Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication technology, and in particular to a novel digital wireless repeater system. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, the coverage requirements of mobile communication networks are constantly increasing. In scenarios with a large coverage area, the signal strength will attenuate due to factors such as distance and obstacles, resulting in a decrease in communication quality. For this reason, digital wireless repeaters, as a commonly used coverage enhancement device, play an important role in the optimization of mobile communication networks.
[0003] Traditional digital wireless repeaters mainly rely on fixed parameters or prior information (such as communication standards, frequency bands, bandwidths, etc.) to amplify signals; however, this approach has the following problems: waste of resources and high energy consumption. Traditional repeaters usually perform full-bandwidth amplification processing on signals in the entire frequency band. This approach not only fails to distinguish between valid and invalid signals, but may also amplify noise, interference signals, and non-target signals, resulting in waste of resources and increased system energy consumption.
[0004] Insufficient adaptability and intelligence. Existing repeaters usually need to rely on prior configuration when facing multi-standard, multi-band, and multi-band signals. For example, the frequency bands and standards of different operators are different, and the communication standards may change dynamically. It is difficult for repeaters to make timely adaptive adjustments, which easily leads to inaccurate amplification processing.
[0005] Lack of dynamic processing capability for multi-standard signals As the communication standard transitions from 4G LTE to 5G NR, signal standards and frequency bands become more complex, especially in scenarios where both FDD (frequency division duplex) and TDD (time division duplex) standards need to be supported. Traditional repeaters usually use independent modules to process FDD and TDD signals respectively, resulting in a significant increase in system complexity and cost.
[0006] Therefore, a new type of digital wireless repeater system is proposed. Summary of the invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems that the existing repeaters amplify the full-band signals and cannot distinguish between valid and invalid signals, resulting in waste of resources and increased energy consumption; the existing repeaters are difficult to adapt to the dynamic changes of multi-standard, multi-band, and multi-bandwidth signals, rely on prior configurations, lack adaptive adjustment capabilities, and lack the ability to dynamically process multi-standard signals.

[0073] Preferably, after receiving the control instruction from the MCU core main control module, the TDD RF signal processing subsystem A and the FDD RF signal processing subsystem A can dynamically adjust the gain and power according to the signal characteristic information, including dynamically adjusting the passband width of the filter to suppress out-of-band noise interference; performing limiting control on the power output of the target frequency signal; dynamically adjusting the gain setting according to the change of signal strength to adapt to different signal strengths and interference levels; adjusting the signal power output according to the change of SINR to ensure the optimal signal quality; considering the gain adjustment strategy of different frequency bands to ensure that the dynamic adjustment gain in different frequency bands can achieve the best signal quality and power consumption balance.
[0074] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0075] 1. In the present invention, a signal characteristic analysis module is introduced, which does not blindly amplify the signal of the entire bandwidth, nor does it require any prior information (standard, frequency band, bandwidth, number of carriers, etc.). It can detect and analyze the characteristic information of the actual working signal standard, frequency band, frequency point, bandwidth, number of carriers, etc. in real time and adaptively. Combined with the signal characteristic information obtained by the detection, it can efficiently amplify the uplink and downlink signals for specific standards, specific frequencies, specific bandwidths, and specific numbers of carriers, thereby reducing energy waste and greatly reducing costs.

In the present invention, signal path self-optimization is introduced, so that the system can adaptively adjust the signal path, power allocation, spectrum sharing and channel coding strategy according to the real-time signal quality evaluation results. This intelligent processing method improves the efficiency and reliability of signal transmission, ensures the optimal selection of signal transmission path and efficient use of system resources. In addition, the multi-channel RF transceiver subsystem adopts a multi-channel RF transceiver, which can process TDD and FDD signals in parallel, improving the efficiency of signal processing and the overall performance of the system. At the same time, the design of the donor-end multiplexer and the retransmitter-end multiplexer enables the system to support signal processing of both TDD and FDD standards.

[0108] Record the N1 frequency band, the effective bandwidth of the signal at this frequency point number.
[0109] Then, for other frequency point numbers in the N1 frequency band, the processing method of step 1 is adopted until the processing of the M frequency point numbers in the N1 frequency band is completed;
[0110] Then, for the N5 frequency band, the processing methods of step 1 and step 2 are used to record the corresponding frequency band information, frequency point number information, and bandwidth information;

[0116] Transmitting step: Use the retransmitting antenna to transmit the optimized signal to the end user.
