Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3.1 (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention constructs a mobile phone system that is portable and capable of making and receiving calls at any location connected to a general public telephone network, private telephone network, etc. Regarding the system.

3.2 (Prior art and its problems) Various types of mobile communications are currently in use in Japan, and among these, telephones that mainly transmit voice are used in various businesses such as coastal marine telephones, car telephones, cordless telephones, and factories. Communication communications are used only for internal purposes. These various mobile communications systems are operated independently, and it is impossible to make a call by bringing a cordless telephone into a car, for example. This is obvious from the fact that there are many differences, such as the frequency used and the control method of the control channel being different, and the required input electric field value of the opposing receiver being unsatisfied.

Cordless telephones generally consist of a portable telephone and a parent device that is connected to the telephone via a wireless line and to an exchange via a wired line. Furthermore, this phone and the parent device connected to it usually have a specific affiliation relationship, and the phone can communicate with parent devices other than that specific parent device even if they are located within a short distance where wireless communication is possible. Even if it is, it is impossible to communicate, and
Even if a telephone other than the telephone that is in a particular combination with the particular parent device exists within a short distance where wireless communication is possible, communication is impossible.

This is natural in a sense, and if the above impossible connection were made possible without any conditions, then
This may result in an erroneous connection, which may have negative effects such as erroneous billing or intentional transfer of charges to one's own telephone to another telephone.

As long as these devices are overcome technologically and each person owns one mobile phone, they can make calls anytime, anywhere, and from anywhere, and even if they are in any location, they want to make calls. The advent of a mobile telephone capable of receiving and receiving calls has long been a highly anticipated goal.

In terms of practical applications, the above aspirations have been realized in Japan today, where there are over 40 million public telephone terminals, and if you want to make a call while walking down a street, public telephones are installed everywhere. Furthermore, even in a society where you can make calls without any inconvenience, such as a car phone when you ride a car, a train public phone when you ride the Shinkansen, and a domestic ship phone when you are on a ship, the following still exist: This is for a reason.

This is because people keep their mobile phones as their personal belongings and want to use them as their own phones. In other words, when you go to another company (someone's home), you may find it difficult to refuse someone else's phone call for various reasons, or if you cannot find a public phone on the street in the city, or if you do not have money or telephone calls. If you don't have a SiCard, the red phone in front of the store becomes unusable after midnight and the store closes, and it's difficult to get to a place with a public phone in a crowded place such as a baseball stadium or an event venue. In such cases, it would be extremely convenient if you could use your mobile phone in the same way as your home phone.

The same goes for receiving calls from other people.If you can receive calls from other people anytime, anywhere, as long as you carry it with you, the convenience of receiving calls from other people will exceed the former method of making calls. Would.

That is, if you want to make a call while you are out, you can do so from a nearby public telephone, but you do not know when or if you will receive a call at a location other than your home or office. Additionally, if two people wishing to talk to each other are traveling in different locations, access may not be possible using traditional telephones.

In addition, emergency notifications can be made more easily and quickly than the current system, and if mobile phones can be used for credit (credit function) or as a substitute for certificates, as will be explained later, it would be even more convenient. .

Even today, there is a deep-rooted desire for the ultimate mobile phone to appear.

As a method to satisfy the above desire, various system proposals have been announced, although they are not perfect systems.

The first is a proposal to provide a "personal telephone service" (IEICE Circuit and Information Study Group Material 1N82-21). A system based on this concept (called the PID concept) is as follows.

FIG. 1 shows a conceptual diagram of a communication network based on the PID concept.

The subscriber is made to possess the above-mentioned personal number (PID) by writing it on, for example, a magnetic card. The PID written on this PID card is shared even when terminals (the terminal number is SID) are used with landline telephones, car telephones, 9 train telephones, etc., and are made public by putting them in a telephone number book, etc.

Landline phones, car phones, and all new terminals that will be developed in the future will have the ability to read the PID of a PID card and send that information to the communication network.

A centralized file or PF is installed in the communication network to store subscriber information (SID during subscriber registration, billing information, etc.) corresponding to the PID, and each terminal accesses the file and reads the incoming SID. A connection control function is provided to set up a line between calling and receiving terminals based on the following.

Each subscriber arrives at the location where the above-mentioned terminal is located (and P
Register the incoming SID using the ID card. A person who wants to communicate with that subscriber can use the PID
When the call is dialed, the originating exchange accesses the PID file, reads out the SID that corresponds to the PID of the terminating subscriber, and transmits the call to the terminating terminal in the same way as in a conventional exchange connection. As is clear from this connection procedure, it is possible for the originating subscriber to make a direct and immediate call without knowing the whereabouts of the terminating subscriber.

Furthermore, if a call is made using a PID card, billing information is recorded in detail in the own PID file no matter which terminal is used, so there is no need to distinguish between public telephones and privately subscribed telephones.

If the above system is realized, it will be possible to make and receive calls from a fixed telephone to any location using its own PID if it is nearby. However, it is impossible to make or receive calls while moving, for example, while walking in a city area.

Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, the centralized PID file (PF) is installed only at one location in the country, so the access traffic is heavy. For example, suppose that the file of a PID card holder living in Sapporo, Hokkaido is stored in Tokyo, which is a reasonable assumption since it is the only location in the country. Then, assume that the PID owner leaves his home, goes to a neighbor's house, and sends the PID information to a telephone terminal there. This information must then be sent to a central file in Tokyo and rewritten. In other words, even though the PID owner moves only a few tens of meters, data transmission must be made once from Sapporo to Tokyo, then from Tokyo to Sapporo (confirmation signal).

Since this kind of thing is carried out on a nationwide scale, it is a big disadvantage in terms of traffic volume and transmission costs.

Recently, a proposal for another method to solve these problems has been made (“Proposal of a mobile message communication method”, IEICE Communication Method Study Group Material C385-139 (1986, 1,
23)).

That is, according to the above-mentioned literature, it is extremely difficult to realize a mobile phone, which is the ultimate form of communication, and the following proposal is made.

That is, the following is proposed as a specific example of mobile message communication.

In the simple Aloha system with the basic configuration shown in FIG. 2, one uplink and one downlink channel frequency is assigned to each wireless zone. Messages destined for mobile stations are sent to the base station via the digital exchange of the fixed communication network, and are sequentially transmitted as packets from the base station. The called mobile station confirms that it has received the message correctly and sends a response signal back to the caller via the base station, and the caller confirms that the message has been delivered to the other party. The mobile station stores the message and notifies the recipient of the message.

The received signal reads the stored message.

Calls are randomly generated from mobile stations. Since the same frequency is used within the same zone, collisions occur with a certain probability. When there is no response signal, the calling party retransmits. Furthermore, if propagation conditions are poor and the signal cannot be received correctly, the base station detects an error and requests retransmission.

In other words, this method uses messages (a type of telegram) instead of voice, and is a proposal for recorded communication rather than real-time communication, so it does not satisfy the immediacy required for communication, and the details of the actual system configuration etc. will not be disclosed in the future. It has not been clearly stated as an issue to be considered.

Therefore, it seems that it will take time to realize this as it requires technical solutions.

Next, there is the following technology that slightly expands the area of the cordless telephone system using conventional technology (Japanese Patent Application No. 57-74
No. 143).

That is, this technology is configured to connect wirelessly to a master station wireless device provided at a subscriber line terminal of a wired communications switching network, and to connect to the wired communications switching network via a second master station wireless device. In the cordless subscriber telephone device, the cordless subscriber telephone is provided with means for encoding and automatically transmitting a subscriber number different from the subscriber line number of the subscriber line,
Each exchange is equipped with a means for decoding to which exchange the cordless telephone belongs from the subscriber address of the cordless telephone, and transmitting the location information and billing summary information of the cordless telephone to the exchange to which the cordless telephone belongs. The above-mentioned switching equipment is characterized in that it is equipped with a means for transferring incoming calls or tallying charges based on the above-mentioned information.

However, this technology was invented assuming a service area within one district or part of a city, and when targeting a wide area such as the Kanto area, Chubu area, or the whole country, the amount of signal transmission is limited. This is similar to the above-mentioned "personal telephone service", with increased technical and economic benefits. In addition, although this technology achieves the wide area coverage of cordless telephones, there is also the complexity of providing a subscriber's line number and another subscriber's line number as the cordless telephone number.

Furthermore, a plan is being considered to provide a mobile communication system that would integrate the subscriber telephone systems of each mobile radio communication system and allow subscribers to connect to the communication network no matter where they are by having one type of device. (Refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 151136/1983).

The purpose of this technology is to provide a mobile communication system that can economically reduce the subscriber equipment of the mobile communication system and economically eliminate areas where services are not available. That is, each mobile subscriber device is equipped with a car telephone radio base station, a mobile telephone radio base station, and a cordless telephone base unit connected to a terminal of this switching network, each of which is connected to one wired communication switching network. It is characterized by being configured so that it can be connected to either a base station or a master unit by setting up a wireless line.

However, with this proposal, for example, even if a cordless telephone subscriber gets into a car and tries to use the cordless telephone inside the car, even if it is possible to receive radio waves from the car phone base station, the radio waves emitted from the cordless telephone will not be transmitted to the base station. It is impossible to receive it. This is because the transmission power of a mobile phone for a car phone is currently 5cm, while the transmission power from a cordless telephone is currently 61cm.
This is because the level is as low as 1/800.

If the transmission power of the cordless telephone is increased to about 5W, it will be possible to receive the base station and make calls. However, the burden on the battery increases, the portable time of the cordless telephone is significantly reduced, and the battery capacity increases, resulting in an increase in size, making it inconvenient to carry and impractical. Therefore, it cannot be called a mobile phone, but rather a variation of a car phone.

Therefore, it is an inconvenient system that is far removed from the mobile phone system, which allows calls to be made anytime, from anywhere, and to anywhere.

The four proposals explained above can be considered approaches to mobile phone systems, but although they partially satisfy the ultimate mobile phone system, they are inconvenient for users, and further technological development is desired. Ta.

3.3 [Definition of Terms] This is one of the main components of the present invention, and is carried by the user at all times and is used to make and receive calls by radio, facing the mobile phone master device described later. FIG. 4(a) shows an example of the configuration of a mobile phone.

