Description

本発明は通信ネットワークの分野に関し、特に、組み合わされた配線式及び無配線式通信(combined wired and non−wired communication)を経由しての建物内のデバイスのネットワーク化に関する。
家庭内でのネットワーク化の成長しつつあるニーヅが存在する。このニーヅは2つの主要の要因、すなわち、多数のデータデバイスの使用の増加と、該家庭内でのブロードバンドサービス(broad band services)の出現と、によりドライブされている。
最近、多数のパーソナルコンピユータを有する米国の家庭の数が増大している。加えて、冷蔵庫やマイクロ波オーブンの様な、家庭用電気器具に接続とネットワーク化の能力が付加されて来た。更に、テレビ(TV’s)、ブイシーアール(VCR’s)の、受信器、とスピーカーの様な種々のマルチメデイア(オーデイオ及びビデオ)家庭電気器具間のデータ接続を可能にする方向への傾向がある。ここで使用される用語”データユニット(data unit)”はデータを発生及び/又は記録出来る何等かのデバイスを称する。データユニットのネットワーク化は、他の利益と共に、共通の周辺デバイスの共有のみならずフアイル及びアップリケーション(application)の共有も可能にする。
家庭用接続製品のニーヅの背後でのもう1つのドライブ力はオンラインハウスホールド(on−line households)の数の成長である。情報及びブロードバンド娯楽源への高速接続性が向上すると、該家屋内家庭電気器具間でこのアクセスを共有し、配分するニーヅの増大がある。これらのブロードバンドサービスは主に3種類のサービスプロバイダーにより供給されるが、それらは下記である。
1.テルコ(Telco’s)の、エックスデーエル(xDSL)接続経由{現在はエイデーエスエル(ADSL)で、次ぎにブイデーエスエル(VDSL)が続く}。
2.シーエイテーブイ(CATV)。現在はケーブルモデム(Cable−Modem)経由であるが、次ぎにデジタルのセットトップボックス(Set−Top−Box)が続く。
3.衛星(Satellite)、エルエムデーエス(LMDS)、ダブリューエルエル(WLL)、及びその他の様な無線接続。
家庭内の通信は2種類、すなわち、有線式(wired)及び無配線式(non−wired)、に分類され得る。これらは下記の様に、カバーされる。
[配線式通信]
配線式通信は少なくとも2本の別個の導電体の使用を要する。該配線は、イーサーネットIEEE802ネットワーク(Ethernet(登録商標) IEEE802 networks)で使用される、カテゴリー5の種類の様な構造化された配線の設置の様に、該家庭内データ通信用に設置され、専用化された新配線である。しかしながら、家庭内での新配線構造体の設置は労働集約的で、複雑で、高価である。代わりに、特定の目的用に前に設置された現在の家庭配線は元のサービスが実質的に影響され又は劣化させられず、データ通信用に使用出来る。現在の配線は電話配線(telephone wiring)、電力ライン配線(power line wiring)そしてケーブルテーブイ配線(cable TV wiring)を含む。これらは下記の様に再検討される。
全ての配線構成について、本発明は、建物内に予め存在する、少なくとも2本の別個の導電体を有する、そしてデータ通信信号を伝送出来る、導電ライン(electrically conducting lines)に依存する。更に、本発明は、適当な出口(outlets)に依存し、そしてその出口に該導電ラインが接続され、そして該出口は外部デバイスに接続出来る。
[電話配線]
家庭内の電話サービスは通常2本又は4本の線(wires)を使い、電話セットが接続される電話出口を経由してアクセスされる。
図1は電話ライン5で配線された、住宅又は他の建物用の従来技術の電話システム10の配線構成(wiring configuration)を示す。住宅電話ライン5は接続箱(junction box)16に接続される単1線対(single wire pair)から成り、該接続箱は今度はケーブル17経由で電話網(Public Switched Telephone Network){ピーエステーエヌ(PSTN)}18に接続され、該ケーブルは、1つの電話からもう1つへの電話通信(telephony)を確立し、行わせる公共交換器(public switch)19で成端(terminating)する。ここで使用される用語”アナログ電話通信(analog telephony)”は、時には”ピーオーテーエス(POTS)”{”普通の旧型電話サービス(Plain Old Telephone Service)”}として参照される、典型的に3kHz以下で従来型のアナログの低い周波数のオーデイオ音声信号を示すが、用語”電話通信(telephony)”は一般にサービス総合デジタル網(Integrated Services Digital Network){アイエスデーエヌ(ISDN)}の様なデジタルサービスを含む、何等かの種類の電話サービスを示す。ここで使用される用語”高い周波数(high−frequency)”はデータ用に使用されるそれの様な、かかるアナログ電話通信オーデイオ周波数を実質的に上回る何等かの周波数を示す。アイエスデーエヌは典型的に100kHzを超えない周波数を使用する(典型的には該エネルギーは40kHz付近に集中される)。ここで使用される用語”電話ライン(telephone line)”はアナログ電話通信を搬送し、配信するよう第1に意図された導電ラインを示すが、建物内に予め存在し、アナログ電話通信サービスを現在提供する導電ラインを含んでおり、但しそれに限定されない。ここで使用される用語”電話デバイス(telephone device)”は、限定されないが、フアックス、音声モデム(voice−modem)、その他の様な電話通信信号を使用する何等かのデバイスのみならず、電話通信用の何等かの装置(apparatus)(アナログ電話通信及びアイエスデーエヌの両者を含む)を示す。
