FIG. 38 is an operation sequence diagram of the conventional wireless switching system. As shown in the figure, when a call request is made from the wireless telephone J3, the wireless telephone J3
Transmits a connection notification signal to the connection device J2 on a predetermined wireless control channel (sequence J401). The connection device J2 that has received this connection notification signal
Checks the usage status of the wireless communication channel and, if there is a usable communication channel, transmits a connection response signal to the wireless dedicated telephone J3 (J402).

Upon receiving the above connection response signal, the wireless telephone J3 switches the frequency used from the wireless control channel to the wireless communication channel, and transmits a channel movement notification signal to the connection device J2 (J403). After this,
Sends and receives signals on the call channel.

The connection device J which has received the above movement notification signal

When the wireless dedicated telephone J3 receives the channel movement response signal in the above sequence J404 and confirms the establishment of the wireless line, it sends the outside line transmission signal to the connection device J.
2 (J406). The connection device J2, which has received this outside line transmission signal, makes an outside line transmission to the main device J1 (J407), and a voice connection request is sent from the main device J1 to the connection device J2 (J408), and also from the connection device J2 for wireless communication. When the call is made to the telephone J3 (J409), a dial tone is sent (J410). Therefore, a dial call is made (J411), and thereafter, the main device J1 makes a call operation to an outside line, and when the other party answers, the call shifts to the call (J41).
2).

With the above-described procedure, the wireless telephone can make a call through the public line, but for an incoming call, the call is started by acquiring the wireless call channel by the same procedure as above. , You can continue. <Other conventional example> Recently, PHS, which is a digital wireless telephone system, has been introduced. This is a π / 4 shift QP.
This is a system for wirelessly transmitting 32 kbps data by 4-channel time division multiplexing (TDMA) by the SK modulation method, and a base station (corresponding to the above connection device) has a maximum of four mobile stations (corresponding to the above wireless terminals). It is a system that can communicate at the same time.

[0022]

However, in the first conventional example, since the narrow band FM of the analog radio is used as the radio modulation system, there are the following drawbacks. 1. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the wireless terminal and the connection device, and in order to establish communication between the connection device and the wireless terminal, the control channel assigned to a limited number of specific frequencies is temporarily monopolized. It is necessary to establish a wireless link, and each wireless terminal is limited in the occupation time of the control channel, but while one wireless terminal occupies the control channel, another wireless terminal uses the control channel. However, it takes time to start communication, and the control for establishing the wireless link becomes complicated. 2. After the wireless link is established by the control channel, the call is switched to the call channel assigned to a frequency different from the control channel to carry out the call. Therefore, it is not possible to simultaneously establish a wireless link as a phase in the control channel and the call channel, and it is necessary to take special means such as using a signal other than the call signal band in order to transmit / receive control information during a call. Yes, you cannot freely send and receive control information during a call. 3. There is a one-to-one correspondence between wireless terminals and connection devices, and regardless of the number of external lines accommodated in the system, connection devices are required for the number of extension wireless terminals accommodated in the system. Generally, the number of external lines accommodated in the system is required. On the other hand, since the number of extension lines is larger than that of the other types, if a number of connecting devices equal to the number of extension lines is provided, the system becomes costly.

The second conventional example has the following drawbacks. 4. Although the digital radio system is adopted and the control channel and the call channel are TDMA, the control channel and the call channel are allocated to different frequencies, and the control channel itself is TDMA, but the number is increasing,
Control channel acquisition conflict occurs, it takes time to start communication, and control for establishing a wireless link becomes complicated. 5. After the wireless link is established by the control channel, a call channel assigned to a frequency different from that of the control channel is used to make a call, and the call channel has a frame structure capable of transmitting and receiving control information. In this way, control information can be sent and received during a call, but the wireless link cannot be established as a phase in the control channel and the call channel at the same time, and the control information processing differs between when the control channel is used and when the call channel is used. , Control becomes complicated. 6. Since TDMA is used, the number of base stations is 1 / the number of mobile stations.
However, in PHS, the number of base stations is basically determined based on the number of mobile stations. Therefore, when the number of mobile stations is larger than the number of outside lines, the number of base stations is also 1/4 of the number of mobile stations. However, the cost of the system increases in proportion to the increase in the number of mobile stations, and the system cost also increases in proportion to the number of mobile stations.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, prevents contention of control communication paths, shortens the time until the wireless link is connected, and simplifies the connection control of the wireless link. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wireless switching system that can be realized.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Among the digital wireless communication systems in recent years, the spread spectrum communication has received particular attention. This spread spectrum communication is known as a technique that spreads information to be transmitted in a wide band to enhance the interference removal capability and to provide excellent confidentiality. Currently around the world, 2.4
Frequencies in the GHz band are assigned for spread spectrum communication and are being spread all over the world.

