Description

Radio station device, baseband unit and RF unit

The present invention relates to a radio station apparatus having a configuration in which a baseband unit and an RF unit are separated.

In a radio station such as a base station for cellular communication, an integrated radio station in which a baseband unit and an RF (Radio Frequency) unit are housed in the same housing, and an optical fiber or the like for installing antennas at a plurality of locations. The baseband unit and the RF unit that are connected to each other are used separately.

For the above-described separation type radio station, CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface) defines as an interface between a baseband unit called Radio Equipment Control and an RF unit called Radio Rquipment as a standard. ing.

The signal amount of the interface between the baseband unit and the RF unit is much larger than the signal amount of user data. For example, CPRI requires a maximum of 10 Gbps or more for the interface.

The signal between the baseband unit and the RF unit is a real time signal, and when a large delay occurs, the communication quality of the wireless communication itself deteriorates. For this reason, when compressing the interface signal between the baseband unit and the RF unit, it is not possible to use a method of compressing a large amount of accumulated signals at a variable compression rate. It is necessary to reduce the delay.

Also, since it is difficult to compress at a low delay and a fixed compression rate with lossless compression, an irreversible compression method is used when compressing an interface signal between a baseband unit and an RF unit. When the irreversible compression method is used, there is a problem that the original interface signal is distorted as the compression rate is increased, and the communication quality of wireless communication is deteriorated.

The RF unit of the radio station of this embodiment includes a controller 300, a BBU-RU interface unit 310, a compression / decompression unit 320, an RF module 330, and an antenna 340.

The controller 200 collects information from each part in the RF unit of the radio station, and controls the operation of the entire RF unit of the radio station by setting parameters in each part in the RF unit of the radio station.

The BBU-RU interface unit 310 is an interface unit that is connected to the BBU-RU interface 150. The BBU-RU interface unit 310 divides a signal input from the BBU-RU interface 150 for each antenna in accordance with an instruction from the controller 300, and compresses the baseband.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the compression / decompression process of the radio station according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The compression / decompression unit 250 of the baseband unit and the compression / decompression unit 320 of the RF unit according to the present invention perform the compression process by reducing the signal sampling frequency by reducing the signal sampling frequency. Further, the compression / decompression unit 250 of the baseband unit and the compression / decompression unit 320 of the RF unit according to the present embodiment perform the decompression process by restoring the sampling frequency of the signal reduced by the compression process.

In the following description, as an example, the sampling frequency of the signal before and after compression is F1 [Hz], and the sampling frequency of the signal after compression is F2 [Hz]. Further, it is assumed that the ratio of F1 and F2 is expressed by a ratio of two prime integers and is M: N, that is, there is a relationship of F1 × N = F2 × M.

As shown in FIG. 4, the compression / decompression process can be realized by a combination of a 0 insertion process 400, an LPF (Low Pass Filter) process 410, and a thinning process 420.

When the signal is compressed by the compression / decompression process, first, in the 0 insertion process 400, a signal having an amplitude 0 of N−1 samples is inserted into the input signal of the sampling frequency F1 [Hz] for each sample, and F1 × N A signal of [Hz] is generated. When N = 1, an input signal having a sampling frequency F1 [Hz] is output as it is. Next, in the LPF process 410, the band is limited by using a low-pass filter whose cutoff frequency is lower than F1 [Hz]. In the thinning process 420, one signal is selected for each M samples from the signal whose band is limited, and is output as a signal having a sampling frequency of F2 [Hz].

When the signal is restored by the compression / decompression process, first, in the 0 insertion process 400, a signal with an amplitude of 0 of M−1 samples is inserted into the input signal of the sampling frequency F2 [Hz] for each sample, and F2 A signal of × M [Hz] is generated. Next, in the LPF process 410, the band is limited using a low-pass filter whose cutoff frequency is lower than F2 [Hz]. In the thinning process 420, one signal is selected for every N samples in the signal whose band is limited, and is output as a signal having a sampling frequency of F1 [Hz].

Note that the above is an example, and any implementation is possible as long as an equivalent operation can be performed. For example, a Polyphase Filter capable of realizing a calculation equivalent to the combination of the 0 insertion process 400, the LPF process 410, and the thinning process 420 described above with a small calculation amount may be used.