接続箱16は家庭内回路(in−home circuitry)を該ピーエステーエヌから分離するため使用され、該家庭内の新しいもの(new)の配線用のみならずトラブルシューテイング用のテスト設備として使用される。複数の電話13a及び13bは複数の電話出口11a、11b、11c、そして11dを経由して電話ライン5に接続される。各出口はそれぞれ12a、12b、12c、そして12dとして図1で示される、コネクター{屡々”ジャック(jack)”として参照される}を有する。北アメリカでは、RJ−11が普通使用される。各出口はそれぞれ14a及び14bとして図1(2つの電話ユニット13a及び13b用に図解された)で示される、コネクター{屡々”プラグ(plug)”として参照される}を経由して電話ユニットに接続されてもよい。ライン5a、5b、5c、5d、そして5eが電気的に同じ対の導体であることを注意することも重要である。
ネットワーク10は直列又はデイジーチェーン化されたトポロジーを示し、そこでは該配線は出口から次の1つのみに直列化されるが、他の、星状()、ツリー状の様な他のトポロジー又はどんな任意のトポロジーも又存在してよい。しかしながら、住宅内の電話配線システムは常に、配線媒体(wired media):2本又は4本の銅線と、そしてこれらの線に接続するための直接アクセスを提供する幾つかの出口とから成る。
現在の電話インフラストラクチャー(telephone infrastructure)を電話及びデータの双方のネットワーク化用に同時に使用する要求がある。この方法で、家庭内又は他の建物内に新しいローカルエリアネットワーク(local area network)を確立する課題は簡単化されるが、それは設置するために追加的配線がないからである。クレーン(Crane)への米国特許第4、766、402号{以後”クレーン(Crane)”として参照される}は2線式電話ライン(two−wire telephone lines)上にラン(LAN)を形成する方法を開示しているが、電話サービスは有しない。
もう1つの例として、この分野の関連従来技術はデイヒター(Dichter)への米国特許第5、896、443号{以後”デイヒター(Dichter)”として参照される}で開示されている。デイヒターは周波数領域/分割多重化(エフデーエム)技術を住宅電話配線用に応用し、電話とデータ通信の信号を同時に搬送することを可能にする方法と装置を示唆している。配線により可能にされたバンド幅は、アナログ電話通信信号を搬送することが出来る低い周波数バンドと、データ通信信号を搬送することが出来る高い周波数バンドに分割される。この様な機構では、該電話サービスは影響されないが、データ通信能力は家庭内の現在の電話配線上で提供される。
周波数領域/分割多重化(エフデーエム)の概念は当該技術で公知であり、線により担われるバンド幅を、アナログ電話通信信号を搬送することが出来る低い周波数バンドと、データ通信他の信号を搬送することが出来る高い周波数バンドとに分割する手段を提供する。この様な機構は、例えば、ライヘルト他(Reichert et al.)への米国特許第4、785、448号{以下”ライヘルト(Reichert)”と引用する}で説明されている。又エックスデーエスエル(xDSL)システム、主として非対称デジタル加入者ループ{エイデーエスエル(ADSL)}システムが広く使われている。
該デイヒターのネットワークは図2に図解されるが、それは両電話をサービスしそしてデータユニットのローカルエリアネットワークの提供するネットワーク20を示す。データ端末装置(Data Terminal Equipment){デーテーイー(DTE)}ユニット24a、24b、そして24cはそれぞれデータ通信装置(Data Communication Equipment){デーシーイー(DCE)}ユニット23a、23b、そして23c経由で該ローカルエリアネットワークへ接続される。データ通信装置の例はモデム(modems)、ラインドライバー(line drivers)、ラインレシーバー(line receivers)、そしてトランシーバー(transceivers)を含む(該用語”トランシーバー”は送信器と受信器との組合せを示す)。デーシーイーユニット23a、23b、そして23cはそれぞれ高域フィルタ(high pass filters){エイチピーエフ(HPF)}22a、22b、そして22cに接続される。該エイチピーエフエスは該デーシーイーユニットが電話ライン5により搬送される該高い周波数のバンド(high−frequency band)にアクセスすることを可能にする。第1の実施例(図2に示されない)では電話13a、13b、そして13cはそれぞれコネクター14a、14b、そして14cを経由して電話ライン5に直接接続される。しかしながら、該電話により引き起こされる該データネットワークへの干渉を避けるために、第2の実施例(図2に示す)では、電話13a、13b、そして13cに電話ライン5から低域フィルタ(low pass filter){エルピーエフエス(LPF’s)}21a、21b、そして21cが追加される。更に、該ピーエステーエヌ配線17から又はそれへ誘導されるノイズを濾過するために、低域フィルタも又接続箱16に接続される。図1がその場合である様に、ライン5a、5b、5c、5d、そして5eは電気的に同じ対の導体であることに注意することが重要である。