The radio section is equipped with multi-channel access technology, interference detection function, etc., and is equipped with various functions to ensure high frequency usage efficiency and high-quality calls. Further, the call signal is analog or digitally modulated by the modulator and transmitted as a modulated wave with high privacy to the opposing mobile phone master device through space. Furthermore, the demodulator demodulates the audio signal by a process reverse to that of the modulator and transmits it to the receiver. Transmission power is 6mW
The transmission power is approximately the same as that of current cordless telephones.

The mobile phone also has the function of displaying and storing the calling party's PID when receiving a call. The own mobile phone is given a self-identification number PID that is different from ■D added to other mobile phones or terminals of other systems. It is sometimes abbreviated as PID.

Further, in some cases, a plurality of mobile phones may be arranged for one fixed phone, which will be described below. For example, if each member of a family of five uses mobile phones with different PIDs in a house, five mobile phones will be installed. Of course, each of these mobile phones can be taken out of the house and used independently. In order to prevent use by a third party in the event of unauthorized borrowing or theft, a password may be provided and a key function may be provided.

It is paired with a mobile phone, and has almost the same functions as the cordless landline telephone service currently provided by NTT, except for the following points. That is, in addition to wirelessly transmitting and receiving calls to a mobile phone used as a permanent location (home area), it can access any mobile phone, and has the function of registering, changing, and deleting their location.

Figure 3G) shows the block configuration of the fixed telephone.

In the present invention, since the subscriber line may be used by a third party, it is desirable that the subscriber line is a multiplex line that allows calls on two or more lines at the same time.

This can be easily realized if optical fiber cables or the like are used for subscriber lines. A fixed-line telephone may be housed in the same housing as a mobile telephone master device, which will be described below. A fixed telephone has self-identification information SID that is different from other fixed telephones, similar to the PID. It is sometimes abbreviated as SID. In the main text, the landline phone in the home area of the mobile phone PID, is referred to as SID, -H or simply S.
It is sometimes written as ID. In addition to the functions normally used as a telephone terminal connected to a PBX or a local telephone exchange (hereinafter referred to as a type 1 exchange) by wire, a landline telephone has the following additional functions.

■Display of the current location of the mobile phone (location registration location).

■ A substitute call function when a call cannot be received to a mobile phone.■ A function to forward calls to a mobile phone. It faces the aforementioned mobile phone and is used for making and receiving calls wirelessly. This main device may be housed in the same housing as the above-mentioned landline telephone.

If functions are added to the currently used cordless telephone viewing device, which will be described later, it becomes a mobile phone master device. FIG. 4(b) shows its configuration diagram. The mobile phone master device is sometimes abbreviated as SID. SID the mobile phone master device in the home area
, is sometimes written.

Mobile phone wide area calling type 1 wireless base station (n = L
4. 5) A mobile phone is normally used as a communication partner facing a mobile phone master unit, but it is possible to receive calls in places with poor radio wave propagation or where there is no mobile phone master unit installed nearby. In other words, by using the powerful radio waves transmitted from the above-mentioned base stations, basements and underground malls in cities can also be served as a service area. The installation conditions are almost the same as for the current paging radio base station.

Type 4 wireless base stations are used to receive calls from mobile phones installed in moving objects such as automobiles, trains, and airplanes that are moving at high speed. The size of the transmitted radio waves and installation conditions are approximately the same as those of the current paging radio base station.

Type 5 wireless base stations are installed inside satellites and can provide service to mobile phones used inside ships and aircraft flying over the ocean, and even in deep mountains such as the Japanese Alps.

These radio base stations send out paging signals under the control of the n-th type exchange that has an interface with each of them.

In addition, the ringing signal simply indicates an incoming call (ringing) on the mobile phone.
In some cases, a call is made to the nearest mobile phone master device, and in other cases, if there is no wireless equipment nearby and a call cannot be expected, communication information addressed to the called mobile phone is included in the ringing signal.

Wireless channel (wireless line) This refers to the portion of the signal transmission path used in this system that uses wireless. The wireless channel is further divided into a control channel (control line) and a speech channel (speech line). Furthermore, when both of these are used together on the same channel (line), they are simply referred to as a wireless channel (wireless line).

In the present invention, as an example of a system used for explanation, a case having a control channel and a speech channel is shown, but the present invention is similarly applicable to a system in which the control channel is eliminated and all speech channels are used. In that case, the description of the control channel is replaced with the call channel, the transition to the call channel is replaced with the use of the own call channel, and if there are multiple call channels, a function that performs a circular search for any of them and captures an unused channel. All you have to do is have it.

Hougo channel (control line) A channel that communicates with the mobile phone before the user starts a call (or after the end of the call) in order to register the location and make/receive calls from the mobile phone. A signal communicated between a mobile phone master device or a first type wireless base station for wide area calling of a mobile phone is called a control signal, and this transmission path is called a control channel (control line).

In the present invention, the control channel mainly refers to the wireless system, but it can also be used between the mobile phone master device and the i-th type exchange, which uses the wired system as the main transmission path, and between the i-th type exchange and the j-th type exchange (i = 1.2°3, -・-n, j=1.2,3.
-...n) and a transmission path for control signals between mobile telephone wide area calling and type i wireless base stations that exchange control signals facing the type i exchange are also referred to as control channels.

Further, depending on the case, the same transmission path may be shared with the communication channel defined below, or may be used in a time-sharing manner.

The control channel through which the control signal transmitted to the telephone network side (more precisely, looking at the N-th type exchange) is called the uplink control channel when viewed from the mobile phone, and the control channel in the opposite direction is called the downlink control channel. Control signals transmitted from the mobile phone master device and the mobile phone may be transmitted all the time or only when necessary.

Call channel (call line) Refers to a transmission path through which the user's actual call signals (including image data signals in the case of e-media) are transmitted when calls are made or received from a mobile phone. In the present invention, the communication channel (speech line) using a wireless transmission path is mainly between the mobile phone and the mobile phone master device, but the control channel transmitted from the mobile phone wide area paging type i wireless base station is used as the communication channel. May be shared and used. In addition, between mobile phone master equipment and type 1 exchanges that use wired systems as the main transmission path, and between type i exchanges and type i exchanges (i
=1.2.3'---'n+ J =1+ 2+'
-+ n) and communication with a computer computer used in the mobile phone system in proof mode also uses the communication channel.

From the mobile phone's point of view, the call signal sent to the telephone network side (to be more precise, looking at the class N exchange) goes up the call channel (call line), and in the opposite direction goes down the call channel (call line). ).

Subscriber information storage unit Types 1 to 5 of each hierarchy A function possessed within the exchange that stores various information regarding mobile phone users (incoming and outgoing calls 1 location registration 1) with the subscriber information storage unit of the upper or lower exchange. Transmission/reception, storage, and reading of information such as billing information and special information such as credit information.

Make changes, deletions, etc. The subscriber information storage unit is subdivided into
It is divided into three parts: (1) location registration information storage, (2) billing information storage, and (2) special information storage for each subscribed sound. It may be abbreviated as MEM or memory section.

In addition, information such as the wireless channel number and SID of the parent device that communicates with the other device is stored, changed, and erased in the mobile phone master device as well as in the external mobile phone, which has almost the same function as the subscriber information storage unit. Possesses the ability to

Home area is a place where a mobile phone is permanently installed and refers to an area with a radius of 25 meters where it can communicate with a mobile phone parent device in a parent-child relationship. In Figure 8(a), the shaded circle indicates the mobile phone PID.
, indicating the home area of . Note that it is normal to have a fixed telephone set in the home area that is paired with a mobile telephone.

(This is not necessarily necessary.) Furthermore, all telephone charges used in the roaming area etc. will be charged to the mobile phone or landline telephone installed in the home area.

loam area Area when using a mobile phone outside the home area.

Roam areas are subdivided into the following five types depending on how far away they are from the home area.

Roam area within the same PBX The same PBX that accommodates the home area of the mobile phone
areas other than the home area. Usually used by mobile phones used within companies. The area indicated by the broken line in FIG. 8(a) is the roam area within the same PBX.

When using a mobile phone in an area other than the home area that is equivalent to the local telephone office where the first class ROHM area landline phone is accommodated (more precisely, the area occupied by the terminal housed in the first class exchange) area. The area indicated by the broken line in FIG. 8(a) indicates the first type roam area.

General residential mobile phones are often used in this area.

It is sometimes referred to as the KTC-I roam area.

Among the areas managed by the Type 2 ROHM area central office (more precisely, the Type 2 exchange), the area where you use your mobile phone in areas other than the Type 1 ROHM area.

It is sometimes referred to as the KTC-n roam area.

The area surrounded by the broken line in Fig. 8 To) indicates the second type roam area.

Type 3 ROHM Area An area where a mobile phone is used in an area managed by a Type 3 exchange other than the Type 2 ROHM area.

KTC-I [[Sometimes referred to as the inner roam area.

The area surrounded by the broken line in FIG. 8(C) indicates the third type roam area.

Type 4 ROHM Area An area where a mobile phone is used in an area managed by a Type 4 exchange other than the Type 3 ROHM area.

It is sometimes referred to as the KTC-IV inner entrance area.

The area surrounded by the broken line in FIG. 8(d) indicates the fourth type roam area. If it is installed on a car, aircraft, or ship and registers its location, it is considered to be in a Type 4 Roam Area.

Type 5 ROHM Area An area where a mobile phone is used in an area other than the Type 4 ROHM area managed by a Type 5 exchange. In our country, this area covers all of Japan (excluding Type 4 roaming areas).

It is assumed that a mobile phone owner in Japan is also in this area when using the mobile phone in a foreign country.

This refers to the case where a current cordless telephone system parent device (also called a connection device) is used as a wireless device that communicates with a mobile phone system mobile phone in cordless telephone mode.

Of course, in this case, it is assumed that functions have been changed or added to the parent device of the cordless telephone so that the mobile telephone of the present invention can exhibit the intended communication functions.

Additionally, this mode is subdivided into the following three modes.

Mobile phone in urban mode Mainly refers to cases where a mobile phone master device is installed inside or on an external wall of a private residence in a residential area in a city or a rural area, and a wireless zone is formed between this and nearby mobile phones. say. Usually, it is suitable when the call traffic is not very large (and the area density is uniform). Control signals are sent from the mobile phone master device only when necessary, and are always received on a predetermined control channel. However, even in a residential area, if there is a lot of call traffic for a particular mobile phone master device, or if there is a temporary and sudden abnormal call traffic when an accident or disaster occurs. To deal with this, the system has been configured to allow temporary transition to the business district mode mobile phone system described later.

