Definitions

  • the invention relates to the selection of a physical channel in a GSM/DCS-based cellular radio network. More specifically, the invention relates to the selection of a fixed physical control channel and to the selection of a physical traffic channel.
  • frequency planning is performed manually. The most efficient manner of utilizing the frequency band available to the network operator is then planned. Frequency planning is preliminarily performed at the planning of the network. At commissioning, the results from the frequency planning have to be checked for instance by base station coverage measurements to be performed in the terrain. This is due to the fact that theoretical modelling of the propagation of radio waves is so diffi- cult that fully reliable frequency plans cannot be provided by theoretical calculation and planning only. In particular, reflections caused by different terrain forms and buildings to a radio signal make it difficult to plan the coverage of a cell. Upon commissioning the network, frequency planning and measurements have to be performed for an expansion of the coverage area of the network or for an increase of the capacity of the network.
  • An object of the present invention is to implement a method by which the above-mentioned problems are avoided.
  • a method of performing a selection of a physical channel in a GSM/DCS-based cellular radio network which cellular radio network comprises at least one base station and at least one subscriber terminal connected to the base station by a two-way radio link, the two-way radio link being constituted by at least one fixed physical control channel downlink and at least one fixed physical control channel uplink, and by at least one physical traffic channel downlink and at least one physical traffic channel uplink, and logical channels being positioned on said physical channels, and the base station comprising a list of physical channels allowed for said base station, and in which method interference levels of the allowed physical channels are measured and the physical channels to be used for the radio link are selected on the basis of the measured interference level.
  • a first method is according to the invention characterized in that the base station selects from the allowed physical channels it has measured those channels which have the lowest interference level as fixed physical control channels.
  • a second method is according to the invention characterized in that a physical channel located at a distance of a fixed frequency spacing from the selected physical traffic channel downlink is selected as a physical traffic channel uplink.
  • a third method is according to the invention characterized in that the frequency spacing between the physical traffic channel downlink and the physical traffic channel uplink used for the radio link is of random size.
  • Another object of the invention is a system for performing a selection of a physical channel in a GSM/DCS-based cellular radio system, which cellular radio network comprises at least one base station and at least one subscriber terminal connected to the base station by a two-way radio link, the two-way radio link being constituted by at least one fixed physical control channel downlink and at least one fixed physical control channel uplink, and by at least one physical traffic channel downlink and at least one physical traffic channel uplink, and logical channels being positioned on said physical channels, and the base station being arranged to maintain a list of physical channels allowed for said base station, and the base station and/or subscriber terminal being arranged to measure interference levels of the allowed physical channels and the base station being arranged to select the physical channels to be used for the radio link on the basis of the measured interference level.
  • a first system is according to the invention characterized in that the base station is arranged to select from the allowed physical channels it has measured those channels which have the lowest interference level as fixed physical control channels.
  • a second system is according to the invention characterized in that the base station is arranged to select a physical channel located at a distance of a fixed frequency spacing from the selected physical traffic channel downlink as a physical traffic channel uplink.
  • a third system is according to the invention characterized in that the frequency spacing between the physical traffic channel downlink and the physical traffic channel uplink to be used for the radio link is of random size.

  • Figure 2 shows physical channels of a radio link and logical channels to be moved on the physical channels
  • Figure 3 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the structure of a base station and a base station controller
  • Figure 4 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the structure of a subscriber terminal.
  • the present invention is applicable to all GSM/DCS-based cellular radio networks.
  • GSM/DCS-based cellular radio networks signify a Pan- European GSM system in all different phases of development, i.e. phases 1 , 2 and 2+, DCS 1800 and DCS 1900 systems developed on the basis of the GSM system, and various projects for further development of said systems and new projects of development based on those, e.g. a UMTS system under development, if it is even partly based on the GSM system.
  • the GSM system is used as an example, but the invention is not restricted to that, however.
  • Figure 1 shows an example of the structure of a cellular radio network according to the invention.
  • Base stations 100, 102 have a hexagonal coverage area, i.e.
  • the base stations 100, 102 are possibly connected to a base station controller 114 over a connecting line 112.
  • the task of the base station controller 114 is to control the operation of several base stations 100, 102.
