Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a mobile communication system, and to a reference thermal noise measuring method and a multi-channel transceiver for the same.
In mobile communication systems, many repeaters are used to increase cell coverage and to eliminate shadow areas. The mobile communication terminals located in the service area (area A) of the base station can receive multi-frequency signals transmitted from the base station, but the area (area B) outside the service area of the base station is located in the area B due to relatively poor radio waves. Mobile communication terminals do not receive a multi-frequency signal transmitted from a base station. The multi-frequency signal transmitted from the base station for expanding the service area, that is, the cell coverage, is relayed by the repeater and transmitted to the mobile communication terminal of the area B. The signal transmitted from the mobile communication terminal of the area B is also relayed by the repeater and transmitted to the base station. As such, repeaters used for coverage expansion are changing from a radio frequency (RF) method to a digital baseband method.
In a CDMA mobile communication system, a transceiver may be used in conjunction with a repeater. The thermal noise signal size of each repeater affects the coverage size of the transceiver. Compared to conventional RF repeaters with only duplex and low noise amplifier (LNA), there are relatively more RF components in the transceiver. RF components have a large change in characteristics due to temperature difference, which also causes a significant change in thermal equilibrium noise. Therefore, when using a transceiver as a repeater, the Rise Over Thermal Noise (ROT) magnitude should be measured during service operation, and the radius of the cell (coverage) must be reflected when combining the signal received from the repeater (or base station). Can be adjusted accordingly.
In particular, since the ROT changes according to the change of day and night or the season, it is necessary to calculate the ROT accurately and periodically to maintain and improve the performance of the transceiver. Conventionally, ROT is calculated by reading a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value of a transceiver in conjunction with a modem of a base station in a state where a call is arbitrarily interrupted. ROT also depends on the hardware characteristics of the RF component. Therefore, assuming that only a thermal balance noise signal is applied at a certain temperature, the ROT varies with the gain and noise figure of the RF component. In addition, since the ROT changes with temperature, the ROT should be newly calculated and compensated when the daily crossover is large or the seasonal change occurs.
In the presence of an arc, the ROT measurement is inaccurate, so in order to accurately calculate the relative value of ROT, it is necessary to know the ROT value without the arc accurately. To this end, conventionally, the ROT value is measured by switching to a measurement mode that excludes a call at night without a call in conjunction with a modem. However, the noise measured in the absence of a call is different from the ROT under the condition that there is a real call with thermal noise as well as other noise.
Provided are a method and a multichannel transceiver for measuring a reference thermal noise (ROT) of a multichannel transceiver during service operation without interrupting a call.
Multi-channel transceiver according to an embodiment of the present invention, the RSSI measuring device operable to measure the received signal strength indication (RSSI) of the received signal for each channel; And selecting two adjacent channels based on the RSSI for each channel, setting the adjacent channels to a narrow band region, converting the RSSI of the narrow band region to rise over thermal noise (ROT), and converting the ROT into a multi-channel transceiver. And a control unit operative to register with a new ROT. The multi-channel transceiver serves as a relay between the base station and the mobile communication terminal.
The multi-channel transceiver includes an RF signal processing unit operable to amplify and filter the transmission signal of the base station; An analog / digital converter (ADC) operable to convert the output signal of the RF signal processor into a digital signal; A plurality of baseband frequency converters operative to separate the output signal of the ADC into a multi-channel signal; A Frequency Allocation (FA) processing unit operable to amplify and filter the output signal of each of the baseband frequency converters; And a baseband variable frequency converter operable to downconvert the frequency band of the narrowband region.
The controller may calculate an average value of the RSSIs of two adjacent channels, select two adjacent channels having the smallest average value of the RSSI, and set the narrowband region. The controller may control the RSSI measurer to measure the RSSI of the narrowband region when the RSSI of each adjacent channel having the smallest RSSI average value is smaller than a reference RSSI.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a method for setting reference row noise (ROT) of a multi-channel transceiver includes: setting a narrow band region between two adjacent channels among a plurality of channels; Measuring an RSSI of the narrowband region; Converting the RSSI of the narrow band region into rise over thermal noise (ROT); And registering the ROT as a new ROT of the multi-channel transceiver.
The setting of the narrow band region may include measuring a received signal strength indication (RSSI) of a received signal for each channel; Calculating the RSSI average of adjacent channels; Searching for two adjacent channels having the smallest RSSI average value; Determining whether an RSSI of each searched adjacent channel is smaller than a preset reference RSSI; And setting the narrow band region between the two adjacent channels if the RSSI of each of the searched adjacent channels is smaller than a reference RSSI.
After converting the RSSI of the narrowband region to the ROT, the method may further include determining whether the ROT is within a predetermined size range, and if the ROT is within a predetermined size range, converting the converted ROT into a new ROT of a multi-channel transceiver. You can register with
According to the present invention, the multi-channel transceiver can calculate the reference thermal noise (ROT) of the transceiver relatively accurately even during service operation without any interruption of the call. In addition, coverage can be properly adjusted by compensating for the signal size of the transceiver with a more accurately calculated ROT.
Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of the present invention.

The multi-channel transceiver of the present invention measures the strength of a received signal for each channel, that is, received signal strength indication (RSSI), selects two adjacent channels (3FA, 4FA) having a small RSSI as shown in FIG. The narrow band region (guard band) is set between (3FA and 4FA). The RSSI of the narrowband region is converted into an ROT, and if the ROT obtained from the RSSI is within a predetermined size range, the ROT is registered as a new ROT of the multi-channel transceiver.
To implement this, as shown in FIG. 3, the

Since there is no communication signal in the ideal narrowband region, only reference thermal noise (ROT) can be measured. In practice, however, if the signals of the channels adjacent to the narrowband region are large, there is a signal leaking into the narrowband region. Therefore, the narrowband region should be set between two channels with the smallest RSSI. To this end, the
In addition, the

Under the control of the
The
As a result of the step ST43, if the RSSI of the two channels 3FA and 4FA is not smaller than the reference RSSI, the ROT measurement procedure is terminated.
If the RSSI of each of the two channels 3FA and 4FA is smaller than the reference RSSI, a narrow band region is set between two adjacent channels 3FA and 4FA, and the RSSI of the narrow band region is measured (ST44).
The RSSI of the narrow band region is converted into an ROT (ST45), and it is determined whether the ROT converted from the RSSI is within a predetermined size range (ST46). If the ROT converted from the RSSI is within a certain size range, the ROT is registered as a new ROT of the multi-channel transceiver (ST47) and ends. With the newly registered ROT, the cell radius (coverage) of the multi-channel transceiver is adjusted.
According to the present invention, the ROT that changes from time to time depending on the environment, such as temperature, can be measured by the multi-channel transceiver alone, even in the presence of a call so that the cell radius can be adjusted.
