Fig. 1 shows current single antenna bimodulus cellular devices 100 by the block diagram of packet data radio link 109 to bimodulus travelling carriage 101 notice incoming call or other circuit switching event.Framework 100 comprises travelling carriage 101, travelling carriage 101 has circuit switching modulator-demodulator 102 and packet data modem 104, circuit switching modulator-demodulator 102 is used for the treatment of circuit-switched cellular, and packet data modem 104 is for the treatment of packet data application.Modulator- demodulator 102 and 104 is baseband modems, and shares an antenna 103, in order to carry out the signal transmission by packet data radio link 109 or circuit switching Radio Link 106.Thereby travelling carriage 101 is coupled by circuit switching Radio Link 106 and circuit-switched base station 107, and is coupled by packet data radio link 109 and grouped data base station 110.
Circuit-switched base station 107 is coupled with wireless switching center 114.Wireless switching center 114 is coupled with Network Node Interface 112.Network Node Interface 112 is coupled with grouping management unit PME116 by packet data link 115.114 pairs of wireless switching centers from or the calling and the event that mail to public phone exchanges network (public switched telephone network, PSTN) carry out route.Grouping management unit 116 is coupled with packet data exchanged center 118,118 pairs, packet data exchanged center from or mail to such as data and the event of the packet network of the Internet and carry out route.
In operation, the Circuit-switched calling on public phone exchanges network and event are routed to circuit-switched base station 107 by wireless switching center 114.All are all processed by the circuit switching modulator-demodulator 102 in travelling carriage 101 with control and business that the calling that occurs on circuit switching Radio Link 106 and other event are associated.Similarly, on the internet grouped data and event is routed to specific packet data mobile entity 116 with current grouping base station 110 interfaces of distributing to travelling carriage 101 by packet data exchanged center 118.All that are associated with grouped data or other event are controlled and business all occurs on packet data radio link 109, and are received by antenna 103, and are processed by the packet data modem 104 in travelling carriage 101.
The present invention be more particularly directed to the situation with current bimodulus structurally associated connection, example is exactly can be by such as the calling of the cdma wireless link 106 treatment circuits exchanges in code division multiple access (CDMA) 20001xRTT framework and other event and by process the single antenna bimodulus travelling carriage 101 of grouped datas and other event such as the packet data radio link 109 in general continental rise wireless access network (EUTRAN) framework of evolution.The EUTRAN framework is commonly referred to Long Term Evolution (LTE) framework, and also uses in this article this literary style.As those skilled in the art are accessible, CDMA20001xRTT circuit switching framework, perhaps " 1x " framework, well known in the art, for the treatment of circuit-switched call, as audio call, and the LTE framework worldwide is known as the metropolitan center that mainly is deployed in now, as replenishing of the block data communication ability of the EV-DO packet data network of current deployment.In addition, those skilled in the art will know that LTE is the network of being absorbed in grouped data.That is, LTE does not support such as the circuit-switched channel that is used for providing the legacy cellular voice calling.LTE does not provide the support of calling out being called the networking telephone (VoIP), but one skilled in the art will appreciate that the defective that is associated with current voip technology makes the possibility of the conventional VoIP of use in travelling carriage 101 very little.
The present invention can use example and the term in 1x and LTE application, because these two kinds of terms are all extensively approved and use.Yet, the present inventor notices that scope of the present invention is not limited to 1x and LTE, comprise such single antenna bimodulus cellular devices but expand to, namely use in Radio Link 109 one be used for that notice travelling carriage 101 is associated with circuit-switched link 106 have the sequential that is equal to circuit-switched application and incoming call audio call or other event of quality of service characteristics and requirement.
In concrete 1x and LTE term, travelling carriage 101 refers to subscriber equipment (user equipment, UE) 101.Grouping management unit 116 refers to mobile management unit (Mobility Management Entity, MME) 116, is the main access node of LTE network.Mobile management unit 116 interfaces are to a plurality of grouped datas base stations 110, and grouped data base station 110 is also referred to as enode b (eNB) 110.Network Node Interface 112 is S102 interfaces 112, perhaps normally intercommunication solution (IWS) 112.Intercommunication solution (IWS) 112 is responsible for carrying out alternately such as circuit-switched network and the LTE network of 1x by tunnel (tunneling) mechanism.Packet data radio link 109 is called LTE-Uu interface 109.Therefore, when grouped data sends to travelling carriage 101 by packet data network, for the purposes of the present invention, the circuit switching element 102,107,112 shown in framework 100 is idle condition, and antenna 103 is used for communicating by packet data link 109.Grouped data be by packet data exchanged center 118 be routed to the Internet or from interconnection path by out, through packet data mobile entity 116, process grouped data base station 110, and the grouped data that arrives on packet data radio link 109 in travelling carriage 101 is adjusted demodulator 104 or sends out from grouped data adjustment demodulator 104.
But, move the circuit switching event of platform 101 when target bit, for example call out, when coming in switched wireless center line 114, must must stop as early as possible processing grouped data by packet data radio link notice travelling carriage 101, and fall back to circuit switching Radio Link 106, in order to continue next step, namely accept this calling.Yet because circuit switched protocol and packet data protocol are not reciprocity, the designer is devoted to provide technology and the scheme that allows this notice to occur.A kind of this class technology of using in the 1x/LTE environment is the tunnel of setting up mentioned above, circuit switched data (TCSDATA) 121 by the tunnel provides notice, confirms and negotiates with the circuit switching parameter that calling is accepted to be associated, and fall back to circuit switching Radio Link 106 and be encapsulated in the lower layer data grouping 120 that sends on packet data network and transmit as data division, these links comprise link 115,119,109.In addition, Circuit-switched notification data 121 usage data groupings 120 are as path, by the Circuit-switched parameter of this tunnel sending/receiving.
