Detailed Description

in order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following detailed description will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

The embodiment of the invention provides an indoor distribution system and network side equipment, which can greatly reduce the network construction cost.

an embodiment of the present invention provides an indoor distribution system, including a plurality of antenna units arranged in an array, as shown in fig. 1, each of the antenna units includes an active indoor sub-antenna and a plurality of passive indoor sub-antennas arranged around the active indoor sub-antenna, where an antenna unit is located inside each dashed line frame.

in this embodiment, the indoor distribution system includes a plurality of antenna units arranged in an array, and each antenna unit includes an active indoor sub-antenna and a plurality of passive indoor sub-antennas arranged around the active indoor sub-antenna.

The number of the passive chamber-divided antennas included in each antenna unit can be set according to needs. In a specific example, as shown in fig. 1, each of the antenna units includes 8 passive chamber antennas, and 8 passive chamber antennas surround 1 active chamber antenna. After the indoor distribution system is adopted, the use number of the active indoor branch antennas is reduced, and the network construction cost of the indoor distribution system can be greatly reduced. Taking a multi-partition indoor scene as an example, in the conventional scheme, the distribution distance of the active indoor sub-antennas is 10-15 meters, and the average coverage area of each point is 100 plus 225 square meters, whereas in the invention, the distribution distance of the active indoor sub-antennas is 30-35 meters, the average coverage area of each point is 900 plus 1225 square meters, and the usage amount of the active indoor sub-antennas is reduced to 11-18% of the original usage amount. Since the cost of the passive indoor sub-antenna is much less than that of the active indoor sub-antenna, the indoor distribution system proposed in this embodiment will reduce the networking cost to 11% -18% of the original scheme.

further, in order to realize accurate indoor positioning, bluetooth devices (BLE) are integrated inside the passive indoor sub-antenna and the active indoor sub-antenna, and the bluetooth devices can be switched between a bluetooth gateway mode and a bluetooth beacon mode. When the bluetooth device is in the bluetooth beacon mode, the bluetooth terminal can receive a broadcast Signal sent by the bluetooth device, and report a Media Access Control (MAC) address and a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value to a positioning server for position calculation. Thus, by integrating bluetooth devices inside the passive indoor sub-antenna and the active indoor sub-antenna, indoor location service capability can be provided. And thirdly, after the bluetooth device integrated in the active indoor sub-antenna is switched to the bluetooth gateway mode, the active indoor sub-antenna monitoring function can be achieved, and working parameters of the bluetooth device integrated in the passive indoor sub-antenna, such as working parameters of the bluetooth device in the bluetooth beacon mode, can be configured.

The indoor distribution system provided by the embodiment of the invention can meet the requirements of a single-flow chamber subsystem and a double-flow chamber subsystem required by high capacity.

in one embodiment, the single-flow indoor distribution system is configured as shown in fig. 2, the active indoor distribution antenna has 4 rf output interfaces outside, each rf output interface is externally connected to a splitter, and two output ports of the splitter are respectively connected to a passive indoor distribution antenna. The power of each of the rf output interfaces of the active room antennas is 4dBm greater than the transmit power of the passive room antennas, taking into account splitter and feeder losses introducing about 4dB insertion loss. If the transmitting power of each passive chamber antenna is +10dBm, the power of each radio frequency output interface of each active chamber antenna is +14 dBm. When the indoor distribution system is oriented to 5G applications, the active indoor sub-antenna can provide 4 streams, and in the indoor distribution system of the embodiment, each passive indoor sub-antenna can provide a single stream. The splitter may be integrated into the active chamber antenna, or may be independent from the active chamber antenna.

for a high-capacity scene, a dual-polarized passive indoor-division antenna may be adopted, as shown in fig. 3, the active indoor-division antenna still supports 4 streams and has 2 radio frequency output interfaces, each radio frequency output interface is connected with a dual-channel splitter, and four output ports of the dual-channel splitter are respectively connected with four dual-polarized passive indoor-division antennas. The power of each rf output interface of the active room antenna is 7dBm greater than the transmit power of the passive room antenna, considering splitter and feeder losses of about 7 dB. If the output power of the dual-polarized passive chamber antenna is +10dBm, the output power of each channel of the active chamber antenna is +17 dBm. When the indoor distribution system is oriented to 5G application, the active indoor sub-antenna can provide 4 flows, and in the indoor distribution system provided by the embodiment of the invention, each passive indoor sub-antenna can provide two flows. The dual-channel splitter may be integrated into the active chamber antenna or may be independent of the active chamber antenna.

