[0025] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provides a detailed implementation method and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] A converged on-board communication device for rail transit, based on 4G or 5G broadband public network, provides secure professional communications on the public network, and can also support self-built private network to carry key communication services, and can provide audio and video converged command and dispatch communications for rail transit train drivers. The key communication standard MCx adopted by 3GPP is fully compatible with 4G / 5G mainstream technology and can be built as an application layer on the 4G / 5G network. The key business software of the device runs on standard Android or Hongmeng smart terminals, providing mission-critical services based on 3GPP to meet the dispatching function requirements of rail transit cluster communications.

[0028] The device of the present invention is as follows Figure 1 As shown, a fusion vehicle-mounted communication device for rail transit is mainly composed of a power supply unit 101, a control unit 102, a radio frequency unit 103, a radio frequency antenna 104 and an operation terminal 105.

[0029] The power supply unit 101 can convert the DC 110V or 24V provided by the rail transit vehicle into a DC 13.8V locomotive operating voltage used by each unit, and supply power to units such as the control unit, the radio frequency unit and the operation terminal.

[0030] The control unit 102 is the control core of the host, controls the network control access of the radio frequency unit, and provides a variety of network bearer service interfaces for the vehicle to use. Using an embedded ARM microcontroller and an embedded Linux operating system, the controller integrates an Ethernet port, a serial port, and an analog audio interface to connect with other professional interfaces on the vehicle. The software running on the control unit 102 controls the network control access process of the radio frequency unit 103.

[0031] The radio frequency unit 103 is used for data conversion between the wired network and the wireless network to realize real-time data transmission. The radio frequency unit 103 can select narrowband cluster TETRA, DMR or broadband communication LTE-M, public network 4G / 5G or cluster communication carried by the next generation wireless communication network, and transmit data in the public network through a secure encrypted pipeline through tunnel technologies such as VPN, APN, VPDN, encryption, identity authentication and other methods. The radio frequency unit can also choose a dedicated wireless broadband network that is independently built or sliced ​​from the public network to realize end-to-end virtual private network services to ensure the reliability of its services.

[0032] The radio frequency unit 103 uses a 5G Internet access module with a Mini PCIe standard interface to achieve data conversion between broadband wired networks and wireless networks, and to achieve real-time data transmission. The radio frequency unit selects the public 5G mobile communication network by default, connects to the cluster core network through encrypted APN tunnel technology for encryption and authentication, and achieves reliable transmission of cluster service data.

[0033] The RF antenna 104 is a Massive MIMO antenna of the 5G frequency band, which is generally installed at two locations, the roof and the bottom of the vehicle. Through the POI combiner platform, it provides antenna access function for multiple devices on the vehicle.

[0034] The operation terminal 105 runs the dispatch communication software based on the MCx service to realize the cluster dispatch communication function. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it is a large-size touch-screen operation terminal device for Android or Hongmeng operating system, which provides a handset handle for calls. The operation terminal is the human-machine operation interface between the driver and the integrated vehicle communication device, supports both touch and key operation modes, and has high usability.

[0035] The present invention supports the integrated communication between TETRA and the next-generation 5G PTT, and can well meet the smooth transition from TETRA narrowband cluster to 5G broadband cluster. During the transformation and implementation process, it neither affects the daily operation of rail transit nor changes the dispatching and operating communication mode. After the transformation is completed, it can protect the existing asset investment and continue to use the 5G PTT broadband cluster scheduling function.

[0036] This solution has the advantages of low network construction cost, convenient remote maintenance, support for narrowband TETRA and broadband cluster interconnection, and support for external expert encrypted access interconnection.

[0037] The 3GPP MCx standard adopted in this solution is based on the 5G standard. It follows the evolution of international mainstream standards and is more internationally applicable. It is easier to achieve interconnection and interoperability than traditional cluster standards such as TETRA and B-TrunC.

[0038] The 5G PTT converged communication of this solution is a solution launched based on the 3GPP MCPTT series standards. It can provide audio and video converged command and dispatch communications for key communication users on the move. It is based on 4G or 5G broadband public networks, providing secure professional communications on the public network, reducing the investment cost of existing basic network construction.

[0039] This solution has higher availability. The 5GPTT service runs in a virtualized environment, allowing the use of virtual resources without having to take into account the fault tolerance of hardware components.

[0040] The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above. It should be understood that a person skilled in the art can make many modifications and changes based on the concept of the present invention without creative work. Therefore, any technical solution that can be obtained by a person skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments based on the concept of the present invention on the basis of the prior art should be within the scope of protection determined by the claims.
