Description

天线功能扩展装置、设备和对天线进行功能扩展的方法
本申请要求于2014年09月03日提交中国专利局、申请号为201410446084.1、发明名称为“天线功能扩展装置、设备和对天线进行功能扩展的方法”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域，特别涉及一种天线功能扩展装置、设备和对天线进行功能扩展的方法。
背景技术
RAE(Remote Antenna Extension，远程天线扩展)功能作为一种基于AISG(Antenna Interface Standards Group，天线接口标准组织)标准的新功能，用来对智能天线进行信息化管理。其中，信息化管理包括权值管理和工勘参数管理。在对智能天线进行信息化管理时，基站可以通过标准的AISG接口向具备RAE功能的设备索取特定的权值数据和智能天线的工勘参数。之后，基站可以根据该权值数据对智能天线的波束进行赋形，从而实现对天线波束的垂直宽度、水平宽度、垂直指向和水平指向进行多维调整。此外，基站还可将包括智能天线的地理位置、高度、机械倾角、机械方位角等的工勘参数呈现给用户。由于在推出RAE功能之前，已经在网的智能天线不具备RAE功能，因此亟需一种对智能天线进行功能扩展的方法。
现有技术在进行智能天线功能扩展时，通常采取两种方式。第一种方式，对已经在网且不具备RAE功能的智能天线进行更换或改造。第二种方式，增加一个基于AISG标准的外置RAE模块，利用该外置RAE模块对在网且不具备RAE功能的智能天线进行功能扩展。该外置RAE模块在获取智能天线的权 值数据时，需要人工手动配置智能天线的相关信息，比如天线型号信息等。进而该外置RAE模块根据人工配置的相关信息获取智能天线的权值数据。

具体实施方式
为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合附图对本发明实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
图1是本发明实施例提供的一种天线功能扩展装置。以天线识别单元为RFID单元为例，参见图1，该装置包括：
控制单元101、存储单元102、天线识别单元103、调制解调单元104、电源单元105、外设连接单元106、RF通道107、第一收发单元108、第二收发单元109。
其中，控制单元101分别与存储单元102、天线识别单元103、外设连接单元106及调制解调单元104连接；第一收发单元108与天线识别单元103连接；第二收发单元109分别与调制解调单元104、电源单元105及外设连接单元106连接；第一收发单元108及第二收发单元109分别位于RF通道107的两端。
在本发明实施例中，控制单元101为天线功能扩展装置的控制核心，通常为MCU(Micro Control Unit，微控制单元)，用于在存储单元102存储的权值数据库中，选取与天线的特征识别信息相匹配的权值数据。存储单元102的存储容量较大，用于存储天线的权值数据库及其他天线信息。其中，存储单元102的存储容量可为8G或16G等等，本发明实施例对此不作具体限定。天线的权值数据库中包括天线的特征识别信息与天线权值的对应关系。天线权值指代天线各端口所施加的特定激励信号的量化表示。而天线端口施加特定激励的目的是为了得到具有特定覆盖效果的方向图。天线权值可以表示为幅度/相位方式。幅度一般用归一化的电压值|Ui|或电流值|Ii|表示(也可以用归一化的功率表 示)，相位用角度表示。天线的特征识别信息可指代天线的型号信息，本发明实施例对特征识别信息的类型不进行具体限定。其他天线信息包括天线的方向图信息等等，本发明实施例对其他天线信息的类型同样不作具体限定。
其中，天线识别单元103，用于读取智能天线的RFID标签，得到形如天线型号信息的天线特征识别信息。调制解调单元104，用于将基站发送的AISG信号在OOK和RS485两种形态之间进行转换。电源单元105，用于接收基站提供的直流供电信号，为天线功能扩展装置供电。

本发明实施例提供的装置，在引入了RFID单元和外设连接单元等后，可获取到天线的特征识别信息，进而根据该特征识别信息得到天线的权值数据，所以扩展了对天线进行权值管理的功能，且还可得到天线的工勘参数，扩展了工参测量功能。不但扩展成本较低且工程难度较小，功能扩展效率高，而且便于基站根据权值数据和工勘参数对天线进行管理。
