A kind of base station step-out detection apparatus and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the radio communication detection technique, be specifically related to the device and method that a kind of base station step-out detects.
Background technology
TD-SCDMA is a time-division CDMA system, and is very sensitive to clock, requires the whole network synchronous, and the simultaneous techniques that adopts mainly is to adopt the GPS simultaneous techniques at present.The all built-in GPS receiver in each TD-SCDMA base station, the frame boundaries that base station down transmits require to align with GPS pulse per second (PPS) strictness, by this mode, guarantee that each base station clock all keeps guaranteeing the realization that the whole network is synchronous thus synchronously with GPS.
Based on the above-mentioned synchronizing characteristics of TD-SCDMA network, used a large amount of GPS receivers in the existing TD-SCDMA net, so use of scale is because the restriction of GPS correlation detection technology can't guarantee not have the problem of step-out to take place.Meanwhile, because the TD-SCDMA network to synchronous sensitiveness, when step-out or clock veneer generation step-out take place the GPS that uses when the base station, will cause the downstream signal of base station that the GPS step-out takes place, for the TD-SCDMA system, this will produce serious disturbance to base station on every side.At present, at the TD-SCDMA network, also there are not suitable base station step-out detection technique and correlate meter.
Under the current situation that does not have a base station step-out detecting instrument, situation at base station step-out, whether traditional detection method is to exist strong jamming to judge by what check TD-SCDMA descending time slot power under no professional state, and there is significant disadvantages in this detection method:
First: this method can't provide the whether conclusion of step-out of base station, and can only contrast affirmation and whether have this problem by changing the hardware clock veneer, and this base station that need reset obviously can influence the normal operation of network;
Second: at the networking initial stage, this moment, traffic carrying capacity was lower, there is not interference among multiple users, said method still can be used, but arrived the construction later stage of network, when having certain traffic carrying capacity, all there is certain service power on all downlink business time slots, this method can't draw related conclusions.
The 3rd: the centre position that this method requires test point to be in problem base station and adjacent normal base station is measured, otherwise, because the far and near difference of distance, have certain asynchronous between the adjacent base station own.
The 4th: this method only can detect the base station that very big skew takes place to a certain extent, is not that very serious base station can't be located for the GPS step-out.
The 5th: the shortcoming of this method is also to confirm that network failure takes time and effort, and mainly is that the dependence experience is come the affirmation problem by artificial method, and this is difficult to finish fast the interference problem location, safeguards the very big burden of bringing for later network operation.
In sum, this traditional detection method can't satisfy requirement of engineering at present, suddenly needs the instrument/instrument that can carry out the base station step-out detection accurately and satisfies TD-SCDMA networking and O﹠M application.
