Abstract

A selective messaging procedure efficiently distributes messages only to eligible cells and eliminates distribution of unnecessary messaging information to ineligible cells in a mobile communications network. When information is received in the network that is intended for a mobile station located in an area containing one or more cells, the admission status associated with each of the cells in that area is determined. A message is then sent to one or more of the plural cells whose associated admission status is determined to be favorable. On the other hand, that message is not sent to any cell having an unfavorable admission status. In order to keep track of cell admission status, a list data structure is established in memory for each area and may include, for example, an admission indicator for each listed cell. Based on one or more admission criteria, an appropriate value may be stored for each admission indicator in the list. When a message for the mobile station is detected, and the area in which that mobile station is currently registered is determined, a decision is made whether to send that message to one or more cells in the area depending on the admission indicator value for the one or more cells in that area. An alternative cell list structure adds a cell to the list if the condition is met, and removes a cell from the list if the condition is not met. The admission status of each cell is regularly monitored and updated.

Description

Select in the mobile communication system and the transmission of effective message
Technical field
The present invention relates to radio communication, and more specifically relate in mobile wireless network, selectively and effectively pass on the method and apparatus of control information.
Background technology
In typical mobile radio communications system, the geographic area is divided into the sub-district of being served by the base station that is connected to wireless network.Each user (mobile subscriber) in the mobile radio system has a portable radio machine that is called mobile radio station, and it is by one or more wireless base stations communicate by letter with the cellular radio information of one or more types, for example speech, data, image etc.Each base station comprises many Channel Elementss that contain transmitter, receiver and controller and can be equipped with the omnidirectional antenna that is used in a sizable sub-district to all direction equivalent emissions, perhaps be equipped with some directional antennas, each directional antenna is served a specific sector.Each mobile radio station also comprises transmitter, receiver, controller and user interface and is discerned by the particular mobile station identifier.The mobile subscriber is by the typically identification of one other identification symbol, and for example international moving preengage number (IMSI).
The approach that the sustainable growth of mobile radio system impels people to seek to raise the efficiency.The control messages signaling of various sub-districts the zone that can be enhanced efficient relates to from the wireless network control node to network.For example, many beep-page messages are provided for mobile communications network and must be communicated to mobile radio station by the beep-page message of launching from such sub-district final (if if possible).
Mobile communications network typically is divided into paging domain, and each paging domain typically comprises many sub-districts.Beep-page message is launched into all paging domains in the network service area.Each mobile radio station by the registration joining procedure periodically or go its current location of informing network when it passes the paging domain border.Known when the paging of mobile stations zone, be used for all base stations that this paging of mobile stations message is sent to that specific paging domain.In those base stations each with each sub-district that this base station is associated in launch beep-page message successively.If paging is not moved the station and answers, then repeated paging process in identical paging domain or in a bigger zone.
Like this, when the paging request is received by the wireless network control node, exist with assigned paging message and give sizable signaling consumption that all sub-districts are associated in the paging domain.In some cellular systems, signaling consumption can pass wave point and be delivered between base station and mobile radio station.In case the base station receives the paging request, it in each of its related cell by radio call channels transmit paging information.
The quantity of the control signaling by wave point all is a major issue in any mobile communication system; It is even more important in the mobile communication system of code division multiple access (CDMA) type.The cdma system capacity is finally limited by maximum interference level in the system, comprising interference signal expectation and that do not expect.If there is interference levels, such as, cause by a large amount of mobile radio stations of communicating by letter in the current area the current angle from wireless network in sub-district sees it is " overload ", and therefore can not bear other request of other calling or Radio Resource.So needn't send the sub-district of beep-page message to overload.Even mobile radio station is arranged in that sub-district, because overload in that sub-district, the call request that is associated with paging will not be performed.Therefore, the present invention's problem of endeavouring to solve is the how optimal allocation paging requests when not allowing new call request for Radio Resource of one or more sub-districts in current congestion level paging domain.
