Description

利用镜像射频单元实现分区覆盖的方法和系统  Method and system for realizing partition coverage by using mirrored radio unit
技术领域 Technical field
本发明涉及移动通信系统中基于基带单元(BBU )和射频单元(RRU ) 结构的分区覆盖技术, 尤其涉及一种利用镜像 RRU实现分区覆盖的方法和 系统。  The present invention relates to a partition coverage technique based on a baseband unit (BBU) and a radio frequency unit (RRU) structure in a mobile communication system, and more particularly to a method and system for implementing partition coverage using a mirrored RRU.
背景技术 Background technique
无线通信系统的分区覆盖是提供连续服务的一个基本要求。而由于覆盖 区域的无线信号传播特征, 以及无线系统的功放受限, 多通道的技术成为解 决分区覆盖的重要手段。  Partition coverage of wireless communication systems is a basic requirement for providing continuous services. Due to the wireless signal propagation characteristics of the coverage area and the limited power amplifier of the wireless system, multi-channel technology has become an important means of solving the coverage of the partition.
在 2000 年 12 月 20 日提出的专利号为 WO/2001/047148 的名称为 "Cellular Telecommunications Network with an OMNI Directional Transmitter Type and a Sectored Receiver Type" ( OTSR )的国际专利申请中, 公开了全 向发送扇区化接收的方法, 以增大上下行链路的覆盖区域, OTSR系统发送 现全向发送。 在 2004年 1月 16日提出的申请号为 200410001028.3的中国 专利申请 "一种有效覆盖高速公路的方法" 中, 公开了利用同一扇区的双天 线覆盖不同方向的技术以提升覆盖高速公路的性能。 而在 TD-SCDMA系统 中,一种现有的技术方案是将多通道技术与智能天线技术结合使用, 以增大 上下行链路的覆盖区域, 如图 1所示, 智能天线也被称为阵列天线, 能够自 适应地对移动用户信号进行波束赋形,跟踪用户的运动; 另一种现有技术是 将不同的天线放置在不同的楼层, 以提供室内覆盖, 如图 2所示。  An omni-directional transmission is disclosed in the international patent application entitled "Cellular Telecommunications Network with an OMNI Directional Transmitter Type and a Sectored Receiver Type" (OTSR), which is filed on December 20, 2000, with the patent number WO/2001/047148. A method of sectorized reception to increase the coverage area of the uplink and downlink, and the OTSR system transmits the omnidirectional transmission. In the Chinese Patent Application No. 200410001028.3, "A Method for Effectively Covering Expressways", which was filed on January 16, 2004, discloses the use of dual antennas of the same sector to cover different directions to improve the performance of the covered highway. . In the TD-SCDMA system, an existing technical solution is to combine the multi-channel technology with the smart antenna technology to increase the coverage area of the uplink and downlink. As shown in FIG. 1, the smart antenna is also called The array antenna is capable of adaptively beamforming the mobile user signal and tracking the motion of the user; another prior art technique is to place different antennas on different floors to provide indoor coverage, as shown in FIG.
另外, 随着设备数字信号处理能力的增强, 集中的基带信号处理成为可 能, 因此, 可以将一个基带单元(BBU )与多个射频单元(RRU )连接, 以 充分利用 BBU的处理能力。  In addition, as the digital signal processing capability of the device is enhanced, centralized baseband signal processing becomes possible. Therefore, a baseband unit (BBU) can be connected to a plurality of radio frequency units (RRUs) to fully utilize the processing capabilities of the BBU.
