Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a repeater system fault detection method and device, a storage medium and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a wireless communication system, a repeater plays a crucial role. It receives the signal sent by the base station, amplifies it, and then sends it out, thereby expanding the coverage of the wireless signal. A repeater system is usually composed of an antenna unit and a radio frequency unit, which are connected through optical fiber or other transmission media to achieve long-distance signal transmission.

[0003] In existing repeater systems, in order to ensure the stability and reliability of signal transmission, the current and voltage of key components in the system are usually monitored. This monitoring method can timely detect hardware faults that directly affect the current and voltage, such as power supply problems, poor connections, or damage to some key components. When these components have problems, the network management platform can receive an alarm signal for processing. However, more hardware link faults do not directly affect the current and voltage. For these hardware link faults, it is often difficult to monitor using this method. Usually, it is not until the repeater malfunctions that maintenance personnel realize it, which brings a bad experience to users. At the same time, even if maintenance personnel realize that the repeater is malfunctioning, they cannot quickly locate the abnormal hardware link of the repeater because the antenna unit and the radio frequency unit of the repeater are usually far apart, and multiple radio frequency units are scattered. In addition, the hardware links in the antenna unit and the radio frequency unit are complex, and it will take a lot of time to check them one by one.
