Description

本発明は、無線基地局装置及び位置登録抑止制御方法に関する。無線基地局装置の1例として、フェムトセルを構成する無線基地局装置(フェムト無線基地局装置)が含まれる。   The present invention relates to a radio base station apparatus and a location registration suppression control method. As an example of the radio base station apparatus, a radio base station apparatus (femto radio base station apparatus) constituting a femto cell is included.

移動通信システムにおける無線基地局装置は、携帯電話サービス提供事業社による公衆接続サービスの提供のために設置され、半径数百m〜十数Kmの通話エリア(マクロセル)をカバーし、大型かつ高価な装置である。一方、近年、半径数十m程度の狭い通信エリア(フェムトセル)をカバーし、無線基地局装置と同等の機能を具備する小型(コードレス電話の親機相当)で安価(個人で購入可能なレベル)なフェムト無線基地局が出現しつつある。   A radio base station apparatus in a mobile communication system is installed to provide a public connection service by a mobile phone service provider, covers a call area (macrocell) with a radius of several hundred m to several tens Km, and is large and expensive. Device. On the other hand, in recent years, it is a small (corresponding to the base unit of a cordless phone) that covers a narrow communication area (femtocell) with a radius of about several tens of meters (femtocell) and has the same functions as a radio base station device, and is inexpensive (level that can be purchased individually ) Femto radio base stations are emerging.

フェムト無線基地局は、一般に電波の不感地帯をカバーするために設置されるほか、ユーザの私的利用(個人利用)や業務利用(企業利用)のためにも設置され、一般ユーザに対する公衆接続を許容する。将来、フェムト無線基地局設置の自由化に伴い、設置台数の増加や設置環境によって、フェムト無線基地局設置を介在する移動局の位置登録要求数が増大することが予測される。   Femto radio base stations are generally installed to cover the dead zone of radio waves, and are also installed for private use (individual use) and business use (corporate use) of users. Allow. In the future, along with the liberalization of installation of femto radio base stations, it is predicted that the number of location registration requests for mobile stations interposing the installation of femto radio base stations will increase due to the increase in the number of installations and installation environment.

図8に移動通信システムの構成の概要を示す。移動通信システムは、移動局8−7の加入契約情報を管理するホームレジスタ8−1、移動局8−7の加入契約情報及び位置登録情報を元に交換サービスを提供する移動交換局8−2、無線基地局8−4及びフェムト無線基地局8−6を制御する無線基地局制御局8−3、無線ゾーンを構築し、移動局8−7との無線による通信の制御を行う無線基地局8−4及びフェムト無線基地局8−6によって構成され、移動局8−7に無線での通信サービスを提供する。無線基地局8−4はマクロセル8−8の無線ゾーンをカバーし、フェムト無線基地局8−6はフェムトセル8−9の無線ゾーンをカバーする。   FIG. 8 shows an outline of the configuration of the mobile communication system. The mobile communication system includes a home register 8-1 that manages subscription contract information of the mobile station 8-7, a mobile switching center 8-2 that provides switching services based on the subscription contract information and location registration information of the mobile station 8-7. , A radio base station control station 8-3 that controls the radio base station 8-4 and the femto radio base station 8-6, a radio base station that establishes a radio zone and controls communication with the mobile station 8-7 by radio 8-4 and a femto radio base station 8-6, which provides a radio communication service to the mobile station 8-7. The radio base station 8-4 covers the radio zone of the macro cell 8-8, and the femto radio base station 8-6 covers the radio zone of the femto cell 8-9.

なお、フェムト無線基地局8−6と無線基地局制御局8−3とは、例えば公衆IP(Internet Protocol)網8−5等のネットワークによって接続される。このネットワーク8−5は、例えばADSL(Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line : 非対称デジタル加入者線)や光ファイバ等のブロードバンド回線によるインターネットアクセスサービスを提供するインターネットサービスプロバイダのネットワーク等である。   The femto radio base station 8-6 and the radio base station control station 8-3 are connected by a network such as a public IP (Internet Protocol) network 8-5. The network 8-5 is, for example, a network of an Internet service provider that provides an Internet access service using a broadband line such as an ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) or an optical fiber.

移動局8−7に着信する際、複数の無線ゾーンの中から移動局8−7が在圏する無線ゾーンをカバーする無線基地局から呼出を行う必要があるため、移動局8−7は移動通信システムにおいて自身が在圏する無線ゾーンの位置情報を通知する位置登録を実施する必要がある。   When receiving a call to the mobile station 8-7, it is necessary to make a call from a radio base station that covers a radio zone in which the mobile station 8-7 is located, from among a plurality of radio zones. In the communication system, it is necessary to perform location registration for notifying the location information of the wireless zone in which it is located.

図9は移動通信システムにおける位置登録の処理シーケンスを示す。位置登録は、移動局8−7から移動局識別番号及び位置情報を含む位置登録要求情報を無線基地局8−4に送出し(9−1)、無線基地局8−4は該位置登録要求情報を無線基地局制御局8−3に送出し(9−2)、無線基地局制御局8−3は該位置登録要求情報を移動交換局8−2に送出し(9−3)、移動交換局8−2は該位置登録要求情報を元に位置登録更新処理をホームレジスタ8−1に対して実施する(9−4)。   FIG. 9 shows a location registration processing sequence in the mobile communication system. In the location registration, the mobile station 8-7 sends location registration request information including the mobile station identification number and location information to the radio base station 8-4 (9-1), and the radio base station 8-4 sends the location registration request. Information is sent to the radio base station control station 8-3 (9-2), and the radio base station control station 8-3 sends the location registration request information to the mobile switching center 8-2 (9-3). The exchange 8-2 performs a location registration update process on the home register 8-1 based on the location registration request information (9-4).

