Abstract

The present invention involves apparatus and method for providing page messages to mobile radios based on the mobility rates of the mobile radio. For mobile radios that are relatively stationary, page messages are sent to a cell in which the mobile radio resides, while radios which are increasingly mobile receive their page messages on a local area basis. The mobile radio only performs location updates when the situation is optimized for doing so depending upon the mobility of the radio, the introduction of a new cell, the introduction of a new location area, the expiration of a pre-determined time limit and the status of a new cell location flag. A function is defined for location updating on either a locationary basis or a cell basis in accordance with each of the above factors in order to optimize the burden of location area updating and unwanted page broadcasting.

Description

Adaptive location level
Invention field
The present invention relates to telecommunication system, and specially refer to the transmission of the beep-page message that is used for mobile radio system.
Background of invention and general introduction
Mobile wireless telecommunication system is made up of honeycomb, and wherein mobile wireless device can enter or leave geographical defined " sub-district ".Can know that in cell structure some mobile wireless device can possess stronger or more weak mobility than miscellaneous equipment.For example some wireless device can be used to move in the middle of the more frequent application, so this equipment will pass new cell boarder every a few minutes.A simple mobile wireless device can move to such an extent that compare severe (for example in the regular work hours) in a period of time, but after one hour, its mobility will descend to some extent.
In cell structure, mobile wireless network is designed to utilize broadcast system and mobile wireless device to communicate.In example embodiment, single base station can provide service for defined each sub-district in the geographic area like this, and mobile wireless switching center can provide service for each base station in the presumptive area.In example embodiment, described base station can be in the sub-district on the basis of the relevant transmission range in each base station and feature, the geographic area of definition sub-district.Similarly, mobile wireless switching center can define a locating area, and this zone can define geographically according to the best service feature between the base station in mobile wireless switching center and the locating area.
Mobile wireless switching center can provide following two kinds of critical functions for any one specific mobile wireless device.The first, it can preserve the accurate location of mobile wireless device in honeycomb more or less, when receiving the incoming call of mobile wireless device with box lunch, can find this mobile wireless device.Concerning mobile wireless device, a kind of positioned update method is exactly periodically the location of oneself to be notified to network.According to the cycle of positioned update, this method can provide locating information preferably for each mobile wireless device, can upgrade transmission owing to repeatedly positioning but do like this, and increase the weight of the burden of system resource.Having developed at present multiple scheme is used to balance and optimizes the hope of the more localization messages of acquisition and minimizing of positioned update burden.
Another significant process of mobile wireless switching center is exactly paging.No matter when receive the calling that enters at mobile wireless device, mobile wireless switching center all can send beep-page message to this mobile wireless device.In this area, this process is generally acknowledged, and is understandable.The beep-page message that is used for specific mobile wireless device is sent in the locating area, and this zone can be defined by adjacent a plurality of sub-districts around the sub-district relevant with the up-to-date known locations of mobile wireless device.In this environment, locating area is defined as one group of sub-district (one or more), and travelling carriage can freely move therein, and need not upgrade network with regard to its reposition.In fact, locating area is the residing at once Minimum Area of specific travelling carriage that network can be learnt.For the purpose of paging, be a kind of known technology with the synthetic locating area of a plurality of cell set.
Another kind of paging technique provides description in United States Patent (USP) (No.5289527), wherein all sub-districts all have disclosed geographical position, and the registration of mobile wireless device is effective within this subdistrict position certain radius.Under the sort of situation, in case travelling carriage enters new sub-district, promptly exceed the radius of the last sub-district of its previous registration, travelling carriage just need be registered.
In locating area is exactly the system of the residing minimum known location of travelling carriage (no matter locating area is scheduled to, and perhaps dynamically determines), be used for all sub-districts that the beep-page message of specific travelling carriage can be in paging channel be sent to locating area.Although beep-page message is sent to all sub-districts in the locating area, but the many beep-page messages in the paging channel can be wasted, its reason is that travelling carriage only can receive one of them in the middle of a plurality of message that sent, promptly send to that a piece of news of that sub-district at the real place of travelling carriage.Just, although network can send beep-page message in a plurality of sub-districts in locating area, owing to can only be in the sub-district at a moment travelling carriage, so it can only receive a beep-page message from network.All message (for the purpose to this travelling carriage paging) that send in the sub-district that does not have this travelling carriage all can add unnecessary load to Paging Control Channel.
