Abstract: The present disclosure provides a communication method and apparatus, to improve link recovery efficiency. The method includes: obtaining first information from a baseband unit BBU, where the first information indicates N1 antenna line devices, the antenna line device is configured to control an antenna, and N1 is a positive integer; and maintaining a connection between a radio frequency device and a first antenna line device, where the first antenna line device is included in the N1 antenna line devices.

Abstract: A filter inductor for high-current applications. The filter inductor includes a magnetic core and a winding. The winding includes a shaped section having opposing ends, a pair of arm sections laterally extending from the opposing ends of the shaped section, respectively, and a pair of inductor pins, each extending perpendicular from an end of a respective arm section. The magnetic core includes a first core portion and a second core portion. The first core portion includes a recessed channel configured to receive the shaped section of the winding. The second core portion includes a pair of recessed regions configured to receive the pair of arm sections of the winding, respectively. The first core portion and the second core portion are coupled in contact to one another to secure the shaped section of the winding within the magnetic core. The filter inductor can be edge-mounted to a printed circuit board.
