Definitions

  • This invention regards a method for reducing the time delay- in a telephone system. More particularly, it regards a method for reducing the audible time delay that occurs when the sig- nals are transmitted e.g. via a satellite channel.
  • a satellite connection or channel In the following, reference is made, for illustrative purposes, to a satellite connection or channel. Satellite connection is here taken to mean an entire satellite system comprising" multiplexers (MUX), antennas and satellite.
  • MUX multiplexers
  • GSM Global System for Mobile Communication
  • BSS Base Station System
  • MSC Mobile Service Switching Centre
  • the time delay doubles when both parties are on the same side of the satellite connection, as the signals must then first be sent via the satellite connection to the MSC and then return to the BSS via the same satellite connection.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the disadvantages of prior art.
  • signalling and speech are separated into two separate channels, a signalling channel and a speech channel, Thus it is possible to process data transmitted via the speech channel without interfering with the signalling channel .
  • the speech channels can be connected by use of a local change-over switch or switcher, while the signalling channel is transmitted to the MSC via the satellite connection.
  • the speech channel is not transmitted via the satellite connection and therefore is not subject to said time delay.
  • a further advantageous feature of the invention is that the transmission capability requirement of the satellite connection is reduced.
  • An A-interface (interface) for communication between a BSS and a MSC comprises a number of TDM (time-division multiplex) connections.
  • TDM time-division multiplex
  • TDM time slots not transmitted to the MSC can be used for local calls .
  • the capacity is determined by the total number of TDM time slots and links between the BSS and the MSC.
  • the conventional mobile telecommunication system will attempt to set up more calls if there are any free TDM time slots for local calls. The reason for this is that a conventional MSC will not be able to keep track of which calls are local and which are long distance calls, and in consequence, nor will it know the capacity situation in the transmission connection.
  • the invention comprises a method of preventing the MSC from attempting to set up further calls when the capacity of the transmission connection is fully utilised.
  • Figure 1 shows the principal components of a telephone system according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows the transmission paths of the signalling and speech channels according to prior art.
  • Figure 3 shows the transmission paths of the signalling and speech channels according to the invention, the transmission path of the signalling channel being illustrated by a broken line.
  • reference number 1 denotes a BSS of a type that is known per se.
  • the BSS 1 communicates with a local change-over switch or switcher 2 via a plurality of channels El-1 to El-n, where n is a selected number.
  • the local switcher 2 communicates via a transmission system 3, here in the form of satellite communication, with a remote switcher 4 via a plurality of channels El-1 to El-m, where 1 and m are selected numbers.
  • the remote switcher 4 communicates via a plurality of channels El-1 to El-n with an MSC 5 of a type that is known per se.
  • the channels El-1- to El-n between the remote switcher 4 and the MSC 5 correspond to the channels El-1 to El-n between the BSS 1 and the local switcher 2.
  • TDM analyzer A TDM time slot monitor, decoder and analyser 6, hereinafter denoted TDM analyzer or optionally analyzer, is connected to the channels between the BSS 1 and the local switcher 2. In Figure 1 this is illustrated by channel El-1 being connected to the TDM analyzer 6.
  • the TDM analyzer 6 communicates with the local switcher 2 and with the remote switcher 4 and the MSC 5 by means of a TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) connection/network 7.
  • TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
  • the TDM analyzer 6 constructs a local database of so-called IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) and MD-ISDN (Mobile Station - Integrated Services Digital Network) number for each mobile telephone associated with the BSS 1.
  • IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identity
  • MD-ISDN Mobile Station - Integrated Services Digital Network
  • the IMSI number is read from the signalling message ' loca- tion_updating_accept ' , while MS-ISDN is obtained from the MSC 5 by making an inquiry using the IMSI number as a reference.
  • the TDM analyzer 6 establishes a temporary list of all subscribers attempting to set up calls, hereinafter denoted A-subscribers 8, in the MSC 5.
  • Assigment_request (information regarding which time slot is being used) .
  • the messages are obtained from the protocols SCCP (Signalling Connection Control Part) , DTAP (Direct Transfer Application Part) , BSSMAP (Base Station System Management Application Part) in the A-interface.
  • SCCP Signal Transfer Control Part
  • DTAP Direct Transfer Application Part
  • BSSMAP Base Station System Management Application Part
  • a temporary listing is stored in the MSC 5, which includes all mobile users to whom a dial-up is attempted, at all times, and these users/subscribers are hereinafter denoted B- subscribers 9.
  • Connection_confirmed (logical signalling link Id) o 10. Assignment_request (information regarding which time slot is being used) .
  • Connect_acknowledge (used as time of concentration for external calls) .
  • the TDM analyzer 6 will make an inquiry for the B- MS-ISDN number in the above mentioned subscriber database and then check whether the resulting B-IMSI number is on the list of B-subscribers to whom a dial-up is being attempted. If the number is there, the corresponding TDM time slots are cross-o connected in the local switcher 2.
  • TDM time slot informa- tion for the call in question is used to initiate switching of TDM time slots between the TDM time links on the BSS 1 and MSC 5 side of the local switcher 2 or the remote switcher 4 respectively, and the TDM links transmitted via the satellite connection 3.
  • Figure 1 shows an example in which four TDM-links are concentrated down to two TDM-links. Obviously other constellations are possible.
  • the TDM analyzer 6 stores and maintains a list of all calls switched through the local switcher 2 and the remote switcher 4 at all times.
  • a call is terminated, i.e. the A- interface message 'released' is read from the signalling channel for an active call, the TDM analyzer 6 will notify the local switcher 2 and the remote switcher 4 to break the connections for the call in question.
  • the relaying of information between the TDM analyzer 6 and the local switcher 2 takes place via a normal TCP/IP network.
  • the remote switcher 4 receives information from the TDM analyzer 6 in order to extract the TDM links from the satellite connection 3 to the total number of TDM links in the system in the correct manner.
  • the TDM analyzer 6 is arranged so as to keep track of the status of the capacity of the satellite connection 3 and prevent further calls from being set up in the MSC 5 when all available transmission capacity is in use. This is done by using the TCP/IP network 7.