The spread spectrum communication systems are roughly classified into frequency hopping (FH system) and direct spread (DS system). The FH method is to perform transmission using a wide band by changing the modulation frequency within a fixed time, and the DS method is to transmit information by pseudo noise code at a speed that is ten to several hundred times faster. A wide band is used by performing spread modulation.

In the embodiment, a case will be described in which the digital radio communication by the above-mentioned frequency hopping method is used for transmission between the extension wireless terminal of the switching system and the connection device and between the wireless terminals.

The maximum is 20. This number does not depend on the time division multiplexing number of the wireless terminal in the connection device (that is, the number of channels of the wireless communication channel for communication).

That is, if 20 wireless terminals exist within the range where wireless communication is possible with one connection device and the control wireless communication path is established by registering the location in the connection device, the connection is established. If there is a vacancy in the four-channel communication wireless communication path of the device, a maximum of four arbitrary wireless terminals out of 20 can be simultaneously connected to the public line by using the communication wireless communication path of the connection device. Can communicate.

Further, in the embodiment, the number of time division multiplexes of the wireless terminals in the connection device, that is, the number of communication slot multiplexes of the communication channel between the connection device and the wireless terminal is 4,
It goes without saying that the time division multiplex number may be other than 4 depending on the processing speed of the wireless device, the processing capability of the control unit, etc. It doesn't matter. <System Configuration> FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of a wireless switching system (hereinafter referred to as a system) according to an embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 15, the present channel codec 801 is connected to a wireless section 802, an ADPCM codec 803 built in a wireless-only telephone or the like, and a CPU 804 of a wireless-only telephone or a wireless adapter. Further, inside the channel codec 801, the wireless control unit 80
5 controls transmission / reception switching and frequency hopping with respect to the radio unit 802. This wireless controller 805
Further, it also has a function of performing carrier detection prior to data transmission.

The CPU I / F 807 is an i / f for exchanging control information with the CPU 804, has a built-in register for storing the state and operation mode of each unit in the channel codec, and controls signals from the CPU 804. The control of each part of the channel codec is performed according to the state of each part in the channel codec. ADPCM codec i / f8
Reference numeral 06 exchanges serial data and a synchronization clock for exchanging audio signals with the ADPCM codec 803. In addition, the transmission frame processing unit 808
Signal from ADPCM codec 803 and CPU 804
The logical control data input from the above is assembled into the above transmission frame.

The reception frame processing unit 809 is a radio unit 80.
The control information and audio data are extracted from the signal frame from 2 and are stored in the ADPCM codec i / f806 or C.
Pass to PUi / f807. The synchronization processing unit 810 uses the DPL
It is composed of L and recovers a clock from a received signal to capture bit synchronization.

The basic operation of the above channel codec will be described below. 1. At the time of transmission, the control information added to the transmission data frame is received from the CPU 804 at the CPU i / f 807. When the channel codec is used in the wireless-only telephone and the connection device in the main device, the transmission frame processing unit 8 is combined with the data from the ADPCM codec 803.
At 08, a transmission frame is assembled. When the channel codec is used in the data terminal, the transmission frame processing unit 808 assembles the transmission frame together with the error-correction-coded burst data.

When assembling this frame, the data is scrambled. This is necessary to maintain DC balance during wireless transmission. Wireless controller 80
At 5 the timing at which the received signal ends, after carrier sensing, the wireless unit is set to transmit and the transmission frame is passed to the wireless unit. 2. The reception wireless control unit 805 switches the wireless unit 802 to reception when the data to be transmitted is completed, and waits for a reception frame. When the received frame is received, the control information and the data are extracted from the received frame after descramble the data. This control information is passed to the CPU 804 via the CPU i / f 807.

The received frame is PCF or PPF
In the case of, the received data is ADPCM codec i / f
If the channel codec is used for the wireless-only telephone, it is output as voice through the ADPCM codec 803, and if it is used by the main device, it is sent to the communication path. When the received frame is BDF, the received data is transferred to the memory in the data terminal. 3. Handling of logical control data (3-1) Standby At standby, the L waits at the frequency assigned in advance by the main unit and is periodically sent from the main unit.
Receive CCH-T. At this time, the LCCH sent from the main device includes information such as whether or not there is an incoming call to the outside line and whether or not there is a call request to the wireless telephone. Then, the wireless telephone sends the LCCH extracted by the reception frame processing unit to the CPU. After that, the LCCH sent from the CPU to the main unit is sent to the LC in the same frame.
Send to the main device by CH-R. Thus, the wireless-only telephone repeats the above procedure until a call is made or an incoming call is made. (3-2) A case where the wireless telephone A makes a call during communication will be described as an example.