If increased the load of location registration operation certainly, then paging load will correspondingly reduce, this just means that the mobile position estimation that system is learnt can be as accurate as the sub-district one-level, then will eliminate the paging load to unnecessary sub-district if on the basis that increases positioned update.Can concentrate in the present zone of travelling carriage in order to ensure paging, then must upgrade (for example when travelling carriage enters a new sub-district) to the location of travelling carriage relatively more frequently.This just means and can cause bigger positioned update burden to system.About the problem between balance positioned update cost/burden and the paging cost/burden has a detailed description in (IEEE CommunicationsMagazine, in August, 1997) at article " LocationManagement Methods For Third-generation Mobile Systems (the orientation management method that is used for third generation mobile system) ".Therefore need between positioned update pattern and paging load, trade off, but prior art shows that do not increase a kind of burden, it is impossible wanting to alleviate another kind of burden (positioned update or paging).
If yet consider the mobility of various wireless devices, paging system just can be customized to the special characteristic of mobile wireless device, the i.e. rate travel of mobile wireless device.So according to an aspect of the present invention, can be based on the mobile behavior of travelling carriage, decision is to send the beep-page message that is used for mobile wireless device on the locating area basis or on the cell area basis.Judge that the ambulant the whole bag of tricks of travelling carriage all is known, and the present invention also is not limited to these ad hoc approach.According to the mobility of any particular wireless device, can adopt the paging operation of other paging operation of locating area level or employing cell level.
With reference to the accompanying drawings,, can more intactly understand and know from experience these and other objects of the present invention and benefit by scrutinizing the detailed description of the preferred example embodiment of the present invention that provides subsequently, wherein:
The accompanying drawing summary
Fig. 1 is that the general introduction of honeycomb is represented;
Fig. 2 is the form that is used to illustrate the positioned update process example embodiment of the example embodiment according to the present invention; And
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 provide the flow chart according to example embodiment of the present invention.
Accompanying drawing describes in detail
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention that provides, consider that the mobility of various travelling carriages goes to judge that how calling beep-page message sends.Because the mobility of travelling carriage is not consistent, and is inequality, so need to judge the rate travel of each travelling carriage.Can the most easily judge the rate travel of this travelling carriage based on the frequency of the performed positioned update of travelling carriage.The higher travelling carriage of those rate travels can be carried out positioned update usually more continually, and can judge that according to its lower positioned update frequency the rate travel of other travelling carriage also can hang down relatively.That is to say, can suppose that for the frequent travelling carriage of carrying out positioned update provides the network of service this travelling carriage is in the mobile status at a high speed.On the other hand, because some travelling carriage just moves in identical sub-district in a long time and carries out positioned update hardly, therefore, the invisible travelling carriage of this system can regard these travelling carriages relative to the equipment that does not move for providing the network of service.
The given preferred embodiment of the present invention adopts two-stage other location register method, i.e. locating area rank registration and the registration of cell area rank at least.Like this, although the registration of legacy system can go to call various multi-form locating area signalings, the present invention just calls second level message, promptly based on the registration of sub-district.According to the mobile behavior of travelling carriage, perhaps adopt the locating area paging operation or adopt the cell area paging operation.
In traditional system, network and travelling carriage can be learnt the location of travelling carriage.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, add certain sign and timer information in the travelling carriage this knowledge.In case mobile station in selecting new sub-district, and do not carry out positioned update, then with this flag set.Promptly as long as travelling carriage originally was registered in the locating area, and in same locating area, moves to sub-district new in the same locating area and this situation will occur.As long as carry out positioned update, promptly as long as travelling carriage has moved in the new locating area, this sign just will be set.Each positioned update of carrying out all will be restarted the travelling carriage timer, and this timer is continuous service always, up to reaching predetermined time value or carrying out positioned update once more.The predetermined value timer can be provided by network, perhaps can implement in travelling carriage by preprogrammed method.Network can adopt the cycle registration timer as above-mentioned predetermined timer.
