Remote Electrical Tilt Unit Permission Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face difficulties in managing and troubleshooting remote electrical tilt antennas, particularly when multiple base stations share a multi-band remote electrical tilt antenna, as it is challenging to locate and correct configuration faults.
Innovation Solution
The solution involves connecting a remote electrical tilt unit to multiple base stations through AISG ports, allowing for permission configuration information to be sent to allocate control and query permissions, ensuring that only one base station has control permission, enabling joint management and fault troubleshooting across multiple base stations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple base stations share a multi-band remote electrical tilt antenna, then the antenna can cover multiple frequency bands and avoid multiple installations, but it becomes difficult to locate and troubleshoot configuration faults
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the management权限 of the remote electrical tilt antenna by introducing distinct control permission and query permission levels. Each base station can be granted specific permissions (control, query, or both) for different frequency bands, allowing independent management and troubleshooting of each band without affecting others. This segmentation enables precise fault isolation to specific base stations or frequency bands.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary permission management mechanism that mediates between multiple base stations and the remote electrical tilt antenna. The permission configuration information acts as an intermediary layer that controls which base station can access and manage which frequency bands, enabling structured troubleshooting by controlling information flow and management access.
2Ease of operation
If a remote electrical tilt unit is configured by only one base station corresponding to an AISG port, then the configuration management is simple, but multiple base stations cannot jointly manage the antenna
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the permission configuration dynamic by allowing the network management system to flexibly allocate control and query permissions to different base stations based on operational needs. The permission configuration information can be dynamically adjusted to enable or disable joint management capabilities, transitioning between single-base-station and multi-base-station management modes as required.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal permission management framework that can accommodate both single-base-station and multi-base-station scenarios. The same AISG interface and permission configuration mechanism serve both simple single-station management and complex multi-station joint management, making the system universally applicable to different operational requirements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If control permission is allocated to multiple base stations, then joint management is enabled, but configuration conflicts and troubleshooting difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by granting different permission levels (control, query, or both) to different base stations for different frequency bands. Instead of uniform permission allocation, each base station receives tailored permissions specific to its operational requirements and frequency band responsibilities, reducing overall system complexity while enabling joint management where needed.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a remote electrical tilt unit, a base station, and a method for managing a remote electrical tilt antenna. The remote electrical tilt unit is connected to at least one base station through a group of AISG ports of a remote control unit, and the method includes: receiving, by the remote electrical tilt unit, permission configuration information sent by a first base station through a group of AISG ports of the remote control unit; configuring management permission of the first base station on the remote electrical tilt unit according to the permission configuration information, where the management permission includes at least control permission and query permission, and control permission on the remote electrical tilt unit can be allocated to only one base station. In this way, multiple base stations jointly manage a remote electrical tilt unit in a remote electrical tilt antenna, and a problem that it is difficult to locate and troubleshoot a fault when configuration of the remote electrical tilt unit is incorrect is resolved.
