Abstract

An uplink signal transmission method includes receiving, by an active antenna unit of a base station, a first uplink signal sent by a terminal in a first band. The method also includes sending, by the base station, the first uplink signal to a first baseband processing unit of the base station corresponding to a second band for demodulation. The active antenna unit of the base station includes a first array antenna corresponding to the first band and a second array antenna corresponding to the second band. The first band is lower than the second band.

Claims (43)

1. An uplink signal transmission method, comprising:

receiving, by an active antenna unit of a base station, a first uplink signal sent by a terminal in a first band;

receiving, by a remote radio unit of the base station corresponding to the first band, a second uplink signal sent by the terminal in the first band;

sending, by the base station, the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal to a first baseband processing unit of the base station corresponding to a second band;

sending, by the remote radio unit of the base station, the second uplink signal to a second baseband processing unit of the base station corresponding to the first band;

sending, by the second baseband processing unit of the base station, the second uplink signal to the first baseband processing unit for joint demodulation on the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal; and

performing, by the first baseband processing unit of the base station, the joint demodulation on the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal,

wherein

the active antenna unit of the base station comprises a first array antenna corresponding to the first band and a second array antenna corresponding to the second band, and

the first band is lower than the second band.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the base station sends the first uplink signal to the first baseband processing unit by way of a common public radio interface or an enhanced common public radio interface, and the common public radio interface or the enhanced common public radio interface independently communicates data in the first band.

3. A base station, comprising:

an active antenna unit, comprising a first array antenna corresponding to a first band and a second array antenna corresponding to a second band;

a first baseband processing unit corresponding to the second band;

a second baseband processing unit corresponding to the first band; and

a remote radio unit corresponding to the first band,

wherein

the active antenna unit is configured to receive a first uplink signal sent by a terminal in the first band,

the remote radio unit is configured to:

receive a second uplink signal sent by the terminal in the first band; and

send the second uplink signal to the second baseband processing unit,

the second baseband processing unit is configured to send the second uplink signal to the first baseband processing unit to jointly demodulate the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal,

the first baseband processing unit is configured to jointly demodulate the received first uplink and the second uplink signal, and

the first band is lower than the second band.

4. The base station according to claim 3 , wherein the first array antenna comprises a common public radio interface or an enhanced common public radio interface configured to send the first uplink signal to the first baseband processing unit, and the common public radio interface or the enhanced common public radio interface independently communicates data in the first band.

5. The base station according to claim 3 , wherein a dipole of the first array antenna is located in an interval between dipoles of the second array antenna.

6. An uplink signal transmission system, comprising:

a base station; and

a terminal, configured to send a first uplink signal and a second uplink signal to the base station in the first band,

wherein

the base station comprises:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the processor and having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the base station to:

receive, by an active antenna unit of the base station, the first uplink signal sent by the terminal in the first band;

receive by a remote radio unit of the base station corresponding to the first band, the second uplink signal sent by the terminal in the first band;

send the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal to a first baseband processing unit of the base station corresponding to a second band;

send, by the remote radio unit of the base station, the second uplink signal to a second baseband processing unit of the base station corresponding to the first band;

send, by the second baseband processing unit of the base station, the second uplink signal to the first baseband processing unit for joint demodulation on the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal; and

jointly demodulate, by the first baseband processing unit of the base station, the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal,

wherein

the active antenna unit of the base station comprises a first array antenna corresponding to the first band and a second array antenna corresponding to the second band, and

the first band is lower than the second band.

7. The uplink signal transmission system according to claim 6 , wherein the first array antenna comprises a common public radio interface or an enhanced common public radio interface configured to send the first uplink signal to the first baseband processing unit, and the common public radio interface or the enhanced common public radio interface independently communicates data in the first band.