[0117] In one embodiment, signal reception and preprocessing:
[0118] In digital wireless systems, signal reception and preprocessing involves the entire process from when the signal is received at the antenna until it is ready for further processing:
[0119] Donor Antenna:
[0120] The donor antenna is the receiving end of the wireless system, responsible for receiving the signal propagated in the air. Its working principle and design goal are to improve the sensitivity and quality of the received signal.
[0121] Receiving sensitivity requirements:
[0122] The donor antenna needs to have a high receiving sensitivity to ensure that it can capture weak signals and accurately transmit them to the subsequent signal processing module. The improvement of sensitivity is usually achieved by increasing the receiving area of the antenna and optimizing the gain and directivity of the antenna.
[0123] Ways to improve reception performance:
[0124] In order to improve the reception performance, array antenna technology can be used to enhance the sensitivity and directivity of signal reception through the collaborative work of multiple antennas. In addition, the use of appropriate antenna shape and material can effectively reduce the impact of signal attenuation and environmental noise and enhance the quality of the signal.
[0125] Donor-side duplexer:
[0126] The duplexer at the donor end is used to achieve frequency isolation between uplink signals and downlink signals, thereby avoiding mutual interference between the two types of signals.
[0127] Frequency Separation:
[0128] The duplexer separates the uplink signal from the downlink signal through frequency selective filtering. The uplink signal usually uses a lower frequency band, while the downlink signal uses a higher frequency band. The duplexer can effectively isolate and switch between these two frequency bands, thereby achieving two-way communication.
[0129] Isolation of uplink and downlink signals:
[0130] The filters within the duplexer can provide good isolation performance between the uplink and downlink frequencies, ensuring that the signals in each signal path do not interfere with each other, improving the signal quality and stability of the system.
[0131] Uplink and downlink radio frequency signal processing subsystem A:
[0132] Low noise amplifier (LNA): The received signal is often very weak, so it needs to be amplified by a low noise amplifier (LNA). The role of LNA is to minimize the introduction of additional noise while ensuring that the signal strength is sufficient for subsequent processing. The uplink signal is initially amplified to improve the signal's SNR (signal-to-noise ratio). The gain calculation formula of LNA is:
[0133]
[0134] Among them, MaxGain is the maximum gain of LNA, and NoiseFigure is the noise figure. By amplifying only the frequency band and bandwidth of the effective signal, noise amplification can be reduced and signal quality can be improved.
[0135] RF down-conversion module: performs RF down-conversion on the RF signal amplified by LNA and outputs an analog signal with zero intermediate frequency. By selecting the appropriate local oscillator (LO) frequency, the intermediate frequency is calculated:
[0136] f IF =|f RF -f LO |
[0137] Among them, f RF is the RF signal frequency, f LO is the frequency of the local oscillator.
[0138] Filtering: Use a bandpass filter to filter out unwanted frequency components and reduce signal interference. The filter cutoff frequency calculation formula is:
[0139]
[0140] Among them, Bandwidth is the bandwidth of the signal.
[0141] RF transceiver subsystem:
[0142] The RF transceiver subsystem is responsible for the core processing of signal modulation, demodulation, frequency conversion, etc. Through zero intermediate frequency conversion, the RF signal is converted into a baseband signal to simplify the digital processing process. The RF transceiver adopts direct frequency conversion technology to reduce system complexity and cost and improve integration.
[0143] Zero IF technology: Direct frequency conversion technology is used to reduce system complexity and cost and improve integration:
[0144]
[0145] Through a single-chip solution: integrating digital signal processing functions, including ADC, digital up-conversion, digital down-conversion, peak clipping CFR, DAC, etc., to reduce system complexity and cost.
[0146] Uplink and downlink radio frequency signal processing subsystem B:
[0147] Similar processing and amplification are performed on the downlink signal to ensure the consistency of signal processing in the uplink and downlink directions of the system, thereby improving the signal quality and the overall performance of the system.
[0148] Retransmitter duplexer:
[0149] The processed signal is transmitted to the terminal device. The functions of the retransmitter duplexer include:
[0150] Performing frequency synthesis on the processed signal;
[0151] Through filters and isolators, ensure that the retransmitted signal does not interfere with the received signal;
[0152] Provide isolation between the transmitting frequency band and the receiving frequency band to reduce signal interference.
