Patent ID: 8830949

Claim:
A method for implementing a baseband resource pool in an Long Term Evolution (LTE) base station, wherein the LTE base station comprises a main control module, a master board, and at least one slave board, and the master board and the slave board comprise baseband processing modules, the method comprising: configuring, by the main control module, information about a cell requiring load sharing on the master board to the slave board; configuring, by the main control module, a Random Access Channel (RACH) resource allocation policy; sending, by the master board, a signal of the cell requiring load sharing on the master board to the slave board; and performing, by the master board and the slave board, PRACH detection on the signal of the cell requiring load sharing in a time division or frequency division mode according to the RACH resource allocation policy; wherein the configuring, by the main control module, the RACH resource allocation policy comprises: configuring, by the main control module, the baseband processing modules on the master board and the slave board to perform PRACH detection alternately according to PRACH timeslots when each PRACH timeslot has only one PRACH physical channel; and configuring, by the main control module, the baseband processing modules on the master board and the slave board to simultaneously and respectively perform PRACH detection on different PRACH physical channels when each PRACH timeslot has more than one PRACH physical channel.