Fig. 1 has provided general environment used in the present invention.The mobile station MS that is positioned at locating area 1 can move in each sub-district of locating area 1, i.e. sub-district 1,2... sub-district, sub-district 5.According to existing Accreditation System, as long as travelling carriage rests in the locating area 1, it just can move to any sub-district in the locating area 1 and still not carry out positioned update.Then, as just example, in case receive incoming call,, just need in paging channel, send this beep-page message in all sub-districts in locating area 1 in order to make beep-page message can arrive the mobile station MS that is positioned at one of those specific cells to travelling carriage.Although the method for various drafting locating areas (can be overlapping, not overlapping or big or little or the like) all is known, it is consistent that locating area has a bit, i.e. the residing Minimum Area of travelling carriage that can learn of define grid.
Along with travelling carriage moves to the sub-district of other locating area (for example from locating area 1 to locating area 2 from the sub-district in the locating area, perhaps from locating area 2 to locating area 3), travelling carriage need be carried out positioned update, makes network can identify travelling carriage and has been positioned at a new locating area now.
In Fig. 2,, the given preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described at the performed under various conditions various operations of travelling carriage.Square frame 10 and 11 is expressed as the previous location level that specific travelling carriage recognizes.Square frame 10 identification travelling carriages were before registered (wireless device that relatively moves) on the locating area basis, and square frame 11 expression travelling carriages were before registered (static relatively wireless device) on cell basis.The top line title is represented the environment that travelling carriage oneself can find among Fig. 2.In title 12, travelling carriage moves in the interior new sub-district, zone, former location, for example 1 sub-district 2 (see figure 1)s that move in the same locating area 1 from the sub-district.In title 15, travelling carriage rests in the same sub-district, but network is given new locating area this cell allocation again, in the sub-district 5 that for example provides in Fig. 1, at t=t0 constantly, sub-district 5 is assigned to locating area 1, then at t=t1 constantly, this sub-district is assigned to locating area 3 again.In title 18, travelling carriage moves in new sub-district and the new locating area, and for example the sub-district 4 from the locating area 1 of Fig. 1 moves in the sub-district 7 of locating area 2.Finally in title 21, travelling carriage not necessarily moves in new sub-district or the new locating area, but recognizing its timer expires.
In Fig. 2, square frame 13,14,16,17,19,20,22 and 23 all is the previous registration- level 10 and 11 of considering travelling carriage, by the table of travelling carriage in various title environment 12,15,18 and the operation adopted for 21 times.Like this, before the travelling carriage of registration can be carried out following operation on locating area basis 10:
1) (12) during the new sub-district in travelling carriage enters former location zone, travelling carriage is not operated (13).This had been owing to travelling carriage before had been to go up registration in locating area basis (10), but also did not enter into new locating area (12).
2) when travelling carriage enters the new locating area of same sub-district (15), travelling carriage is carried out positioned update (16).Travelling carriage before upgraded on locating area basis (10), but network the geographic area is rearranged, make original sub-district be positioned at new locating area now.This can take place owing to the redesign of sub-district.Clearly this situation is not all can take place every day, but in the network that constantly enlarges, it is a more common job that the sub-district is rearranged.
3) during the new sub-district in travelling carriage enters into new locating area, travelling carriage is carried out positioned update (19).The reason that travelling carriage is carried out positioned update once more is that it before registered on locating area basis (10), and this travelling carriage has entered in the new locating area (18).
4) do not enter new locating area or new sub-district when travelling carriage, but as an alternative, it recognizes its timer and expires (21), travelling carriage is checked its sign, with the state of determination flag.(do not enter the new sub-district in the zone, former location) when carrying out positioned update when the new sub-district of mobile station in selecting, sign is set.In square frame 22, if this sign is not set, then travelling carriage is carried out the positioned update of cell level.If this sign is set, then undo.
If travelling carriage is pressed shown in the square frame 11, before on cell basis, registered, then ought be in for 12,15,18 and 21 following time of condition, travelling carriage can be made following reaction:
1) (12) during the new sub-district in travelling carriage enters former location zone, travelling carriage will be carried out positioned update (14).This is because travelling carriage has begun to have entered high-speed moving state.