[0153] Retransmission antenna:
[0154] The optimized signal is transmitted to the user equipment through the retransmission antenna. The retransmission antenna needs to ensure high transmission gain and low radiation noise, and usually uses a high-gain antenna to improve transmission performance.
[0155] Signal Coupler:
[0156] The RF signal is obtained from the duplexer at the donor end for signal characteristic analysis within the system. The functions of the signal coupler include:
[0157] Losslessly obtain a portion of the RF signal;
[0158] The acquired signal is passed to the signal characteristic evaluation and time domain synchronization module.
[0159] Signal characteristic evaluation and time domain synchronization module:
[0160] Through time domain synchronization, combined with the analysis function of time domain information and the communication standard detection function, it is used to optimize system performance in TDD signal processing. The specific working principle is as follows:
[0161] Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC): Convert the intermediate-frequency analog signal into a digital signal. Use an ADC with a high sampling rate, and the sampling frequency is 1 Gsps to obtain a time-series signal:
[0162]
[0163] where A(t) is the signal amplitude, f c is the carrier frequency, and
[0164] Normalization: Normalize the signal amplitude to the interval [0, 1] to ensure data consistency and standardization:
[0165]
[0166] where μ x(t) is the mean of the signal, and σ x(t) is the standard deviation of the signal.
[0167] Frequency-domain transformation: Convert the time-domain signal into a frequency-domain signal through the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to extract characteristic information such as the signal's frequency band, frequency point, and bandwidth:
[0168]
[0169] Feature dimensionality reduction: Use the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithm to reduce the dimensionality of the spectral features, simplify the feature vector, and improve the efficiency of the model:
[0170] Z = X · W
[0171] where Z is the feature vector after dimensionality reduction, X is the original feature vector, and W is the PCA weight matrix.
[0172] Signal quality assessment: Evaluate the signal quality by calculating the RSSI and SINR values:
[0173] Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) calculation:
[0174]
[0175] Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SINR) calculation:
[0176]
[0177] Evaluate the signal quality based on the calculated SINR value:
[0178] If SINR > 15 dB, the signal quality is excellent;
[0179] If 10 dB < SINR ≤ 15 dB, the signal quality is medium;
[0180] If SINR≤10dB, the signal quality is poor.
[0181] Valid signal judgment:
[0182] According to the set RSSI and SINR threshold values, determine whether it is a valid signal. After 5-10 detections, the number of times that meet the requirements reaches a certain proportion is considered a valid signal:
[0183] Among them, the full-band 4G LTE signal is demodulated to obtain the signal characteristics of the corresponding signal: frequency band, frequency point, bandwidth, number of carriers, RSSI, SINR;
[0184] Set the signal thresholds Th_RSSI_LTE and Th_SINR_LTE. RSSI ≥ Th_RSSI_LTE and SINR ≥ Th_SINR_LTE are considered as valid working signals. The detection of whether it is a valid signal generally needs to be performed multiple times, such as 5-10 times. It is considered as a valid working signal only when the number of times that meet the requirements is greater than 80%;
[0185] Combined with the specific operator (for example, if the application scenario is China Mobile, the effective working signal of China Mobile is recorded), the final effective working signal and its signal characteristics are determined: frequency band, frequency point, bandwidth, and number of carriers;
[0186] The signal characteristics are output to the MCU core main control module, which controls the subsequent signal processing.
[0187] The processing process of 5G NR is as follows:
[0188] Demodulate the 5G NR signals in the full frequency band to obtain the signal characteristics of the corresponding signals: frequency band, frequency point, bandwidth, number of carriers, RSSI, and SINR;
[0189] Set the signal thresholds Th_RSSI_NR and Th_SINR_NR. RSSI ≥ Th_RSSI_NR and SINR ≥ Th_SINR_NR are considered as valid working signals. The detection of whether it is a valid signal generally needs to be performed multiple times, such as 5-10 times. It is considered as a valid working signal only when the number of times that meet the requirements is greater than 80%;
[0190] Combined with the specific operator (for example, if the application scenario is China Mobile, the effective working signal of China Mobile is recorded), the final effective working signal and its signal characteristics are determined: frequency band, frequency point, bandwidth, number of carriers, and the signal characteristics are output to the MCU core control module, which controls the subsequent signal processing.
[0191] Valid signal = (RSSI ≥ ThRSSI) ∧ (SINR ≥ ThSINR)
[0192] Among them, ThRSSI and ThSINR are set threshold values.