在 OTSR系统中,每根天线需要在基带和中频部分对应一个独立的上行 通道处理单元, 因此占用的通道数较多; 而下行方向功率均分给多天线则可 能导致信号失真, 并造成天线覆盖距离的缩短。 在常规的多通道系统中, 每 根天线均对应于独立的上下行通道处理单元;而如果采用耦合器将多天线的 模拟信号合路到一个通道处理单元中, 则不利于多天线的管理, 同时由于模 拟信号可能在传输过程中产生失真, 使得上下行的 RRU的信号覆盖距离均 会出现缩短现象, 更无法利用智能天线技术。 In the OTSR system, each antenna needs to have a separate uplink channel processing unit in the baseband and intermediate frequency parts, so the number of channels occupied is larger; and the downlink power is equally distributed to multiple antennas. Can cause signal distortion and shorten the antenna coverage distance. In a conventional multi-channel system, each antenna corresponds to a separate uplink and downlink channel processing unit; and if a coupler is used to combine multiple antenna analog signals into one channel processing unit, it is not conducive to multi-antenna management. At the same time, since the analog signal may be distorted during the transmission process, the signal coverage distance of the uplink and downlink RRUs may be shortened, and the smart antenna technology may not be utilized.
可见, 无线通信系统中分区覆盖的实现面临多方面的挑战。 一方面, 希 望覆盖范围尽可能大, 另一方面,在保证信号正常处理的情况下希望占用最 少的上下行通道处理资源。如果能够在系统的通道处理能力和天线处理能力 上实现均衡, 那么对于系统的应用和性能的提升将起到重要作用。 而在基带 处理部分与射频处理部分之间传输数字信号,将提高信号传输的可靠性和灵 活性,并减少施工的复杂度,对于采用多天线技术的无线通信系统更是如此。  It can be seen that the implementation of partition coverage in a wireless communication system faces various challenges. On the one hand, it is desirable to cover as much as possible. On the other hand, it is desirable to occupy the least amount of uplink and downlink channel processing resources while ensuring normal signal processing. If the system can achieve equalization in channel processing power and antenna processing capability, it will play an important role in system application and performance improvement. The transmission of digital signals between the baseband processing section and the RF processing section will increase the reliability and flexibility of signal transmission and reduce the complexity of the construction, especially for wireless communication systems employing multiple antenna techniques.

1. 维持了每个 RRU的覆盖半径,在容量不受限的情况下可以扩展小区 的覆盖能力, 同时减小了对 BBU处理能力的需求, 达到节省成本的目的。 相比采用功分器分区覆盖的方法具有覆盖半径方面的优势,同时上行方向不 同 RRU信号间的数字信号处理避免了合路器引入的噪声、 下行方向的数字 信号传输避免了功分器引入的噪声和衰减。  1.

Preferred embodiment of the invention
参照图 3, 描述本发明提出的利用镜像 R U实现分区覆盖的方法和系 统。  Referring to Figure 3, a method and system for implementing partition coverage using mirror R U proposed by the present invention will be described.
本文中, 主 RRU是指最远端的 RRU, 镜像 RRU是指在上行方向级联 到主 RRU上或另一镜像 RRU上的各个 RRU。  In this document, the primary RRU refers to the most remote RRU, and the mirrored RRU refers to each RRU that is cascaded in the uplink direction to the primary RRU or to another mirrored RRU.
在下行链路方向, BBU向级联的各 RRU分别传输一路下行数字信号, 每个 RRU独立获取并将该下行数字信号转换为模拟信号并通过天线发送到 相应的覆盖区域。 在此, 主 RRU和各个镜像 RRU从 BBU传输而来的同一 信号中获 目同的下行数据。  In the downlink direction, the BBU transmits a downlink digital signal to each of the cascaded RRUs, and each RRU independently acquires and converts the downlink digital signal into an analog signal and transmits it to the corresponding coverage area through the antenna. Here, the primary RRU and each mirrored RRU obtain the same downlink data from the same signal transmitted from the BBU.