2) in travelling carriage rests on former sub-district, but when this sub-district is assigned to new locating area (15), travelling carriage undo (17).Although this is because network exchanges to travelling carriage in the new locating area and since travelling carriage before be on cell basis (11), register and still rest on (15) former the sub-district in, so understand like this.
3) when travelling carriage enters into new locating area and new sub-district (18), travelling carriage is carried out positioned update (20).Because travelling carriage was before gone up registration in cell basis (11), need position renewal (20) so enter new sub-district (18).
4) recognize its timer when expiring (21), undo when travelling carriage.
Like this, travelling carriage can according to its previous registration-level (based on the sub-district or based on locating area) with and new state, carry out different positioned updates.Square frame 14,16,19 and 20 interior positioned updates all carry out on the locating area basis.
In suboptimum embodiment, the timer that is adopted is cycle registration timer (rather than the timer internal that provides of travelling carriage or network provide timer).In this case, square frame 22 will there are differences.Then in square frame 22, if sign is set, then travelling carriage is carried out positioned update on the locating area basis.If the sign in the square frame 22 is not set, travelling carriage is carried out positioned update on cell basis.And on cycle registration timer basis, square frame 23 is illustrated in the performance of the positioned update on the cell basis.
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 illustrate the flow chart of given preferred embodiment.Power up at step 30 travelling carriage, check location situation and the location level that it is previous at step 31 travelling carriage then.According to previous registration-level, previous location level can be based on the sub-district or based on locating area.If travelling carriage was before registered (step 32) on the locating area basis, then travelling carriage will detect to judge that it is at present whether in same locating area (step 34).If (step 36), then travelling carriage clear flag (step 42).If not (step 37), travelling carriage is carried out locating area and is upgraded operation (step 40), clear flag (step 42) then.
On the other hand, if travelling carriage is registered (step 33) on cell basis, then the travelling carriage verification is to judge whether it also is within the original sub-district (step 35).If (step 38), then in step 42 clear flag.If not (step 39), then on the locating area basis, carry out positioned update (step 41), then in step 42 clear flag.
After the step 42 (clear flag), travelling carriage starts timer in step 43, detects then by title head among Fig. 2 12,15,18 and 21 situations about being identified.Detect the state variation of travelling carriage in step 44, and cause identifying travelling carriage following variation is arranged: in step 45, travelling carriage moves to the new sub-district (square frame 12 in the corresponding diagram 2) in the original locating area; In step 46, move to the new sub-district (square frame 18 in the corresponding diagram 2) in the new locating area; Former sub-district in step 47 moves to new locating area (square frame 15 in the corresponding diagram 2); The perhaps timer that the A point provides among Fig. 3 state (continue with reference to figure 4) that expires is corresponding to the timer of square frame among Fig. 2 21 state that expires.If its original registration location level then need be judged in step 48 in the new sub-district of travelling carriage in step 45 moves to original locating area, promptly this travelling carriage is registered on cell basis, still registers on the locating area basis.In step 49, if travelling carriage is registered on cell basis, then in step 51, travelling carriage can be carried out positioned update (corresponding to the square frame among Fig. 2 14) on the locating area basis.Can restart timer in step 52 then, and in step 53 clear flag.
On the other hand, carry out (step 50) if travelling carriage judges in step 48 that it had before been registered on the locating area basis, this situation is corresponding to the square frame among Fig. 2 13, and do not need to carry out what operation, just need be in step 54 flag set.
In step 44, travelling carriage can judge that it has moved to (step 46) (square frame 18 in the corresponding diagram 2) in the new sub-district in the new locating area.(shown in the square frame among Fig. 2 19 and 20) in this case, no matter travelling carriage before had been on the locating area basis (square frame 10), or (square frame 11) registered on cell basis, it all need carry out positioned update on the locating area basis.Correspondingly in Fig. 3, after the step 46, travelling carriage will be carried out positioned update (step 55) on the basis of locating area, restart timer (step 56), and clear flag (step 57).
