Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a channel control method for a digital mobile communication system, and more particularly to a channel control method for a digital mobile communication system using a multi-channel access method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional channel control system of a digital mobile communication system using a multi-channel access system, the first communication control performed when a mobile station calls a base station is to control a control channel. Communication control for capturing is performed. As a technique for capturing the control channel, a frequency of a wireless channel that can be used as a control channel among wireless channels set between the own station and a peripheral base station is described. Technology for receiving the "channel information broadcast channel (perch channel)" for the first time and then knowing the frequency of the control channel based on the information obtained from the "perch channel" There is a “perch channel” scheme.

Next, the above-mentioned "perch channel" system will be described.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a flow of a control channel acquisition operation in a channel control system of a conventional digital mobile communication system.

When a mobile station is powered on or comes in from outside the service area of a base station (step 21), for example, three radio frequencies (F1, F2) , F3) can be received. It is also assumed that two of the three radio frequencies (F1 and F2) are “perch channels”. The mobile station that is turned on or enters from outside the area first sets the frequency (F1) as a “perch channel” in the receiver of the mobile station (step 22), and determines the reception level (step 23). ). At this time, if the reception level of the frequency (F1) is not present or is equal to or less than the specified value (NO), the process returns to step 22 to change the setting to another frequency of the "perch channel" (F2) and repeat the step. At 23, the reception level is determined. If the reception level is not present even at the frequency (F2) or is equal to or lower than the specified value, the two radio frequencies of the “perch channel” (F
The above processing is repeated for 1 and F2).

For example, in step 23, the reception level of the frequency (F1) of the "perch channel" is equal to or higher than a specified value (YE
In the case of S), the frequency (F1) of the "perch channel" is received and decoded, and the "perch channel"
A control channel that can be used by the own station or a neighboring base station is checked based on the information held by the base station. At this time, it is assumed that two radio frequencies (F2 and F3) can be used as a control channel (step 24). The mobile station
If the frequency (F3) is to be set as a control channel from the two radio frequencies (F2 and F3), the frequency (F3) of the control channel is set in the receiver (step 25), and the reception level is set. A determination is made (step 26). When there is no reception level or below the specified value (NO
) Returns to step 25, changes the setting to the frequency (F2) of another control channel, and repeats this processing between the two radio frequencies (F2 and F3) until reception at the specified level is possible. If the reception level is equal to or higher than the specified value (in the case of YES), the control channel is received / decoded, the system broadcast information obtained from the received and decoded control channel is obtained (step 27), and a standby state is entered (step 27). 28).

By the time the mobile station enters the standby state, the mobile station normally performs at least two times of level verification processing and information acquisition from the reception channel by receiving the “perch channel” and the control channel. This has to be done, and the efficiency deteriorates in a system with a small number of radio channels that can be used as a “perch channel” and a control channel.

Next, as communication control performed by the mobile station, there is communication control performed when a call is made for a communication request.
The amount of control data included in the call signal is generally large, and the call signal is often composed of a plurality of frames. Also, when the mobile station transmits, the frame transmitted first at the start of transmission, that is, the first frame,
On the base station side, a guard signal is required to prevent collisions / interference with transmission frames from other mobile stations,
The signal format of the first frame is different from that of the continuous frame transmitted following the first frame. For this reason, in the signal receiving process at the base station, since it is not possible to determine whether the signal to be received is the first frame from the mobile station or a continuous frame, a receiving process to perform as if the received signal is the first frame, A reception process performed as a continuous frame is performed simultaneously and in parallel, and only a decoded frame signal is determined and received as a first frame or a continuous frame.
At this time, as the first frame, timing is set in the guard section, the remaining data section is decoded, and it is determined whether or not the received signal has been decoded. This determination processing can be easily realized by processing such as adding a check bit such as a CRC code in addition to error correction processing encoding. As for the continuation frame, the data section is decoded according to the signal synchronization received immediately before, and it is determined whether or not decoding is successful. By such determination processing, of the reception processing performed as the first frame and the reception processing performed as the continuation frame, which are performed simultaneously and in parallel, the frame received on the correctly received side is the signal received. It is determined that there is, and it is taken over to the next processing.

[0009] Further, a problem common to the mobile station and the base station is that the signal transmitted on the communication channel is information between the mobile stations such as a voice signal (a non-voice signal including a voice signal and a facsimile signal). Or, determination of control information for communication control, and determination of non-voice signals including voice signals and facsimile signals, and determination of whether the transmission signal during communication is a valid signal or an invalid signal, Although it is necessary to determine the type of various signals, these determination methods often employ an algorithm that performs reception processing of received signals simultaneously and in parallel.

[0010]

In the above-mentioned conventional channel control method of the digital mobile communication system, in the case of the "perch channel" method, which is a control channel acquisition technique, a perch channel for signaling is provided. There is a drawback in that the control channel becomes unnecessary in addition to the communication channel and that it takes a long time to acquire the regular control channel because the regular control channel cannot be identified until the perch channel is acquired.