この分野での追加的従来技術の特許は米国クラス(USA Class)第379/093.08号の下に見出し得るが、それは電話配線上で該電話配線(例えば、線及び出口)に何等変型を加えずにデータを搬送することに関する。本発明者への米国特許第5、841、360号及び米国特許出願第09/123,386号及び第09/357、379号は電話配線を、その各々が2つの電話出口に接続する別個のセグメントに該配線を分割することにより、変型させることを示唆した最初のものである。この方法で、該ネットワークは’バス(bus)’トポロジーから’ポイントツーポイント(point−to−point)’トポロジーに変型され、より優れた通信性能を可能にする。
この様なネットワーク30の部分が図3で示され、図1及び2の出口11を取り換えた、出口31a及び31bを記述している。該電話配線5は別個のセグメント5a、5bそして5cに分割される。低域フイルター(エルピーエフ)及び高域フイルター(エイチピーエフ)が、電話通信とデータ信号の間を分割するために、各配線セグメント端部に接続される。図3で示す様にエルピーエフエス21b及び21cは配線セグメント5bの各端部に取付られる。該エルピーエフエスは該電話通信信号の通過を可能にするよう設計され、そして一緒に接続され、かくして該電話通信信号用の連続通路を提供する。該電話通信信号へのアクセスは出口内のコネクター12aと12bを経由して行われ、該コネクターへは電話デバイス13aと13bがそれぞれコネクター14aと14bを経由して接続される。かくして電話通信サービスは充分に保持される。スペクトラムの高い部分で搬送されるデータ信号は該電話線セグメント5bの各端部に接続された、エイチピーエフエス26aと26bを経由してアクセスされる。エイチピーエフエス22aと26bはそれぞれ該線セグメント5aと5cの端部に接続される。各エイチピーエフは、該電話配線上でデータ信号を送、受信するモデム23と27に接続される。モデム23a、27a、23bそして27bはそれぞれエイチピーエフエス22a、26a、22bそして26bに接続される。データユニット24aと24bは該出口内でコネクター(図中には示されてない)を経由して、それぞれ出口31aと31bに接続される。該データユニットは該出口内のデーテーイーインターフエースを経由して接続される。出口31aと31bはそれぞれデーテーイーインターフエース29aと29bを有する。各モデムからの2つと該デーテーイーからの1つの、各出口内の該3つのデータ流れ(data stream)はアダプター28aとアダプター28bにより扱われるが、該アダプターはそれぞれ出口31aと31bに役立つ。図3は関連機能用の全ての部品が出口内に収容された実施例を説明しているが、これらの機能用部品のいくつかだけが該出口内に含まれた他の実施例も又あり得る。
[電力ライン]
該家庭内で、普通50又は60Hzの周波数である電力の配電用に使用される配線上でデータを伝送することが可能である。該電力へのアクセスは該家庭中に分布する電力出口(power outlet)を経由して利用可能である。この様な配線は2線(相用及び中性点用)又は3線(相用、中性点用、及び接地用)から成る。
エフデーエム技術のみならず他のそれも電力ライン上でのデータ通信を可能にするため使用される。この分野で多くの従来技術の特許が米国クラス340/310で見出し得る。
[ケーブルテレビジョンライン]
家庭内でテレビジョン信号の配布用に使用される配線上でデータを伝送することも可能である。この様な配線は通常同軸ケーブル(coaxial cable)である。
電力ラインとケーブルテレビジョン配線の両システムは図1に説明した電話ライン構造と似ている。該配線システムは通常壁内に配置された、導体に基づき、これらの配線へのアクセスは、各々が該配線に直接接続されたコネクターを収容する専用出口を経由して得られる。これら全てのシステムに共通していることは該配線が専用目的(電話、電力、又はケーブルテレビ信号配布)のために設置されている事実である。これらの現在の配線システムの1つがデータ搬送用に使われる所ではどこでも、元のサービス(電話通信、電力、又はテレビジョン信号配布)が影響されないことが望ましい。該元のサービスと共存して該媒体上でデータを搬送するために専用モデムが使用される。
現在の配線を使用する時、導電ライン上で通信するために普通、特定の配線式モデムが必要であり、該導電ラインへのアクセスは関連出口を経由して提供される。通信媒体として導電ラインを使うことは高いバンド幅を可能とし(allow for)、ローバスト(robust)で費用効果のある通信を提供する。加えて、大抵の場合家全体をカバーすることを可能にする大きい間隔に亘る通信が可能であり、それにより該家の中でどの出口からもう1つへも通信を保証する。
