随着通信技术的发展, 通信领域对通信参数也要求越来越高, 其中, 相位 是通信中一个重要的参数。 特别是在多点协作 (Coordinated Multiple Points , CoMP )传输技术中对射频拉远单元( Radio Remote Unit, RRU ) 间相位的同 步有很特殊的要求。 而在同步 RRU间相位之间是需要获取 RRU间的相位差, 而根据该相位差实现 RRU间相位同步。而目前测量 RRU间的相位差主要通过 如下方法测量: With the development of communication technology, communication fields are also demanding higher and higher communication parameters, among which phase is an important parameter in communication. Especially in the Coordinated Multiple Points (CoMP) transmission technology, there are special requirements for the phase synchronization between the Radio Remote Units (RRUs). In the phase between the synchronous RRUs, it is necessary to acquire the phase difference between the RRUs, and phase synchronization between the RRUs is realized according to the phase differences.

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清 楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例, 而不是 全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造 性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work are within the scope of the present invention.
在本发明实施例中, 第一 RRU 具体可以是某一基站包括的 RRU, 第二 RRU可以是另一基站包括的 RRU , 当然, 第一 RRU和第二 RRU可以是同一 个基站包括的两个 RRU。 当第一 RRU和第二 RRU属于不同的基站时, 第一 RRU和第二 RRU之间的相位差可以是理解为这两个不同的基站之间的相位 差。 In the embodiment of the present invention, the first RRU may be an RRU included in a certain base station, and the second RRU may be an RRU included in another base station. Of course, the first RRU and the second RRU may be two included in the same base station. RRU. When the first RRU and the second RRU belong to different base stations, the phase difference between the first RRU and the second RRU may be understood as the phase difference between the two different base stations.
请参考图 1 ,图 1是本发明实施例提供的一种相位测量方法的流程示意图, 如图 1所示, 包括以下步骤: Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a phase measurement method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps:
101、 在第一时间窗内接收第一射频拉远单元 RRU发送的第一测试信号, 并测量在所述第一时间窗内接收到的所述第一测试信号的功率或者幅度最低 时的第一接收时间值; 其中, 所述第一测试信号在所述第一 RRU发送所述第 一测试信号时的功率或者幅度恒定,且所述第一测试信号的相位以预设相位旋 转速度进行相位旋转。 101. Receive a first test signal sent by the first radio remote unit RRU in a first time window, and measure a power or a minimum amplitude of the first test signal received in the first time window. a receiving time value; wherein, the power or amplitude of the first test signal when the first RRU sends the first test signal is constant, and the phase of the first test signal is phased at a preset phase rotation speed Rotate.
可选的, 上述第一测试信号具体可以是时间连续的测试信号, 例如, 在上 述第一时间窗内时间连续的测试信号;或者上述第一测试信号是时间离散的测 试信号。 Optionally, the first test signal may be a time continuous test signal, for example, a time continuous test signal in the first time window; or the first test signal is a time-discrete test signal.
可选的,上述测量在所述第一时间窗内接收到的所述第一测试信号的功率 或者幅度最低时的第一接收时间值具体可以是,在所述第一时间窗内采集多个 第一测试信号的功率值或者幅度值,再从这多个功率值或者幅度值选择出最低 的一个功率值,或者最低的一个幅度值,再将采集最低的功率值或者幅度值的 采集时间作为上述第一接收时间。 例如: 上述第一时间窗的长度为 360微秒 ( us ), 上述第一测试信号在该第一时间窗内的相位旋转 360度, 即预设相位 旋转速度为每 us旋转 1度。 而上述采集时隙为 lus,那么步骤 101就可以采集 到 360个不同相位的第一测试信号的功率值或者幅度值,再从这 360个功率值 或者幅度值选择出最低功率值或者幅度值, 从而得到上述第一接收时间值。 Optionally, the first receiving time value when the power or the amplitude of the first test signal received in the first time window is the lowest in the first time window may be: collecting multiple in the first time window. The power value or amplitude value of the first test signal, and then selecting the lowest power value or the lowest amplitude value from the plurality of power values or amplitude values, and then collecting the lowest power value or amplitude value The acquisition time is taken as the first reception time described above. For example, the length of the first time window is 360 microseconds (us), and the phase of the first test signal in the first time window is rotated by 360 degrees, that is, the preset phase rotation speed is 1 degree per us. The acquisition time slot is lus, then step 101 can collect the power value or amplitude value of the first test signal of 360 different phases, and then select the lowest power value or amplitude value from the 360 power values or amplitude values. Thereby, the above first reception time value is obtained.
