Definitions

  • the invention relates to a programme switching method and to a radio receiving apparatus for in-vehicle use.
  • RDS Radio Data System
  • the receiver In the RDS system, detailed information about other frequencies on which the same programme is transmitted is included in an RDS data channel of the received programme signal. This information enables the receiving apparatus to check for alternative frequencies on which the same programme (radio station broadcast) is transmitted, and to change the frequency to which it is tuned if its received signal level becomes too low. In other words, the receiver is able to use the information transmitted in the RDS system to 'follow' a particular radio station (radio programme/channel broadcast) across different frequencies.
  • a data link layer consists of blocks of data. Each block typically has 26 bits, consisting of 16 bits of data and 10 check bits.
  • An RDS Group consists of 4 blocks, as shown in Table 1.
  • block A includes a program identification (PI) code, which is the unique identifier of a radio station.
  • the PI code is repeated 11.4 times per second and uniquely identifies a programme (radio station) and the country in which the programme is broadcast.
  • use of the code enables selection of a programme independently of frequency, and further enables a receiver to perform automatic changes (i.e. without user input) of the received frequency so as to change to an alternative frequency on which the same programme is broadcast.
  • Also transmitted in the RDS data is alternative frequency information.
  • the alternative frequency information includes the other frequencies on which the programme currently tuned to is also being broadcast.
  • the PI code and the alternative frequency information enable the radio receiver to perform the above-described network following.
  • the RDS system In addition to providing the programme identification (PI) code, the RDS system also provides codes (flags) indicating whether a particular radio station transmits a particular type of programme and when the radio station is transmitting the particular type of programme.
  • the particular type of programme is a traffic announcement (i.e. traffic news bulletin).
  • a radio station transmits traffic news bulletins, this is indicated by a code (flag) TP in the RDS data link layer of the signal transmitted by that radio station.
  • the RDS system also enables a radio station to indicate if another, related radio station is broadcasting a traffic news bulletin. This uses the Enhanced Other Network (EON) feature of the RDS system.
  • EON Enhanced Other Network
  • a radio station can transmit information in its programme signal relating to traffic announcements being made on other related radio stations.
  • a radio station invention 1 could transmit information in its programme signal indicating a traffic announcement on a related radio station essence 2 or essence 3. If the radio receiver is tuned to essence 1, on detecting this information in the programme signal of essence 1, the radio receiver can switch to a frequency of essence 2 or essence 3 on which the traffic announcement is made. In this way, a user can listen to his preferred station whilst still being kept informed of the traffic news.
  • Table 2 shows a list of values for TA and TP corresponding to the traffic programme and enhanced other network features of a radio station.
  • Table 2 TP TA Feature of the radio station 0 0 No traffic announcement, and no support of EON 0 1 No traffic announcement, but support of EON 1 0 Traffic program, announcement not active 1 1 Traffic program, announcement active
  • a user can set the radio receiver to switch radio station when a traffic news bulletin is transmitted on a radio station different from the station currently being received.
  • the radio receiver will then switch radio station when it detects, in the programme signal broadcast by the currently-received radio station, information that a traffic news bulletin is to be broadcast on a related radio station.
  • This problem may occur, for example, if the station currently received is a nationwide available station (e.g. BBC Radio 1) and the station to be switched to is a regional station (e.g. BBC London or BBC Oxford).
  • a nationwide available station e.g. BBC Radio 1
  • a regional station e.g. BBC London or BBC Oxford
  • the radio receiver will automatically switch to the regional station to receive the traffic announcement.
  • the nationwide available station e.g. BBC Radio 1
  • a traffic announcement is made on the regional station (e.g. BBC London)
  • the radio receiver will automatically switch to the regional station to receive the traffic announcement.
  • the radio receiver will detect the information in the programme signal of the nationwide station that a traffic announcement is to be made on the regional station and will try to switch to a frequency on which the regional station is broadcast.
  • the radio receiver will then find that the regional station is not receivable on the frequency switched to. Accordingly, it will try an alternative frequency on which the regional station is broadcast, and will find that the regional station is not receivable on this frequency also. The radio receiver will continue this process until it has searched through all of the alternative frequencies on which the regional station is broadcast. During this period the audio output of the radio apparatus is muted.
  • the radio receiver After all of the alternative frequencies of the regional station have been checked, the radio receiver returns to the national station.
