Targeting low-data-rate, low-power applications such as wearables, smart factories, and machine-to-machine (M2M), the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has proposed Cat. 1, Cat. 0 and other machine type communication (MTC) specifications. And is stepping up to the new version of Release 13 to develop a lower latency, lower cost Cat. 00 specification, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2015, and the introduction of terminal equipment and infrastructure from 2016 to 2017. Huang Junhao, commercial development manager of u-blox, said that the 3GPP MTC standard is for M2M communication applications with low data transmission rate and low power consumption requirements. The M2M application demand has made the LTE technology, which originally focused on high data transmission rate, a new way. In addition to the development of higher transmission speeds and the evolution of technology with low data transmission rate, 3GPP began to set the Cat. 0 standard in Release 12, and its data. The transmission rate is only 1Mbit/s, and the Cat. 00 standard is further proposed in the latest Release 13. The data rate is reduced to 200kbit/s in one breath, which significantly reduces the power consumption of the transceiver and the LTE technology in the M2M application. Competitiveness. It is understood that the Cat. 00 standard is set to reduce the complexity of the module design to reduce manufacturing costs, while the 200kbit/s data rate requires only a single transceiver antenna, using a half-duplex transmission mode, that is, Data can be transmitted in both directions at different times, but at the same time, data can only be transmitted in one direction, which reduces the complexity of radio frequency (RF) design. These designs are designed for applications that require low power and low cost, such as Smart Meters. Huang Junhao further pointed out that the above applications are not as mobile devices pay attention to the immediacy and low latency of large data transmission. These applications only need to transmit trace data and can tolerate high latency, so 3GPP specifically takes the receiving bandwidth of LTE MTC from The 20MHz is reduced to 1.4MHz, which reduces the baseband processing power consumption. Huang Junhao mentioned that the Cat. 00 specifications of LTE Cat. 1/0 and Release 13 will help simplify the deployment process for operators; some networks currently support Cat. 1, and it is expected to enter the business in June 2015. . As for the Cat. 00 specification, it is expected to be completed before the end of this year, and will be introduced between 2016 and 2017, and will enter the commercial deployment phase in 2018. Capacity challenges faced by operators On a global scale, operators are facing serious challenges from the growing demand for communication reliability, high speed and stability of cellular services. The key to solving this problem is to increase network capacity. In the past, operators have acquired additional capacity in three main ways: increasing spectrum efficiency, expanding spectrum range, and adding cells or sectors above existing network infrastructure. Since the amount of capacity depends on the Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR), to achieve maximum throughput, various techniques are needed to minimize noise in the RF path and maximize interference suppression. Below I will briefly explain the antenna technology that is most commonly deployed to address related issues. Increased capacity antenna solution Sector shaping For operators that have deployed LTE networks, they have realized that LTE networks are more sensitive to interference. To this end, RF engineers must be extra cautious when it comes to designing cellular and LTE antenna specifications for LTE networks. When operators deploy LTE networks in new frequency bands, they usually replace the old antennas with new ones, because the new antennas can add more antenna arrays in the same radome, providing additional LTE bands. port. Without increasing the radome, increasing the capacity of the site will not have much impact on site rental costs, wind loads and aesthetics. However, adding more antenna arrays to the same radome is not an easy task because the interaction between the arrays reduces beam pattern performance, which affects the quality of service of existing networks. Therefore, operators must ensure that the new multi-band antennas deployed in the network are not less than the replaced antennas in terms of performance. Operators should bear in mind two points when choosing a new antenna: the performance of the antenna should be described by a data sheet that conforms to the BASTA antenna standard, and the antenna should have good sector shaping performance. An antenna with excellent sector shaping performance maximizes the radiant energy that covers the user's cell and minimizes the radiant energy outside the cell that interferes with other users. The beam of this antenna has excellent sector edge roll-off characteristics as well as front-to-back ratio (F/B) and front side ratio (F/S). Multi-beam antenna Increasing the number of sectors in a site is a cost-effective way to expand. By covering a 120-degree sector with a single 65° beam and splitting it into two sectors by using a multi-beam antenna that radiates a pair of 33° beams, the capacity can almost double. Both beams are formed by a BSA pointing in the range of +/-30° from the normal, so that the dual beam antenna can simply replace the existing BSA without repositioning or re-pointing. CommScope offers a range of multi-beam solutions, including a 5-beam antenna system with high and low band options, and the industry's first 18-beam antenna, which can also be mounted on a vehicle-mounted base station (CoW). Increase the capacity of metropolitan sites in heterogeneous networks HetNet is comprised of macrocells and outdoor small cellular/metro cellular sites that collectively provide broad coverage and targeted areas of high volume data. Metropolitan cells are typically installed in streetlights and roadside facilities and are envisioned with simple omnidirectional directional whip antennas. CommScope's research with RF Planning and the University of Texas shows that deploying higher performance antennas at the metro site level can significantly increase capacity. CommScope designed a wide range of MetroCell antennas with smaller vertical beamwidth, upper sidelobe suppression, and beam down-tilt to deliver the higher performance required to achieve the value of a metro site investment. Looking to the future In the future, operators will inevitably face pressure from users to become more and more demanding on network speed and quality. Operators should continually advance the modernization of their networks and deploy advanced technologies for wireless infrastructure and services to prepare them for capacity challenges.