Continuous location registration mode Mobile phone in request mode A mode in which a mobile phone sends location registration request signals continuously or at intervals according to a certain rule. Use this when carrying a mobile phone in a mobile phone service area in residential area mode, when you want to notify KTC-1 of your current location, or when you want to reliably receive incoming calls.

Business '-Mode & Language Work' Mainly in areas where people are concentrated, such as business districts, downtown areas, event venues, large markets and large-scale business offices in urban areas, call traffic is heavy (and in areas with large fluctuations). This refers to the case where a mobile phone master device is installed inside and outside each building as well as in public facilities such as utility poles, walls of public buildings, etc., and a wireless line is established between this and nearby mobile phones.

Control signals from the mobile phone parent device are constantly being sent out.
By capturing this information, a mobile phone can register its location and make and receive calls. In some cases, the number of talkable channels of the mobile phone master device is one, but in some cases, a plurality of channels can be talkable at the same time at the same location depending on call traffic.

However, depending on the type of business district, there may be areas where traffic drops significantly late at night, on festival days, etc. In such cases, the system is configured so that it is possible to switch to the above-mentioned residential area mode mobile phone system.

By using the current pager 1 paging radio wave as a downlink control channel for a mobile phone type mobile phone in pager mode, the mobile phone is notified of an incoming call, and if necessary, information addressed to the mobile phone is sent to the paging radio wave. Tell me the case.

This refers to the case where a mobile phone system mobile phone in car phone mode is brought into a car that is subscribed to the current car phone system, and communication is performed by connecting it to various equipment used in the car phone system.

Of course, in this case, it is assumed that functions have been changed or added to the car phone system so that mobile phones can be used.

Mobile phone in aircraft phone mode Each of the above four mobile phone modes uses a part of the radio telephone equipment installed in each mobile body to enable communication from the mobile phone of the present invention. It is called. Of course, this assumes that the current equipment has had its functions changed or added.

A mobile phone type mobile phone in wide area call mode is a mobile phone wide area call pipe n types (n=1.n=
4 or 5) It means that it is in a state where it can receive radio waves transmitted from a wireless base station.

Rather than using a mobile phone in I'I (P identification) mode as a communication terminal for making calls, you can use it to receive credit, various certificates, or withdraw cash from a bank account. Refers to when used as a cash card. Of course, even in these cases, the communication functions of the mobile phone can be effectively utilized.

3.4 (Objective of the Invention) The present invention provides a new concept that can be approximated as an ultimate mobile phone that can be realized in the relatively near future based on a new concept for the partially satisfied mobile phone system described above. The aim is to realize a mobile phone system that is practical and can be operated efficiently.

3.5 (Structure and operation of the invention) 3.5.1 Functions and characteristics of each main part (device) constituting the invention This shows the configuration when applied inside a building.

The first type exchange (KTC-I) is on the lower left side of Figure 3 (a).
This is connected by a subscriber line to the mobile phone master device in the house on the lower right side of the figure. A mobile phone master device, etc., which is the main component of the present invention, is installed in a house, and this and the mobile phone are connected wirelessly, and the fixed phone is connected by wire. Regarding the former, the upper part of Figure 3 also shows the main components of the mobile phone master device and the inside of the mobile phone, and the frequency band used may be any frequency as long as it is suitable for mobile communication, but here, for the time being, Like NTT cordless phones, it uses the 250/400 MH2 band.

FIG. 3(b) is a block diagram showing the configuration of the fixed telephone. In the figure, the mobile phone master device is connected to the hybrid H on the left. The configuration of the fixed telephone will be explained below. In FIG. 3(b), the dialing and signal transmitting section 1 is used when making a call, but it also includes a transmitter T and a talkie section for service in case of absence, and a one-touch, etc. when making a call. SI so that dialing signals can be sent
D. A PID storage unit is attached. Further, the dial and the signal sent from the signal transmitting section are not only stored in the calling information storage section 3 but also displayed on the display section 10 under the control of the control section 4. Also, information on the location registration destination when absent (SID, PID)
Provided for incoming call forwarding using . On the other hand, incoming calls to this landline phone are either when the power switch of the mobile phone installed as a companion to this phone is off, that is, it is not in a standby state, or when the phone is not in the home area and is somewhere in the roaming area. This is done when the mobile phone is in the area but cannot receive calls to the mobile phone due to the power being turned off or for some other reason, and the calls are forwarded at a certain timing. In this case, the signal receiving unit 2 operates, the ringing bell B rings, and when the user picks up the handset, the user can hear the other party's voice from the handset R, and the call begins. The received call information is stored in the received call information storage section.

In the Bokuto style, the system is configured so that the mobile phone master device can communicate with any mobile phone in the callable area, so even if you are at home and try to use a mobile phone PID or landline phone (SID). Considering the amount of traffic, there is a small possibility that the opposite mobile phone master device is communicating with another (third party) mobile phone, but it does occur with a certain probability. Therefore, there is no problem if there are two or more call channels, but in the introduction stage, one
In some cases, it may be a line, and in this case, a message indicating that a call cannot be made is displayed on the display unit 10 of the fixed telephone. This is because when the mobile phone main device is in use, a busy signal is sent from the subscriber line interface circuit in the mobile phone main device shown in FIG. This is done by receiving the information from the controller and displaying it on the display unit 10 according to instructions from the control unit.

Additionally, in this case, the owner of the landline phone can send a call end request signal using the dial and signal transmitter of the landline phone to urge the third party to end the call early. It is. This signal is then transmitted to the mobile phone master device, and from the mobile phone master transmitter shown in FIG. transmitted to the telephone.

The internal configuration of the mobile phone is shown in FIG. 4(a), and as will be described in detail later, it can be heard as an audible call end request signal from the receiving section in the figure, or the end call signal can be heard in the call acceptance/reception display section. Displays that a talk request signal is coming.

As a result of the above, if a mobile phone user moves from one place to another by about 20 to 25 meters, a new communication path will be set up with a new mobile phone master device installed there, and the conversation will continue. If the user continues the call at the same location even though he/she is aware that the call end request signal is coming, the timer 1- After a certain time due to 7, a call disconnection signal (end signal)
is sent to the mobile phone and the call is terminated.

Next, the mobile phone master device will be explained. The left side of FIG. 4 et al. shows the internal configuration of the device. This device is connected to the subscriber line and the fixed telephone on the left side through the subscriber line interface circuit 1-8. Further, the telephone signal is connected to the transmitting section 1-5 and the receiving section 1-2 via the control section, and the control signal is transmitted via the control section 1-3 to the "synthesizer oscillator" 1-4 to receive the desired signal. is used to capture the communication CH.

In addition, the timer 1-7 in FIG. 4(b) is not only used to obtain billing information when a call is made from a mobile phone, but also works in conjunction with the control signal generator 1-6 to notify the mobile phone user during a call. Used to create timing for sending a call termination request. In addition, as mobile phone users move from place to place during a call, the distance between the mobile phone and the mobile phone's parent device increases, which reduces the electric field input to the mobile phone and degrades call quality. case (this detection is performed by the electric field level determination section 1-9)
The channel switching request (performed by) from the control signal generator 1-6
It has a function that sends a signal (or disconnection) to the mobile phone to search for the nearest new mobile phone master device.

Furthermore, a function of changing the mode of the control signal sent from the mobile phone master device will be explained. The control mode switching section in FIG. 4(b) shows a circuit that executes this switching, and changes from the necessary transmission mode to the constant transmission mode according to instructions from the call traffic monitor section of the first type exchange (see FIG. 5(a)). or vice versa. For example, SWI of 1-10
If the mode is set to the transmission mode when downlink control signals are required, it is possible to change to the constant transmission mode by switching SW to 2. As already explained in the definition, when installed in a residential area (inside a house), the "on-demand" transmission mode is the normal mode, whereas when installed in a business district, the always-on transmission mode is the normal mode. In addition, it is equivalent to incorporating a call traffic measurement unit in the mobile phone master device (Fig. 4 (b) 1-11) and operating it to operate the 5WI-10 shown in Fig. 4 [Ex.]. Sometimes it becomes a regular occurrence.

Next, the internal structure of the mobile phone will be explained using FIG. 4(a).

In the figure, the reception and transmission mixer outputs on the left end of the mobile phone master device are connected to an antenna, so that they can communicate wirelessly. That is, the received signal from the mobile phone master device passes through the reception mixer, the amplifier, and the amplified signal before entering the demodulator. A part of this output is used by the call bell section (2). This ■ is the nth call for a mobile phone wide area call as described later.
It is designed to ring when it receives a signal from a seed wireless base station (n=1.4 or 5). Further, the remainder of the demodulator output is sent to the handset/receiver section and the control section. The signal sent to the receiver is used to drive the handset.

Next, the operation of the control unit will be explained. First, when the power of the mobile phone is turned on, it is determined that the mobile phone is in an area where the normal residential mode mobile phone system is applicable, and location registration is performed in the following order. That is, the transmitting frequency synthesizer is controlled so that the location registration request signal can be sent using a predetermined control channel (#1 in Table 1). At the same time, the reception frequency synthesizer is controlled to capture the downlink control channel sent from the mobile phone master device using a predetermined control channel. If this fails, it is determined that the user is in an area where the business district mode mobile phone system is applicable, and a sweep is started to capture the downlink control channel. In many cases, this is successful and location registration is performed. If this also fails, it is determined that the mobile phone is in a dead zone, and the mobile phone makes the aforementioned wide area call and captures the control signal from the n-type wireless base station. However, even if this acquisition is successful or unsuccessful, the normal state of switching reception by temporally circulating the downlink control channel of the wide area paging type I base station and the downlink control channel of the mobile phone master device will continue. let Furthermore, if a calling signal included in a downlink control signal for wide area calling is received, a ringing tone is sounded. Then, it tries to capture the control signal from the mobile phone master device. If this is successful, a blue lamp (OK) is displayed on the call availability display section, and if it is unsuccessful, a red lamp (NO) indicating that calls cannot be made or received is displayed. The controller also instructs the transmit frequency synthesizer to enable generation of a defined call (or control) frequency, as well as controls the roam area call information storage unit and the personal ID (PID) storage unit.

