Base station that the public mobile communication base station is a form of radio station, refers to a certain radio coverage area, through the mobile communication switching center, and cell phone terminals between the radio transceiver radio transmission of information.
The construction of mobile communication base station is an important part of the investment of China's mobile communication operators, the construction of mobile communication base station is generally centered on the coverage, call quality, investment efficiency, ease of construction, easy maintenance and other elements.
With the development of mobile communication network services to data, packetization direction, the development trend of mobile communication base station is inevitable broadband, large coverage construction and IP.
Expanded Information:
Base stations will allow cell phones to have a signal everywhere they go, to make calls and send messages. Many times on the train I've seen some pointy high iron frames, and then next to them there are little houses with mobile logos on them, those would be the base stations.
Base station signals are sent and received through the antenna, the picture above is the antenna of the base station. Usually, a base station has 3 pairs of directional antennas, each covering a 120-degree sector.
The selection of a base station, need to be from the performance, supporting, compatibility and use of requirements and other aspects of the comprehensive consideration, which pay special attention to the base station equipment must be compatible with the mobile switching center or supporting, so as to achieve better communication results. Base station subsystem mainly includes two types of equipment: base transceiver station (BTS) and base station controller (BSC).
