Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for establishing a TrFO connection between two communication terminals via a communication network.
- TrFO transcoder-free operation
- a common codec type or, in the case of a multirate codec type, a common set or one must be used between the network units involved (UEs, RNCs, MSCs) Configuration of codec modes (Codec Modes) are negotiated.
- the necessary information is exchanged between communication terminals (UEs) and switching units (MSCs) on the lu interface via NAS signaling or via the Nc interface via BICC signaling.
- RNC radio network controller
- RNC properties radio network controller
- an RNC database is generated in the switching unit (MSC), which contains RNC properties, such as supported codec types and modes, and is loaded by the network operator via O&M device (operation and maintenance).
- codec mode configuration refers to both the modes of a codec, e.g. B. AMR (adaptive multirate codec) as well as different codec types, e.g. B. AMR and GSM fill rate.
- the object of the invention is to propose a simple and efficient way of reducing connection breaks during a transcoder-free operation.
- a core of the invention is that the codec mode configurations supported by the radio network controllers involved are stored in a storage unit. These can be taken into account when negotiating the codec, as a result of which only the codec mode configurations are selected by the switching units MSCs which are actually supported by the radio network controllers (RNCs).
- RNCs radio network controllers
- An advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in that in a radio network controller (RNC) not only a codec mode configuration but also all subsets of the codec mode configuration are supported, ie for example if the codec mode Configuration "a / b / c" is supported, then also the subsets a, b, c, a / b, b / c, a / c.
- RNC radio network controller
- Corresponding information is stored in the storage unit for this purpose, which provides information about which subsets of a codec mode configuration are supported by a radio network controller. This information can be in a signaling message, a
- Element of a message, a bit, etc. are transmitted to a receiving (terminating) switching unit (MSC).
- the receiving switching unit can, for example, check whether the offered codec mode configurations are supported and, in a second step, which subsets of the codec mode configurations are supported.
- FIG. 1 shows a simplified network architecture for negotiating a codec mode for a connection between two communication terminals
- FIG. 2 shows a simplified network architecture for negotiating the codec mode configuration according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a simplified network architecture for negotiating the codec Mode configuration including the subsets
- Figure 4 shows an inventive device for performing the method.
- FIG. 1 shows a simplified network architecture for negotiating a codec mode for a connection between two communication terminals UE in, for example, a cellular mobile radio network, such as the UMTS network.
- the radio network controller RNC1 supports two different codec mode configurations (mode (1, 2), (3, 4)). In contrast, all AMR modes 1 to 4 are entered in the memory unit T1 of the controlling switching unit MSC1.
- the switching unit MSC could also be an MSC server or the like.
- BICC Bearer Independent Call Control
- the codec mode configurations that the radio network controller RNC1 supports are not taken into account.
- the second radio network controller RNC2 also supports two different codec mode configurations (mode 1, 2 and mode 4, 5).
- the codec mode configurations in the radio network controller RNC2 are again not taken into account in the storage unit T2 of the second switching unit MSC2. All AMR modes 1 to 5 are again entered in the storage unit T2.
- the originating side transmits with the switching unit MSC1, the RNCl storage unit T1 and the radio network controller RNC1 all supported codec types and modes, for example in the form of a list, table or the like, to the receiving ( terminating) side with the switching unit MSC2, the storage unit T2 and the radio network controller RNC2 (1).
- a codec with a codec mode configuration selected and sent back to the sending side (2) Similar of the supported codec types and modes to the types and modes not supported on the receiving side reduced, a codec with a codec mode configuration selected and sent back to the sending side (2). With the selected codec mode, a RAB assignment (Radio Access Bearer - Assignment) is now initiated in the direction of the radio network controller RNCl (3). However, since the RNCl and RNC2 radio network controllers do not support the selected codec mode configuration (1, 2, 4), the RAB assignment (4) is rejected. This means that no connection can be made with a transcoder-free operation between two communication terminals UE, such as one
- Mobile terminal a mobile computer, a mobile organizer, etc. are manufactured.
- FIG. 2 shows a simplified network architecture for negotiating the codec mode configuration according to the invention.
- a codec mode configuration can consist of a combination of at least two codec modes.
- the codec mode configurations (mode (1, 2) and mode (3, 4)) which are supported by the radio network controller RNCl are entered in the storage unit T1 of the controlling switching unit MSC1.
- the storage unit T1, T2 can also be a unit of the switching unit MSC1, MSC2.
- the second radio network controller RNC2 also supports two different codec mode configurations (mode 1, 2 and mode 4, 5). These two codec mode configurations of the radio network controller RNC2 are entered or stored in the memory unit T2 of the second switching unit MSC2.
- the originating side transmits or signals with the switching unit MSC1, the storage unit T1 and the radio network controller RNCl the codec mode configurations supported by the radio network controller RNCl, for example in the form of a list , Table or the like on the receiving (terminating) side with the switching unit MSC2, the storage unit T2 and the radio network controller RNC2 (1).
- this list, table or similar is used with the codec modes supported by the radio network controller RNC 2. Comparing configurations in the storage unit T2, reduced to the supported codec mode configurations, selecting a codec mode configuration and sending it back to the sending side (2).
- a RAB task (Radio Access Bearer - Assignment) is now initiated in the direction of the RNCl radio network controller (3). Since both radio network controllers RNCl and RNC2 support the selected codec mode configuration (1, 2), a transcoder or operation connection TrFO connection can be set up between two communication terminals UE (4).
- FIG. 3 shows a simplified network architecture for negotiating the codec mode configuration according to the invention, including the subsets.
- the codec mode configuration to be selected is negotiated as described in FIG. 2.
- information is also transmitted to the receiving switching unit MSC2, which indicates that the radio network controller RNCl supports subsets of the signaled codec mode configuration.
- the information can be transmitted in a signaling message, a bit, an element of a message, etc. to the receiving switching unit MSC2.
- the RNCl radio network controller supports all subsets and therefore yes / no information is sufficient (2).
- the sending switching unit MSC1 signals or informs the receiving switching unit MSC2 that subsets are supported by the radio network controller RNCl.
- information is contained in the storage unit T1 that states whether subsets are supported by the radio network controller RNCl.
- the information on whether the radio network controller RNC2 supports subsets is stored in the storage unit T2.
- the receiving switching unit MSC2 can then have at least one codec mode configuration or one
- TrFO connection can be established with mode 2.
- FIG. 4 shows a device according to the invention for performing the method according to FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the device is ideally a switching unit MSC and has a transmitting unit S and a receiving unit ⁇ for mobile communication with other network units, such as a radio network controller RNC, a switching unit MSC and a communication terminal UE.
- the codec mode configurations supported by a network radio controller RNC are stored in a storage unit T.
- the storage unit T can be a table, a database, a list or the like.
- a processing unit V in the switching unit selects such a codec mode configuration for setting up a transcoder-free operation between two communication terminals, which are also supported by the at least two radio network controllers involved (RNCl and RNC2).
