  • Figure 7 is a schematic topology of part of the preferred network showing four cells each having a base station and subscriber units.
  • the preferred system is part of a telephone system in which the local wired loop from exchange to subscriber has been replaced by a full duplex radio link between a fixed base station and fixed subscriber unit.
  • the preferred system includes the duplex radio link, and transmitters and receivers for implementing the necessary protocol.
  • GSM digital cellular mobile telephone systems
  • This system uses a protocol based on a layered model, in particular the following layers; PHY (Physical), MAC (Medium Access Control), DLC (Data Link Control), NWK (Network).
  • GSM Global System for Mobile communications
  • Each base station in the preferred system provides six duplex radio links at twelve frequencies chosen from the overall frequency allocation, so as to minimise interference between base stations nearby.
  • the frame structure and timing for the duplex link is illustrated in Figure 2.
  • Each duplex radio link comprises an up-link from a subscriber unit to a base station and, at a fixed frequency offset, a down-link from the base station to the subscriber unit.
  • the down-links are TDM, and the up-links are TDMA.
  • Modulation for all links is ⁇ /4 - DQPSK, and the basic frame structure for all links is ten slots per frame of 2560 bits i.e. 256 bits per slot.
  • the bit rate is 512kbps.
  • Down-links are continuously transmitted and incorporate a broadcast channel for essential system information. When there is no user information to be transmitted, the down-link transmissions continue to use the basic frame and slot structure and contain a suitable fill pattern.
  • Each down-link normal slot comprises 24 bits of synchronisation information followed by 24 bits designated S-field which includes an 8 bit header, followed by 160 bits designated D-field. This is followed by 24 bits of Forward Error Correction and an 8 bit filler, followed by 12 bits of the broadcast channel.
  • the broadcast channel consists of segments
  • each down-link pilot slot contains frequency correction data and a training sequence for receiver initialisation, with only a short S-field and no D-field information.
  • Up-link slots basically contain two different types of data packet.
  • the first type of packet called a pilot packet
  • a connection is set up, for example, for an ALOHA call request and to allow adaptive time alignment.
  • the other type of data packet called a pilot packet
  • a normal packet is used when a call has been established and is a larger data packet, due to the use of adaptive time alignment.
  • Each up-link normal packet contains a data packet of 244 bits which is preceded and followed by a ramp of 4 bits duration. The ramps and the remaining bits left of the 256 bit slot provide a guard gap against interference from neighbouring slots due to timing errors. Each subscriber unit adjusts the timing of its slot transmissions to compensate for the time it takes signals to reach the base station.
  • Each up-link normal data packet comprises 24 bits of synchronisation data followed by an S-field and D-field of the same number of bits as in each down-link normal slot.
  • Each up-link pilot slot contains a pilot data packet which is 192 bits long preceded and followed by 4 bits ramps defining an extended guard gap of 60 bits. This larger guard gap
  • the pilot packet comprises 64 bits of sync followed by 104 bits of S-field which starts with an 8 bit header and finishes with a 16 bit Cyclic Redundancy Check, 2 reserved bits, 14 FEC bits, and 8 tail bits. There is no D-field.
  • the S-field in the above mentioned data packets can be used for two types of signalling.
  • the first type is MAC signalling (MS) and is used for signalling between the MAC layer of the base station and the MAC layer of a subscriber unit whereby timing is important.
  • the second type is called associated signalling, which can be slow or fast and is used for signalling between the base station and subscriber units in the DLC or NWK layers.
  • the D-field is the largest data field, and in the case of normal telephony contains digitised speech, but can also contain non-speech data samples.
  • General encryption is provided by combining the speech or data with a non -predictable sequence of cipher bits produced by a key stream generator which is synchronised to the transmitted super-frame number.
  • the transmitted signal is scrambled to remove dc components.
  • a typical topology of base stations/subscriber units is shown in Figure 3.
  • Automatic Power Control operates in the following manner for all MAC channels.
  • the subscriber unit begins transmitting at a predetermined power (see below).
  • the received power at a base station is measured and adjustment commands sent to the subscriber unit.
  • the subscriber unit responds to these commands by changing its transmit power by the increment suggested by the base station.
  • the base station measures the received power for the duration of the call and sends appropriate commands to the subscriber unit.
  • the base station At start-up of a connection at the MAC level, the base station measures the received signal strength of transmissions from a particular subscriber unit for a short period (0.25s). This gives a measurement the accuracy of which depends on the propagation conditions but is typically not expected to be greater than the largest range (threshold j) as shown in figure 4. If the received signal strength lies outside this range (+/-j) then the base station commands the subscriber unit to alter its transmit power.
  • a longer measurement period is used to provide a more accurate measurement of the mean received signal strength.
  • the base station commands a change in transmit power from the subscriber unit.
  • the third measurement period is the one used in all subsequent measurements and allows the most accurate measurement of mean received power. If the transmit power moves outside the (+/-n) range then the base station will command the subscriber unit to alter its transmit power.
  • FIG. 5 A typical process including each of the three above thresholds is illustrated in figure 5. This shows the case where the first 0.25s measurement of base station received signal
  • a first power change command is sent which adjusts the subscriber unit transmit power such that the signal strength received at the base station is within the (+/-k) range but not the (+/-n) range.
  • a further power change command results after the third measurement period should the mean received signal strength lie outside the (+/-n) range.
  • calculation of initial transmit power is performed in the subscriber unit using information from several eg. four or five previous calls. This is possible because, in the preferred network, the subscriber units are fixed.
  • Automatic power control in the preferred embodiment of the present invention optimises power levels by increasing as well as reducing transmit power from a subscriber unit.
