Abstract

In a mobile telecommunication switching network, mobile stations may be used as fixed cellular stations in static applications such as a telemetry application. The telecommunications switching network can reduce and/or eliminate subscriber numbers allocated to mobile stations that are used in static application by taking advantage of the face that the location of such mobile station is always known and does not change. Accordingly, the mobile stations can be identified and located within the switching network by a unique combination of paging area identification number (e.g., a mobile switching center identification code) and international mobile subscriber identity, rather than by a unique mobile subscriber number (MSN) or mobile station ISDN (MSISDN). Consequently, there is no need to obtain the location information from the network home location register as a function of the MSN or the MSISDN.

IW/G-MSC 120 is packaged into an end-to-end information field of message packets with IMSI, and everybody understands in this area for this.Then, IW/G-MSC 120 utilizes ISDNYong Hubufen (ISUP) communication protocol according to PRN, this message packets is transmitted (4) give correct VMSC130.Next, VMSC 130 opens this message packets, utilizes IMSI that travelling carriage 110 is carried out paging, will comprise that the short message of the request of master computer passes to travelling carriage 110.
Fig. 2 illustrates that how master computer in the prior art 205 utilizes travelling carriage 210 in the Short Message Service agreement inquiry gsm system with similar mode.At first, master computer 205 produces a short message request.Enclose SMS service center (SC) in the short message request, for example SC-A 215, the address.Append to the MSISDN of also having in the short message request corresponding to target MS 210.Then, master computer 205 sends (1) by a SME interface (for example GSM 03.49 interface) with this short message request and gives SC-A 215, and this has been well-known in this area.
Then, SC-A 215 transmits (2) with this short message and gives the GSM network.SC-A 215 moves application protocol 03.49 (for example SMS-MAP) according to as you know SMS and sends this short message.Short message enters network by Short Message Service, gateway mobile switching centre (SMS-GMSC) 220.Then, SMS-GMSC 220 utilizes this SMS-MAP to send (3) routing information (SRIFSM) instructions that send SMS message to HLR 225.This SRIFSM instruction also comprises the MSISDN of target MS 210.HLR 225 utilizes this MSISDN to visit the user record of travelling carriage 210.As mentioned above, user record comprises the relevant information in position with travelling carriage 210.This SRIFSM instruction of HLR 225 responses sends a MSC-ID code and an IMSI to SMS-GMSC 220, and MSC-ID code wherein is VMSC 230 network addresss of the service area at control travelling carriage 210 places.This short message of 220 transmissions of SMS-MSC (5) is given VMSC 230, and The latter IMSI sends to travelling carriage 210 with this message.
In GSM, master computer 205 can also adopt USSD communication protocol with target MS communication, and is described as No. the 08/303027th, common unsettled U.S. Patent application.According to this USSD communication protocol, all calcaneus rete network HLR 225 or VMSC230 directly dock master computer 205 usually.In addition, the request of master computer 205 generations comprises or comprises the MSISDN of target MS 210.Convert this MSISDN to VMSC-ID and/or IMSI then.So, when master computer 205 sends to travelling carriage 210 according to SMS shown in Figure 2 with message packets,, also have the poor efficiency of same puzzlement network if master computer adopts USSD.
Fig. 3 illustrates then how the master computer 305 among the present invention inquires one or more travelling carriage in the PDC system, and travelling carriage wherein is used to static application, and for example remote measurement is used, and perhaps remote programmable is used.But to be not travelling carriage be completely fixed or motionless for this.In fact travelling carriage can be limited in some scopes or regional interior moving in the network, for example moves in travelling carriage service area and/or paging zone.
At first, master computer 305 is submitted (1) request to, requires to utilize SMS to send first message to one or more travelling carriage, for example travelling carriage 310 and/or travelling carriage 315.Although in message request, discern with a unique preferably descriptive letter-numeric address rather than a MSN.For example, if master computer 305 is accounting computers of this public company of Utilities Electric Co., travelling carriage 310 and 315 is ammeters of Utilities Electric Co., master computer just can adopt descriptive letter-numeric address, for example METER00310 and METER00315 discern travelling carriage 310 and 315 uniquely.Yet the technical staff in this area can understand, any unique sequence, and for example unique binary sequence, perhaps the unique sequence of recognizable character and/or symbol may be used to constitute the travelling carriage address.
