Definitions

  • the invention generally relates to the field of communications technology. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of suppressing radio transmission in a cellular radio network in a predetermined area. In this case, the radio transmission in the predetermined area of signals is hindered by a jamming signal of a jammer.
  • a radio network In communications technology, a radio network is usually a network in which information such as e.g. Voice information, image information, video information, SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) or data via a radio interface between a transmitting and receiving radio station to be transmitted. It is thus a communication system in which the methods of radio technology are used.
  • the radio stations can, depending on their specific configuration, be, for example, base stations or mobile units, such as mobile stations. Radio modem, mobile devices, etc., via which a subscriber receives access to the wireless network.
  • the radiation of the electromagnetic waves takes place with carrier frequencies which lie in a frequency band provided for the respective communication system.
  • a cellular radio network such as, for example, a network according to the Global System for Mobile Communication or GSM standard, according to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System or UMTS standard, according to the Long Term Evolution or LTE standard or according to the so-called WiMAX or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access will be a coverage area of the wireless network in a variety of adjacent Radio cells divided.
  • a so-called base station forms a center of the respective radio cell. This base station is then connected via cable or radio relay with a central unit and thus eg to a wired network (eg telephone network, data network, etc.).
  • a radio cell is that radio coverage area of a base station, within which a mobile unit such as a radio modem for the use of data services or a mobile device (eg smartphone, tablet PC, mobile phone, laptop, etc.) must be in order to communicate with the base station to be able to.
  • a mobile unit such as a radio modem for the use of data services or a mobile device (eg smartphone, tablet PC, mobile phone, laptop, etc.) must be in order to communicate with the base station to be able to.
  • this mobile unit For an exchange of information between the base station and a mobile unit, e.g. a mobile phone, a smartphone, laptop, etc., this mobile unit must be in radio contact with the base station or with the associated radio cell.
  • a mobile unit For a setup of the radio contact or the radio transmission, for example, base stations permanently emit signals in the so-called downlink, which are recognized by a mobile unit. Thereafter, the mobile unit may send its own identifier back to the base station and thus provide radio contact for e.g. an information transfer will be established.
  • the mobile unit continuously measures a reception quality of the base station and if the reception quality is too low, e.g. a new base station for the construction of a radio transmission or a radio contact sought.
  • the entirety of this process for example, depending on the mobile standard used as a location update in GSM or e.g. Tetra standard, referred to as UMTS routing area update or LTE tracking area update.
  • radio transmission over a cellular radio network is not desired everywhere.
  • an exchange of information take place via radio transmission in a cellular radio network in certain areas or areas, such as special event or meeting rooms, hospitals, prisons, etc. etc. is prevented in particular by unauthorized persons.
  • radio transmission of the mobile units for example, in areas such as hospitals, etc., for example, electronic devices can be disturbed.
  • other areas such as event rooms, meeting rooms, theater, cinema, etc. can be disturbed by incoming calls, information transfers, etc. meetings, performances or other participants or visitors.
  • mobile stations may pose a security risk in some areas, such as public buildings, etc., as they may also be used as detonator detonators, for example. Therefore, in some given areas or areas (eg, event facilities, hospitals, prisons, public facilities, etc.), it is desired that radio transmission between a base station and mobile units located in that area be suppressed or prevented.
  • the signals exchanged between a base station and a mobile unit are disturbed by a jammer or a jamming station - a so-called jammer. Due to the jammer, a perfect reception of a radio signal or a signal exchange between the base station and the mobile unit is made difficult or impossible. From the jammer electromagnetic waves are thereby as interference signal from, through which the original electromagnetic waves or the signals with radio network, for example, be completely or partially superimposed. In this case, for the interference signals, e.g. same or adjacent frequencies or equal frequency bands are used as for the signals to be disturbed.
  • interference signals with high power are transmitted over the entire desired or to be disrupted frequency bandwidth, as in the case of text US 8,170,467 B2 .
  • a portable jammer unit such as an aircraft digital burst interference with a particular burst period in a frequency band of the radio network to be disturbed.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method for suppressing a radio transmission of signals in a cellular radio network in a given area, through which a low specific power for the radio network to be interfering noise is generated without much effort and without disturbing others Hinder radio transmissions.
  • the object is achieved by a method of the type mentioned, in which by a jammer in the given area or area between a radio station of a cellular radio network (such as a base station or an access point to the radio network) and a mobile unit (eg mobile phone, smartphone , Tablet PC, laptop, etc.) received signal.
  • a radio station of a cellular radio network such as a base station or an access point to the radio network
  • a mobile unit eg mobile phone, smartphone , Tablet PC, laptop, etc.
  • This received signal is then amplified by the jammer and generated therefrom by modification an interference signal, said interference signal is derived from at least a portion of the received signal by a time delay of the received signal.
  • at least one time-delayed version of the received signal is transmitted by the jammer or at least one version of at least a portion of the time-delayed received signal as a jamming signal for the predetermined area or the predetermined area.