For example, when compression / decompression processing is applied to a signal of generally 20 MHz bandwidth of LTE (Long Term Evolution), F1 = 30.72 [MHz] is selected. As F2, it is preferable to select a frequency that is larger than the effective bandwidth 18.0 [MHz] of the signal and can be expressed as a simple integer ratio with F1. For example, if F2 = 19.2 MHz as a value satisfying the above-described condition, M = 8 and N = 5.

FIG. 5 shows a schematic diagram of a signal obtained by the compression processing of this example. The signal before compression is 30.72 MHz as shown in FIG. The 0 insertion process 400 generates a signal of 153.60 MHz = 30.72 × 5 MHz as shown in FIG. Next, the band of the signal is limited by the LPF process 410, and the signal shown in FIG. 5C is generated. Further, one of the eight samples is selected in the thinning process 420, and a 19.2 MHz signal can be generated.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a low-pass filter that performs the LPF process 410 used in the compression / decompression process of the present invention.

The low-pass filter that performs the LPF process 410 includes an n−1 stage delay unit 810, a coefficient multiplier 820 that multiplies the input signal and the coefficient of each stage of the delay unit 810, and an adder 830 that adds the multiplication results. . That is, in the LPF process 410, the input signal is stored in the n−1 stage delay unit 810. The signal accumulated in the delay unit 810 is multiplied by a coefficient for each stage of delay in the coefficient multiplier 820, and the adder 830 adds all the multiplication results.

The characteristics of the signal processing of this configuration change depending on the delay amount in each stage of the delay unit 810 and the coefficient that the coefficient multiplier 820 multiplies in each stage. For example, in the example in which compression is performed in the compression / decompression process illustrated in FIG. 4, the delay amount for each stage in the delay unit 810 is M samples corresponding to the thinning process 420. Further, the result of Fourier transform of the coefficient multiplied by the coefficient multiplier 820 is the frequency characteristic of this signal processing. Further, the period of ripple (vibration) occurring in the frequency characteristics on the frequency axis is inversely proportional to the product of the delay amount per stage of the delay unit 810 and the number of coefficient multipliers 820. The product of the delay amount per stage of the delay unit 810 and the number of coefficient multipliers 820 is the filter length.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the frequency characteristics of the low-pass filter used in the compression processing of the embodiment of the present invention.

The low pass filter has a pass band 610 gain of 1 and a stop band 620 gain of 0, and it is desirable that the transition band 630 between the pass band 610 and the stop band 620 does not exist. A low-pass filter with typical characteristics requires infinite length signal processing and is not feasible. When the compression / decompression process of FIG. 4 is performed using an ideal low-pass filter, if the compressed sampling frequency F2 and cut-off frequency 650 are equal to or greater than the effective bandwidth of the signal before compression, the signal by the compression / decompression process Degradation does not occur. However, when compression / decompression processing is performed using a low-pass filter having realistic characteristics as shown in FIG. 7, the signal after compression and decompression is degraded from the signal before compression.

For example, when a low-pass filter having the characteristics shown in FIG. 7 is used, the signal is distorted because the gain of the pass band 610 is not 1. Further, since the gain of the stop band 620 is not 0, the signal derived from the mirror image generated in the 0 insertion process and the out-of-band noise at the time of reception are superimposed on the original signal and become noise. Similarly, when the transition region 630 extends to a frequency range where a mirror image is generated by the 0 insertion process, noise is superimposed on the original signal. In general, the characteristics of the low-pass filter are a trade-off between the characteristics of the pass band 610, the stop band 620, and the transition band 630.

As a design method of the low-pass filter as shown in FIG. 7, for example, there are a design based on the Remez method and a method of creating an ideal Sinc function by multiplying a window function such as a Kaiser window. When designed using the Remez method, ripples (oscillations) of equal amplitude occur in the passband. Further, when the window function is multiplied by the Sinc function, a larger ripple is generated in the pass band as it is closer to the stop band.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the frequency characteristics of the low-pass filter used for the restoration process of the embodiment of the present invention.