If the area where the mobile phone is used is limited to a business district, the transmission and reception of control signals immediately after the power is turned on may be made to operate in the business district mode immediately instead of starting from the residential district mode as described above, or It is possible to configure the software to operate in residential area mode only when failure occurs.

Furthermore, it may be appropriate for the user to have the phone stand by in wide area call mode while not allowing location registration in cordless phone mode. These are also technically easy.

The control unit also has the following functions. If your mobile phone is in your home area and you try to make a call using your mobile phone, if the opposing mobile phone parent unit happens to be communicating with a mobile phone from another roaming area, the call will be made from that mobile phone. In order to indicate that a call cannot be made, this function also displays a red lamp (NO) on the call availability display section. In other words, even though the mobile phone requests the mobile phone master device to allocate a call channel using the uplink control channel, there is no response (because it is being used by another device), and as a result, calls are made at a certain timing. This is because it is determined that the application is not acceptable and is displayed on the display unit.

The continuous location registration request signal unit and timer shown in FIG. 4(a) are also used when the mobile phone sends out a location registration request signal at regular intervals.

In the residential area mode mobile phone system, downlink control signals from the mobile phone master device are not sent all the time, but only when necessary. Therefore, even if a moving mobile phone moves from the communicable zone of a mobile phone master device to the communicable zone of an adjacent mobile phone master device, the location registration will not be changed unless a call is made or a location registration request signal is sent. will not take place and therefore the incoming call will not be made in cordless telephone mode. In order to avoid this, the above-mentioned function is provided to enable the mobile phone to send out a location registration request signal continuously or at regular intervals (not necessarily at regular intervals and may be random).

Then switch the mode change switch (fourth switch) on the mobile phone.
(a) S w 3 ) is provided, and has a function of switching between the continuous location registration request mode and the necessary transmission mode.

Note that even if the mobile phone is set to continuous location registration request mode, if it enters the application area of the business district mode mobile phone system, it will automatically start continuously after capturing the downlink control signal sent from the parent device. Transmission is stopped, and the uplink control signal sent from the mobile phone is switched to transmission mode when necessary.

However, it is also possible to maintain the VIP-PID in the constant transmission mode.

The continuous location registration request mode is suitable for cases where the user wants to know the current location of a walking doctor, insurance agent, etc. in an office or the like, or when the user wants to reliably receive incoming calls while walking.

However, if the mobile phone master device can talk on two or more channels simultaneously, the ICH will be assigned to the dedicated CH of the mobile phone in the home area, so the above explanation is unnecessary.

In principle, the mobile phone can display and store the PID of the calling party that is communicating with it, but it can also display subscriber information such as the SID of the mobile phone master unit that is communicating as a wireless device. There are times when you want to know.

In this case, when you press the function button (for example, #) on the dial part, the SID of the mobile phone parent device during the call can be determined by the control part from the information stored in the roam area call information storage part, and the nearest information.
That is, the SID of the mobile phone parent device currently performing the call is displayed. Also, if you are not on a call and are simply registering your location with the mobile phone's master device and are on standby, you can simply press the function button (for example #) on the dial to display the opposing SID without the need to emit radio waves. It becomes possible. This can be used for directions other than communication using the mobile telephone system of the present invention, which will be described later, and is convenient because it can be used to display a lot number when you get lost.

Even if the phone number of the other party is not clearly known on your mobile phone, if you know part or all of the address of the other party, you can send the address of the other party by voice to the opposite Class 1 exchange. Then, the voice signal identification unit built into the first-class exchange equipment identifies it, and for confirmation, the prefecture ID, city ID, town ID, etc. described later are sent back as numbers, and the call can be displayed. It has a display section.

To send signals from a mobile phone, dial signals, voice signals, control signals, etc. are input to the modulator according to instructions from the control unit.
The signal is added to the transmission amplifier, and after amplification, passes through the MIX circuit to convert the frequency to a frequency specified by the control unit, and then is connected to the transmission antenna.

The external functions and configurations of the mobile phone master device, landline phone, and mobile phone have been described in detail above, and finally, as a summary, the basic functions that make these into the system of the present invention will be explained.

i) In the place where it is normally used (at your seat in your home or office, hereinafter referred to as the home area), it operates in the cordless telephone mode currently being commercialized by NTT.

1i) A plurality of fixed telephones having SID numbers are provided in pairs with the mobile telephones in i).

The connection to the telephone office line is similar to that of a regular telephone, but unlike a regular telephone, the fixed telephone of the present invention has various functions such as an incoming call transfer function and a function of displaying the current location of the mobile telephone.

iii) Each mobile phone is given a PID (self-identification number) that is different from other mobile devices or terminals in other systems, and when a call is made or a request is received from the mobile phone master device, the mobile phone automatically identifies itself. The PID signal is sent.

(Let P[) of the mobile phone be PID, and iv) When a call is made in a location other than the home area, the roam area 5I sent from the mobile phone parent device facing the other side and making the call.
Store D (terminal identification number) in the "Roam area call information memory section" of your mobile phone.

(2) When the mobile phone is turned on, it automatically transmits its own PID signal using the transmission control channel of the cordless phone mode in the home area.

This is called "location registration" in the home area or roam area. The operation flow in this case will be described later.

vi) If the mobile phone is in wide-area calling mode and receives a call, but there is no mobile phone master device nearby and the call cannot be answered, the calling party number is transferred to the own PID for a certain period of time.
It has the function of storing roaming area call information in the roaming area call information storage unit of the caller, and responding to the caller when the caller becomes available due to movement of location.

Next, the subscriber information storage unit installed in the first to fifth type exchanges, which is one of the features of the present invention, will be explained. FIG. 5(a) shows the stratified structure of the first to fifth type exchanges. In other words, Type 1 exchanges are mobile phones and fixed-line telephones, as stated in the definition of the term.

A subscriber information storage unit MEM is installed for managing general telephones and the like. A type 2 exchange has multiple
It is connected to the subscriber exchange through a transmission line as shown in the figure, and is also provided with a subscriber information storage unit MEM. From now on, MEMs will be installed in higher-level exchanges as shown in the diagram, and the subscriber information storage units installed at each level will communicate with each other for mobile phone location registration requests, billing information, etc. as described later. It has a distributed storage function, which is a feature of the present invention.

3.5.2 Constituent principle of the present invention and its rationale In this section, the method of arranging the subscriber information storage units MEM distributed in each hierarchy of exchanges will be compared with the centralized arrangement method of the prior art. The advantages thereof will be described, and the method for assigning personal identification information PID will be explained later.

First, the function of the subscriber information storage unit (MEM) will be explained.

'ii) When the exchange receives new subscriber information from the mobile phone due to a change of location, etc., it compares it with the previous information, rewrites or erases the stored information, and, if necessary, Transfers new subscriber information to the station.

iii) If subscriber information such as the following items ① and ② is stored in advance on a mobile phone, even if a location registration request signal is received from the mobile phone, the location registration request signal will not be registered based on the previously stored subscriber information. The mobile phone performs location registration, call control, etc.

■ Rank N standing up to the next level Location registration is not performed and therefore calls cannot be made or received.

In this case, if necessary, information indicating that the location registration of the mobile phone has been rejected is transferred to the lower or (and) upper exchange center.

■Limited reception of location registration In order to restrict calls to and from the mobile phone, location registration requests are accepted within a certain limited range.

Send this to the first type exchange subscriber information storage unit that controls the home area of the mobile phone via another exchange, etc.; 3.5.2-2 (Function of subscriber information storage section of mobile phone master device) i) Mobile phone master device It captures the downlink control signal transmitted from (SID,) and stores the PID of the mobile phone that requested location registration in its own PID signal storage unit, and also transmits the PID to the opposite fixed phone and KTCI. Notify that the mobile phone is currently registering its location with the SID.

ii) If the input power value falls below a certain level because the mobile phone that is in the middle of a call via its own mobile phone's parent device moves away due to walking, the method will shift to the mid-call channel switching operation described later, but the channel Even after the switching is completed, the PID is stored in the PID signal storage section within the own device for a certain period of time. This is to prepare for resetting the communication channel between the device itself and the mobile phone in the event that channel switching during a call fails.

iii) Also during parent-child communication, the parent/nucleus (mobile phone)
The start and end times of the call as well as the PID information are notified to the subscriber information storage section of the first type exchange.

Further, necessary information among the information stored in the self-10 storage section is transmitted in response to a request signal from the KTC-1.

From the above, the function of the subscriber information storage section has been clarified, and the location registration of the mobile phone, which plays a major role in the present invention, will be explained below. Before that, the radio channel control method used in the present invention will be explained in detail.

The control system in the wireless line of the mobile phone master device and mobile phone organization applied to the mobile phone system of the present invention usually has multiple control channels (although there are cases where there is only one channel in residential areas).
It has the ability to control incoming and outgoing calls on multiple communication channels. However, the control channel is used for location registration from the mobile phone and special signals (for example, call stop signals) to the mobile phone. However, the present invention can also be applied to a system that does not separate the control channel and the speech channel as described above. In that case, the same channel is first used for the control function for the operation of making and receiving calls, and then used as the speech channel. If the system has a plurality of wireless lines, it may be necessary to provide a function to periodically search these lines and identify unused wireless lines.

Now, how to arrange the control channel in cordless telephone mode, i.e., how to create a system in which many mobile phones can each make and receive calls on their own, which may cause interference if a large number of mobile phone master units are installed within the service area. First, we will explain an example of a system in a residential area, that is, a control method for a mobile phone in residential area mode.In this case, it is normal for each mobile phone master device to send control signals from the downlink control channel only when necessary. .

First, when the power of the mobile phone master device SID is turned on, it is necessary to notify nearby mobile phones PID, etc., so a predetermined control channel (for example, number 1) is turned on. This is used to send downlink control signals. This signal includes the SID, channel number, etc., and the same signal is repeatedly transmitted over and over again. At the same time, the signal receiving circuit of the upstream channel of the control channel (number 1) is operated to wait for a location registration signal from a nearby mobile phone.

In this case, a mobile phone master device is also installed nearby, and if the power is turned on at the same time, the control channels used are the same, so interference will occur, but the probability of this happening is extremely small.

