Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a communication device to solve the above technical problem.

In this embodiment, thecommunication device 10 may be disposed on top of an aircraft to improve the communication quality of wireless communication between thecommunication device 10 and thesatellite 20 or a terrestrial network. Alternatively, thecommunication device 10 may be located elsewhere on the aircraft. It will be appreciated that thecommunication device 10 is positioned to avoid interference with the communication signal.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic block diagram of acommunication device 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, thecommunication device 10 may communicate with thesatellite 20 to enable communication between thecommunication device 10 and a satellite network, and/or thecommunication device 10 may communicate with thebase station 30 to enable communication between thecommunication device 10 and a terrestrial network. Thecommunication device 10 may communicate with the on-board terminal 40, that is, the on-board terminal 40 may communicate with thesatellite 20 and/or thebase station 30 via thecommunication device 10. In some embodiments of the present application, thecommunication device 10 may further enable communication with thecloud back stage 50 via thesatellite 20 and/or thebase station 30, so that the on-board terminal 40 may enable communication with thecloud back stage 50 via thecommunication device 10.

Specifically, thecommunication device 10 may include acontrol chip 100, afirst antenna 210, asecond antenna 220, and athird antenna 230. Thecommunication device 10 can communicate with thesatellite 20 via thefirst antenna 210, thecommunication device 10 can communicate with thebase station 30 via thesecond antenna 220, and thecommunication device 10 can communicate with the on-board terminal 40 via thethird antenna 230. Wherein thecontrol chip 100 is configured to control thefirst antenna 210 to communicate with thesatellite 20, i.e. thecontrol chip 100 may be used to control thefirst antenna 210 to transceive communication signals between thecommunication device 10 and thesatellite 20. Thecontrol chip 100 is further configured for controlling thesecond antenna 220 to communicate with thebase station 30, i.e. thecontrol chip 100 may be used for controlling thesecond antenna 220 to transceive communication signals between thecommunication device 10 and thebase station 30. Thecontrol chip 100 is further configured to control thethird antenna 230 to communicate with the on-board terminal 40, i.e. thecontrol chip 100 may be used to control thethird antenna 230 to transceive communication signals between thecommunication device 10 and the on-board terminal 40.

Thefirst antenna 210 may be an antenna array, which is formed by feeding and spatially arranging two or more single antennas operating at the same frequency according to a certain requirement, that is, the antenna array is an antenna system formed by arranging a plurality of identical single antennas according to a certain rule, and antenna radiation units forming the antenna array are called array elements. The basic principle of the method is that after a microprocessor receives control information containing communication directions, the phase shift amount of each phase shifter is calculated according to an algorithm provided by control software, and then the phase shift process is completed by controlling a feed network through an antenna controller. The phase shift can compensate the time difference generated when the same signal reaches different array elements, so that the in-phase superposition of the output of the antenna array reaches the maximum. Once the signal direction changes, the maximum pointing direction of the antenna array beam can be changed correspondingly by adjusting the phase shift amount of the phase shifter, so that beam scanning and tracking are realized. In the present embodiment, thefirst antenna 210 is used to enable communication between thecommunication device 10 and thesatellite 20.

Thesecond antenna 220 may be an antenna of a 4G/5G communication module, and the 4G/5G communication module is a communication module capable of receiving an electromagnetic wave signal transmitted by thebase station 30 and converting the electromagnetic wave signal into an internal transmission signal of thecommunication device 10, and converting the internal transmission signal of thecommunication device 10 into an electromagnetic wave signal and transmitting the electromagnetic wave signal to thebase station 30.

Thethird antenna 230 may be an omni-directional antenna, which is an antenna having no maximum radiation and reception direction in the horizontal plane, or a directional antenna, which is an antenna having one or more directions having maximum radiation and reception capabilities. In the present embodiment, thethird antenna 230 is used to enable communication between thecommunication device 10 and the on-board terminal 40.

