According to the logical function division, the 5G base station can be divided into 5G baseband unit and 5G radio frequency unit, and the two can pass between them CPRI Or the eCPRI interface is connected.
The 5G baseband unit is responsible for NR baseband protocol processing, including the entire user surface (UP) and control surface (CP) protocol processing functions, and provides a backpass interface (NG interface) between the core network and the base station interconnect interface (Xn interface).

Key technology

EDITOR
The 5G base station construction network mostly uses a mixed layered network, which can ensure that the 5G network is easy to manage, scalable, and highly reliable, and can meet the high-speed data transmission service of 5G base stations. At the same time, because 5G is mainly to achieve data service transmission, 5G base stations need to adapt to the complex application environment of tall buildings, rivers and lakes, mountains and valleys. In order to ensure the good and integrity of 5G base station construction, the key technologies of 5G base station construction are briefly introduced below. [17]

MR Technique

MR Is a wireless communication environment assessment technology that can send collected information to the network administrator, who judges the value of the report in order to optimize the wireless network communication performance. The application of MR Technology includes coverage evaluation, network quality analysis, overreach coverage analysis, network interference analysis, traffic hot spot analysis and carrier-frequency hidden fault analysis. MR Can render the upstream and downstream signal strength of mobile communication and find the weak blind area of network coverage, which is not only objective and accurate, but also saves a lot of time and resources, and can timely find network coverage problems, providing further basis for network coverage optimization. MR Can realize 24 hours x 7 days real-time data collection, complete the quality analysis of upstream and downstream wireless networks, reflect the real situation of the whole network call quality, and improve the follow-up data support of the whole network call. During the construction of wireless network, if the overzone coverage is too large, it will interfere with the communication quality of other cells. MR Can intuitively find the coverage boundary of the cell, determine whether there is overzone coverage, and adjust the wireless network structure. Traffic hotspot area analysis enables traffic density, distribution, and resource utilization indicators to be analyzed, enabling comprehensive correlation analysis, and accurate planning for capacity sites and capacity expansion sites. [17]

64QAM technology

64QAM Can be reasonably promoted SINR Scientific planning and design for 5G networks can reduce the complexity of 5G network deployment, reduce the same frequency interference and weak coverage caused by overlapping coverage, and increase the depth of coverage and improve the comprehensive coverage of 5G networks while meeting the requirements of wide coverage of 5G networks, so as to achieve continuous coverage and seamless coverage of hot spots. It can not only allow more users to access 5G networks, but also enjoy high-quality communication services. The application of 64QAM in 5G network communication is divided into two steps, namely modulation and demodulation. The 64QAM modulation process is as follows: 64QAM can form a map of the input 6-bit data; multilevel Quadrature amplitude modulation Generate a 64QAM IF signal; Parallel conversion The two parallel code streams are changed into one serial code stream, the rate can be doubled, the code stream is changed from 2 base to 8 base, and then the output modulation can be made RF signal . The 64QAM demodulation process is as follows: When 5G network transmits signals, due to the limitations of the natural environment or the carrier itself, signal transmission is inevitably affected by noise interference, resulting in signal distortion. If the distortion is very small, it can be directly judged as 0 or 1. If the distortion is serious and the signal cannot be directly judged, hard judgment and soft judgment methods can be used to accurately and quickly identify the signal. [17]

Anti-interference technique

During the construction of 5G network base stations, a large number of wireless devices need to be deployed, and the number of these wireless devices is very large, and the installation and deployment sites are also very complex, which will cause mutual interference between each other. The reasons for interference mainly include the fault of the equipment itself, and the channel often transmits wrong signals during the operation of 5G network, affecting the quality of its own signals. The installation and configuration of 5G network equipment is seriously irregular, which affects the sensitivity of 5G signal transmission. 5G network interference mainly refers to radio interference, which includes intermodulation interference and out-of-band interference. Therefore, when constructing 5G base stations, design and construction personnel need to solve the problem of signal interference from the source, which can not only ensure the stability of the signal, but also greatly improve the efficiency of control and management. Specifically, first of all, the whole electromagnetic detection of the base station radio transmitting equipment is carried out to minimize the possible interference caused by the equipment itself; The second is to regularly strengthen the inspection of power generation equipment, once the problem is found, it is timely dealt with, and then reduce the interference of the signal. [17]