Summary of the invention
The present invention addresses this problem with the selection signal procedure, this program effectively only assignment information give qualified sub-district and get rid of and distribute unnecessary information to give underproof sub-district.Qualified here as broad sense, qualified sub-district can be used productively or be responded transmission information and underproof sub-district can not.Be scheduled to mobile radio station when information is received in mobile communications network, it is arranged in the zone that comprises one or more sub-districts, and the License Status that is associated with each sub-district in that zone is determined.Promptly be sent to the one or more of a plurality of sub-districts with the predetermined message that is associated to the information of mobile radio station, it is suitable that the relevant License Status of these sub-districts is confirmed as.On the other hand, information is not sent to the sub-district with inappropriate License Status.
Information can be corresponding to the message of any kind, example, in the non-restrictive example, information relates to for the paging of mobile stations request.Although License Status can determine that in example embodiment, License Status is determined with congested or overload thresholding with any standard.Its congested level is considered to have suitable License Status at congestion threshold or following sub-district.Its congested level sub-district more than congestion threshold is considered to have inappropriate License Status.Beep-page message can only be sent to mobile radio station registration or otherwise be arranged in those sub-districts that its License Status is confirmed as suitable paging domain.In fact, improper if the current License Status of the sub-district of registration therein of mobile radio station is confirmed as, then message is not sent to any sub-district in this zone.
In order to write down the License Status of various sub-districts, in memory, set up one and be used for the list data structure of each paging domain and can comprise the permission indicators that is used for each sub-district.According to one or more approval standards, in tabulation, can store the value of each permission indicators.Detected when a message for mobile radio station, and the zone of the current registration therein of mobile radio station is when being determined, and whether sends message to the one or more sub-districts in this zone according to the permission indicators value decision of one or more sub-districts in the zone.The License Status of each sub-district is regularly monitored and is upgraded in the tabulation.
An interchangeable cell list structure can be used.To each paging domain, the congested level of each sub-district is detected to determine whether it surpasses thresholding.The sub-district is added in its paging domain tabulation if thresholding is not exceeded then.On the other hand, if thresholding is exceeded, that sub-district is then eliminated from tabulation.When for paging of mobile stations message when detected, suitable paging domain is identified, and beep-page message only is sent to those sub-districts that are currently included on that paging domain cell list.The License Status of each sub-district is regularly monitored and cell list is updated.
The present invention is not by sending garbage or reduce the quantity that controls signaling in the wireless network in the message that can not be performed under precondition.This has reduced data processing and signaling consumption in wireless network self scope.It has also reduced by data processing and the signaling of wave point between wireless base station and mobile radio station.In other words, if the mobile radio station that is currently located in the congested sub-district is passed through the wave point paging by relevant base station, mobile radio station will respond to support the calling in response to paging with the request for Radio Resource by wave point naturally.Because the current overload in sub-district, the base station must send another message by wave point immediately and get back to mobile radio station and refuse this request.By not transmitting these inessential signals by wave point, the present invention keeps finite wireless resources to be used for how productive request and has also avoided distributing to the problem of explicit congestion.

As above institute is fast, and UMTS10 can be divided into a plurality of zones, and a plurality of sub-districts are as shown in Figure 4 contained in each zone.Each sub-district is a geographic area, provides wireless coverage by the wireless base station device in base station location.One or more sub-districts can be served in a base station.Special area is shown among Fig. 4, comprises locating area (LA (1)-LA (3)) 32 and UTRAN Registration Area territory (URA (1)-URA (3)) 34 by the cross-hatched indication.When new locating area or the registration zone of mobile radio station immigration, mobile radio station works as prelocalization with it or registration zone is upgraded network.A LA refers to a paging domain that is associated with core network.A URA refers to a paging domain that is associated with UTRAN.LA can use when mobile radio station is powered and be in idle pulley.When mobile radio station set up that grouped data connects but current do not send or when receiving data URA can use.LA and URA only are the non-limiting examples of paging domain.After this, mobile radio station can move freely between the sub-district that belongs to that identical locating area or registration zone and needn't carry out the registration refresh routine.Thus, if information is not sent to the position of mobile radio station and mobile radio station and only is known (rather than in sub-district grade) in groups such as location or registration zone from network, paging information is broadcasted in all sub-districts of this location/registration zone that belongs to the nearest registration zone renewal of mobile radio station.
