拟器工作参 数。  Step S2: Set the base station simulator working parameters according to the measured parameters of the current mobile communication base station.
步骤 S2中, 基站模拟器在工作时需要设置很多参数。 对于本领域的一 般技术人员而言, 该常用参数的设置方法如上所述是公知的, 以下将不再赘 述, 下面将详细描述本发明的基站模拟器的不同于现有技术的关键参数设 定。 在当前移动通信基站的覆盖区内, 所有移动用户终端均可接收到该基站 的控制信道中的各种信号。该基站控制信道的信号中包含了邻区表(BA)和 位置区编号(LAC) 。 以下介绍决定基站模拟器所在的指定区域内的移动用 户终端能否成功登录到该基站模拟器的关键参数的设定方法。  In step S2, the base station simulator needs to set a lot of parameters when working. For those skilled in the art, the setting method of the common parameters is well known as described above, and will not be described below. The key parameter setting of the base station simulator of the present invention different from the prior art will be described in detail below. . In the coverage area of the current mobile communication base station, all mobile user terminals can receive various signals in the control channel of the base station. The signal of the control channel of the base station includes a neighboring cell table (BA) and a location area number (LAC). The following describes a method for setting the key parameters for determining whether the mobile user terminal in the designated area where the base station simulator is located can successfully log in to the base station simulator.
在 GSM系统中, 决定已经处于开机状态的移动用户终端能否登录到基 站模拟器的关键参数有两个: 基站模拟器的发射信号的载频和位置区编号 (LAC) 。 设定基站模拟器这两个参数的方法是: 将上述使用专有设备或者 普通设备测量出的任一候选信道的载频作为基站模拟器的工作载频, 即在当 前所在地移动通信基站的邻区表(BA)中选择任一载频作为基站模拟器的工 作载频。 在邻区表中标注了邻区基站所使用的载频号码, 因此, 我们可以从 邻区表中选择一个邻区载频作为基站模拟器的工作载频。 另外, 将基站模拟 器的位置区编号(LAC)设置成与上述测量的当前所在地移动通信基站的位 置区编号 (LAC)不同的编号。 这是本发明所述方法得以实现的关键所在。  In the GSM system, there are two key parameters for determining whether a mobile user terminal that is already powered on can log in to the base station simulator: Carrier frequency and location area number (LAC) of the base station simulator's transmitted signal. The method for setting the two parameters of the base station simulator is: using the carrier frequency of any candidate channel measured by the above-mentioned proprietary device or common device as the working carrier frequency of the base station simulator, that is, the neighboring of the mobile communication base station at the current location Any carrier frequency is selected in the area table (BA) as the working carrier frequency of the base station simulator. The carrier frequency number used by the neighboring base station is marked in the neighbor list. Therefore, we can select a neighbor carrier frequency from the neighbor list as the working carrier frequency of the base station simulator. Further, the location area number (LAC) of the base station simulator is set to a number different from the location area number (LAC) of the currently-located mobile communication base station. This is the key to the realization of the method of the present invention.
对于 CDMA系统而言, 位置区编号 (LAC)可以用基站经、 纬度替代。 只要将基站模拟器上的经纬度参数设置在远离当前位置的实际经纬度即可。 另外, 也可以将基站模拟器的区域号码设置为漫游号码, 同样可以实现上述 功能。  For CDMA systems, the location area number (LAC) can be replaced by base station latitude and longitude. Just set the latitude and longitude parameters on the base station simulator to the actual latitude and longitude away from the current position. In addition, the area code of the base station emulator can also be set to the roaming number, and the above functions can also be realized.
将基站模拟器的参数设定完毕后即可进入步骤 S3。  After the parameters of the base station simulator are set, the process proceeds to step S3.
步骤 S3: 基站模拟器按照设定的参数发射信号。  Step S3: The base station simulator transmits a signal according to the set parameters.
