Description

During sleep pattern, method and the mobile station apparatus of coverage loss operation is effectively performed in BWA
This application claims the rights and interests of the korean patent application No.10-2010-0105885 submitted on October 28th, 2010, this korean patent application is comprised in this by reference, as fully explained at this.
The application also requires the U.S. Provisional Application No.61/302 submitted on February 8th, 2010, and the rights and interests of 478, its content is contained entirely in this by reference.
Technical field
The present invention relates to BWA, and relate more specifically to a kind of for detecting the method for coverage loss and the equipment for performing the method during the sleep pattern of mobile radio station.
Background technology
It is important for making the mobile radio station of the power supply in order to mobility with the battery depended on reduce power consumption.In this respect, the various methods for reducing power consumption have been proposed.One of the method is sleep pattern.
Sleep pattern to refer to stop with base station not used for the operation of the mobile radio station of the flow transmitted and received to reduce power consumption.
If the mobile radio station carrying out communicating in normal mode or activity pattern with base station no longer has the flow for transmitting and receiving with base station, then it is to Base Transmitter Sleep Request (MOB_SLP-REQ or AAI_SLP-REQ) message, to enter a sleep mode.Sleep response (MOB_SLP-RSP or AAI_SLP-RSP) is launched to mobile radio station in the base station having received sleep response message, wherein, sleep response message comprises the parameter relevant to the sleep pattern of mobile radio station, such as initial sleep cycle and audit window (LW).
The mobile radio station having received sleep response message enters sleep pattern by using the parameter relevant to sleep pattern.
Mobile radio station alternately repeats sleep interval and listening intervals.Mobile radio station can receive data at listening intervals to Base Transmitter data with from base station.Because mobile radio station can not receive data to Base Transmitter data with from base station, so be buffered in the data of sleep interval to Base Transmitter at sleep interval.
With reference to Fig. 1, above-mentioned sleep mode operation is described in more detail.
Fig. 1 is the figure of the example of the sleep mode operation process of the mobile radio station be shown in common IEEE 802.16 system.
See Fig. 1, when mobile radio station is changed from normal mode to sleep pattern, its first sleep cycle only comprises sleeping window.Second sleep cycle of mobile radio station comprises sleeping window and audit window to each of last sleep cycle.First sleep cycle has the length of the initial sleep cycle comprised in sleep response message.
Mobile radio station receives flow instruction (TRF-IND) message at audit window from base station, and wherein, traffic indication message indicates whether there is the flow for the transmitting to mobile radio station in a base station.If traffic indication message comprises negative instruction, then it means in a base station not used for the flow of the transmitting to mobile radio station.If traffic indication message comprises the instruction of affirmative, then it means the flow had in a base station for the transmitting to mobile radio station.
In FIG, if receive the traffic indication message comprising negative instruction at the audit window of the second sleep cycle, then mobile radio station determines whether the flow not used for the transmitting to down link, and twice sleep cycle being increased to previous sleep cycle is large.
If mobile radio station receives traffic indication message, then it increases sleep cycle according to following equation 1.
[equation 1]
Current sleep cycle=min (the previous sleep cycle of 2*, last sleep cycle)
See equation 1, the twice that current sleep cycle is set to previous sleep cycle by mobile radio station and the smaller value of last sleep cycle comprised in sleep response message.In other words, sleep cycle can not be set to be greater than last sleep cycle by mobile radio station.This is to prevent sleep cycle from increasing constantly.
If mobile radio station receives the traffic indication message comprising instruction certainly at the audit window of the 3rd sleep cycle, then sleep cycle is reset to initial sleep cycle by it.
Thereafter, mobile radio station can receive flow being included in the audit window in MOB_SLP-RSP message to Base Transmitter flow with from base station.Now, if mobile radio station fail be included in the audit window in sleep response message terminate to base station flow launch and receives from the flow of base station, then it by expansion audit window and continue to Base Transmitter flow and from base station reception flow.If receive last PDU indicating device or audit window end mark to Base Transmitter flow with from the mobile radio station of base station reception flow from base station at the audit window of expansion, then its stops the expansion of audit window, and enters sleeping window.
In IEEE 802.16m system, respectively MOB_SLP-REQ/RSP message can be replaced with AAI_SLP-REQ/RSP message.And mobile radio station is assigned with by AAI_SLP-REQ/RSP message the sleep cycle identifier (SCID) being suitable for its flow attribution when entering in sleep pattern.SCID is the identifier of the mobile radio station of sleep pattern, and is mapped to the parameter (initial sleep cycle, audit window length, TIMF mark, LWEF mark, last sleep cycle, NSCF, T_AMS timer etc.) used after mobile radio station enters sleep pattern.And mobile radio station and base station can perform SCID conversion in sleep pattern by considering the flow attribution of mobile radio station or change the parameter value being mapped to SCID.
