Definitions
- This invention relates to a radio communication system and in particular to such a system for use with a local area network having at least one receiver transmitter unit connected thereto for communication with one or more wireless mobile units.
- the invention has been developed in the context of an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networking infrastructure using radio communication which is capable of supporting multi-media data traffic at rates from 25 Mb/s to 2.4 Gb/s in local and wide areas.
- ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode
- the invention could also be used with other networking infrastructures .
- In a standard ATM network all units operating on the network are connected thereto by cable.
- mobile units There has, however, been an increasing demand for mobile units to be able to communicate with a network.
- These can be articles such as laptop and notebook hand-held computers, cameras, etc.
- a basic wireless network, system. is desci Lbed in our paper entitled "The ORL Radio ATM System, Azchitecture and Implementation" dated 16 January 1996 and published, on our Website_ at www.orl.co.uk.
- the network has a number of base stations or Access Points (AP) connected to a standard wired network and a plurality of mobile stations or Wireless Terminals (WT) connected to e.g., notebook and laptop computers which may be portable .
- AP Access Point
- WT Wireless Terminals
- FIG. 1 shows schematically a set of Access Points and Wireless Terminals operating in the network.
- the network 2 has the Access Points 4 connected to it.
- the Access Points themselves are physically separated and each is able to transmit and receive messages over a limited range e.g., up to oo metres.
- the area covered by transmission to and from a single Access Point is called a pico-cell 6 .
- the pico-cells overlap to ensure that all desired areas are covered by the radio system.
- the channels with which the Access Points 4 transmit and receive messages are selected so that adjacent Access Points use different radio channels and thus do not interfere with each.
- Wireless Terminals 8 operate within the pico-cells 6 and are able to move from pico cell to pico cell . They transmit and receive data from the Access Point 4 controlling the pico cell they are in. When they approach a boundary with an adjacent pico cell, a handshaking and cross-over operation takes place as they move to the adjacent pico cell and start to transmit and receive in the radio channel of that pico cell.
- a number of Access Points are located in a building to provide full coverage.
- Each Access Point communicates with the Wireless Terminals in its pico-cell .using a frame transmission structure.
- the frame structure provides time division multiplexed access to the radio channel .
- the frame is divided into two sections : during the first the Access
- the Access Points transmits firstly a preamble comprising a frame description message followed by a number of data and control messages. During the period reserved for Wireless Terminals, a number of different Wireless Terminals may transmit. These transmissions comprise data and control messages . Wireless Terminals are assigned time slots in which to transmit data messages. Wireless Terminals can be assigned specific periodic time slots in which to transmit. The Access Points and Wireless Terminals exchange request and allocation messages to assign future time slots to a WT. In addition to assigning time slots to particular transmissions, the Access Point must assign priorities to different data types and must manage the allocation of time slots in accordance with this . Some data types such as voice data require a high_priority to ensure that there is no break in a real-time transmission being sent over the radio link. Managing such a scheme presents various problems in a radio communication scheme.
- SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A preferred embodiment provides a scheme for assigning time slots to data transmissions in accordance with the priority given to the data type for transmissions from AP's to WT's and from WT's to AP's. This scheme can be implemented using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA's) and memory. It assigns slots WT by WT and prioritises transmissions for each WT.
- FPGA's Field Programmable Gate Arrays
- a further embodiment provides a scheme for synchronising the frame structures used by adjacent Access Points, i.e., giving each AP the same frame length and split between upstream and downstream traffic and synchronising transmissions.
- the frame structure can be changed as the requirements of users in terms of data transmissions change, thereby getting optimum usage of the available bandwidth.
- WT's which are close to an AP insert a variable delay prior to transmitting data to the AP to synchronise that transmission with data transmitted by WT's more distant from the AP.
- Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of network Access Points and Wireless Terminals for use in an embodiment of the invention and as described above;
- Figure 2 shows a timing diagram for a series of frames received and transmitted by a WT and AP of the scheme of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 shows a table stored in memory for prioritising transmissions;
- Figure 4 shows a register bank used in conjunction with the table of Figure 3 for scheduling transmissions
- Figure 5 shows a set of synchronised frames transmitted in adjacent pico-cells.
- the form of data transmissions between the Access Point 4 and the Wireless Terminals 8 is best understood with reference to Figure 2.
- the transmissions comprise a series of frames each having a a downstream portion in which an upstream Access Point 4 broadcasts to the WT's in its pico-cell followed by a period during which Wireless Terminals can transmit to the Access Point .
- Null periods (TTn) are provided during which the Access Point and the Wireless Terminals switch between receive and transmit modes.
- Tn Null periods
- the left-hand column shows what is happening at a WT and the right-hand column shows what is happening at an AP.
- the lighter shaded portions are AP to WT transmissions and the darker shaded portions are WT to AP transmissions .
- TTO WT to AP turnround time
- PRE Access Point Preamble (not illustrated)
- FD Frame Descriptor Map RG: Reservation Grant
- DACK Downstream Acknowledgement
- the first portion of a frame comprises a Preamble (PRE - not shown) followed by a Field Descriptor (FD) which is broadcast to all the mobile units within the pico-cell 6 controlled by a particular Access Point 4. This frame descriptor advises all the Wireless Terminals 8 of the subsequent format and duration of the frame .
- PRE Preamble
- FD Field Descriptor
- Reservation Grant slot (RG) which is used to advise WT's which ones have contended for and been granted a future transmission slot in a frame for transmission of data to the Access Point. This is an acknowledgement of a
- DACK Downstream Acknowledgement
- Wireless Terminals 8 can then transmit Upstream Reservation Requests (RR) in the next slot of the frame. If more than one terminal sends an Upstream Reservation Request at the same time, there will be contention and the Reservation Requests may be lost. This may then be followed by an Upstream Acknowledgement of downstream data cells and by any Upstream Data Cells (UCELL) to be transmitted.
