Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a base station to process hand-over in a short time by allowing the base station to receive changeover source information including identification information from a changeover source base station for a terminal number of a mobile terminal equipment in the case of a different base station detecting a hand-over request from the mobile terminal equipment. SOLUTION: A hand-over request signal from a hand-over request section 1a of a mobile terminal equipment 1 is detected by a base station 3 connected to a different station exchange 5. Then the base station 3 sends a changeover source information request signal with a terminal equipment number of a mobile terminal equipment 1 added thereto from a changeover source information collection section 3a. A base station 2 being a changeover source of the terminal equipment number of the mobile terminal equipment 1 returns changeover source information including the identification information of its own base station 2 and the identification information of the station exchange 4 to the terminal equipment of the terminal equipment number from a changeover source information reply section 2a. The base station 3 informs the changeover source information to the station exchange 5 being a changeover destination from an inter-station hand-over request section 3b. The station exchange 5 uses the information to select a communication path to the base station 3. Thus, the hand-over bridged over the stations is processed in a short time.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an inter-station handover system for mobile terminals. In recent years, mobile communication has been widely spread. In mobile communication such as personal handy phone system (PHS), the base station is connected to one central office and does not have a line between a plurality of exchanges, and each terminal is connected to only one base station. Since the mobile terminal has a communication line, it takes a long time to switch to another base station (called handover) when the line with the base station with which the mobile terminal is currently communicating becomes defective. , And its improvement is desired.

A procedure for performing a handover across a central office in a mobile communication system satisfying the above conditions will be described with reference to FIG. When the mobile terminal 86 is moving by communicating with the base station 82 connected to the same central office switch 80, the mobile terminal 86 transmits a handover trigger signal to which a switching source terminal number is added due to a line failure. When this is detected by the base station 83 at a close position, the base station 83 requests the switching center 80 for switching source information (switching source base station 82) using the terminal number. The central office exchange 80 searches for the switching source using the terminal number for the management information held by the local exchange, and the base station 8
Since station 2 belongs to its own station, the information of base station 82 is detected as a switching source, and central office switch 80 switches the communication path of mobile terminal 86 from base station 82 to base station 83.

[0008] When the mobile terminal 86 further moves to the base station 84 to cause a line failure, a handover trigger signal is transmitted similarly. In this case, the base station 84 receives this and requests the switching center 81 for switching source information. In response, the central office 81 searches for the management information held by itself, but cannot obtain the switching source information because it does not have the information of the mobile terminal 86. In order to perform the inter-office handover, information of the switching source base station 83 and the central office switch 80 is required in the exchange of the switching destination, so that the inquiry is performed by the central office 81. Since the signal (the signal generated from the mobile terminal 86) does not include the central office exchange information as the switching source information (it is not stored in the mobile terminal 86), there is no method for specifying the switching source. In order to cope with this, the information of the adjacent central office 80 is managed by itself, and the adjacent central office is inquired by brute force.
The current position information must be managed by the central office 79, which is a higher-order node of the central offices 80 and 81, and a method of inquiring the node must be adopted.

According to the present invention, in order to shorten the switching time of the inter-station handover, instead of inquiring the switching source between the central office exchanges, the base station, which is a lower-order node, notifies the location information of the switching source. It was done. It is conceivable that the mobile terminal, which is the lowest node, has location information. In this case, it is necessary to notify all mobile terminals of the location information of the central office, and to provide the user with information limited to the network. It is not desirable from the point of awareness. The communication between base stations for notifying the switching source information according to the present invention is more preferably performed wirelessly in terms of cost and technology, but can also be performed by wire.