しかしながら、この様なネットワークはデータユニットが、通常該データユニットから適当な近くの出口までのケーブルに依って、該出口に接続されることを必要とする。これは該接続を複雑で使い難くすると共に、該データユニットが適当な出口に近接して存在することを要求し、該家内の幾つかのデータユニットについて可動性(mobility)を損ねる。
[無配線式通信(Non−Wired Communication)]
家庭内のデータネットワーク化用の無配線式解決は導電媒体無しで伝播する波動を使う。普通3つの主な技術が使用される。
1.無線周波数(アールエフ)。データユニット間のデータ伝送は無線周波数電磁信号を用いて達成出来る。例として、アイイーイーイー(IEEE)802.11が使用出来る。
2.光。データユニット間のデータ伝送は可視又は非可視スペクトラム内の光で達成出来る。最近、赤外線{アイアール(IR)}ベースの通信が最もポピュラーである。大抵のこの様なシステムは通信データユニットの’視線’配置(’line−of−sight’ placement)を必要とする。
3.音声(Sound)。データユニット間のデータ伝送はオーデイオスペクトラム(20−20、000Hz)か、又は非可聴スペクトラム{20,000Hzを上回る、超音波、又は20Hzを下回る、可聴下音(infrasonic)}か何れかの、音波で達成出来る。
光及び無線電波(radio wave)は共に電磁現象であるが、それらは電磁スペクトラムの異なる部分を占め、本発明の目的用に顕著に異なる特性を有することが注目される。かくして、光及び無線電波は別個の物理現象としてここでは扱われる。
無配線式データネットワークの例40が図4で示される。無配線式トランシーバー42aと42bがそれぞれ中へ結合される2つのデータユニット41aと41bが示される。該無配線式トランシーバー42aと42bは何等導電媒体無しに空間43上を通信する。もし無線周波伝送が使用されるならば、該トランシーバーは無線周波トランシーバーであり、空間43上の通信は無線周波電磁波の伝播に基づく。同様に、光ベースの通信の場合、トランシーバー42aと42bは光放射器{例えば、エルイーデー(LED)}と光検出器{例えば、光電セル(photoelectric cell)}を利用し、空間43上の通信は光の伝播に依る。同様に、空間43上の音声ベースの通信の場合、該トランシーバーはマイクロフオンとスピーカーを使用し、通信は該空間43内の空気を通しての音波の伝播に依る。
これらの解決策はケーブルの様な物理的接続部を何等要しないので、それらは使い易さと可動性の両者を提供する。しかしながら、これらの無配線式解決策は短い間隔でのみ有効である。更に、該信号の減衰のために、大抵の該無配線式解決策は壁や他のこの様な障害物を容易には通過出来ない。従って、この様な技術は1つの室内の通信用に好適であるが、家庭又は建物の室間の通信用には好適でない。
ロビン(Robbins)への米国特許第4、509、211号及びグッドマン(Goodman)への欧州特許EP第0798923号は共に配線式及び無配線式の両セグメントを組み合わせるシステムを説明している。該配線式セグメントは電話又は同軸ケーブル上でアナログビデオ信号を搬送することに専用化され、該無配線式の部分は該ビデオ信号に沿うアイアール(IR)制御信号を搬送することに関している。これらの特許のどちらも一般的データネットワーク化に関しておらず、該無配線式信号のみが、その単独役割が該関連ビデオ信号を制御するべき単方向制御信号に関係している。同様に、ゴーマン(Gorman)へのPCT出願第WO99/25098は該住宅周りの電話通信信号を配布するため使用される住宅内無配線式ネットワークを説明しており、一方もう1つのネットワークは該住宅周りにデータを配布する単独目的のため現在の電話配線を使用している。しかしながら、該2つのネットワーク(音声とデータ)は減結合され、実際は2つの独立したネットワークである。
米国特許第4,509,211号及び欧州特許EP第0798923号は共に該赤外線リンクの動作範囲を拡張するために電話(又は他の)配線(wireline)ネットワークを経由し赤外線制御ユニットを使用してテーブイ(TV)セット又はブイシーアール(VCR)の遠隔制御を可能にする同じニーヅに取り組んでいる。すなわち、両室内の適当なトランシーバーの使用により異なる室内のテーブイ又はブイシーアールを制御するように該赤外線リンクの範囲が拡張され得る。換言すれば、これらの両参考文献では原理的考慮は該制御ユニットであり、該配線ネットワークは単に該制御ユニットへの付属物(adjunct)又は延長(extension)である。