It is assumed that the wireless telephone A exchanges the LCCH with the main unit on the frequency channel F1 during no communication. The wireless telephone A monitors the LCCH from the main unit on the frequency channel F1 by the procedure described in the standby state (3-1) until a call is made. When a call is made from the wireless telephone A, (3
In the procedure shown in -1), a call request is put in the LCCH-R to be sent to the main device and sent to the main device. The LCCH that notifies whether communication is possible from the main device side, after 100 ms,
It is determined by the LCCH sent on the frequency channel F1.

When the content of the LCCH from the main unit after the call request is made and the line cannot be connected because the line is blocked, the wireless telephone A informs the user that it is busy. However, if the content of the LCCH from the main device after the call request indicates that connection is possible, the time slot of the voice channel used in the call within the same LCCH-T is specified. For example, when "1" is designated, it indicates that communication is performed using T1 and R1. Then, communication is performed while switching the frequency channel according to the frequency hopping pattern designated by FS and NFR in the FSYN frame.
It should be noted that the exchange of control information after connecting to the main device is performed by Tn.
And D channel information in the Rn frame.

In the case of the communication between wireless dedicated telephones, the control information is exchanged between the wireless dedicated telephones by using the D channel information, and after the communication is completed, the LCCH-R of the frequency channel for which each wireless dedicated telephone is designated. That is, in the case of the above example, the wireless dedicated telephone A notifies the main unit from the wireless dedicated telephone that the communication between wireless dedicated telephones has ended on the frequency channel F1. <Description of Frequency Hopping Pattern> FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the concept of frequency hopping used in this system.

The system according to the embodiment uses 26 frequency channels with a width of 1 MHz, which uses a band of 26 MHz which is approved for use in Japan.
Then, considering the case where there is a frequency that cannot be used due to interference noise or the like, 20 frequency channels are selected from the 26 channels, and frequency hopping is performed on the selected frequency channels in a predetermined order.

In this system, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, one frame of communication data has a length of 5 ms, and
Hopping the frequency channel for each frame. Therefore, the length of one cycle of one hopping pattern is 10
It is 0 ms.

In FIG. 16, different hopping patterns are shown by different patterns, and a pattern is used in each frame such that the same frequency is not used at the same time. This makes it possible to prevent data errors and the like from occurring. Further, when accommodating a plurality of connecting devices, different hopping patterns are used for the respective connecting devices in order to prevent interference between the connecting devices. With this method, a system having a multi-cell configuration can be realized and a wide service area can be obtained. <Explanation of detailed operation> As described above, in the present system, frames are assembled for communication between the main device, the wireless telephone and the data terminal, and between the terminals, and the frequency to be used is set at regular intervals. Control to switch to.

The specific operation of this system will be described in detail below. 1. Basic operation procedure In this system, before using the call channel,
Logical control channels (LCCHT and LCCHR) that are time-division multiplexed in the frame are used to determine the slot to be used and the hopping pattern. Furthermore, in order to enable each terminal to perform intermittent reception and save power (battery saving), each terminal is designed to transmit and receive only on a logical control channel that transmits at a frequency assigned in advance.

Immediately after the power is turned on, the terminal does not recognize the hopping pattern. Therefore, it waits at an arbitrary frequency and receives a frame at that frequency. Then, when the first frame is received, the frequency information of the next frame contained therein is fetched, and thereafter, frequency hopping is started. When a plurality of connecting devices are used, the hopping pattern used by the connecting device that was able to receive the frame for the first time is followed.

Immediately after the power is turned on, which terminal is assigned to which frequency is not determined. Therefore, when the power is turned on, the ID of each terminal is registered and the logical control channel frequency is assigned in the setting mode. Then, when the logical control channel is assigned, each terminal enters the intermittent reception state and receives only the logical control data addressed to itself. Also, only when data to be transmitted to the main device is generated, the data is transmitted to the main device by using the LCCHR of the assigned frequency.

When it is desired to start the communication using the call slot, the main device is notified of the fact using the logical control channel, and the slot and the hopping pattern are assigned. Then, after these allocations are made, it becomes possible to carry out a call or data transmission.

Detailed operations will be described below in some cases. 2. Operation at Power-on of Main Device (Connecting Device) and Wireless Terminal (Setting Mode) This mode is a mode for registering an ID and setting a frequency of a logical control channel to be used.

3, the PCF frame to which the hopping pattern information (frequency hopping in the next unit time) and the ID of this system are added is transmitted to the wireless terminals 103 and 104. At this time, the ID part (FIG. 11) in the PCF frame contains the system ID, the NFR part (FIG. 11) contains information on the frequency hopping in the next unit time in the hopping pattern, and the LCCH part (FIG. 13). Contains information on a free control channel (LCCH-R) that can be used on the wireless terminal side.

