Abstract

The embodiments of the present application disclose an antenna array control apparatus, method, and system. The apparatus includes a link establishing unit, multiple modems, and multiple AISG interfaces, and the AISG interfaces are configured to receive an antenna array configuration signal; the multiple modems are connected to the link establishing unit, and the modems are configured to decode the antenna array configuration signal to obtain an antenna array configuration instruction; and the link establishing unit is connected to multiple electric motors and configured to establish a communications link between each electric motor and one modem according to the antenna array configuration instruction. The multiple AISG interfaces are used in the apparatus as control ports, and a communications link between an antenna array and the multiple AISG interfaces can be connected in multiple manners, so that multiple antenna arrays are more flexibly controlled.
