According to the embodiment of Fig. 1, so control unit 107 is formed for the monitoring communication unit of ambience listening service, the monitored communication unit of remote unit 101 formation ambience listening services.In addition, except excitation and the operation of termination ambience listening, control unit 107 also changes the call transmitter method of monitored remote unit 101.Therefore, control unit 107 can generate the transmission parameter order, when remote unit 101 receives this transmission parameter order, will therefore make transmission parameter is set.Therefore, control unit provides extra control, allows the flexibility of improved performance and increase.Specifically, control unit 107 can generate the transmission parameter order, works as precondition so that the change transmission parameter mates.
In certain embodiments, can be according to the algorithm that is fit to, by control unit 107, automatically determine the determining of transmission parameter of transmission parameter order and/or expectation.Yet, in other embodiments, can semi-automatically determine or the transmission parameter of transmission parameter order and/or expectation is determined in the artificially.For example, ambience listening controller 119 can be realized user's interface device, allows the operator directly to import the absolute or relative transmission parameter and/or the transmission parameter order of expectation.In some this embodiment, user interface can also make the user can select transmission parameter or the transmission parameter order that is fit in response to these parameters with giving the user about the state of ambience listening service or remote unit 101 or the information representation of characteristic thus.User interface for example can comprise display, keyboard and/or pointing device.
Should be understood that the transmission parameter that can occur and revise can depend on particular characteristics and the needs relevant with single embodiment in different embodiment.Hereinafter, specifically with reference to the embodiment of Fig. 1, explanation can monitored communication unit the example of the transmission parameter of influence or control separately or in combination.
In certain embodiments, the transmitted power parameter can remotely be controlled or influence to control unit 107.Particularly, can send the transmission parameter order by control unit 107, control environment and monitor the transmitted power of data transmission in network telephony, in response to this transmission parameter order, transmission control unit (TCU) 115 is determined suitable transmitted power.The transmission parameter order can directly instruct transmission control unit (TCU) 115 through-put powers to be set to given rank, perhaps increases or reduce the transmitted power specified rate.
The quality that reduces in ambience listening information is under the acceptable situation, and this allows control unit 107 to reduce transmitted power.For example,, can temporarily reduce transmitted power, reduce the temperature of power consumption and remote unit 101 thus if do not hear ambient sound, and the influence that is produced.Although can introduce the noise of increase, during the quiet cycle, this is acceptable normally.
In certain embodiments, the data transfer rate of ambience listening data can remotely be controlled or influence to control unit 107.Can change data transfer rate by changing source code rate and/or channel encoding rate.For example, during the quiet cycle, can reduce data transfer rate, but cause the quality acceptable signal that reduces.For example, remote unit 101 can comprise High Data Rate sound (voice) encoder and low rate vocoder, and transmission control unit (TCU) can switch between them in response to the transmission parameter order that receives from control unit 107.Similarly, remote unit 101 can comprise high speed channel encoder and low rate channel encoder, and transmission control unit (TCU) can switch between them in response to the transmission parameter order.
Should be understood that in certain embodiments transmission control unit (TCU) can or change a plurality of these parameters independently of one another with combination.For example, the transmission parameter order can comprise that indication remote unit 101 switches to the order of quiet operation pattern.When receiving this order, transmission control unit (TCU) 115 can control transmitter 109 and switch to low data rate encoder far away and High Data Rate channel encoder (preferably causing and identical before channel data rates).The chnnel coding that increases allows to carry out this transmission with low-down transmitting power, causes reducing significantly power consumption, temperature rising and interference thus.In addition, because the source rate that reduces, though, receive reliable environmental sound signal at control unit 107 with lower quality.
In certain embodiments, can be in response to the transmission parameter order, the transmission continuity parameter of the monitored data that controls environment.For example, transmission control unit (TCU) 115 can be in response to receiving suitable transmission parameter order, continuing to be transferred between the intermittent transmission of ambience listening data and switch in the ambience listening data.
Can be discontinuously or send off and among the embodiment of ambience listening data at some, can change the time response of discontinuous transmission.For example, can send suitable transmission parameter order to remote unit 101, the duration that increases or reduce to transmit by control unit 107.In some this embodiment, source encoder can generate the data of arranging with the importance of successively decreasing.In each acoustic coding frame, can generate first group of data bit, this first group of data bit is important, the second group of data bit of can encoding for the sound that reproduces coding, this second group of data bit do not have significant quality to reduce for reproducing sound be important and the 3rd group of data bit of can encoding, and the 3rd group of data bit only provides relatively little quality improvement.In this embodiment, can send the transmission parameter order from control unit 107, this causes only sending the transmitting continuous time of the ambience listening data that allow first group of data.This will allow to reproduce low quality sound at control unit 107, cause low power consumption, temperature to increase and interference simultaneously, and for example can be suitable for the quiet cycle.Improved if desired quality can send another transmission parameter order.This order can cause increasing the duration, to comprise second group of data bit equally.At last, can send the 3rd transmission parameter order, be set the duration, cause best in quality, but cost is power consumption and the interference that increases so that allow to send the total data position.