Based on this, the applicant provides acommunication device 10 capable of switching between terrestrial network communication and satellite communication according to actual conditions, wherein thecommunication device 10 can communicate with the terrestrial network for a long time to reduce communication cost, and switch to satellite communication when the communication state of the terrestrial network is not good, and switch to terrestrial network communication when the communication state of the terrestrial network is good.

To realize the communication with thesatellite 20 and/or thebase station 30, thecommunication device 10 not only needs to have the function of tracking thesatellite 20 quickly in real time, but also needs to provide the functions of wireless routing, WIFI wireless signals, accessing 4G/5G network signals, terminal APP control display function, fault diagnosis, etc., and it is difficult to satisfy the functional requirements of thecommunication device 10 as an airborne mobile satellite terminal by a single operating system. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides acommunication device 10 that can run at least two operating systems simultaneously, so as to meet the design requirements of thecommunication device 10.

Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides acommunication device 10 that can run the FreeRTOS operating system and the Linux operating system at the same time to meet the design requirements of thecommunication device 10.

It is to be understood that the selection of the two operating systems is adopted according to the design requirements of thecommunication device 10 in the embodiment of the present application, and the present application is not limited to the selection of the two specific operating systems, and any operating system that can meet the design requirements of the present invention is within the optional scope.

It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" and "third" in the embodiments of the present application are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first," "second," or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the feature. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means at least two, e.g., two, three, etc., unless specifically limited otherwise.

Further, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic block diagram of a structure of thecommunication device 10 in the embodiment of fig. 2. In this embodiment, thecontrol chip 100 may have afirst processor 110, asecond processor 120 and amemory 130 built therein, thefirst processor 110 being configured to run a first operating system, such as a FreeRTOS operating system, and control thefirst antenna 210 to communicate with thesatellite 20, thesecond processor 120 being configured to run a second operating system, such as a Linux operating system, and control thesecond antenna 220 to communicate with thebase station 30, and control thethird antenna 230 to communicate with the on-board terminal 40. Thefirst processor 110 and thesecond processor 120 are respectively coupled to thememory 130, that is, thefirst processor 110 and thesecond processor 120 may share the memory to realize data interaction. Of course, in other embodiments, thefirst processor 110 and thesecond processor 120 may also be used to run other different operating systems, respectively, to meet the communication requirements of thecommunication device 10.

It is noted that the term "coupled" is used herein to encompass any direct or indirect connection. Therefore, if the first element is coupled to the second element, it means that the first element can be directly connected to the second element through an electrical connection or a signal connection such as wireless transmission or optical transmission, or indirectly connected to the second element through another element or a connection means.

In an embodiment, thecommunication device 10 may further include afrequency converter 300 and acarrier receiver 400. Thefrequency converter 300 is connected to thefirst antenna 210, and is configured to perform frequency conversion processing on a communication signal received and transmitted by thefirst antenna 210 and output a frequency-converted signal. Thecarrier receiver 400 is connected to thefrequency converter 300 and thefirst processor 110, respectively, and is configured to receive the frequency-converted signal output by thefrequency converter 300 and perform signal strength detection on the frequency-converted signal, so as to output a detection signal to thefirst processor 110. Thefirst processor 110 is connected to thecarrier receiver 400, and controls a communication state between thefirst antenna 210 and thesatellite 20, that is, controls an attitude of an antenna array of thefirst antenna 210 based on the detection signal output from thecarrier receiver 400.

Specifically, thefirst antenna 210 communicates with thesatellite 20 by receiving directional satellite signals and transmitting a directional beam. The satellite signal received by thefirst antenna 210 is processed by thefrequency converter 300 and then transmitted to thecarrier receiver 400; thecarrier receiver 400 receives the frequency-converted data signal, and performs signal strength detection on the data signal to feed back the detected data signal strength to thefirst processor 110 in real time. The first processor controls the attitude of thefirst antenna 210 based on the magnitude of the data signal strength, that is, controls the antenna array to face the direction corresponding to the maximum value of the data signal strength, so that the beam of the antenna array points to the direction of the maximum value of the satellite signal strength, and the communication effectiveness between thefirst antenna 210 and thesatellite 20 is the best.

