Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to wireless repeaters, and more particularly to a simplified structure for a wireless repeater for millimeter-wave band mobile communication systems, such as those used in the 28 GHz band of the 5G standard. Background Technology
[0002] In 5G standards and similar technologies, as the frequency used for communication increases, the directness of radio waves increases. This makes radio wave-based communication difficult when there are buildings or other structures between the base station and the communication terminal. Therefore, wireless repeaters are often used instead.
[0003] A wireless repeater consists of a donor unit that transmits and receives data with a base station (BS) and a service unit that transmits and receives data with a user terminal (UE). It is used, for example, in situations where a direct wireless link between the base station and the user terminal cannot be established due to obstacles or the like (Patent Document 1).
[0004] In reference 1 Figure 4 An example of the structure of a wireless repeater is shown in the figure.
[0005] In wireless repeaters, in the case of analog wiring, from the viewpoint of reducing the feeder loss of coaxial cables, the connection is made by frequency conversion to an intermediate frequency band lower than the wireless frequency (Patent Document 1).
[0006] A wireless repeater consists of a donor unit, a service unit, and a coaxial cable connecting the two.
[0007] Addressing MIMO in wireless repeaters and other applications in 5G millimeter-wave mobile communication systems.
[0008] In such a wireless repeater, both the BS and UE use two antennas for MIMO communication, forming a two-path wireless link in the same frequency band (fRF).
[0009] For MIMO communication, two antennas are required in the wireless repeater, i.e., two paths under fRF. Especially when using analog cables such as coaxial cables, two cables are required if directly constructed, resulting in poor setup. If digital, the cables are combined into one, but digital processing units are required in the donor unit and service unit respectively, increasing the size of the wireless repeater and further deteriorating setup in this case.
[0010] Synchronization functions are also used in wireless repeaters and other applications in 5G millimeter-wave mobile communication systems.
[0011] In 5G or millimeter-wave bands, transmit / receive handover is performed using TDD (Time Division Duplex). Therefore, the BS / UEs use synchronization signals specified in 5G communication to ensure consistent timing during transmit / receive handover.
[0012] For synchronization, a so-called synchronization module is also needed in the wireless repeater, which has the function of demodulating the 5G signal and extracting the synchronization signal. This synchronization function is implemented in the mid-band, but when the two systems are wired separately, a synchronization module is required in each system, thus leading to the increase in the size of the device.
[0013] Here, the synchronization signal can be confirmed in both systems or in either system by transmitting waves from the BS side.
[0014] In these wireless repeaters, the two systems are wired separately. For example, wireless repeaters in the 5G standard are designed to handle MIMO, such as... Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the system architecture uses two systems.

[0017] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2022-67016 Summary of the Invention
[0018] The problem that the invention aims to solve
[0019] In a two-system architecture, only one local signal and one intermediate frequency are needed, but coaxial cables for both systems are required, as well as synchronization modules for both systems. Therefore, a demodulator is included, resulting in high cost and large device size.
[0020] In particular, while analog cabling between donor and service units is advantageous for miniaturizing the device, it requires two coaxial cables, leading to performance degradation. Furthermore, TDD synchronization in wireless repeaters involves demodulating the 5G synchronization signal from the base station; however, since the repeater doesn't know which system the synchronization signal is from, synchronization modules for two systems are needed, resulting in larger device sizes.
[0021] For example, the purpose of this invention is to address the issue of large-scale operation by combining the system architectures of two systems into one system in the intermediate frequency band, while also addressing MIMO through wireless repeaters in the 5G standard.
[0022] Additionally, for example, the present invention aims to solve the problem of large-scale operation by switching local signals via synchronization signals when dealing with MIMO through wireless repeaters in the 5G standard.
[0023] Furthermore, the object of the present invention is to solve the problem of needing a synchronization module in each system when two systems are wired separately, in the case of TDD-based transmit / receive switching in millimeter-wave bands of 5G standards, and in structures that use synchronization signals and keep the transmit / receive switching timing consistent, by using a structure that satisfies the above-mentioned functions with a single synchronization module.
[0024] Other objects of the invention are also described in the manner in which the invention is carried out.

[0078] Figure 13 An example of the structure of a wireless repeater in one embodiment of the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation
[0079] Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 This illustrates a structural example of a wireless repeater 1 in one embodiment of the present invention.
[0080] In part of the following example, for ease of understanding, examples of donor antennas 101, 102, ..., 10N and service antennas 201, 202, ..., 20N, each consisting of two systems, will be shown. However, the same applies to cases with more than two N.
[0081] The wireless repeater 1 includes a first unit 100, a second unit, and a cable 300 connecting the first unit 100 and the second unit.
[0082] The first unit 100 includes N donor antennas 101, 102, ..., 10N, a first connection portion 110 connected to the analog cable 300, and N donor-side frequency conversion portions 111, 112, ..., 11N from the donor-side first frequency conversion portion to the donor-side Nth frequency conversion portion, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2. In this embodiment, N is 2.
