Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to communication systems, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for providing priority access service in a radiotelephone communication system.
  • Wireless communication systems are well known and consist of many types including land mobile radio, cellular radiotelephone, personal communication system (PCS), and other communication system types.
  • cellular radiotelephone communication systems for example, a number of communication cells, serviced by base transceiver stations (BTS), are typically linked to a base station controller (BSC) forming a base station system (BSS).
  • BSC base station controller
  • the BSCs are, in turn, linked to a mobile switching center (MSC) which provides a connection between BSS and a public switched telephone network (PSTN), as well as the interconnection of BSSs.
  • MSC mobile switching center
  • PSTN public switched telephone network
  • MS Mobile communication units
  • the signals are processed by the BTS, BSC and MSC to complete a communication transaction with another MS, or through the PSTN to a land line telephone user.
  • the BSS is continuously transmitting a signal via the broadcast control channel (BCCH) to all MS within its signal range.
  • BCCH broadcast control channel
  • This signal contains information necessary to allow a MS to access the system.
  • information regarding the access classes that the BSS will allow to access the system is information regarding the access classes that the BSS will allow to access the system.
  • GSM Recommendation 4.08 defines three access classes: normal access, emergency access, and special services access classes. There are ten normal access classes (random from 0-9), an emergency access class (10), and five special services access classes (11-15). Hereinafter, when referencing the emergency access class and the special services access classes cumulatively, they will be referred to as the "priority access class" as distinct from the normal access classes.
  • a MS will enter a communication cell, receive the BCCH and determine if it has the proper access class to be serviced by the BSS within that cell. If so, the MS may request service on the BSS via a one byte message signal commonly referred to as a random access burst (RAB) sent on the random access channel (RACH) to the BSS. If the MS does not receive a response to the RAB from the BSS within a time interval, the MS will time-out and issue a second RAB. For security reasons, the RAB contains very little information, and is void of information concerning the specific identity of the MS requesting service.
  • RAB random access burst
  • the BSS has no way of discerning that the second RAB is from the same MS as the first RAB and will attempt to service both of these requests when, in fact, there is only need to service one.
  • communication resources in such a system are inefficiently allocated. This phenomena may be particularly problematic in a situation where priority access is required by the MS user, in an emergency situation, for example, where the user may need immediate access to the system.
  • the one byte RAB is void of information concerning the specific identity of the MS, it does contain a single bit referred to as the emergency word (EW) which, if enabled, will distinguish the request as an emergency access request.
  • EW emergency word
  • the EW can be enabled in one of three ways: the MS has an emergency access class (10); the MS has a normal access class, but is attempting to make an emergency call (i.e. 911); or the MS has a special services access class and is attempting an emergency call such as 911.
  • the service request is identified as an emergency via the EW, the specific identity of the MS remains unknown. Therefore, the scenario of multiple RABs leading to an inefficient loading of the BSS remains valid. The result is that the BSS is operating inefficiently at a time when the user needs the prompt service of the BSS the most.
  • FIG. 1 generally depicts a block diagram of a cellular radiotelephone communication system suitable for incorporating priority access service in accordance with the present invention
  • FIG. 2 depicts an example flow chart illustrating an embodiment of the prior art call processing sequence for a normal access service request
  • FIG. 3 generally depicts a block diagram of a radiotelephone communication system incorporating the priority access service feature in accordance with the present invention
  • FIG. 4 provides an example flow chart illustrating an embodiment of the priority access service in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 5 generally depicts an illustration of the RAB structure as defined in GSM Recommendation 4.08.
  • FIG. 6 generally depicts a relationship between the indicator and the ratio of the number of emergency service requests received to the number of communication channels available within a communication system.
  • a communication system 115 receives a paging signal 103 from a mobile station 100 requesting service and, if the paging signal 103 contains information identifying the service request as an emergency 502, a communication channel in a base transceiver station 105,107,109 is directly allocated to service the mobile station 100. If a communication channel is not immediately available, the communication system 115 will try to make a communication channel available.
  • a distinct aspect of the communication system 115 is that it monitors an indicator 600 representative of the emergency call traffic on the communication system 115. Based upon the status of the indicator 600, the communication system 115 takes appropriate measures 440 to provide priority service for those mobile stations 100 having a priority access class.
  • the communication system 115 efficiently allocates the communication resource to the mobile stations 100 with priority access classes which need those resources urgently.
  • the invention comprises a communication system 115 which allocates a communication channel in the system to a user 100 requesting emergency service 502.
