Abstract: A discover method includes a collection phase and a subsequent discovery phase. The collection phase includes receiving an NBIRTH message for each node and receiving a DBIRTH message for each device. A group ID and a corresponding node ID are extracted and cached from each NBIRTH message and a group ID, a node ID and a device ID are extracted from each DBIRTH message. The discovery phase includes publishing a REBIRTH message for each node having a cached group ID and node ID. The REBIRTH message causes the corresponding node to publish an NBIRTH message for the corresponding node, as well as a DBIRTH message for each associated device. Nodes may be discovered based on the NBIRTH messages published during the discovery phase and devices may be discovered based on the DBIRTH messages published during the discovery phase.

Abstract: A mounting device for a base station antenna includes a support member having: a first section, the first section being configured to, in a mounted state of a base station antenna and a holding pole, connect with an inner side of the base station antenna facing the holding pole in an end section of the base station antenna; a second section, the second section being configured to, in the mounted state of the base station antenna and the holding pole, extend from the first section in a direction away from the holding pole and extend beyond an end side of the end section in a longitudinal direction of the base station antenna; and a connecting portion that is connected with the second section and configured to be directly or indirectly connected to the holding pole in the mounted state of the base station antenna and the holding pole.

Abstract: The present application relates to a base station antenna, where the base station antenna includes a radome and a reflector assembly housed within the radome having an open upper end portion that is closed by an upper end cap, the base station antenna further has a ventilation system that includes a flow channel disposed in the upper end cap or disposed between the upper end cap and the upper end portion of the radome, and the flow channel is configured for venting from the inside of the radome through the flow channel to an external environment. The base station antenna can achieve improved heat dissipation performance.

Abstract: The present application relates to a cellular base station antenna, including: a radome having a lateral recess that defines a first accommodating space with a lateral opening and for accommodating a pole, where the cellular base station antenna should be mounted to the pole; and an antenna assembly mounted within a second accommodating space defined by the radome, the antenna assembly including a reflecting plate and a radiating element mounted on the reflecting plate. Moreover, the present application relates to a pole assembly, including a pole and a cellular base station antenna capable of being mounted laterally to the pole.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mounting assembly and the method of use thereof. The mounting assembly is configured to mount a plurality of objects on a single pole at a predetermined included angle and includes: a clamping mechanism, which fixes the mounting assembly on the pole by clamping the pole; an angle control mechanism, which has a polygonal configuration and controls the included angle between the plurality of objects through its polygonal configuration; and a mounting mechanism, which respectively mounts the plurality of objects by mounting each object among the plurality of objects in a manner where it corresponds to one edge among the plurality of edges of the angle control mechanism, thereby mounting the plurality of objects on the pole at a predetermined included angle.
