Alarm method and apparatus for a mobile communication repeating system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An alarm method in a mobile communication repeating system having a plurality of repeating modules and a repeating interface unit for providing an interface between said plurality of repeating modules and a base station transceiver, comprising the steps of:
- determining an alarm state by said repeating modules by checking whether a self-repeating module is in a failure state by comparing at least a first and second signal level with at least a first and second reference level, respectively; and
informing said base station transceiver of said alarm state when said self-repeating module is in said failure state, wherein said failure state includes one of a transmitting failure state, a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) failure state, and a combination thereof.

Abstract
An alarm method and apparatus in a mobile communication repeating system having a plurality of repeating modules for informing a base station that a repeating module is out of order. The repeating modules respectively check whether a self repeating module is out of order. A repeating interface unit informs the base station of an alarm state according to a failure of a particular repeating module.

3. An alarm apparatus in a mobile communication repeating system having a plurality of repeating modules and a repeating interface unit for providing interface between said repeating modules and a base station transceiver, said apparatus comprising:
-
an alarm monitor connected to said repeating interface unit, for transmitting a state inquiry message for inquiring whether said plurality of repeating modules are out of order by sequentially designating said repeating modules, and informing said base station transceiver of an alarm state according to state information included in an acknowledge message that is received from at least one of said plurality of repeating modules; and a failure detector connected to each of said repeating modules, for checking whether a self-repeating module is out of order in response to said state inquiry message designating said self-repeating module by detecting a transmitting signal level output from said self-repeating module to another repeating module and comparing said transmitting signal level output to a reference level, and transmitting said state information to said alarm monitor. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