参见图2，其中天线功能扩展设备对应于图1中的天线功能扩展装置。以天线识别器为RFID读卡器为例，则该设备包括控制器、存储器、RFID读卡器、 调制解调器、电源、天线接口标准组织AISG接口、RF通道、第一收发器、第二收发器；
其中，第一收发器包括一个与天线的校准口连接的ANT(Antenna，天线)端口和一个BT模块。第二收发器包括一个与来自于RRU的RF线缆连接的BTS(Base Transceiver Station，基站收发信台)端口和一个BT模块。控制器为一个芯片级的微型计算机，其自身包括有一个容量较小的存储器。在基站的RRU通过RF线缆向天线功能扩展设备的电源提供直流供电信号后，天线功能扩展设备启动并进行软硬件初始化。RF通道连接了两个BT模块，使两个BT模块之间可进行通信传输。
在初始化完毕后，控制器触发RFID读卡器进行读卡操作，通过ANT端口从天线上的RFID标签获取形如天线型号信息的天线特征识别信息，并存储于控制器自身的存储介质中。如果RFID读卡器读取不到天线的特征识别信息，则可通过与AISG接口连接的条码扫描器或PCU等外设设备获取天线的特征识别信息，并存储于控制器自身的存储介质中。之后，控制器根据内部存储介质存储的天线特征识别信息，在存储器存储的权值数据库中进行遍历查找，得到与该天线特征识别信息对应的权值数据。之后，通过AISG接口和BTS端口将该权值数据发送至基站，使基站根据该权值数据对天线波束进行赋形。
本发明实施例提供的设备，在引入了RFID读卡器和AISG接口等后，可获取到天线的特征识别信息，进而根据该特征识别信息得到天线的权值数据，所以扩展了对天线进行权值管理的功能，且还可得到天线的工勘参数，扩展了工参测量功能。不但扩展成本较低且工程难度较小，功能扩展效率高，而且便于基站根据权值数据和工勘参数对天线进行管理。
参见图3，以天线识别器为RFID读卡器为例，天线功能扩展设备的ANT端口与天线的校准口相连接，也即，天线功能扩展设备安装在天线的校准口上。天线功能扩展设备的BTS端口通过RF线缆与基站的RRU连接。由于智能天 线中包括了标准板，也即天线上设置有RFID标签，所以通过RFID读卡器可直接获取到天线的特征识别信息。
在基站的RRU通过RF线缆向天线功能扩展设备的电源提供直流供电信号后，天线功能扩展设备启动并进行软硬件初始化。在初始化完毕后，控制器触发RFID读卡器进行读卡操作，通过ANT端口从天线上的RFID标签获取形如天线型号信息的天线特征识别信息，并存储于控制器自身的存储介质中。之后，控制器根据内部存储介质存储的天线特征识别信息，在存储器存储的权值数据库中进行遍历查找，得到与该天线特征识别信息对应的权值数据。之后，通过AISG接口和BTS端口将该权值数据发送至基站，使基站根据该权值数据对天线波束进行赋形。
此外，天线功能扩展设备通过AISG接口可连接ASD，用于获取智能天线的工勘参数。在本发明实施例中，可以将ASD作为天线功能扩展设备的一个从属设备，由天线功能扩展设备直接对ASD进行管理，并从ASD获取天线的工勘参数，而不将其呈现给基站。还可以将天线的工勘参数与天线的权值数据一起呈现给基站，本发明实施例对此不作具体限定。此外，也可以把ASD当做一个独立的ALD设备，以级联的方式对其进行AISG通信透传，即在ASD和基站之间进行AISG消息的转发，由基站对ASD进行管理。
本发明实施例提供的设备，在引入了RFID读卡器和AISG接口等后，可获取到天线的特征识别信息，进而根据该特征识别信息得到天线的权值数据，所以扩展了对天线进行权值管理的功能，且还可得到天线的工勘参数，扩展了工参测量功能。不但扩展成本较低且工程难度较小，功能扩展效率高，而且便于基站根据权值数据和工勘参数对天线进行管理。
参见图4，以天线识别器为RFID读卡器为例，天线功能扩展设备的ANT端口与天线的校准口相连接，也即，天线功能扩展设备安装在天线的校准口上。天线功能扩展设备的BTS端口通过RF线缆与基站的RRU连接。由于智能天 线中未包括标准板，也即天线上未设置有RFID标签，所以通过RFID读卡器不可直接获取到天线的特征识别信息，因此通过AISG接口连接了条码扫描器。