Next step, SMS-C 320 receives this message request, under the help of database 325 or look-up table (not drawing), SMS-C 320 translates this one or more descriptive travelling carriage letter-numeric address in the past.In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, SMS-C 320 becomes a PRN and an IMSI with database 325 with each travelling carriage address transition, and PRN wherein is the network address of the VMSC of controlled target travelling carriage place service area.In order to make message can arrive target MS, each travelling carriage all has the unique combination of PRN and IMSI.
But each travelling carriage in the network all has been necessary a unique IMSI.Well-known in this area, the service area under a VMSC controls may comprise several paging zones.Therefore, in another embodiment of the invention, each paging zone has all distributed a unique PRN, like this, different paging zones (promptly, with the relevant different paging zones of MSC/VMSC or with the relevant different paging zones of different MS C/VMSC) in two travelling carriages can share same IMSI, thereby save available IMSI and MSN code.
In another embodiment, SMS-C 320 can become to follow the trail of routing address, an IMSI and a MSN with descriptive travelling carriage address transition with database 325.Because a main purpose of the present invention is to save limited MSN, so all travelling carriages that are used for a certain static application in this network can be shared same MSN value.
Notice in front in each embodiment of the present invention of describing MSN itself and do not rely on that recognition objective travelling carriage this point is extremely important uniquely.In addition, there is no need at all to inquire that network HLR obtains the network address of target MS.As mentioned above, this information storage is convenient at 325 li of the databases of SMS-C 320.Therefore, except saving the MSN number and distributing to if desired the time the IMSI number of various users and travelling carriage, the present invention can also reduce the live load of network HLR, thereby improves network efficiency, shortens message and transmits the stand-by period.
In case SMS-C 320 and database 325 letter-numeric address that each target MS is descriptive converts unique combination of PRN and IMSI to, SMS-C 320 just utilizes ISUP communication protocol to send (2) short message data bags by IW/G-MSC 330 and gives switching network.IW/G-MSC330 transmits (3) according to PRN with the short message data bag and gives suitable VMSC, and for example VMSC 335.Then, this VMSC 335 utilizes this IMSI to seek target MS in its service area, and for example travelling carriage 315.Next, VMSC 335 sends (4) message packets by base station 345 and gives travelling carriage 315.Then, travelling carriage 315 is opened message packets, extracts the short message that master computer 305 sends.
In another embodiment, master computer 305 comprises and is used for descriptive travelling carriage letter-numeric address is converted to database or the look-up table of a PRN and an IMSI.Then, master computer 305 with this then message submit to (1) to give SMS 320 together with PRN and IMSI.In this embodiment, SMS 320 main processing are docked needed communication protocol with the mobile network.The advantage of this embodiment is to be to finish in a less node that is subjected to the un-real time job influence with the task that descriptive travelling carriage letter-numeric address converts a PRN and an IMSI to.In addition, safeguard that 305 li of master computers this database or look-up table can provide extra fail safe, and help protection client's secret.
How Fig. 4 explanation master computer 405 in gsm system can inquire travelling carriage as message carrier according to the present invention with SMS, and for example travelling carriage 410, and travelling carriage 410 wherein is used to static application, and for example remote measurement application or remote programmable are used.According to Fig. 4, short message SC 415 is given in master computer 405 submissions (1) mobile terminal short message (MT-SM) first.Except the MSISDN of travelling carriage 410, this MT-SM comprises an identification code.Catch up with that to state the PDC system the same, this identification code can be descriptive in itself, letter-digital preferably, although can adopt unique arbitrarily sequence, and for example sequence formed of binary sequence or recognizable character and/or symbol.Then, in the mode similar with SMS-C shown in Figure 3 320, SC 415 converts identification code an IMSI and a VMSC-ID of this travelling carriage 410 to, and VMSC-ID wherein is corresponding to one of travelling carriage 410 place MSC service area address E.164.This SC 415 submits to (2) to give switching network this MT-SM by gateway MSC (GMSC) 420.Then, GMSC 420 transmits (3) with MT-SM and gives the VMSC 425 that is controlling travelling carriage 410 place MSC service area.Next, this VMSC 425 gives travelling carriage 410 by suitable base station controller 430 and base station transmitter 435 with MT-SM emission (4).
