Communication system 200 comprises wireless packet data communication system.Be connected for making MS 202 and 208 set up grouped data with access network 220, each MS and Access Network are operated according to well-known wireless telecommunications protocols.By according to well-known protocol operation, the user of MS can be guaranteed that MS can communicate by letter with Access Network 220, and sets up packet data communication link by Access Network and external network.Preferably, communication system 200 is according to general packet radio service (GPRS) standard operation, this standard code the radio telecommunications system operating protocol, comprise radio system parameters and call handling process.In the GPRS communication system, frequency bandwidth is divided into 8 time slots, and 8 time slots are formed a frame, and physical communication channels comprises one or more in these time slots.Yet, those of ordinary skills recognize, communication system 200 can be according to using time slot to transmit any operation in the plurality of communication systems of voice and/or data, global system for mobile communications (GSM) for example, time division multiple access (TDMA) communication system, perhaps Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (WCDMA) system.
With reference now to Fig. 2-5,, a kind of method has been described, the MS allocation of downlink time slot that communication system 200 is dynamically served for this communication system by this method.Fig. 3 be carry out by the Access Network of Fig. 2 according to one embodiment of present invention, the logical flow chart 300 of allocation of downlink time slot method dynamically.Fig. 4 is a block diagram according to an embodiment of the invention, and the exemplary allocations of communication resources of downlink time slots in the given frequency bandwidth is described, Fig. 5 is a block diagram according to another embodiment of the invention, and the exemplary allocations of communication resources of downlink time slots in given frequency bandwidth is described.
Logical flow chart 300 begins when initiating at Access Network 220 with by the calling between the MS (for example MS 202) of Access Network service (302) according to known technology.For example, a MS, promptly MS 202 can initiate to call out with the data (GPRS) of Access Network 220, and perhaps the paging of MS accessed network is used for data call.In response to the initiation of data call, Access Network 220 is set up Temporary Block Flow (TBF) and is sent to MS 202 to support the radio downlink RLC data block in down link 212.As the part that TBF sets up, Access Network 220 distributes the Radio Resource (304) that comprises first time slot in the given frequency bandwidth for MS in down link 212.Access Network 220 transmits (306) to MS 202 then, and MS receives the assignment messages of (308) notice institute distributed time slot from Access Network.First time slot can comprise special-purpose signaling channel, perhaps can comprise being used for transmitting the carrying service, as voice or the user data Bearer Channel to MS.
For example, as shown in Figure 4, Access Network 220 can distribute time slot 401 to give MS 202 in down link 212.By another example shown in Figure 5, Access Network 220 can distribute time slot 501 to give MS 202 in down link 212.For principle of the present invention is described, and in no case limit the present invention, Figure 4 and 5 further described in the down link 212 in a plurality of time slots and with the distribution of other time slots of time slot 401 in same frequency bandwidth of distributing to MS 202, time slot 500 and the 502-507 among time slot among Fig. 4 400 and 402-407 and Fig. 5 just, distribute to other MS of Access Network 220 services, for example MS 208.That is to say that time slot 500 among the time slot 400 among Fig. 4 and each among the 402-407 and Fig. 5 and 502-507 distribute to other MS except MS 202.
Access Network 220 passes through the corresponding first down link RLC data block then at the first period t 1Transmit data to each MS that is assigned with time slot 400-407 (perhaps about the 500-507 among Fig. 5).For example, about Fig. 4, Access Network 220 by time slot 401 and frame 1,2,3 and 4 at period t 1Transmission block 411 to MS 202, and, Access Network 220 by time slot 403 and frame 1,2,3 and 4 at period t 1Transmission block 413 is to the MS that is assigned with time slot 403.Similarly, about Fig. 5, Access Network 220 by in time slot 501 and frame 1,2,3 and 4 each at period t 1Transmission block 511 to MS 202, and by in time slot 505 and frame 1,2,3 and 4 each at period t 1Transmission block 515 is to the MS that is assigned with time slot 505.Successively, the MS demodulation of each assigned slot is included in the data in the time slot of distributing to MS.As known in the art, typically, in the GPRS communication system, need four time slots to be used for transmitting the down link RLC data block.
