Abstract: The present disclosure provides example line order detection methods and multi-antenna network devices. One example method includes obtaining preset antenna numbers of a target antenna group. A first uplink received signal strength sequence of each antenna channel is determined based on a first uplink reference signal sequence from a terminal. After an antenna downtilt angle of the target antenna group is adjusted from a first downtilt angle to a second downtilt angle, a second uplink received signal strength sequence of each antenna channel is determined based on a second uplink reference signal sequence from the terminal. Actual antenna numbers of the target antenna group are determined based on the first uplink received signal strength sequence and the second uplink received signal strength sequence of each antenna channel. When the preset antenna numbers are different than the actual antenna numbers, a line order is determined to be incorrect.

Abstract: A primary domain controller maintains synchronization of directory information (e.g., Active Directory information) between local directory controllers in a local domain and cloud directory controllers in a cloud domain. The primary domain controller subscribes to directory event reports for selected directory events occurring at the local directory controllers, such as addition, deletion or modification of user accounts. Upon receiving the directory event reports, the primary domain controller creates corresponding directory event records in an event log, and regularly forwards contents of the directory event records of the event log to the cloud directory controllers for use in updating system directory information in the cloud domain.