ホームレジスタ8−1に対する位置登録更新処理が完了すると、移動交換局8−2は位置登録成功の通知を無線基地局制御局8−3に送出し(9−5)、無線基地局制御局8−3は該通知を受けると無線基地局8−4に位置登録成功の通知を送出し(9−6)、無線基地局8−4は該通知を受けると移動局8−7に位置登録成功の通知を送出する(9−7)。   When the location registration update process for the home register 8-1 is completed, the mobile switching center 8-2 sends a notification of successful location registration to the radio base station control station 8-3 (9-5), and the radio base station control station 8 -3 sends a notification of location registration success to the radio base station 8-4 when receiving the notification (9-6), and the radio base station 8-4 receives the notification and succeeds in location registration to the mobile station 8-7. Is sent (9-7).

The location registration process in the mobile communication system is known, for example, from the following patent document.
JP-A-9-18934 JP 2000-78249 A JP-A-11-196252 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-172626

商店街や繁華街等の人通りの多い通信エリアをカバーするフェムト無線基地局では、その通信エリアを移動局が通過する度に該移動局からの位置登録要求が発生し、フェムト無線基地局と接続されたネットワークに流出する位置登録のための制御信号のトラヒックが頻発し、該ネットワークへの処理負荷を増大させる可能性がある。この処理負荷は人通りの多さに比例する。   In a femto radio base station that covers a busy communication area such as a shopping street or a downtown area, every time a mobile station passes through the communication area, a location registration request is generated from the mobile station, and the femto radio base station There is a possibility that traffic of a control signal for location registration that flows out to a connected network will frequently occur, increasing the processing load on the network. This processing load is proportional to the amount of traffic.

図10に示すように移動局がマクロセル内のフェムトセルを通過した場合の位置登録について説明する。この位置登録の処理シーケンスを図11に示す。まず、移動局8−7がマクロセル8−8に在圏した時点で、図11のシーケンス11−1〜11−7による位置登録が実施される。このシーケンス11−1〜11−7による位置登録は、図9で説明した位置登録の処理シーケンスと同様である。   Location registration when a mobile station passes through a femto cell in a macro cell as shown in FIG. 10 will be described. The location registration processing sequence is shown in FIG. First, when the mobile station 8-7 is located in the macro cell 8-8, location registration according to the sequences 11-1 to 11-7 in FIG. 11 is performed. The location registration by the sequences 11-1 to 11-7 is the same as the location registration processing sequence described with reference to FIG.

移動局8−7がマクロセル8−8からフェムトセル8−9へ移動すると、該フェムトセル8−9をカバーするフェムト無線基地局8−6を介して、図11のシーケンス11−8〜11−14による位置登録が実施される。このシーケンス11−8〜11−14による位置登録は、図9で説明した位置登録の処理シーケンスがフェムト無線基地局を介して行われる点を除いて、図9の処理シーケンスと同様である。   When the mobile station 8-7 moves from the macro cell 8-8 to the femto cell 8-9, the sequence 11-8 to 11- in FIG. 11 is performed via the femto radio base station 8-6 that covers the femto cell 8-9. 14 is registered. The location registration by the sequences 11-8 to 11-14 is the same as the processing sequence of FIG. 9 except that the location registration processing sequence described in FIG. 9 is performed through the femto radio base station.

そして、一度フェムトセル8−9に在圏した移動局8−7が、該フェムトセル8−9から元のマクロセル8−8へ移動したとき、再度、該マクロセル8−8をカバーする無線基地局8−4を介して、図11のシーケンス11−15〜11−21による位置登録が実施される。このシーケンス11−15〜11−21による位置登録は、図9で説明した位置登録の処理シーケンスと同様である。   Then, when the mobile station 8-7 located in the femtocell 8-9 once moves from the femtocell 8-9 to the original macrocell 8-8, the radio base station that covers the macrocell 8-8 again. The location registration according to the sequences 11-15 to 11-21 in FIG. 11 is performed via 8-4. The location registration by the sequences 11-15 to 11-21 is the same as the location registration processing sequence described in FIG.

実際にフェムトセル内で通信を行うユーザの移動局のための位置登録は必須の処理であるが、ユーザがフェムトセルで通信をすることなく単にフェムトセルを通過するだけで発生するフェムトセルでの位置登録、及び通過後のマクロセルでの位置登録は無駄である。この無駄な位置登録は、ネットワークへの無効な制御信号を流出させる。その量は人通りの多い場所に設置されたフェムトセルでは膨大なものとなる。   Location registration for a user's mobile station that actually communicates within the femtocell is an indispensable process, but the femtocell that occurs only when the user passes through the femtocell without communicating with the femtocell. Location registration and location registration in the macro cell after passing are useless. This useless location registration causes an invalid control signal to flow out to the network. That amount is enormous for femtocells installed in busy locations.

本発明は、セル(フェムトセル)を通過するためにセル(フェムトセル)に一時的に在圏したに過ぎないユーザの移動局から発生する位置登録要求に対する位置登録の実施を抑制する。   The present invention suppresses the execution of location registration in response to a location registration request generated from a user's mobile station that is only temporarily in the cell (femtocell) to pass through the cell (femtocell).