本発明は、無線式ユニット(wireless unit)への付属物でなく、寧ろ、そこでは無線式ユニットは該ネットワークが有線と無線の両データ通信(wireline and wireless data communication)を可能にするよう拡張されるような該ネットワークの必要不可欠部品である、様な完全集積化データネットワークを提供するニーヅに関する。この様な集積化ネットワークでは有線か又は無線か何れかの接続を使用して該ネットワークを通して同じデータが搬送されることが出来なければならない。これは、両方の場合、無線で運ばれるよう受け入れられるデータのみが該アイアール(IR)又はアールエフ(RF)制御データである、米国特許第4、509、211号及び欧州特許EP第0798923号での場合でない。該アイアール又はアールエフ制御データは該ネットワークの配線式ポート内へ直接運ばれ得ず、実際、そうする何等のモチベーションも無いが、それはそれが本来無線式であるからである。しかし、例えモチベーションの欠如を離れても、該アイアール又はアールエフ制御データは普通該ネットワークを通して運ばれるそれとは異なる種類のデータである。
米国特許第4、509、211号も欧州特許EP第0798923号も共に、該ネットワークの1点で無線で運ばれたデータは該ネットワークのもう1つの点で配線接続を介して受信され得るように、同じデータが(必要があればプロトコル変換後)該ネットワークを通して運ばれることを可能にしない。寧ろ、テーブイセット又はブイシーアールの遠隔制御用に意図されたアイアール又はアールエフ制御データは共に該ネットワーク内に供給されそしてアーアール又はアールエフ信号として該ネットワークから外へ供給されねばならず、それはさもないと該制御データは該遠隔のテーブイセット又はブイシーアールを制御出来ないからである。
かくして、この様なデータユニットが家庭又は他の建物内でネットワーク化出来て、一方可動性と使用の容易さを提供する様な、データユニット間の家庭内でのデータネットワーク化を実施する手段の、広く認識されたニーヅがあり、それを持つことは非常に有利である。
特に、互換性を有するよう配線によるか又は無線でか何れかで同一データの伝播をサポートするネットワークを提供することは望ましい。更に、この様なネットワークと共に使用するためのトランシーバーは追加的部品の外部接続の必要無しに該トランシーバーを経由して直接該ネットワークへ配線式か無線か何れかの接続を可能にすべきである。
本発明は配線式又は無配線式セグメント(wired or non−wired segments)を有する建物内データ通信ネットワークを開示する。該配線式セグメントは該建物内に設置された導電ラインに基づく。データ通信をサポートすることに加えて、これらの導電ラインは、電話サービス、電力サービス、又はケーブルテレビジョンサービスの様な、データ通信信号の伝送の他の第1位のサービスを同時発生的に配布するものであり、該第1位のサービスを配布するために元々設置された予め存在する線(pre−existing wires)であってもよい。該配線への直接アクセスを可能にするため専用出口が使用される。本発明は該導電ラインをデータ通信信号の伝送(transport)と該第1位のサービスの両者用に同時発生的に利用する手段を用いるが、これら2つの使用間に何等干渉は無い。該無配線式セグメントは、光又は無線電波に依るか又は空気中の音波に依る様な、開放空間を通って伝播する波動を介し、導電媒体無しの通信を使う。
該配線式及び無配線式セグメントは1つ以上の出口内の回路により組み合わされる。該結合デバイスは、特定の配線式モデムを使用して該配線式ネットワークに接続するための1つのポートを有するモジュールである。該デバイスのもう1つのポートは無配線式モデムを使用して該無配線式セグメントに接続する。アダプターが該配線式セグメントと該無配線式セグメントの間のデータ流れを扱い、もし必要なら、プロトコル変換用の用意を有する。
両セグメントを接続する該モジュール、又は該モジュールの部品の何れかは、該出口内に完全に集積化されるか、該出口内に部分的に集積化されるか、或いは外部的にそれに結合されることが出来る。
従って、本発明の1側面に依れば、複数のデータユニット間でのデータ伝送用に建物内のローカルエリアネットワークが提供され、該ローカルエリアネットワークはそれぞれのアダプターモジュールを介して相互接続された少なくとも1つの配線式セグメントと少なくとも1つの無線式セグメントとを具備しており、

無線式セグメントへの無線式結合用無線式トランシーバーと、そして
互換性を有するよう配線によるか又は無線でか何れかで同一データの伝播を可能にするよう該配線式と無線式のセグメント間でデータを適合(conforming)させるために配線式トランシーバーと該無線式トランシーバーとの間に配置されたプロトコルアダプターとを有していることを特徴とする。
本発明のもう1つの側面に依れば、この様なローカルエリアネットワーク内で少なくとも1つの配線式セグメントと少なくとも1つの無配線式セグメントの間をブリッジするためのアダプターモジュールが提供される。該アダプターモジュールは、
少なくとも1つの無配線媒体上でデータ通信信号を伝送するために動作する少なくとも1つの無線式トランシーバーを具備しているが、該アダプターモジュールが、
建物内の少なくとも1本の導電ライン上でデータ通信信号を伝送するために動作する少なくとも1つの配線式トランシーバーとを具備しており、前記導電ラインは少なくとも2本の導体を有しており、そして該アダプターモジュールが又
互換性を有するよう配線によるか又は無線でか何れかで同一データの伝播を可能にするよう該配線式と無線式のセグメント間でデータを適合させるために該配線式トランシーバーと該無線式トランシーバーとの間に配置されたプロトコルアダプターを具備することを特徴とする。
この様なアダプターモジュールは出口内に全部が又は部分的に集積化されてもよい。