在上行链路方向, 每一个级联的镜像 RRU将天线从相应覆盖区域接收 的信号由模拟信号转换为数字信号, 将上一级 R U传送来的数字信号与本 地采样得到的数字信号进行叠加并向下一级传输, 最后传输到 BBU进行统 一处理, 在此仅有一路上行数字信号向 BBU传输。 在这里, 叠加可以采用 饱和叠加的方式, 即判断上一级 RRU传输来的数字信号与本地采样得到的 数字信号加起来之后是否超过最大阔值, 如果超过则叠加结果为该最大阔 值, 如果没有超过则叠加结果为数字信号实际的和。 由于是数字信号叠加, 所以在上下行方向数据传输的带宽均与 RRU个数无关。  In the uplink direction, each cascaded mirrored RRU converts the signal received by the antenna from the corresponding coverage area into an analog signal, and superimposes the digital signal transmitted by the upper stage RU with the locally sampled digital signal. The next level of transmission, and finally transmitted to the BBU for unified processing, where only one uplink digital signal is transmitted to the BBU. Here, the superposition may adopt a saturated superposition method, that is, whether the digital signal transmitted from the upper RRU and the locally sampled digital signal are added to exceed the maximum threshold value, and if the superposition is exceeded, the superposition result is the maximum threshold value, if If there is no more than the superimposed result is the actual sum of the digital signals. Since the digital signals are superimposed, the bandwidth of the data transmission in the uplink and downlink directions is independent of the number of RRUs.
对于各个 R U上采用多个天线的情况,各 RRU连接的每根天线可以实 现独立的功率校准, 镜像 RRU技术也可以与传统多通道技术结合使用, 此 时, 各 RRU实现独立的天线校正, 以利于智能天线的应用。 镜像 RRU技术 与多通道技术结合后的方案如下:  For multiple antennas on each RU, each antenna connected to each RRU can achieve independent power calibration. The mirrored RRU technology can also be used in combination with traditional multi-channel technology. At this time, each RRU implements independent antenna correction. Conducive to the application of smart antennas. The solution of mirroring RRU technology combined with multi-channel technology is as follows:
在下行链路方向, BBU将来自其各个信号通道的下行数字信号向级联 的 RRU传输,每个 RRU独立将该下行数字信号转换为模拟信号并通过与各 个信号通道对应的各天线分别发送到相应的覆盖区域。在上行链路方向,每 个级联的 RRU将多个天线从相应覆盖区域接收的信号在对应的各个信号通 道上进行模数转换, 与上一级 R U传送来的数字信号按照各个信号通道的 标识进行对位叠加并向下一级传送, 直到最后一级镜像 R U将对位叠加后 的数字信号传输到 BBU中各个对应的信号通道进行基带处理。 In the downlink direction, the BBU transmits downlink digital signals from its respective signal channels to the cascaded RRUs, and each RRU independently converts the downlink digital signals into analog signals and passes each The antennas corresponding to the signal channels are respectively sent to the corresponding coverage areas. In the uplink direction, each cascaded RRU performs analog-to-digital conversion on signals corresponding to the plurality of antennas from the respective coverage areas, and the digital signals transmitted from the upper-level RUs are in accordance with the respective signal channels. The identifier is superimposed and transferred to the next stage until the last stage mirror RU transmits the digital signal after the bit superposition to each corresponding signal channel in the BBU for baseband processing.
在镜像 RRU技术与多通道技术结合的方案中, 数字信号是由各个信号 通道上的分路信号组成的,对每一条分路信号的处理如同对上述一路信号的 处理,所以每个 RRU本地采样得到的数字信号与上一级 R U传送来的数字 信号按照通道号进行对位叠加, 即通道 N的采样信号与上一级传输来的通 道 N信号进行叠加, 叠加方式可以采用饱和叠加。 叠加方式还可以是非饱 和叠加, 但非饱和叠加复杂度较低, 适用于信号叠加是非饱和的情况。 这种 对位叠加有利于智能天线的使用,但会引入一定的上行噪声,这会放大用户 所在 RRU覆盖区域的热噪声从而对系统的容量产生一定的负面影响, 但引 入的干扰源相对较少, 因此适用于容量不受限的场合。  In the solution combining the mirror RRU technology and the multi-channel technology, the digital signals are composed of the split signals on the respective signal channels, and the processing of each of the split signals is treated as the processing of the above one signal, so each RRU is locally sampled. The obtained digital signal is superposed with the digital signal transmitted by the upper-level RU according to the channel number, that is, the sampling signal of the channel N is superimposed with the channel N signal transmitted by the previous stage, and the superposition method may adopt a saturated superposition. The superposition method can also be an unsaturated superposition, but the unsaturated superposition complexity is low, which is suitable for the case where the signal superposition is unsaturated. This alignment is beneficial to the use of smart antennas, but introduces certain uplink noise, which amplifies the thermal noise of the RRU coverage area of the user and has a certain negative impact on the system capacity, but introduces relatively few interference sources. Therefore, it is suitable for applications where capacity is not limited.