In the base station, a method for determining the type of a frame signal received from a mobile station is described in the following. In order to determine whether a signal to be received is a head frame or a continuation frame from a mobile station, a signal to be received is determined. Has to be performed simultaneously and in parallel with the reception processing performed as a first frame and the reception processing performed as a continuous frame, which has a disadvantage that the processing circuit becomes complicated.

In the method of determining the type of a signal during communication, a process for determining the type of various signals during communication, that is, when a signal transmitted on a communication channel is a moving signal such as a voice signal. Judgment of information between stations or control information for communication control, judgment of non-speech-based signal including voice signal and facsimile signal, and valid or invalid transmission signal during communication Since the simultaneous and parallel processing necessary to perform various determinations such as the determination is performed, a high-speed reception signal processing unit used for a base station or a mobile station is required, and an expensive arithmetic CPU,
It has the disadvantage of requiring a signal processing algorithm that enables high-speed processing and a large memory capacity.

An object of the present invention is to reduce the time required to capture a control channel as in the perch channel method, and to eliminate the need for simultaneous and parallel processing for processing received signals and performing various signal types. It is an object of the present invention to provide a channel control method of a digital mobile communication system which can be completed.

One of the radio frequencies is set in the receiver (step 12), and a level test is performed (step 13). If the reception level does not exist or is equal to or lower than the specified value (NO), the process returns to step 12 to change the setting to another radio frequency, and repeats this processing until the reception can be performed at the specified level.

08, the signal is modulated to a radio frequency, transmitted to the antenna 201 via the duplexer 207, and transmitted from the antenna 201 to the mobile station 3.

On the other hand, when the mobile station 3 turns on the power in the service area of the base station 2 or enters from outside the service area, the control unit 306 transmits the downlink radio signal transmitted from the base station 2. Radio frequency group of channel (F
1, F2, F3) is selected, the selected radio frequency is set in the receiver 308, and the reception level of the received radio frequency is measured. As a result of the measurement of the reception level, if the reception level of the radio frequency (F1) exceeds the specified value, the receiver 308 receives and demodulates the radio frequency (F1), and

It is stored and transmitted to the mobile station 3.

The operation of the mobile station 3 is as follows. The radio frequency is set in the receiver 308, the reception level is measured, and the decoding processing unit 3
07 extracts the channel information signal from the radio channel signal, performs error correction code decoding processing, and outputs the control signal to the channel information signal processing unit 305 until the control signal is transmitted through the downlink control channel. This is the same as the case where the data is stored in the data section 403 and transmitted to the mobile station 3.

Upon receiving the wireless channel signal, channel information signal processing section 305 determines whether or not information indicating that the type of the wireless channel is a speech channel is included in the wireless channel information. Is output to the control unit 306. In the control unit 306, if the determination result is not a communication channel, the radio frequency group (F1, F2, F3) of the downlink radio channel transmitted from the base station 2 again.
Among them, any radio frequency other than the radio frequency (F1) is set in the receiver 308, and the above operation is repeated. When another radio frequency is set to the receiver 308 and the above operation is repeated, when it is detected that the radio channel information includes information indicating that the type of the radio channel is the call channel, the control is performed. The unit 306 outputs the voice / audio data stored in the data unit 403 in the radio channel signal transmitted from the base station 2 to the decoding unit 307.

The audio signal processing unit 309 extracts a control / audio signal from the audio / control signal and outputs the control / audio signal to the control unit 306.

Next, the operation of transmitting a call signal from mobile station 3 and the operation of receiving a call signal from mobile station 3 in base station 2 will be described.

In FIG. 1, when the mobile station 3 transmits a call signal to the base station 2 via the control channel, the control unit 3
06 is information indicating that the type of the wireless channel is the control channel, information indicating the type of the transmission frame structure, and the type of the signal stored and transmitted in the data unit 403 is a control signal for calling. Is output to the channel information signal processing unit 305, and a call signal for generating the control signal for calling is output to the control / voice signal processing unit 309. . The channel information signal processing unit 305 generates, for each frame, a channel information signal including information indicating whether the frame is the first frame or a continuous frame,
This is sent to the encoding processing unit 304. The control / voice signal processing unit 309 also generates a control signal for calling from the calling signal, and sends the control signal to the encoding processing unit 304. Encoding processing unit 304

Then, the channel information signal processing unit 101 of the line control station 1 extracts information information included in the channel information signal indicating whether the frame is the first frame or the continuous frame. , It is determined whether the frame is the first frame or the continuation frame. Based on the result of this determination, the decoding processing unit 211 receives the control signal for calling from the mobile station 3 stored in the data unit 406 in accordance with the instruction of the control unit 107 of the line control station 1. The frame of the channel signal is decoded by performing error correction code decoding processing as a head frame or as a continuation frame according to the frame structure determined by the above determination. Such processing is possible because the position where the channel information signal is stored is located at the same bit position in the leading frame and the continuation frame.

The process of determining the type of various signals during communication is performed as described in the process of determining the start frame and the continuation frame in the base station described above. Channel information section 40