  • a programme switching method of switching a radio tuner between frequencies on which related radio stations broadcast comprising: tuning the radio tuner to a first frequency on which a first radio station broadcasts so as to receive a first programme signal of the first radio station; detecting, in the first programme signal, an information code indicating a second frequency on which a second, related radio station broadcasts; periodically monitoring at least one quality indicator of a second programme signal of the second frequency; detecting, in the first programme signal, a transmission code indicating transmission of a particular type of programme in the second programme signal on the second frequency; determining, from the (most recent value of the) monitored at least one quality indicator of the second programme signal, whether the second programme signal is receivable; and switching the radio tuner to the second frequency to receive the said second programme signal if it is determined that the second programme signal is receivable, and keeping the radio tuner tuned to the first frequency to continue receiving the first programme signal if it is determined that the second programme signal is not receiv
  • the signal quality of the programme signal of the related radio station is periodically monitored.
  • the transmission code (indicating actual transmission of the particular type of programme) is detected in the programme signal of the first radio station
  • a determination can be made based on the monitored quality of the programme signal of the second, related radio station, as to whether or not to switch between the broadcasts of the two radio stations. In this way, the problems associated with the prior art programme switching method are mitigated.
  • the method may further comprise: detecting, in the first programme signal, additional information codes indicating additional frequencies on which related radio stations broadcast; and periodically monitoring at least one quality indicator of the programme signal of each additional frequency. At least some of the additional frequencies may be alternative frequencies on which the second radio station broadcasts the second programme signal.
  • the quality of a plurality of frequencies on which the particular type of programme is broadcast may be monitored. These frequencies may each belong to a different radio station (i.e. to second, third, fourth etc. related radio stations such as BBC London, BBC Oxford and so forth) or some of the frequencies may represent alternative frequencies of a particular radio station (i.e. alternative frequencies on which a radio station broadcasts the same programme, such as alternative frequencies on which Radio London is broadcast).
  • the method includes: storing, in a table, the second frequency and each additional frequency, together with, for each said frequency, the programme identification code that indicates the frequency and the at least one quality indicator of the programme signal of the frequency; and updating the table each time the at least one quality indicator of the programme signal of a said frequency is monitored.
  • the last decoded programme identification code and the age of the last decoded programme identification code, and/or the age of the last time of monitoring may be stored in the table for each said frequency also.
  • the relevant information for each frequency is stored in a table, and the table is dynamically updated each time a quality indicator of a frequency is monitored (sampled).
  • the table may also be updated each time a said frequency of a related radio station is switched to for receiving a broadcast programme.
  • the information on which of the second and additional frequencies is receivable at the receiver is kept constantly up-to-date in a format which can be easily read. Therefore, a decision can be made quickly and accurately, using the table, as to whether or not to switch the radio tuner between radio station broadcasts.
  • the updating of the table includes re-ordering the order in which the frequencies are listed in the table, such that the frequencies are maintained in an order according to their at least one quality indicators.
  • the at least one quality indicator includes a field strength value V(FS) of the second programme signal.
  • the field strength value it can be readily determined whether or not the second programme signal is receivable (available) at the location of the radio receiver.
  • a radio apparatus for in-vehicle use, the apparatus comprising: a tuner for tuning the radio apparatus to a first frequency on which a first radio station broadcasts so as to receive a first programme signal of the first radio station; first detecting means operable to detect, in the first programme signal, an information code indicating a second frequency on which a second, related radio station broadcasts, and to detect, in the first programme signal, a transmission code indicating transmission of a particular type of programme in a second programme signal of the second frequency; controlling means operable to cause the tuner to periodically sample the second programme signal of the second frequency; second detecting means operable to detect at least one signal quality indicator of the second programme signal of the second frequency each time the second programme signal is sampled; determining means for determining, from the (most recent value of the) at least one quality indicator of the second programme signal, whether the second programme signal is receivable; and switching means configured to switch the tuner to the second frequency to receive the said second programme signal when the first

  • the table may further include, for each said frequency, the last detected identification code; and possibly further, the age of the last detected identification code of that frequency and/or the age of the last time of sampling of that frequency.
  • the table can be updated not only when a said frequency is sampled, but also when a said frequency is switched to in order to receive the programme broadcast on that frequency.
  • the age of the last time of sampling can, of course, be the age of the receiving of the switched-to programme broadcast.
  • the second detecting means is arranged to detect a field strength of the second programme signal as a said signal quality indicator; and the determining means is operable to perform a non-linear conversion on the detected field strength to generate a field strength quality value, and to determine whether the second programme signal is receivable based on the field strength quality value.