[0193] Result output: The characteristic information of the valid working signal is passed to the MCU core main control module.
[0194] In one embodiment, Intelligent Signal Path Self Optimization (ISPSO):
[0195] In order to improve the transmission efficiency and reliability of the communication system, the signal path quality is monitored and analyzed in real time, and the signal path selection and power allocation are dynamically adjusted to achieve the best signal quality and system performance in a multi-path signal transmission environment.
[0196] Signal path quality assessment:
[0197] Signal path quality assessment is one of the core steps in the ISPSO algorithm. Its goal is to evaluate the signal path based on the real-time received signal quality indicators (such as RSSI, SINR, delay, etc.) and select the optimal signal transmission path. The assessment is performed in the following ways:
[0198] Received Signal Strength (RSSI): Measures the received signal strength, indicating the quality of signal reception. The higher the RSSI, the better the signal quality and the better the path.
[0199]
[0200] Among them, P r is the power of the received signal, P ref is the reference power.
[0201] Signal-to-noise ratio (SINR): used to evaluate the signal quality of the channel. A higher SINR value means better signal quality.
[0202]
[0203] Among them, S is the signal power, I is the interference power, and N is the noise power.
[0204] Latency: refers to the time delay from the signal being sent to the receiving end. Paths with lower latency are more suitable for real-time communication.
[0205]
[0206] Among them, T receive and T transmit They represent the timestamps of receiving and sending respectively, and N is the number of packets.
[0207] These quality indicators are used in combination to score each signal path and select the most appropriate path for data transmission.
[0208] Dynamic path selection:
[0209] Based on the quality evaluation results of the signal path, the ISPSO algorithm dynamically selects the transmission path. Through real-time calculation, the optimal path is selected for signal transmission to avoid signal transmission on paths with large interference. Factors considered in path selection include signal strength, signal-to-noise ratio, and delay. The specific process is as follows:
[0210] Path sorting: Sort all signal paths according to signal quality indicators (such as RSSI, SINR) and select high-quality paths for data transmission.
[0211] Optimal path selection: Select the path with the highest signal quality among the sorted signal paths. If the quality of the current path decreases, the system automatically switches to a path with better quality.
[0212] Path switching strategy: If the currently selected signal path is interfered with or the quality is not up to standard, the system will automatically switch to the next path with better quality. This switching process is automatic and instant, ensuring that the system always maintains efficient signal transmission in a changing network environment.
[0213] Power distribution optimization:
[0214] Based on the signal path selection, the ISPSO algorithm further optimizes the power allocation for each signal path. The goal of power allocation is to ensure that the transmission quality of each signal path is maximized and the interference within the system is reduced. Power optimization considers the following aspects:
[0215] Signal quality and priority: Determine the power allocation strategy based on the signal quality (such as RSSI and SINR values) and the priority of the path. High-quality paths and high-priority channels should be allocated more power, while low-quality paths and low-priority channels should be allocated less power.
[0216] Power allocation calculation formula: For each path, power is dynamically allocated according to its quality evaluation result using the following formula:
[0217]
[0218] Among them, P i is the power allocated to channel i, P total is the total power, w i is the weight of channel i, and N is the total number of signal paths. iDetermined by the signal quality (such as RSSI, SINR), high-quality paths have larger weights and receive more power allocation.
[0219] Dynamic power adjustment: As the network environment changes, signal quality and path priority will also change, so power allocation needs to be adjusted dynamically in real time. When the quality of a path decreases, its allocated power is reduced accordingly and allocated to a path with better quality.
[0220] Power budget optimization: According to the quality and priority of the channel, the power of each channel is reasonably allocated to ensure the load balance and resource optimization of the overall system. For example, more power is allocated to channels with important applications to ensure the stability of key communication tasks.
[0221] Spectrum resource sharing optimization
[0222] In the case of multiple signal paths, spectrum resources may conflict, affecting signal quality and transmission efficiency. Therefore, the ISPSO algorithm also needs to optimize the sharing of spectrum resources to avoid spectrum conflicts between signal paths. Spectrum resource sharing optimization mainly includes the following steps:
[0223] Spectrum conflict detection: Through spectrum monitoring, possible spectrum conflicts between different signal paths can be identified to avoid interference from signals of the same frequency.
[0224] Spectrum allocation optimization: Dynamically adjust the spectrum allocation of each signal path based on channel usage to avoid interference between multiple paths and optimize spectrum usage efficiency.