開示の無線基地局装置は、各移動局による位置登録要求のリトライ回数を移動局毎に記憶する記憶手段と、前記記憶手段に記憶された位置登録要求のリトライ回数が予め定めた閾値を越えた移動局からの位置登録要求については、位置登録の処理を実施し、前記記憶手段に記憶された位置登録要求のリトライ回数が予め定めた閾値以下の移動局からの位置登録要求については、位置登録処理を実行しない制御手段と、を備えたものである。
また、開示の位置登録抑止制御方法は、各移動局による位置登録要求のリトライ回数を移動局毎にメモリに記憶する第1のステップと、前記第1のステップにより記憶された位置登録要求のリトライ回数が予め定めた閾値を越えた移動局からの位置登録要求については、位置登録の処理を実施し、前記第1のステップにより記憶された位置登録要求のリトライ回数が予め定めた閾値以下の移動局からの位置登録要求については、位置登録を実行しない第2のステップと、を含むものである。
The disclosed radio base station apparatus stores, for each mobile station, the number of retries of location registration request by each mobile station, and the number of retries of the location registration request stored in the storage unit exceeds a predetermined threshold. For location registration requests from mobile stations, location registration processing is performed, and for location registration requests from mobile stations where the number of retries of location registration requests stored in the storage means is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, location registration is performed. And a control means that does not execute processing.
Also, the disclosed location registration suppression control method includes a first step of storing the number of retries of a location registration request by each mobile station in a memory for each mobile station, and a retry of the location registration request stored by the first step. For a location registration request from a mobile station whose number of times has exceeded a predetermined threshold, a location registration process is performed, and the number of retries of the location registration request stored in the first step is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold. The location registration request from the station includes a second step in which location registration is not executed.

セルに長く在圏し通信サービスを必要とするユーザの移動局に対して位置登録を実施するように制限することができるので、位置登録の実施を抑制することができる。更には、上位ネットワークへ送出する制御信号量を低減することも可能となる。   Since it can restrict | limit so that location registration may be implemented with respect to the mobile station of the user who has been in the cell for a long time and needs a communication service, implementation of location registration can be suppressed. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the amount of control signal transmitted to the upper network.

セルの1例としてフェムトセルを例に挙げて説明する。フェムトセル以外にも、ピコセルその他のセルについての適用を妨げるものではない。まず、以下の実施例において登場する各種情報について簡単に説明する。   A femtocell will be described as an example of the cell. In addition to femtocells, this does not preclude application for picocells and other cells. First, various information appearing in the following embodiments will be briefly described.

移動局固有の識別情報の例として移動局識別番号をここでは用いる。移動局識別番号に基づいて位置登録要求を発した移動局を区別して、移動局毎に位置登録履歴情報、位置登録リトライ制御情報を生成し、記憶する。   A mobile station identification number is used here as an example of identification information unique to the mobile station. Based on the mobile station identification number, the mobile station that issued the location registration request is distinguished, and location registration history information and location registration retry control information are generated and stored for each mobile station.

位置登録履歴情報は、フェムト無線基地局に記憶保持されるデータで、位置登録要求が発せられた移動局に対して、過去に位置登録を実施した実績が存在するか否かの判定に用いられる。この位置登録履歴情報として、履歴情報を保持する期間を示す「保持期間(例えば日数)」、位置登録履歴のリストに登録されている移動局の登録数を示す「リスト登録数」、過去に位置登録を実施した移動局を識別するための「移動局識別番号」及びその位置登録が成功した「時刻(タイムスタンプ)」をメモリに記憶する。   The location registration history information is data stored and held in the femto radio base station, and is used to determine whether or not there is a past record of location registration for a mobile station from which a location registration request has been issued. . As this location registration history information, a “holding period (for example, number of days)” indicating a period for holding history information, a “list registration count” indicating the number of mobile stations registered in the location registration history list, and a location in the past The “mobile station identification number” for identifying the mobile station that has performed registration and the “time (time stamp)” at which the location registration was successful are stored in the memory.

位置登録履歴情報のリストの構成例を図1の(a)に示している。なお、保持期間及び特定の移動局識別番号(例えば、当該フェムト無線基地局の所有者の移動局識別番号等)は、ヒューマン・マシン・インタフェースにより、位置登録履歴情報として事前に又は随時登録可能な構成とすることができる。また、特定の移動局識別番号(例えば、当該フェムト無線基地局の所有者の移動局識別番号等)のタイムスタンプを特定の値に設定することにより、該特定の移動局識別番号を位置登録履歴情報として無期限に登録する構成とすることができる。   A configuration example of the list of location registration history information is shown in FIG. The retention period and a specific mobile station identification number (for example, the mobile station identification number of the femto radio base station owner) can be registered in advance or at any time as location registration history information by the human machine interface. It can be configured. In addition, by setting the time stamp of a specific mobile station identification number (for example, the mobile station identification number of the owner of the femto radio base station) to a specific value, the specific mobile station identification number is stored in the location registration history. The information can be registered indefinitely as information.

位置登録リトライ制御情報は、フェムト無線基地局に記憶保持されるデータであり、各移動局の位置登録要求のトライ数の監視、位置登録要求のリトライ送信間隔の指示の制御に用いられる。位置登録リトライ制御情報として、単位時間(例えば1秒)当たりの位置登録要求の受付数を示す「トラヒック情報」、移動局に指示する位置登録要求リトライ送信の時間間隔を示す「リトライ送信間隔」、位置登録要求を受理し位置登録の実施を許可するトライ回数の閾値を示す「トライ数閾値」、位置登録要求のリトライ中の移動局の登録数を示す「リスト登録数」、位置登録要求を行った移動局を識別する識別番号を示す「移動局識別番号」、及び移動局毎の位置登録要求のトライ回数を示す「トライ数」をメモリに記憶する。   The location registration retry control information is data stored and held in the femto radio base station, and is used for monitoring the number of location registration request tries of each mobile station and controlling the indication of the retry transmission interval of the location registration request. As the location registration retry control information, “traffic information” indicating the number of location registration requests received per unit time (for example, 1 second), “retry transmission interval” indicating the time interval of location registration request retry transmission instructed to the mobile station, "Trial threshold" indicating the threshold of the number of tries to accept the location registration request and permit location registration, "List registration number" indicating the number of mobile stations registered during the retry of the location registration request, and making a location registration request The “mobile station identification number” indicating the identification number for identifying the mobile station and the “trial number” indicating the number of times of the location registration request for each mobile station are stored in the memory.