其中, 基站模拟器按照设定的参数发射信号, 以使移动用户终端接收到 该信号后判别与一个普通的移动通信网络基站发射的信号基本相同, 同时基 站模拟器也接受相同载频上移动用户的发射信号。在基站模拟器发射的无线 电信号中, 包括广播控制信道、 业务信道等等, 在该步骤中, 基站模拟器还 可以随需要设置发射功率, 根据要输出信号的大小和距离参数调节其发射功 率大小, 例如在一相对较大范围的区域内可以将发射功率调节的相对较大, 而在一相对较小范围的区域内可以将发射功率调节的相对较小。 如果基站模 拟器本身的输出功率不足以覆盖测试区域, 也可以外接功率放大器或直放 站。 The base station simulator transmits a signal according to the set parameter, so that the mobile user terminal receives the signal and determines that the signal transmitted by the base station of an ordinary mobile communication network is substantially the same. The station simulator also accepts the transmitted signals of mobile users on the same carrier frequency. In the radio signal transmitted by the base station simulator, including a broadcast control channel, a traffic channel, etc., in this step, the base station simulator can also set the transmit power as needed, and adjust the transmit power according to the size and distance parameter of the output signal. For example, the transmit power can be adjusted relatively large in a relatively large range of regions, while the transmit power can be adjusted relatively small in a relatively small range of regions. If the output power of the base station simulator itself is not enough to cover the test area, an external power amplifier or repeater can also be used.
步骤 S4:移动用户终端接收到基站模拟器发射的信号进行信道切换并登 录到基站模拟器;  Step S4: The mobile user terminal receives the signal transmitted by the base station simulator for channel switching and logs in to the base station simulator;
步骤 S4中, 移动用户终端在待机过程中不断地对所有符合移动通信规 范的具有控制信道的移动通信载频进行扫描, 并对这些载频的状况进行评 分,评分的内容包括信号强度、信噪比等等,最后将所有评分结果进行排队。 一旦发现某一载频评分标准高于当前守候的控制信道的载频时, 移动用户终 端则自动切换到评分较高的载频, 继续在新的载频上守候基站的控制信道, 在守候过程中随时监听该载频的广播信道中的控制信道的各项参数。 由于本 发明的方法是利用基站模拟器在小范围的指定区域内测量, 即相当于在该小 范围区域内的移动终端拥有一个单独的 "移动通信基站" (即该基站模拟 器) , 则一般情况下移动用户终端对基站模拟器的移动通信载频的评分结果 (包括信号强度、 信噪比等)会高于对于实际移动通信基站的控制信道载频 的评分结果, 则该测量的小范围内的移动通信终端会自动进行信道切换, 以 切换到评分结果较高的 "移动通信基站" (即该基站模拟器) 。  In step S4, the mobile user terminal continuously scans all mobile communication carrier frequencies with control channels conforming to the mobile communication specification during the standby process, and scores the status of the carrier frequencies, including the signal strength and signal noise. Than, etc., all the ratings are finally queued. Once a carrier frequency scoring standard is found to be higher than the carrier frequency of the currently waiting control channel, the mobile user terminal automatically switches to the carrier frequency with higher scoring, and continues to wait for the control channel of the base station on the new carrier frequency during the waiting process. The parameters of the control channel in the broadcast channel of the carrier frequency are monitored at any time. Since the method of the present invention uses a base station simulator to measure in a small area of a designated area, that is, the mobile terminal in the small area has a separate "mobile communication base station" (ie, the base station simulator), In the case where the mobile user terminal's scoring result (including signal strength, signal to noise ratio, etc.) of the mobile communication carrier frequency of the base station simulator is higher than the scoring result of the control channel carrier frequency of the actual mobile communication base station, the small range of the measurement The mobile communication terminal within the network automatically performs channel switching to switch to the "mobile communication base station" (i.e., the base station simulator) with a higher scoring result.
在移动用户终端进行信道切换 (此时并没有进行登录) 后, 即登录 到该基站模拟器, 具体地, 当移动用户终端监听到当前新基站 (即该基 站模拟器)控制信道的 LAC参数与前一个守候基站的 LAC参数不同时, 移动用户终端就必须主动向该载频申请位置更新操作。 位置更新操作的 过程是: 移动用户终端发起请求, 基站模拟器分配逻辑信道, 在该逻辑 信道上移动用户终端上报自己的 TMSI (临时移动台识别码) 或者 IMSI (国际移动用户识别码) , 由于基站模拟器具有如上所述的基站控制器、 移动交换中心、 移动用户摆放位置寄存器、 移动用户归属位置寄存器、 设备管理寄存器的部分功能, 移动用户终端可以按照登录基站的一般方 式向基站模拟器登录 After the mobile user terminal performs channel switching (the login is not performed at this time), it logs in to the base station simulator, specifically, when the mobile user terminal monitors the LAC parameters of the control channel of the current new base station (ie, the base station simulator) When the LAC parameters of the previous waiting base station are different, the mobile user terminal must actively apply for the location update operation to the carrier frequency. The process of the location update operation is: the mobile user terminal initiates a request, and the base station simulator allocates a logical channel on which the mobile user terminal reports its own TMSI (Temporary Mobile Station Identifier) or IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), due to The base station simulator has the functions of the base station controller, the mobile switching center, the mobile user placement location register, the mobile user home location register, and the device management register as described above, and the mobile user terminal can follow the general prescription of the login base station. Log in to the base station simulator
移动终端向基站模拟器登录后, 即进入步骤 S5。  After the mobile terminal logs in to the base station simulator, it proceeds to step S5.