Meanwhile, can for the specific time period not from mobile radio station transmit uplink data, or can not to the feedback of Base Transmitter down link data (ACK or NACK).Now, base station can retain timer by triggers resource, and the link information at storing mobile station (context (context)) promotes that the network of mobile radio station reenters.Impliedly provide the method in a general mobile communication system.Because base station determines that mobile radio station has lost the timing of the network coverage and basis is not determined, so base station is by the link information at unnecessarily storing mobile station.
In this respect, in common IEEE 802.16m system, if the service of mobile radio station loss of service base station covers, then may produced problem and limit context and retain (the deregistration with contextretention:DCR) pattern of cancellation and coverage loss pattern because cause due to asynchronous between serving BS and mobile radio station.
But, because the mobile radio station operated in sleep pattern only performs the transmitting and receiving of normal data at audit window, if so do not limit the operating process and coverage loss generation of determining coverage loss, how to perform the operating process that network reenters.

Coverage loss
First, definition can be applied to " coverage loss (coverageloss) " of embodiments of the invention.
Coverage loss refers to the temporary transient dropout occurred because of the decay produced when mobile radio station moves to the region of the coverage (that is, covering) of losing base station.
Next, by definition of activities base timer (active_ABS_timer).
Active base station timer refer to by base station be in mobile radio station each keep timer.Active base station timer can be started when completing when initial network enters based on registration request/response (AAI_REG-REQ/AAI_REG-RSP) completing of message between a mobile station and a base station.Alternatively, complete when network reenters can start active base station timer when processing optimization based on the switching comprised at ranging response message (HO).When base station receives data from mobile radio station, the active base station that can reset timer.Now, the example of data comprises media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU (MPDU)) and feedback information.
And, if the base station of correspondence did not switch (HO) completion notice message by backbone network from network reception before the Preset Time when the mobile radio station using the base station of this correspondence as serving BS performs the switching to another target BS, then can start active base station timer.Now, this Preset Time is preferably started the time of deadline date (Ranging_Initiation_Deadline) information instruction by range finding.
Next, resource will be defined and retain timer.
If active base station timer (Active_ABS_timer) expires for specific mobile radio station, then base station performs the prior defined procedure of the coverage loss for determining corresponding mobile radio station.This process will be called as " coverage loss detection ".The process of coverage loss detection will be described in detail after a while.Even if if also not from the response of mobile radio station after the process of coverage loss detection, then base station can start resource reservation timer.If resource retains timer expiration, then base station can discharge the context of corresponding mobile radio station.
Also by definition of activities mobile radio station timer (Active_AMS_Timer).
In the mode that the active base station timer with above-mentioned is identical, active mobiles timer can be started when completing when initial network enters based on registration request/response (AAI_REG-REQ/AAI_REG-RSP) completing of message between a mobile station and a base station.Alternatively, complete when network reenters can start active mobiles timer when processing optimization based on the switching comprised at ranging response message (HO).Mobile radio station can identify the time (that is, until active mobiles timer expiration) retaining it in a network and connect upper and lower Wonder maintenance active mobiles timer.
Next, by defining context reserved identifier (CRID).
CRID can be distributed from base station to mobile radio station by registration response (AAI_REG-RSP) message.CRID is the identifier that may be used for identifying from network (specifically, retaining entity (such as, authenticator ASN-GW) or the base station of the link information (context) of corresponding mobile radio station) corresponding mobile radio station.And CRID may be used for being identified in and retains relative to context the mobile radio station operated in (DCR) pattern of cancellation.This CRID can be assigned to mobile radio station by registration reply message, or can by reentering ranging response (AAI_RNG-RSP) message of period at network or entering cancellation response (AAI_DREG-RSP) message of period in DCR pattern and be updated.
Below, describe for the method by using above-mentioned timer to detect the coverage loss of mobile radio station and base station with reference to Fig. 2.
Fig. 2 is that diagram can be applied to embodiments of the invention, figure for the example of the method for the coverage loss of base stations detected.
See Fig. 2, first, according to completing of entering of initial network or network reenters completes, while mobile radio station starts active mobiles timer (S201), the active base station timer of the base station initiated mobile radio station for correspondence.
Now, can be entered by the initial network that completed of registration request/response (AAI_REG-REQ/AAI_REG-RSP) message between a mobile station and a base station, further, can depend on that the switching (HO) comprised at ranging response message processes optimization and reenters to complete network.When initial network enters, context reserved identifier (CRID) can be distributed by registration response (AAI_REG-RSP) message to mobile radio station.When network reenters, new CRID can be distributed by ranging response (AAI_RNG-RSP) message to mobile radio station.
