The embodiment of the invention provides a leaky cable control method and a leaky cable, the leaky cable control method comprises the following steps: providing the leaky cable, dividing the leaky cable into at least an initial section, a transition section and a
tail section, arranging one or more
radiation units in each of the initial section, the transition section and the
tail section, arranging the initial section at two ends close to the leaky cable, and arranging the transition section between the initial section and the
tail section; and controlling the performance parameters and / or the structure parameters of the
radiation units in the initial section, the transition section and / or the tail section, so that the
transmission performance of the initial section is superior to that of the transition section and the tail section, and the
radiation performance of the leaky cable of the tail section is superior to that of the transition section and the initial section. In this way, 5G
signal energy can be evenly distributed in the leaky cable, the levels of the signals from the
initial segment to the tail segment are nearly the same, useless consumption caused by too
high energy at the
initial segment is avoided, the coverage distance of 5G information source equipment can be greatly increased, and the 5G communication
wireless coverage problem in long and narrow areas such as subways and high-speed railway tunnels is solved.
