Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] With the rapid development of mobile communication networks, the demand for communication base stations is increasing. During the communication process, synchronization between base stations is often required. The synchronization between base stations is usually achieved based on the received reference synchronization signal. However, in the actual process, in order to ensure the reliability of the transmission of the reference synchronization signal, multiple reference synchronization signals are usually provided, so it is necessary to select a suitable reference synchronization signal from the multiple reference synchronization signals.
[0046] In the prior art, a plurality of synchronization signals are detected by using preset synchronization signal monitoring software, and a synchronization signal is determined from the detected synchronization signals as the synchronization signal source of each base station. However, this method has the problem of low real-time performance.
[0047] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a switching device for a synchronization signal, the switching device includes: a plurality of monitoring devices and a multiplexer, the plurality of monitoring devices are respectively connected to the multiplexer, the multiplexer includes a plurality of groups of transmission channels, and the plurality of monitoring devices, the plurality of groups of transmission channels and the plurality of synchronization signals correspond to each other one by one.

[0048] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of a synchronous signal switching device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the switching device 10 includes: multiple monitoring devices 101 and a multiplexer 102, the multiple monitoring devices 101 are respectively connected to the multiplexer 102, the multiplexer 102 includes multiple groups of transmission channels, and the multiple monitoring devices 101, the multiple groups of transmission channels and the multiple synchronization signals correspond to each other one by one.
[0049] Each monitoring device 101 is used to monitor whether a synchronization signal corresponding to the monitoring device 101 is received, generate a detection signal according to the monitoring result, and transmit the detection signal to the multiplexer 102 .
[0050] The multiplexer 102 is used to determine the target group transmission channel from multiple groups of transmission channels according to the detection signals transmitted by each monitoring device 101 and the priorities of the preset multiple synchronization signals, and output the target synchronization signal corresponding to the target group transmission channel to the target device through the target group transmission channel.
[0051] Among them, the base station is generally synchronized by receiving a 1-second pulse (PPS) signal. Currently, the 1PPS pulse signals that can provide 1PPS pulses include the 1PPS pulse signal of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver, the 1PPS pulse signal of the TOD system, and the 1PSS pulse signal recovered by 1588. According to the accuracy of the synchronization signal and the difficulty of obtaining it, the 1PPS pulse signal of the GNSS receiver is used as the first priority synchronization signal, the 1PPS pulse signal of the TOD system is used as the second priority synchronization signal, and the 1PSS pulse signal recovered by 1588 is used as the third priority pulse signal.
[0052] It should be noted that due to the influence of various uncertain factors, there may be a situation where a certain pulse fails to be output. In order to ensure the accuracy and stability of the timing synchronization of the wireless base station, these three pulses need to be switched. The target synchronization signal is determined according to the priority of the synchronization signal for data synchronization of the base station.
[0053] Optional, such as Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring device 101 includes: a detection module 1011 and a processing module 1012 .
[0054] The detection module 1011 is used to monitor in real time whether the synchronization signal corresponding to the monitoring device 101 is received, and output a reference detection signal according to the monitoring result; the processing module 1012 is used to perform signal conversion processing on the reference detection signal to obtain a detection signal.
[0055] Specifically, the detection module 1011 includes a timer circuit, which is used to monitor in real time whether a corresponding synchronization signal is received and output a reference detection signal according to the detection result.
[0056] The processing module 1012 includes an inverter and an oscillator; the inverter is used to perform signal inversion processing on the reference detection signal to obtain a reverse detection signal; the oscillator is used to perform signal stabilization processing on the reverse detection signal to obtain a detection signal.
[0057] It should be noted that the timer circuit can be a watchdog monitoring chip of the SGM820 model, and the oscillator is a retriggerable monostable multivibrator SN74LVC1G123. The main feature of SGM820 is that if there is a pulse of the corresponding synchronization signal detected within 1.4s, it will output a high level. If no pulse is detected within 1.4s, it will output a low level signal of 170ms to 230ms, and then change to a high level again. If no pulse is detected within 1.4s, it will continue to output a low level signal until a normal 1PPS pulse is detected. It also supports a minimum pulse width of 50ns, which is very suitable for the detection of 1PPS pulses.
[0058] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a detection signal provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 The first signal in the figure is a schematic diagram of the reference detection signal output by the timer circuit according to the monitoring result. Figure 3 The second signal in is the detection signal generated after the reference detection signal passes through the inverter and the oscillator.
[0059] After the reference detection signal passes through the inverter, if there is a 1PPS pulse synchronization signal, it will continuously output a low level. If the 1PPS pulse synchronization signal is lost, it will repeatedly output a high level with a pulse width of 170 to 230ms. When this signal passes through the oscillator, it outputs a low level when it is low, and outputs a high level when there is a high and low level change, that is, the 1PPS pulse synchronization signal is output when it exists, and the 1PPS pulse synchronization signal is lost. The combination of the above devices generates high and low levels to determine whether the 1PPS synchronization signal exists.