上述可进行独立维护的 RRU中,在上行方向,每个 RRU均包括天线单 元和上行信号转换单元,每个镜像 RRU还包括数字合成单元; 在下行方向, 每个 RRU均包括下行信号转换单元。 其中: In the RRU that can be independently maintained, in the uplink direction, each RRU includes an antenna unit and an uplink signal conversion unit, and each of the mirrored RRUs further includes a digital synthesis unit. In the downlink direction, each RRU includes a downlink signal conversion unit. among them:
每个 RRU上的天线单元, 用于将下行信号转换单元输出的下行信号在 相应覆盖区域内发送,以及接收相应覆盖区域内的上行信号并输出到上行信 号转换单元, 由一个或多个天线組成;  The antenna unit on each RRU is configured to send the downlink signal outputted by the downlink signal conversion unit in the corresponding coverage area, and receive the uplink signal in the corresponding coverage area and output to the uplink signal conversion unit, which is composed of one or more antennas. ;
每个 RRU上的上行信号转换单元, 用于将天线单元接收的上行信号从 模拟信号转换为数字信号, 该上行信号转换单元可以由模数转换器(A/D转 换器)组成, A/D转换器的数目与信号通道的个数相等;  An uplink signal conversion unit on each RRU is configured to convert an uplink signal received by the antenna unit from an analog signal to a digital signal, and the uplink signal conversion unit may be composed of an analog-to-digital converter (A/D converter), A/D The number of converters is equal to the number of signal channels;

本发明所述利用镜像 RRU实现分区覆盖的方案可以满足网络对小区覆 盖以及一些特殊场景的需求。 下面,通过三个实施例进一步详细说明本发明 的技术特征和功能特色。 实施例 1 为本发明的技术方案应用于一个小区覆盖多个区域以降低建 网成本的场景, 如图 4所示。 N个独立区域的天线分别接入各自 RRU。 The scheme for realizing the partition coverage by using the mirror RRU can meet the network coverage of the cell and some special scenarios. In the following, the technical features and functional features of the present invention will be further described in detail through three embodiments. Embodiment 1 is a scenario in which the technical solution of the present invention is applied to a cell covering multiple areas to reduce the network construction cost, as shown in FIG. 4 . The antennas of the N independent areas are respectively connected to the respective RRUs.
下行方向, BBU将需要发送的基带数字域信号传输到 RRU, 向 N个 In the downstream direction, the BBU transmits the baseband digital domain signal that needs to be transmitted to the RRU, to N
RRU发送的信号完全相同; 上行方向, RRU独立处理天线的接收信号, 输 出基带数字域信号,镜像 RRU将上一级 RRU传输而来的信号与本地采样信 号按照信号通道的标识进行数字叠加, 最后由 BBU对叠加后的信号进行基 带处理。 The signal sent by the RRU is exactly the same; in the uplink direction, the RRU processes the received signal of the antenna independently, and outputs the baseband digital domain signal. The mirrored RRU digitally superimposes the signal transmitted by the previous RRU and the local sampled signal according to the identifier of the signal channel. The superimposed signal is subjected to baseband processing by the BBU.