其中，条码扫描器可扫描智能天线的条码。而智能天线在出厂之前厂家为智能天线均设置了条码，通过该条码可获取到形如天线型号信息等天线基本信息。
在本发明实施例中，在基站的RRU通过RF线缆向天线功能扩展设备的电源提供直流供电信号后，天线功能扩展设备启动并进行软硬件初始化。在初始化完毕后，控制器触发RFID读卡器进行读卡操作，由于天线未包括RFID标签，所以RFID读卡器读取不到任何信息。因此通过条码扫描器扫描天线的条码，得到扫描结果，该扫描结果中至少包括天线的型号信息。控制器在通过AISG接口接收到扫描结果后，从扫描结果中提取天线的型号信息，并将天线的型号信息存储于控制器自身的存储介质中。之后，控制器根据内部存储介质存储的天线型号信息，在存储器存储的权值数据库中进行遍历查找，得到与该天线的型号信息对应的权值数据。之后，通过AISG接口和BTS端口将该权值数据发送至基站，使基站根据该权值数据对天线波束进行赋形。
此外，天线功能扩展设备通过AISG接口可连接ASD，用于获取智能天线的工勘参数。在本发明实施例中，可以将ASD作为天线功能扩展设备的一个从属设备，由天线功能扩展设备直接对ASD进行管理，并从ASD获取天线的工勘参数，而不将其呈现给基站。还可以将天线的工勘参数与天线的权值数据一起呈现给基站，本发明实施例对此不作具体限定。此外，也可以把ASD当做一个独立的ALD设备，以级联的方式对其进行AISG通信透传，即在ASD和基站之间进行AISG消息的转发，由基站对ASD进行管理。
本发明实施例提供的设备，在引入了RFID读卡器和AISG接口等后，可获取到天线的特征识别信息，进而根据该特征识别信息得到天线的权值数据，所以扩展了对天线进行权值管理的功能，且还可得到天线的工勘参数，扩展了工参测量功能。不但扩展成本较低且工程难度较小，功能扩展效率高，而且便 于基站根据权值数据和工勘参数对天线进行管理。
参见图5，以天线识别器为RFID读卡器为例，天线功能扩展设备的ANT端口与天线的校准口相连接，也即，天线功能扩展设备安装在天线的校准口上。天线功能扩展设备的BTS端口通过RF线缆与基站的RRU连接。由于智能天线中未包括标准板，也即天线上未设置有RFID标签，所以通过RFID读卡器不可直接获取到天线的特征识别信息，因此通过AISG接口连接了PCU。
其中，其中PCU为近端配置工具。支持用户直接输入智能天线的相关信息。该相关信息包括但不限于天线的型号信息或天线的方向图文件等等。
在本发明实施例中，在基站的RRU通过RF线缆向天线功能扩展设备的电源提供直流供电信号后，天线功能扩展设备启动并进行软硬件初始化。在初始化完毕后，控制器触发RFID读卡器进行读卡操作，由于天线未包括RFID标签，所以RFID读卡器读取不到任何信息。因此通过PCU来获取天线的型号信息。控制器在通过AISG接口接收到天线的型号信息后，将天线的型号信息存储于控制器自身的存储介质中。之后，控制器根据内部存储介质存储的天线型号信息，在存储器存储的权值数据库中进行遍历查找，得到与该天线的型号信息对应的权值数据。之后，通过AISG接口和BTS端口将该权值数据发送至基站，使基站根据该权值数据对天线波束进行赋形。
此外，天线功能扩展设备通过AISG接口可连接ASD，用于获取智能天线的工勘参数。在本发明实施例中，可以将ASD作为天线功能扩展设备的一个从属设备，由天线功能扩展设备直接对ASD进行管理，并从ASD获取天线的工勘参数，而不将其呈现给基站。还可以将天线的工勘参数与天线的权值数据一起呈现给基站，本发明实施例对此不作具体限定。此外，也可以把ASD当做一个独立的ALD设备，以级联的方式对其进行AISG通信透传，即在ASD和基站之间进行AISG消息的转发，由基站对ASD进行管理。
本发明实施例提供的设备，在引入了RFID读卡器和AISG接口等后，可 获取到天线的特征识别信息，进而根据该特征识别信息得到天线的权值数据，所以扩展了对天线进行权值管理的功能，且还可得到天线的工勘参数，扩展了工参测量功能。不但扩展成本较低且工程难度较小，功能扩展效率高，而且便于基站根据权值数据和工勘参数对天线进行管理。
参见图6，以天线识别器为RFID读卡器为例，天线功能扩展设备的ANT端口与天线的校准口相连接，也即，天线功能扩展设备安装在天线的校准口上。天线功能扩展设备的BTS端口通过RF线缆与基站的RRU连接。由于智能天线中包括了标准板，也即天线上设置有RFID标签，所以通过RFID读卡器可直接获取到天线的特征识别信息。