The specific numerical values are as follows. The number of control channels is set to 1, and if there is a signal collision, that is, when adjacent mobile phone master devices receive location registration request signals at the same time, the signal will not be transmitted well to the other party due to interference, but the probability of this is set to 3.
%, control line exclusive time 10 seconds, busy hour concentration rate 1/1
0, and the number of repetition zones is 25 (that is, assuming that all radio waves in the surrounding 24 zones are interfered with), the number N of mobile phone master devices (for each zone) that can be accommodated in the system is given by the following equation.

Here, a (L O,03) represents the amount of calls that can be carried by Arseno.

In other words, it was shown that up to about four machines could be accommodated in a place where one machine would usually be sufficient. It can be seen that this value meets the necessary conditions for a mobile phone system in residential area mode when compared with the call traffic calculation example for Tokyo as described later. In actual use, it is considered that the mobile phone master device is used with the power always on, so the above value can be considered as a condition for new installation. Therefore, the exclusive time for the control channel was set to 10 seconds at the time of new installation, and if the power is still on, the exclusive time is technically less than 1 second for calls to and from the opposite mobile phone, etc. control objectives can be achieved.

Next, the number of mobile phones that can be accommodated is determined from the viewpoint of the control capability of the mobile phone master device operating in the residential area mode. As above, as a design condition, the control signal failure rate (due to interference) is 3%.
, the exclusive time of the control line is 0.5 seconds, the most urgent concentration rate is 1710, the number of calls, etc. is controlled 10 times/day, and the number of repetition zones is 25.The number n of mobile phones that can be accommodated in the parent device is given by the following formula. .

In other words, it was shown that about 9 vehicles could be accommodated. In the case of one-sided residential land mode, one mobile phone master device is installed in each house, and it is used by the entire family living in that house, but the number of families is considered to be less than 4 Å, and it is also used on outdoor roads etc. Even if we consider that there are four third-party users, the above figure exceeds this number, indicating that there is no problem with the system. However, mobile phones in continuous location registration request mode were excluded from the calculation. (Actually, even in residential areas, other master devices are installed in public places such as telephone poles, so the above conditions are further relaxed.) Furthermore, are there any problems with call traffic regarding mobile phone systems in residential area mode? It is necessary to consider whether or not. In this case, the design conditions are: call loss rate: 0.03%, number of channels per call: 509, number of calls: 10 times/day.

3 minutes/time, busy hour concentration rate 1/10, number of repetition zones 2
5, the number m of mobile phones that can be accommodated in the parent device is given by the following equation.

In other words, it is shown that approximately 34 cars can be accommodated, and the Tokyo 2
Comparing the example traffic calculations within the three wards, it can be seen that there is sufficient margin.

On the other hand, a description will be given of communication with a mobile phone existing in the vicinity (within an area where radio waves are transmitted well and communication is possible) of the mobile phone master device that is powered on as described above. There are two possible states of nearby mobile phones:

■ If the mobile phone has been in standby mode (power on) before the power was turned on ■ If the mobile phone has entered standby mode after the mobile phone has started operating (power on) I will explain the state in ■ first. .

In this case, the mobile phone PID+ is trying to capture (receive) which channel it is by cyclically switching between the downlink control channel of the mobile phone master device and the downlink control channel of the mobile phone wide area paging type i base station. In the former case, the length of the control signal from the parent device is longer than the switching interval, and the PID can always receive this control signal well. Further, in the case of a mobile phone in the continuous location registration request mode, the signal transmitted from the mobile phone is received by the mobile phone master device, so that a more reliable location registration operation is possible.

After PIDl receives the downlink control signal from ID1 and inspects the contents, it stores SID+ etc. in the storage section of the second device, and at the same time sends a location registration request signal to SID. The location registration is completed by following the process described later.After this, it is possible to send a control signal only when a call is made from the PID or an incoming call to the PID occurs, thereby achieving the respective purpose.

In the mobile phone system in the residential area mode described above, it has been found that one control channel is sufficient for the control signal traffic for outgoing and incoming calls. Table 1 is an example showing the number of various control channels including this.

However, the reason why two channels are assigned as control channels in residential area mode is to cope with cases where this system enters an expansion period and call traffic increases due to the introduction of new services, or when the system is divided. One channel would be sufficient. The mobile phone system in the residential area mode is superior to the mobile phone system in the business area mode in terms of effective use of frequencies and power saving in transmission power. However, this method can be used for mobile-based work, such as doctors making house calls or salespeople, and requires only phone calls (for people who want to receive services from the perspective of confirming their current location, initiative is required on the mobile phone side). Therefore, there is a method in which the mobile phone is set to continuous location registration request mode and the mobile phone sends a location registration signal at certain intervals.In other words, the continuous location registration request signal part shown in FIG. 4(a) Then, the timer is activated to operate the control unit at time intervals such as every 10 seconds, Table 1 Examples of Control Channels and Functions of Fixed Wireless Station Transmission in Mobile Telephone Systems, every 30 seconds, or every minute. This objective can be achieved by transmitting a location registration signal using a predetermined uplink control channel, for example, CHI.

Next, when mobile phone PID2 in the roam area enters the communication area with mobile phone master device SID (
In the case of ■), explain. If you turn on the power to the PID near the SID, the operation will be almost the same as that described when turning on the power to the PID, so I will omit it. PID2 normally uses the uplink control channel only when necessary, and STD also uses the downlink control channel only when necessary, so if this continues, PID2,
Although it is possible to make a call from (in this case, the location is registered first and then a call signal is sent), incoming calls can only be made in wide area call mode. To avoid this, as mentioned above, operate the mobile phone as a mobile phone in the continuous location registration request mode, and use the control CH number 1 to issue a location registration request signal at certain time intervals. The telephone master device inspects the contents of this signal, and if it is PIDz that is not stored in its own memory, it stores it and
It is necessary to send out location registration signals for S ID and +P ID2 for TC-1.

Note that even in residential areas, call traffic may be constantly high in a specific area or with respect to a specific mobile phone master device. For example, call traffic within a supermarket or private store in a residential area. In particular, when a mobile phone is used as a credit card terminal, the communication traffic becomes heavy.
As shown in 1-11, the mobile phone master device is equipped with a circuit that measures the amount of call traffic circulating within the device itself, and if the amount of traffic exceeds a certain level, switch SW 1-10 is installed.
2, and has a function of switching the control signal sent from the mobile phone parent device from sending it when necessary to always sending it. This makes it possible to cope with increased traffic. Note that when the amount of call traffic falls below a predetermined value, the control signal transmission mode can be switched from always to transmission when necessary, thereby making it possible to effectively utilize frequencies and save power.

Furthermore, we will explain how to transition the mobile phone system from residential area mode to business area mode over a wide area.

Even in residential areas where there is usually little call traffic and the traffic density is almost uniform across the entire service area, call traffic may increase abnormally in one area due to an unexpected incident, gathering, event, etc. . MON included in KTC-1 shown in Figure 5(a)
monitors the amount of call traffic in the area managed by its own exchange, and if this amount exceeds a certain value, changes the control signal transmission mode in the corresponding service area. In this case, the mode is shifted from the residential area mode to the business area mode. That is, the control signal sent from the mobile phone master device is switched from being sent when necessary to always being sent.

Therefore, a switching signal is sent to all mobile phone master devices in the corresponding area. The control mode switching unit shown in FIG. 4(b) has a function of switching from state 1 (residential area mode) to state 2 (business area mode) in response to a switching signal from KTC-1. This state change is transmitted to the control unit of the mobile phone master device, and the method of transmitting the downlink control signal is changed from when necessary to at any time.

At the time of this change, the control channel is also changed in order to prevent interference with downlink control signals from nearby mobile phone master devices (control channels sent from each mobile phone master device are ). As a result, the mobile phone system is used in the business district mode, which will be described in detail below, and it becomes possible to cope with an increase in call traffic.

Next, a wireless line control method used in the business district mode mobile phone system will be explained. Control C in this mode
The usage of H is different from the above-described residential area mode in that the downlink control channel from each mobile phone master device is constantly transmitting control signals.

Here, the term "constantly" includes a case where a control signal is sent for 1 second at regular intervals (although it may be random), for example, every 10 seconds. Providing a 9-second transmission pause time like in this example is effective in saving transmitter power and reducing interference, but the system effect is exactly the same as constant transmission, so it can be included in the former category. That's why. In this case, there are the following three methods for assigning a control channel to the mobile phone master device. However, the number of channels that can be transmitted and received by the mobile phone parent device is 1, but an example of a plurality of channels will be described later.

■ A mobile phone master device is equipped with a function that allows it to search downlink control channels transmitted from a large number of nearby master devices, and select a control channel that does not cause interference to others from its own device. let them use it.

■ A radio control device (RC) (see Figure 5 (d) or (see details)) is installed, and many mobile phone master devices (RC) under this are installed.
Specify the downlink control channel emitted from SID). However, although the RC has the function of managing control channels and switching the call path when a mobile phone moves during a call and changes the mobile phone parent device with which it communicates, Management such as channel designation is not allowed.

■ Similar to ■, an RC is installed, and the RC is also made to manage the communication channels, which was not done in ■.

First, I will explain from ■. The installation location of the mobile phone master device within the service area is defined as the center of a uniform regular hexagon as shown in Fig. ))do. In reality, houses are different in size, and the installation location of the parent device also varies depending on the house, so this is not the case, but if it is not uniform, the number of control channels can be increased to prevent interference, so even if we assume like this. This does not limit the effects of the present invention. Further, the numbers in the figure indicate each hexagonal zone. Now, first zone 1
It is assumed that the power of the mobile phone master devices installed in each of the cell phones 25 to 25 is in an off state, that is, no radio waves are emitted. Further, it is assumed that the number of control channels is 25. Assume that the mobile phone master device in zone 13 is powered on at the next time. Then, a control signal is sent from this parent device using a certain control channel (downlink), and the control channel number may be any number from 1 to 25. That is, in this case, prior to emitting radio waves, the control channel number 1 to 25 is swept and the receiver in the device is activated to investigate whether or not radio waves are being emitted. It is discovered that the control CH is not used anywhere in these zones. Therefore, it is recognized that interference will not occur no matter which CH is used, but it is assumed that the software in the device is activated and the control channel number used in zone 13 is set to Nα13 for convenience.