位置登録リトライ制御情報のリストの構成例を図1の(b)に示す。なお、ここで、「トライ」とは、初回の位置登録要求を含めて繰り返し行われる位置登録要求を意味し、「リトライ」とは、二回目以降の繰り返し行われる位置登録要求を意味するが、以下の実施形態において、「トライ」の意を「リトライ」の意とを同様に扱っても本質的な差異は無い。   A configuration example of the list of location registration retry control information is shown in FIG. Here, “try” means a position registration request that is repeatedly performed including the first position registration request, and “retry” means a position registration request that is repeatedly performed for the second time or later. In the following embodiments, there is no essential difference even if the meaning of “try” is treated in the same way as the meaning of “retry”.

「リトライ送信間隔」及び「トライ数閾値」は、ヒューマン・マシン・インタフェースにより、フェムト無線基地局の位置登録リトライ制御情報として、事前に又は随時登録可能な構成とすることができる。該ヒューマン・マシン・インタフェースとしては、フェムト無線基地局装置自体に設けられた入力キー、フェムト無線基地局装置に接続したコンピュータ、フェムト無線基地局装置用のリモコン又は移動局の携帯端末等の操作により、直接データを入力して書き込み、或いはエアー(無線)インタフェースを介し、更にはネットワークを介して専用ウェブサイトから入力データをダウンロードする等の手段により、データの登録/解除を行う構成とすることができる。   The “retry transmission interval” and the “threshold number threshold” can be configured to be registered in advance or at any time as location registration retry control information of the femto radio base station by a human-machine interface. As the human machine interface, an input key provided on the femto radio base station device itself, a computer connected to the femto radio base station device, a remote control for the femto radio base station device, or a mobile terminal of a mobile station, etc. It may be configured to register / cancel data by inputting data directly, writing it, or downloading the input data from a dedicated website via an air (wireless) interface or via a network. it can.

以下にフェムト無線基地局での位置登録の実施の抑止制御について説明する。
(第1の手法)
フェムト無線基地局は、位置登録リトライ制御情報を参照し、各移動局からの位置登録要求に対して移動局毎の位置登録要求のトライ数をカウントし、位置登録要求を一定回数以上の繰り返している移動局に対して位置登録要求を受理し位置登録の実施を許可する。位置登録要求のトライ数が一定回数未満の移動局からの位置登録要求に対しては、該位置登録要求の信号を破棄し、ネットワークへ位置登録の制御信号を送出しない。
Described below is the control for inhibiting the execution of location registration at the femto radio base station.
(First method)
The femto radio base station refers to the location registration retry control information, counts the number of location registration requests for each mobile station in response to the location registration request from each mobile station, and repeats the location registration request a predetermined number of times or more. The location registration request is accepted from the mobile station and the location registration is permitted. In response to a location registration request from a mobile station in which the number of location registration request trials is less than a certain number of times, the location registration request signal is discarded and no location registration control signal is sent to the network.

(第2の手法)
フェムト無線基地局は、報知情報により位置登録用のリトライ送信間隔を移動局へ指示する。このリトライ送信間隔は、フェムト無線基地局への処理負荷の影響を軽減するために、単位時間当たりの位置登録要求数(トラヒック量)が多いほどリトライ送信間隔を長くし、単位時間当たりの位置登録要求数(トラヒック量)が少ないほどリトライ送信間隔を短くするよう可変とする。
(Second method)
The femto radio base station instructs the mobile station on the retry transmission interval for location registration using the broadcast information. In order to reduce the impact of processing load on the femto radio base station, this retry transmission interval increases the retry transmission interval as the number of location registration requests (traffic amount) per unit time increases, and location registration per unit time As the number of requests (traffic amount) is smaller, the retry transmission interval is made shorter.

上記第2の手法は、フェムト無線基地局に対して位置登録要求数(トラヒック量)が増大しても、上位装置に対する信号送信トラヒックの増大を抑えるために講じたものである。但し、リトライ送信間隔を制御する機能を有さない移動局に対しては、前述の位置登録要求を一定回数以上の繰り返した場合に位置登録を実施する第1の手法により、上位装置に対する信号送信トラヒックの増大を抑えることができる。   The second method is taken in order to suppress an increase in signal transmission traffic to a higher-level device even if the number of location registration requests (traffic amount) increases with respect to the femto radio base station. However, for mobile stations that do not have a function to control the retry transmission interval, signal transmission to the host device is performed by the first method for performing location registration when the above-described location registration request is repeated a predetermined number of times or more. An increase in traffic can be suppressed.

(第3の手法)
フェムト無線基地局では、過去に位置登録を実施した実績の有る移動局に対して、一回目の位置登録要求のトライで位置登録を実施する。過去に位置登録の実績の有る移動局かどうかの判断は、位置登録履歴情報を参照し、一定期間(例えば1週間)以内に位置登録を実施した記録が存在するかどうかで行う。
(Third method)
In the femto radio base station, the location registration is performed by the first location registration request try for a mobile station having a history of location registration in the past. Whether a mobile station has a history of location registration in the past is determined by referring to location registration history information and whether there is a record of location registration within a certain period (for example, one week).