The phase of the ripple generated in the pass band 710 of the frequency characteristic of the low-pass filter used for the restoration process and the ripple generated in the pass band 610 of the low-pass filter used for the compression process are shifted (preferably a half cycle). ing. When the signal compressed using the low-pass filter having the characteristics shown in FIG. 7 is restored using the low-pass filter having the characteristics shown in FIG. 8, the frequency component whose gain is greater than 1 and distorted in the direction of increasing amplitude is restored. Sometimes distorted in the direction of decreasing amplitude. For this reason, when the combination of the low-pass filters of this embodiment is used, the distortion at the time of compression and the distortion at the time of restoration have complementary characteristics. For this reason, it is possible to obtain a good characteristic with less distortion, that is, a flat characteristic in the pass band, compared to the case where a low-pass filter having the same characteristic is used in the compression process and the decompression process.

A combination of filters in which the characteristics of the passbands cancel each other, such as the low-pass filter having the characteristics of FIG. 7 and the low-pass filter having the characteristics of FIG. 8, is, for example, an FIR filter having the same number of stages with different cutoff frequencies. Can be obtained by designing. For example, the difference between the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter used for compression and the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter used for restoration is proportional to the sampling frequency of the signal before compression and inversely proportional to the filter length of the low-pass filter The low-pass filter is designed so as to have a different value. More specifically, the difference between the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter used for the compression process and the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter used for the restoration process is a value divided by the number of stages of the filter. Since a mirror image signal is generated at a frequency lower than that at the time of compression during restoration, the cutoff frequency 750 of the low pass filter used for restoration is set lower than the cutoff frequency 650 of the low pass filter used for compression. Signal distortion caused by insufficient signal suppression can be suppressed, and aliasing noise can be reduced.

In addition, as described above, since the distortion of the pass band characteristics of the low pass filter used for compression and decompression cancel each other, when designing the low pass filter, the distortion of the stop band should be designed to be smaller than that of the pass band. And distortion of the entire signal when compression and decompression are combined can be reduced.

Since the baseband unit 100 and the RF unit 110 normally communicate bidirectionally, the baseband unit 100 and the RF unit 110 have a low-pass filter (FIG. 7) used by the transmitting unit for compression processing. The reception-side unit has a low-pass filter (FIG. 8) used for the restoration process.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the baseband unit 100 and the RF unit 110 are provided so as to face each other. The transmission-side unit has a first low-pass filter (FIG. 7) used for compression processing, and the reception-side unit of the baseband unit 100 and the RF unit 110 is the first low-pass filter. The frequency characteristics of the passband in FIG. 7 and the frequency characteristics of the passband are complementary characteristics, and have a second low-pass filter (FIG. 8) used for restoration processing, and the transmission-side unit has a first low-pass filter. The signal is compressed by down-sampling using a band-pass filter, the compressed signal is transmitted to the receiving unit, and the receiving unit uses a second low-pass filter Since the signal is restored by up-sampling the compressed signal, distortion of the signal between the baseband unit 100 and the RF unit 110 is reduced in a radio station having a configuration in which the baseband unit 100 and the RF unit 110 are separated. The amount of signal can be reduced while suppressing.

In addition, the ripple characteristic in the pass band of the first low-pass filter and the ripple characteristic in the pass band of the second low-pass filter are shifted by a half period of the ripple, so that distortion during compression occurs. And the distortion at the time of restoration can be canceled each other.

The first low-pass filter and the second low-pass filter have the same number of stages, and the cutoff frequency of the first low-pass filter and the cutoff of the second low-pass filter Since the difference from the frequency is a value obtained by dividing the sampling frequency of the signal before compression by the number of stages of the first and second low-pass filters, the filter can be easily designed.

Further, since the cutoff frequency of the first low-pass filter is set higher than the cutoff frequency of the second low-pass filter, aliasing noise can be reduced.

The distortion in the stop band of the first low-pass filter is set smaller than the distortion in the pass band, and the distortion in the stop band of the second low-pass filter is set smaller than the distortion in the pass band. It is possible to design with an emphasis on the characteristics of the stop band that cannot be complemented by.