Next, when the main device 1 (connecting device 2) receives the information for position registration such as the system ID and the wireless terminal ID from the wireless terminal 103 (S2204), the wireless terminal 103 at step S2205. Wireless terminal ID
Is stored, the control channel (frequency) for transmitting the wireless communication control information addressed to the wireless terminals 103 and 104 is determined, and this is notified to the wireless terminals 103 and 104 in step S2206 (103 and 104 in FIG. 1). . (2) Description of Operation Flow at Power-on of Wireless Terminal First, when the power switch of the main body of the wireless terminal 103 is turned on, a setting mode is set, and the wireless terminal 103 performs initial setting of the main body in step S2301 of FIG. Then, in step S2302, the operator inputs the wireless terminal ID of the wireless terminal 103 from the key matrix, and the wireless terminal 103 stores this wireless terminal ID.

Next, in step S2303, the PCF frame from the main device 1 (connecting device 2) is received, so that the reception standby state is set at an arbitrary frequency. If the PCF frame from the main device (connection device 2) can be received in step S2304, the system ID is recognized and stored from the ID part (FIG. 11) in the PCF frame and the LCCH-T part (FIG. 13) is received in step S2305. ), Free channel information (frequency for transmitting a PCF frame from the wireless terminal to the main device) is acquired. Also, the frequency hopping in the next unit time is acquired from the NFR part in the PCF frame, the wireless terminal 103 moves the received frequency to that frequency, and the next PC
Wait for F frame. The wireless terminal 103 repeats this operation, recognizes the frequency hopping pattern, and stores it (S2306).

When the wireless terminal 103 finds the hopping pattern and the system ID, it sends a frame (FIG. 8) to which the system ID and the ID information of the wireless terminal 103 are added in the idle control channel obtained from the LCCH-T section. It is transmitted to the main device (S2307).

After that, when the control channel frequency designation information is received from the main device 1 (connection device 2), intermittent reception is started on the designated control channel (S2308),

Next, the wireless telephone 103-A which has received the dial information input from the key matrix 414,
A dial signal (3008) is transmitted to the connection device 2 (S3
204) and in response thereto, the connection adapter 2 sends a dial (3007) to the main device 1. The final dial is monitored for timeout. The wireless telephone 103-A is
After the final dial is detected, a ringback tone indicating that the other party is calling is transmitted from the speaker or the transmitter.

The main unit 1 dials (30
07) is received (S3105), the dial is analyzed and the extension incoming call (3009) is transmitted to the connection adapter 2 (S3105).
3106). In response to this, the connection adapter 2 transmits the extension incoming signal (3010) to the wireless telephone 103-B by using the LCCH-T of the PCF frame.

When the wireless telephone 103-B receives the extension incoming signal (3010) (S3301), the speaker 4
The extension ringing tone is sounded from 12 and the extension LED is blinked (S3302), the user is notified of the incoming call and the user is prompted to respond, and the key matrix 414 waits for the user to respond.

When the response from the user is detected by off-hook (S3303), the wireless telephone 103-B sends the off-hook signal (3012) to the LCC of the PCF frame.
It is transmitted to the connection device 2 using HR (S3304), the ringing tone of the extension from the speaker 412 is stopped, and the extension LED is turned on. The connection device 2 receives the off-hook signal (3012) from the wireless telephone 103-B.
Sends an off-hook (3011) to the main device 1. When the main device 1 receives the off-hook (3011) from the connection device 2 (S3107), the connection device 2 receives the wireless telephone 10.
An extension response (3013) indicating that the wireless dedicated telephone 103-B addressed to 3-A responds and an extension communication permission (3015) addressed to the wireless dedicated telephone 103-B is transmitted (S310).
8). In response to this, the connection device 2 causes the wireless dedicated telephone 10
The extension response signal (3014) is transmitted to 3-A. When the main device 1 transmits the extension response (3013), the CPU 201 in the main device 1 stores and manages the empty time slot and hopping pattern stored in the RAM 203, and the PP to be used.
Voice channels in F frame (T1 to T4, R1 to R
4) and other communication resources are allocated to the direct communication between the wireless-only telephone 103-A and the wireless-only telephone 103-B, and this communication resource information is sent via the connection device 2 to the extension response signal (LCCH-T of the PCF frame). 3014) to the wireless dedicated telephone 103-A.

The wireless telephone 103-A receives the extension response signal (3014) (S3205) and, upon confirming the response from the other party, transmits the voice channel connection completion signal (3006) to the connection device 2 using the LCCH-R. (S320
6), Stop sending ringback tone from the speaker or transmitter, switch to the assigned call channel to communicate with the communication partner, control the microphone, speaker or transmitter, and talk with the communication partner. It becomes medium (3019) (S3208). The connection device 2 is a wireless dedicated telephone 103
-When the voice channel connection completion signal (3006) from A is received, the voice channel connection completion (300
5) is transmitted. In step S3108, the main device 1 transmits the extension communication permission (3015) addressed to the wireless telephone 103-B to the connection device 2, and then the connection device 2
Sends an extension communication permission signal (30
16) is transmitted. This extension communication permission signal (3016)
Also includes communication resource information such as hopping patterns and voice channel numbers used for direct communication.