In first period, Access Network 220 determines that further (310) distribute to second at least one time slot of other MS (for example the 2nd MS 208) except MS 202 and can be used for redistributing.For example, as shown in Figure 4, in first period, time slot 404 and time slot 406 (time slot 504 and time slot 506 among Fig. 5) all are not fully utilized, and that is to say, time slot 404 and 406 ( time slot 504 and 506 among Fig. 5) is idle in the part-time of first period, more particularly, in first period, time slot 404 and 504 is idle in frame 4, and time slot 406 and 506 is idle in frame 3 and 4.These idle display time slots 404 and 406 ( time slot 504 and 506 among Fig. 5) can be used for redistributing.For example, time slot 404 and 406 ( time slot 504 and 506 among Fig. 5) may just send the MS of voice to their correspondences, because the sporadic characteristic of voice communication is underused the time slot of distributing to corresponding MS in the first down link RLC data block period.
Can be used for redistributing in response to definite second at least one time slot, Access Network 220 distributes (312) this second at least one time slot to give MS 202.For example, as shown in Figure 4, Access Network 220 can distribute available time slot 404 to give MS 202.By another example, as shown in Figure 5, Access Network 220 can distribute available time slot 504 and 506 to give MS 202.In response to distributing this second at least one time slot to give MS 202, Access Network 220 is sent to the down link RLC data block of MS by the next one, just, and by at the corresponding second period t 2Be sent to MS 202 second (piece 521 among Fig. 4 among piece 421 and Fig. 5), and by before distributing to the time slot of MS, promptly the time slot 501 among the time slot among Fig. 4 401 and Fig. 5 is notified (314) MS institute distributed time slot.By this way, Access Network 220 can be by the time slot of next piece notice MS 202 dynamic assignment, and this next one piece is not considered to distribute and is transmitted and is transmitted by dedicated signaling or the Bearer Channel that has distributed further.Do not consider to distribute the next piece that is transmitted by utilizing, Access Network 220 can be notified MS up-to-date distributed time slot, and the overhead that does not need the particular message of prior art and do not need to consume.In addition, when before distributing to MS202 and being used to notify distributed time slot (401/501) when being Bearer Channel, then communication network 100 provides newly assigned time slot for the in-band signalling of MS.
Preferably, Access Network 220 notifies MS 202 distributed time slot by institute's distributed time slot in the header of next piece of identification.For example, Fig. 6 is the bit layout of exemplary downlink RLC data block 600 according to an embodiment of the invention.Down link RLC data block 600 comprises that expectation is used for the pay(useful) load 610 of MS and further comprises MAC layer header 602, and wherein MAC layer header 602 comprises effective loadtype data field 604, temporary flow identity symbol (TFI) data field 606 and last piece designator (FBI) data field 608.Access Network 220 by in the pay(useful) load type data field, comprise bit mode ' 11 ', be used for which MS to 600 expectations of MS indicator collet, for example MS 202, and it is that Access Network will transmit the data block of data to MS through time slot new except that distributed time slot.Further, because when the piece that comprises time slot allocation is last piece of down link TBF, dynamically distribute time slot may be worth not quite, Access Network 220 is instruct MS in the header of next piece further, just whether MS202 can ignore in the piece all information except that uplink state flags (USF), for example, because this is last piece of down link TBF, perhaps indicate this piece whether to comprise the identifier of assigned slot, this time slot should be used to monitor additional data by MS.For example, Fig. 7 is a form 700, has listed according to an embodiment of the inventionly may be assigned to FBI data field 608 and indicate the described various values that whether comprise the pointer of the time slot that points to dynamic assignment.With reference now to Fig. 6 and 7,, by in pay(useful) load type data field 604, be provided with bit mode ' 11 ', and in FBI data field 608 value of setting ' 0 ', Access Network 200 can notify MS 202 these MS can ignore the information of all except that USF in the piece.On the other hand, by in pay(useful) load type data field 604, be provided with bit mode ' 11 ' and in FBI data field 608 value of setting ' 1 ', Access Network 220 can notify MS 202 described and comprise point to distribute the pointer of time slot, just, specifically discern institute's distributed time slot, this time slot should be used to monitor additional data by MS.