Note locating area 32 and UTRAN Registration Area territory 34 comprise be connected to more than a base station the sub-district.As mentioned above, when the paging request by from core network when RNC26 sends, RNC typically discerns and be sure of that paged mobile radio station is currently located at, such as the recently location or the registration zone of registration.So the paging request is distributed to all sub-districts in the paging domain.Fig. 4 illustrates and will not bear locating area LA (1) in the overload condition of other call request and two sub-districts among the UTRAN Registration Area territory URA (1).Therefore, inventor of the present invention recognizes if can not distribute other call resources to call out to support those overload another in sub-districts, sends paging information to these sub-districts of overloading of 4 and 5 are insignificant as the sub-district.Paging, mobile radio station attempted responding paging afterwards, and call denial, and all these further cause congested/overload problems.Alternately, only be sent to as shown in Figure 4 those the interior sub-districts of paging domain that are in " normal condition " according to paging request of the present invention.For example, the paging of mobile stations request of registration will only be sent to sub-district 1,2,3 and 6 in LA (1), and send from these sub-districts.
The big volume description of Fig. 5 according to the signal procedure (piece 70) of a selection of first embodiment of the invention.At first, information is received for being positioned at the mobile radio station that is contained in the sub-district in special locating area or the registration zone, although not necessarily, it typically contains more than a sub-district (piece 72).The current License Status that is associated with each sub-district in the zone was determined (piece 74) before or after message pick-up.License Status can be given aspect the ability of a calling at the cell allocation new resources based on the congestion level of as shown in Figure 2 specific cell.Except that new calling, the current existing calling that is supported is also arranged, need other resource to be used for that calling, for example, be used for being connected the wireless bandwidth resource of the video connection that links to each other with existing speech.But License Status can be based on the conditioned disjunction standard of any kind, and it can be in order to the new permission of calling out or the distribution of new resources in the control sub-district.With the information for mobile radio station (or information self) that receives so the message that is associated sends to the current suitable one or more sub-districts (piece 76) that are confirmed as of License Status.Message can be the message of any kind of, includes but not limited to beep-page message, measures related news, permits control messages, broadcast parameter message, short data message or the like.On the contrary, such message does not send to the current inappropriate any sub-district (piece 76) that is confirmed as of License Status.
The present invention is suitable for the message of any kind and any kind that License Status is suitable for any condition, the illustrated embodiments of the invention of back are described, only be illustrative purposes, according to the beep-page message to the sub-district, the License Status of these sub-districts is by current congestion grade decision in these sub-districts.
In example embodiment of the present invention, memory 50 storages among the RNC26 are used for a tabulation of each paging domain of mobile communications network.Certainly, this list structure can be stored in other Control Node of some resemble the base station in the network.A sample list data structure is shown among Fig. 6.Two exemplary tabulation expressions are used for locating area LA (1) and LA (2), and wherein each comprises six sub-districts of numbering (1-6).To each the sub-district entry in the tabulation dependency basis station identifier and a License Status designator can be arranged.For example, if License Status is suitable, a mark is set to " 1 "; Otherwise inappropriate condition is represented as " 0 ".Other meticulousr License Status indication scheme also can be used.As seeing in the sample list, locating area LA (1) comprises four sub-districts (1-4) that are connected to base station BS (1) and is connected to two sub-districts (5-6) of base station BS (2).Five sub-districts (1-5) are included among the URA (1) and four sub-districts (6,1,2 and 3) are included among the URA (2), a sub-district (6) in URA (2) and a little area overlapping in LA (1).Three sub-districts (4,5 and 6) of URA (3) are also included among the location LA (2).Have only sub-district 4 and 5 current overload among the locating area LA (1).The URA entry is optional.