The wireless telephone 103-B is connected to the connection device 2
When the extension communication permission signal (3016) is received (S3
305), and transmits a voice signal connection completion signal (3018) to the connection adapter 2 (S3306). In response to this, the connection device 2 completes the voice channel connection to the main device 1 (3
017) is transmitted. Then, the wireless telephone 103-
B shifts to the voice channel obtained from the communication resource information in the extension communication permission signal (3016), and the call (30
19). That is, in the subsequent direct communication between the wireless dedicated telephones, the control data and the voice data exchanged between the telephones are communicated through this voice channel. Specifically, in Tn and Rn of the PPF frame of FIG.
2, the control data is a D time slot,
Voice data is communicated in the B time slot.

Even when direct communication is performed between the telephones, the frequency is switched to the frequency at which the PCF is transmitted at the timing of the beginning of the frame to receive LCCH-T or LCCH-T.
The ability to send -R is a major feature of this system. By doing this,
It is possible to receive data from the main device even during communication on the extension line, and it is possible to deal with services such as incoming calls.

Now, the main unit 1 completes the connection of the voice signal from the wireless telephone 103-B from the connection unit 2 (3017).
If the message is received (S3109), the wireless dedicated telephone 10
It is determined that the 3-A and the wireless telephone 103-B have started a call, and waits for the extension communication to end (S3110). On the other hand, wireless-only telephone 103-A and wireless-only telephone 103-
B is the state of the wireless line and the key matrix 41 of the user
Monitor 4.

After the call is completed, the wireless telephone 103-A
When the on-hook signal is detected (S3209), the wireless telephone 103-A transmits an on-hook signal (3020) to the wireless telephone 103-B. On the other hand, the wireless telephone 103-B which has received the on-hook signal (3020) transmits the on-hook confirmation signal (3021) by the control information in the call channel.

Upon receiving the on-hook confirmation signal (3021), the wireless telephone 103-A switches the call channel to the logical control channel, and the extension communication end signal (302
3) is transmitted to the connection device 2. In response to this, the connection adapter 2 transmits extension communication end (3022) to the main device 1.
When the main device 1 receives the extension communication end (3022) (S3110), the connection device 2 disconnects the voice channel (30).
24, 3026) is transmitted (S3111). In response to this, the connection adapter 2 sends a voice channel disconnect signal (3025) to the wireless dedicated telephone 103-A and a voice channel disconnected signal (3027) to the wireless dedicated telephone 103-B.
To send. Upon receiving the voice channel disconnection signal (3025) (S3213), the wireless telephone 103-A disconnects the voice channel (S3214). Similarly, the wireless telephone 103-B also receives the voice channel disconnection signal (302
7) is received (S3310), the wireless dedicated telephone 10
3-B disconnects the voice channel (S3311). Then, the main device 1 releases the communication resources such as the voice channel allocated to the wireless telephones A and B (S3112).

By the above procedure, a direct call between extension lines can be realized.

The basic part of the above-mentioned procedure is also used in the data transmission from the computer to the printer, which will be described next. 6. Processing at the time of data transmission from a computer to a printer The wireless switching system according to the embodiment is capable of high-speed data transmission between extensions. Therefore,
A process for transmitting data from the computer to the printer in a burst will be described. Note that the control procedure between the main device and the terminal is basically the same as the processing for the inter-extension call described above, and therefore the different portions will be mainly described here.

First, when the printing application program of the computer is activated, a wireless adapter driver (not shown) incorporated in the data terminal operates, and the wireless adapter 4 (see FIG. 2) is operated via the communication interface section. Send data request and destination number (extension number of printer).

Next, the wireless adapter enters into a procedure for making an extension call. That is, the logical control channel (LCCH-
R) sends an extension call request to the main unit. However,
Unlike the above-mentioned extension call, since it is necessary to use a burst data frame (BDF), the extension call request event information contains information requesting BDF allocation.

Upon receiving the extension call request event information, the main unit notifies the wireless adapter connected to the printer, which is the data transmission destination, of the incoming call by using the logical control channel (LCCH-T). Then, when the main device receives the incoming call permission from the printer side, it assigns the BDF hopping pattern to be used to the sending side computer and the receiving side printer. After the hopping pattern is assigned, the computer and the printer start data communication without going through the main device.

Since the BDF is for carrying out burst transmission, it normally carries out unidirectional data transmission, but at the start of communication, the computer and the printer carry out transmission in sequence for each frame. During this period, the computer determines how many frames of data should be continuously transmitted, and then how many frames of data should be transmitted from the printer. By taking such a procedure, it is possible to realize optimized channel use according to the application of the terminal.