Alternatively or extraly, can or influence interval between the discontinuous transmission by control unit 107 controls.For example, the duration of individual data transmission can keep substantial constant, can change the effective data rate of ambience listening data simultaneously by the interval between the transmission of change continuous data.
Therein by repeating among the TETRA embodiment that time slot forms the ambience listening Traffic Channel, can in some time slot, send data and obtain interval between the ambience listening transfer of data by ignoring.For example, can use the transmission parameter orders, make the ambience listening transfer of data use each time slot, use of per two time slots or use of per four time slots by control unit 107.By this way, control unit 107 can be controlled the effective data rate from the transmission of the ambience listening data of remote unit 101, and the trading off between monitoring quality and power consumption, heating and the interference that therefore can control environment.
Although should be understood that in certain embodiments and can control these parameters fully, only comprise that in other embodiments the transmission parameter order is as the parameter in the determining of transmission parameter by control unit 107.Especially, transmission control unit (TCU) 115 can be operated the algorithm that is used for determining suitable transmission parameter, and it comprises determining of characteristic, parameter and number of commands.Therefore, the transmission parameter order can be by one of a plurality of input parameters of this algorithm use simply, to select and to be provided with the suitable parameters value.
Therefore a plurality of parameters can be controlled or influence to control unit 107, this can cause the minimizing of the resource consumption relevant with the transmission of ambience listening data, specifically, by reducing ambience listening transfer of data transmitting power or effective transmission time (or transmission duty ratio), can reduce power consumption and therefore running down of battery and temperature increase.In addition, reduce to increase the capacity of communication system integral body thus by the average interference that caused of transmission.In addition, under the resource consumption that reduces, support environment monitoring service still.Equally, by allowing trading off between control unit control resource use and the ambience listening quality, for current situation, this is best for providing the necessary ambience listening performance of authenticated user.Specifically, when ambience listening when not being most important, this method allows authenticated user to reduce resource to use, simultaneously, when thinking that this is important, the quality that cannot not allow compromisely.Therefore, authenticated user can be finished the ambience listening task, and does not heat or exhaust the battery of remote unit 101 significantly.
In certain embodiments, remote unit 101 is operating as in two kinds of ambience listening transmission modes and operates under the control of transmission control unit (TCU) 115.In some this embodiment, the transmission parameter order that is received can be regulated an operator scheme but not be another operation.For example, remote unit 101 can operate in usually ambience listening mode fully, wherein use all available resources, maybe can operate in the ambience listening mode that reduces, wherein remote unit 101 operates in less resource demand pattern, for example the transmitted power that reduces of subclass by only sending available time slot or use.
In some this embodiment, given transmission parameter order can only be applied to a kind of operator scheme.For example, can send the transmission parameter order, indication is when sending under the operator scheme that is reducing, and remote unit 101 should be skipped every a time slot.Alternatively, the transmission parameter order can combine with the order of the operator scheme that remote unit 101 is entered reduce.
Should understand, in some this embodiment, some transmission parameter order can be only relevant with first operator scheme, and some transmission parameter order can be only relevant with second operator scheme, and some transmission parameter order can be all relevant with two of first and second operator schemes.
In some this embodiment, transmission control unit (TCU) 115 is operating as in response to local characteristic, the operator scheme of control remote unit 101.For example, can receive the transmission parameter order, the use of the operator scheme that it enables to reduce also specifies under the operator scheme alternatively with the characteristic of using.Yet, based on local characteristic, and not receiving specific transmission parameter order, transmission control unit (TCU) 115 can switch between first and second operator schemes.Therefore, the transmission parameter order is provided with the application transport parameter by the pattern that enables to reduce, make thus when can the time, the less resource requirement transmission parameter of remote unit 101 uses.
For example, transmission control unit (TCU) 115 can comprise the sound detection element, and whether whether this sound detection element testing microphone picks up the acoustic environment of any sound or remote unit 101 quiet.In some this embodiment, when detecting sound, transmission control unit (TCU) 115 can be at operation remote unit 101 in the complete ambience listening operator scheme, and is detecting relatively when quiet, operates in the operator scheme that reduces.This can allow remote unit 101 automatically and apace to be adapted to local acoustic environment and can cause significantly reducing of power consumption, heating and interference, and does not unacceptably reduce the ambience listening service.