与此同时, RRU独立在所属覆盖区内进行功率校准, 这样一个小区即 可以覆盖 N个不同的覆盖区, 从而达到广覆盖的目的, 也减少了对 BBU处 理能力的需求,节约了建网成本。如果网络要扩容,则将 RRU (包括主 RRU 和镜像 RRU )直接输出信号给 BBU, 即中间不进行信号叠加, 形成多小区 的信号, 相应的基带需要对多路信号进行分别处理, 同时适当增加 BBU和 RRU间的传输带宽。 这样隶属于同一小区的 N个不同覆盖区即可分裂成 N 个或者 N个以下不同的小区,达到了提高网络容量的目的。 因此,镜像 RRU 技术具有良好的扩容性。  At the same time, the RRU independently performs power calibration in the coverage area, so that one cell can cover N different coverage areas, thereby achieving wide coverage, reducing the need for BBU processing capability, and saving network construction cost. . If the network is to be expanded, the RRU (including the primary RRU and the mirrored RRU) directly outputs signals to the BBU, that is, no signal superposition is performed in the middle to form a multi-cell signal, and the corresponding baseband needs to separately process the multiple signals, and appropriately increase Transmission bandwidth between the BBU and the RRU. In this way, N different coverage areas belonging to the same cell can be split into N or N different cells, thereby achieving the purpose of improving network capacity. Therefore, the mirrored RRU technology has good scalability.
实施例 2为本发明的技术方案应用于高速公路覆盖的场景,如图 5所示。 以 TD-SCDMA技术为例, 假设每组包括 M根天线的两组线形阵智能天线, 分别朝向高速公路的两个方向, 每组智能天线分别连接到一个 RRU。 Embodiment 2 is a scenario in which the technical solution of the present invention is applied to highway coverage, as shown in FIG. Taking TD-SCDMA technology as an example, it is assumed that each group consists of two sets of linear array smart antennas including M antennas, which are respectively oriented in two directions of the highway, and each set of smart antennas is respectively connected to one RRU.
在此类应用中, 包括两组或多組的智能天线时, 各组天线的朝向不同。 天线本身的朝向对应于不同的覆盖区域,但由于有定向赋形,信号可以随着 权值改变方向。朝向不同的方向在本盾上是为了扩大覆盖区, 同时能够实现 同时向交叠区域赋形的效果。 In such applications, when two or more sets of smart antennas are included, the orientation of each set of antennas is different. The orientation of the antenna itself corresponds to different coverage areas, but due to the directional shaping, the signal can follow The weight changes direction. In the different directions, the shield is used to enlarge the coverage area, and at the same time, the effect of simultaneously forming the overlapping area can be achieved.
与现有的 RRU功能相同的是, RRU分别对各自的智能天线进行功率校 准和天线校正。 与现有 RRU功能不同的是: 下行方向, BBU输出的数字基 带信号, 同时传输给级联的 RRU, 两个 RRU获取相同的基带信号, 并进行 后续下行信号处理; 上行方向, 每个 RRU对 M根天线上接收到的信号在对 应的 M个信号通道中进行独立处理, 并采样得到 M根天线的基带数据, 镜 像 RRU将上一级 RRU传输而来的数字信号与本地采样信号按照信号通道的 标识进行对位叠加, 并传给下一级 RRU, 最终由 BBU进行 M通道的基带 信号处理, 包括智能天线相关的处理, M大于等于 1。 假设每组智能天线有 M根天线, 上述对位叠加就是指, 第一组智能天线天线的第一根天线的信号 和第二组智能天线的第一根天线的信号叠加,或者说, 最后基带得到的信号 的第一通道是所有智能天线第一根天线的信号之和、第二通道为所有智能天 线的第二根天线的信号之和, 以此类推。 从图 5中可以看出, M ^L天线组成的智能天线阵, 由于 RRU通道输入 的数据完全相同, 使得两组下行波束赋形完全相同, 即镜像波束赋形。 当用 户通过两个扇区的交接处时 , 两组波束的主波束朝向相同的位置(即用户所 在的位置), 此位置是两组智能天线覆盖的边缘, 信号质量较差, 所以两组 天线同时对这个位置赋形, 加强信号盾量, 从而减少交叠区域的掉话。 由于 两个扇区同属一个小区, 用户未发生小区切换,避免了用户运动速度太快造 成用来切换的时间不够从而导致掉话率的问题。该技术方案同样适用于高速 铁路的覆盖。  Similar to the existing RRU function, the RRU performs power calibration and antenna correction on the respective smart antennas. Different from the existing RRU function: In the downlink direction, the digital baseband signal output by the BBU is simultaneously transmitted to the cascaded RRU, and the two RRUs acquire the same baseband signal and perform subsequent downlink signal processing; in the uplink direction, each RRU pair The signals received on the M antennas are independently processed in the corresponding M signal channels, and the baseband data of the M antennas are sampled, and the mirrored RRUs transmit the digital signals and the local sampled signals transmitted