After the above procedure is completed, the wireless adapter performs error correction processing on the print data received from the computer, assembles a frame, and then transmits the data to the printer. Here, by using BDF, 450
Transmission of about kbps is possible.

Although the data transmission from the computer to the printer has been described above, the same procedure can be used for the data transmission between the computers. 7. Processing at the time of personal computer communication access from the computer to the public network In this system, not only high-speed data transmission within the system but also data transmission to the public network is possible, and it is possible to support applications such as personal computer communication. it can. Here, the basic operation procedure is also the same as the case of making an outside line from the wireless-only telephone, and hence the following description will be focused on the different parts.

When the personal computer communication application program of the computer is activated, the wireless adapter driver incorporated in the data terminal operates and sends an outside line transmission request to the wireless adapter 4 via the communication interface section. As a result, the wireless adapter enters the outside line calling procedure. In other words, the logical control channel (LCCH-R) is used to send an external line transmission request to the main device side and receive an allocation of an empty slot of PCF. After the slot is assigned, the data is transmitted using the slot having the PCF transmission rate of 32 kbps.

On the other hand, in order to transmit data to the analog public line, it is necessary to modulate the data by the modem. Therefore, when transmitting data to an external line (analog specification), the data is modemd inside the wireless adapter 4. Modulated by
It is set in a state capable of transmission in the voice band (300 Hz to 3.4 KHz). Since the data modulated by such a modem can be treated as voice information, this information is ADP.
It will be CM encoded and frame assembled.

By following the procedure described above, it becomes possible to support an application such as personal computer communication using the same procedure as a normal voice call.

As described above, in this system, in addition to the call function that is used in the conventional telephone exchange,
High-speed data transmission is also possible. In particular, the data terminal enables high-speed data transmission within the system and also enables access to the public network.

As described above, in the embodiment,
It is possible to establish a control wireless communication path (control channel) and a call wireless communication path (call channel) between a connection device and a wireless terminal at the same time, and even in the communication phase using the call channel, it is the same as the call connection phase. It is possible to process control information by using the control channel, which can unify control information processing, simplify control, prevent control channel contention, and connect the wireless link. This has the great effect of shortening the wireless connection and simplifying the wireless link connection control.

In the embodiment, only when the public line and the wireless terminal communicate with each other, a communication wireless communication path is established between the wireless terminal and the connection device, and the connection device and the public line are connected. Although the call exchange connection between the public line and the wireless terminal is performed by performing the call exchange connection in the above, when the public line and the wireless terminal communicate with each other, priority is given to the connection between the wireless terminal and the connection device. It is also possible to establish a wireless communication channel for communication and to perform call exchange connection between the connection device and the public line. That is, the wireless terminals may be able to communicate with each other via the connection device.

Further, in the embodiment, when the call connection between the public line and the wireless terminal is performed through the connection device, the time switch of the communication path section of the main device is connected between the connection device and the public line. Although it was decided to exchange the calls, the main unit was not provided with a time switch, and only the communication slots were exchanged on the time-division-multiplexed frame between the connection unit and the wireless terminal unit, and the public line and the wireless terminal were exchanged. It is also possible to make a call switching connection to and from.

In the embodiment, the control channel in the connection device / wireless terminal time division multiplex frame is used for one wireless device, but the control channel is further time-divided into control slots for a plurality of wireless terminals. It may be configured to be used.

Further, the main unit, the control unit, the configuration of the wireless terminal, the wireless unit, the hardware configuration of the channel codec, the format of the wireless frame (the detailed configuration of the control channel unit and the call channel unit), the frequency hopping control method, and the power supply startup. Needless to say, the operation sequence at the time of raising, making an outgoing call from an external line, making an incoming call to an internal line, and communicating a data terminal is not limited to the embodiment and can be changed without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[Second Embodiment] In the above-described embodiments, an analog public network is assumed as a public line. However, currently digital public networks (eg ISDN)
The maintenance of the ISDN is progressing rapidly, and it is possible to accommodate ISDN in the system in the future.

FIG. 30 is a diagram showing the structure of a wireless adapter for ISDN. In the figure, 1001 is ISDN
Terminal, 1002 is a wireless adapter for ISDN terminal, 100
A wireless unit 3 and a main controller 1004 are composed of a CPU, a peripheral device for interrupt control, an oscillator for a system clock, etc., and control each block in the wireless adapter. A memory 1005 is composed of a ROM for storing programs used by the main control unit, a RAM used as a buffer area for various processes, and the like.
Reference numeral 1006 denotes an assembly / disassembly unit of the ISDN frame.
The layer 1 processing of the SDN frame is performed. That is, AM
It has a function of converting an I code into a binary code, a function of multiplexing B channel data and D channel data, a function of detecting activation of layer 1, and the like. Reference numeral 1007 denotes a channel codec for frame processing and wireless control.
It has a function of assembling data received from N terminals into a radio frame.