この第3の手法の位置登録の実施の実績に関する位置登録履歴情報の維持管理は、位置登録が成功した時刻(タイムスタンプ)と保持期間の情報とを用い、位置登録が成功した時刻(タイムスタンプ)の値に保持期間の値を加えた値が、現在時刻の値を越えているか否かを定期的(周期)に調べ、越えている場合には該移動局識別番号をリストから削除する。   The maintenance of location registration history information related to the performance of location registration in the third method uses the time (time stamp) at which location registration was successful and the information on the retention period, and the time at which location registration was successful (time stamp). It is periodically checked whether the value obtained by adding the retention period value to the current time value exceeds the current time value, and if it exceeds, the mobile station identification number is deleted from the list.

次にトラヒック量とリトライ送信間隔との関係について説明する。単位時間当たりの位置登録要求数(トラヒック量)が多い場合、位置登録要求に対して通常時のまま位置登録を実施すると、ネットワーク(上位装置)へ流出する信号量は多くなる。従って、移動局から発せられる位置登録要求のリトライ送信間隔を長くするよう指示することにより、単位時間当たりの位置登録の実施が抑止され、ネットワーク(上位装置)へ流出する信号量を軽減することができる。   Next, the relationship between the traffic volume and the retry transmission interval will be described. When the number of location registration requests (traffic amount) per unit time is large, if the location registration is performed in the normal time in response to the location registration request, the amount of signal flowing out to the network (higher level device) increases. Accordingly, by instructing to increase the retry transmission interval of the location registration request issued from the mobile station, the implementation of location registration per unit time is suppressed, and the amount of signal flowing out to the network (higher level device) can be reduced. it can.

また、単位時間当たりの位置登録要求数(トラヒック量)が少ない場合、短時間の周期で発生する位置登録要求のリトライに対してそのまま位置登録を実施しても、ネットワーク(上位装置)へ流出する信号量は少ない。従って、移動局から発せられる位置登録要求のリトライ送信間隔を短くするよう指示し、位置登録を速やかに実施することにより、ユーザの利便性を向上させることができる。   Also, if the number of location registration requests per unit time (traffic volume) is small, even if location registration is performed as it is for a location registration request retry that occurs in a short period of time, it will flow out to the network (higher level device). The amount of signal is small. Therefore, it is possible to improve the convenience for the user by instructing to shorten the retry transmission interval of the location registration request issued from the mobile station and promptly performing the location registration.

次にリトライ送信間隔について説明する。
(フェムト無線基地局での制御)
リトライ送信間隔の情報は、フェムト無線基地局が運用開始可能な状態になったとき、移動局への報知情報に含めて通知する。また、移動局からのトラヒック量は定期的(周期)に測定して更新し、リトライ送信間隔は、このトラヒック量を基に定期的(周期)に決定して更新し、変更があった場合は、リトライ送信間隔の報知情報を更新して移動局へ送信する。
Next, the retry transmission interval will be described.
(Control by femto radio base station)
Retry transmission interval information is included in notification information to the mobile station when the femto radio base station is ready to start operation. In addition, the amount of traffic from the mobile station is measured and updated periodically (cycle), and the retry transmission interval is determined and updated periodically (cycle) based on this traffic volume. Then, the broadcast information of the retry transmission interval is updated and transmitted to the mobile station.

(移動局での制御)
フェムト無線基地局からリトライ送信間隔の報知情報を受信した移動局は、位置登録要求のリトライを行う際、報知されたリトライ送信間隔の時間の経過を待って次の位置登録要求のリトライを実施する。
(Control by mobile station)
When the mobile station that has received the retry transmission interval broadcast information from the femto radio base station performs the location registration request retry, the mobile station waits for the elapsed retry transmission interval to retry the next location registration request. .

(移動局への報知情報の信号フォーマット)
フェムト無線基地局から移動局に報知する報知情報として、従来の報知パラメータのほかに、リトライ送信間隔のパラメータを追加することになる。リトライ送信間隔のパラメータを追加した報知情報の信号フォーマットの例を図1の(c)に示す。
(Signal format of broadcast information to mobile stations)
As broadcast information to be broadcast from the femto radio base station to the mobile station, a retry transmission interval parameter is added in addition to the conventional broadcast parameters. FIG. 1C shows an example of the signal format of broadcast information to which a retry transmission interval parameter is added.

次に位置登録の実施の抑止の制御フローについて説明する。フェムト無線基地局での位置登録抑止制御を実現するための信号処理系の制御フローを図2に示す。また、フェムト無線基地局での位置登録抑止制御を実現するための周期処理系の制御フローを図3に示す。   Next, a control flow for suppressing the execution of location registration will be described. FIG. 2 shows a control flow of the signal processing system for realizing location registration suppression control at the femto radio base station. FIG. 3 shows a control flow of the periodic processing system for realizing location registration suppression control at the femto radio base station.

位置登録抑止制御を実現するための信号処理系の制御フローは、図2に示すようにフェムト無線基地局において信号を受信すると(2−1)、該信号の種類を判定し(2−2)、該信号が位置登録要求の信号である場合、該位置登録要求を発した移動局について、位置登録履歴情報に過去に位置登録を行った履歴が有るか否かを判定する(2−3)。   As shown in FIG. 2, the control flow of the signal processing system for realizing the location registration inhibition control receives a signal at the femto radio base station (2-1), and determines the type of the signal (2-2). If the signal is a location registration request signal, it is determined whether or not there is a history of location registration in the location registration history information for the mobile station that issued the location registration request (2-3). .

過去に位置登録を行った履歴が有る場合、直ちに位置登録を実施する(2−7)。過去に位置登録を行った履歴が無い場合、該位置登録要求を発した移動局について、位置登録リトライ制御情報のトライ数に1を加算する。なお、位置登録リトライ制御情報に登録が無い移動局からの位置登録要求で有る場合は、該移動局をトライ数1として位置登録リトライ制御情報に登録する(2−4)。   If there is a history of location registration in the past, location registration is performed immediately (2-7). If there is no history of location registration in the past, 1 is added to the number of tries in the location registration retry control information for the mobile station that issued the location registration request. If there is a location registration request from a mobile station that is not registered in the location registration retry control information, the mobile station is registered in the location registration retry control information as the number of tries 1 (2-4).