MIMO technology

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, also known as Multi-antenna technique by Communication link In the past 20 years, it has been one of the mainstream technologies in the field of wireless communication to provide diversity gain to improve the reliability of the system, provide multiplexing gain to increase the spectral efficiency of the system, and provide array gain to improve the power efficiency of the system. MIMO technology The 3rd Generation Partnership Project has been approved by The 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP ) of LTE/LTE-Advanced with Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) adopted 4G standards such as WiMAX. However, the existing 4G system base station configuration antenna number is small (generally no more than 8), MIMO performance gain is greatly limited. In view of the shortcomings of traditional MIMO technology, Marzetta of Bell LABS in the United States proposed the concept of Massive MIMO (Massive MIMO or Very Large MIMO) in 2010. In the massive MIMO system, the base station is equipped with tens to hundreds of antennas, which increases the number of antennas by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude compared with traditional MIMO system. The base station makes full use of the spatial freedom of the system to serve several users in the same time-frequency resource.
The evolution from traditional MIMO to massive MIMO is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. Since the number of base station antennas and the number of air division users in massive MIMO have increased by orders of magnitude compared with traditional MIMO, there are similarities and differences in the basic principles and specific methods of wireless communication, and fruitful achievements have been achieved in the basic theory of massive MIMO, channel measurement and modeling, channel information acquisition, wireless transmission, experiment and testing. Massive MIMO has passed relatively ideal laboratory validation and field tests closer to reality, and has achieved huge performance gains in line with expectations. In the future, the research and development institutions will further carry out networking verification, laying a good foundation for the future commercial use of large-scale MIMO in 5G systems. [18]

5G mobile communication technology can meet people's needs for fast growing mobile communication services such as high speed, large capacity, high reliability and low delay. On a large scale MIMO As one of the key technologies of 5G mobile communication, active antenna technology can be greatly improved by spatial reuse Frequency spectrum Use efficiency, combined with new encoding The technology can greatly improve the communication system capacity and communication rate. Therefore, the massive MIMO active antenna technology is 5G Mobile communication base station The technology is generally used, but it is followed by the problem of how to test 5G base station antennas.
For traditional base stations, antennas and RRU Radio Remote Unite (RF remote Unit) is separated from each other, they are connected by RF cable, relatively independent, performance does not affect each other, their respective performance can be verified by independent testing. antenna Radiation performance tests are available at Microwave darkroom Done either far or near field, Passive antenna Both far-field and near-field testing methods are widely used to test antenna performance. Radiofrequency indicators of RRU can be conducted in the laboratory measure .
With reference to the traditional base station testing methods, it is easy to put forward the scheme of dividing the active antenna system into passive antenna array and RRU for antenna radiation performance testing and RF conduction testing respectively. In fact, according to laboratory test experience, the beamforming pattern measured by "passive antenna array + power division network + signal source" is integrated with the 5G base station active antenna OTA the results of the Over the Air tests have been inconsistent. The RF performance conduction test results of the "RRU+ coupling board" are also different from the RF radiation index measured by the integrated OTA. The reason is that for 5G base station antennas, the antenna is integrated with RRU, on the one hand Electromagnetic coupling Interference factors such as active standing wave can not be completely eliminated; On the other hand, the calibration and amplitude-phase weighting of active antennas are accomplished through a series of active devices on each RF channel, which is very different from the way that passive antenna arrays are weighted by passive power division networks. Therefore, for 5G base stations using large-scale MIMO active antenna technology, integration OTA testing In order to effectively reflect its performance indicators. Especially to Millimeter wave The frequency band, Frequency band Taller, smaller equipment size, Electromagnetic interference The problem is more prominent, the split test will be very difficult, can only use the integrated OTA test solution.
The 3GPP 5G new air interface protocol frozen in December 2017 has written OTA test specifications for all radio frequency performance indicators of 5G base stations, which means that 5G base station antenna integration OTA test will become 5G base stations Hardware performance Test the main scenario. However, OTA testing of RF indicators still faces many difficulties. [19]
The 1-H, 1-O and 2-O station types defined in the 5G standard all specify the corresponding OTA RF test items. In particular, 1-O and 2-O station types, without the traditional conduction test antenna interface, all RF test items need to be tested in OTA environment, test items include transmit power, modulation quality, occupied bandwidth, adjacent channel leakage power ratio, stray, intermodulation, sensitivity, blocking, and so on. So a full anechoic room for OTA testing such as: Far field , Packed field Midfields, small fields with plane-wave generators, etc., become necessary environmental choices. 3GPP It is recommended in the standard Far field There are four options: compressed field, one-dimensional compressed field, and near-field, and suggestions on calibration and testing methods for MU (Measurement Uncertainty) of different fields and related test items are given. For one-dimensional compressed field, the plane wave generator has been developed according to the similar principle, and a lot of system testing and verification work has been carried out. [20]

problem

5G base station AAU uses Massive MIMO (large-scale multi-input multi-output) technology, resulting in increased equipment power, 5G base station power is about 4G 3~4 times the base station; At the same time, a large number of 5G base stations and existing base stations are built together, which brings greater difficulties to the supporting power of base stations. If the original switching power supply is shared directly, the switching power supply capacity will be insufficient. Rechargeable battery Lack of backup time; If you need to build or replace a switching power supply, you will waste a lot of investment. Operators have different requirements for 5G base stations and the original base station power backup time, how to configure switching power supplies and batteries; How can 5G reduce power loss? These are the problems that need to be solved when 5G base station construction. [21]

