Description

Base station equipment and channel machine switching method

The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201110252536.9, entitled "Base Station Equipment and Channel Switching Method", filed on August 30, 2011, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. .

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a base station apparatus and a channel machine switching method.

Background technique

As shown in FIG. 1, in the existing trunking communication system, the base station includes a base station controller, a channel machine, a combiner, an antenna, and the like. After the modulated signals from the plurality of channel machines are combined by the combiner, they are transmitted from the antenna. In the scheme shown in FIG. 1, the modulated signals transmitted by the channel machine 1, the channel machine 2, the channel machine 3, and the channel machine 4 pass. The combiner is combined and sent out from the antenna.

For a cluster system with more than 4 channel machines, a point frequency cavity combiner is generally used for combining, and the point frequency cavity combiner includes a plurality of filters, each filter corresponding to one frequency, that is, for one filter In this case, only one frequency of the signal can pass, which requires the operating frequency of each channel machine in the trunking communication system to correspond to the frequency supported by each filter, as shown in Figure 1, the operating frequency and filtering of the channeling machine 1. The frequency supported by the device 1 is the same, the operating frequency of the channel 2 is the same as the frequency supported by the filter 2, and so on.

Generally, there is only one control channel in a trunking communication system, but there may be multiple traffic channels, which may be the operating frequency of the channel machine 1, the working frequency of the channel machine 2, or other channel machines. Working frequency, the control channel is used to carry control signaling, for example, public information sent by the base station to all mobile stations, control information required for establishing a call between the base station and the mobile station, and the like. The traffic channel is used to carry service data between the base station and the mobile station, such as voice data or media stream.

When a channel machine fails, if the operating frequency of the channel machine is a control channel, the control channel needs to be switched to another channel machine. If a traffic channel is the operating frequency of the channel machine, the traffic channel needs to be Switching to another channel machine. For example, if channel machine 1 fails, the control channel or traffic channel needs to be switched to channel machine 2. At this time, the frequency of the control channel or the traffic channel is changed, and the operating frequency of the original channel machine 1 is changed. It is the operating frequency of the channel machine 2.

The prior art has the following disadvantages: When a certain channel machine fails, the frequency of the control channel or the traffic channel needs to be changed. If the frequency of the control channel is changed, the mobile station needs to disconnect from the original network, search the network again, and then re-register, resulting in switching on the control channel. During a period of time, the base station and the mobile station cannot communicate normally; if the frequency of the traffic channel is changed, the service data carried by the traffic channel is interrupted, and the communication between the base station and the mobile station is also interrupted.
