Authorization management method and system for signal transmission bandwidth of DAS communication system
Disclosed are an authorization management method and system for a signal transmission bandwidth of a DAS communication system. The system consists of an access unit, an extension unit, and a distal unit. The radio frequency access unit is connected to the extension unit. The extension unit is connected to the distal unit. The extension unit mainly implements the extension of a proximal unit port, the extension of a transmission distance, and a transmission bandwidth control function. The distal unit mainly implements the coverage of a radio frequency signal to a specific area. The signal transmission bandwidth of the extension unit is controlled by setting an authorization file formed by authorizing the transmission bandwidth on an extension unit device. When the signal transmission bandwidth configured by a user on the extension unit is not greater than the authorized bandwidth, the configuration becomes effective, and the system performs normal transmission. When the transmission bandwidth configured by the user on the extension unit is greater than the authorized bandwidth, the configuration is limited, the overflow bandwidth is not transmitted, and an abnormal indication is made. The present invention provides a flexible capacity allocation mode for a DAS, which indirectly expands the sales market.
1. A distributed antenna system (DAS) communication system, comprising an access unit, an expansion unit and a remote unit, wherein the access unit is connected to the expansion unit, the expansion unit is connected to the remote unit, the expansion unit is configured to expand a port of the access unit, extend a transmission distance of the access unit and control a transmission bandwidth of the access unit, and the remote unit is configured to implement coverage of a radio frequency signal on a specific area,
wherein a signal transmission bandwidth via the expansion unit is controlled according to an authorization file formed by setting an authorized transmission bandwidth on the expansion unit, and
wherein the authorization file is generated according to a device sequence number of the expansion unit and a transmission bandwidth required by a client, and when the authorization file is loaded into the expansion unit by a user, this expansion unit acquires a corresponding authorized transmission bandwidth after verifying that the authorization file is legal.
2. The DAS communication system of claim 1 , wherein when the signal transmission bandwidth configured by a user on the expansion unit is not greater than an authorized bandwidth, configuration takes effect, and the authorization management system performs normal transmission; and when the signal transmission bandwidth configured by the user on the expansion unit is greater than the authorized bandwidth, the configuration is restricted, and an overflowing bandwidth is not transmitted, and an abnormal indication is sent.
3. The DAS communication system of claim 1 , wherein the expansion unit verifies whether the authorization file is legal through verifying an electronic signature of the authorization file and a matching result between the device sequence number in the authorization file and a sequence number of this expansion unit; and a default authorized bandwidth is reset when the authorization file fails to pass the verification.
4. The DAS communication system of claim 1 , wherein the expansion unit is configured to acquire an authorized bandwidth through upgrading the authorization file.
5. A method for managing a signal transmission bandwidth of the DAS communication system of claim 1 , comprising:
generating an authorization file according to a sequence number of the expansion unit and a transmission bandwidth required by a user;
loading the authorization file into the expansion unit;
parsing, by the expansion unit, the authorization file to extract a digital signature of the authorization file and a device sequence number contained in the authorization file, verifying whether the digital signature of the authorization file has been authenticated and determining whether the device sequence number contained in the authorization file matches the sequence number of the expansion unit, when the digital signature has been authenticated and the device sequence number contained in the authorization file matches the sequence number of the expansion unit, extracting the transmission bandwidth from the authorization file to update the authorized transmission bandwidth of the expansion unit, and when the digital signature has not been authenticated or the device sequence number in the authorization file does not match the sequence number of the expansion unit, setting the authorized transmission bandwidth of the expansion unit to a factory default;
detecting, by the expansion unit, whether a transmission bandwidth configured in a coverage solution configured by the user exceeds the authorized transmission bandwidth;
when the transmission bandwidth configured by the user exceeds the authorized transmission bandwidth, prompting the user to adjust the coverage solution;
determining, by the expansion unit, whether a real time transmission bandwidth exceeds the authorized transmission bandwidth;
when the real time transmission bandwidth exceeds the authorized transmission bandwidth, transmitting a signal within the authorized transmission bandwidth, and discarding an overflowing part;
when a bandwidth overflowing event occurs, sending an overflow indication;
when the real time transmission bandwidth does not exceed the authorized transmission bandwidth, transmitting all signals normally; and
detecting the real time transmission bandwidth continuously.