  • the DSP 3 performs signal processing in the digital domain on the signal output by the tuner 2.
  • the detectors 4 enable codes/flags in the received programme signal to be detected and enable indicators of the received signal quality to be detected.
  • the CPU 5 is in overall control of the apparatus, for example it controls the frequency to which the tuner is tuned.
  • Memory 6 associated with the CPU 5 stores program code for operating the apparatus, and also stores operating information such as frequency information on related radio stations, which can be dynamically updated during use.
  • the operating portion 7 is provided to enable a user to input operation instructions, such as an instruction as to the radio station to be tuned to or the sound volume to be output.
  • the operating portion could be, for example, a combination of buttons and knobs on the front panel of the apparatus.

If the currently tuned to radio station is part of an enhanced other network (EON) this is detected from the RDS data. In addition, information giving the broadcast frequencies of the related (EON) radio stations which broadcast traffic news bulletins is detected.
  • EON enhanced other network
  • the RDS data decoder detects that the currently tuned to radio station is part of an Enhanced Other Network by detecting that the TP code of the received programme signal is 0 and that the TA code is 1, as shown in the earlier described Table 1.
  • the TP code and the TA code are included, in the RDS data link layer, in the RDS Groups 0A and 0B.
  • the RDS data decoder detects the broadcast frequencies of the related radio stations which periodically broadcast traffic announcements from EON information included in Group 14A.

  • the CPU 5 is able to populate the first two fields (Frequency and PI code) of the table with this information. There will then be an entry in the table for each frequency on which a related radio station broadcasts.
  • the radio receiver is tuned to BBC Radio 1, and the related radio stations include BBC London, BBC Oxford, BBC Cambridge and BBC Kent, there will be an entry (row) in the table for each frequency on which each of these related radio stations broadcast.
  • the related radio stations include BBC London, BBC Oxford, BBC Cambridge and BBC Kent
  • BBC London is broadcast over five alternative frequencies then there will be five rows in the table for BBC London, i.e. one row for each frequency over which it is broadcast. The same will apply to the frequencies over which each of the other related radio stations broadcasts.
  • the CPU After the radio apparatus has detected the above information for a related station from the RDS data included in the programme signal of the currently tuned-to radio station, the CPU instigates a monitoring process to be performed on the detected frequencies over which the related radio station broadcasts. The monitoring process is performed for each frequency of each related radio station identified from the RDS data.
  • the CPU 5 controls the tuner 2 to periodically sample each of the detected frequencies over which the related radio stations broadcast.
  • the CPU 5 controls the tuner 2 to periodically tune the tuner to each of the detected frequencies.
  • a detected frequency is tuned to for a length of time short enough so as not to be noticeable to a listener, but long enough to sample one or more quality indicators of the signal of the frequency.
  • This length of time should be less than 10 milliseconds.
  • the one or more quality indicators may be field strength, or field strength, noise and multipath, for example. Due to the short length of time of the sampling, it is not possible to decode the programme identification (PI) code of the frequency signal during the sampling.
  • the CPU 5 controls the tuner 2 to tune to each of the detected frequencies cyclically.
  • each occasion the tuner is diverted from the currently-received programme signal it is tuned to a different one of the detected frequencies.
  • the detected frequencies can thus be worked through in a cyclical sequence. Sound quality information on each detected (EON) frequency is in this way gathered in the background whilst the tuner is essentially, as far as the listener is concerned, tuned to one specific frequency (i.e. the currently received frequency).
  • the relevant detected values are stored in the table (Table 3) in the memory 6.
  • the values stored in the table include measures of the field strength, noise and multipath of the signal of the sampled frequency.
  • the field (signal) strength may be detected using a fieldstrength detector included in the detectors 4.
  • the signal strength is directly related to signal quality because the signal-to-noise ratio mainly depends on it. This detector is calibrated to compensate for tolerances of the analogue components of the receiver hardware.
  • the multipath may be detected using a multipath detector included in the detectors 4. This detector evaluates amplitude fluctuations of the received signal. If strong multipath conditions exist, then the amplitude fluctuations will be large. The multipath detector does not require any alignment.
  • the noise may be detected using an Ultra Sonic Noise (USN) detector, which is also included in the detectors 4.
  • USN Ultra Sonic Noise
  • This detector detects the amplitude of the high frequency content of the multiplex (MPX) signal. This is measured in the frequency range of around 80-150kHz.
  • MPX multiplex
  • a time stamp at which the frequency is sampled is included also, so as to subsequently indicate the age of the sample.