  • a mobile telephone exchange 116 from where there is a further connection to a public switched telephone network 118.
  • the operations of the base station 100, the base station controller 114 and even the mobile telephone exchange 116 can be joined in one device, which is then connected to the public switched telephone network 118, for instance to a telephone exchange of the public switched telephone network 118.
  • Subscriber terminals 104, 106 in a cell have a two-way radio link 108, 110 to the base station 100 of the cell.
  • the network part i.e. the fixed part of the cellular radio network
  • a two-way radio link 108 is implemented by using physical chan- nels.
  • a physical channel is for instance in GSM one time slot of a 200 kHz frequency band.
  • Figure 2 shows the channels required for the radio link 108 in a simplified manner.
  • the vertical axis illustrates the frequency range of the GSM system, a base station 100 is shown to the left in the figure and a subscriber terminal 104 to the right.
  • a lower frequency band 212 is used uplink, i.e. uplink from the subscriber terminal 104 to the base station 100.
  • the lower frequency band 212 comprises a frequency range between 890 and 915 MHz.
  • An upper frequency band 210 is used downlink, i.e. downlink from the base station 100 to the subscriber terminal 104.
  • the network operator disposes of a predetermined part of the frequency bands only, for instance a frequency band of 5 MHz, divided into 200 kHz carriers, each of them normally comprising eight time slots.
  • time slots are called physical channels.
  • two physical channels are normally used as traffic channels: one downlink channel 202 and one uplink channel 206.
  • traffic channels can be used simultaneously for data transmission or for transmitting moving video picture, for instance.
  • a logical Traffic Channel TCH is positioned on the uplink and downlink physical traffic channels 202, 206.
  • the logical traffic channel TCH can be entirely or partly replaced by a Fast Associated Control Channel FACCH relating to the traffic channel, if necessary.
  • the physical control channels downlink are Broadcast Control Channel BCCH, Frequency Correction Channel FCCH, Synchronization Channel SCH, Paging Channel PCH, Access Grant Channel AGCH, Standalone Dedicated Control Channel SDCCH and Slow Associated Control Channel SACCH.
  • the physical control channels uplink are Random Access Channel RACH, Standalone Dedicated Control Channel SDCCH and Slow Associated Control Channel SACCH. Further information on the structure and purpose of these channels is available from the GSM specifications and from the book "An introduction to GSM", S.M. Redl, M.K. Weber, M.W. Oliphant, Artech House, London, 1995, ISBN 0-89006-785-6.
  • the base station 100 maintains a list of physical channels allowed for it. At commissioning of the network, the base station 100 is provided with a list of the physical channels the base station 100 may use for traffic. Later on, when the network is in use already, the network operator changes the list of the allowed channels by means of a network management system, if he desires to do so, or some network element, for instance a base station controller 114, reorganizes automatically the lists of the frequencies allowed for the base stations 100, 102 managed by it, but yet in such a way that the scope of the frequencies allowed for the part of the network managed by the network or said base station controller 114 is maintained.
  • the list of the allowed physical channels may comprise the whole frequency range allocated to the operator, or alternatively, only part of it.
  • each base station disposes of all physical channels available to the operator, the best ones of which are selected to be used in each particular situation.
  • each base sta- tion has a small part of the operator's whole frequency range at its disposal. The use of frequencies has thereby generally been planned on a rough level.
  • the base station 100 and/or the subscriber terminal 104 checks the list of the allowed channels and measures the interference level of each physi- cal channel. This measurement is repeated randomly or periodically.
  • the measurer maintains a list of its channels.
  • the list may be implemented in many different ways, for instance such that the channels are divided into different classes, e.g. into channels in use, interference-free and possible channels.
  • Another manner of implementing the list is to arrange the physical chan- nels in order such that the first channel on the list contains little or no interference, and the last channel on the list contains most interference or is in use.
  • the other channels on the list are between these extremities, arranged according to a rising interference level.
  • the base station 100 and/or the subscriber terminal 104 selects the physical channels to be used for a radio link according to measured interference level.