by the upper RRU according to the signal channels. The identifier is superimposed and transmitted to the next-level RRU, and finally the B-band performs the baseband signal processing of the M-channel, including the processing related to the smart antenna, and M is greater than or equal to 1. Assuming that each set of smart antennas has M antennas, the above-mentioned alignment superposition means that the signals of the first antenna of the first set of smart antenna antennas and the signals of the first antenna of the second set of smart antennas are superimposed, or, finally, the baseband The first channel of the resulting signal is the sum of the signals of the first antennas of all smart antennas, the second channel is the sum of the signals of the second antennas of all smart antennas, and so on. It can be seen from Fig. 5 that the smart antenna array composed of M ^ L antennas has the same data input from the RRU channel, so that the two sets of downlink beams are exactly the same, that is, the mirror beam is shaped. When the user passes through the intersection of two sectors, the main beams of the two sets of beams face the same position (ie, the position where the user is located), which is the edge covered by the two sets of smart antennas, and the signal quality is poor, so the two sets of antennas At the same time, the position is shaped to enhance the signal shield, thereby reducing the dropped calls in the overlapping area. Since the two sectors belong to the same cell, the user does not have a cell handover, which avoids the problem that the user moves too fast, resulting in insufficient time for switching, resulting in call drop rate. This technical solution is also applicable to the coverage of high-speed railways.
实施例 3为本发明的技术方案应用于室内覆盖的场景, 如图 6所示。 以 WCDMA技术为例,假设每根天线分别对不同的区域进行覆盖,每才艮天线分 别连接到一个 RRU。 Embodiment 3 is a scenario in which the technical solution of the present invention is applied to indoor coverage, as shown in FIG. 6. Taking WCDMA technology as an example, it is assumed that each antenna covers different areas separately, and each antenna is connected to one RRU.
下行方向, BBU输出的数字基带信号, 传输给所有级联的 RRU, 每个 RRU均获取相同的基带信号, 并进行后续下行信号处理; 上行方向, 每个 RRU对天线上接收到信号独立处理, 并采样得到天线口基带数据, 然后将 上一个 R U传送来的数据与本地天线采样数据进行饱和叠加, 并传递给下 一个 RRU, 最后一级 RRU将叠加后的数据传送到 BBU进行基带处理。 In the downlink direction, the digital baseband signal output by the BBU is transmitted to all the cascaded RRUs, and each RRU acquires the same baseband signal and performs subsequent downlink signal processing; in the uplink direction, each RRU receives the signal independently on the antenna, And sample the antenna baseband data, and then The data transmitted by the previous RU is saturated and superimposed with the local antenna sample data, and transmitted to the next RRU. The last stage RRU transfers the superimposed data to the BBU for baseband processing.
由此可见, 在多个不相关区域采用镜像 R U技术, 可以得到同一小区 的多个覆盖分区, 满足网络对覆盖的需求, 并降低对基带处理单元处理能力 的需要, 降低了建网成本。 另外, 镜像 RRU也适用于一些特殊的组网场景, 如应用于高速公路 /铁路覆盖场景以减少切换的掉话、 应用于室内覆盖场景 以便用较少的 BBU通道数来支持更多的覆盖区域等。 It can be seen that the mirrored R U technology is used in multiple unrelated areas to obtain multiple coverage zones of the same cell, which meets the network coverage requirements, reduces the need for processing power of the baseband processing unit, and reduces the network construction cost. In addition, the mirrored RRU is also applicable to some special networking scenarios, such as applying to highway/railway coverage scenarios to reduce dropped call drops, and applying to indoor coverage scenarios to support more coverage areas with fewer BBU channels. Wait.