本発明のなお更に進んだ側面に依れば、データ通信信号を伝送するローカルエリアネットワークであり、該ローカルエリアネットワークが配線式セグメントと無線式セグメントとを有する、該ローカルエリアネットワークをサポートするよう建物内の現在の配線をアップグレードするための方法が提供されるが、該方法は、
配線式トランシーバーを経由して出口を該配線式セグメントに接続する過程と、そして
該配線式トランシーバーと無線式トランシーバーとの間に接続された出口内のアダプターモジュールを経由して該配線式セグメントと該無線式セグメントとの間をブリッジする過程とを具備しているが、該方法が
該出口内に必要不可欠部品として該配線式トランシーバーを提供する過程と、そして
互換性を有するよう配線によるか又は無線でか何れかで同一データの伝播を可能にするよう該配線式と無線式のセグメント間で、該アダプターモジュール内で、データを適合させる過程とを具備することを特徴とする。
本発明は、単なる例により、付属する図面を参照してここでは説明される。
住宅又は他の建物用の普通の従来技術の電話ライン配線構成を示す。 住宅又は他の建物用の電話ライン配線に基づく第1の従来技術のローカルエリアネットワークを示す。 住宅又は他の建物用の電話ライン配線に基づく第2の従来技術ローカルエリアネットワークを示す。 従来技術の無配線式通信ネットワークを示す。 本発明のモジュールを示す。 本発明のローカルエリアネットワークを示すが、そこでは電話線が該配線式セグメント用にそして無線周波数通信が該無配線式セグメント用に使用される。 該配線式セグメントとしての電話ラインと該無配線式セグメント用の無線周波数通信とに基づくローカルエリアネットワークの第2実施例を示す。 本発明に依るネットワークをサポートするために現在の導電ラインをアップグレードするためのキットを示す。
本発明のネットワークの原理と動作は図面と付属する説明を参照して理解される。該図面と説明は単なる概念的なものである。現実の実施では、1つの部品が1つ以上の機能を実施出来るが、代わりに各機能が複数の部品と回路により実施されることも可能である。該図面と説明では、異なる実施例又は構成に共通な部品を同一引用数字が示している。
本発明は配線式/無配線式ネットワークアダプターモジュール(これ以降”モジュール”として引用される)に基づいている。この様なモジュール50の機能的説明は図5で示される。該モジュールは該配線式ネットワークに接続するための物理的ポート54を有する。該配線式ネットワークとの通信は配線式トランシーバー51により行われる。配線式トランシーバーポート54とトランシーバー51は配線式ネットワークの種類に依る。電話ラインベースのネットワークにインターフエース(Interfacing)することは電話ライントランシーバーを要する一方、電力ラインネットワークに接続することは電力ライン専用モデムを要する。加えて、該配線式ネットワークへの接続は、規制上と安全上の要求を充たすための特定手段のみならず基本的サービス(例えば、電話通信サービス、電力配電)が実質的に劣化又は影響されないことを保証するための特定手段をも要する。
該無配線式セグメントはポート55を介してインターフエースする。ポート55は導電性媒体無しで通信する。この無配線式セグメントを用いての通信は無配線式モデム/トランシーバー53により扱われる。該用語”無配線式モデム(non−wired modem)”はここでは導電性媒体を要せずにデータ通信出来る何等かのデバイスを示す。該配線式セグメントへの及びそれからのデータと該無配線式セグメントへの及びそれからのデータはプロトコルアダプター(protocol adaptor)52により扱われる。プロトコルアダプター52は透明ユニット(transparent unit)として働き、リピーター(repeater)/リジェネレーター(regenerator)として作用し、オーエスアイモデル(OSI model)の物理層のみを取り扱う。しかしながら、より高い層も該プロトコルアダプター52により扱われ得る。この様な場合、該プロトコルアダプターはブリッジ、ルーター、ゲートウエイ(gateway)又は必要な何等かの他の適応機構として機能する。
モジュールの他の機器は図5に示さない論理部、制御部、処理部、記憶部、電源そして他の部品を有してもよい。モジュール50によりサポートされる通信は単信システム(simplex)(単方向、該配線式から該無配線式セグメントの方へ又はその逆)、半二重(half−duplex)又は全二重(full duplex)とすることが出来る。モジュール50aは電話ラインネットワークセグメントを無線周波ネットワークセグメントへ接続する。モジュール50aは配線式ネットワークインターフエースとしての電話ラインモデム51aと、該無配線式ネットワークセグメントへのインターフエースとしての無線周波モデム53aと、そしてプロトコルアダプター52aとを使う。モジュール50bは本発明の実施例であるが、その中では該電話ライントランシーバーが、前に論じたデイヒターによっても使用された様に、高域フイルター(エイチピーエフ)22a及びデータ端末装置(デーシーイー)23aにより実現され得る。