[0060] Specifically, the internal structure diagram of the oscillator is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, in order to ensure Figure 3 The tw length of the pulse signal can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance and capacitance values inside the oscillator. Wherein, tw = K × R × C, where K is a preset constant, R is a resistance value, and C is a capacitance value.
[0061] In one embodiment, the multiplexer 102 includes a plurality of preset pins, each of which corresponds to a plurality of monitoring devices 101. The multiplexer 102 is specifically used for:
[0062] Respectively use the preset pins corresponding to the monitoring devices 101 to receive each detection signal, and determine the target group transmission channel according to the level state of each detection signal and the priority of each synchronization signal;
[0063] According to the mapping relationship between each synchronization signal and each group of transmission channels, a target synchronization signal corresponding to the target group transmission channel is output to the target device through the target group transmission channel.
[0064] Specifically, the multiplexer 102 is specifically used to: determine the group transmission channel corresponding to the synchronization signal of the first priority as the target group transmission channel; if the level status of the detection signal indicates that the synchronization signal corresponding to the first priority has not been received, then determine the group transmission channel corresponding to the synchronization signal of the second priority as the target group transmission channel; if the level status of the detection signal indicates that the synchronization signal corresponding to the second priority has not been received, then determine the group transmission channel corresponding to the synchronization signal of the third priority as the target group transmission channel.
[0065] Optionally, the multiplexer 102 further includes a suspended channel, and the multiplexer 102 is further configured to: if each detection signal indicates that the corresponding synchronization signal is not received, determine the suspended channel as the target group transmission channel.
[0066] Wherein, each group of transmission channels includes a plurality of transmission channels, and the switching device 10 further includes a buffer;
[0067] The buffer is used to divide each synchronization signal into multiple channels, and each channel of the target synchronization signal corresponds to a transmission channel in each group of transmission channels.
[0068] The multiplexer 102 may be a CD4051 multiplexer 102. After the three synchronization signals pass through the monitoring device 101, they may be multiplexed and selected through an 8:1 analog switch. Specifically, they may be allocated according to the data in Table 1.
[0069] Table 1 Correspondence between synchronization signals and transmission channels
[0070]
[0071] As shown in Table 1, the detection level of 1PPS is connected to the ABC channel selection on the CD4051 multiplexer. When the first priority GNSS detection level is 0, it means that the first priority 1PPS always exists. Channel selections 0 1 2 3 are all connected to the GNSS 1PPS. In this way, regardless of whether the second and third priority 1PPS exist or not, the first priority is selected. Similarly, when the first priority 1PPS fails, the C pin is pulled high and the B pin is pulled low, and the second priority 1PPS starts to switch to the output channel. Regardless of whether the third priority 1PPS exists or not, the second priority is selected until the second priority 1PPS also fails. The third priority starts switching operation. During this process, if the high priority 1PPS returns to normal, it can automatically switch to the high priority channel. If all three 1PPS fail, switch to the suspended 7th channel.
[0072] The embodiment of the present application provides a switching device 10 for a synchronization signal, and the switching device 10 includes: a plurality of monitoring devices 101 and a multiplexer 102, wherein the plurality of monitoring devices 101 are respectively connected to the multiplexer 102, and the multiplexer 102 includes a plurality of groups of transmission channels, and the plurality of monitoring devices 101, the plurality of groups of transmission channels and the plurality of synchronization signals correspond to each other one by one. Each monitoring device 101 is used to monitor whether a synchronization signal corresponding to the monitoring device 101 is received, and to generate a detection signal according to the monitoring result, and to transmit the detection signal to the multiplexer 102; the multiplexer 102 determines a target group transmission channel from the plurality of transmission channels according to the detection signal transmitted by each monitoring device 101 and the priority of the preset synchronization signal, and outputs a target synchronization signal corresponding to the target group transmission channel to the target device through the target group transmission channel. The switching device 10 can determine the target group transmission channel according to the real-time detection signal of each monitoring device 101, and transmit the target synchronization signal to the target device through the target group transmission channel, so that the target device can synchronize data according to the target synchronization signal, which can improve the real-time performance of the synchronization signal. At the same time, the switching device 10 provided by the present application does not require additional processors or maintenance of additional software to achieve the monitoring and switching of synchronization signals. Furthermore, compared with the prior art, the switching device 10 of the synchronization signal provided by the present application automatically switches and recovers according to the priority setting through a pure hardware solution, without the need for complex software monitoring and processing, and without the need for software maintenance.
