Detailed description of the invention
The present invention is used for all cellular radio networks based on GSM/DCS.The pan-European gsm system of representing all different development phases based on the cellular radio network of GSM/DCS, it is the stage 1,2,2+ and the DCS 800 that on the basis of gsm system, develops and DCS 1900 systems, and variously be used for further developing the project of described system and with those UMTS systems that is for example developing, be the new exploration project on basis, even they are only partly based on gsm system.In this was used, gsm system used as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this.
Fig. 1 shows an example according to the structure of a cellular radio network of the present invention.There is i.e. sub-district, a hexagonal overlay area base station 100,102.Base station 100,102 can be connected to base station controller 114 by connecting link 112.The task of base station controller 114 is operations of the several base stations 110,102 of control.Generally speaking, 116 have a connection from base station controller 114 to mobile telephone switch, from mobile telephone switch 116 and then be connected to public switched telephone network 118.In office system, base station 100, base station controller 114 even mobile telephone switch 116 can be combined in the device, and this device is connected to public switched telephone network 118, for example is connected on the telephone exchange of public switched telephone network 118.User terminal 104,106 in sub-district has bi-directional radio relay link 108,110 to be connected to the base station 100 of sub-district.In addition, network components, promptly the fixed part of cellular radio network can comprise a plurality of base stations, base station controller, the network management system of transmission system and different stage, obviously those of skill in the art know that cellular radio network also comprises a lot of other structures, does not repeat them here.
Bi-directional radio relay link 118 realizes by using physical channel, and physical channel is being that example is a time slot of 200KHz frequency band among the GSM.Fig. 2 shows radio link 108 desired channels in a simplified manner.The longitudinal axis is represented the frequency range of gsm system, and the left side of figure shows base station 100, and the right shows user terminal 104.Lower band 212 is used for up link, promptly from user terminal 104 to the base station 100 up link.In GSM, low-frequency band 212 comprises from 890 to 915MHz frequency range.Higher frequency band 210 is used for down link, i.e. 100 down links to user terminal 104 from the base station.Network operater is only handled the predetermined portions of frequency band, and for example 5MHz frequency band is divided into the carrier frequency (carrier) of 200KHz, and each generally comprises eight time slots.In this manual, time slot is called as physical channel.In voice transfer, for example, general two physical channels are used as Traffic Channel: a downlink channel 202 and a uplink channel 206.New standard according to finishing in 1997 to 1998 can carry out transfer of data or the propagation of motion video picture etc. with several physical channels simultaneously.
As shown in Figure 2, a logic business channel TCH is arranged on uplink and downlink physical traffic channels 202,206.If necessary this logic business channel TCH can be replaced by a related control channel FACCH of the high speed relevant with this Traffic Channel fully or partly.And, set up one and connect the fixing physical control channel different, fixing physical control channel 200 down links and fixing physical control channel 202 up links with during being connected, sending signal demand.Here " fixing " be meant that one is always given any individual calling (as in DECT) at identical time slot with fixing control channel and this fixed control channel not on commission (commit) that same frequency sends.This physical control channel down link is a BCCH channel of broadcast control, frequency calibration channel FCCH, synchronous channel SCH, paging channel PCH, access authorization channel AGC H, Separate Dedicated Control Channel SDCCH and slow associated control channel SACCH.This physical control channel up link is RACH RACH, Separate Dedicated Control Channel SDCCH and slow associated control channel SACCH.Further information about the structure of these channels and purpose can be from GSM specification and book " GSM introduction ", S.M.Redl, and M.KWeber, M.W.Oliphart, Artech House, London 1995, find among the ISBN 0-8900 6-785-6.
The tabulation of its available physical channel is safeguarded in base station 100.When network was paid, base station 100 was provided the tabulation that this base station 100 can be used for professional physical channel.Afterwards, when network in use the time, network operater is revised available channel list (if he or she wants to do like this) by network management system, or some network componentses are such as the base station controller 114 automatic base stations 100 that reorganize by its management, the tabulation of 102 available frequencies, but keep simultaneously parts available frequencies scope by this way by the network of network or 114 management of described base station controller.The tabulation of physical channels available can comprise the whole frequency range of distributing to the operator or have only its part alternatively.Whole network is dynamically operated under first kind of situation, thereby all operator's available physical channel are handled in each base station, and wherein best some are selected to be used in each concrete situation.According to another optional situation, the sub-fraction of the whole frequency range of this operator is handled in each base station, so the distribution that frequency is used is general more coarse.