- Tl null period
- RR Upstream Reservation Requests
- the minimum frame is:
- TTO PRE FD RG TT1 TTO TTO PRE FD RG TT1 TTO .
- a reservation request looks like this : .
- a burst of 4 data cells from one mobile looks like: RG TT1 rr UCELL (x4) TTO PRE FD RG DACK TT1
- a preamble portion (not illustrated) . This comprises some basic housekeeping information such as synchronisation data.
- the Access Point and Wireless Terminals use the preamble to synchronise reception and adjust automatic gain control for reception.
- the manner in which an AP deals with data transmissions having different priority is illustrated with reference to Figures 3 and 4.
- the AP stores in its local memory a table of the type shown in Figure 3. This comprises for WT to AP and for AP to WT transmissions records of the data types which can be transmitted (DTN) .
- a Flag F indicates whether or not a particular WT has requested or requires a transmission for each data type in an upstream or downstream transmission, and N is the number of data cells required for that particular transmission.
- the data types have different priorities. This example shows only 3 data types but more could be used. DTI has highest priority and DT3 lowest priority. Entries are made in this stored table for every forthcoming transmission. Entries in the table correspond to a reservation and this may correspond to any number of transmissions. The reservation is maintained and continues to generate transmission opportunities until it is removed by the WT.
- a corresponding entry is made in a register bank illustrated in Figure 4.
- This comprises a shift register for each data type for both upstream and downstream transmissions.
- the columns representing the shift registers in figure 4 correspond to the columns of the table of figure3.
- These registers are used to form a queue of forthcoming transmissions in the order in which they were requested.
- Counters are provided with the register bank to point to the start and end points of entries in the register for each data type. This is to ensure that new entries are entered in the correct place.
- the register operates as a first in first out (FIFO) register.
- the Access Point When allocating data cells in a frame, the Access Point will first allocate the earliest requested highest priority transmission from a WT. In the example given this is a request from WT4 for an upstream transmission and an allocation to WT5 on the downstream transmission. Data cells will be allocated in the Field Descriptor on the next frame and data transmitted. On the following frame the highest priority DTI requests are both by WT3 and data cells will be allocated accordingly. The number of data cells is taken from the table of Figure 3 which is stored in memory. There will be no allocations of data cells to DT2 and DT3 type data on either upstream or downstream transmissions until all the DTI allocations have been dealt with respectively. After these have been dealt with, DT2 data is then transmitted. When there is none of this outstanding, DT3 type data will be transmitted. Thus, data is prioritised and scheduled to ensure optimum transmission.
- the AP is provided with at least two antennas and periodically tests the quality of transmissions to each WT in its particular pico-cell. A value representing the antenna which gives best communication with each WT is then stored. This information is then used for upstream and downstream transmissions between the AP and each WT. This entry can be changed if any of the WT's move. Some WT's will generate data at fixed rate, e.g., audio data. In order to accommodate such data the scheme can be modified such that the AP pre-allocates time slots for that type of data transmission and uses this in addition to the queueing of data types shown in Figure 4.
- the table of Figure 3 can be extended to include entries for WT's which require constant bit-rate transmissions on the upstream or downstream side. An entry for such a transmission can then be made in every frame to ensure that there is no loss of data.
- each frame comprises portion A plus portion B.
- portion A and portion B for each frame start and end at exactly the same time in PCI and PC2. Because of this, interference between the two frames will be eliminated.
- WT's remote from the AP with which they are communicating will receive downstream data at a later time than WT's close to the AP. Thus, they will start to compute the Turnaround Time (TT1 in Figure 2) at a later time and thus will send their upstream transmissions at a later time. This will cause contention at the AP with transmissions from other WT's.
- TT1 Turnaround Time
- each WT is provided with a variable delay to insert between receipt of the downstream transmission and the AP.
- the system is organised to set delays such that WT's close to the AP will have a delay inserted to simulate the effect of that WT being at the maximum possible distance from the AP. Initially, all mobiles have no delay information.
- the first transmission that a mobile can make is in the Reservation Request slot and the default transmission delay is 0. This means that the Reservation Request may appear early to the AP, but can only collide with other Reservation Requests from other mobiles in the normal way.
- the acknowledgement of Reservation Requests and data cells by the AP includes delay correction information so that the mobile can then synchronise to the appropriate delay.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un système de radiocommunication utilisé pour la transmission de données entre au moins une station de base et au moins une station éloignée. La station de base est en mesure de transmettre des signaux à la station éloignée et d'en recevoir de celle-ci, moyennant l'implantation de ladite station éloignée dans une zone prédéterminée. On attribue un ordre de priorité aux différents types de données à transmettre, et le type et la priorité propres à chaque transmission ultérieure sont déterminés et enregistrés. Ensuite on transmet les types de données ayant le degré de priorité le plus élevé avant ceux dont la priorité est la moins élevée. Lorsqu'il existe plusieurs stations de base, on utilise une pluralité de cellules de communication en chevauchement. Les stations de base émettent des signaux dans une première période de temps, et les stations éloignées émettent des signaux dans une seconde période de temps. Les stations de base sont reliées à un régisseur central qui synchronise les première et seconde périodes de temps utilisées par les stations de base dans des cellules adjacentes. Le nombre des transmissions dans chaque cellule est contrôlé, et la durée de chacune des deux périodes de temps susmentionnées est ajustée pour améliorer l'utilisation de la largeur de bande de transmission disponible. Les signaux émis depuis les stations éloignées vers les stations de base peuvent être transmis après un temps d'attente prédéterminé qui varie en fonction de la distance entre la station éloignée et la station de base.