In certain embodiments, the sound detection element may reside in or comprise the Voice decoder of generation speech detection characteristic.This speech detection characteristic is the indication whether microphone picks up speech, if transmission control unit (TCU) can enter complete ambience listening operator scheme, otherwise enters the operator scheme that reduces.
A possible algorithm that is used for the sound detection element can be determined (on average) sound level simply.For example, can be in suitable filters filtering from the amplifying signal of microphone.The signal of filtering can compare with default volume level, if surpass the given duration, transmission control unit (TCU) 115 can enter complete ambience listening operator scheme.Similarly, if the signal of filtering given duration under predetermined threshold value, transmission control unit (TCU) 115 can be so that remote unit 101 enters the operator scheme that reduces.
Should also be understood that in certain embodiments, can determine characteristic and parameter in response to the transmission parameter order that receives from control unit 107 by the operator scheme algorithm of transmission control unit (TCU) use.For example, can be arranged on the duration of the volume threshold that must surpass before the execution pattern conversion by transmission parameter order from control unit 107.
In certain embodiments, monitored communication unit (for example remote unit 101) can send to operational parameter information monitoring communication unit (for example control unit 107).
For example, substitute to send the ambience listening data, when in the following time of operator scheme that reduces rather than in ambience listening operator scheme fully following time, monitored communication unit can send parameter information.
The extra information that operational parameter information can provide monitoring communication unit to allow its operation of controlling monitored communication unit more exactly is to be suitable for working as precondition.Therefore, in certain embodiments, ambience listening controller 119 and/or instruction control unit 121 utilize operational parameter information to determine the transmission parameter and/or the transmission parameter order of expectation.
Operational parameter information can for example be about the characteristic of monitored communication unit or the information of ambience listening performance.Specifically, operational parameter information can comprise one or more parameters that describe below.
Expectation reduces the heating of monitored communication unit, to reduce the possibility that the ambience listening operation is detected.For example, it is acceptable that temperature increases the 3-4 degree, but preferably no longer raises.Therefore, monitored communication unit can send the operational parameter information of the operating temperature indication that comprises monitored communication unit.This operating temperature can compare with desired value, if it is increased on this value, monitoring communication unit can excite the aforesaid ambience listening operation that reduces.
As previously mentioned, can reduce the power consumption of monitored communication unit by one or more transmission parameters that monitoring communication unit is controlled monitored communication unit.Yet the advantage of this operation and importance depend on the power resource that can use in monitored communication unit.
For example, if monitored communication unit is connected to external power source; For example charger or main power source adapter, monitored communication unit can have enough power resources, and by not being important by changing the power reduction that transmission parameter can obtain.Therefore, operational parameter information can comprise that the external power that is used for monitored communication unit connects indication.External power connects indication can reflect especially whether monitored communication unit is connected to external power source.If monitored communication unit is connected to external power source, monitoring communication unit can allow monitoring communication unit to continue complete ambience listening operation, yet if monitored communication unit only depends on internal power resource (battery), it will use the ambience listening operation that reduces at least in part.
In addition, operational parameter information can be extraly or is alternatively comprised the battery charge indication that is used for monitored communication unit.The battery charge indication can be indicated remaining electric charge in battery especially.For example, remaining power life-span or the percentage charge of estimating can be sent to monitoring communication unit.Monitoring communication unit can be utilized this information Control ambience listening operation.For example, when battery still has high electric charge, can utilize high-quality ambience listening with the high power consumption that is associated, otherwise, along with battery charge reduces, cause increasing the significant power consumption in ground and reduce.
Preferred transmission parameter can depend on the operator scheme of monitored communication unit, so operational parameter information can comprise the operator scheme indication that is used for monitored communication unit.Can use operator scheme by monitoring communication unit, to determine suitable transmission parameter order.
For example, in the TETRA communication system,, still can monitor by execution environment even the user closes monitored communication unit.Preferred transmission parameter depends on whether open monitored communication unit, therefore can comprise the On/Off indication in sending to the operational parameter information of monitoring communication unit.
Can be at any suitable time transmit operation parameter information.In certain embodiments, can be by monitored communication unit transmit operation parameter information, and without any the reciprocation of monitoring communication unit.Yet, in other embodiments, can be in response to request from monitoring communication unit, transmit operation parameter information extraly or alternatively.Therefore, monitoring communication unit can send to monitored communication unit with the operational parameter information request message.When receiving this request message, monitored communication unit correspondingly sends to monitoring communication unit with operational parameter information.This allows monitoring communication unit to determine when needs new information, and can allow the only transmission of executable operations parameter information when needs or expectation.
