Description

Method for switching working mode and femtocell base station

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method for switching an operating mode and a femtocell base station in the field of communications. Background technique

Femtocell is a small, low-power cellular base station, mainly used in indoor places such as homes and offices. Therefore, Femtocell is also called HomeBaseStation. ₀ Femtocell is covered indoors as a cellular network. In addition, provide users with voice and data services. The shape of Femtocell is usually similar to that of WiFi (commonly known as wireless broadband) (Access Point, called "AP"). The Femtocell can be used alone or integrated in the home gateway as part of the home network. .

The concept of Femtocell was first proposed by Ubiquisys in the United Kingdom, which stems from the lack of initial coverage of the third-generation communication technology (3rd-generation) and the challenge of WiFi technology. The focus of network construction in the early stage of 3G development is outdoor coverage, and the communication needs of users indoors are often not well met. With this new technology and terminal, mobile operators can enter the market of homes and office spaces that were originally controlled by fixed networks and WiFi networks.

Femtocell uses a network protocol (Internet Protocol, called "IP"), and the user's existing asymmetric digital subscriber loop (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, called "ADSL"), local area network (Local Area Network, A broadband circuit connection such as "LAN" is used, and the remote end is connected by a dedicated gateway from the IP network to the mobile network. Femtocells are typically similar in size to ADSL modems and feature ease of installation, automatic configuration, automatic network planning, and plug-and-play. Femtocell is suitable for Code Division Multiple Access ("CDMA"), Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System). The cartridge is called "UMTS" and other standards, and supports 2G, 2.5G, 3G products. Femtocell is in the same standard and same frequency band as other mobile base stations of the operator. Therefore, Femtocell is also versatile for mobile terminals such as mobile phones. In general, the Femtocell has a transmit power of 10 to 100 mW and a coverage radius of approximately 50 to 200 m. It can support 4 to 6 active users and allows the user to move at a maximum speed of approximately 10 km/h. At present, the industry has introduced a newer Femtocell with a lower power. The Femtocell is connected to a personal computer (Personal Computer, called "PC") using a Universal Serial Bus ("USB"). A device with broadband uplink capability. In use, the user places the phone on the Femtocell connected to the PC, and the user answers the call using the Bluetooth headset. Since the distance between the mobile phone and the Femtocell is very close, usually within 1 cm, the power of the Femtocell can reach a very low level without causing wireless interference to the surrounding carrier network. This ultra-low-power Femtocell is very advantageous for users to use when they go abroad, because the Femtocell can access the home carrier's network through the Internet, which means that users can access the home carrier's network at any time without connecting to Roaming the network of non-home operators, thus eliminating the need to pay for expensive international calls.

However, Femtocells, which are currently used for indoor coverage in homes or office areas, and ultra-low-power Femtocells used abroad are two different types of products. If the Femtocell for home use is carried abroad, the power of the Femtocell is controlled by the home network operator, so that the normal signal of the Femtocell covers the entire indoor range, which necessarily causes some interference to the surrounding local carrier network. . Since the home operator does not have the spectrum resources of the region, the use of the Femtocell poses certain legal risks. Summary of the invention

To this end, the embodiments of the present invention provide a method for switching an operation mode and a femtocell base station, and the method and the femtocell base station can freely switch the working mode of the femtocell, thereby avoiding the femtocell.
