Definitions

  • This invention pertains to trunked radio systems, wherein certain channels are allocated from time to time for voice traffic, and other channels are allocated from time to time for data messages, and certain subscriber units are arranged to operate in either a voice mode or one of several data modes.
  • these voice/data subscriber units are referred to as subscriber units.
  • subscriber units can only communicate on one channel at a time and, consequently, when they are communicating on a voice channel, they are incapable of simultaneously receiving a data message on a data channel.
  • Current radio systems wait until the subscriber unit terminates the voice session and then attempt to deliver the data message to the subscriber unit on a data channel.
  • the subscriber unit may pre-select operation in either a message-waiting mode or a data pre-empt mode.
  • the communications system will inform an active voice mode subscriber unit when data messages are waiting to be sent to that subscriber unit. Thereafter, the communications system will, for a limited time interval, hold the message for the subscriber unit and wait for a response from the subscriber unit on a data channel. If the system receives such a response within this time interval, the system will transmit the data message to the subscriber unit on the data channel.
  • This mode allows the subscriber to continue communicating on the voice channel, at least for the limited time interval, and still receive the data message.
  • the system in the data pre-empt mode, the system will inform an active voice mode subscriber unit that a data message exists and the subscriber unit will automatically cease communicating on the voice channel. The subscriber unit will then automatically operate on a data channel and receive the data message as sent by the system.
  • the message-waiting mode and the pre-empt mode can be selected by the subscriber unit operator in one embodiment, or can be made system-controllable in another embodiment.
  • Fig. 1 is a block diagram of the trunked voice/data communication system
  • Fig. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating the steps of the present invention executed by the fixed-end equipment of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating the steps of the present invention executed by a voice/data subscriber unit of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 1 shows a block diagram of a trunked voice/data communication system (100) using the present invention.
  • the centralized or fixed-end equipment embodying the present invention includes a network controller (108) , a voice channel (104B) , and a data channel (104C) .
  • Fig. 1 also depicts a voice/data subscriber unit (114) .
  • the operation of trunked radio communications systems is generally well understood in the art, and hence no additional description will be provided here except where specific description of the system is pertinent to understanding the invention.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the steps (200) of the present invention as executed by the network controller (108) .
  • the process begins (201) when the controller (108) receives a data message intended for voice/data subscriber unit (114) .
  • the network controller determines (202) whether the target subscriber unit is presently communicating on a voice channel. If not, the controller transmits the data message (210) to the subscriber unit.
  • the controller sends a paging message (203) to the subscriber unit (114) on the voice channel.
  • This paging message preferably will be non-audible to thereby avoid undue disturbance to the voice communication in progress.
  • the paging message could occupy a subaudible portion of the communication channel (in the art, this typically means the message will take the form of a signal having a frequency less than 300 Hz) .
  • the controller then waits for a brief period of time (204), such as l second. The waiting period serves two purposes. First, this period tends to insure that the subscriber has time to successfully receive and interpret the paging message.
  • this waiting period tends to insure that the subscriber unit has adequate time to cease communicating on the voice channel (104B) and commence communicating on the data channel (104C) .
  • the controller assumes the subscriber unit has received the paging message and, in the case of the pre-empt mode, the controller further assumes that the subscriber unit has acquired the data channel.
  • the controller (108) determines (204) whether the subscriber unit has previously selected the data pre-empt mode or the message-waiting mode. In a typical embodiment, this determination may be accomplished by storing this information in any convenient memory storage means and, whenever this information is needed, accessing this information.
  • the paging message from the controller (108) can include an indication of the priority of the data message, or even an instruction that causes the subscriber unit to automatically select one mode or the other. For example, high priority data messages could justify causing the subscriber unit to select the pre-empt mode.
  • the controller transmits the data message (210) to the subscriber unit (114) . If the message-waiting mode has been selected, the controller will wait for at least a time interval (such as 10 minutes) . During this time the controller holds the data message, and waits for the subscriber unit to respond on the data channel. If the subscriber unit (114) responds on the data channel within this time interval, the controller transmits the data message (210) to the subscriber unit (114) .
  • a time interval such as 10 minutes
  • the controller ceases its present attempt to transmit the data message (207).
  • Fig. 3 illustrates the steps (300) of the present invention as executed by the voice/data subscriber unit (114).
  • the subscriber unit is communicating on a voice channel (104B) and concurrently receives a paging message (301) from the network controller (108) as described above in Fig. 2.
  • the subscriber unit now determines (302) whether it has previously selected the data pre-empt mode, or the message-waiting mode, and/or whether one of these modes has been commanded by the controller.
  • the subscriber unit ceases communicating (310) on the voice channel, and begins communicating on the data channel to await the receipt of a data message from the controller (108) . If the message waiting mode has been selected instead, the subscriber unit can optionally inform the operator of the existence of the waiting data message (303) . This can be accomplished, for example, through use of an indicator light. The subscriber unit then continues communicating on the voice channel (104B) until the operator concludes that communication.
  • the subscriber unit can acquire a data channel (307) and transmit a message to the network controller (108) indicating that the subscriber unit is ready to receive the data message.
  • the subscriber unit (114) may elect not to respond on the data channel and thereby disregard the paging message.
  • the subscriber unit operator In use, in the message-waiting mode, if the subscriber unit operator is not communicating on a voice channel when the communications system acquires a data message for him, it will deliver it to him automatically on a data channel. On the other hand, if the operator is communicating on a voice channel when the communications system acquires a data message for him, it will inform him of this on the voice channel. The operator, having been so informed, will know that he has exactly 10 minutes to retrieve the data message on the data channel, or else the data message may be lost.

Abstract

Système permettant de transmettre un message informatique à l'unité vocale/données d'un abonné (114) dans un système de transmission vocale/données alternée. Lorsque l'unité de l'abonné (114) est en mode vocal, le système transmet par le canal vocal un signal concernant l'existence d'un message informatique. On résout ainsi le problème de l'utilisateur en mode vocal qui ne sait pas que lesdites données sont en attente. Le système peut ensuite transmettre le message informatique par le canal de données.