次に位置登録リトライ制御情報のトライ数がトライ数閾値に達したか否かを判定する(2−5)。トライ数がトライ数閾値に達した場合は、位置登録を実施する(2−7)。トライ数がトライ数閾値に達していない場合は、今回発せられた位置登録要求の信号を破棄する(2−6)。   Next, it is determined whether or not the number of tries in the position registration retry control information has reached the threshold for the number of tries (2-5). When the number of trials reaches the threshold for the number of trials, location registration is performed (2-7). If the number of trials has not reached the threshold for the number of trials, the location registration request signal issued this time is discarded (2-6).

また、受信した信号の種類が位置登録成功の信号である場合、フェムト無線基地局は既存の処理を実施し(2−8)、位置登録履歴情報として今回の位置登録の実施の実績を登録する(2−9)。そして、位置登録リトライ制御情報から当該移動局のトライ数のエントリ情報を削除する(2−10)。なお、図2において、破線で囲んだフローは、この位置登録抑止の制御のために新規に追加した制御フローである。   If the received signal type is a location registration success signal, the femto radio base station performs existing processing (2-8), and registers the performance of the current location registration as location registration history information. (2-9). Then, the entry information of the number of tries of the mobile station is deleted from the location registration retry control information (2-10). In FIG. 2, a flow surrounded by a broken line is a control flow newly added for controlling the location registration suppression.

位置登録抑止制御を実現するための周期処理系の制御フローは、図3に示すようにフェムト無線基地局において周期的にイベントが起動され、イベント発生信号を受信すると(3−1)、イベントの種類を判定し(3−2)、該イベントが第1の周期イベントである場合、単位時間(例えば1秒)当たりの位置登録要求のトラヒック量を測定して更新する(3−3)。   As shown in FIG. 3, the control flow of the periodic processing system for realizing the location registration suppression control is such that when an event is periodically started in the femto radio base station and an event occurrence signal is received (3-1), The type is determined (3-2), and when the event is the first periodic event, the traffic amount of the location registration request per unit time (for example, 1 second) is measured and updated (3-3).

前記イベントが第2の周期イベントである場合、トラヒック量の情報より位置登録リトライ制御情報のリトライ送信間隔を更新する(3−4)。そしてリトライ送信間隔に変更が有ったかどうかを判定し(3−5)、リトライ送信間隔に変更が有った場合に、報知情報のリトライ送信間隔のパラメータの変更を要求する(3−6)。   When the event is the second periodic event, the retry transmission interval of the location registration retry control information is updated from the traffic amount information (3-4). Then, it is determined whether or not there is a change in the retry transmission interval (3-5), and when there is a change in the retry transmission interval, a change in the parameter of the retry transmission interval of the broadcast information is requested (3-6). .

このリトライ送信間隔の制御において、上記トラヒック量を1又は複数の閾値と比較し、該トラヒック量が多いほどリトライ送信間隔を長くし、該トラヒック量が少ないほどリトライ送信間隔を短くするよう制御する。   In this retry transmission interval control, the amount of traffic is compared with one or a plurality of threshold values, and the retry transmission interval is lengthened as the traffic amount increases, and the retry transmission interval is shortened as the traffic amount decreases.

前記イベントが第3の周期イベントである場合、トラヒック情報より位置登録リトライ制御情報のトライ数閾値を更新する(3−7)。このトライ数閾値の制御において、上記トラヒック量を1又は複数の閾値と比較し、該トラヒック量が多いほどトライ数閾値を大きくし、該トラヒック量が少ないほどトライ数閾値を小さくするよう制御する。   If the event is a third periodic event, the threshold for the number of tries in the location registration retry control information is updated from the traffic information (3-7). In the control of the threshold for the number of trials, the traffic amount is compared with one or a plurality of thresholds, and the threshold for the number of trials is increased as the amount of traffic increases, and the threshold for the number of tries is decreased as the amount of traffic decreases.

前記イベントが第4の周期イベントである場合、位置登録履歴情報の保持期間を基に、該保持期間を経過した位置登録履歴のエントリ情報を、位置登録履歴情報から削除する(3−8)。これらの周期処理系の制御フローにおいて、各周期処理の制御フローはそれぞれ独立した周期で実行することができるため、各周期処理系の周期イベントを異なるものとすることができる。   If the event is a fourth periodic event, the entry information of the location registration history that has passed the holding period is deleted from the location registration history information based on the holding period of the location registration history information (3-8). In the control flow of these periodic processing systems, since the control flow of each periodic processing can be executed in an independent period, the periodic event of each periodic processing system can be different.

なお、図3の制御フローの例では、測定した位置登録要求のトラヒック量の情報を基にリトライ送信間隔及びトライ数閾値を制御する例を示したが、曜日又は時間帯に応じた位置登録要求の単位時間当たりの平均的なトラヒック量に基づいて、該トラヒック量が多い曜日又は時間帯にリトライ送信間隔を長くし、該トラヒック量が少ない曜日又は時間帯に位置登録要求のリトライ送信間隔を短くするよう制御する構成とすることができる。   In the example of the control flow in FIG. 3, the example of controlling the retry transmission interval and the threshold for the number of trials based on the information on the traffic amount of the measured location registration request is shown. However, the location registration request according to the day of the week or the time zone is shown. Based on the average traffic volume per unit time, the retry transmission interval is lengthened on the day of the week or time period when the traffic volume is large, and the retry transmission interval of the location registration request is shortened on the day or time period when the traffic volume is small. It can be set as the structure controlled to do.