  • the communication system 115 accomplishes this by, first, receiving a signal 103 from the user 100 which contains emergency service information 502. Based upon the status of the emergency service information 502 contained within this signal 103, the communication system 115 will directly allocate a communication channel to service the emergency service request rather than wasting time going through the standard call processing sequence of FIG. 2.
  • the communication system 115 will allocate a control channel to temporarily house the emergency service request while simultaneously freeing up a voice channel, thereby creating a newly available communication channel.
  • the newly available communication channel is then allocated to the emergency service request.
  • Another aspect to this communication system 115 is that it proactively limits access to those users with a priority access class in times of emergency 440.
  • the communication system 115 accomplishes this by receiving a plurality of signals 103 from a corresponding plurality of users 100 with a priority access class; monitoring an indicator 600 which represents the emergency call traffic on the communication system 115; and, when the indicator 600 reaches a certain threshold, denying access to the communication system 115 to all but those users with a priority access classification
  • the communication system 115 will track an indicator 600 representative of the emergency access load on the communication system 115 and, upon reaching a threshold, will deny all but priority access requests 440 thereby providing optimal service for these users.
  • the present invention is described in an exemplary embodiment associated with a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), time division multiple access (TDMA) radiotelephone communication system. It will be appreciated by one skilled in the art that the present invention may be applicable to any radiotelephone communication system type, for example analog, code division multiple access (CDMA), or other TDMA types.
  • GSM Global System for Mobile Communication
  • TDMA time division multiple access
  • FIG. 1 herein is depicted a block diagram of an example cellular radiotelephone communication system suitable for incorporating priority access service in accordance with the present invention. Shown in FIG. 1 is a radiotelephone communication system which includes a plurality of base transceiver stations (BTS) 105-109 serviced by a base station controller (BSC) 111, which make up a base station system (BSS) 115.
  • BTS base station controller
  • the BSC 111 is coupled to an mobile switch center (MSC) 120 which in turn is coupled to a public switched telephone network (PSTN) 130.
  • MSC mobile switch center
  • PSTN public switched telephone network
  • MS 100 Mobile stations (one of which is shown as MS 100) operate in communication cells serviced by BTSs 105-109 and communicate with one of BTSs 105-109 via radio frequency (RF) signals 103 in a known manner. Calls originating with, or terminating at, a MS 100 are processed through the MSC 120 to either a wireline telephone customer linked to PSTN 130 or other radiotelephone communication system users serviced by MSC 120 or other MSCs (not shown).
  • RF radio frequency
  • mobile stations (MS) 100 serviced by the BSS 115 are assigned access classes, for managing access to the BSS.
  • the MS 100 will transmit a signal 103, commonly referred to as a page, to all BTSs 105-
  • the page is referred to as a random access burst (RAB), an eight bit (one byte) message sent by a MS 100 to all of the BTSs 105-109 within a BSS 115 requesting service.
  • RAB random access burst
  • EW emergency word
  • an example representation of the 8-bit RAB 500 structure is shown identifying the 3-bit EW 502 within the RAB 500.
  • the EW 502 may be enabled in one of three ways: the MS 100 has an emergency access class; the MS 100 has a normal access class, but is attempting to make an emergency call (i.e. 911); the MS 100 has a special services access class and is attempting an emergency call such as 911. Therefore, although the BSS 115 does not know the specific identity of the MS 100, it does know that the service request is an emergency when the EW 502 contained within the RAB 500 is enabled. In the preferred embodiment, when the EW 502 is enabled as identified above, it will be set to logic state "1" and, conversely, will be set to logic state "0" when disabled.
  • FIG. 2 a depiction of a flow chart illustrating an example embodiment of the prior art call processing sequence for a normal access service request is shown.
  • a MS 100 requests access on a BSS 115 it will send a signal 103 requesting normal service (i.e. the EW is not enabled), as shown in step 200.
  • the BSS 115 will allocate an available control channel to the MS 100 in response to this random request for service and signal the MS 100 that the BSS 115 has accepted its request for service 206.
  • a control channel is incapable of processing audio calls it may only be used for signaling purposes.
  • the BSS 115 will signal the MSC 120 that the BSS 115 has an incoming call from a MS 100 so that in step 210, the MSC 120 may determine whether audio service is required. Unlike the control channel, the communication channel is capable of processing audio calls as well as signaling information. If, in step 212, the MSC 120 determines that a communication channel is not required, the control channel will handle the call 220. Alternatively, when in step 212 it is determined that a communication channel is required, the MSC 120 will inform the BSS 115 in step 214 that a communication channel is required. In step 216, the BSS 115 will determine which communication channel to allocate and inform the MS 100 via the control channel to tune to a specific frequency to access the communication channel 218 thereupon freeing the control channel.