Now, if active base station timer is expired for the mobile radio station of correspondence, then base station assigns up link (UL) permits that pulse train (S202) is to identify the state of corresponding mobile radio station.
Mobile radio station passes through distributed UL license to Base Transmitter MPDU or the bandwidth request header (BR header) with bandwidth on demand size 0.If base station receives MPDU or BR header, then can reset active base station timer.
But, by the continuous UL of predetermined quantity, base station can not by permitting that the uplink resource that (coverage loss detects UL and permits) indicates receives data (comprising the MAC PDU of data or BR header) (S203, S204) from mobile radio station.
In this case, uncalled ranging response (AAI_RNG-RSP) message is launched to mobile radio station in base station, makes mobile radio station carry out execution cycle range finding based on cycle ranging code.For this reason, the distance measurement request bit of ranging response message is set to ' 1 ' (S205) by base station.
Now, base station can start instruction for receiving the timer (such as, retry timer or T58 timer) of the stand-by period of the message for checking of finding range.
Mobile radio station according to the distance measurement request of base station to Base Transmitter cycle ranging code (S206).
Base station in response is launched range finding and is confirmed ((AAI_RNG-ACK) message (S207) in ranging code to mobile radio station.Now, acknowledge message of finding range can comprise the information (distance measuring states) being used to indicate ranging success or failure and the ranging code launched from mobile radio station.
Mobile radio station verifies (AAI_RNG-CFM) message (S208) in response to range finding acknowledge message to Base Transmitter range finding.Now, mobile radio station can comprise its station ID (STID) in range finding checking message.
If base station receives the range finding acknowledge message of launching from mobile radio station, then it upgrades active base station timer (S209).
If base station fails to receive range finding before T58 timer expiration confirm (AAI_RNG-CFM) message, then it starts resource reservation timer, the dynamic context of the mobile radio station that release is corresponding, and static context is moved to the contextual network entity at storing mobile station.
Meanwhile, if, downlink synchronization synchronous with physics (PHY) layer of base station or uplink synchronisation failure, then mobile radio station can be defined as coverage loss state.Such as, if mobile radio station fails to receive the super frame header (SFH) be equal to preset times (NLOST-SFH) continuously from base station, then fault can be defined as the coverage loss of self-corresponding base station by it.
First embodiment
One embodiment of the present of invention propose and whether have successfully received super frame header (that is, mobile radio station and base station synchronization) from base station determine coverage loss by being identified in the mobile radio station operated in sleep pattern.
Below, by describe according to this embodiment be used for receive the method for super frame header and be used for determining the method for coverage loss.
Mobile radio station upgrades super frame header (SFH) periodically in sleep pattern.In other words, if mobile radio station is identified by P-SFH IE have updated SFH, then it was revived from the time (such as, just upgrading the time of corresponding S-SFHSP IE before sleeping window terminates) of launching the S-SFH SP IE upgraded, and upgraded SFH.But the mobile radio station operated in sleep pattern can revive to detect SFH, but may fail to receive SFH (audit window such as, arranged with frame unit may not or mobile radio station overlapping with SFH transmitting site may not with base station synchronization).In this case, the mobile radio station of sleep pattern can revive to detect SFH from sleeping window.
Specifically, fail to receive SFH if this embodiment proposes mobile radio station, then mobile radio station continues to keep wake states (even if that is, also reviving at sleeping window) successfully to receive SFH, and has nothing to do with sleep cycle.Thereafter, if mobile radio station receives SFH (that is, mobile radio station and base station synchronization), then it can operate according to sleep cycle.On the other hand, if mobile radio station fails to receive SFH continuously reach pre-determined number (that is, NLOST-SFH), then it can be defined as coverage loss state.In this case, mobile radio station can perform coverage loss recovery process.Coverage loss recovery process will be described below.
With reference to Fig. 3 to Fig. 5, the method for operating sleep pattern according to this embodiment is described.
Fig. 3 is the figure that diagram is according to an embodiment of the invention, the mobile radio station of sleep pattern successfully receives super frame header at sleeping window, and Fig. 4 is the figure that diagram is according to an embodiment of the invention, the mobile radio station of sleep pattern fails to receive super frame header at sleeping window.And Fig. 5 is the figure of the example illustrating coverage loss recovery process according to an embodiment of the invention.
First, with reference to figure 3, because the framing bit that SFH is launched into is before audit window starts, even if so the mobile radio station operated in sleep pattern also revives to receive SFH before sleeping window terminates.But if mobile radio station receives SFH with failing, it continues to wake until next SFH launches timing and has nothing to do with audit window, then operates according to sleep cycle and if it receives SFH.In figure 3, because the time when receiving SFH is sleeping window, then mobile radio station operates in sleep pattern.