Further, thefirst processor 110 may also write communication status data between thefirst antenna 210 and thesatellite 20 to thememory 130. Thesecond processor 120 may read the communication status data in thememory 130 and control the on-board terminal 40 to communicate with thesatellite 20 and/or control the on-board terminal 40 to communicate with thebase station 30, i.e., the ground network, according to the communication status between thefirst antenna 210 and thesatellite 20.

Further, thesecond processor 120 is used for configuring themodem 500 and therouter 600, and thesecond processor 120 may switch the communication mode of the on-board terminal 40 with the outside to the communication with thesatellite 20 through thefirst antenna 210 and/or the communication with thebase station 30, i.e., the terrestrial network, through thesecond antenna 220 in combination with the communication state data between thefirst antenna 210 and thesatellite 20 and the external instruction stored in thememory 130.

In an embodiment, themodem 500 may be further connected to thefrequency converter 300 and thecarrier receiver 400, respectively, thefrequency converter 300 may process the received satellite signal and output the processed satellite signal to thecarrier receiver 400, and thecarrier receiver 400 may transmit the received satellite signal (i.e., the processed frequency-converted signal by the frequency converter 300) to themodem 500, so that the on-board terminal 40 can receive the satellite signal. Themodem 500 may further transmit the received signal sent by the on-board terminal 40 to thefrequency converter 300, and further may transmit the signal to thesatellite 20 via thefirst antenna 210 after being processed by thefrequency converter 300, so as to implement communication between the on-board terminal 40 and thesatellite 20. Preferably, themodem 500 is connected to thefrequency converter 300 and thecarrier receiver 400 in a wireless communication manner, respectively, that is, themodem 500 can convert signals sent by the on-board terminal 40 into radio frequency signals and send the radio frequency signals to thefrequency converter 300, and thecarrier receiver 400 is configured to send the received frequency-converted signals to themodem 500 by means of radio frequency signal transmission.

Themodem 500 is mainly used for performing modulation, demodulation and network functions of transmitting and receiving signals, and can communicate with therouter 600 by using a TCP/IP protocol. Thesecond processor 120 may be used to configure themodem 500 and therouter 600 so that themodem 500 may communicate with thefirst antenna 210, and the communication of thesecond processor 120 with themodem 500 and therouter 600 may also take the TCP/IP protocol. Therouter 600 may communicate with thebase station 30 through thesecond antenna 220 of themodule 700 and may also communicate with the on-board terminal 40 through thethird antenna 230.

Specifically, the on-board terminal 40 may communicate with therouter 600 through thethird antenna 230, and the data signal is modulated and demodulated by themodem 500, processed by thefrequency converter 300, and transmitted to thesatellite 20 through thefirst antenna 210. The on-board terminal 40 may also receive a satellite signal through thecommunication device 10, that is, the satellite signal is transmitted to thefrequency converter 300 through thefirst antenna 210, and the data signal processed by thefrequency converter 300 is modulated and demodulated by themodem 500 and then transmitted to therouter 600, and further transmitted to the on-board terminal 40 through thethird antenna 230. As can be appreciated, therouter 600 may wirelessly communicate with the on-board terminal 40 through thethird antenna 230, i.e., wirelessly communicate with the on-board terminal 40 through a WiFi network; therouter 600 may also be in wired communication with the on-board terminal 40 via a connection line, and therouter 600 and the on-board terminal 40 may be connected via an RJ45 interface.

Among them, the on-board terminal 40 may be a device that receives/transmits a communication signal via a wireless interface, and the on-board terminal 40 configured to communicate through the wireless interface may be referred to as a "wireless communication terminal", "wireless terminal", or "mobile terminal". Examples of mobile terminals include, but are not limited to, satellite or cellular telephones; a Personal Communications System (PCS) terminal that may combine a cellular radiotelephone with data processing, facsimile and data communications capabilities; PDAs that may include radiotelephones, pagers, internet/intranet access, Web browsers, notepads, calendars, and/or Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers; and conventional laptop and/or palmtop receivers or other electronic devices that include a radiotelephone transceiver. A cellular phone is an electronic device equipped with a cellular communication module.