図6は配線式及び無配線式セグメントを有する本発明のネットワーク60の実施例を示す。該配線式セグメントは図1に説明した様な建物内の電話配線5に基づく。出口11bと11cは変更されないが、出口11aと11dはそれぞれモジュール50dと50eを有するそれぞれの出口61dと61aにより取り替えられる。基本的電話サービスは出口61dと61aにそれぞれ低域フイルター(エルピーエフ)21dと21aを使うことにより保持される。該エルピーエフエスはそれぞれ電話コネクター12dと12aに接続され、電話デバイスの接続を可能にする。これは出口61a内のコネクター12aへコネクター14aにより接続された電話13aにより図解される。デイヒター型データ通信ネットワークはモデム及びエイチピーエフを経由してデータ端末装置(デーテーイー)に接続することにより確立されるが、それはデーシーイー23bに接続されたデーテーイー24bにより図解される様であり、該デーシーイー23bはエイチピーエフ22bに接続され、該エイチピーエフは今度は出口11bのコネクター12bを経由して電話配線5に直接接続される。
ネットワーク60の無配線式部分は無線周波数伝送に基づき、1対の無線周波トランシーバー53(図5)を利用する。図6に示す様に、デーテーイーエス24dと24aはそれぞれ無線周波トランシーバー53cと53bに接続される。今度は、各この様な無線周波トランシーバーはそれぞれ無線周波トランシーバー53d及び53eと通信するが、それらはそれぞれ出口61dと61aの中に集積化されている。
ネットワークの該配線式及び無配線式セグメントを集積することはモジュール50dと50eとにより達成され、その各々は図5のモジュール50cにより図解される。モジュール50dと50eはそれぞれ出口61dと61a内に集積化される。各この様なモジュールは電話モデムにより該ネットワークの配線式セグメントとインターフエースする。各この様なモデムはデイヒター型ネットワーク用に前に説明した様に、高域フイルター22とデーシーイー23を有する。ネットワーク60の該無配線式セグメントとインターフエースすることは無線周波トランシーバーを経由して行われるが、そこではモジュール50dと50eはそれぞれ無線周波トランシーバー53dと53eを有する。両セグメント間のプロトコル及びデータの変換はアダプター52(図5)により行われ、そこではアダプター52dと52eはそれぞれモジュール50dと50e内に集積化されている。
ネットワーク60はデーテーイーエス24d、24bそして24aがそれら間で通信することを可能にする。デーテーイー24bは配線式接続を経由して該ネットワークに接続されるが、該デーテーイーエス24dと24aは無配線式の仕方で通信出来る。図6は配線により接続される1つのデーテーイーと配線無しで接続される2つのデーテーイーエスを図解するが、各種類のどんな数のデーテーイーエスも接続出来ることは明らかである。更に、ネットワーク60では各出口は1つの配線式又は無配線式デーテーイー接続をサポートするが、他の実施例も又サポートされることが可能である。例えば、1つの出口は1つ以上の無配線式接続と同時に1つ以上の配線式接続を提供出来る。
図6はモジュール50が出口61内に集積化される場合を図解しているが、本発明の実施例は又該モジュールが該出口の外部にある場合も含んでいる。同様に、モジュールの選択された部分が出口内に集積化され、一方他の部分が外部にあってもよい。勿論、全ての場合に、該モジュールと該出口の間の適当な電気的、機械的結合が必要である。
ネットワーク出口が建物壁内で標準的出口と交換され得るように、ネットワーク出口は寸法、形状、そして全体的外観で標準的出口と物理的に同じ様である。全体的電話ラインレイアウト又は構成では変更は必要ない。
ネットワーク60は今までに提案されたネットワークを上回る明らかな利点を提供する。例えば、異なる部屋に配置されたデーテーイーエス{例えば、ピーシーエス(PC’s)}は何等かの線を使用する必要なく相互接続され得る。各デーテーイー内の無線周波トランシーバーは最も近い出口と通信し、該出口は電話配線媒体上で部屋間で通信する。
本発明は図3で図解される従来技術の配線式ネットワークに等しく良く適用され得る。図7はネットワーク70の部分を示す。出口31aは従来技術のネットワーク出口を表す。無配線式ネットワークセグメントへインターフエースするために、本発明の出口71が使用されねばならない。デーテーイー24aと接続された無線周波トランシーバー53bと通信する、出口71内の無線周波トランシーバー53aを除くと、出口71は出口31aと同じ様である。この実施例では、該モジュールは2つの電話ラインモデム23bと27b、3ポートアダプター72(該2つの配線式ポートと該1つの無配線式ポート用の)、そして無線周波トランシーバー53aを有する。従来技術のトポロジーにより提供された利点はこの構成用にも又適用される。
上記では本発明は、該配線式媒体が電話ラインシステムに基づきそして電話線と電話出口とを含む場合について説明されて来たが、本発明は、電力配電やケーブルテレビジョン信号配信に基づくそれらの様な他の配線式システムにも等しく適用出来る。電力配電システムの場合、家屋内の配電用に使われる電気的な配線と出口が使用される。同様に、ケーブルテレビジョン配線及び出口も又使用され得る。全ての場合に、該配線システムが設置された基本的サービスである、電話通信サービス、電力配電、又はテレビジョン信号、を保持することは必要である。これは通常、該基本的サービスから該データ通信ネットワークを分離するためのみならず、現在同じ配線を使用している該2つの役割間の何等かの種類の干渉を避けるために、適当な回路を付加することにより達成される。例えば、該エルピーエフエス21a、21b、21cそして21d及びエイチピーエフエス22a、22b、26aそして26b(図7)は該データ通信ネットワークから該電話通信サービスを分離する、そしてその逆を行う役割に役立つ。