FIG. 31 is a diagram showing a frame for data communication between the ISDN terminal and the main unit 1. In the figure, FSYN is a synchronization signal, LCCH-T is a logical control channel sent from the main device 1 to the wireless terminal 3, and LCCH-R.
Is a logical control channel sent from the wireless terminal 3 to the main unit 1, ISDN-T is a data slot sent from the main unit 1 to the ISDN wireless adapter 1002, 64 kbps
2 audio channels and 1 control channel of 16 kbps are multiplexed. ISDN-
R is a data slot to be transmitted from the ISDN wireless adapter 1001 to the main device 1, and is composed of two 64 kbps voice channels and one 16 kbps control channel.

In the above configuration, the ISDN terminal 100
The 192 kbps data received from the 1 is the ISDN frame assembling / disassembling unit 100 in the wireless adapter 1002.
It is decomposed at 6, and only B channel data and D channel data are extracted. Taken out, total 144 kbps
The minute data is put in the ISDN-T in the frame shown in FIG. 31 and transmitted to the main device 1 side.

On the contrary, the data from the main unit 1 is ISDN-
Received by R. Predetermined layer 1 information is added to the received 144 kbps data, converted into an AMI code, and then transmitted to the ISDN terminal 1001.

Next, the procedure when the video conference terminal having ISN i / f accesses the ISDN via the main unit 1 will be described below.

When a call request is generated in the video conference terminal, ISDN layers 1 to 3 are activated and data transmission is started. IS in the wireless adapter 1002
The DN frame assembling / disassembling unit 1006 extracts the D channel information and analyzes the contents. As a result, if the request is a call origination request (SetUp command), the wireless link acquisition procedure is started. That is, the call origination request is sent to the main unit 1 in the same procedure as when making a call from the wireless dedicated telephone described in the above-described embodiment, and the main unit 1 that receives the call origination request from the wireless adapter 1002 makes a call origination request to the ISDN line. Send out.

When such a calling procedure is completed and the other party responds, exchange control for connecting the B channel on the ISDN line side to the connecting device is performed. The B channel data received from the partner terminal is put into the ISDN-T of the radio frame and IS
It is sent to the DN terminal. Conversely, B sent by the ISDN terminal
The channel data is put in the ISDN-R of the radio frame and sent to the partner terminal.

In this way, the wireless switching system I
It becomes possible to accommodate SDN terminals.

In order to implement an application such as a video conference via ISDN, ISDN is not always required.
It is added that a terminal with an interface is not necessary. A terminal having a function of transmitting / receiving data at a transmission rate of 64 kbps or 128 kbps and having a function of wirelessly communicating with the main device can access the ISDN using the ISDN line interface in the main device. In particular, if the terminal itself incorporates the function of a wireless adapter, the ISDN frame assembling / disassembling unit becomes unnecessary, and an application such as a video conference can be realized with a simpler configuration.

In the above embodiments, low frequency frequency hopping is used. However, the same effect can be expected even when the direct diffusion method is used. This is realized by using the direct spreading method for the wireless units of the connection device 2, the wireless telephone 3 and the wireless adapter 4 in the main device configuration diagram shown in FIG.

FIG. 32 is a diagram showing an example of a communication procedure when the direct spreading method is used. First, communication is divided into a main device transmission frame and a slave device transmission frame on the time axis.
That is, the main device transmission frame and the slave device transmission frame are alternately transmitted.

FIG. 33 is a diagram showing an example of the main unit transmission frame. The main unit transmission frame has control information and data slots for each wireless terminal. In the figure, FSYN is a synchronizing signal, Ck is control information from the main unit to the wireless terminal k, Tk is transmission data for it, and GT is a guard time.

FIG. 34 is a diagram showing an example of a slave unit transmission frame. Each wireless terminal transmits control information and data in a certain time slot assigned in the slave device transmission frame. In the figure, FSYN is a synchronization signal, GT is a guard time, Ck is control information for the main device of the wireless terminal k, and Tk is transmission data for it.

Each transmission data is preceded by a control signal, and the receiving device establishes communication by discriminating to which connection device or wireless terminal the transmission data is directed. In this wireless exchange system, internal communication and communication with external lines are performed, but control of establishing a communication path is performed by the main device, and the main device manages the state of each wireless terminal and all communication.

As described above, since the channel transmission rate can be increased by using the direct sequence communication method, it is possible to obtain the effect of increasing the number of slot multiplexing in the frame. Further, it is possible to realize a wireless exchange system having excellent confidentiality and noise resistance more than when the FH method is used.

As described above, according to the embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

A control wireless communication channel (control channel) and a communication wireless communication channel (call channel) between the connection device and the wireless terminal
It is possible to simultaneously establish, and even in the communication phase using the call channel, it is possible to process the control information by using the control channel similarly to the call connection phase, unifying the control information processing, There is a great effect that the control can be simplified.