In addition, the on-board terminal 40 may further communicate with a ground network through thecommunication device 10, specifically, the on-board terminal 40 may communicate with thesecond antenna 220 through therouter 600, thesecond antenna 220 may be a 4G/5G communication module, and the on-board terminal 40 may communicate with thebase station 30 through thesecond antenna 220, thereby achieving communication with the ground network. The 4G/5G communication module may be connected to therouter 600 through a PCIE interface.

Further, thecommunication device 10 may communicate with thecloud backend 50 through thesatellite 20 and/or thebase station 30, for example, obtain the communication status data of thefirst antenna 210 through the shared memory for local log storage and remote data transmission back to the server. Further, the on-board terminal 40 may also communicate with thecloud backend 50 via thesatellite 20 and/or thebase station 30, for example, to remotely download upgrade packages to implement device software upgrades.

Further, thesecond processor 120 may also switch the communication mode of the on-board terminal 40 with the outside to the communication with thesatellite 20 through thefirst antenna 210 and/or the communication with thebase station 30 through thesecond antenna 220 in combination with the communication state between thefirst antenna 210 and thesatellite 20 and the external instruction. Wherein, the external instruction may be a communication state change of thecommunication device 10 with the outside, for example, when thecommunication device 10 exceeds a signal coverage area of a radio network or communication with a ground network is interrupted for other reasons, thesecond processor 120 may control thecommunication device 10 to communicate with thesatellite 20 to prevent the on-board terminal 40 from interrupting communication with the outside; when communication between thecommunication device 10 and thesatellite 20 is interrupted, thesecond processor 120 may control thecommunication device 10 to communicate with the ground network, and may further send fault information to the cloud backoffice 50, and/or receive maintenance information from the cloud backoffice 50. The external command may be command information received by thecommunication device 10 from the outside, for example, thecommunication device 10 receives the command information from thecloud background 50 through thesatellite 20 and/or thebase station 30, and controls a communication mode between thecommunication device 10 and the outside according to the command information.

Generally, theonboard terminal 40 will exchange information with the outside through the terrestrial network communication, because the cost of the terrestrial network communication is much lower than that of the satellite communication, and because the signals communicated with the outside by thebase station 30 are omnidirectional signals, thecommunication device 10 can communicate with thebase station 30, and further theonboard terminal 40 can communicate with thebase station 30 within the coverage area of the radio signal network. Therefore, theonboard terminal 40 is a desirable embodiment to exchange information with the outside through the ground network communication. Of course, since the ground network communication is easily affected by the terrain, weather, and other factors, and is in a poor communication state, or even in a case of communication interruption, in the embodiment provided in the present application, thesecond processor 120 may control the on-board terminal 40 to switch the communication method with the outside from the ground network communication to the satellite communication when the ground network communication state is poor, and control the on-board terminal 40 to switch the communication method with the outside back to the ground network communication when the ground network communication state is good. Since thefirst processor 110 can adjust the attitude of thefirst antenna 210 in real time so that the communication state between thefirst antenna 210 and thesatellite 20 can be always kept good, thesecond processor 120 can control the communication mode of the on-board terminal 40 with the outside to be switched to the communication with thesatellite 20 through thefirst antenna 210 and/or the communication with the ground network through thethird antenna 230 in combination with the communication state data read from thememory 130 and the external instruction. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the on-board terminal 40 may also perform information interaction with the outside through both ground network communication and satellite communication.

In research, the applicant finds that, currently, a communication terminal on an aircraft generally directly adopts software to control an antenna array, and the software control is performed according to a certain sequence, that is, a time difference exists between a first small array and a last small array of the antenna array, which may result in prolonging the phase interval adjustment time, and even cause inconsistency of control phases of the small arrays, thereby causing reduction of tracking accuracy and deterioration of transceiving performance. In this embodiment, thefirst processor 110 may control the plurality of elements of the antenna array concurrently through thelogic circuit 140, so as to prevent a time difference between the plurality of elements of the antenna array during the control.
