Abstract
A system and a method for wireless communications, where the system includes: an antenna subsystem, where the antenna subsystem includes at least one antenna unit, the antenna unit includes at least two antenna elements, at least one power splitter/combiner connected to the at least one antenna unit, and at least one switch unit correspondingly connected to the at least one power splitter/combiner, By adopting the method or the system in the embodiments of the present invention, network resources of switch units can be saved.
Claims10
A wireless communication system, comprising:
- an antenna subsystem, wherein the antenna subsystem comprises at least one antenna unit, the antenna unit comprises at least two antenna elements, and the antenna elements are configured to radiate or receive wireless communication signals;
- at least one power splitter/combiner connected to the at least one antenna unit, wherein the at least one power splitter/combiner is configured to combine at least two wireless communication signals radiated by the at least two antenna elements which are comprised by the antenna unit, or divide a received wireless communication signal into at least two wireless communication signals on average;
- and
- at least one switch unit correspondingly connected to the at least one power splitter/combiner, wherein the at least one switch unit is configured to perform switch control on the wireless communication signals radiated or received by the antenna unit.
A wireless communication method, comprising:
- radiating or receiving, by an antenna element, wireless communication signals, wherein at least two antenna elements form an antenna unit, and at least one antenna unit forms an antenna subsystem;
- combining, by at least one power splitter/combiner connected to the at least one antenna unit, at least two wireless communication signals radiated by the at least two antenna elements which are comprised by the antenna unit, or dividing a received wireless communication signal into at least two wireless communication signals on average;
- and
- performing, by at least one switch unit correspondingly connected to the at least one power splitter/combiner, switch control on the wireless communication signals radiated or received by the antenna unit.