Next, assume that the mobile phone master device in zone 14 is powered on. Then, as explained above, the mobile phone master device installed in this zone will emit radio waves using a certain control channel, but prior to this, the receiver in the device is activated to transmit control channels 1 to 25. Sweep to find out which channel is emitting radio waves. As a result, it is recognized that CH13 is in use, so is there any other system? The function is given to use 1111CH. For convenience, it is assumed that the control channel number used in this zone 14 is Nα14.

Zone 1 below, 2.3. ---12.15.16.・
Assume that the mobile phone master devices installed at - and -24 degrees and 25 degrees are turned on one after another. Then, as explained above, before emitting radio waves from the mobile phone master equipment installed in each of these zones, the receiver inside the equipment is activated to sweep control channels 1 to 25 and determine which channel the radio waves are being emitted from. Investigate whether or not As a result, it is recognized that the control channels numbered the same as the own zone number are unused, and control signals are sent using the control channels having the same number as the own zone number.

Zones 1 to 25 used in the above explanation are a small part of the total service area as shown in FIG. 5(C), but zones 26 to 50 exist to the right of these.

For example, the control CH numbers used in these zones are Nn for zone 26, Nn for zone 1.27, and N for zone 2.28.
We will use the system 4iCH number indicated by the same number as α3 and the remaining number after subtracting 25 from the zone number. Then, the control CH number Nα1 is zone 1 and zone 26.
It will be used in However, there is a considerable physical distance between zone 1 and zone 26, and the control signals transmitted from the parent device are attenuated to the extent that they do not interfere with each other's control signals (by the way, in NTT's car phone It is composed of about 12 zones)
Therefore, no matter how wide the service area is, if 25 channels are provided as control channels, even if control signals are issued from each mobile phone master device in the entire service area, the system can operate without mutual interference. It will be guaranteed.

In the above assumption, the mutual relationships among the mobile phone master devices installed within the service area are uniform as shown in FIG. 5(i), but a case where they are non-uniform will now be described. In this case, it is possible to deal with this by increasing the number of control channels. That is, if the relative distance between the mobile phone master devices using the same control channel is smaller than that shown in FIG. 5(i), another control channel,
For example, Nα26 may be given. In reality, it is conceivable that an even larger number of preliminary control channels may be required.

Table 1 shows an example of the number of control channels and the number of speech channels used in the mobile telephone system according to the present invention. Among these, the control channels used in the above explanation are for the cordless telephone mode and provide 30 channels from 3rd to 32nd.

Note that in the above explanation, the control channel number used in each zone is the same as the own zone number, but this assumption is not necessarily necessary, and any channel number can be selected as long as it does not cause interference. I won't give you anything.

Further, even if there is no interference at a certain point in time, a control channel in use may be subject to interference due to radio wave propagation conditions, external radio waves, or the like. The mobile phone and mobile phone master device of the present invention have a function of checking for interference and, if interference is detected, switching to another channel. Therefore, for example, if the control channel being used in zone 14 is interfered with, an unused channel, for example No. 26, is selected from the other control channels and used. The same thing is true for communication channels; a monitoring circuit built into the receiving unit constantly monitors the transmission quality of a communication channel specified for a certain mobile phone, and if interference occurs, It has the ability to immediately switch to and add another call channel.

Next, the operation for location registration from a mobile phone will be explained. In FIG. 5(i), zone 1 is a mobile phone master device (S
It is assumed that IDυ is installed and a mobile phone PID whose home area is this zone is turned on. Then, the receiving frequency synthesizer in the mobile phone described in FIG. 4(a) starts operating and automatically starts sweeping the control channels Nα3 to Nα32. As a result, the downlink control signal flowing on control channel number 1 is captured. This downlink control signal includes the SID, control CH number, and the like. Mobile phone PID that received this
.

Then, a location registration request signal is sent using the uplink control CH corresponding to control channel number 1. This signal includes PID, channel number, etc. Upon receiving this signal, the parent device stores the PID and the signal in its own subscriber information storage section and reports to the first type exchange that there has been a location registration request from the PID. This signal has P I
D, +SI D.

It is included. Upon receiving this signal, KTC-1-1 memorizes that the location of P'ID is registered in SID in the location registration information storage section of its own subscriber information storage section, and at the same time registers the location for SID. Report that it has been completed. Upon receiving this report, the SID inspects the signal contents and uses a downlink control signal to notify that PID and destination location registration has been completed.

With the above operations, the location registration of PID to SID is completely completed. The above operation is illustrated in FIG. 11(a).

Next, we will explain how to make a call from a mobile phone whose location has been registered. When the mobile phone PID goes off the hook, it sends a call request signal to the opposing mobile phone master device using the uplink control channel corresponding to the control channel number being captured. This signal includes PID, signal,
After investigating the SID and PID of the mobile phone master device that received this, it notifies the mobile phone of the call channel number that is currently not in use in the vicinity and requests it to send a dial signal on this channel (depending on the system, the main device (Continuing to use the control channel is also possible.) The mobile phone parent device operates the synthesizer in its own device and constantly uses the communication channel that is not in use in the vicinity.
It has a function that makes it possible to memorize H. That is, the cordless mode call CH33~150.151~ in Table 1
Of the 200 unused channels, 51.151 is allocated, and 51 is allocated for calls only, and 151 is allocated for data communication. Therefore, upon receiving the downlink control signal specifying this CH, the mobile phone operates its synthesizer according to instructions from the control section, sets a channel to CHNα5 or 151, and sends out a dial signal.

The calling operation proceeds as described below (see Fig. 7).
a)).

Note that the designation of the call CH explained above is based on Nα5 in Table 1.
It was a dedicated channel for calls from 1 to 200. A case will be explained in which the call traffic becomes large and all of these call channels are in use. In this case, there is no channel that can be assigned as a communication channel, but there is a function to temporarily use a control channel as a communication CH. That is, P.I.
If there is a call from D and the situation is as described above, then control C
Please use the H3I number as a call channel.
tD.

Sends a command signal to. Upon receiving this command signal, the mobile telephone sets the control CH3I number as the call CH and sends out a dial signal, and the call operation as shown in FIG. 7(a) proceeds.

Note that the number N of mobile phones accommodated is determined from the control circuit processing capacity of the mobile phone system in the business district mode described above. The numerical values of the specifications used in the calculation are the same as those for the residential area mode mentioned above (however, the call traffic is 40 times/day)
Using , N in this case can be found using the following equation.

That is, it is possible to accommodate 56 units in one zone.

However, since a different control channel is used in adjacent zones, it is assumed that there is no need to consider the number of repeated zones.

Next, since the number of mobile phones that can be accommodated in terms of call traffic processing capacity can be considered to be the same as that determined previously, it is determined that it is possible to realize the system model described below.

In addition, regarding mobile phone systems in business district mode, we will explain a wireless line control method for mobile phones in places where extremely large numbers of people gather, such as Tokyo Station and Osaka Station.

In this case, even if the above-mentioned business district mode mobile phone system is used, the call traffic is large and calls cannot be made successfully. The solution is to use small zones. In the above explanation, the service zone of one mobile phone master device is set to have a radius of 25 m, but if the transmission power of each mobile phone and mobile phone master unit is reduced and the service area is set to a radius of 10 m, for example (25/10).
” = 6.25, which means that it is possible to process more than 6 times the call traffic.Technically, the transmission power of the parent device is kept to 1mW of the normal 1710, and the mobile phone is controlled by the parent device by a downlink control signal. It is only necessary to provide a transmission power control function that operates only in small zones that can be reduced to the same level as each (this is a known technique).

The second countermeasure is to ground multiple mobile phone master devices within the same service zone. As a result, the traffic processing capacity increases by n times if n units are installed. However, since n control and communication channels are required, this method cannot be said to be very good, but it can be said to be an economical method. Therefore, a more effective method is detailed below.

Now, we will explain the method (2) of installing a radio system control device RC (see FIG. 5(d)) and having it specify downlink control channels emitted from a large number of mobile phone master devices (RC) under its control. However, it is assumed that the RC only has the function of managing the control channel and switching the channel while the mobile phone is talking. Furthermore, since the RC function is not available in the residential area mode, it is applied to the mobile phone system in the business area mode.

In this case, the RC allocates control channels to be used by subordinate SIDs according to certain rules, or actually measures the value of interference in advance while transmitting control signals from many parent devices, and then Since it can be utilized during CH allocation, it is possible to improve the frequency usage efficiency compared to the case described in (2).

FIG. 5(j) shows this example, in which the number of repetition zones is 12. That is, the same frequency can be reused for every 12 zones. However, in this case as well, it is better to have a spare channel in place to prevent interference, and to avoid increased system traffic, two mobile phone master units should be installed in each small zone. It is also possible to operate it.

In this case, the number of control channels is 12CHX 2 =24CH plus a spare channel.

If this method is adopted, there is no need for a new design as a mobile phone master device (the master device used in residential area mode can be used as is.However, two control channels can be used in one zone). Therefore, as shown in Figure 5, one control channel may be provided within one zone, and this channel may be used to control the use of multiple communication channels. It is possible. As mentioned above, the number N of mobile phone master devices that can be accommodated in one zone from the viewpoint of control signal processing capacity is 4.45, so 4 to 5 are possible.

In this case as well, it is of course possible to divert the control channel transceiver to communication during traffic congestion (the control signal uses a signal outside the communication signal band).

This method (2) is thought to be frequently used during the expansion phase of the mobile phone system. That is, method (2) has a simple system and is suitable for use in areas with low call traffic, such as residential areas, while method (2) is likely to be used in areas with high traffic, such as downtown areas and event venues. However, even in residential areas, if call traffic increases, ■ will be used.

Next, location registration and calling operations from the mobile phone are performed in the same manner as described above. Although Figure 5 ((2) shows the case where the RC is installed separately from the KTC-I, it may be installed in the same location as the KTC-I. Alternatively, the RC may be installed in the same location as the KTC-I. One location may be installed in the same village, and a plurality of these may be accommodated in KTC-1.

The control signal from the control CH controller to the communication channel controller in the RC in FIG. 5(9) means that instructions such as communication CH switching due to movement of the mobile phone or CH switching due to interference interference are possible.