  • the main aspect of the proposed solution according to the invention is that without great effort and without additional costs for a radio transmission to be disturbed or for the interfering radio network specific interference signal is generated. In this case, it is not necessary to decode signals from a radio station to a mobile unit - so-called downlink signals or signals from the mobile unit to the radio station - so-called uplink signals - for efficient interference of the radio transmission.
  • the interference signal is derived in a simple manner from the downlink signal between radio station and mobile unit by a skillful time delay, which can depend on the respective cellular radio network - eg GSM network, UMTS network, LTE network, etc.
  • the proposed solution suppresses radio transmissions in a given area or area with a relatively low-power interfering signal, and other radio links which are not to be disturbed experience relatively little interference due to the interfering signal.
  • the time delay for generating the interference signal is significantly greater than a time period which is used in the cellular radio network for a symbol.
  • the various character units for transmitting the information content in a signal are usually referred to in digital transmission technology and telecommunications engineering.
  • a symbol can be expressed by a different physical quantity (eg electrical voltage in the form of amplitude, frequency, phase, etc.). The symbol is mapped to specific physical parameters of a so-called carrier signal for the transmission of the information content.
  • intersymbol interferences which are also referred to as symbol crosstalk, are interferences between temporally successive transmitted or to be received symbols - that is, for example, an echo, which by the interference signal, which may consist of one or more time-delayed versions of the downlink signal, is stronger than the downlink signal for the radio connection between radio station or base station and mobile unit.
  • Such a procedure can be used in particular in cellular radio networks according to the GSM standard or in so-called Tetra radio networks - the Terrestrial Trunked Radio Standard - a digital trunking radio standard.
  • the time delay for generating the interference signal is made dependent on a length of a scrambling code used in the radio network.
  • a relatively large time delay for deriving the interference signal which may also include one or more time-delayed versions of the downlink signal selected.
  • This variant of the method according to the invention can ideally be used in cellular radio networks according to the UMTS standard.
  • a UMTS radio network is a code division method - the so-called Wideband Code Division Multiple Access or WCDMA, in which a so-called spreading code is used for orthogonal coding and a band spread.
  • This spreading code has the property that all its codes are orthogonal to each other if all the coded signals are synchronous with each other. This means that there is a synchronicity of all signals of a radio transmission in the downlink - from the radio or base station to the mobile unit.
  • the so-called scarmbling code is then used, each base station or radio cell having its own scrambling code is assigned.
  • the scrambling code is thus used for the orthogonal coding of the base stations or radio cells in the downlink or the mobile units in the uplink.
  • a radio transmission can be disturbed in a very targeted manner, especially in a UMTS network, by generating intersymbol interferences.
  • a time delay may be used to generate the interfering signal, which is significantly smaller than a time period used in the cellular radio network for a symbol.
  • one or more time-delayed versions of the downlink signal received by the jammer are used as interference signal.
  • a relatively short time delay is ideally used to suppress radio communications in UMTS standard, LTE standard or WiMAX standard radio networks.
  • the time delay for generating the interference signal which is significantly smaller than a period of a symbol of a symbol in the radio network, periodically changed, thereby adjusting a rate of periodic change to the radio frequency pilot signal used in the cellular radio network.
  • This procedure can ideally be used in a cellular radio network according to the UMTS standard.
  • a UMTS network can be used by the mobile unit as a pilot signal for a channel estimation either the so-called pilot channel - ie the Common Pilot Channel (CPICH) - or the so-called pilot bits in the data channel - the so-called Dedicated Physical Channel (DPCH).
  • CPICH Common Pilot Channel
  • DPCH Dedicated Physical Channel
  • CPICH Common Pilot Channel
  • a secondary CPICH there are basically two CPICHs, a primary CPICH and a secondary CPICH.
  • the primary P-CPICH is used in particular as a phase reference for some other physical channels and also for channel estimation within the radio cell formed by the base station.
  • the pilot channel or CPICH can still be used to remove distortions used, which are caused by other transmission channels in the radio network.
  • the DPCH is a dedicated channel to a mobile subscriber, via which user data such as control data is transmitted in time multiplexed manner in the downlink.
  • user data such as control data
  • the pilot bits in the DPCH are transmitted separately for each radio link and therefore can also be used for channel estimation when the base station transmits the signals directed in one direction of the respective mobile unit.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is used, in which the time delay for generating the interference signal, which is significantly smaller than a symbol period in the cellular radio network, is continuously swept , Under wobble is understood in electronics a periodic change of a frequency, wherein a generated frequency is cyclically varied between two predetermined end values.
  • a kind of Doppler spectrum is generated for the downlink signal, which For example, even with rapidly moving in the radio network mobile units (eg mobile unit is located in an aircraft or high speed train) is generated by radio transmission channel. Due to the interference signal generated by the Doppler effect no radio link between base station and mobile unit can be established and the radio transmission is thus very easily suppressed.