在基站的RRU通过RF线缆向天线功能扩展设备的电源提供直流供电信号后，天线功能扩展设备启动并进行软硬件初始化。在初始化完毕后，控制器触发RFID读卡器进行读卡操作，通过ANT端口从天线上的RFID标签获取形如天线型号信息的天线特征识别信息，并存储于控制器自身的存储介质中。之后，控制器根据内部存储介质存储的天线特征识别信息，在存储器存储的权值数据库中进行遍历查找，得到与该天线特征识别信息对应的权值数据。之后，通过AISG接口和BTS端口将该权值数据发送至基站，使基站根据该权值数据对天线波束进行赋形。
此外，天线功能扩展设备通过AISG接口可连接除ASD之外的其他ALD。天线功能扩展设备可以级联的方式对其进行AISG通信透传，即在ALD和基站之间进行AISG消息的转发，由基站对ALD进行管理。
本发明实施例提供的设备，在引入了RFID读卡器和AISG接口等后，可获取到天线的特征识别信息，进而根据该特征识别信息得到天线的权值数据，所以扩展了对天线进行权值管理的功能，且还可得到天线的工勘参数，扩展了工参测量功能。不但扩展成本较低且工程难度较小，功能扩展效率高，而且便于基站根据权值数据和工勘参数对天线进行管理。
参见图7，其中天线功能扩展设备对应于图1中的天线功能扩展装置。以天线识别器为电流检测电路为例，则该设备包括控制器、存储器、电线检测电路、调制解调器、电源、天线接口标准组织AISG接口、RF通道、第一收发器、第二收发器。
其中，第一收发器包括一个与天线的校准口连接的ANT端口和一个BT模块。第二收发器包括一个与来自于RRU的RF线缆连接的BTS端口和一个BT模块。控制器为一个芯片级的微型计算机，其自身包括有一个容量较小的存储器。在基站的RRU通过RF线缆向天线功能扩展设备的电源提供直流供电信号后，天线功能扩展设备启动并进行软硬件初始化。在天线功能扩展设备的软硬件初始化完毕后，控制器将基站的RRU通过RF线缆提供的直流供电信号同样分配给电流检测电路，以为电流检测电路供电。RF通道连接了两个BT模块，使两个BT模块之间可进行通信传输。
在初始化完毕后，控制器触发电流检测电路通过与天线连接的ANT端口进行电流检测操作，并根据检测到的电流值计算天线内部识别电阻R的电阻值，将该电阻值存储于控制器自身的存储介质中。之后，控制器根据内部存储介质存储的电阻值，在存储器存储的电阻值与天线型号的对应关系表中进行遍历查找，得到与该电阻值对应的天线特征识别信息。该天线特征识别信息可为天线的型号信息，本发明实施例对此不作具体限定。
接下来，控制器根据内部存储介质存储的天线特征识别信息，在存储器存储的权值数据库中进行遍历查找，便可得到与该天线特征识别信息对应的权值数据，并通过AISG接口和BTS端口将该权值数据发送至基站，使基站根据该权值数据对天线波束进行赋形。
需要说明的是，在本发明实施例中，天线功能扩展设备的存储器中不但存储了权值数据库，还存储了电阻值与天线特征识别信息的对应关系表，从而便于根据天线的电阻值确定形如天线型号信息的天线特征识别信息。在本发明实 施例中，基于天线内部的不同，天线功能扩展设备也存在不同的变化。比如，当天线内部包括RFID标签时，天线功能扩展设备无需连接任何外设设备(比如，条码扫描器或PCU)，通过内置的RFID读卡器获取到形如天线型号信息的天线特征识别信息。此时，存储器中仅包括权值数据库。当天线内部包括识别电阻而不包括RFID标签时，天线功能扩展设备同样无需连接任何外设设备，通过内置的电流检测电路间接获取到天线特征识别信息。此时，存储器中不但包括权值数据库，还包括电阻值与天线特征识别信息的对应关系表。当天线内部既不包括RFID标签也不包括识别电阻时，还可通过与AISG接口连接的条码扫描器或PCU来获取到天线特征识别信息。
本发明实施例提供的设备，在引入了天线识别器和AISG接口等后，可获取到天线的特征识别信息，进而根据该特征识别信息得到天线的权值数据，所以扩展了对天线进行权值管理的功能，且还可得到天线的工勘参数，扩展了工参测量功能。不但扩展成本较低且工程难度较小，功能扩展效率高，而且便于基站根据权值数据和工勘参数对天线进行管理。
图8是本发明实施例提供的一种对天线进行功能扩展的方法，该方法应用于天线功能扩展设备，天线功能扩展设备包括控制单元、存储单元、天线识别单元、调制解调单元、电源单元、外设连接单元、RF通道、第一收发单元、第二收发单元。参见图8，本发明实施例提供的方法，包括：
