Specifically, the device of the adjustment antenna radiation pattern can be arranged on whole using the AP of MIMO technology and/or movement
On end;Wherein, the AP, such as can be the network equipment that WLAN gateway, WIFI hot spot etc. support WLAN protocol;The movement
Terminal supports WLAN protocol.Wherein, the target device is the AP or the mobile terminal:If described device is arranged on institute
State on AP, then the target device is the mobile terminal;If described device is set on the mobile terminal, the target
Equipment is the AP;Optionally, if the mobile terminal and the AP are provided with described device simultaneously, can the AP with
Handshake Protocol is set between the mobile terminal, according to network and user's request, side is only opened in synchronization(The AP sides
Or the mobile terminal side, exemplified by opening the AP sides)Adjustment multiple antennas compound direction figure function, and do not open tune
The side of whole function(The mobile terminal side or the AP sides, it is herein the mobile terminal side)For target device.It is described
Wireless channel indicated value, for reflecting the quality of the wireless channel between the AP and the mobile terminal, for example, it may be ginseng
Examine signal intensity instruction(Received Signal Strength Indication, abbreviation RSSI)Or handling capacity
(Throughput).It is configured with and each self-corresponding phase shifter for each antenna in mimo system in said device;Institute
State processor and obtain the wireless channel indicated value for receiving channel, and according to the wireless channel indicated value got, change institute
The phase-shift phase of phase shifter is stated, so as to adjust the directional diagram of each antenna(Antenna pattern)So that each antenna
The principal stresses angle of compound direction figure points to target device.
The method of adjustment antenna radiation pattern provided in an embodiment of the present invention, by being respectively each antenna configuration and each antenna
Corresponding phase shifter, and according to the wireless channel indicated value got, change the phase-shift phase of the phase shifter, so as to adjust each day
The directional diagram of line, so that the principal stresses angle of the compound direction figure of each antenna points to target device, realize according to mobile whole
End and the change of AP relative position, dynamic adjust the compound direction figure of multiple antennas, improve the handling capacity of system.
On the basis of above-described embodiment, change the mode of the phase-shift phase of the phase shifter, pass through change as long as can reach
The phase-shift phase of the phase shifter is so that the mode that the principal stresses angle of the compound direction figure of each antenna points to target device is
Can, such as can be, according to the rule pre-set only change phase shifter phase-shift phase or, change each move one by one
The phase-shift phase of phase device or, while change the phase-shift phase of multiple phase shifters, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited once.
On the basis of above-described embodiment, after the processor gets wireless channel indicated value, this is got
Wireless channel indicated value is made comparisons with the initial value of wireless channel indicated value:
If the processor determines that this wireless channel indicated value got is more than the first of the wireless channel indicated value
Initial value, then the phase-shift phase of the phase shifter is incrementally increased until this wireless channel indicated value got is not more than previous acquisition
The wireless channel indicated value arrived.If the processor determines that this wireless channel indicated value got is less than the wireless channel
The initial value of indicated value, then progressively reduce the phase-shift phase of the phase shifter until the wireless channel indicated value that this gets is not small
In the previous wireless channel indicated value got.
It is illustrated below:Wireless channel indicated value by taking RSSI as an example, adopt by the mode for changing the phase-shift phase of the phase shifter
With the mode for the phase-shift phase for only changing a phase shifter:The initial value of the wireless channel indicated value is RSSI0, the phase of phase shifter
Shifting amount is 0, and the phase-shift phase of phase shifter is adjusted into f1(F1 is positive number), the RSSI value that the processor obtains now is RSSI1.
Wherein, the initial value of the wireless channel indicated value can be the conjunction that the AP or the mobile terminal open adjustment multiple antennas
Into directional diagram function when the wireless channel indicated value that obtains or the AP or the mobile terminal period obtain
Wireless channel indicated value.
If RSSI1 is more than RSSI0, illustrate the sensing of principal stresses angle of the compound direction figure of each antenna to mesh
The direction of marking device is close, and therefore, the phase-shift phase for continuing to increase phase shifter is f1+ ▽ f,(F1 and ▽ f specific value can root
It is configured according to being actually needed, ▽ f are the adjusting step of phase-shift phase)And obtain adjustment after the phase-shift phase of adjustment phase shifter every time
RSSI value afterwards, made comparisons with the previous RSSI value got to determine how the phase-shift phase of adjustment phase shifter, until this is obtained
During the wireless channel indicated value that the wireless channel indicated value got is got no more than previous, illustrate the synthesis side of each antenna
Target device is had been directed to the principal stresses angle of figure, therefore the phase-shift phase after the previous adjustment of phase shifter is fixed up.Therefore,
The method of adjustment antenna radiation pattern provided in an embodiment of the present invention can cause the target device to be in the conjunction of each antenna
Into in the signal cover of the principal stresses angle of directional diagram, so as to the handling capacity of maximum target device to greatest extent.
If RSSI1 is less than RSSI0, illustrate that the principal stresses angle of the compound direction figure of each antenna has been directed away from mesh
The direction of marking device, therefore, the phase-shift phase for reducing phase shifter are-f1, and the RSSI value when phase-shift phase for obtaining phase shifter is-f1
RSSI2, if RSSI2 is less than RSSI1, the phase-shift phase for continuing to reduce phase shifter is-f1- ▽ f, and in adjustment phase shifter every time
The RSSI value after adjustment is obtained after phase-shift phase, is made comparisons with the previous RSSI value got to determine how the phase of adjustment phase shifter
Shifting amount, when the wireless channel indicated value that wireless channel indicated value that this gets is got not less than previous, illustrate institute
The principal stresses angle for stating the compound direction figure of each antenna has been directed to target device, therefore by the phase shift after the previous adjustment of phase shifter
Amount is fixed up.
On the basis of above-described embodiment, the phase-shift phase of adjustment phase shifter can be further limited by default threshold value
Trigger condition, avoid frequently adjustment phase shifter phase-shift phase, i.e.,:If the processor determines this wireless channel got
Indicated value and the difference of the initial value of the wireless channel indicated value are more than first threshold, then incrementally increase the phase of the phase shifter
Shifting amount is not more than institute until the difference of wireless channel indicated value and the previous wireless channel indicated value got that this gets
State first threshold.If the processor determine wireless channel indicated value that this gets and the wireless channel indicated value just
The difference of initial value is less than Second Threshold, then progressively reduces the wireless communication Dow Jones index that the phase-shift phase of the phase shifter is got until this
The difference of indicating value and the previous wireless channel indicated value got is not less than the Second Threshold.Wherein, first threshold and/or
Two threshold values can be positive number or negative, both absolute values can with it is equal can also be different, in practice can be according to network condition
Determined with factors such as user's actual needs.