  • the base station 100 selects from the allowed physical channels it has measured those channels which have the lowest interference level as fixed physical control channels 200, 204. Then the base station 100 sends logical control channels on at least one low-interference physical channel 200 it has selected. Accordingly, the base station 100 uses low-interference physical channels when transmitting for instance control channels important for the establishment of a connection. The quality of the sen/ice received by the user improves, because the subscriber terminal 104 is able to establish a connection 108 to the base station 100 more reliably.
  • the subscriber terminal 104 uses low-interference physical control channels 204 selected by the base station 100.
  • the fixed physical control channels are typically selected at the commissioning of the base station or when the network topology changes.
  • the base station 100 possibly signals the physical channels it has selected to the base station controller 114. Then the base station controller 114 informs the neighbouring base stations 102 of said base station 100 of which physical channels said base station 100 uses.
  • the base station 100 may detect training sequences contained in a transmission unit, i.e. a burst, to be used for transmitting a physical channel and select for its use at least one training sequence not used by the neighbouring base stations 102 and signal it to the base station controller 114.
  • a training sequence is a bit sequence, which is known both by the base station 100 and the subscriber terminal 104 and which helps receivers to be synchronized with a burst received.
  • part of the signalling to be performed normally on separate physical control channels 200, 204 can be moved to be performed on the physical traffic channel 202, 206 already selected. Then the capacity of the SDCCH channel is saved such that, at the establishment of a radio link 108, a handover takes place from the RACH channel directly to the selected traffic channel 202, 206. The signalling needed for the establishment of the link 108 is then performed on the traffic channel 202, 206. No physical SDCCH channel is needed at all, but the FACCH channel relating to the traffic channel 202, 206 of the link is used for signalling. The coverage of the traffic channel 202, 206 can be estimated better than that of the control channels 200, 204, because the link has only two parties on the traffic channel, while several different subscriber terminals 104, 106 may use the same control channels.
  • the subscriber terminal 104 selects from the allowed physical channels it has measured that channel which has the lowest interference level as the physical channel downlink 202. Accordingly, the subscriber terminal 104 measures interference levels of physical channels at allowed frequencies. In system information, the subscriber terminal 104 has received from the base station 100 an information on which are the allowed channels from among which the subscriber terminal may select its traffic channels. The subscriber terminal 104 maintains a list of its channels. The list is for instance similar to the list described above and maintained by the base station 100.
  • the physical traffic channel downlink 202 and the physical traffic channel uplink 206 to be used for the radio link 108 may be selected separately, if the frequency spacing between them is of random size. This means that for instance a fixed duplex spacing of 45 MHz used in GSM standard is not necessarily valid, but both the downlink and the uplink traffic channel are selected in such a way that the interference is as low as possible. Either the subscriber terminal 104 or the base station 100 then selects from the allowed physical channels measured by the base station 100 that channel which has the lowest interference level. If a fixed duplex spacing is used, a physical channel located at a distance of a fixed frequency spacing from the selected physical channel downlink is selected as the physical channel uplink.
  • a selection of traffic channel 202, 206 comes into question at the establishment of a link 108, but also at a handover.
  • a handover may be an in- tra-cell handover, i.e. a handover from a physical channel to another one inside a cell, owing to an excessive deterioration of the quality of said channel on account of increased interference, for example.
  • An inter-cell handover is also possible, which means that the link 108 is handed over from one base station 100 to another base station 102.
  • the subscriber terminal utilizes the system information spread by the base station 100 while selecting a traffic channel 202, 206.
  • the system information spread by the base station 100 means an information the base station 100 spreads on some logical control channel by a transmission of broadcast type.
  • the system information may vary, depending on the implementation.
  • the system information contains a list of allowed channels.
  • the list of allowed channels is intended for being used by the subscriber terminal 104, 106 in order that the terminal may select its traffic chan- nel 202, 206 in the above manner.
  • the system information may contain the type of each neighbouring base station 102.
  • the system information may contain a list of channels allowed for each neighbouring base station 102. On said channels, the subscriber terminal 104 performs measurements of the radio field it has received and possibly also interference measurements, being thus prepared for a possible handover.
  • the system information may contain the identification data of the physical channel including the BCCH channel of each neighbouring base station, for instance the frequency and also the time slot in case of synchronic cellular ra- dio network.
