Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment, embodiments of the present invention are described further.
Embodiments of the invention one are cast out cell reselection process and are rebuild the link process during for the switching between different groups of the user terminal that is in the group of received state, directly reconfigure the process that channel switches group fast.In the group of received state, network side does not distribute the dedicated channel that is connected with network side for user terminal, user terminal receives group allocation in unresponsive mode and gives the voice broadcast service channel of sub-district or the message of voice group call service channels downlink, user terminal is selected in real time and is resided on the strongest sub-district of signal strength signal intensity by the sub-district gravity treatment corresponding to the state of hearer among VGCS or the VBS at this moment.Under this state, user terminal can be at FACCH (Fast Associated Control Channel, Fast Associated Control Channel) channel receives the notification message of group, detect emerging group and preserve its wireless channel parameter, but with different from the notification message of the group that the NCH channel receives under the IDLE state, user terminal is not only by judging from the notification message of FACCH channel whether the group that has existed disappears.
Switching to target group B with user terminal from the current A of group is example, and the method for the switching group among the embodiment one may further comprise the steps as shown in Figure 2:
When step s201, user terminal are in the accepting state of the A of group, receive the request of switching to the B of group.
In this step, the prerequisite that switches to the request of the B of group is, the wireless channel parameter that has listened to the existence of the B of group and stored the B of group during the IDLE state of user terminal before connecting or switching to the A of group.
Step s202, user terminal configuration bottom are the wireless channel parameter of the B of group.
In this step, because different groups has different wireless channel parameters, so the information of the target group B that the user terminal basis has been stored, the configuration bottom is the wireless channel parameter of this target group B, and the bottom here is meant data link layer and physical layer.The foundation of configuration is a user terminal at before IDLE state or current group of received state (group receive) the state group information table of acquisition down.And the wireless channel parameter comprises: Traffic Channel pattern, timeslot number, absolute frequency point number (non-frequency-hopping mode), frequency hop sequences (frequency-hopping mode), training sequence etc. are described the necessary parameter of radio traffic channel.
Step s203, user terminal finish switching to the B of group by the parameter of configuration, answer the communication of the B of group.
This is set up process and relates to gsm protocol 44.008 3.4.15, does not need to send any message to the base station, and user terminal is similarly local links (local link) with linking of the B of group.
The problem that may run in this step is, though user terminal before being connected to the A of group the IDLE state or current group of received state in detected the existence of the B of group, even but the B of group is because certain reason disappears afterwards, be in user terminal among the A of group because of the notification message of the group that can't receive the NCH channel always, therefore can't detect the B of group and not exist, can cause user terminal to configure the bottom parameter and switch to the B of group that has disappeared.In this case, the direct configuration parameter of user terminal also switches to the B of group, can switch to momently in the non-existent group, answers less than any information this moment.Behind the process inefficacy monitoring time of systemic presupposition, user terminal can detect Radio Link and lose efficacy, and gets back to the IDLE state automatically, can continue this moment to select to switch to other groups.
Compared with prior art, do not relate in the above-mentioned flow process at first disconnect with current group link, enter then the cell reselection process under the IDLE state, but this can't impact the switching of normal group.This is because for the VGCS/VBS business, the user terminal most of the time is the hearer down, promptly be in group of received (group receive) state, because the user terminal that 0408 li regulation of gsm protocol is under the group of received can carry out the sub-district gravity treatment at any time, so there is no need to do the sub-district gravity treatment when the user withdraws from the group of received state eventually and leaves current group.Can carry out the sub-district gravity treatment because be in the user terminal of group of received state, at any time select optimum sub-district as Serving cell, carry out the sub-district gravity treatment and there is no need to break at group's handoff procedure, do not carry out the sub-district gravity treatment when therefore switching group and do not have any influence.
Be in group transmit status (group transmit) if user terminal is not in the group of received state, then can not directly switch group, and need at first carry out the change of state with reference to flow process described in the embodiment of the invention one.In the group transmit status, network side is that the user terminal of voice group call service has distributed special-purpose channel, and especially, user terminal utilizes the up link of this channel to be used for mass-sending communication.User terminal is selected in real time and is resided on the strongest sub-district of signal strength signal intensity by cell switch process corresponding to the state of speaker among VGCS or the VBS.Under this state, user terminal can be at FACCH (Fast Associated ControlChannel, Fast Associated Control Channel) channel receives the notification message of group, detect emerging group and preserve its wireless channel parameter, but with different from the notification message of the group that the NCH channel receives under the IDLE state, user terminal is not only by judging from the notification message of FACCH channel whether the group that has existed disappears.
In the embodiments of the invention two, the flow process that the user terminal that is in the group transmit status switches group comprises the steps: as shown in Figure 3
When step s301, user terminal are in the group transmit status of the A of group, receive the request of switching to the B of group.
Step s302, user terminal discharge the up link among the A of group, enter the group of received state.
Step s303, user terminal configuration bottom are the wireless channel parameter of the B of group.
Step s304, user terminal finish switching to the B of group by the parameter of configuration, answer the communication of the B of group.
For the terminal that is in the group transmit status, use above-mentioned process by discharging up link, directly switching then to target group, can not impact normal use yet.Though this is can't carry out the sub-district gravity treatment because be in the user terminal of group transmit status, can under the not good situation of current area signal quality, select optimum sub-district as Serving cell at any time by cell switch process.Therefore discharging up link and direct in the process that target group is switched, do not carry out the sub-district gravity treatment and can normally not use yet because of the signal quality problems affect.
By the user terminal group changing method that uses above embodiment one and embodiment two to describe, by when switching, casting out cell reselection process and rebuilding the link process, realized being in the group of received state and switched fast, saved group greatly and switched required time with the group of the user terminal of group transmit status.
Embodiments of the invention three also provide a kind of user terminal that group switches fast that is used for, as shown in Figure 4, comprise handoff request receiving element 10, state judging unit 20, processing unit 30, dispensing unit 40, switch unit 50, receiving element 60 and memory cell 70.
Particularly, handoff request receiving element 10 receives the request of being switched to target group by current group.
State judging unit 20 when handoff request receiving element 10 receives handoff request, judges whether the current up link of user terminal is occupied.When this user terminal was in the group transmit status of current group, up link can be occupied, and for the user terminal of the group of received state of current group, then up link can be not occupied.
Processing unit 30 when the judged result of state judging unit 20 is up link when occupied, discharges up link, promptly enters the group of received state from the group transmit status, switches for ensuing group and prepares.
Dispensing unit 40 is under the d/d situation of up link in the judged result of state judging unit 20, obtains the wireless channel parameter of target group from memory cell 70, and the bottom of user terminal is configured to this parameter of target group.
Switch unit 50 when dispensing unit 40 configures the bottom parameter, is finished direct switching to target group by the parameter of configuration.
The notification message of all groups that receiving element 60 reception network sides issue comprises all information such as the ID of group, the area I D of group, group service type (VGCS/VBS), group's priority, group's wireless channel parameter.
Notification message that the network side that memory cell 70 receives receiving element 60 sends and information such as channel parameter are wherein stored, for the needs of dispensing unit 40 in group's switching.
By the user terminal that uses the foregoing description three to describe, realized the quick switching of user terminal group, saved the time of required wait when user terminal switches in group greatly.
More than disclosed only be several specific embodiment of the present invention, still, the present invention is not limited thereto, any those skilled in the art can think variation all should fall into protection scope of the present invention.