[0083] N donor antennas 101, 102, ..., 10N are the donor antennas 101, 102, ..., 10N that communicate with the base station from the first donor antenna 101, 102, ..., 10N to the Nth donor antenna 101, 102, ..., 10N.
[0084] The N donor-side frequency conversion units 111, 112, ..., 11N, from the first donor antenna 101, 102, ..., 10N to the Nth donor antenna 101, 102, ..., 10N, respectively convert the frequency fRF signal received by the corresponding donor antenna 101, 102, ..., 10N from the first donor antenna 101, 102, ..., 10N to the Nth donor antenna 101, 102, ..., 10N into an intermediate signal as an analog signal, from the first intermediate signal to the Nth intermediate signal, through their respective local signals.
[0085] Here, the frequencies of the local signal and the intermediate signal are different according to the donor-side frequency conversion units 111, 112, ..., 11N.
[0086] The second unit includes N service antennas 201, 202, ..., 20N, a second connection section connected to an analog cable 300, and N service-side frequency conversion sections 211, 212, ..., 21N from the service-side first frequency conversion section to the service-side Nth frequency conversion section.
[0087] N service antennas 201, 202, ..., 20N are used to communicate with the communication terminal. The service antennas 201, 202, ..., 20N are from the first service antenna 201, 202, ..., 20N to the Nth service antenna 201, 202, ..., 20N.
[0088] The N service-side frequency conversion units 211, 212, ..., 21N from the first service antenna 201, 202, ..., 20N to the Nth service antenna 201, 202, ..., 20N respectively convert the frequency fRF signal received by the corresponding service antenna 201, 202, ..., 20N from the first service antenna 201, 202, ..., 20N to the Nth service antenna 201, 202, ..., 20N into an intermediate signal as an analog signal, which is from the first intermediate signal to the Nth intermediate signal, through their respective local signals.
[0089] The frequencies of the local signal and the intermediate signal are different according to the frequency conversion units 211, 212, ..., 21N on the service side.
[0090] Cable 300 allows intermediate signals, which are analog signals, to pass through, and is a cable 300 that allows analog signals to pass through appropriately. As in this embodiment, it has a structure that does not have a digital processing unit for the intermediate signal, and therefore does not require a digital processing unit.
[0091] The intermediate signals from the first intermediate signal to the Nth intermediate signal are transmitted in an overlapping manner in a single cable 300.
[0092] The scope of the patent protection sought and the meaning of "overlapping transmission" in this description also include structures with non-overlapping time periods depending on the timing of the signal, meaning that signal processing can be performed without problems even with overlapping transmission.
[0093] The local signal and the intermediate signal do not have to be fixed. That is, as long as they are combined into one, they can be at different frequencies for each overlapping signal.
[0094] In this embodiment, the high-frequency band fRF signals of the donor antennas 101, 102, ..., 10N and the service antennas 201, 202, ..., 20N are frequency-transformed into other intermediate frequency bands with frequencies fIF1 and fIF2 by local signals at frequencies fLO1 and fLO2, respectively. Here, fIF1 is less than fIF2.
[0095] Signals in the intermediate frequency bands fIF1 and fIF2 are superimposed on the transmission path of a system through an intermediate frequency band duplexer, thereby enabling cabling between the donor and service units via a single coaxial cable 300.
[0096] The cable 300 can be a digital cable 300 or a wireless communication cable, but it can also be an analog cable 300 such as a coaxial cable 300 as in this embodiment. If it is an analog cable 300, there is no need for an analog-to-digital converter, etc., the circuit structure becomes simple, and thus the overall device can be miniaturized.
[0097] Figure 6 This illustrates a structural example of a wireless repeater 1 in one embodiment of the present invention.
[0098] In this embodiment, the wireless repeater 1 includes a donor-side combiner 121 connected between donor antennas 101, 102, ..., 10N and cable 300, and a service-side combiner 221 connected between service antennas 201, 202, ..., 20N and cable 300.
[0099] Figure 7 This illustrates a structural example of a wireless repeater 1 in one embodiment of the present invention.
[0100] In this embodiment, the wireless repeater 1 includes a donor-side filter 122 connected between the donor antennas 101, 102, ..., 10N and the cable 300, and a service-side filter 222 connected between the service antennas 201, 202, ..., 20N and the cable 300.
[0101] Figure 8 This illustrates a structural example of a wireless repeater 1 in one embodiment of the present invention.
[0102] In this embodiment, the wireless repeater 1 includes: a donor-side combiner / distributor 121 connected between donor antennas 101, 102, ..., 10N and cable 300; a service-side combiner / distributor 221 connected between service antennas 201, 202, ..., 20N and cable 300; a donor-side filter 122 connected between donor antennas 101, 102, ..., 10N and cable 300; and a service-side filter 222 connected between service antennas 201, 202, ..., 20N and cable 300.
[0103] Figure 9 This illustrates a structural example of a wireless repeater 1 in one embodiment of the present invention.