需要说明的是, 上述第一测试信号的功率和幅度可以是两个并列的参数, 即步骤 101中测量出第一测试信号的功率时,那么就可以不测量第一测试信号 的幅度, 同理, 测量出第一测试信号的幅度时, 就可以不测量第一测试信号的 功率。 It should be noted that the power and amplitude of the first test signal may be two parallel parameters, that is, when the power of the first test signal is measured in step 101, then the amplitude of the first test signal may not be measured, and the same reason. When the amplitude of the first test signal is measured, the power of the first test signal may not be measured.
可选的, 上述第一测试信号在所述第一 RRU发送所述第一测试信号时的 功率或者幅度恒定具体可以是, 第一 RRU获取到的第一测试信号时该第一测 试信号的功率或者幅度恒定, 例如: 第一 RRU生成的第一测试信号的功率或 者幅度恒定, 或者第一 RRU接收到其它设备(例如: 其它基站)发送的第一 测试信号的功率或者幅度恒定。即在第一测试信号在未发送前该第一测试信号 的功率或者幅度恒定。但在实际中, 第一测试信号的功率或者幅度在发送的过 程往往会受到第一 RRU特性或者传输网络的影响会发生变化,例如:第一 RRU 在发送第一测试信号时发生载波泄露,这样在该载波泄露时刻第一测试信号的 功率或者幅度会降低,即步骤 101在该时刻接收到第一测试信号的功率或者幅 度会比较低。从而可以得到步骤 101接收到的第一测试信号的功率或者幅度可 以是变化的, 例如: 第一测试信号的相位不同时, 第一测试信号的功率或者幅 度可以是不同的。 Optionally, the power or the amplitude of the first test signal when the first test signal is sent by the first RRU may be the power of the first test signal when the first test signal is acquired by the first RRU. Or the amplitude is constant, for example: the power or amplitude of the first test signal generated by the first RRU is constant, or the power or amplitude of the first test signal sent by the first RRU to other devices (eg, other base stations) is constant. That is, the power or amplitude of the first test signal is constant before the first test signal is transmitted. However, in practice, the power or amplitude of the first test signal is often affected by the first RRU characteristic or the transmission network during the transmission process. For example, the first RRU generates a carrier leakage when transmitting the first test signal, so that At the time of the carrier leakage, the power or amplitude of the first test signal may decrease, that is, the power or amplitude of the first test signal received by step 101 at this time may be relatively low. Therefore, the power or amplitude of the first test signal received in step 101 can be changed. For example, when the phases of the first test signals are different, the power or amplitude of the first test signal can be different.
可选的,上述第一测试信号的相位以预设相位旋转速度进行相位旋转具体 可以是, 上述第一测试信号的相位是随时间变化的, 例如, 上述预设相位旋转 速度为每 us旋转 1度, 那么上述第一测试信号的相位就每过 lus旋转 1度。 当然, 上述第一 RRU本身存在一个相位, 即上述第一测试信号可以是以第一 RRU 的相位为起始相位进行相位旋转的, 即可以理解为第一测试信号发送时 刻的相位就为第一 RRU的相位。 Optionally, the phase of the first test signal is rotated at a preset phase rotation speed. Specifically, the phase of the first test signal is time-varying. For example, the preset phase rotation speed is 1 rotation per us. Degree, then the phase of the above first test signal is rotated by 1 degree per lus. Of course, the first RRU itself has a phase, that is, the first test signal may be phase-rotated with the phase of the first RRU as the starting phase, that is, the phase of the first test signal transmission time is first. The phase of the RRU.
102、在第二时间窗内接收第二 RRU发送的第二测试信号,并测量在所述 第二时间窗内接收到的所述第二测试信号的功率或者幅度最低时的第二接收 时间值; 其中, 所述第二测试信号在所述第二 RRU发送所述第二测试信号时 的功率或者幅度恒定,且所述第二测试信号的相位以所述预设相位旋转速度进 行相位旋转。 102.

