Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain better reception by applying diversity reception with two sets of receivers, while utilizing the rest receiver so as to seek an antenna with higher output. CONSTITUTION:Plural directivity antennas A1-A6 are connected to three sets of receivers RX1-RX2 via antenna changeover switches SA-SN. Then diversity reception is applied by using two sets of receivers connected always to a high- order antenna and a directivity antenna not connected is searched by using the 3rd rank receiver. When a directivity antenna having an input larger than the reception input of the high-order two sets is found out, antenna switching controllers CA-CN control the changeover switches SA-SN to reconnect the said antenna with an antenna connected to the two sets of the receivers. Thus, better reception is attained in this way.

Conventional configurations and their problems In mobile communications, especially mobile radio telephones, the antenna effective radiated power (ERP) is much smaller than the radio output of the base station, so a focal antenna is used for base station transmission, and base reception is In order to improve the uplink S/N ratio, multiple directional antennas are installed facing different directions for reception. When using these antennas, the antenna with the highest level is selected within the time average value of the reception level of each antenna, which is higher than the value required for communication, and is connected to the call receiver, so-called diversity reception is performed. The levels are configured to provide a balance between call quality (mobile → base) and downlink (base → mobile).

This is because when using an antenna with a directional horizontal pattern, when the mobile station moves in a direction that deviates from the main direction of the antenna directivity, the reception input gradually decreases, and the S/N ratio decreases accordingly. It deteriorates and eventually it becomes impossible to make a call. The gain of a base station directional antenna is maximum within a certain angle, and once the angle is exceeded, the gain does not disappear at all, but rather gradually decreases. Therefore, at the point where the gain has decreased by a certain level, the adjacent antenna The gains are set so that they overlap at a predetermined level so that a gain of

Now, the service area of omnidirectional antennas is covered by six antennas with a directional gain half-width of 60 degrees Celsius.
There is a diversity reception method that covers all directions and connects these antennas to two call receivers, but the reception level of mobile communications varies by several Hz to several tens of Hz, depending on the speed and direction of movement of the car. Therefore, it is necessary to perform diversity reception by connecting the receiver to two or more antennas with similar average levels as much as possible, but one of the two antennas is used for reception, and the other When searching for antennas on the unit, S/N by diversity
Since the ratio cannot be improved, there is a problem in that while one receiver is searching for another antenna, the S/N of the receiver during a call deteriorates and the call is interrupted.

FIG. 3 shows a reception control flowchart of the present invention, and the control operation in the control unit CA will be explained using FIG. 3. The control flow starts, and in step 1, the antenna inputs in the six directions are input to the antennas A1 .
A3. A5 in the second state, A2. A4. Detect the reception level of A6. In step 2, the presence or absence of reception input is detected, and (Y) if there is no input, the antenna switching operation continues. On the other hand, when an input is detected (N), the process proceeds to step 3 to detect whether there is one input or more than one input. 1J
'(y), proceed to step 3, step 4, and if it is 1, 2 or more, follow the determination in step 5. Now, if input is obtained at antenna A1, antennas A2 . Connect the 80 to the receiver. From Figure 2, the receiver Rx1 is attached to antenna A1, and the receiver Rx1 is attached to antenna 80.
x3 is connected to antenna A2, and Rx2 is connected to antenna A2, and the three receivers perform VOTING reception.

If the result in step 3 is (N), it is determined in step 5 whether the input is in two directions or not (three directions). In the case of two directions (Y), the process proceeds to the puff puffer 60 determining section, and determines whether the two inputs are adjacent antennas or not. If they are adjacent (Y), the receiver with no input is connected to the neighbor of the larger of the two inputs. For example, in the case where the antenna inputs are A1 and A6, Rx1 is already connected to A1 and RX3 is already connected to A6. Therefore, in step 7, RX3 is connected to A5 and vaulting reception is performed.This situation occurs when the mobile station is located closer to A1 than the center of antenna 80, and reception without input is performed. Machine Rx2 is placed at A5.

Next, in step 6, two-manpower is B's A1. In the case of remote antennas (N) such as A5, step 8 causes the unmanned receiver (Rx2) to connect to the remaining antennas A2. A3.
A4. A6 is sequentially switched and received (researched), and the presence or absence of input is determined in step 9.

In step 10, the antennas in the four directions are searched again in step 8 and the antenna with the maximum input is detected, so the unmanned receiver RX2 is connected thereto to continue the voting reception. If there are inputs in three or more directions in step 20, the antennas in the top three directions are connected to Rx1 to Rx3 in this order.

If there is no unmanned receiver, the difference Prd between the maximum input value Prm and the minimum input value Prm of the three receivers is determined by the level difference judgment in input step 24, and cLdB≧Prd is determined for the limit value αdB of the level difference.

Here, the receiver with the third highest input receives signals in four directions sequentially using the remaining four antennas excluding the top two antennas, and first clears the second timer. Next, in step 33, it is determined whether the antenna with the maximum input is different from the antenna before switching (Y) or not (N).

At least four directional antennas provided in a mobile radio base station, three receivers into which the output of any one of the directional antennas is inputted via an antenna changeover switch, and the three receivers. Voting means for selectively outputting the highest audio output among the audio outputs of the receiver, and a receiver having the third average level input based on the average level of the input of each receiver to receive the first and second highest audio outputs. A search is performed by sequentially connecting directional antennas other than the directional antenna connected to the receiver, and if the input of the third-rank receiver exceeds the input of the second-rank receiver, the antenna changeover switch switches the antenna to the second receiver. and a control unit for changing the connection so as to connect the searched directional antenna output to the second-ranked receiver.
