[0032] Example 1

[0033] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a multifunctional communication base station.

[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , the multifunctional communication base station includes:

[0035] A router 100, at least one base station unit 200 and at least one power-consuming device 300;

[0036] The router 100 includes a WAN interface 103, at least one LAN interface 101 and at least one dual-purpose interface 102 for networking and power supply;

[0037] Each of the LAN interfaces 101 is connected to each of the base station units 200 in a one-to-one correspondence, and each of the dual-purpose networking and power supply interfaces 102 is connected to each of the power-consuming devices 300 in a one-to-one correspondence;

[0038] The WAN interface 103 is used to connect to the core network 400 of the communication network.

[0039] In this embodiment, the local area network (LAN) interface is mainly used to connect the router to the local area network, and the wide area network (WAN) interface is mainly used to connect the router to the core network of the communication network to realize data communication between the multifunctional communication base station and the core network. The base station unit 200 is mainly used to realize the wireless communication function, and the base station units 200 of different operators operate in different frequency bands. In a specific implementation, the multifunctional communication base station may include multiple LAN interfaces 101 and multiple base station units 200, each LAN interface 101 is connected to each base station unit 200 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the router 100 controls different base station units 200 to work in different time periods. In addition, the power-consuming device 300 can be a video surveillance device, a high-speed snapshot surveillance device, and a WiFi device, which is not limited here.

[0040] In one implementation, the router includes an MT7621 chip, and the MT7621 chip is connected to the WAN interface and each of the LAN interfaces respectively.

[0041] It should be noted that the MT7621 chip is a highly integrated chip with high performance and unimpeded transmission. The MT7621 chip includes a 5-port Gigabit Ethernet data link layer (Medium Access Control, MAC) interface and a 5-port Gigabit Ethernet physical layer (Port Physical Layer, PHY). The MT7621 chip has advanced energy-saving functions to meet market needs. The MT7621 chip complies with the cable length and link power-off energy-saving mode of IEEE803.3az Energy-Saving Ethernet.

[0042] It should be noted that if there is no router for routing management, the core network needs to allocate multiple IP addresses to the multifunctional communication base station, which will greatly consume the resources of the core network. In this embodiment, routing management is performed by the router, and the base station unit and other power-consuming devices form a local area network. The core network only needs to provide an IP address for the router. The local area network IP address of each LAN interface can be set inside the router. The following two methods can be used to allocate the network IP address: one method is: the router directly sets the fixed local area network IP address of each LAN interface; the other method is: the router allocates the local area network IP address according to the power-on sequence of each LAN interface. For example, the starting address of the route is 192.168.0.1, then the local area network IP address allocated to the first LAN interface that is powered on is 192.168.0.1, and the local area network IP address of the second LAN interface that is powered on is 192.168.0.2, and so on. In this way, the router can effectively manage the WAN interface and LAN interface, and only needs to provide one IP address for the core network, reducing the number of core network interfaces and simplifying the management workload.

[0043] The multifunctional communication base station provided in this embodiment supplies power to electrical equipment through a networked power supply dual-use interface, which facilitates the access of other electrical equipment, makes various electrical equipment compatible with the base station hardware resources, improves the deployment and installation convenience of electrical equipment, and reduces the installation and deployment costs of various types of electrical equipment.

[0044] See also Figure 2 , the router 100 also includes a power supply controller; each of the dual-purpose networking and power supply interfaces 102 includes a LAN interface 101 and a PSE interface 1020;

[0045] The power supply controller is connected to each of the PSE interfaces 1020 , respectively.

[0046] In this embodiment, the power supply equipment (Power Sourcing Equipment, PSE) interface 1021 can provide access channels for other power-consuming devices, and can conveniently power other power-consuming devices. For example, a base station is deployed on a highway to provide wireless signal coverage, and a camera is also needed to monitor driving. The multifunctional communication base station provided by this embodiment can be connected to a camera through a networked power supply dual-purpose interface, and the PSE interface of the networked power supply dual-purpose interface can power the camera, and the LAN interface of the networked power supply dual-purpose interface can provide a video data channel for the camera.

