Definitions
- the invention is related to wireless communication systems, and, in particular, to digital cellular teleommunications networks, specifically referring to an antenna system architecture that is intelligent modular and compatible, that is pluggable to any Node B or Base Station as the antenna can be shared by several operators, so that the different base stations of the latter can connect to said antenna.
- the compatibility implies that the antenna system architecture can be plugged to the radiofrequency (RF) interface (Fig 1a), b) & c))used together with the rest of the base station's equipment, regardless of the manufacturer, which means that it is not necessary to change or modify the base station when you wish to replace the conventional antenna with the antenna that is the object of the invention.
- RF radiofrequency
- GSM Global System for Mobile Communications
- UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
- MMDS Multichannel Multipoint Distribution System
- LMDS Local Multipoint Distribution Service
- the intelligence refers to the possibility of the antenna having a variable radiation diagram, being capable of generating or selecting directive beams focussed on the required user.
- the modularization concept is based on the use of combiners (in transmission) and dividers (in reception) before and after each channel's transmission and reception. The transmission and reception are separated by duplexers. Adding new channels or using new bands can be carried out by adding new radio frequency modules in both transmission and reception.
- the radio software techniques also allow the shared use of the intelligent antenna by different communication standards, such as GSM, UMTS, MMDS, LMDS and others, including the processing modules required.
- the compatibility refers to the possibility of using this antenna together with the rest of the base station's equipment, regardless of the manufacturer, making it possible to use it with base stations that are not prepared expressly to use the same.
- it is not necessary to change the base station when you wish to replace the conventional antenna by the antenna that is the object of this invention enables direct connection into the radiofrequency interface, both at the transmitter power amplifier output as at the receiver low noise amplifier input with the Node B or Base Station without performing any change or modification in its hardware or software. That is the multistandard intelligent modular compatible antenna system allows the direct substitution of the connventional antennas from the Node B or Base Station by means of disconnecting its coaxial connectors of the later, and connecting instead the ones from the antenna object of this invention.
- the compatible modular intelligent antenna for cellular communications in multioperator multistandard environments in accordance with the object of the invention, it is basically formed of: an antenna subsystem that includes the set of radiating elements, duplexers, low-noise amplifiers in reception, combining networks in transmission and dividing networks in reception, and passive control elements of the antenna diagram; an RF/IF subsystem, which includes all the analogical components associated with the transmitter and the receiver, amplifiers, frequency converters, filters, power amplifiers and A/D and D/A converters; a radio software subsystem, which includes all the channel separation processes, modulation, demodulation, filtering, coding and decoding, associated with the digital transmission and reception processes; an adaptive algorithm subsystem, which includes the digital processes associated with the signal control of the whole of the antenna, in both reception and transmission. This subsystem is very related to the previous one.
- FIG. 1 corresponds to a conventional base station, including a system (1) of conventional antennas (not intelligent), a link (2), by which the signal is taken from the antenna to the equipment (3) of the base station (for example, Node B in UMTS terminology).
- the conventional base station mentiodeis joined by a link (4) to the rest of the network (5).
- the architecture presented allows the same for a multistandard compatible that is pluggable to the RF interface of any Node B or Base Station, modular intelligent antenna system to be shared by different operators that have different standards, so the architecture's modularity allows the number of operators to increase and for them to be able to support the different communications standards thanks to the flexibility provided by the radio software.
- the compatibility concept is achieved by demodulating, shaping the beam with the criterion of adapting the diagram selected and then modulating again (DEREM concept).
- Figure 3 shows the modular architecture of the a multistandard compatible, that is pluggable to the RF interface of any Node B or Base Station, intelligent antenna systemparticularised to support different operators in a certain standard, in which you can see a set of antennas (17) for every one of the orthogonal polarisations established in blocks (18) and (19), so that each antenna (17) is attacked by a duplexer/combiner/divider (20) which manages t separate the channels.
- RF radio frequency
- A/D analog/digital
- A/D analog/digital and digital/analog conversion block
- digital demodulation by a digital transmitter/receiver block
- an optimum combination of the signals from the different antennas in accordance with the shaping criterion for every channel, by a beam shaper (24).
- the process for every channel is similar, in other words a digital modulation (23), a digital/analog conversion (22) and a conversion from intermediate frequency to radio frequency (21).