solution

Conventional switching power supply
Using traditional switching power supply to supply 5G power is the most commonly used 5G power supply construction solution. Traditional switching power supply: When the total capacity of the switching power supply is sufficient, you can directly use the original switching power supply and expand the rectifier module and battery. When the total capacity of the switching power supply is insufficient, you can replace or create a new switching power supply. [21]
Advantages: Using the original base station switching power supply, only need to expand the rectifier module, which can save a lot of investment, shorten the construction period, and quickly deliver the project. When the traditional switching power supply is used, the AC power can be used to power the equipment after one conversion through the switching power supply, the number of power conversion is small, and the conversion efficiency is high.

Disadvantages: AAU (Active antenna unit) uses 48V power supply, the power supply distance is short, and the loss is large. If the same set of switching power supply is used to power the original device and the 5G device, the backup time of the 5G device is the same as that of other original devices. If the capacity of the original battery is insufficient, the new battery needs to be connected in parallel with the battery switching system (also known as the battery sharing manager), which will increase the construction cost. [21]
DC/DC The (DC/DC) converter powers 5G, adding DC/DC devices on the basis of the traditional power supply scheme. [21]
Advantages: Add less equipment, power supply distance is far. [21]
Disadvantages: There are many times of electric energy conversion, and the energy loss is large in the conversion process. [21]
High voltage DC remote supply
High voltage DC remote supply, this solution is based on the traditional switching power supply, add DC remote supply equipment for 5G equipment power supply. [21]
Advantages: The power supply distance is far, 5G application scenarios are basically no restrictions, suitable for long-distance, high-power power supply scenarios, if the two stations need to build a new optical cable, photoelectric composite cable can be used to reduce the construction cost of optical cable and reduce costs. [21]
Disadvantages: More equipment needs to be added, and the power in a short distance is due to many conversion times, and the loss is large, compared with the traditional switching power supply. [21]
Distributed power supply for 5G is often used for existing base stations and new base stations. [21]
Distributed power supply + blade battery
Distributed power supply + blade battery for 5G power supply is often used in existing base stations and new base stations. [21]

Base station energy consumption

Energy consumption problem

Base station energy consumption is mainly electricity, compared with 4G network, 5G power consumption is not only increased by more than three times, and due to the attenuation of coverage, the number of 5G base station demand is doubled, therefore, for operators, the high power consumption of 5G base stations has even become the main reason for restricting 5G network construction. [22]
5G base station
The main energy consumption of 5G base stations is concentrated in four parts: base station, transmission, power supply and room air conditioning, and the electricity expenditure of base stations accounts for more than 80% of the overall network energy consumption. In the power consumption of base station, the baseband unit (BBU) which is responsible for processing signal codec is relatively small, and the radio frequency unit (RRU/AAU) is the main source of power consumption.
It is estimated that at the current average transfer electricity price of 1.3 yuan/degree, the annual electricity cost of a 4G base station is 20,280 yuan, and the annual electricity cost of a 5G base station will be as high as 54,600 yuan.
At present, the mobile communication base station room is a fully enclosed room, and the power supply equipment, transmission equipment and transmission equipment in the room are larger heating bodies. To maintain a certain working environment temperature in the machine room (base station environmental standard GB50174-93 stipulates that the base station temperature is 18°C-28°C for a long time), mainly by air conditioning to achieve, in order to ensure that the equipment operates at a constant temperature, not because the temperature is too high and down, the refrigeration system must be continuously cooled for the base station, which is also one of the important reasons for high operating costs. [22]

solution

1. Transition from power transfer mode to direct power supply mode. On March 24, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Notice on Promoting the Accelerated development of 5G, pointing out that supporting facilities such as base stations and computer rooms with the conditions should be accelerated from power supply to direct power supply. In the absence of subsidies, the price of direct supply is about 20 per cent lower than that of conversion. [22]
2. Policy support. Many local governments have put forward targeted support such as reducing electricity charges in 5G strategic planning, and local governments have introduced policies to open up various municipal public resources to speed up 5G network construction, and financial support has also become the focus of local policy support.

Difficulty analysis

5G networks are fully cloud-based, bringing functional flexibility while also bringing many technical and engineering challenges:
(1) Network cloud makes cross-layer fault location difficult, and the later upgrade process is more complicated and inefficient.
(2) The introduction of edge computing doubled the number of nes and increased the difficulty of locating problems.
(3) Microservice, users more customized business, but also put forward high requirements for business orchestration ability.
(4) In terms of transmission, massive tunnels are dynamically changing, and manual planning and analysis and adjustment cannot meet business needs; The construction and maintenance of high-precision clock requires high and difficult requirements, and new support means are needed. Large-width transmission, once failure occurs, requires faster recovery of technical means, otherwise it will lead to greater impact and loss. [23]