  • control channel will hereinafter be referred to as a stand-alone dedicated control channel (SDCCH), while the communication channel will be referred to as a traffic channel
  • SDCCH stand-alone dedicated control channel
  • a signal 103 containing the RAB 500 is sent from the MS 100 to a BTS 105-109 antenna 502.
  • the received signal 103 is routed through an amplifier 304 to the channel equalizer /detector 306 which senses the presence of RAB 500 within the signal 103.
  • the communication channel determination /allocation device 310 determines if the RAB 500 within the incoming signal 103 has the EW 502 enabled and, if so, will allocate the MS 100 to an available TCH.
  • the communication channel determination/allocation device 310 determines if a SDCCH is available and, if so, allocate it to the MS 100 while simultaneously tearing down a TCH for use by the MS 100. If the communication channel determination /allocation device 310 determines that a SDCCH is not available, it will adjust an indicator 600 to account for the emergency call request in anticipation of future call requests. Once a TCH has been made available, the TCH will function in the known fashion 308,312,330,320,318,316 and 314.
  • the communication channel determination /allocation device 310 is only used to determine if a TCH is available and, if so, allocate it to the MS while keeping a constant track, in the form of the indicator 600, of the number of emergency service requests that are received by the BSS.
  • FIG. 4 provides an example flow chart illustrating an embodiment of the priority access service in accordance with the invention.
  • the BSS 115 will receive a signal 103 from the MS 100 containing a RAB 500.
  • the BSS 115 will determine that the EW 502 of the RAB 500 sent by the MS 100 will be enabled and, after adjusting an indicator 404, the request will be immediately handled by any available TCH 408-412 which will signal the MS 100 that the BSS 115 has accepted its request, thereby providing optimal access for the emergency request.
  • one improvement made by this invention over the prior art is that when the BSS 115 receives a RAB 500 with the EW 502 enabled indicating an emergency service request, the request will be handled immediately by any available TCH, instead of the SDCCH, thereby minimizing the time required to complete the call origination.
  • the BSS 115 If, in step 408, the BSS 115 does not have an available TCH, it will allocate an available SDCCH 414-418 which will signal the MS 100 that the BSS 115 has accepted its request (just as in a normal random request for service) and begin to "tear down" a TCH carrying a non- emergency call 420.
  • the "tear down" procedure closes the communication path between a MS 100 and the BSS 115, thereby freeing a communication channel.
  • the newly available TCH will be made available to the MS 100 temporarily resident on the SDCCH 422-424.
  • the MS 100 When a BSS 115 does not allocate a SDCCH or a TCH to an emergency call at step 416, the MS 100 will not receive any response to its initial RAB 500. The MS 100 will time-out waiting for the BSS 115 to respond and, in step 416 will issue another RAB 500. Therefore, the BSS 115 may receive multiple RABs 500 from the same MS 100. Thus when a cell is heavily utilized, several non-emergency calls could be terminated in an effort to free one TCH for a repeat emergency RAB 500.
  • FIG. 6 depicts one example of an indicator metric 600 that the BSS may employ in tracking the emergency call load placed on a system. Specifically, FIG. 6 represents an indicator 600 that is defined as being related to the ratio of the number of emergency service requests in a given amount of time 602 to the number of communication channels available in a given BSS 604.
  • the invention herein claimed makes two distinct improvements over the prior art.

Abstract

Un système (115) de télécommunications reçoit un signal (193) de téléappel envoyé par un poste mobile (100) demandant un service et, si le signal (103) de téléappel contient des informations permettant d'identifier la demande de service comme une urgence (502), un canal de transmission est directement attribué dans un poste (105, 107, 109) d'émetteur-récepteur de base pour servir le poste mobile (100). Si un canal de transmission n'est pas immédiatement disponible, le système (115) de télécommunications essaie de libérer un canal de transmission pour qu'il soit disponible. Une autre caractéristique de ce système (115) de télécommunications réside dans le fait qu'il surveille un indicateur (600) représentant le trafic d'appels d'urgence dans le système (115) de télécommunications. Selon l'état de l'indicateur (600) le système (115) de télécommunications adopte les mesures appropriées (440) pour donner le service prioritaire aux postes mobiles (100) possédant la classe d'accès prioritaire. Ce type d'accès au service prioritaire permet au système (115) de télécommunications d'attribuer efficacement la ressource de communication aux postes mobiles (100) ayant des classes d'accès prioritaires qui nécessitent ces ressources de manière urgente.