Discuss now according to the example of non-limiting example of the present invention and select page procedure (piece 80), its use is shown in the list structure among Fig. 6.For each locating area is set up a tabulation (piece 82) that comprises sub-district entry and License Status designator.Current base station and UTRAN Registration Area territory (URA) that other optional registry entry indication is associated with each sub-district.Determine the congestion level of each sub-district immediately.Corresponding to one that is determined congestion level suitable License Status designator, for example, a market bit is stored in (piece 84) in the tabulation.Congestion level can be determined by the signal that for example compares and measures and interference ratio or other congestion type parameter.
For a mobile radio station, paging is detected and be routed to RNC (piece 86).RNC treatment circuit 52 is determined the locating area (piece 88) that mobile radio station is currently located at or registers.Therefore treatment circuit incoming memory 50, and especially corresponding to the tabulation of the locating area that is determined with decision with select to have suitable License Status, and answers sub-district (if the words that have) (piece 90) in the locating area of paging receiving information.Corresponding beep-page message is sent to the sub-district (piece 92) of selection.Program continues to detect the congestion level of each sub-district in current each locating area again and is updated in the License Status (piece 94) of corresponding locating area tabulation in the memory 50.Known during in the sub-district grade when mobile radio station location, if this sub-district is not congested, then beep-page message just sends to this sub-district.If small area jam, then beep-page message does not send.
In interchangeable example, the list structure that uses in the memory 50 can only comprise the entry of those sub-districts with suitable License Status simply.In other words, the sub-district with inappropriate License Status is eliminated from tabulation and sub-district with suitable License Status is added or remains in the tabulation.In this, the selection page procedure (piece 100) that is shown among Fig. 8 is discussed now.For each locating area is set up a cell list (piece 102).To each sub-district in the locating area, RNC treatment circuit 52 determines whether congested level exceeds thresholding (piece 104).If thresholding is exceeded, treatment circuit 52 is eliminated that sub-district (piece 106) from tabulation.If thresholding is not exceeded, treatment circuit 52 adds those sub-districts (piece 108) in the tabulation.When being detected (piece 110) for paging of mobile stations by RNC, it determines that mobile radio station is currently located at or the locating area (piece 112) when registering in addition.So treatment circuit 52 checks that corresponding locating area tabulation also only sends beep-page message to those sub-districts (piece 114) that are currently included in that regional cell list in the memory 50.After this, as the program among Fig. 7, the cell list (piece 116) that treatment circuit 52 continues to determine the congestion level in each sub-district and upgrades each locating area.
The invention provides many benefits.At first, because do not send dead message or reduced the quantity of control signaling in the wireless network in the message that under precondition, can not be reacted.This has reduced data processing and signaling consumption in wireless network self scope.It has also reduced by data processing and the signaling of wave point between wireless base station and mobile radio station.For example, if the mobile radio station that is currently located in the congested sub-district is passed through the wave point paging by relevant base station, in response to this paging, mobile radio station will respond to support this calling by the request of wave point with Radio Resource naturally.Because the current overload in sub-district, the base station sends another message by wave point immediately and gets back to mobile radio station and refuse this request.By not transmitting beep-page message from wireless network to congested sub-district in primary importance, the level of interference in that sub-district is reduced or is not increased in the down link direction at least.In addition, because mobile radio station do not respond paging, also be reduced in the interference of uplink direction.And, attempt to find the mobile radio station in the no congested sub-district of paging domain at least.
Although be to describe of the present inventionly according to a specific embodiment, those of skill in the art will be appreciated that, the present invention is not limited to describe here and the specific example embodiment of example.Can use except those given and describe multi-form, embodiment, modification, and many modifications, variation and arrange to realize the present invention on an equal basis.Therefore, the present invention is limited by the scope of appended claims.