- the channels are combined by means of a duplexer/combiner/divider (20) to be able to provide the nodes (25) of the different operators with service.
- the transmission process would be analogue to the reception process, which is the one that has been explained, but the signals would flow in the opposite direction, in other words from the nods of the different operators (25) to the antennas (17), in other words, the signal of a specific node would be divided into its different channels (20), with the process for every channel as follows: RF/IF conversion (21), A/D conversion (22), digital demodulation (23), beam shaping (24), digital remodulation (23), D/A conversion (22), IF/RF conversion (21). Then the channels (20) combine and they are transferred to the antennas (17).
- the area marked with the reference (26) in figure 3 does not break the modularity, since it can be implemented by radio software techniques, and it is therefore a software that can be updated, respecting all the hardware.
- FIG. 4 shows the corresponding elements of the RF system, which are as follows:
- Figure 5 shows the diagram of the hardware required for the digital receiver, which has to be accompanied by the digital process signal. Shown in said figure are the A/D converter (37), the numeric oscillator (38) of fo frequency (39). The output signal of said oscillator and its 90° phase shift by block (40), multiply the digital signal, which after being decimated by the block (41), gives rise to inphase (42) and quadrature (43) signals.
- FIG. 6 shows the configuration for the beam shaping subsystem using the case of the uplink for the UMTS standard as an example.
- the adaptive process subsystem is responsible for updating the array factor, using the synchronisation pilot reference signal for the shaping, which is sent via the Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) for every one of the users.
- DPCCH Dedicated Physical Control Channel
- An adaptive array is going to be used as the intelligent antenna.
- Figure 3 shows the diagram of the system blocks. Four subsystems can be identified in it:
- the antenna subsystem for the UMTS adaptive array application is formed of a group of vertical linear arrays formed by coincident or alternated dual-polarised antennas.
- the base stations are formed of three sectors, so every one of the flat groups would replace one of those with a 120° coverage.
- the base element of every group will be a vertical panel of dual linear polarisation ( ⁇ 45° or V/H) with vertical beam widths of around 7.5° and beam widths in the hor izontal plane of 65° or 90°.
- the typical gain is 17 dBi.
- the RF subsystem is the one that appears separated in more detail in the diagram in figure 4, although it is understood that it would all go in the same module.
- the components of the same are the ones mentioned in the description of the drawings.
- the IF is chosen high to allow a better elimination of the image band, avoiding possible interferences.
- the digital conversion is carried out in IF, avoiding filtering and analog phase noise.
- the radio software subsystem is formed of an A/D converter with a high capacity (e.g. 75 MHz, 12/14 bits) followed by a digital I/Q converter controlled by an NCO, such as the one shown in figure 5, in which phase noise is not created and the features are improved.
- the sampling is carried out at the required frequency (fs) depending on the value of the IF to fulfil the Nyquist theorem.
- the NCO generates sine and cosine signals corresponding to the fs frequency selected from the A/D converter.
- the frequency change only consists of writing a numeric value in the register.
- the signal generated does not modify its frequency, so no phase noise is introduced.
- the M rate decimator is introduced.
- the signal process cards would be sited, where the processes of spreading/unspreading would be carried out by software in order to separate every one of the channel codes, and spreading/unspreading in order to regenerate the CDMA signal again (FDD mode).
- the signals separated by code multiply by the array factor weights [w] for the beam shaping for every one of the channels.
- the adaptive process subsystem is responsible for calculating those weights, using the synchronisation pilot reference signal for the shaping, which is sent by the dedicated physical control channel for every one of the users.
- the shaping algorithm proposed here is a temporary reference one.
- a configuration example of this shaper for the uplink is the content in figure 6. It does not include the RAKE (receiver structure that behaves as a filter adapted to the multipath signal received, so that its detrimental effect can be combated), so the system is simplified by making the intelligent antenna, which is only directed towards the main path, responsible for the elimination.
- a first version of this intelligent antenna has been planned for use with the UMTS standard.
- This implementation is modular, since it allows the number of channels used to be increased. Modularity makes it possible to provide different operators with service, and this fact means that this network infrastructure can be shared. This results in a better use of the infrastructures, as well as less visual and environmental impact.
- the system implemented enables it to be used together with any system of base stations, in other words, the system is compatible with any manufacturer of B Nodes.