  • the subscriber terminal 104 does not need to measure all the channels disposed by the neighbouring base station 102, but the subscriber terminal 104 measures the radio field it has received only on physical channels including the BCCH channel.
  • the system information may contain information on the interference levels of the physical traffic channels uplink. In this way, the subscriber terminal 104 finds out how the coverages of said channels are towards the base station 100; the subscriber terminal 104 utilizes this information when selecting its traffic channels in the above manner.
  • the system information may contain a list of allocated physical channels. The subscriber terminal 104 is thus informed of which channels are allocated already. No interference measurements of these channels are necessary any longer, but the subscriber terminal 104 marks them as allocated.
  • the system information may contain a quality threshold for channel selection.
  • Quality threshold for channel selection signifies that limit of the interference level below which a channel is at disposal and above which a channel includes too much interference for a reliable traffic.
  • the system information may contain a quality threshold for an intra- cell handover. This threshold signifies that limit of the interference level of a radio link above which the subscriber terminal 104 requests the base station 100 to move over to another channel having a better coverage.
  • the system information may also contain a margin for an inter-cell handover.
  • the subscriber terminal 104 When the subscriber terminal 104 is active and uses discontinuous transmission, it 104 may perform measurements of the neighbouring base sta- tions 102 during a break in its transmission, in order to discover the need of a possible inter-cell handover.
  • the subscriber terminal 104 selects the physical channels to be used for a frequency hopping sequence.
  • the method of the invention also functions in a GSM/DCS-based cellular radio network using frequency hopping.
  • the subscriber terminal 104 When the subscriber terminal 104 selects the traffic channels, it may request the base station for an acceptance of the physical traffic channel it has proposed. The subscriber terminal 104 then signals on the RACH channel to the base station 100 the identification data of the at least one physical channel it has selected, i.e. it signals which at least one selected physical channel with low interference level it wishes to use as a traffic channel. This may take place at the establishment of a connection, both when a mobile- originated call and a mobile-terminated call are concerned. This may also take place during a call, whereby the signalling associated with a hand-over is performed on the FACCH channel relating to an old traffic channel.
  • the base sta- tion 100 signals on an AGCH channel, whether it accepts the at least one traffic channel proposed by the subscriber terminal 104.
  • the subscriber terminal 104 may move to start trafficking on the proposed at least one traffic channel immediately after the subscriber terminal 104 has received an acceptance of the proposed at least one traffic channel from the base station.
  • the signalling associated with the establishment of a connection is then performed on the traffic channel. It is also possible that the signalling associated with the establishment of a connection is performed in a normal manner described in GSM standard, and not until then, the use of the proposed traffic channel begins.
  • the base station 100 rejects the traffic channel proposed by the subscriber terminal 104, the subscriber terminal 104 proposes some other at least one traffic channel.
  • the base station 100 may reject the traffic channel proposed by the subscriber terminal 104, if the quality of said channel is not good enough for trafficking from the viewpoint of the base station.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une sélection d'un canal physique dans un réseau de radiocommunication cellulaire basé sur GSM/DCS. Plus spécifiquement, l'invention concerne une sélection de canal de commande physique fixe et une sélection de canal de trafic physique. La station de base (100) comprend une liste de canaux physiques attribués à cette station de base (100). Dans le procédé selon l'invention, des niveaux d'interférence de canaux physiques attribués sont mesurés et les canaux physiques à utiliser pour une liaison hertzienne (108) sont sélectionnés sur la base du niveau d'interférence mesuré. La station de base (100) sélectionne parmi les canaux physiques attribués qu'elle a mesurés ceux qui possèdent le niveau d'interférence le plus bas et les prend comme canaux de commande physique fixes. Selon la situation, le terminal d'abonné(104) et éventuellement la station de base (100) sélectionnent les canaux de trafic physique. Un canal physique situé à distance d'un espacement des fréquences fixe à partir de la liaison descendante du canal de trafic physique sélectionné est sélectionné comme liaison montante de canal de trafic physique, ou alors, l'espacement des fréquences entre les canaux de trafic physique entre une liaison descendante et une liaison montante est de taille aléatoire.
