- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a radio
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a storage medium
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a mobile radio system
- Figure 1 shows a radio device FG for using different features or services of a mobile radio system, consisting of an operating unit MMI, a control device STE and a processing device VE, a power supply device SVE, a subscriber identification module SIM, an interface SS for data transmission and power supply, a high frequency part HF consisting of a receiving device EE, a transmitting device SE and a frequency synthesizer SYN and an antenna device ANT.
- the individual elements of the radio are also connected to one another by conductor tracks, wires, cables or bus systems.
- the control device STE essentially consists of a software-controlled microcontroller MC and the processing device VE consists of a digital signal processor DSP, both of which have write and read access to memory modules SPE.
- the microcontroller controls and controls all essential elements, functions, performance features and services of the radio device FG and essentially controls the communication and signaling process.
- analog / digital converter By analog / digital converter, the analog audio signals and the analog signals originating from the high-frequency part RF signals are converted to digital signals and processed by the digital sor Signalprozes ⁇ . After processing, the digital signals are converted back into analog audio signals and analog signals to be supplied to the high-frequency part HF by digital / analog converters. For this purpose, modulation or demodulation is carried out, if necessary.
- the program data required to control the radio FG of the communication process, the signaling procedures, the performance features and the services, device information, information entered by the user and information generated during the processing of signals are stored in the volatile or non-volatile memory modules SPE.
- the radio device FG has an insertion slot for a subscriber identification module SIM or a corresponding possibly permanently installed element for storing subscriber- or network-specific information.
- FIG. 2 shows memory modules SPE in which information about different mobile radio systems MS or the corresponding identifiers and the performance features LM or services D supported by them are stored. This information can be in the form of a table in the memory modules 6 SPE of the radio or on the subscriber identification module SIM.
- the radio device FG will be followed according to appropriate hand-over and location area update procedures or the registration of the radio in a mobile radio system MS3 of another network operator via the new mobile radio system MS3 whose system-specific
- Identifier for example the mobile network code MNC or the location area identity LAI, and information about it is stored if necessary.
- the control device STE of the radio then reads from the storage means SPE the information about which features LM1, LM2 or services D2 are not supported by this mobile radio system MS3 and blocks the corresponding features LM1, LM2 or services D2 and takes them into account Blocking of these features LM1, LM2 or services D2 in the following signaling procedures, such as the establishment of a connection. As long as the user is in this mobile radio system MS3, these performance features LM1, LM2 or services D2 are not available to him.
- the information can also be updated, ie the table shown in FIG. 2 can be saved again 7 how the first storage of the information takes place via an interface SS of the radio FG. This can be done at ⁇ play, by means of a personal computer of the manufacturer or network operator. It is also possible to update the information using the MMI control unit of the FG radio.
- the information can also be transmitted to at least part of the mobile radio systems, for example the mobile radio system which the user usually uses, to the radio device FG and stored there automatically. User or signaling channels can be used for this.
- This information can also be transmitted at regular or irregular intervals in the form of a broadcast message. In an execution ariante this information is always transmitted when the location of the radio device FG has changed. An update of the information can therefore be triggered if the identification of the location area or of the network operator or of the mobile radio system has changed or a location area update procedure (location update procedure) is carried out. It is also possible that the update is triggered when the radio device FG is logged into a mobile radio system.
- Another embodiment of the invention provides that in the radio device FG, in the event of malfunctions that may occur, all the features or services that are not necessary for a basic function of the radio device are automatically blocked.
- the basic function also means a simple speech connection with robust speech coding.
- Other advantageous basic functions are also easy to define for a person skilled in the art.
- the structure of the mobile radio system shown in FIG. 3 corresponds to a known GSM mobile radio system which consists of a multiplicity of mobile switching centers MSC which are networked with one another or establish access to a fixed network PSTN. Furthermore, these mobile switching centers MSC are each connected to at least one base station controller BSC. Each base station controller BSC in turn enables at least one base station BS.
- a base station BS ⁇ is a radio station, which can set up a radio link to wireless devices FG via a radio interface.
- the range of the signals of a base station BS essentially define a radio cell FZ.
- the allocation of resources such as frequency bands to radio cells and thus to the data sequences to be transmitted can be controlled by control devices such as the base station controller BSC.
- Base stations BS and a base station controller BSC can be combined to form a base station system BSS.
- the base station system BSS is übertragunsumble for the radio channel ⁇ administration that ratenanpadedung, monitoring the radio, handover procedures and the connection control and mobility management in charge and transmits the necessary information to the radios FG.
- the base station system BSS is also responsible for the transmission of the information via mobile radio systems and the services and / or features supported by them for updating the stored information. This transmission can also be carried out via signaling channels or traffic channels.
- a half-rate (HR) voice codec is defined as an option for the originally used full-rate (FR) voice codec, which enables voice information at half the data rate via a half-rate
- Traffic channel to transmit and thus the number of parallel 9 PelN via a base station BS to the leading calls to dou ⁇ .
- An increasing number of mobile radio systems MS and radio devices FG support this feature LM dual-rate support, which makes it possible to optionally compress speech using either the full-rate (FR) speech codec or the half-rate (HR) speech codec.
- a dual rate support radio device FG is logged into a full rate support only mobile radio system that does not support this feature LM dual rate support and also 'information about it that it does not support this feature, LM dual-rate support, or does not transmit it to the radio, or does not transmit it reliably.
- a conventional radio device transmits to the mobile radio system information about the speech codecs it supports to the mobile radio system (dual rate support radio device).
- a special or incorrect implementation of this feature (full-rate support and / or dual-rate support) in the mobile radio system can result in the mobile radio system not being able to respond to this information in a suitable manner by either using a half-rate
- connection or transmits suitable control information for the use of the full-rate speech codec to the radio This leads to interference when using conventional radio devices, so that, for example, the radio device cannot establish a connection to the mobile radio system.
- the corresponding information (mobile radio system MS does not support dual rate support) is read by the control device STE of the radio device FG from the memory module SPE.
- the 10 Dual-rate speech codec feature of the radio device FG ⁇ is blocked within the device and the radio registers with the mobile radio system as a full-rate support-only radio. In this way, malfunctions can be avoided and a connection can be established.
- This feature lock can be applied analogously to the enhanced full rate codec.
- multimode radio devices FG which can communicate, for example, via existing GSM mobile radio networks and future wide-band CDMA mobile radio networks or via FDD (Time Division Duplex) or TDD (Time Division Duplex) systems
- information units SPE for example, contain information - are stored via the different mobile radio systems and the transmission standards or transmission methods supported by them and, if appropriate, the multimode radio device FG is blocked for certain transmission standards or transmission methods or transmission systems analogously to the implementation mentioned above.