可选的,上述第二测试信号的描述以及测量第二测试信号的功率具体可以 是参考上面对第一测试信号的描述。其中, 第二测试信号还可以等同于上述第 一测试信号, 例如: 功率或者幅度相等, 相位旋转的步长相等。 其中, 相位旋 转的步长具体可以是指在时间窗内测试信号相位旋转的角度(例如: 第一测试 信号的相位旋转步长就可以是在第一时间窗内第一测试信号相位旋转的角 度)。 当然, 第二测试信号的功率或者幅度还可以是与第一测试信号的功率或 者幅度是不同的,或者第二测试信号的相位旋转的步长与第一测试信号的相位 旋转的步长是不同的。 Optionally, the description of the second test signal and the power of the second test signal may be specifically described above with reference to the first test signal. The second test signal may also be equivalent to the first test signal, for example: power or amplitude is equal, and phase rotation steps are equal. The step of the phase rotation may specifically refer to an angle of the phase rotation of the test signal in the time window (for example: the phase rotation step of the first test signal may be the angle of the phase rotation of the first test signal in the first time window) ). Of course, the power or amplitude of the second test signal may be different from the power or amplitude of the first test signal, or the step of the phase rotation of the second test signal is different from the step of the phase rotation of the first test signal. of.
103、 根据所述预设相位旋转速度、 时间差值和时间间隔值计算出所述第 一 RRU与所述第二 RRU间的相位差;其中,所述时间差值为所述第一接收时 间值与所述第二时间接收值之间的差值,所述时间间隔值表示所述第一时间窗 与所述第二时间窗之间的时间间隔。 103.

其中, 表示所述第一 RRU与所述第二 RRU间的相位差, At表示上述 时间差值, c表示上述预设相位旋转速度, 表示上述时间间隔值, h表示上 述特定相位值。 And indicating a phase difference between the first RRU and the second RRU, At represents the time difference value, c represents the preset phase rotation speed, and represents the time interval value, and h represents the specific phase value.
下面参考图 3对上述公式进行验证, 其中, RRU1 (上述第一 RRU )在第 一时间窗内 RRU1的相位为 , RRU1的第一测试信号的相位周期性遍历 (即 相位进行旋转), 相位旋转到载波泄露的恒定相位 翻转处, 第一测试信号的 功率为一个低谷值。 在 RRU2 (上述第二 RRU )在第二时间窗内, RRU2的相 位为 , RRU2 的第二测试信号的相位周期性遍历 (即相位进行旋转), 相位 旋转到载波泄露的恒定相位 翻转处, 第二测试信号的功率为一个低谷值。 即可以得到如下公式 The above formula is verified with reference to FIG. 3, wherein RRU1 (the first RRU above) has a phase of RRU1 in the first time window, and a phase periodic traversal of the first test signal of RRU1 (ie, phase rotation), phase rotation At a constant phase inversion to carrier leakage, the power of the first test signal is a low valley. In the second time window of RRU2 (the above second RRU), the phase of RRU2 is the phase periodic traversal of the second test signal of RRU2 (ie, the phase is rotated), and the phase is rotated to the constant phase inversion of carrier leakage, The power of the second test signal is a low valley. That is, you can get the following formula
92 + a2≡ +9OC 9 2 + a 2 ≡ +9 OC
通过上述两个公式可以得到 RRU1和 RRU2之间的相位差 表达式为: The phase difference between RRU1 and RRU2 can be obtained by the above two formulas:
Αθ=θ1 - θ2 = αι - α2 Αθ=θ 1 - θ 2 = α ι - α 2
该式表明, RRU1和 RRU2之间的相位差可表示为第一测试信号的相位旋 转到 处所旋转的相位与第二测试信号的相位旋转到 处所旋转的相位之 差即"- "2。 由于第一测试信号和第二测试信号的功率或者幅度不变, 相位周 旋转预设相位值 h (例如: h = 2r ), 相位旋转速度为 C。 故上述时间差值等于: This equation shows that the phase difference between RRU1 and RRU2 can be expressed as the phase of the first test signal rotated to the phase rotated and the phase of the second test signal rotated to the phase rotated. The difference is "-" 2. Since the power or amplitude of the first test signal and the second test signal are constant, the phase rotation is preset to a phase value h (for example, h = 2 r ), and the phase rotation speed is C. Therefore, the above time difference is equal to:
At = (2^--a1)/c + t21 + α2 /c At = (2^--a 1 )/c + t 21 + α 2 /c
上式中 ^恒定, Δί为上述时间差值通过上式可以得到如下公式: In the above formula, ^ is constant, and Δί is the above time difference. The above formula can be obtained by the above formula:
α2 -α =At-c-t21 - c- n α 2 -α =At-ct 21 - c- n
令 21 =— t21'c_2 ,于是,才艮据 Αέ^^— 以及" =八 _ 21 _2 得 到如下计算公式: Let 21 = - t 21 ' c _ 2 , then, according to Αέ ^^ — and " = eight _ 21 _ 2 get the following formula:
A0 = At-c + 02l 通过上述验证就可以得到步骤 203所使用的计算公式。 A0 = At-c + 0 2l The calculation formula used in step 203 can be obtained by the above verification.

