Definitions

  • the invention relates to a base station and a receiving device for a mobile communication system with a TDMA component for transmitting information of several connections between mobile stations and the base station via a radio interface, the receiving device being used particularly in mobile stations.
  • the known mobile radio system is a mobile communication system with a TDMA component as a multiple access method (time division multiple access) for subscriber separation.
  • TDMA frame information from several subscriber connections is transmitted in time slots.
  • the information is transmitted block by block in radio blocks (bursts).

  • the transmission channels for user information relate to connections between the mobile stations and a base station (point-to-point
  • the transmission channels relate to connections from one base station to several mobile stations (point-to-multipoint connections) only in the downward direction.
  • a mobile communication system which uses a TDMA subscriber separation for the block-wise transmission of user information in time slots and prepares organizational information for a permanent wave transmission independent of the time slots.
  • a CDMA component is provided as a code division multiple access method for simultaneous connections in a time slot.
  • the useful information of several connections contained in the time slot formed as a transmission channel can be differentiated by spreading codes.
  • the base station is connected to an antenna device, which consists of a number of individual radiators, each of which radiates in a sector of the radio cell supplied by the base station (principle of the adaptive antennas).
  • the user information and organizational information are emitted at high frequencies with approximately the same power.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a transmission of useful information and organizational information for a mobile communication system with a TDMA component which enables the most economical and effective use of the radio resources.
  • This object is achieved by the base station with the features of patent claim 1 and the receiving device with the features of patent claim 11.
  • Advantageous further developments can be found in the subclaims.
  • a base station for a mobile communication system with a TDMA component contains a signal processing device for preparing useful information and of organizational information for transmission via a radio interface.
  • the signal processing device is controlled by a control device in such a way that the useful information for transmission in a frequency channel of a first high-frequency carrier with a TDMA component and the organizational information for transmission in a frequency channel of a second high-frequency carrier with TDMA component are prepared independently of the useful information.
  • the frequency channel of the first high-frequency carrier is chosen to be broadband compared to the frequency channel of the second high-frequency carrier.
  • Separate transmission devices modulate a transmission signal for high-frequency radiation of the organizational information using the second high-frequency carrier and a transmission signal for high-frequency radiation of the useful information using the first high-frequency carrier.
  • a separate high-frequency carrier with a TDMA component is used to transmit the organizational information regardless of the transmission of the useful information.
  • the organization channel - the frequency channel for the organization information - can thus be used with a constant output for control information, for example handover information, synchronization information and information about the possibilities and configuration of the mobile communication system, on a large number of mobile stations.

  • a CDMA component in the mobile communication system with frequency channels formed by time slots, in which the useful information of several connections is transmitted simultaneously.
  • the useful information of different connections can be distinguished according to a connection-specific fine structure.

  • the useful information is thus transmitted over a broad band, for example in a 1.6 or 2.0 MHz frequency band, in comparison to the organizational information.
  • Correct power control is particularly important in such mobile communication systems - for example with TDMA / CDMA components - since several subscriber signals are transmitted simultaneously in one frequency channel. Fluctuations in performance of the received information are largely compensated for by exact power regulation - possible through the various high-frequency carriers for organizational and usage information.
  • a JD method joint detection
  • the greater process gain for the organizational information is advantageously achieved in that its data rate does not have to correlate with the data rate of the useful information, e.g. a much lower data rate, for example less than or equal to 1 kbit / s, is used.
  • the organizational information is therefore limited to the most essential information, which can, however, be transmitted in a very interference-resistant manner.
  • the separate treatment of useful information and organizational information is particularly advantageous if directed radiation (see above) is possible with an antenna device assigned to the base station.
  • the useful information is directed and the organizational information is broadcast omnidirectionally or sectorally, with less antenna gain than for directed radiation.
  • the directional effect of the antennas can be used to achieve greater ranges for the useful information.
  • the separation has also increased the reach for the organizational information. If the useful information and the organizational information are emitted independently of one another, this results in a simplified structure of the transmission devices, with power regulation adapted to the conditions in each case for setting the range for the organizational information.