[0047] It should be noted that in Figure 2 The power supply controller is not shown in the figure. The power supply controller can use the BCM59121 chip. The BCM59121 chip includes multiple voltage output pins, which can provide different voltage values. The BCM59121 chip can provide 8 PSE interfaces. In order to simplify the circuit design, a smaller number of PSE interfaces can also be provided. For example, the BCM59121 chip is designed to provide 3 PSE interfaces, and the 3 PSE interfaces are connected to 3 power-consuming devices one by one, so that the 3 power-consuming devices can be powered.

[0048] In this embodiment, each PSE interface can provide 60W power supply to meet the power supply requirements of monitoring equipment such as video monitoring and speeding capture.

[0049] See also Figure 3 , each of the PSE interfaces includes an RJ45 interface 1021 and two network port transformers 1022, a first input terminal 1023 of the RJ45 interface 1021 and a first voltage output pin 1041 of the power supply controller 104 are connected via a first branch 105, and a second input terminal 1024 of the RJ45 interface 1021 and a second voltage output pin 1042 of the power supply controller 104 are connected via a second branch 106;

[0050] The first output terminal 1025 and the second output terminal 1026 of the RJ45 interface are respectively connected to the input terminal 10221 of each network port transformer 1022 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the output terminal 10222 of each network port transformer 1022 is used to connect to the corresponding electrical device 300.

[0051] In one implementation, a filtering and voltage stabilizing unit is disposed between the first branch 105 and the second branch 106 .

[0052] Please refer again Figure 3 The filtering and voltage stabilizing unit includes a filtering capacitor 1028 and a diode 1027, and the filtering capacitor 1028 and the diode 1027 are connected in parallel.

[0053] Among them, the filter capacitor 1028 can be an ordinary capacitor, which has a filtering and voltage stabilizing function, and the diode 1027 has a voltage prevention function and has a circuit protection function.

[0054] In one implementation, the power supply controller 104 is a BCM59121 chip.

[0055] When the BCM59121 chip is used as the power supply controller, the number of PSE interfaces can be determined based on the structure of the BCM59121 chip, and the number of network power supply dual-purpose interfaces can be determined by the number of PSE interfaces. Specifically, when the power supply controller 104 is the BCM59121 chip, the number of network power supply dual-purpose interfaces is an integer between 1 and 8.

[0056] In one embodiment, the number of connectable power-consuming devices can be determined by the number of networked power supply dual-purpose interfaces, and when the number of networked power supply dual-purpose interfaces is an integer between 1 and 8, the number of power-consuming devices is an integer between 1 and 8. For example, if the number of networked power supply dual-purpose interfaces is 8, the number of power-consuming devices can be an integer between 1 and 8, and a corresponding number of power-consuming devices can be connected according to user needs. If the number of networked power supply dual-purpose interfaces is 1, the number of power-consuming devices is at most 1. If the number of networked power supply dual-purpose interfaces is 5, the number of power-consuming devices is at most 5, and a corresponding number of power-consuming devices can also be connected according to user needs, for example, 4 power-consuming devices can be connected.

[0057] In one implementation, the electrical device 300 includes at least one of the following: a monitoring device, a WIFI module, and a lighting device.

[0058] Please refer again Figure 2 , the monitoring device 301 is connected to a networked power supply dual-purpose interface 102, the WiFi module 302 is connected to another networked power supply dual-purpose interface 102, and the lamp device 303 is connected to another networked power supply dual-purpose interface 102. Among them, the router 100 can provide Internet access and power supply for the monitoring device 301, the WiFi module 302 and the lamp device 303. The lamp device 303 can be a smart lamp, such as a traffic control indicator light.

[0059] In this way, the multifunctional communication base station can be connected to monitoring equipment, lighting equipment, and WiFi modules, and power the monitoring equipment, lighting equipment, and WiFi modules respectively through the networked power supply dual-use interface, making the base station compatible with monitoring equipment, lighting equipment, WiFi modules and other electrical equipment, simplifying the deployment and installation steps and costs of monitoring equipment, lighting equipment, and WiFi modules, and improving resource utilization efficiency.

The multifunctional communication base station supplies power to the power-consuming device through the dual-purpose interface for networking and power supply, which facilitates the access of other power-consuming devices, makes various power-consuming devices compatible with the hardware resources of the base station, improves the convenience of deployment and installation of power-consuming devices, and reduces the installation and deployment costs of various types of power-consuming devices.