Finally, I will explain ■. FIG. 5) shows an embodiment of this method. This method shows a method in which the RC specifies not only the control CH but also the call CH. This method is effective in areas where call traffic is extremely high.

The line control of the mobile phone system in the residential area mode and business area mode has been described above. The system operation of the mobile phone system near the boundary between these two modes of mobile phone system will be described below.

Suppose that a mobile phone owner is walking with PID+ turned on near the boundary line between two modes with PID on top. In such a state, the mobile phone normally tries to grasp the downlink control channel, so it is considered to belong to the business district mode, but suppose that the mobile phone moves away from the business district and enters a residential area as a result of the transition. Then, the S/N of the control channel that has been known so far deteriorates, and when this value falls below a certain value, the S/N of the control channel that has been known so far is canceled and the search for another downlink control channel is started. However, in the above state, since there is no mobile phone master device that is constantly transmitting data as a downlink control channel, the mobile phone fails to grasp the signal. The mobile phone that has transitioned to such a state is determined to have moved to residential area mode after a certain time point,
Thereafter, a location registration request signal is sent using the upstream channel of the control channel (channel kl in Table 1) assigned to the mobile phone system in the residential area mode.

When the nearest mobile phone master device in residential area mode receives this signal, it performs the same operation as the location registration of the mobile phone system in residential area mode as described above, and the location registration is completed. Thereafter, the mobile phone will operate in the residential mode. Further, if the mobile phone is initially set to the continuous location registration request mode, it returns to the initial state and resumes continuously transmitting the location registration request signal.

Conversely, a case will be explained in which a mobile phone in a residential area mode moves to a mobile phone system applicable area in a business area mode. In this case, if the mobile phone is in the continuous location registration request mode, the mobile phone is continuously transmitting its own P and ID through the uplink control channel of channel Nα1 in Table 1,
Due to the movement of the mobile phone, it is no longer possible to obtain a response using the downlink channel of the control channel Nα1 from the opposite mobile phone master device in the residential area mode. In this state, after a certain timing, the mobile phone automatically stops continuous transmission for location registration, enters business district mode, and starts searching to acquire the downlink control channel being used. That is, the control channels Nα3 to Nα32 in the cordless telephone mode shown in Table 1 are searched cyclically. As a result, acquisition is possible and the channel goes into a standby state.

Further, even if the mobile phone successfully captures the downlink control channel in the cordless telephone mode, if the mobile phone continues to move, the reception power of the downlink control channel will decrease, and the reception quality will also drop below a certain transmission quality standard. Then, this acquisition is canceled again and the search for acquisition of another downlink control channel is resumed. The following operations are exactly the same as those described above.

The above is a case where the mobile phone is in the location registration continuous request mode, but a description will be given of a mobile phone in a general residential area mode.

In this case, even if you move to a service area that is in business district mode, the mobile phone will still be connected to channel Nα1 in Table 1.
continues to receive the downlink control signal.

Therefore, it is impossible to receive a call in the cordless telephone mode, and it is necessary to rely on the wide area calling mode. The mobile phone is equipped with a function to automatically start acquiring the downlink control channel used in the business district mode after a certain period of time when there is no response from the nearest mobile phone master device.

Therefore, the subsequent operations will follow exactly the same transition as described above.

The above explanation has mainly been about the line control functions of the mobile phone, the mobile phone master device, and the radio system control device RC. Further, the line control function of the first type exchange located above these has already been partially explained, but will be explained here.

KTC-1 is equipped with a call traffic monitor MON as shown in Figure 5(a), and it is possible to control PID or SID via SID or SID to RC, and the following control signals It is possible to transmit and control the RC, SID, or PID managed by the local exchange.

That is, i) a transmission mode in which transmitters on both sides of the wireless line used by the mobile phone master unit and the mobile phone are always transmitting; ii) a mode in which one transmitter is always transmitting over the wireless line used by the mobile phone master unit and the mobile phone; It is possible to change one of the three modes to another mode: a mode in which the other transmits data only when necessary; iii) a mode in which both transmitters transmit data only when necessary on the wireless line used by the mobile phone master device and the mobile phone. It is.

The above explanation was about a method for controlling the incoming and outgoing calls for ordinary mobile phone owners. A method of controlling calls to and from a specific mobile phone owner will be described below. The specific person referred to here refers to a high-ranking person in a government office or a large-scale business, and may also be referred to as an important person (VIP). Of course, from the perspective of Type 1 carriers that provide mobile phone services, the identification information of mobile phones can be said to be subscribers who collect higher basic charges and call charges than regular subscribers. This control method is used to change the control method for a mobile phone whose PID is different from a normal PID, and to provide a high-priced service commensurate with the charge. Such a mobile phone will be hereinafter referred to as V I P-PID, and VI
The control method for D-PID will be explained in detail. The types of services are as follows.

■ Setting up communication routes for making and receiving calls is given priority compared to general subscribers.

■The control method for setting up a call path is more reliable than that of general subscribers.

Regarding ■, if the call traffic volume exceeds a predetermined amount and is recognized as abnormal congestion, VIP-PID will be able to make and receive calls even if normal subscribers (mobile phone users) cannot make and receive calls. Service is possible. That is, the traffic monitor M of KTC-1-1 shown in FIG. 5(a)
All or part of KTC-■ is managed by OH (for example, pronation).

If there is abnormally high call traffic within the same ward, etc., the following measures will be taken.

1) When an incoming call signal comes from a higher-level exchange such as KTC-I1 that manages KTC-1 to a PID whose location is registered in the comparison area within the service area managed by the own exchange, the PTD is Incoming calls are checked and accepted only by VIP-PID, and others are rejected.

If the call is rejected, a voice service such as ``The area where the location of the mobile phone you are calling from is currently very busy. Please wait for a while before making the call'' will be provided. However, if the traffic congestion is not that high, calls (long-distance calls) from class I exchanges (i = 2.3.4.5) or higher will not be accepted for PIDs other than VIP. It is also possible to accept this. In other words, to KTC-I which is managing the area where there is a conflict
When there is an incoming call to a PID that belongs to the Boar area, the called party's PID, the calling party's PID, and the calling location (the first class exchange that manages that area) are sent to the MEM of the KTC-r.
As a result of testing, it was found that if the caller recognized that the call was received via a class I exchange, it was possible to make a connection even if both the caller and receiver were regular subscribers.

ii) Calls made from an area managed by the local exchange that has not been switched to a Type 2 Roam area or higher, or calls made to an area managed by KTC-I. Even if the call is to an area that has not been switched, normal call origination operations are performed. However, calls originating from the comparison area or incoming calls to the comparison area will be rejected by anyone other than VIP-PID. If the request is refused, the same voice service as in i) will be provided. However, if the traffic congestion is not very large, the type i exchange (i=2
．． 3.4.5) It is also possible to allow calls (long distance calls) to levels above 3.4.5). In other words, when a call is made to KTC-1, which manages an area where congestion is off, from a PID located within the area, the called party's PID and the called party's PID are checked, and the call path is established. If it is recognized that the call must be performed via the type I exchange, it is possible to perform the connection operation even if both the calling and receiving parties are normal subscribers.

The above measures are taken at the time of traffic congestion at the level of the first type exchange, but call restrictions during traffic congestion at the type i exchange (i=2.3..-, 5) are also the same as those of the first type exchange. It is possible as well. That is, in this case, as shown in FIG. 5(a), KT
C-n, KTC-DI, - etc. Niha Traffic Monitor M
ON is installed and traffic congestion is permitted in all or part of the area managed by the KTC-n exchange, calls incoming to or originating from that area will be rejected or rejected by anyone other than VIP-PID. Limited acceptance will be accepted.

Furthermore, the wide area paging signal sent from the mobile phone wide area call type J wireless base station that receives instructions from the i type exchange can also be limited to VIPs during the call.

The above has explained the distinction between important subscribers and general subscribers in terms of call restrictions, but there are differences between specific VIP-PID and normal PI.
For example, the service class shown in FIG.
There is also a method of giving only to TD. Also VI P-P
It is also possible to adopt a method such as establishing ranks during IDO, allowing calls to be made and received at the time of comparison until the end as the rank increases.

The above measures were taken to prevent calls from coming and going, but it is also possible to restrict location registration itself in the comparison area. That is, KTC-1 accepts location registration only when a VIP-PID location registration request is received from the area it manages, and rejects registration for normal PIDs.

The advantages of refusing registration are as follows.

1) If there is a fixed telephone in the home area of a PID, and the current location of the PID is constantly updated or displayed, calls to the PID in the area where this is not updated are suppressed during traffic comparison.

1i)) In the traffic congestion area, it is assumed that the traffic on the control channel between the mobile phone and the mobile phone parent device is also congested, and this can be suppressed beforehand.

As a concrete method for carrying out ii), the SID that receives the command from KTC-I displays a blank line only for the VIP on the blank line display of the downlink control channel as shown in FIG. 5 (e), which will be described later. It is conceivable to allow a VIP to make a call for a location registration request and to make it impossible for a general PID to understand the downlink control channel.

In this case, it is also possible to cause the display section of the mobile phone to display that registration is not possible for PIDs in which location registration is not possible.

Next, another method will be explained in detail in the above-mentioned control method (2).

It is a device registration consisting of VIP-PID.

This is a method of making signals such as incoming and outgoing calls different from normal PID. That is, as an example, as shown in FIG. 5(1), redundancy is provided in the signal structure transmitted and received from the VIP-PID. For example, if a call is made from a VIP-PID and a normal PID within the communicable area of the same mobile phone master device, the mobile phone master device will be in the state shown in Figure 5<1), and the normal The signal from PID is VI
Although it is superimposed with the signal from P-PID and cannot be received well, ■IP-PID is retransmitting the same signal, so no radio wave interference occurs during this time period, and therefore ■TP-P
Priority calling of ID is possible. Similarly, redundancy is provided in the structure of the incoming call signal to the VIP-PID, and measures are taken to reduce the effects of interference. Furthermore, it is possible to improve the digital signal transmission quality of the VIP-PTD by introducing higher sensitivity, diaperity technology, an error correction circuit, etc. to its circuit configuration.

Next, I will explain about (■). We have already explained the method of arranging control channels and the method of sending control signals related to calls to and from a normal PID, but the following points are different regarding the method of using control channels and the method of sending control signals for calls to and from VIP-PID. There is.

