JPH08237720A - Method for restricting selection of radio zone by mobile equipment - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To suppress the operation to a restricted zone base station by excluding zone information representing restriction of a specific call from information sent to a mobile station when a radio zone is selected. CONSTITUTION: Suppose that a communication of a zone B is restricted and a call from an exchange 1 to a mobile set 10 via a base station 4 of the zone B, then a channel number sent by the base station 4 is excluded from a channel list generated on station data. The mobile equipment 10 receives it from the exchange 1 and a reception level sent from base stations 4, 5-7 of zones A, C-D designated by the list is measured. Then a speech channel is switched to a zone where each level difference between a concerned zone A and the other zones C-E is more than a required reception level is selected. In a conventional method, the zone B is accessed when the level difference from the zone B under the restriction is higher than a required level, but in this method, since the zone B under the restriction is excluded from the channel list, the zone is restricted without the operation in the zone B.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a control method in a mobile communication system, and more particularly to a control method for preventing a mobile station from selecting a specific wireless zone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a method of restricting transmission from a specific zone in a mobile communication system, for example, a zone in which communication is restricted, involves transmitting a transmission restriction signal from an exchange to a base station in the zone, and controlling a mobile station. Some devices restrict transmission from a device (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 4-351223).

[0003]

In the above-mentioned regulation method,
No consideration is given to channel switching during a call to a restricted zone, and there is a problem that a mobile station accesses a restricted zone due to wireless channel switching across zones.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a radio zone selection control by a mobile station, which can prevent any access from a mobile station to such a specific zone without the operation of a base station in a zone where a call is restricted. Is to provide a way.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A method for restricting selection of a wireless zone by a mobile station according to the present invention excludes information on a specific wireless zone from information sent to the mobile station regarding selection of a wireless zone.

[0006] The selection of the radio zone may be a selection made at the time of switching the radio channel during a call, which is performed mainly by the mobile device.

Further, information on a specific wireless zone is transmitted from a base station of the wireless zone, and the reception status of the mobile station is compared with a wireless channel transmitted from a base station of a wireless zone adjacent to the wireless zone. It may be the number of the wireless channel used.

[0008]

When a mobile station selects a wireless zone to be accessed or a base station thereof, a wireless zone performed by the mobile station, such as a list of wireless channels used to compare the reception status of radio waves transmitted from base stations in nearby wireless zones. From the information sent to the mobile device with respect to the selection of the mobile station, information about a specific wireless zone is removed.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a mobile communication system to which the wireless zone selection regulation method of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a flow chart of channel list creation processing performed by an exchange in the mobile communication system of FIG. 3 is the zone A from the exchange after call channel synchronization is established during call setup.
FIG. 4 is an example of reception level information indicating the reception level of each peripheral zone measured by the mobile station in zone A.

In the mobile communication system shown in FIG. 1, five radio zones A, B ... E are shown, and the base stations 3, 3 in each zone are shown.
4 ... 7 are connected to the exchange 1, and station data 2 is connected to the exchange 1. The situation where the mobile device 10 is located in the zone A and near the zone B is shown.
Now Zone B is under call control, and from Exchange 1 Zone B
The transmission to the mobile device 10 via the base station 4 is stopped. In FIG. 2, a call setting request for switching a channel during a call to a nearby zone is made by a control channel from the mobile station 10 in the zone A, which is in a call, to the base station 3 in the zone A (step 1 ), When the communication channel is set from the mobile device 10 to the exchange 1 (step 2), the exchange 1 sequentially checks from the regulation information of the station data 2 whether or not the peripheral zones B to E are under regulation (step 2). 3-6), and create a channel list (step 7).
The mobile station 10 originally includes the channel A in the channel list.
(Local zone) and each of the base stations 3 to 7 in the surrounding zones B to E
Should include the number of the wireless channel to be compared with the reception status of the radio wave from the mobile station. Are removed (parenthesized in FIG. 3). The exchange 1 sends the channel list of FIG. 3 to the mobile station 10 via the base station 3.

The mobile station 10 that has received the channel list from the exchange 1 receives the radio waves of the base station 3 in its own zone (zone A) and the base stations 5, 6, and 7 in the zones C, D, and E specified in the channel list. Measurement of the reception levels of the radio channels 2, 3 and 4 generated by the base station 3 is started. Check if it is better.

Now, when the measurement result as shown in FIG. 4 is obtained and the reception level of the own zone A is 20 dB, the reception level of the channel number 2 (zone C) is 40 dB.
Since the difference between B and the reception level of the own zone (zone A) of 20 dB has reached 20 dB, the communication channel is switched to zone C.

Conventionally, the zone B under regulation is sent to the mobile station without being removed from the channel list. For example, if the reception level of zone B is 50 dB, the zone B under regulation is switched to the zone B under regulation by switching the communication channel. You will have access.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, when a mobile station selects a wireless zone or a base station to be accessed, a selection of a wireless channel list to be compared with the reception status of radio waves in a nearby wireless zone is provided. By excluding information about a specific zone, such as a wireless zone where call control is restricted, from information notified to the mobile station with respect to the mobile station, any access to the specific zone, including channel switching from a mobile device during a call, can be performed. There is an effect that the regulation can be performed without involving the operation of the base station in the specific zone.