801、当检测到电源单元处于上电状态后，触发天线识别单元通过第一收发单元读取天线的RFID标签，得到天线的特征识别信息。
其中，天线的特征识别信息可为天线的型号信息，本发明实施例对特征识别信息的类型不进行具体限定。天线识别单元既可为RFID单元，也可为电流检测单元，本发明实施例对天线识别单元的类型不进行具体限定。可根据天线的内部结构而定。当天线内部包括RFID标签时，天线识别单元可为RFID单元；当天线内部包括识别电阻时，天线识别单元可为电流检测单元。
802、将特征识别信息进行存储，并在存储单元存储的权值数据库中，选取与特征识别信息相匹配的权值数据。
其中，权值数据库中包括了各种型号天线对应的权值数据。天线权值指代天线各端口所施加的特定激励信号的量化表示。而天线端口施加特定激励的目的是为了得到具有特定覆盖效果的方向图。天线权值可以表示为幅度/相位方式。幅度一般用归一化的电压值|Ui|或电流值|Ii|表示(也可以用归一化的功率表示)，相位用角度表示。
803、当接收到调制解调单元发送的经过调制转换后的AISG信号后，通过外设连接单元和第二收发单元，将权值数据发送至基站。
其中，调制解调单元用于将基站的RRU发送过来的AISG信号在OOK和RS485两种形态之间转换。
在本发明实施例中，在通过外设连接单元和第二收发单元将权值数据发送至基站后，基站便可根据该权值数据对天线波束进行赋形。
可选地，该方法还包括：
当天线识别单元未读取到天线的RFID标签时，通过外设连接单元接收条码扫描器发送的扫描结果；从扫描结果中提取天线的特征识别信息；其中，条码扫描器与外设连接单元连接，条码扫描器用于对天线的条码进行扫描。
针对该种情况，由于智能天线上未设置RFID标签，所以读取不到天线的RFID标签。因此，可通过与外设连接单元连接的条码扫描器扫描天线的条码，进而获取到形如天线型号信息的天线特征识别信息。
可选地，该方法还包括：
当天线识别单元未读取到天线的RFID标签时，通过外设连接单元接收便携式主控单元PCU的输入结果；从输入结果中提取天线的特征识别信息；其中，PCU与外设连接单元连接，PCU用于接收输入的天线的信息。
针对该种情况，由于智能天线上未设置RFID标签，所以读取不到天线的RFID标签。因此，可通过与外设连接单元连接的PCU获取到形如天线型号信 息的天线特征识别信息。其中，PUC为近端配置工具，存储有天线的特征识别信息。
可选地，当检测到电源单元处于上电状态后，该方法还包括：
通过外设连接单元获取天线的ASD中的工勘参数；当接收到调制解调单元发送的经过调制转换后的AISG信号后，通过外设连接单元和第二收发单元，将工勘参数发送至基站。
其中，工勘参数可包括天线的地理位置参数、高度参数、机械倾角参数、机械方位角参数等，本发明实施例对此不进行具体限定。
本发明实施例提供的方法，在引入了天线识别单元和外设连接单元等后，可获取到天线的特征识别信息，进而根据该特征识别信息得到天线的权值数据，所以扩展了对天线进行权值管理的功能，且还可得到天线的工勘参数，扩展了工参测量功能。不但扩展成本较低且工程难度较小，功能扩展效率高，而且便于基站根据权值数据和工勘参数对天线进行管理。
需要说明的是：上述实施例提供的天线功能扩展装置在对天线进行功能扩展时，仅以上述各功能模块的划分进行举例说明，实际应用中，可以根据需要而将上述功能分配由不同的功能模块完成，即将装置的内部结构划分成不同的功能模块，以完成以上描述的全部或者部分功能。另外，上述实施例提供的天线功能扩展装置与对天线进行功能扩展的方法实施例属于同一构思，其具体实现过程详见方法实施例，这里不再赘述。
本领域普通技术人员可以理解实现上述实施例的全部或部分步骤可以通过硬件来完成，也可以通过程序来指令相关的硬件完成，所述的程序可以存储于一种计算机可读存储介质中，上述提到的存储介质可以是只读存储器，磁盘或光盘等。
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例，并不用以限制本发明，凡在本发明的精神和原则之内，所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等，均应包含在本发明的 保护范围之内。