上記で本発明が、無線周波伝送により無線式通信が達成される場合について説明して来たが、本発明は、
1.他の形式の電磁的伝送により達成される無配線式通信。電磁的スペクトラムの種々の部分の電磁波が通信用に使用出来る。例えば、低周波電磁放射は搬送波(carrier)無しに短い距離に亘りオーデイオ周波数信号を伝送するた使用出来る。無線周波伝送はこの一般的電磁的伝送の特殊ケースである。前に注意した様に、光も又電磁的放射の特殊ケースであるが、光の特性は該電磁的スペクトラムの他の使用可能な部分での電磁的伝送のそれらと特異に異なるので、ここでは別に取り扱われる。
2.光により達成される無配線式通信。可視又は非可視波長の光がこの様な伝送用に使用され得る。前に注意した様に、現在最もポピュラーなものは赤外線{アイアール(IR)}ベースの通信である。大抵のこの様なシステムは実質的に’視線(line−of−sight)’のアクセスを要する。
3.音響により達成される無配線式通信。可聴音(audible sound)(20−20000Hzのバンド)か又は非可聴音(inaudible sound)(20000Hzより上の超音波;又は20Hzより下の可聴下音)か何れか、
の様な、他の種類の無配線通信にも等しく適用できる。
説明したデータ通信機能に加えて、本発明のネットワークは又制御(例えば、ホームオートメーション)、検出、オーデイオ、又はビデオ応用品用に使用出来て、該通信も又アナログ信号を利用出来る{ここでは用語”アナログ通信(analog communication)”により示される}。例えば、ビデオ信号は該ネットワークを経由してアナログ形式で伝送され得る。
[アップグレードキット(Upgrade Kit)]
本発明も又上記説明のネットワークをサポートするために現在の導電ラインをアプグレードするためのキットを考慮している。図8は出口132と出口134と設置取扱説明書136を含むこの様なキットの実施例を図解している。出口132は配線式セグメントへ接続するための接続部144と、建物壁内に設置するためのフランジ146の様な設置点(mounting points)とを有する。又出口132はケーブル経由で外部デバイスへ接続するためのジャック138とジャック140、そして無配線式セグメント経由で外部データユニットへ接続するための変換器142を有する。出口132内には、前に説明され、図5で図解された、本発明のモジュールがある。1実施例では、変換器142は無線周波トランシーバーである。もう1つの実施例では、変換器142は組み合わされた発光ダイオードとフオトセル(photocell)受信器である。なおもう1つの実施例では、変換器142は組み合わされたスピーカーとマイクロフオンである。同様に、1実施例では、ジャック138は電話ジャックである。もう1つの実施例では、ジャック138は電力ソケットである。なおもう1つの実施例では、ジャック138はケーブルテレビジョンジャックである。1実施例では、ジャック140はデータジャック(data jack)である。図8に図解される該キットの実施例は2つの出口、出口132と出口134を有し、それらは実質的に同一に図解されている。しかしながら、もう1つの実施例では、該キットは出口132だけを有する。なおもう1つの実施例では、出口134は変換器を含まない。又異なる実施例では、他の変型品もあり得る。
少なくとも1つの配線式セグメントと少なくとも1つの無配線式セグメントとを有するローカルエリアネットワークをサポートするために、建物の現在の配線のアップグレードでの使用に、該出口と該アダプターとが別々の部品として提供されてもよいことは評価されるであろう。それらは、本発明により前にアップグレードされたハイブリッドネットワークを更に拡張するために同様に独立した使用を見出してもよい。この様な出口は、該出口を少なくとも1つの無配線式セグメントに接続するための(無配線モデム/トランシーバー53により構成された)第1カプラーと、該出口をアダプターモジュール50経由で現在の配線に接続するための(配線式トランシーバー51により構成された)第2カプラーとを備えて提供される。該アダプターモジュールは該出口内に完全にか又は部分的にか何れかで集積化されてもよい。
本発明に依って、ネットワークをサポートするために建物内の現在の導電ラインをアップグレードする方法は、
(a)配線式モデムを提供する過程と、
(b)無配線式モデムを提供する過程と、
(c)配線式セグメントと無配線式セグメントの間のデータ通信を取り扱うアダプターを提供する過程と、そして
(d)出口を提供する過程と、そして
(e)該出口に該配線式モデムと、無配線式モデムと、そして該アダプターとを装備する過程とを具備する。
本発明は限られた数の実施例に関して説明されたが、本発明の多くの変更、変型そして他の応用が行われることは評価されるであろう。本発明は、全てのこの様な変型と応用について、それらが付属する請求項の範囲内に含まれる限り、それらを包含する。