Base station 100 and/or user terminal 104 are checked available channel list and are measured the interference level of each physical channel.Repetition is carried out in this measurement with defining randomly or.Measuring appliance is safeguarded a tabulation of its channel.This table can much different modes be realized, such as being inhomogeneity with channel distribution, for example is divided into the channel in the use, noiseless and available channel.The another kind of mode that realizes tabulation is that the ordering physical channel makes first channel in the tabulation comprise a bit or noiseless, and last channel comprises maximum interference or in use in the tabulation.Other channel in the tabulation is between these two limit, according to the ascending order arrangement of interference level.
Base station 100 and/or user terminal 104 select to be used for the physical channel of radio link according to the interference level of measuring.Base station 100 selects those channels with lowest interference level as fixing physical control channel 200,204 from its measured physical channels available.Base station 100 sends logical control channel its selected at least one low interference on the physical channel 200 then.Therefore, base station 100 is sending such as using the low physical channel that disturbs when setting up the very important control channel of connection.The service quality that the user receives be improved because user terminal 104 can set up more reliably one with base station 100 be connected 108.Correspondingly, user terminal 104 uses the low interference physical control channel 204 that base station 100 is selected.The fixed physical control channel generally is delivered for use in the base station or selects when topology network changes.
Base station 100 can be with the physical channel informing base station controller 114 of its selection.Base station controller 114 is notified the adjacent base station 102 of described base station 100 then, tells which physical channel their base stations 100 have used.
Base station 100 can be detected and be included in transmission unit is to send the training sequence of a physical channel being used in the pulse train also for oneself selecting at least one adjacent base station 102 untapped training sequence and it being notified to base station controller 114.A training sequence is the bit sequence that a base station 100 and user terminal 104 all are familiar with, and keeps synchronously with the pulse train that is received with helping receiver.
When setting up bi-directional radio relay link, generally can be moved on the physical traffic channels of having selected 202,206 and finish in the part of the signaling of finishing on the separate physical control channel 200,204.The performance of SDCCH channel is saved and makes the Traffic Channel 202,206 of directly transferring selection when setting up radio link 108 from the RACH channel to then.Setting up link 108 these required signalings finishes on Traffic Channel 202,206 then.At all without any need for the SDCCH signal, but the FACCH signal relevant with the Traffic Channel 202,206 of link is used to send signal.The covering of Traffic Channel 202,206 can be estimated better that than the covering of control channel 200,204 because have only two sides on the Traffic Channel, and several different user terminal 104,106 can use identical control channel.
User terminal 104 selects to have the channel of lowest interference level as physical channel up link 202 from the physical channels available of its measurement.Therefore, user terminal 104 is measured the interference level of the physical channel of usable frequency.In system information, it is the information that user terminal can therefrom be selected the available channel of its Traffic Channel that user terminal 104 receives one from the base station about for which.User terminal 104 is safeguarded the tabulation of its channel.This tabulation is similar to the above-mentioned tabulation of being safeguarded by base station 100 for instance.
When selecting physical traffic channels up link 206, two optional methods are arranged.The physical traffic channels down link 202 and the physical traffic channels up link 206 that are used for radio link 108 can be selected respectively, if the frequency interval between them is a size at random.For example this means that a 45MHz who is used in the fixing two-way interval (fixed duplex spacing) in the GSM standard needn't be effective, but descending and reverse link traffic channel is to select in the interference little mode of trying one's best.User terminal 104 and base station 100 select to have the channel of lowest interference level then from the physical channels available of being measured by base station 100.
If use fixing two-way interval, fixed frequency of the selected physical channel downlink of distance physical channel at interval is selected as the physical channel up link.
When setting up link 108 and switching, relate to the selection problem of Traffic Channel 202,206.Switching can be that an intra-cell is changed, and promptly transfers one other channel in the same sub-district to by a physical channel, such as needs to switch owing to the described quality of channel of disturbing of increase extremely worsens.Also may be the switching between the sub-district, it means that link 108 is switched to another base station 102 from a base station 100.