[0225] Spectrum soaring probability formula: Among them, SINR avg is the average SINR of the current frequency band, SINR threshold is the threshold of spectrum sharing, and λ is the adjustment coefficient.
[0226] Specific implementation:
[0227] Calculate the average SINR of the current frequency band.
[0228] If the average SINR is greater than the set threshold SINR threshold , then by calculating S share To decide whether to share spectrum resources.
[0229] If S share If it is greater than a certain value, multiple users are allowed to share the spectrum resources; otherwise, the spectrum resources are exclusively occupied by a single user.
[0230] AI-driven optimized signal processing
[0231] pass Select different channel coding strategies C and calculate the signal quality under each strategy (based on SNR and SINR calculation).
[0232] Use optimization algorithms (such as gradient descent or other machine learning methods) to find the best encoding method to maximize the transmission efficiency of the signal.
[0233] In one embodiment, the MCU core main control module:
[0234] The MCU core control module performs the following key calculations and processing based on the signal characteristics evaluation and the information provided by the time domain synchronization module:
[0235] Signal processing parameter calculation: According to the frequency band and bandwidth of the signal, calculate the frequency band range of the signal to be processed:
[0236] ProcessedBandwidth=MaxBandwidth×NumberOfCarriers
[0237] Among them, MaxBandwidth is the maximum bandwidth of a single carrier, and numberOfCarriers is the number of carriers.
[0238] Determine the latency requirements for signal processing:
[0239]
[0240] Among them, f s is the sampling frequency and NumberOfSamples is the number of samples that need to be processed.
[0241] Dynamic adjustment and power optimization:
[0242] Channel classification: Channels are classified into high-quality, medium-quality, and low-quality channels based on signal quality (such as RSSI and SINR values):
[0243] High-quality channel: RSSI>-70dBm, SINR>20dB;
[0244] Medium quality channel: -90dBm <RSSI≤-70dBm,5dB<SINR≤20dB;
[0245] Low-quality channel: RSSI ≤ -90dBm, SINR ≤ 5dB.
[0246] Dynamic gain adjustment: Calculate the best gain adjustment reference value based on the target RSSI and SINR values to optimize signal quality:
[0247] G i =G base +k·(RSSI target-RSSI i )
[0248] Among them, G base is the reference gain and k is the adjustment factor.
[0249] Power budget division: Power is divided by signal quality and priority:
[0250] High priority channel: $50%$ power is allocated;
[0251] Medium priority channel: $30%$ power is allocated;
[0252] Low priority channel: allocated $20%$ power.
[0253] Dynamic allocation formula: Dynamically adjust power allocation based on signal quality and priority:
[0254]
[0255] Among them, P i is the power allocated to channel i, P total is the total power, w i is the weight of channel i. The MCU can adjust the power allocation in real time according to the changes in the system to ensure the optimized performance of the network under different load conditions.

[0272] Gain control: Based on the current signal strength (RSSI) and quality (SINR), the MCU adjusts the gain of the RF transceiver to ensure that the signal strength is appropriate.
[0273] Power Control:
[0274] Power control is the key to ensure signal quality and energy efficiency. The MCU dynamically adjusts the transmit power based on the signal quality:
[0275] Dynamic power adjustment: If the signal quality is poor, the MCU will increase the transmit power; if the signal quality is good, the MCU will reduce the power to save energy and reduce interference.
[0276] Power allocation: According to the priority of different channels, the MCU allocates the total power to each channel reasonably. Channels with high priority will be allocated more power, while channels with low priority will be allocated less power.
[0277] Frequency band and signal threshold settings:
[0278] The MCU also needs to set the frequency band and threshold of the signal:
[0279] Frequency band selection: According to the communication standard and network environment, the MCU selects the appropriate frequency band to ensure that the signal is transmitted within the correct frequency range.
[0280] Signal threshold: The MCU sets the minimum signal quality requirement. Signals below this threshold will not be processed, ensuring that the system always maintains good signal quality.
[0281] Configuration instructions and adjustments:
[0282] The MCU sets and adjusts the system's parameters by sending configuration instructions. At the same time, the MCU will adjust the configuration based on real-time feedback to ensure that the system can maintain the best state in different environments.
[0283] In a specific implementation scenario: a central business district in a city, due to the high-rise buildings and dense crowds, the mobile communication signals are often interfered and attenuated, affecting the communication quality.