また、同様にトラヒック量が多い曜日又は時間帯にトライ数閾値の値を大きくし、トラヒック量が少ない曜日又は時間帯にトライ数閾値の値を小さくするよう、トライ数閾値を制御する構成とすることができる。   Similarly, the trie threshold value is controlled so that the value of the trie threshold value is increased on a day of the week or time period with a large traffic volume, and the value of the trie threshold value is decreased on a day of the week or time period with a low traffic volume. be able to.

図4〜図7を参照して移動局がフェムトセルを通過する際の動作例について説明する。この動作例においてトライ数閾値(即ち、位置登録要求数の閾値)を2回とする。図4はフェムト無線基地局8−6がカバーするフェムトセル8−9を、移動局8−7が通過する態様を示している。なお、フェムトセル8−9はマクロセルに囲まれているものとする。また、フェムト無線基地局8−6は、ネットワーク(例えばIP網)8−5を介して、上位の無線基地局制御装置に位置登録情報を送出する。   An operation example when the mobile station passes through the femtocell will be described with reference to FIGS. In this operation example, the threshold for the number of tries (that is, the threshold for the number of location registration requests) is set to twice. FIG. 4 shows a mode in which the mobile station 8-7 passes through the femtocell 8-9 covered by the femto radio base station 8-6. Note that the femtocell 8-9 is surrounded by the macrocell. In addition, the femto radio base station 8-6 transmits the location registration information to the upper radio base station control device via the network (for example, IP network) 8-5.

フェムトセルとマクロセルの電界強度の関係を図5に示す。同図の(a)はフェムトセルの電界強度を示し、(b)はマクロセルの電界強度を示している。同図において横軸は通話エリア内の所在位置(場所)、縦軸は電界強度を示している。フェムトセルの電界強度(a)がマクロセルの電界強度(b)を越える地点を移動局が通過したとき、マクロセルからフェムトセルへの位置登録要求が該移動局より発せられる。また、フェムトセルの電界強度(a)がマクロセルの電界強度(b)より小さくなる地点を移動局が通過したとき、フェムトセルからマクロセルへの位置登録要求が該移動局より発せられる。   FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the field strength of the femtocell and the macrocell. (A) of the figure shows the electric field strength of the femto cell, and (b) shows the electric field strength of the macro cell. In the figure, the horizontal axis indicates the location (location) in the call area, and the vertical axis indicates the electric field strength. When the mobile station passes a point where the electric field strength (a) of the femtocell exceeds the electric field strength (b) of the macrocell, a location registration request from the macrocell to the femtocell is issued from the mobile station. Further, when the mobile station passes a point where the electric field strength (a) of the femtocell is smaller than the electric field strength (b) of the macrocell, a location registration request from the femtocell to the macrocell is issued from the mobile station.

この動作例の処理シーケンスを図6及び図7に示す。移動局8−7がマクロセル8−8に在圏した時点で、無線基地局8−4を介して図6のシーケンス6−1〜6−7による位置登録が実施される。このシーケンス6−1〜6−7による位置登録は、図9で説明した位置登録の処理シーケンスと同様である。   The processing sequence of this operation example is shown in FIGS. When the mobile station 8-7 is located in the macro cell 8-8, the location registration by the sequences 6-1 to 6-7 in FIG. 6 is performed via the radio base station 8-4. The location registration by the sequences 6-1 to 6-7 is the same as the location registration processing sequence described with reference to FIG.

フェムト無線基地局8−6は、位置登録要求のリトライ送信間隔の情報を含む報知情報の電波を移動局8−7に向けて常時送信している(図6の6−8、図4の(I)参照)。移動局8−7がフェムトセル8−9に進入し、移動局8−7は、フェムトセル無線基地局8−6からの電波を検出すると、フェムト無線基地局8−6に位置登録要求の信号を送信する(図7の7−1、図4の(II)参照)。   The femto radio base station 8-6 constantly transmits a radio wave of broadcast information including information on the retry transmission interval of the location registration request to the mobile station 8-7 (6-8 in FIG. 6, ( I)). When the mobile station 8-7 enters the femtocell 8-9 and the mobile station 8-7 detects a radio wave from the femtocell radio base station 8-6, a signal for requesting location registration is sent to the femto radio base station 8-6. (Refer to 7-1 in FIG. 7 and (II) in FIG. 4).

フェムト無線基地局8−6は、移動局8−7の移動局識別番号を元に位置登録履歴情報を検索し、位置登録の実績の存否について判定し、以下の制御を行う。位置登録履歴情報として過去に位置登録の実績が登録されている移動局であれば、該移動局に対して位置登録を実施する(図7の7−2〜7−7参照)。   The femto radio base station 8-6 searches the location registration history information based on the mobile station identification number of the mobile station 8-7, determines the presence / absence of location registration results, and performs the following control. If the mobile station has been registered in the past as location registration history information, location registration is performed on the mobile station (see 7-2 to 7-7 in FIG. 7).

過去に位置登録の実績が登録されてない移動局に対しては、移動局識別番号を元に位置登録リトライ制御情報を検索し、該移動局からの位置登録要求のトライ数をカウントしてトライ数閾値と比較照合する。この場合、トライ数が1(1回目なので)でトライ数閾値2以上でないため、この位置登録要求信号を破棄し(図7の7−8参照)、移動局8−7からの次の位置登録要求のリトライを待つ(図4の(III)参照)。   For mobile stations that have not been registered for location registration in the past, search for location registration retry control information based on the mobile station identification number, and count the number of location registration request trials from the mobile station. Compare with the number threshold. In this case, since the number of tries is 1 (because it is the first time) and is not greater than the threshold value of the number of tries 2, this location registration request signal is discarded (see 7-8 in FIG. 7), and the next location registration from the mobile station 8-7. Wait for request retry (see (III) in FIG. 4).