User terminal is selecting Traffic Channel to use the system information of base station 100 issues at 202,206 o'clock.The system information of base station 100 issue is meant that base station 100 is distributed on information on some logical control channels with the transmission of broadcast type.This system information can change according to specific implementation.
System information comprises a tabulation of an available channel.In this connected, available channel list was used so that terminal can be selected its Traffic Channel 202,206 with aforesaid way by user terminal 104,106.
System information can comprise the type of each adjacent base station 102.The user terminal 104 of the notified type of adjacent base station 102 (for example GSM stage (phase) 1, GSM/DCS stage (phase) 2, DS (=Dynamic Selection)) helps user terminal 104 to arrange its operations.When the switching carried out to described adjacent base station 102, user terminal 104 knows whether the process of telling about among the present invention of having used.This makes foundation not only comprise according to the base station of prior art but also comprises that both networks of mixing of the base station told about among the present invention become possibility.
System information can comprise the tabulation of the channel that each adjacent base station 102 can be used.In described channel, user terminal is finished the measurement of received radio field intensity and may be carried out interferometry, prepares for possible switching like this.System information can comprise the identification data of the physical channel (comprising the BCCH channel) of each adjacent base station, frequency and time slot in for example synchronous cellular radio network.Now, user terminal 104 need not measured all channels that adjacent base station 102 is handled, but 104 measurements of user terminal comprise the wireless field density that receives on the physical channel of BCCH channel.
System information can comprise the information about the interference level of physical traffic channels up link.Like this, user terminal 104 can find the covering of described channel is how to point to base station 100; User terminal 104 uses this information when selecting its Traffic Channel in the above described manner.
System information can comprise a tabulation that has distributed physical channel.User terminal 104 with regard to notified which channel is assigned with like this.No longer need to measure the interference of these channels, but user terminal 104 these channels of mark are for distributing.
System information can comprise the quality threshold that a channel is selected.The quality threshold that channel is selected indicates the restriction of interference level, and the channel that is lower than this value can be handled, and the channel that is higher than this value comprises too many interference and can not be used for reliable business.
System information can comprise the quality threshold that switches in the honeycomb.This threshold value indicates the restriction of the interference level of a radio link, is higher than this value user terminal 104 and requires base station 100 to switch to the channel that another has better covering.System information also can comprise the border that switch a minizone.
When user terminal 104 was in active state and use discrete transmission, this user terminal 104 can be finished the needs of measurement to find that possible minizone is switched to adjacent base station 102 in the gap that it does not transmit.
When frequency hopping, user terminal 104 selects to be used for the physical channel of frequency hop sequences.Like this, method of the present invention also can play a role in the cellular radio network based on GSM/DCS that uses frequency hopping.
When user terminal 104 was selected Traffic Channel, it may ask the base station to receive the physical traffic channels of its suggestion.The identification data of user terminal 104 physical channel that it is selected with at least one on the RACH channel then sends to base station 100, and promptly it sends the identification data that at least one its hope with low interference level is used as Traffic Channel.This may occur in when setting up a connection, comprises when calling out for mobile-originated one or when calling out the calling of travelling carriage.This also may occur in the process of a calling, thereby finishes on the FACCH channel relevant with the Traffic Channel in a Geju City with the signal of a handoff association in this calling.Base station 100 sends the signal that whether receives by at least one Traffic Channel of user terminal suggestion at the AGCH channel.Use aforesaid mode, user terminal 104 may begin communication service at least one Traffic Channel of being advised immediately when user terminal 104 receives the signal of at least one Traffic Channel that acceptance advises from the base station.On this Traffic Channel, finish then with one and connect related signaling.The communication relevant with establishment of connection also may be finished in the common mode of describing in the GSM standard, and thitherto, just brings into use the Traffic Channel of suggestion.
When the Traffic Channel of base station 100 refusing user's terminals 104 suggestion, user terminal 104 some other at least one Traffic Channels of suggestion.The Traffic Channel of base station 100 possibility refusing user's terminals, 104 suggestions is if can not be used for business well inadequately from this quality of channel of angle of base station.The number of times of the Traffic Channel of base station 100 refusing user's terminals, 104 suggestions can be scheduled to.But because there are the disposal ability and the better antenna of more post-processed signal in the base station, under bad condition, channel is selected optimised at user terminal 104.Channel is selected also may fail.Must carry out a secondary channel in this case again selects.