[0104] In this embodiment, in the wireless repeater 1, the donor-side synthesizer 121 and the donor-side filter 122 are integrally configured as a donor-side multiplexer 120.
[0105] The service-side combiner / distributor 221 and the service-side filter 222 are integrally configured as a service-side multiplexer 220. In the case of two antennas, this embodiment becomes a duplexer. The scope of the patent claim and the term "multiplexer" in this description include duplexers.
[0106] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first unit 100 includes a first demodulator 131 and a first synchronization module 132 connected to the first connection portion 110. The first synchronization module 132 performs switching of donor-side frequency conversion portions 111 and 112 and switching of local signals based on the demodulation result in the first demodulator 131.
[0107] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second unit includes a second demodulator 231 and a second synchronization module 232 connected to the second connection section. The second synchronization module 232 performs switching of the service-side frequency conversion sections 211 and 212 and switching of the local signal based on the demodulation result in the second demodulator 231.
[0108] Figure 10 This illustrates a structural example of a wireless repeater 1 in one embodiment of the present invention.
[0109] In this embodiment, the first unit 100 includes a first demodulator 131 and a first synchronization module 132 connected to the first connection portion 110. Additionally, the second unit includes a second demodulator 231 and a second synchronization module 232 connected to the second connection portion.
[0110] The wireless repeater 1 in this embodiment also includes a synchronization signal acquisition unit 133, 233, a donor-side local signal switching unit 134, and a server-side local signal switching unit 234.
[0111] The first unit 100 includes a first demodulator 131 and a first synchronization module 132 connected to the first connection portion 110. The second unit includes a second demodulator 231 and a second synchronization module 232 connected to the second connection portion.
[0112] The synchronization signal acquisition unit 133 obtains the synchronization signal by switching the donor-side local signal through the donor-side local signal switching unit 134 based on the demodulation result in the first demodulator 131, or the synchronization signal acquisition unit 233 obtains the synchronization signal by switching the service-side local signal through the service-side local signal switching unit 234 based on the demodulation result in the second demodulator 231.
[0113] Figure 11 This illustrates a structural example of a wireless repeater 1 in one embodiment of the present invention.
[0114] In this embodiment, the donor-side local signal switching unit 134 and the service-side local signal switching unit 234 also each have a donor-side switching transceiver unit 135 and a service-side switching transceiver unit 235. Furthermore, when one of the donor-side local signal switching unit 134 and the service-side local signal switching unit 234 switches the local signal, the local signal switching signal is transmitted to the other party via the donor-side switching transceiver unit 135 and the service-side switching transceiver unit 235, and the other party of the donor-side local signal switching unit 134 and the service-side local signal switching unit 234 selects the frequency of the local signal.
[0115] In this way, the frequency information of the local signal from the unit that has undergone local signal switching control is received in a unit that is different from the unit that has undergone local signal switching control, so that the frequency of the local signal is consistent.
[0116] The synchronization module obtains the synchronization signal by demodulating fIF1. Since only one synchronization module is needed, it is small and low-cost.
[0117] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the first synchronization module 132 and the second synchronization module 232 of the wireless repeater 1 have an intermediate signal in the intermediate signal in which the synchronization signal cannot be obtained, they perform local signal switching control and search for an intermediate frequency signal containing the synchronization signal.
[0118] That is, in this embodiment, when the synchronization signal is obtained from both sides of the two systems, no special effort is required. When it can only be obtained from one side of antennas 1 and 2, the two local signals, frequency fLO1 and frequency fLO2, are switched, and the side that obtains the synchronization signal is set as fIF1.
[0119] Figure 12 This indicates the frequency configuration of the wireless repeater 1 in one embodiment of the present invention.
[0120] In this embodiment, the first intermediate signal to the Nth intermediate signal each have a predetermined bandwidth D1.
[0121] The frequency band from the first intermediate signal to the frequency band of the Nth intermediate signal is separated from the adjacent frequency band by a predetermined frequency band D2.
[0122] In this embodiment, fRF = 28.0 GHz ± 200 MHz (400 MHz width), fIF1 = 3.0 GHz ± 200 MHz (400 MHz width), and fIF2 = 3.6 GHz ± 200 MHz (400 MHz width). The values of fLO1 and fLO2 are determined according to the mixer specifications.
[0123] For example, the signals received from donor antennas 101 and 102 have different paths and the same frequency in the RF band, i.e., the high-frequency band where the antenna transmits and receives signals from the outside. On the other hand, in the IF band, i.e., the intermediate frequency band where the antenna transmits and receives signals from the outside, the paths are the same but the frequencies are different.
[0124] Figure 13 It is a structure that generalizes to an N-system by setting N to an integer greater than 2.
[0125] The local signal is switched with the lowest frequency of the system that obtains the synchronization signal, and with the lowest frequency of the intermediate frequency band extracted by the synchronization module. Thus, even in an N system, the same effect as in a 2 system can be obtained.
