Description

一种带状覆盖的智能天线实现方法与装置 A smart antenna implementation method and device for strip coverage

技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及无线通信领域,尤其涉及一种适用于带状覆盖的智能天线实现方法与装置。The invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a method and device for implementing a smart antenna suitable for strip coverage.

背景技术 Background technique

智能天线系统中,基站天线通常为阵列天线,该通信系统采用波束赋形(也称波束形成)技术,即根据信号传输的空间特性,通过空间数字信号处理,实现赋形权矢量估计或下行波束赋形,从而达到降低干扰、增加容量、扩大覆盖、改善通信质量、降低发射功率和提高无线数据传输速率的目的。In the smart antenna system, the base station antenna is usually an array antenna. The communication system uses beamforming (also known as beamforming) technology, that is, according to the spatial characteristics of signal transmission, through spatial digital signal processing, it realizes shaping weight vector estimation or downlink beamforming. Forming, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing interference, increasing capacity, expanding coverage, improving communication quality, reducing transmission power and increasing wireless data transmission rate.

在实际应用中,考虑到通信系统业务负荷空间分布以及基站建设成本等因素的影响,某些基站的覆盖范围可能存在一定的特殊性。对于带状覆盖,通常适合于边际网交通沿线覆盖,即基站天线架设在公路、铁路、航道等线性区域的交通沿线旁边,带状覆盖区内的话务量较低,用户终端移动速度较高,切换频繁。多数情况下,智能天线系统的阵列天线辐射面具有一定的指向性,可称为单辐射面,而针对线性天线阵列(简称线阵),由于各单天线方向图的指向基本与线阵辐射面的法线方向一致,因此线阵的覆盖范围可以认为是辐射面法线方向的一侧,相反方向的一侧则由相应的另一基站实现覆盖,这样在一定的覆盖范围内可能会使基站数量增加,造成网络建设成本上升,同时可能使用户终端移动时的切换次数增加,导致通话质量和可靠性下降。In practical applications, considering the influence of factors such as the spatial distribution of communication system business load and the cost of base station construction, the coverage of some base stations may have certain particularities. For strip coverage, it is usually suitable for coverage along the traffic line of the marginal network, that is, the base station antenna is erected next to the traffic line in linear areas such as roads, railways, and waterways. The traffic volume in the strip coverage area is low, and the mobile speed of user terminals is high. , switching frequently. In most cases, the radiation surface of the array antenna of the smart antenna system has a certain directivity, which can be called a single radiation surface. For a linear antenna array (referred to as a linear array), since the direction of each single antenna pattern is basically the same as that of the linear array radiation surface The normal direction of the line array is consistent, so the coverage of the line array can be considered as one side of the normal direction of the radiation surface, and the other side of the opposite direction is covered by the corresponding other base station, which may make the base station within a certain coverage area The increase in the number will increase the cost of network construction, and may increase the number of handovers when the user terminal moves, resulting in a decrease in call quality and reliability.

At the same time, this patent application also provides a smart antenna beamforming device for group coverage, including: a beam storage unit, a multicast user distribution range acquisition unit, and a beamforming unit, which can make each beam cover all groups Broadcast users, save code channel resources, and reduce interference between different users. However, the technology of this patent application does not improve the network performance of the strip coverage of the smart antenna system.

综上可知,现有带状覆盖的智能天线技术在实际使用上,显然存在不便与缺陷,所以有必要加以改进。To sum up, it can be seen that the existing strip-coverage smart antenna technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in actual use, so it is necessary to improve it.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

本发明的智能天线系统采用双辐射面线阵,即双辐射面线性天线阵列,图1示出了一种双辐射面线阵的结构,包括线性排列的天线1~天线M,其一般设置于基站处。定义天线1与天线M之间的连线方向为阵列流形方向,指向0°和指向180°的法线方向分别定义为正方向和反方向,对应的辐射面分别称为正辐射面和反辐射面。The smart antenna system of the present invention adopts a double-radiating surface linear array, that is, a double-radiating surface linear antenna array. Fig. 1 shows a structure of a double-radiating surface linear array, including linearly arranged antennas 1 to M, which are generally arranged in at the base station. Define the direction of the connection line between antenna 1 and antenna M as the direction of the array manifold, the normal directions pointing to 0° and 180° are defined as the positive direction and the reverse direction, respectively, and the corresponding radiation surfaces are called the positive radiation surface and the reverse direction, respectively. radiating surface.