其中,上述第一时间窗的位置具体可以是指第一时间窗与第二时间窗的相 对位置, 即第一时间窗与第二时间窗之间的时间间隔, 上述第二时间窗的位置 具体可以是指第二时间窗与第一时间窗的相对位置。 由于在计算第一 RRU与 第二 RRU之间的相位差是根据上述时间间隔值计算的, 在计算过程中当时间 间隔值越小时, 计算精度就越高, 另外, 当上述第一时间窗和第二时间窗的长 度越长时, 步骤 201采集到第一测试信号的功率值或者幅度值可能就越多, 步 骤 202采集到第二测试信号的功率值或者幅度值可能就越多,这样得到的上述 第一接收时间值和第二接收时间值就越精确, 从而计算出的第一 RRU与第二 RRU之间的相位差的精度就更高。 这样可以实现通过配置第一时间窗和 /或第 二时间窗的位置,即配置第一时间窗与第二时间窗之间的时间间隔可以提高第 一 RRU与第二 RRU之间的相位差的精度。 其中, 上述步骤 204和步骤 205 具体可以是在步骤 201之前执行的,还可以是在步骤 203之后执行, 本实施例 对步骤 204和步骤 205的执行时间不作限定。 例如, 执行完步骤 203之后, 用 户需要调整第一 RRU与第二 RRU之间的相位差的精度,就可以通过步骤 204 和 /或步骤 205以调高第一 RRU与第二 RRU之间的相位差的精度。 当然, 本 实施例中, 上述第一时间窗的长度和位置还可以是第一 RRU设置的, 上述第 二时间窗的长度和位置还可以是第二 RRU设置的。 The position of the first time window may specifically refer to a relative position between the first time window and the second time window, that is, a time interval between the first time window and the second time window, and the position of the second time window is specific. It may refer to the relative position of the second time window and the first time window. Since the phase difference between the calculation of the first RRU and the second RRU is calculated according to the time interval value described above, the calculation accuracy is higher when the time interval value is smaller in the calculation process, and in addition, when the first time window and The longer the length of the second time window is, the more the power value or the amplitude value of the first test signal may be collected in step 201, and the more the power value or the amplitude value of the second test signal collected in step 202 may be obtained. The more precise the above-mentioned first reception time value and second reception time value are, the higher the accuracy of the phase difference between the first RRU and the second RRU is calculated.

For example, when the rotation step of the first test signal is shorter, and the power of the first test signal or the number of amplitude acquisition times is unchanged, then the phase interval of the first test signal collected is small, and thus the above-mentioned measurement is performed. The accuracy of the value at the time of reception is high, and conversely, the accuracy of the measured first reception time value is low. The same is true for the second reception time value. The phase difference between the first RRU and the second RRU is calculated based on the first reception time value and the second reception time value. This makes it possible to improve the accuracy of the phase difference between the first RRU and the second RRU by configuring the rotation step of the first test signal and/or the rotation step of the second test signal. The foregoing step 206 and step 207 may be performed before step 201, and may be performed after step 203. The execution time of step 206 and step 207 is not limited in this embodiment.