If in step 44 travelling carriage has been redistributed into new locating area, but still rest on (step 47) in the original sub-district (square frame 15 in the corresponding diagram 2), then it before registered on the locating area basis travelling carriage in step 58 judgement, still registered on cell basis.If travelling carriage is registered (step 59) (square frame 16 in the corresponding diagram 2) on the locating area basis, then travelling carriage is carried out positioned update (step 61) on the locating area basis, restart timer (step 62), and clear flag (step 63).If travelling carriage judges that in step 58 first prelocalization registration-level is based on (step 60) of sub-district on the other hand, travelling carriage undo (square frame 17 in the corresponding diagram 2) then.It should be noted that also after step 60, owing to travelling carriage does not enter in the new sub-district, so travelling carriage is not removed sign.
Some A behind the some A among Fig. 3 in the map interlinking 4, the flow chart among Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 just can be regarded as and constitutes a flow chart like this.Situation (square frame 21 in the corresponding diagram 2) when Fig. 4 represents that occurring in timer expires.Substantially, after the step 44 of Fig. 3, if travelling carriage just judged that timer expired before entering into new sub-district or entering new locating area, then flow chart will be transferred to the A point among Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.In step 65, if the travelling carriage shutdown, then this method of operation stops in step 66.If timer expires (step 64), provide among Fig. 2: according to previous registration- level 10 or 11, travelling carriage or execution positioned update, perhaps undo ( square frame 22 or 23).Like this, travelling carriage can be judged previous registration location level in step 67, is registration on locating area (square frame 10 among Fig. 2) basis, still registration on basis, sub-district (square frame 11 among Fig. 2).If judge that in step 68 previous registration carries out on the locating area basis, then adopt the operation of the square frame 22 among Fig. 2, and travelling carriage must judge at the overdue moment sign of timer whether be set (step 70).If judge that in step 71 sign is set, then restart timer at step 73 travelling carriage, and clear flag (step 74).If on the other hand the overdue moment of timer, sign is not set (step 72), then in step 75, travelling carriage will be carried out positioned update on cell basis, and restarts timer in step 76.After the step 74 and 76, processing procedure is transferred to the step B (corresponding to the step B among Fig. 3) among Fig. 4, and wherein in step 44, processing procedure continues to detect the variation of state next time.
In step 67, after timer expires, before registered and on cell basis, carried out (step 69) if travelling carriage detects it, then travelling carriage restarts timer (step 77).After this B point of transferring among Fig. 3 continues operation.
Timer and flag operation can be integrated in the processor circuit that can find in traditional mobile wireless device.Like this, by in existing processor circuit software, add timer function, blip facility and with the corresponding to routine of embodiment described in Fig. 2-4, just can adopt dissimilar any mobile wireless devices according to the present invention.
The present invention can also be used among other optional embodiment more than two registration-levels.Can imagine, the rank that between locating area rank and cell level, can have other, make the travelling carriage that is in the middling speed motion on certain geographical rank, to register, and this geographical rank will be between big locating area and less cell level.In this way, the registration of travelling carriage can be carried out in a series of ranks (each is slightly little), static so relatively travelling carriage can be registered on cell level, and the ever-increasing travelling carriage of movement velocity can register on the rank that progressively improves, until the locating area rank.Since provide the income that registration brought of additional level can not balance its complexity that increases for all systems, so afterwards a kind of embodiment is not necessarily preferred for this.
According to the present invention, the travelling carriage in the past speed of motion can determine how travelling carriage carries out positioned update, and how network is made and being replied.The present invention can provide a kind of optimum state, for example wherein can avoid owing to the unnecessary load that paging causes is carried out in undesirable big geographic area, and can avoid owing to the unnecessary load that requires all travelling carriages on too frequent basis, to provide positioned update to cause.
With reference to above-mentioned step 61, when the locating area in the sub-district changed, the mobile device on the locating area rank was registered on the locating area rank.Certainly, it be likely for this to sound, will be to force travelling carriage to be registered on cell level but a kind of diverse ways is arranged.This benefit is that it can be used to paging load in the sub-district bigger the time, for the quantity of the beep-page message near the sub-district reducing immediately to be distributed to, so can force (in the sub-district) mobile device all must register on cell level.Under the big paging load situation at short notice, it is very beneficial using this feature.
Although description of the invention is all carried out in conjunction with the current the most practical and preferred embodiment that are considered to, but be to be understood that, the present invention is not limited to embodiment given herein, but opposite, the present invention wishes to cover all and is included in various modifications and equivalence design within the spirit and scope that accessory claim provides.