  • the initial transmit power is determined at the subscriber unit based on the history of a number of calls on a particular RF carrier frequency. For each RF carrier frequency, initial
  • transmit power is stored such that it is possible to set a different transmit power from the subscriber unit for each RF carrier frequency that could be used.
  • periodic power measurements are made by the subscriber unit so as to determine its own power setting. These are performed at the same rate as transmit power update signals are received from the base station. Each power measurement is used to update a running mean value of the transmit power. On deestablishment of a MAC connection, the current value of the running mean is used to update the initial transmit power value stored by the subscriber unit. The update is weighted by the number of previous MAC connections that are considered. For example, if a 5 call history is used then each update contributes 1/5 of its value to the initial transmit power setting. Each RF carrier signal has an associated initial transmit power value stored in respect of it. Each update will therefore only affect signals at the RF frequency on which the MAC connection was established.
  • the population of subscriber units are divided into 12 possible path loss types, based on (i) fading frequency, (ii) fade depth and (iii) signal stability. Three of these types are denoted A, B and C in Figure 6. This classification is used to control two characteristics, namely (a) the convergence thresholds to be applied in determining whether a received signal has acceptable strength and (b) how often test calls are required (see below).
  • the convergence thresholds are the +/- j, k and n ranges described previously. These ranges are chosen dependent on path loss type such that the subscriber units operating with the highest channel stability and least fade depth are given tighter tolerances than subscriber units with lesser stabilities and greater fade depths.
  • the initial transmit power from a subscriber unit is controlled using call history i.e. information of the power level acceptable for previous successful calls, as has already been discussed. It is important that customer calls are not relied upon for this process as they might well be too infrequent or old to be accurate. This could be for a number of reasons, for example, where customer is a low user or the customer is away on vacation for a long time. If no calls are made to the subscriber unit for long periods then it is possible for the initial transmit power setting to become outside the limits of what is currently acceptable. This could cause unsatisfactory levels of interference to other subscriber units and, in the worst case, could prevent subscriber units from communicating with the base station.

  • the base station In communicating with subscriber units, the base station periodically sends information specific to each subscriber unit of which RF carrier frequencies are:
  • Each subscriber unit stores this information.
  • RF frequencies are categorised as 'black' if, for example, their use by a subscriber unit in one sector of the network cell around a base station is likely to cause interference with transmissions from subscriber units in neighbouring sectors, RF frequencies are categorised as 'grey' where they provide poor quality but acceptable propagation.
  • Each subscriber unit maintains a Classified Carrier-List corresponding to the information received from the base station indicating radio frequencies that are preferred ("white”), frequencies that are only to be used due to the poor quality they provide if no preferred
  • Test calls as described above are made upon installation of a subscriber unit, and at regular intervals to each subscriber unit, on each RF carrier marked as white or grey in the classified carrier list. This ensures that the initial transmit power of the subscriber unit is up to date thereby reducing the risk of no RF carrier frequency being available for a call
  • This repetition rate of test calls to individual subscriber units is determined by considering the type classification applied to a particular subscriber unit, as described above. For example, subscriber units suffering poor propagation conditions are subject to more frequent test calls.
  • test call scheduling is designed such that 12 separate test call schedules are specified with each subscriber unit communicating with a base station being assigned one of the 12
  • a subscriber unit classified as a type with good propagation characteristics may be assigned to a schedule of a test call every 47 hours whereas one classified as a type having poor propagation characteristics may have a test call schedule involving test calls every 4 hours.
  • the reference cell is that containing base station BTE 1.
  • the available frequencies are divided into a number of subsets, denoted fsl, fs2, fs3.
  • Co-Channel Interference Cells containing base station BTE 1 and base station BTE 4 operate with the same frequency set. Transmissions from subscriber unit NTE 1 to base station BTE 1 result in co-channel interference to base station BTE 4. The exact level of interference depends on the path loss between the two cells. Nevertheless, minimising the transmit power from subscriber unit NTE 1 minimises the level of uplink interference present at base station BTE 4.
  • Adjacent Channel Interference Cells containing base stations BTE 1 , BTE 2 and BTE 3 have mutually independent frequency sets, denoted fsl , fs2 and fs3 respectively. Each frequency set consists of a number of selected frequencies denoted fn where n increases with increasing frequency. However, optimum usage of the available frequency sets will involve base stations BTE 1, BTE 2 and BTE 3 having adjacent frequencies present in the frequency sets (i.e. if selected rf frequency denoted n is used at base station BTE 1 then selected rf frequency denoted n+1 would be used by base station BTE 2 or BTE 3). Interference is possible if the power transmitted by subscriber unit NTE 1 in adjacent channels (n+1 using the notation above) is not sufficiently attenuated and the path loss between subscriber unit NTE 1 and either base station BTE 2 or base station BTE 3 is low.
  • Automatic power control involves measuring the received power level of a transmitting
  • the subscriber unit at the receiving base station over a predetermined time interval to determine the power adjustment required. Should interference occur then the measured power would be increased leading to control signals being sent to reduce the transmit power level of the subscriber unit. This overcompensation is avoided by measuring the level of interference, and only making downward adjustments to transmit power provided the interference level is below a predetermined threshold. When the interference level is too high, the base station is inhibited from sending a power decrease signal.
  • the level of interference is measured by determining received signal quality relative to received signal strength. Quality is determined by monitoring errors in received data, in particular by comparing expected and received Forward Error Correction (FEC) data or Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) data; or by evaluation of RMS vector error.
  • FEC Forward Error Correction
  • CRC Cyclic Redundancy Check
  • Vector Error is a vector estimate of difference between an expected and received symbol amplitude and phase. Vector errors for all symbols in a slot are stored and integrated to provide the Root Mean Squared (RMS) Vector Error.
  • RMS Vector Error is a scalar quantity.