步骤 S5 : 基站模拟器确认移动用户终端存在并统计其数量。  Step S5: The base station simulator confirms that the mobile user terminal exists and counts the number thereof.
移动用户终端登录后, 基站模拟器便会依据所述 TMSI或者 IMSI来确 认移动用户终端存在并相应地统计其数量。 移动用户终端的位置更新通过 后, 所有信息还会最终返回到终端上。 这时, 该终端会认为该基站模拟器是 一个可用基站, 从而会长期守候在这个基站模拟器所在的控制信道上。 这样 就实现了移动用户终端在待机状态下也能成功登录到基站模拟器, 基站模拟 器从而可以测试出移动用户终端的存在与否并较稳定地统计出所测范围内 移动终端的使用数量, 有利于布网建设的优化。  After the mobile user terminal logs in, the base station simulator confirms the presence of the mobile user terminal according to the TMSI or IMSI and counts the number accordingly. After the location update of the mobile user terminal is passed, all information will eventually be returned to the terminal. At this time, the terminal will consider the base station simulator to be an available base station, so that it will wait on the control channel where the base station simulator is located for a long time. In this way, the mobile user terminal can successfully log in to the base station simulator in the standby state, and the base station simulator can test the presence or absence of the mobile user terminal and stably count the number of mobile terminals in the measured range. Conducive to the optimization of the construction of the network.
对 CDMA系统而言, 移动用户终端的登录过程有所不同, 它首先监测 周围各个基站载频中的导频信号, 当发现某个候选集导频的信号强度超过了 有效导频集的导频强度 +T— COMPsX 0.5dB时, CDMA移动用户终端将进行 切换操作, 然后监测到切换后的基站的 LAC (此时可以是基站经、纬度)不 同, 则会以类似方式进行登录, 从而基站模拟器根据该登录确认移动用户终 端的存在并相应地统计其数量。  For the CDMA system, the login process of the mobile user terminal is different. It first monitors the pilot signals in the carrier frequencies of the surrounding base stations, and finds that the signal strength of a certain candidate set pilot exceeds the pilot of the effective pilot set. When the strength +T-COMPsX is 0.5dB, the CDMA mobile user terminal will perform the handover operation, and then monitor the LAC of the switched base station (which may be the base station latitude and longitude), and then log in in a similar manner, so that the base station simulates Based on the login, the device confirms the presence of the mobile user terminal and counts its number accordingly.
其中关于具体的统计方式可以有多种, 基站模拟器可以外接计算机设 备。 移动用户登录到基站模拟器之后, 基站模拟器可以通过接口将用户的 IMSI号码等信息对外输出,由计算机设备进行计数,来准确获知某一指定区 域内移动用户终端的精确数量。 另外, 某些基站模拟器自身也可以完成计数 的功能, 例如其内置存储器, 将用户终端登录时所输入的信息输入至该内置 的存储器中并通过内嵌的计数程序来完成技术。  There are a variety of specific statistical methods, and the base station simulator can be connected to a computer device. After the mobile user logs in to the base station simulator, the base station simulator can output information such as the user's IMSI number through the interface, and the computer device counts it to accurately know the exact number of mobile user terminals in a specified area. In addition, some base station emulators themselves can also perform counting functions, such as their built-in memory, inputting information input when the user terminal logs in, and inputting the information into the built-in memory and completing the technique through an embedded counting program.
以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施方式, 并不构成对本发明保护范围的限 定。 任何在本发明的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、 等同替换和改进等, 均应包含在本发明的权利要求的保护范围之内。  The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute a limitation of the scope of the present invention.