In the indoor distribution system of the embodiment of the present invention, taking a dual-flow indoor distribution system as an example, a system architecture of an active indoor distribution antenna is shown in fig. 4, and includes:

The active radio frequency unit is respectively connected with the Bluetooth equipment and the combiner;

The Bluetooth device is respectively connected with the active radio frequency unit and the combiner, has the functions of a Bluetooth gateway and a Bluetooth beacon, and can be configured to be in a Bluetooth gateway mode or a Bluetooth beacon mode by a distributed pico-base station (TRX) through a control signal;

the input end of the combiner is respectively connected with the active radio frequency unit and the output end of the Bluetooth device, and the output end of the combiner is connected with a power distribution device;

the power distribution device is used for distributing input signal power to two output ends according to a certain proportion, the input end of the power distribution device is connected with the output end of the combiner, and the output end of the power distribution device is respectively connected with the integrated antenna and the direct current coupling module;

the integrated antenna is an integrated microstrip antenna inside the active chamber antenna and is used for radiating the radio-frequency signals output by the power distribution device into wireless signals for transmission;

the direct current coupling module is used for transmitting the radio frequency signal output by the power distribution device to the radio frequency output interface of the active indoor branch antenna and transmitting the direct current energy output by the direct current power supply to the radio frequency output interface of the active indoor branch antenna;

The direct current power supply is connected with the direct current coupling module.

further, as shown in fig. 4, a radio frequency output interface of the active room division antenna is connected to a power divider, each output port of the power divider is connected to one passive room division antenna, and the passive room division antenna is a dual-polarized antenna.

further, the active radio frequency unit is a four-channel active radio frequency unit, the combiner is a four-channel combiner, and the power divider is a four-power divider.

the passive indoor branch antenna with the built-in Bluetooth device needs to solve the power supply problem, the management and control problem and the like.

For the power supply problem, the bluetooth device is usually powered by a battery, and the service life of the bluetooth device is limited by the limit of the battery capacity. As shown in fig. 4, the external of the active indoor antenna is connected with two four power dividers, and the output port of each four power divider is connected with a dual-polarized passive indoor antenna with a built-in bluetooth device. Because the four power dividers can transmit the direct current signals from the input ends to the output ends of the four power dividers, the direct current signals provided by the active indoor sub-antenna can be finally transmitted to the passive indoor sub-antenna to supply power for the Bluetooth equipment integrated in the active indoor sub-antenna.

To the management and control problem, when the bluetooth device is in the bluetooth beacon mode, the working state of the bluetooth device needs to be regularly detected, meanwhile, the configuration parameters of the bluetooth device are irregularly modified, the traditional bluetooth beacon needs to be managed and controlled manually, and the later maintenance cost is high. In the indoor distribution system of this embodiment, when the bluetooth beacon needs to detect the working state or modify the configuration parameters, the active indoor sub-antenna notifies the bluetooth device to configure the bluetooth device as the bluetooth gateway mode, and the active indoor sub-antenna can communicate with the bluetooth device in the bluetooth beacon mode integrated inside the passive indoor sub-antenna to configure the working parameters of the bluetooth beacon of the passive indoor sub-antenna.

further, when the passive indoor sub-antenna is a single-polarized antenna, as shown in fig. 5, the input rf cable of the single-polarized antenna transmits both the control signal and the dc signal.

when the passive indoor antenna is a dual-polarized antenna, there are two schemes, as shown in fig. 6, one input radio frequency cable of the dual-polarized antenna transmits both a control signal and a direct current signal, and the other input radio frequency cable transmits only the control signal. As shown in fig. 7, in another scheme, two input radio frequency cables of the dual-polarized antenna both transmit the control signal and the dc signal at the same time.

the embodiment of the invention also provides network side equipment, which comprises at least one indoor distribution system.

in the network side device provided by this embodiment, first, the active indoor sub-antenna and the passive indoor sub-antenna are mixed to form a network, so that the network construction cost can be greatly reduced; secondly, the indoor positioning service capability can be provided by integrating the Bluetooth beacon function in the active indoor sub-antenna and the passive indoor sub-antenna; and thirdly, the Bluetooth beacon function integrated in the active indoor sub-antenna can be switched to be a Bluetooth gateway function, the passive indoor sub-antenna monitoring function is achieved, and working parameters of the Bluetooth beacon integrated in the passive indoor sub-antenna can be configured.

While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
