  • 摘要: 针对5G通信技术高传输速率、多业务场景的挑战,该文提出一种组件化的软件定义无线接入网络新架构。该架构在5G接入网集中单元(CU),分布单元(DU),有源天线单元(AAU)架构的基础上,进一步朝组件化方向演进,形成一种由集中控制单元(CCU), CU, DU,射频单元(RU),AAU等组件化通信单元组成的新架构。这种新架构既有利于切片化、虚拟化实现无线接入网,又有利于应用分布式计算技术和硬件加速技术突破通用处理器的计算能力瓶颈,还能降低DU与AAU之间的前传压力。该文还研制了基于此架构的组件化软基站试验原型并进行了测试,结果表明该组件化方案在提供高度灵活性的同时,还能够提升通用处理器软基站的吞吐能力,并有效降低远端站址传输流量。