  • the interference signal for a plurality of adjacent frequency bands of the cellular radio network in the predetermined area is generated by a jammer. This can be disturbed in a simple and cost-saving manner by a jammer in parallel several radio links in the cellular radio networks - for example, to different radio stations.
  • a so-called transceiver can be used as a jammer.
  • the term transceiver designates a structural unit from which signals can both be received and transmitted. A transceiver thus combines transmitter and receiver in a single unit.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exemplary sequence of the inventive method for suppressing a radio transmission of signals in a cellular radio network in a given area.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in a schematic and exemplary manner, a sequence of the method according to the invention for suppressing a radio transmission of signals in a cellular radio network on the basis of an exemplary radio station BS and on the basis of an exemplary mobile unit ME, which is located in a predetermined area or area BE (eg meeting room, function room, Hospital, etc.).
  • This predetermined Area BE is supplied via the radio station BS with access to the cellular radio network such as a radio network according to the GSM, Tetra, UMTS, LTE or WiMAX standard.
  • This means that a radio cell is formed by the radio station BS, for example, for the given area BE.
  • a jamming transmitter SE is provided in the predetermined area BE, from which an interference signal ST for blocking radio transmissions in the cellular radio network is transmitted.
  • the jammer SE is designed as a so-called transceiver. In this way, both the signals S from the radio station BS and the interference signals ST can be transmitted by the jamming transmitter ST.
  • a signal S transmitted by the radio station BS as a downlink signal to the mobile unit ME is received by the jamming transmitter SE for this purpose.
  • This received signal S is amplified by the jammer SE in a second method step 2.
  • the interference signal ST is generated by the jammer SE by means of modification of at least part of the received signal S.
  • the interference signal ST is derived from at least part of the received signal S by applying a time delay.
  • the time delay used to generate the interference signal ST used in the second method step 2 may for example be significantly greater than a time duration which is used in the cellular radio network for a symbol.
  • a third method step 3 then at least one time-delayed version of the received signal S or a part of the time-delayed received signal S as interference signal ST emitted.
  • a fourth method step 4 in particular in a cellular radio network according to the GSM or Tetra standard by the interference signal ST, when the mobile unit ME tries to receive the signal transmitted by the radio station BS, so-called intersymbol interference is triggered. The mobile unit can thus be established no radio connection to the base station and the radio transmission is thus significantly disturbed or prevented.
  • the time delay used in the second method step 2 for the interference signal ST has a very long duration. This duration is then determined as a function of a length of a scrambling code used by the cellular radio network.
  • a so-called scrambling code is mainly used in radio networks according to the UMTS standard in order to be able to distinguish the downlink signals S from different base stations BS or the radio cells belonging to these base stations BS.
  • the scrambling code usually has a fixed length, which is e.g. corresponds to a time frame. By the time frame, e.g. defines a time structure of a signal S in a UMTS network.
  • the third method step 3 at least one time-delayed version of the received signal S is then emitted again as the interference signal ST from the interfering transmitter ST, the interference signal ST having been derived at least from a part of the received signal S.
  • the fourth method step 4 it is then attempted to set up a radio link from the mobile unit ME via the signal S emitted by the radio station BS.
  • the interference signal ST so-called intersymbol interferences are triggered and the mobile unit ME can then not establish a radio connection to the radio station BS.
  • the time delay used in the second method step 2 is significantly smaller is a period of time used in the cellular radio network for a symbol.
  • the time delay for generating the interference signal ST can be changed periodically and a rate of this periodic change can be adapted, for example, to a pilot signal used in the cellular radio network, a pilot sequence or a pilot channel.
  • the pilot signal or as e.g. in a UMTS radio network a pilot sequence or pilot bits which are sent in the data channel (DPCH) as control data for channel estimation, in a radio network from a mobile unit ME, for example, for removing distortions by other radio transmission channels and for channel estimation within that of the radio station BS be used formed radio cell.
  • DPCH data channel
  • the mobile unit ME or an equalizer unit of the mobile unit ME no more channel estimation be made.
  • the mobile unit ME can thus no longer perform successful signal decoding of signals S in the downlink, and the radio transmission between radio station BS and mobile unit ME is prevented.
  • an interference signal ST in the form of a Doppler spectrum is generated from at least part of the received signal S.
  • Such a Doppler spectrum is also generated, for example, when a mobile unit ME is moved through the radio network at high speed (eg in an airplane or high-speed train) because the high speed results in a frequency shift (with additional frequency broadening) at those frequencies which are at a radio link and signal transmission between the radio station BS and the mobile unit ME are used.
  • the interfering signal ST is transmitted by the interfering transmitter SE in the form of this Doppler spectrum
  • the fourth method step 4 -in particular cellular radio networks based on LTE or WiMAX-the connection between radio station BS and mobile unit ME is e.g. Disturbed by interferences and disturbances significantly or made impossible. In this way, then a radio transmission between the radio station BS and the mobile unit ME is also successfully prevented in the predetermined area or area.
