Reconfigurable wireless node and method for cooperative work with wireless access point of macro cell

Abstract

The invention discloses a reconfigurable wireless node, which comprises a first communication device, a second communication device and a coaxial cable providing an analogue channel and a digital channel for communication between the first and second communication devices, wherein the analogue channel is used for transmitting a radio frequency signal in a radio frequency repeating way from a receiving antenna of the first communication device to a transmission antenna of the second communication device, or transmitting the radio frequency signal in the radio frequency repeating way from a receiving antenna of the second communication device to a transmission antenna of the first communication device; and the digital channel is used for transmitting data and control information from the first communication device to the second communication device or from the second communication device to the first communication device. The invention also discloses a method for cooperative work between the reconfigurable wireless node and a wireless access point of a macro cell. By the reconfigurable wireless node and the method, the categories of hardware platforms are reduced, the production and maintenance cost of the product is decreased, and the interference of the wireless node of a micro cell in the macro cell can be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a reconfigurable wireless node and a method for cooperating with a macrocell wireless access point. Background technique [0002] Currently, in the long-term evolution (LTE, Long Term Evolution) standard discussion of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project), analog radio frequency signal direct amplification (RF repeater), digital repeater (Digital Relay), The home base station (Home NodeB) is standardized and discussed as an independent research topic according to its different application scenarios. However, in the design of actual commercial products, in order to reduce the types of products and simplify the implementation of products, a unified implementation is required. Architecture, in order to share hardware and software resources among different usage scenarios and working modes, and reduce the design, manufacturing and main...