Access Network 220 is discerned the time slot of distributing to MS by comprising the value relevant with time slot in the TFI data field 606 then.Fig. 8 is a form 800, lists various TFI data field 606 bit modes, and a time slot or a plurality of time slot relevant with each bit mode, and it is used in reference to the time slot according to the one or more dynamic assignment of the embodiment of the invention.Yet those of ordinary skill in the art recognizes that the various various combinations of bit mode can be used herein to the time slot of identification dynamic assignment, and the particular combinations of bit mode used herein can not have any restriction to the present invention.Shown in form 800, when dynamically distributing time slot for MS immediately after the time slot of Access Network 200 at the current MS of distributing to (current time slots (TS) adds 1, perhaps TS+1), 5 bits of Access Network 200 TFI data fields 606 are set to ' 00001 '.Under the situation of MS 202, its current assigned slot 401, bit mode ' 00001 ' will notify this MS time slot 402 in corresponding to the period of next piece, to be assigned to this MS.If Access Network be provided with bit mode ' 00111 ', this will notify MS: time slot 400, the time slot before the just adjacent current distributed time slot 401 has been distributed to this MS in the period corresponding to next piece.All bit modes as described herein, the bit mode that comprises the time slot of discerning dynamic assignment and relevant time slot, be stored at least one memory member 206 of MS 202 and in the memory of Access Network 220, for example at least one memory member 226 and 234 one or more in.
For example, with reference now to Fig. 4, Access Network 220 can distribute time slot 404 for MS 202 at the 3rd period t of second period and then 3Use.In this case and based on form 800, Access Network 220 will comprise bit mode ' 0001I ' in second 421 TFI data field 606, and second at the second period t 2In time slot 401 in be sent to MS 202.It is three time slots after the current distributed time slot that this bit mode notice MS 202 these MS have further been distributed time slot, this time slot, just next period (i.e. the 3rd period t 3) in 404, the three periods of time slot corresponding to the transmission of next piece 431.By another example, with reference now to Fig. 5, Access Network 220 distributes two time slots, promptly time slot 504 and 506 for MS 202 at the second period t and then 2The 3rd period t 3Use during this time.In this case and based on form 800, Access Network 220 will in second 521 TFI data field 606, comprise bit mode ' 11101 ', second at the time slot 501 and the second period t 2In be transferred into MS 202 once more.This bit mode notice MS 202 these MS have been assigned with two time slots again, i.e. time slot 504 and 506 is at next period corresponding to the transmission of next piece 531, i.e. the 3rd period t 3, wherein two time slots are respectively current distributed time slot 3 time slots and 5 time slots afterwards.
Refer again to Fig. 3, after the time slot of notice MS 202 dynamic assignment, Access Network 220 is in the 3rd period, distributes to first time slot of MS and additionally and dynamically distribute to after initial time slot allocation on second at least one time slot of MS to transmit (320) data to MS when initial.For example, about Fig. 4, Access Network 220 transfers data to MS 202 by time slot 401 and down link RLC data block 431 in the 3rd period, and further transfers data to MS 202 by time slot 404 and down link RLC data block 434.By another example, about Fig. 5, Access Network 220 transfers data to MS 202 by time slot 501 and down link RLC data block 531 in the 3rd period, and by time slot 504 and 506 and down link RLC data block 534 and 536 further transfer data to MS 202.In addition, in response to receiving second (for example piece 521 among the piece among Fig. 4 421 and Fig. 5), and header according to second, MS 202 determines that (316) distribute to the time slot of MS when initial, be outside 501 among time slot 401 among Fig. 4 or Fig. 5, MS has been dynamically allocated one or more time slots, and the time slot of identification (318) dynamic assignment, i.e. time slot 504 and 506 among time slot among Fig. 4 404 or Fig. 5.Then, MS 202 is at the 3rd period t 3In, monitor each time slot that distributes when (322) are initial, i.e. time slot 501 among time slot among Fig. 4 401 or Fig. 5, and the time slot of one or more dynamic assignment, i.e. time slot 504 and 506 among time slot among Fig. 4 404 or Fig. 5.MS 202 demodulation in the 3rd period (324) is included in the data in the time slot that is monitored, and logic flow 300 finishes (326) then.
By using the down link RLC data block that is sent to MS by first downlink time slots, notify MS the distribution of second downlink time slots, wherein the down link RLC data block is transmitted under regardless of the situation of distributing, the time slot of communication system 100 notice MS dynamic assignment, and do not need message specific in the prior art and consume excessive bandwidth.In addition, when first downlink time slots comprises the Bearer Channel of distributing to MS, this system will provide up-to-date distributed time slot for the in-band signalling of MS.