Further, by time-division multiplexing the control wireless communication path (control channel) and the call wireless communication path (call channel) between the connection device and the wireless terminal, both can be established by the same wireless link. This has a great effect that the circuit configuration of the wireless unit / wireless control unit is simplified and there is a cost advantage.

Furthermore, by using the control channel for time division for a predetermined number of wireless terminals which does not depend on the number of time divisions of the communication channel, contention of the control channel is prevented and the time until the wireless link is connected is shortened. There is a great effect that the wireless link connection control is simplified.

Also, in communication between wireless terminals,
While the communication channel is being used between wireless terminals, the control information can be freely exchanged between the connection device and the wireless terminal using the control channel, and it becomes possible to quickly display the usage status of the public line. there is a large effect that the use of the operator freely can be made to be not inferior to the wired terminal.

Furthermore, by time-division-multiplexing the connection channel between the connection device / wireless terminal and the communication channel between the wireless terminal / wireless terminal, both can be established by the same wireless link. It has a great effect that the circuit configuration is simplified and there is a cost advantage.

Also, by synchronizing the frames of the time division multiplex frame between the connecting device and the wireless terminal and the time division multiplex frame between the wireless terminal and the wireless terminal, the transmission and reception timings of the respective frames are integrated, and the circuit -It has a great effect that control is simplified and there is a cost advantage.

Further, by making the formats of the time division multiplex frame between the connecting device and the wireless terminal and the time division multiplex frame between the wireless terminal and the wireless terminal different, it is possible to distinguish each frame and prevent interference. It has a great effect.

Also, the control channel of the time division multiplex frame between the connection device and the wireless terminal and the control channel of the time division multiplex frame between the wireless terminals are made common, and the control channel between the connection device and the wireless terminal is set. By making the frequency of the call channel of the time division multiplex frame and the call channel of the time division multiplex frame between the wireless terminals different at the same time point, the processing of the control information is unified and the control is simplified, The respective communication channels can be distinguished, and there is a great effect that communication can be performed simultaneously without interference.

Furthermore, when the number of accommodating / connecting devices is 2 or more, 1
By differentiating the time-division multiplexed frame between one connection device / wireless terminal and the time-division multiplexed frame between other connection devices / wireless terminals, it is possible to distinguish each frame, which is a great effect of preventing interference. There is.

Further, the time division multiplex frame between one connection device / wireless terminal and the time division multiplex frame between another connection device / wireless terminal are differentiated by differentiating the frequency at the same time point. Therefore, there is a great effect that communication is possible at the same time without interference.

Further, when the number of accommodated wireless terminals exceeds the number of multiplexing of the communication slots of the communication channels between wireless terminals / wireless terminals, the communication channel between wireless terminals / wireless terminals of one wireless terminal / time division multiplexed frame between wireless terminals is set. , Other wireless terminals
By differentiating the frequency at the same point of time between the wireless terminal communication channel of the wireless terminal time division multiplex frame, it is possible to distinguish each frame, without interference,
At the same time, there is a great effect that communication is possible.

Further, the frequency of the time division multiplex frame between the connection device and the wireless terminal and the frequency of the control channel between the connection device and the wireless terminal and between the wireless terminal and the wireless terminal between the wireless terminal and the wireless terminal By switching between and within a predetermined time, that is, by performing frequency hopping, which is one method of spread spectrum, there is a great effect that the interference removal capability is enhanced and the confidentiality is improved.

Further, the frequency of the time division multiplex frame between the connecting device and the wireless terminal, and the frequency of the control channel between the connecting device and the wireless terminal and between the wireless terminal and the wireless terminal between the wireless terminal and the wireless terminal By switching between and for each frame period, that is, by performing frequency hopping, which is one method of spread spectrum, the interference removal capability is enhanced, the confidentiality is improved, and frequency hopping is performed for each frame. Thus, the transmission / reception timing of each frame and the timing of frequency hopping are integrated, the circuit / control is simplified, and there is a great advantage in terms of cost.

Then, there is a great effect that the exchange of calls between the wireless terminal and the public line without congestion can be realized at a low cost by reducing the number of required connection devices without being influenced by the number of accommodated wireless terminals. .

When the public line and the wireless terminal communicate with each other, a call wireless communication path is preferentially established between the wireless terminal and the connection device, and a call switching connection is established between the connection device and the public line. By doing so, there is a great effect that the serviceability to the public line, which is generally more important than the extension line, is excellent.

By permitting exchange connection between wireless terminals via the connection device, even if the wireless terminals exist in a distance where they cannot directly communicate with each other, the communication between the wireless terminals can be performed via the connection devices in different areas. There is an effect that.

The present invention may be applied to a system composed of a plurality of devices or an apparatus composed of a single device.

Further, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to the case where it is achieved by supplying the program stored in the storage medium to the system or the apparatus.