According to this embodiment of the present invention, do not need that a SRIFSM instruction is sent to HLR and seek travelling carriage 410.Like this, the live load on the network HLR has obtained again alleviating.In addition, unique combination of VMSC-ID and IMSI is respectively applied for identification MSC service area and travelling carriage 410, rather than uses MSISDN.Therefore, can not use MSISDN, thereby save a limited number of available MSISDN.On the other hand, the present invention distributes to all travelling carriages in a certain static application with same MSISDN, and professional and use and use for diverse network, wherein each travelling carriage is still discerned with the unique combination of VMSC-ID and IMSI.
On the one hand, each paging zone among the present invention in the single MSC service area can be discerned with a unique MSC-ID number again.According to this mode of the present invention, two or more travelling carriages can be shared same IMSI, as long as they are positioned at different paging zones.In like manner, two or more travelling carriages can be shared same IMSI, if they are positioned at different MSC service area.This mode of the present invention can reduce the number of the IMSI that needs and the number of the MSISDN that needs.
Technical staff in this area should understand, travelling carriage 410 also can for example respond the message that master computer 405 sends and send message first.According to present GSM standard, travelling carriage 410 inserts mobile originating short message (MO-SM) with its MSISDN, as the originators address.Yet as mentioned above, all travelling carriages that same application is adopted can both distribute same MSISDN.So master computer 405 can utilize unique combination of IMSI and/or VMSC-ID and IMSI to distinguish MO-SM.
In another embodiment, master computer 405 converts identification code to a VMSC-ID and an IMSI.Then, master computer 405 submits to (1) to give SC 415 this MT-SM, and MT-SM has wherein comprised VMSC-ID and IMSI.In this another embodiment, SC415 still handles with the mobile network and docks needed communication protocol.The advantage of this embodiment is to be to be finished by a less node (just master computer 405) that is subjected to the un-real time job influence with the task that identification code converts a VMSC-ID and an IMSI to.As mentioned above, database or look-up table in the maintenance host calculation machine have increased fail safe, and can help protection client's secret.
As mentioned above, common unsettled U.S. Patent application has been described gsm system for No. 08/363027 and how to be utilized USSD communication protocol to allow external node 505 with travelling carriage 510 communications.Consider this point, Fig. 5 has provided another embodiment of the invention.According to this embodiment, external node (for example master computer) produces message first, and perhaps a text strings has wherein comprised and discerned travelling carriage 510 necessary VMSC-ID and IMSI uniquely.USSD has also been described usually all directly with network HLR515 that is controlling travelling carriage 510 place service areas or VMSC 520 butt joints in the front.Though external node can dock with HLR 515,, the user records that at all there is no need to visit in the HLR 515 obtain to send message to travelling carriage 510 information necessary, because external node 505 provides VMSC-ID and IMSI.In addition, external node 505 can be by gateway MSC 525 a calcaneus rete networks butt joint.Therefore, Fig. 5 describes gateway MSC 525 with a dotted line.Perhaps, master computer can be the part of network.According to this scheme, master computer can directly send message, and needn't be with a GMSC or a HLR butt joint.Therefore, be used as message carrier no matter be with SMS or with USSD, discern each travelling carriage by depending on, can reduce the number of the MSISDN that distributes to the travelling carriage that is used for static application and/or avoid using them with unique combination of IMSI or VMSC-ID and IMSI.
As mentioned above, various embodiments of the present invention provide many advantages.At first, PRN/MSC-ID by depending on each travelling carriage in IMSI or this switching network and unique combination of IMSI, can reduce the number of MSN in the PDC system that distributes to the travelling carriage that is used for static application, and the number of the MSISDN in the gsm system.Secondly, distributing to the number of the IMSI of travelling carriage can be by guaranteeing that being positioned at same paging zone without any two two travelling carriages sharing same IMSI is reduced.The 3rd, owing to no longer need to inquire that network HLR obtains positional information, reduce the live load of network HLR, thereby improved network efficiency, reduce message delay.
