Abstract

In time domain multiplex/time domain multiple access communications between a base station and subscriber unit, the base station sends a timing reference signal. A subscriber unit responds with a data packet (a) sufficiently short to ensure correct reception by the base irrespective of transmission time. The base determines the transmission time taken and instructs the subscriber unit to advance its timings so that longer data packets (b) can be sent so as to be received when expected. The timing adjustment includes both a fixed present component dependent on approximate separation of base station and subscriber unit, and a second component from measurement of the transmission time taken.

Fundamental system:
As shown in fig. 1, this preferred systems is the part of telephone system, and wherein this locality from the switch to user has line loop to be replaced by the full duplex line current source road between fixed base stations and the fixed subscriber unit.This optimum decision system comprises duplex wireless current source road and is used to realize the transmitter and the receiver of necessary agreement.Optimum decision system and digital cellular mobile telephone system exist similitude as known in the art between the GSM.This system uses the agreement based on hierarchical mode, particularly with lower floor: PHY (physics), MAC (medium access control system), DLC (data link control), NWK (network).
A difference of comparing with GSM is that in this optimum decision system, subscriber unit is in the fixed location and does not need the handover setting or other relevant ambulant characteristic.For example, this means in this optimum decision system and can use directional antenna and civil power.
Each base station in this optimum decision system provides 6 duplex wireless current source roads in 12 frequencies selecting from whole Frequency Distribution, so that the interference minimum between approaching base station.The frame structure of duplex link and timing are shown among Fig. 2.Every duplex wireless current source road comprise from the subscriber unit to the base station up link and with fixed frequency skew, down link from the base station to the subscriber unit.Down link is TDM, and up link is TDMA.The modulation of all links is that the basic frame structure of π/4 DQPSK and all links is ten time slots of frame of each 2560 bit.Bit rate is 512 Kb/s.Down link sends continuously and incorporates broadcast channel as basic system information into.When not having user profile to send, downlink transmission continues to use basic frame and structure of time slot and comprises suitable fill pattern (Fillpattem).
For the two the transmission of up link and down link, two class time slots are arranged; Normal time slot that after call setup, uses and the guiding time slot that during call setup, uses.
As shown in Fig. 6 (b), the normal time slot of each down link comprises the synchronizing information of 24 bits, then is the S field that comprises 24 bit appointments of 8 bit header, then is the D field of 160 bit appointments again.This then is 24 bit forward error correction and 8 bit tail, then is the broadcast channel of 12 bits.Broadcast channel is made up of the section in each time slot of a frame, each time slot in this frame forms the down link common signaling channel that is sent by this base station together, and this broadcast channel includes control messages such as the link information of time slot table multiframe and superframe information, connectionless information and based on the out of Memory of this system operation.
During call setup, shown in Fig. 6 a, each downlink pilot timeslot comprises frequency correction data and is used for the initialized training sequence of receiver and only has short S field and do not have D field information.
Uplink time slot comprises two data of different types bags basically, as shown in Figure 5.The first kind is called direct packets, for example is used for the Aloha call request and allows auto-adaptive time to aim at (seeing Fig. 5 a) before connecting foundation.Another type data packets is called normal bag, uses when having set up and is a bigger packet calling out, because used auto-adaptive time aligning (seeing Fig. 5 b).
Each up link normally comprises the packet of 244 bits, it in front and also the back connect the inclination (ramp) of 4 bit durations.The remaining bits on this inclination and the 256 bit time slots left sides provide prevent since timing error from a protection of the interference that closes on time slot at interval.The timing that each subscriber unit is regulated its slot transmission arrives the used time of this base station with compensating signal.Each up link normal data packet comprises the synchrodata of 24 bits, after connect S field and D field as same number of bits in the normal time slot of each down link.
Each uplink pilot time slot comprises the vectoring information bag of 192 bit long, all tilts by having defined 60 bit protections that extend, 4 bits at interval in its front and back.This bigger protection needs at interval, because there is not available timing information, and should not protect at interval, and propagation delay will make adjacent time-slots disturbed.Direct packets comprise 64 bits synchronously, after connect the S field of 104 bits, the S field begins with 8 bit header and finishes with 16 bit cyclic redundancy, 2 reserved bit, 14 forward error correction FEC bits and 8 tail bits.There is not D field.