  • a field for the last decoded PI code obtained for each frequency, together with a field indicating the age of the last decoded PI code.
  • the decoded PI code is entered into the table.
  • an indicator of the age of the decoded PI code such as a time stamp of when it was obtained, is stored in the table also.
  • the last decoded PI code and its time stamp are also updated in the table if the PI code is detected during another operation, such as manual tuning or an automatic scan of the FM band.
  • the CPU 5 instructs the tuner 2 to sample a frequency of a related radio station, the results of the sampling are put into the table (Table 3).
  • the table is also updated, including an update of the field for the last decoded PI code and the age of that code. In this way, the table is constantly updated.
  • the table represents a dynamically updated list of the frequencies on which the related radio stations broadcast the particular type of programme (e.g. traffic announcement), including an indication of the quality (i.e. from the quality indicators) of the signal of each such frequency.
  • a decision can be made as to whether the signal is receivable using the field strength alone. If the field strength is above a threshold, then it is determined that the signal is receivable. If the field strength is below the threshold, then it is determined that the signal is not receivable.
  • the other quality indicators of multipath and noise may be used also, for example by comparing each of the multipath value and the noise value against a respective threshold.
  • the frequencies are preferably stored in the table in the order of their quality.
  • the frequencies may be stored in the order of their field strength (particularly if field strength is the only quality indicator which is detected).
  • the frequencies which have noise and multipath values above their respective thresholds may be stored in the order of their field strength, with the frequencies which have noise or multipath values below their respective thresholds provided lower in the table (in the order of their field strengths).
  • a single quality value can be calculated from the quality indicators, for example by subtracting the noise and multipath values from the field strength; the frequencies can then be arranged in the table in the order of their single quality value.
  • the respective frequency may be dropped to the bottom of the table (because the obtained information is no longer reliable).
  • the frequency may be dropped to the bottom of the table.
  • the table With the frequencies stored in the table in the order of their quality (i.e. in order of how good signal reception is at the receiver), and the table dynamically updated each time a frequency signal is sampled or tuned-to to receive a broadcast programme (or otherwise monitored, e.g. due to manual tuning), the table represents a dynamically changing list of the different frequencies arranged in order of their 'receivability' at the radio apparatus.
  • the RDS data of the programme signal currently received i.e. of the radio station currently tuned to, also includes transmission information (transmission code) indicating if one of the related radio stations is actually transmitting the particular type of programme (e.g. a traffic announcement). This information is transmitted in addition to the information code (notification information) explained above.
  • the transmission information is transmitted in Group 14B of the RDS data link layer and is a trigger indicating that a traffic announcement is actually being broadcast (or is about to begin).
  • the RDS data decoder of the radio receiving apparatus detects the transmission information in the RDS data it notifies the CPU 5.
  • the CPU 5 compares the PI code of the related radio station which is actually broadcasting the traffic announcement against the programme identification (PI)codes or the last decoded PI codes stored in the table, starting in order from the topmost row in the table.
  • PI programme identification
  • the alternative frequency of the related radio station having the best quality is therefore easily determined. If the quality of this frequency is satisfactory then the CPU 5 controls the tuner 2 to tune to this frequency of the related radio station. In this way, the desired particular programme type - for example, traffic announcement - is received at the radio apparatus and heard by the listener.
  • the quality may be deemed satisfactory in the manner described above, for example if the field strength is above the threshold; or if each of the field strength, multipath and noise is above its threshold; or if the single quality value is above its threshold.
  • the CPU 5 controls the tuner 2 to remain tuned to the frequency currently being received. In this way, a switch to a frequency which cannot be received at the radio apparatus is avoided. An undesirable mute is therefore avoided.
  • the radio apparatus After the traffic announcement has ended, this is indicated in the RDS data of the switched-to frequency.
  • the RDS decoder detects this and the CPU 5 causes the tuner 2 to switch once again to the originally-tuned programme. In other words, after playing the traffic news bulletin, the radio apparatus reverts to playing the listener's preferred radio station.
  • the embodiments of the invention can provide a particularly marked effect in cases where there are a large number of related radio stations, i.e. a large number of stations within the Enhanced Other Network. In such a situation there will be a burst of transmission information messages at certain times of day, for example on the hour every hour. In the prior art receiver, this causes a string of mutes to occur as the receiver tries all of the alternative frequencies of each of the related radio stations which is not receivable at the radio apparatus. According to embodiments of the invention, however, the receiver only switches to a frequency of a related station which it knows it can receive.
