Method and device for configuring and updating broadcast beam weight number

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for configuring and updating a broadcast beam weight number, comprising the following steps: generating and storing a static file corresponding to each combination of an antenna manufacturer name, an antenna model, an antenna sub frequency band and an antenna half-power angle in advance; assigning the antenna manufacturer name, the antenna model, the antenna sub frequency band and the antenna half-power angle to a base station when configuring the broadcast beam weight number by an OMC-R or LMT-B; and increasing the static file used for storing the broadcast beam weight number information and downloading the static file to each base station supporting the broadcast beam weight number stored in the static file when increasing the broadcast beam weight number by the OMC-R. The invention also discloses a method for configuring and updating a broadcast beam weight number at a base station side, and a base station management device as well as a base stationstructure. By utilizing the invention, the weight number updating process can be simplified, and the existing broadcast beam weight number can not be influenced.

Description

Method and device for configuring and updating broadcast beam weights technical field The invention relates to smart antenna technology, in particular to a method and device for configuring and updating broadcast beam weights. Background technique A smart antenna is an array structure antenna composed of N single antennas with the same orientation arranged according to a certain structure. A specific amplitude and phase excitation is applied to the smart antenna array to form a coverage pattern of an omnidirectional cell or sector, which is used for PCCPCH channels Omni-directional cell or sector coverage. This specific magnitude and phase is called the broadcast beam weight. The smart antenna is different from the traditional single-channel antenna. The traditional single-channel antenna has a fixed pattern within the frequency band. The smart antenna can implement different beam shapes through different weights for omnidirectional cell or sector coverage. The broadca...

Problems solved by technology

Based on the above configuration method, when configuring broadcast beam weights, when operators in various regions add broadcast beam weights in OMC-R, due to the inconsistency of static files of different base stations, it is impossible to configure all OMC-Rs of the entire operator. The broadcast beam weights added at any time are uniformly numbered and written into the static file, which will cause antenna number confusion, and the equipment manufacturer must uniformly number the broadcast beam weights required by the operator, and then write them into the static file. And update the broadcast beam weights saved in the base station by upgrading the base station version

It can be seen from the above-mentioned existing broadcast beam weight configuration and update methods that although only the antenna number needs to be transmitted between the OMC-R and the base station when configuring the broadcast beam weight value, since the static file of the specific antenna number is stored in the base station Therefore, the update of broadcast beam weights needs to be participated by equipment manufacturers, and the update process is relatively complicated, which is easy to affect the existing broadcast beam weights in the base station