S field in the above-mentioned packet can be used for the signaling of two classes.The first kind is a MAC signaling (MS) and as the signaling between the MAC layer of the MAC layer of base station and subscriber unit, thereby timing is important.Second class is called relevant signaling, and it can slowly and be used for the base station of DLC or NWK layer and the signaling between the subscriber unit soon.
D field is maximum data field, and comprises the voice sample of numeral under the situation of normal telephone, but also can provide the non-voice data sample.
Use the query-response agreement to make stipulations at the optimum decision system that is used for the subscriber unit permission.Provide general encryption by the uncertain encryption bit sequence that produces with speech or data and by key stream generator is combined, this Hyper Frame Number of encrypting bit sequence and transmission is synchronous.
In addition, the signal of this transmission by out of order to remove component.
Auto-adaptive time is aimed at:
Time delay during the auto-adaptive time aligning is propagated by compensation can reduce the protection period between the normal uplink bag.
For a given subscriber unit, round-trip propagation delay (base station to the user to the base station) is regularly determined with down link by the timing that relatively receives bag in this base station.This subscriber unit is programmed in the transmission of time of being shifted to an earlier date by measured round trip propagation time in this base station, is received and receives bag in the corresponding time slot of being distributed being used for their exactly by this base station guaranteeing.
Do not have auto-adaptive time to aim at, the guard period that is allowed when using the normal uplink bag is not enough.Therefore, till the normal transmission of setting subscriber unit regularly, normal bag can not be sent out, because a danger is arranged: it will conflict mutually with the content of time slot subsequently.Under this situation, it is the uplink pilot bag of transmission.Short direct packets allows the guard period of a prolongation, it can correctly be received and does not require any adjusting of subscriber unit transmit timing.
The base station and the maximum magnitude between the subscriber unit that can use the uplink pilot bag of no timing advance to support approximately are 10 kilometers.Exceed this scope, then should come and go the guard period of timing above the prolongation of using shorter direct packets to provide is provided.But, for bigger scope, can provide another to preset timing advance (timing advance), this means the subscriber unit that can use farther.Preset and be added to the transmission of uplink pilot bag in advance, make in correct time slot, to receive the direct packets that is sent by this base station.This base station relatively receives the timing and down link timing of bag, and with this subscriber unit of programming in advance accordingly, this is called self adaptation in advance accordingly in advance.What be added to that up link normally wraps transmission total then shifts to an earlier date and this self adaptation shifts to an earlier date sum for presetting in advance.Always equal round trip propagation time in advance.
Accurate timing between up link and downlink packet relation is shown among Fig. 3 and timing with normal bag of up link that auto-adaptive time aims at is shown in Fig. 4.
Timing between up link bag and the downlink packet also utilize shown in Fig. 3 and 4, be used for uplink pilot bag and up link and normally wrap the timing slip t of the two and fixedly regulate.
Following parameter is given for auto-adaptive time and aims at:
The resolution t that self adaptation shifts to an earlier date Adv=1 bit
Minimum self adaptation shifts to an earlier date t Adv=0 bit
Maximum self adaptation shifts to an earlier date t Adv=36 bits (≈ user is to base station 10km maximum magnitude)
Preset resolution t in advance Preset=1 bit
Minimum presets t in advance Preset=0 bit
Maximum total timing advance t this user Adv+ t Preset=104 bits
Preset timing advance and be programmed as the part of subscriber unit installation process, and if this subscriber unit be in the maximum magnitude 10km that only supports by change component, then be set at 0.
But outside this scope, the scope user who leaves the base station of its registration according to them can be grouped in the zone, and distributes to their corresponding bigger t in advance that presets PresetAs follows:
The zone Minimum zone (Km) Maximum magnitude (Km) ??t Preset(bit)
????A ????0 ????10 ????0
????B ????5 ????15 ????17
????C ????10 ????20 ????34
????D ????15 ????25 ????51
????E ????20 ????30 ????68
Minimum zone is corresponding to by equaling t Preset+ minimum t AdvThe actual minimum zone supported of total timing advance; Maximum magnitude is corresponding to by equaling t Preset+ maximum t AdvThe actual maximum magnitude supported of total timing advance.
