Step 801, RF remote unit 202 receive radiofrequency signal by antenna 111, after being converted into electrical signal data by transceiver 105, be converted into optical signal data through optical interface 203, and this optical signal data sent to the optical interface 203 of Base Band Unit 201 correspondences by optical fiber.
After the optical interface 203 of step 802, Base Band Unit 201 is received optical signal data, this optical signal data is converted into electrical signal data, and, sends to baseband data processor 103 by after 104 despreadings of spread spectrum/despreader.
Step 803, baseband data processor 103 judge the data that receive are from which optical interface 203, according to the corresponding relation of predefined this optical interface 203 with RF remote unit 202, know received data-signal from which RF remote unit 202, and carry out corresponding data processing.
Fig. 9 is the flow chart of the wireless base system emission information of the described employing cascade system of present embodiment networking, and referring to Fig. 6 and Fig. 9, this flow process may further comprise the steps:
Step 901, baseband data processor 103 will send to the transfer of data of each RF remote unit 202 and carry out spread spectrum to spread spectrum/despreader 104.
CPRI logic chip 204 in step 902, the Base Band Unit 201 is the Frame of CPRI form with the data conversion that sends; In the Frame of CPRI form, the data that are sent to different radio frequency far-end unit 202 lay respectively at time slots different in the Frame, and the data of each RF remote unit 202 are pairing time slot position relative fixed in Frame, and the Frame after will transforming sends optical interface 203 to.
In this step, owing to on the same group RF remote unit 202 not, be connected the different optical interfaces 203 of Base Band Unit 201, same group RF remote unit 202 is connected the same optical interface 203 of Base Band Unit 201.Therefore according to the corresponding relation of group with optical interface, the data that belong to same group of RF remote unit 202 send by same optical interface 203 after being converted into the CPRI Frame; Belong to after the data conversion of RF remote unit 202 is not the CPRI Frame on the same group, send by different optical interface 203.
The electrical signal data frame that the optical interface 203 of step 903, Base Band Unit 201 will send is converted into the optical signal data frame, and by optical fiber the optical signal data frame is sent to the RF remote unit 202 that directly links to each other with Base Band Unit 201, with this RF remote unit 202 as current RF remote unit 202.
After the optical interface 203 of step 904, current RF remote unit 202 receives the optical signal data frame that will send, this optical signal data frame is converted into the electrical signal data frame, the CPRI logical block 204 of current afterwards RF remote unit 202 is resolved this electrical signal data frame, promptly judge in this electrical signal data frame and free of data is arranged with these current RF remote unit 202 time slot corresponding, if have, then read these data, after the data that read are handled by transceiver 105 and power amplifier 106, launch by antenna, carry out next step; Otherwise, carry out next step.
Step 905, current RF remote unit 202 judge in other time slot of described electrical signal data frame whether data are arranged, if have, the data that also have other RF remote unit 202 in this electrical signal data frame then are described, execution in step 906, otherwise, the data that do not have other RF remote units 202 in the described electrical signal data frame then are described, therefore finish the emission flow process.
Because networking structure relative fixed, the order of connection of several RF remote units 202 of cascade and RF remote unit 202 has been provided with fixing in advance on optical interface 203, therefore, this step is also replaceable to be: current RF remote unit 202 judges self whether to be final stage RF remote unit 202 in the cascade connection, if, then execution in step 906, otherwise, finish transmission flow.
Step 906, current RF remote unit 202 do not make any change to the data of other time slot in the electrical signal data frame, the optical interface 203 that utilization links to each other with next stage RF remote unit 202 is converted into the optical signal data frame with this electrical signal data frame, and continue to transmit these optical signal data frames to next stage RF remote unit 202 by optical fiber, this moment, this next stage RF remote unit 202 was current RF remote unit 202, returned step 904.
Figure 10 is the flow chart that the wireless base system of the described employing cascade system of present embodiment networking receives information, and referring to Fig. 6 and Figure 10, the flow process of this received signal may further comprise the steps:
Step 1001, RF remote unit 202 carry out radio frequency processing with the information that antenna receives by transceiver 105.
Step 1002, RF remote unit 202 judge whether to receive the optical signal data frame that meets the CPRI form of next stage RF remote unit 202 transmissions, if then execution in step 1003, otherwise execution in step 1004.
Step 1003, RF remote unit 202 utilize optical interface 203 that the optical signal data frame of receiving is converted into the electrical signal data frame, and the information that self is received is added in this electrical signal data frame in the time slot corresponding by CPRI logical block 204, again the electrical signal data frame after the interpolation information is converted into the optical signal data frame by optical interface 203, execution in step 1005.
The information that step 1004, RF remote unit 202 are received self is converted into the electrical signal data frame that meets the CPRI form by CPRI logical block 204, and by optical interface 203 this electrical signal data frame is converted into the optical signal data frame, execution in step 105.
Step 1005, RF remote unit 202 send to the optical signal data frame and this RF remote unit 202 direct-connected upper level RF remote unit 202 or Base Band Unit 201 by optical interface 203 and optical fiber.
After the optical interface 203 of step 1006, Base Band Unit 201 receives the optical signal data frame, this optical signal data frame is converted into the electrical signal data frame, resolve this electrical signal data frame by CPRI logic chip 204 again, be about to the taking-up of the data in each time slot in this electrical signal data frame, and the data that each time slot is taken out are as the data of the RF remote unit 202 of this time slot correspondence, after 104 despreadings of spread spectrum/despreader, handle by baseband data processor 103.
Above-mentioned when having introduced the networking of employing star fashion respectively and having adopted the cascade system networking, the structure of wireless base system of the present invention and the flow process of receiving and sending messages.Based on above-mentioned two kinds of networking modes, the present invention also can be provided with different networking modes flexibly, and the mode networking of for example adopting star and cascade to mix mutually can reach purpose of the present invention equally, and its flow process of receiving and sending messages is same or similar with above-mentioned flow process respectively.
The above; only for the preferable embodiment of the present invention, but protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and anyly is familiar with the people of this technology in the disclosed technical scope of the present invention; the variation that can expect easily or replacement all should be encompassed within protection scope of the present invention.