移動局8−7は、位置登録要求に対するフェムト無線基地局8−6からの応答が無いため、応答待ちのタイムアウト後、フェムト無線基地局8−6から指示されたリトライ送信間隔の時間が経過した後に位置登録要求のリトライを行う(図7の7−9、図4の(IV)参照)。   Since there is no response from the femto radio base station 8-6 in response to the location registration request, the mobile station 8-7 has passed the retry transmission interval time instructed from the femto radio base station 8-6 after the response wait timed out The location registration request is retried later (see 7-9 in FIG. 7 and (IV) in FIG. 4).

フェムト無線基地局8−6は、移動局識別番号を元に位置登録リトライ制御情報を検索し、当該移動局からの位置登録要求のトライ数をカウントしてトライ数閾値と比較照合し、トライ数がトライ数閾値2に達したことから、該位置登録要求を受理し、位置登録を実施する(図7の7−10〜7−15、図4の(V)参照)。   The femto radio base station 8-6 searches the location registration retry control information based on the mobile station identification number, counts the number of tries in the location registration request from the mobile station, compares it with the threshold for the number of trials, Therefore, the location registration request is accepted and location registration is performed (see 7-10 to 7-15 in FIG. 7 and (V) in FIG. 4).

位置登録が成功すると、位置登録履歴情報に一定期間、当該移動局の位置登録が成功した実績の情報を記憶保持させるため、当該移動局の移動局識別番号をタイムスタンプと共にメモリに登録する。また、位置登録リトライ制御情報から、当該当該移動局のトライ数の登録情報を削除する。   When the location registration is successful, the mobile station identification number of the mobile station is registered in the memory together with the time stamp so that the location registration history information stores information on the record of the successful location registration of the mobile station for a certain period. Further, the registration information of the number of tries of the mobile station is deleted from the location registration retry control information.

フェムトセル無線基地局8−6を介して位置登録が実施された移動局8−7がフェムトセルの圏外に移動すると、その周囲を覆うマクロセルをカバーする無線基地局8−4を介して、図6のシーケンス6−9〜6−15による位置登録が実施される。このシーケンス6−9〜6−15による位置登録は、図9で説明した位置登録の処理シーケンスと同様である。なお、フェムトセル無線基地局8−6による位置登録が実施されなかった移動局8−7に対しては、シーケンス6−9〜6−15によるマクロセルでの位置登録は実施されない。   When the mobile station 8-7, whose location is registered via the femtocell radio base station 8-6, moves out of the femtocell area, the radio base station 8-4 covering the macro cell covering the periphery of the mobile station 8-7 6 is registered in the sequence 6-9 to 6-15. The location registration by the sequences 6-9 to 6-15 is the same as the location registration processing sequence described in FIG. In addition, for the mobile station 8-7 that has not been subjected to the location registration by the femtocell radio base station 8-6, the location registration in the macro cell by the sequences 6-9 to 6-15 is not performed.

以上の制御シーケンスにより、フェムトセルに長時間在圏し、位置登録要求を所定回数以上の繰り返し行う移動局、又は所定期間内の過去の時点で位置登録の実績が有る移動局に対してのみ位置登録を実施し、フェムトセルを通過するだけで一時的に短時間在圏する移動局に対しては位置登録を実施せず、位置登録の実施を抑制することができる。   By the above control sequence, the mobile station has been in the femtocell for a long time and repeats location registration requests more than a predetermined number of times, or only for mobile stations that have a history of location registration within a predetermined period of time. Registration is performed, and location registration is not performed for mobile stations that are temporarily located for a short time only after passing through the femtocell, and location registration can be suppressed.

なお、移動局がフェムトセルで位置登録要求のリトライを行っている間は、そのフェムトセルでの通信サービスを受けることはできないが、元々在圏していたマクロセルをカバーする無線基地局を介した通信は可能であるため、サービス面において支障は生じない。   While a mobile station is retrying a location registration request at a femtocell, it cannot receive a communication service at that femtocell, but via a radio base station that covers the macrocell that was originally located. Since communication is possible, there is no problem in terms of service.

また、敢えて移動局に位置登録要求を所定回数までリトライさせることにより、該リトライによる制御信号数が増加し、フェムト無線基地局の処理負荷を増大させる懸念が有るが、単にフェムトセルを通過するために在圏したユーザの移動局は、位置登録要求のリトライの開始前にフェムトセルの圏外に移動してしまう場合が多く、また、フェムトセルは元々小さいエリアであるため、該エリアに在圏する移動局数はそれほど多くはならない。   In addition, there is a concern that the number of control signals due to the retry increases by causing the mobile station to retry the location registration request up to a predetermined number of times, which increases the processing load of the femto radio base station. In many cases, the mobile station of a user who has been in the area moves out of the femtocell area before the start of the location registration request retry, and since the femtocell is originally a small area, the mobile station is in that area. The number of mobile stations does not increase that much.

従って、移動局に位置登録要求を所定回数までリトライさせても、フェムト無線基地局にとって過度の負担とはならない。しかし、極力リトライによる制御信号数の増大を抑えるために、過去に位置登録の実績の有る移動局に対しては、1回の位置登録要求で位置登録を実施することとすることにより、制御信号数の増大を抑制することができる。   Therefore, even if the mobile station is retried a location registration request up to a predetermined number of times, there is no excessive burden on the femto radio base station. However, in order to suppress the increase in the number of control signals due to retries as much as possible, for a mobile station that has a history of location registration in the past, by performing location registration with a single location registration request, the control signal An increase in the number can be suppressed.