Tunnel protocol is defined in E-UTRAN – cdma20001x Connectivity and Interworking Air Interface Specification, Version2.0, April2011, C.S0097-0, published by the 3
rdGeneration Partnership Project2 (3GPP2) (be after this " the ' 0097Specification); this agreement has been introduced the circuit switching fall-back of single antenna travelling carriage machine-processed to 1x, is found in Circuit Switched (CS) Fallback in Evolved Packet System (EPS); Stage2, Version10.2.1,2013-01-04, TS23.272published by3GPP2 (be after this " the ' 272Specification)
Internet interface 112 is rear end equipment elements that specific purpose is installed, and it realizes the interface between wireless switching center 114 and packet data mobile entity 116, and the great majority of being responsible for being associated with the tunnel of setting up circuit switched data 121 are processed.Path grouping 120 is by mobile entity 116 and base station 110 route on link 115,119,109, but the only processing of 101,112 places requirement data 121 in the rear end.With reference to current circuit-switched network such as 1xRTT, existing in a large number must be by the configuration information of back-end processing to guarantee service quality of circuit switching event.In 1x, the protocol layer of processing these information is link access control (LAC) layer.Packet data modem 104 and grouped data base station 110 also comprise LAC treatment element (not shown), in order to support the layer border communication by packet data network.Yet, for the notice of circuit-switched call and other event is provided by packet data network, all need LAC (TLAC) the layer treatment element in tunnel in internet interface 112 and packet data modem 104.Therefore, packet data modem 104 comprises TLAC processor 105, and internet interface 112 comprises TLAC processor 113.These processors 105,113 hereinafter will be described, processor 105,113 is carried out respectively the LAC layer that requires in packet data modem 104 and internet interface 112 and is processed, in order to the notice of circuit-switched call and other event is provided by packet data network.Certainly, because the basic goal of internet interface 112 is that circuit-switched network is connected to packet data network, so it must process LAC layer information subsequently.In fact, the sole purpose of internet interface 112 is that the path of circuit switched data is provided by packet data network.
Those skilled in the art will find, the hardware and software that is associated with path information about the circuit-switched call on packet data network and event is limited and is trouble.Require special equipment, for example, internet interface 112 by the grouped data path, Circuit-Switched Data link arrive travelling carriage 101, and therefore, the present inventor is observed the reliability that these equipment have increased power consumption and reduced communication system integral body.
In existing communication construction, commonly two kinds of 1x and LTE hybrid solution.The first is exactly simultaneous voice LTE(Simultaneous Voice and LTE Long Term Evolution, SV-LTE), this is a kind of protocol and standard that can make mobile phone use simultaneously the voice-and-data business.Particularly, when speech network is CDMA20001xRTT, data network is LTE(4G) network.In the subscriber equipment of simultaneous voice LTE, two cover transmitter and receivers are equipped with, that is to say, two cover transmitters and receiver independently are arranged in a user terminal.The user can be connected to LTE network and CDMA20001x network simultaneously.Owing to being two cover receive-transmit systems, the those of ordinary skill in this field is appreciated that two cover baseband processor to be arranged corresponding to two cover receive-transmit systems.In this solution, the LTE network provides data service, and 1x provides speech business, only needs user terminal to carry out adaptive Revision and supplement.For LTE network and 1x network, this scheme without any need for modification and the increase of any element, no matter be on equipment or the agreement aspect.Therefore therefore, do not need network support not need excuse between 1x and LTE yet.But the shortcoming of this scheme is to need two to overlap independently receive-transmit system, has therefore caused cost and the power will be far away higher than common user terminal.
Another kind of solution is circuit switching fall-back (CSFB, Circuit Switch Fall Back), perhaps evolved circuit switching fall-back.In this solution, only need cover transmitter and a receiver, also referred to as single antenna or single antenna.LTE compares with voice synchronous, and this scheme needs the network interface support, for example the S-102 interface.LTE only provides data, services, when the user initiates or receives the calling of 1x network, sends a notice by the s-102 interface to subscriber equipment, makes subscriber equipment switch back to circuit commutative field and processes this calling.This scheme needs the support of network terminal and the network interface between 1x and LTE.No matter shortcoming is to switch back the LTE network after answering call or end of calling, the reaction speed of subscriber equipment is lower.
The present invention is by providing the transmission and reception circuit switching technology to overcome above-mentioned and other problem in the bimodulus single antenna mobile terminal.This technology of full implementation in travelling carriage, thus demand to internet interface 112 alleviated.The below describes the present invention with reference to Fig. 2-5.

In one embodiment of the invention, single antenna is different from the single antenna in circuit switching fall-back mentioned above.Herein, single antenna comprises a transmitter and two receivers.A transmitter is shared by LTE network and 1x network, and two receivers are distributed to respectively LTE network and 1x network, makes user terminal to receive the business service while of LTE at the beep-page message of the second radio frequency unit reception CDMA20001x at the first radio frequency unit.Certainly some the time, two receivers can all be distributed to LTE network or 1x network, this depends on user's setting.In some cases, when two receivers were all distributed to the LTE network, the beep-page message of 1x network may be missed or abandon.
In the double reception pattern, can two receivers while bearer data transmission business, because data transmission service needs two links of uplink and downlink, not too can use at the wireless terminal of single reflector hardly.Yet, a receiver capture-data, it is very general that another reception area is monitored this way of beep-page message.The person skilled in art is appreciated that, the priority of monitoring the message of 1x control channel will be higher than the data of LTE network.Because often audio call is more important than business service, be acceptable so the transmission performance of part LTE beep-page message is degenerated.