In other words, regarding the usage of the uplink control channel from VIP-PID, in the mobile phone system in residential area mode, and in location registration continuous request mode, the interval between signal transmissions is made smaller than in normal PID to ensure that location registration is executed reliably and accurately. Let it happen. Next, regarding how to use the downlink control channel in the mobile phone system in cordless mode, in the mobile phone system in business district mode, the downlink control signal from the mobile phone parent device whose location has been registered is transmitted to the VIP-channel as shown in FIG. During this period, VIP
- Accept only calling signals from PID.

Note that this slot is only used during the period when the VIP-PID is registered with the mobile phone master device, and is not set when the VIP-PID is absent.

Next, for incoming calls to V I P-P I D, VIP
-The incoming call is VIP-P at KTC-1 which manages PID.
When it recognizes that the message is for the ID, it causes the mobile phone master device managed by its own exchange to perform the following operations.

i) VIP-P for mobile phone system in residential area mode
Using the same control channel, all the mobile phone master devices in the same city or region whose IDs are registered are used to send out paging signals at the same time or sequentially at different times. By using this method, the VIP-PI
In D, the own VIP-PID is called using the transmission diversity from the mobile phone master device located at each location, and the call rate is dramatically improved compared to when one device transmits.

ii) Regarding mobile phone system in business district mode, ■
First, call from the SID whose location is registered.

The paging signal configuration in this case is also designed to have a redundant configuration similar to that shown in FIG. 5 (β) to increase the signal reception rate. ■If there is no response signal from the VIP-PID, the KTC-1 stops sending downlink control signals of all SIDs around the SID (including stopping radio wave emission), and at the same time sends a call signal from the SID to the VIP-PID. send out. This will cause the call to be called again without interference. (2) If there is no response even in (2), all the SIDs surrounding the SID send a paging signal to the VIP-PID using the control channels in use and wait for a response. (2) If there is no response even in (2), a call is made from all SIDs surrounding the SID using the same control channel as the SID.

If there is still no response from the VIP-PID even after executing the above steps, it is time to shift to the wide area call mode.

Mutual change of the business district mode or residential district mode, which is the two modes of the line control method, in response to call traffic fluctuations within the self-management area of the above-mentioned type 1 exchange or a type 1 exchange including the wireless system control device. The state change is as shown in Fig. 11 etc.).

Similarly, regarding the line control method for the mobile phone master device (SID) to deal with fluctuations in call morale, there are two methods: one is determined visually, and the other is based on instructions from KTC-1. As shown, two modes, the residential area mode and the business area mode, will be mutually changed.

In addition, regarding mobile phones, except for VIP-PID, continuous location registration requests (continuous transmission of control signals) are normally possible only in residential area mode, and these judgments are made in the SID control signal transmission mode, that is, residential area mode. or business district mode. This state change is also shown in FIG. 11(i).

Now, the method of calling VIP- and PID in the wide area calling mode will be explained. In this case, the measures already explained in the cordless mode have been taken and the VIP-P
The ID call reception rate can be improved.

i) Provide redundancy in the ring signal configuration.

ii) increasing the number of signaling;

iii) Aim for transmission diversity effect.

iv) Take measures to remove interference.

In order to be able to make and receive calls from other telephones at all times while carrying a mobile phone, which is one of the main devices of the present invention, while traveling around the country, it is necessary to know where the mobile phone is currently located.
Technically, it is necessary to constantly monitor and store which mobile phone master device it is possible to communicate with. The mobile phone master device and the 1st to 5th class exchange subscriber information storage unit (
MEM).

Location registration is classified into the following six cases depending on the distance from the home area of the mobile phone.

However, in the following explanation, for the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that the mobile phone system is in business district mode and that control signals are constantly flowing from the mobile phone master device using the downlink control CH. In residential area mode, this is not flowing, so in order to send a location registration signal from the mobile phone to the parent device, it is necessary to set the mobile phone to continuous location registration request mode, but the operation after that is the same as constant transmission.

i) Location registration in home area When the mobile phone is powered on in the home area, this registration operation is started. FIG. 11(a) shows the operation flow in this case. This will be explained below using FIG. 11(a). In the figure, when the power switch of the mobile phone PID is turned on, the downlink control channel of the mobile phone master device SID in the home area is captured, and the PID
, transmits a location registration request signal using an uplink control CH. The mobile phone master device S10 receives this and stores it in its own memory, and also sends it to the P to the first type exchange KTC-1-1.
ID, and sends out a location registration request signal. Upon receiving this, the subscriber information storage section of KTC-I-1 informs the location registration storage section, which is a part of this configuration, that the location of PID is registered in the mobile phone master device SID in the home area. Remember. When this is completed, a location registration completion signal addressed to the mobile phone parent device is sent. The SID that receives this signal collates the PID in the signal, and sends a destination location registration completion signal to the mobile phone @PID. The PID that receives this inspects the signal content and stores the SID.

The above operation flow completes location registration in the home area.

ii) Location Registration in Type 1 Roam Area Next, the operational flow of location registration in the Type 1 Roam Area will be explained using FIG. 11 Φ). In the same figure, the mobile phone PID
When the power is turned on, it sends a location registration request signal to the opposing mobile phone master device 5IDz in the same way as described above. When 5IDffi received this and inspected the PID I signal, it recognized that it was not the mobile phone 11 (PID, ) facing 5ID2, but a third party's mobile phone in the roaming area, and stored the PID, While memorizing KTC-
Sends a location registration request signal addressed to I-1. Upon receiving this, the MEM of KTC-1-1 registers the location from StD+ to 5.
Change it to ID2 and store it as well as SID.

Sends a destination completion signal. The following operations proceed in exactly the same manner as in FIG. 11(a), and the location registration at PID 5IIIh is completed.

Next, the position registration operation when walking and moving within a type 1 roam area while keeping the power switch on the mobile phone PID will be explained using FIG. 11(C).

In the figure, the mobile phone PID.

is captured as the downlink control CH from 5ID2, but as the user walks, the input electric field value decreases and eventually falls below a certain reference value. Then, the PID starts searching for another control channel acquisition based on the information from the noise level detector (see FIG. 4(a)).

As a result, it was found that the input electric field value of the downlink control CH transmitted from the mobile phone master device SID satisfies a certain standard, and the 5ID is stored in its own memory as a location registration.
Change it to 2 and rewrite it to 5IDt. It also sends a location registration request signal to 5ID3. The mobile phone master device SID that received this signal stores the PID3 and KT
A location registration request signal is sent to C-1-1. The following operation is similar to that shown in FIG. 11(b).

ii) Location registration in Type 2 ROHM area Figure 11 (
The operation flow will be explained using d). In the figure, the operation from the power-on of the mobile phone PID to the reception of the signal to KTC-1-2 is completely the same as that shown in FIG. Upon inspecting the PID, it was recognized that it was not a mobile phone managed by KTC-1-2, and the PID was stored in the local location registration memory and sent to KTC-II-1, which is managing the PID. Sends a location registration request signal.When this is received,
In the rc-ni MEM, the signal contents are stored in the inspection's upper eye position registration storage unit, and the KTC-i, which manages the PID,
For 1-1, PID is 5 managed by KTC-1-2.
Request to remember that the location is registered in ID4. KTC-I-1, which received this signal, inspects the signal content and stores it in its own location registration storage unit, and KTC-II
-1, reports that the location registration has been completed. Upon receiving this signal, KTC-II-1 verifies its own location registration with the stored contents of its memory, and then sends a location registration completion signal addressed to KTC-1-2. The following operations follow the same process as shown in FIG. 11(C), and the location registration of PID in SID is completed.

iv) Location registration in Type 3 ROHM area Figure 11 (
The operation flow will be explained using e). In the location registration operation flow in the same figure, from PID and power switch on to K
The operation up to signal transmission to TC-n-3 is shown in Figure 11 (6).
and all (are the same.

Now, the location registration request signal sent to KTC-II-3 is examined and stored in the MEM of KTC-11-3. Also, as a result of the inspection, it is found that the PID is not a mobile phone controlled by the KTC-II-3, so it sends a location registration request signal to the upper exchange KTC-I [[-1]. . Upon receiving this signal, KTC-Ill-1 recognizes that the PID is managed by its own exchange, and stores it in its own MEM. It also sends a location registration request signal to KTC-11-1. The following operation follows exactly the same process as in Figure 11(d), and the PID and SID
, location registration is completed.

■) Location registration in Type 4 roam area Figure 11 (f
) shows the operation flow in this case. The same figure and Figure 11 (e
) is different only in that a type 4 exchange is involved; the other operations are exactly the same as in FIG. 11(e).

vi) Location registration in Type 5 roam area Figure 11 (
Hinoki shows the operation flow in this case. The same figure and Figure 11 (f
) is different only in the presence of a type 5 exchange; the other operations are entirely the same as in FIG. 11(f).

In addition, in the above explanation, KTC in FIG. 11(e)

and KTC-I [I-4, K in Figure 11(g)
TC-n-5, KTC-II[-5, and KTC-I
It is not necessarily necessary to store the location registration information of the PID that requests location registration in the MEM installed in each V-5, and even if it is omitted, there will be no hindrance to the effects of the present invention. It's not something you give. However, by storing location registration information in these exchanges, which appears to be redundant, PrD.

When a user is in a roaming area and there is an incoming call from the same type of roaming area, by simply searching the MEM of the exchange that manages the roaming area, a communication path between the two parties can be established without having to go to the higher-level exchange. This will result in benefits such as: Therefore, considering the current situation where the economic efficiency of MEM is increasing, the MEM of all exchanges involved in location registration is
It is considered reasonable to store the registration information in M.

Finally, regarding the operational flow when canceling (changing) location registration, as an example, the operational flow when a PTD, which has registered location in a Type 5 Roam area, changes location registration to home area is as follows. explain.

vi) Operation when the PID that was registered in the 15fil ROHM area changes its location registration to the home area.As a practical matter, this kind of case occurs when a person living in Tokyo carries a mobile phone and goes to Hokkaido. This applies to cases where a person travels to Japan, uses a mobile phone at various places during the trip, turns off the power on the way back, takes it back to Tokyo, and then turns on the power switch of the mobile phone at home the next day.

In this case, the location will be registered in the home area of Tokyo again, and the operation flow will be as follows. This is as if the flow is completely opposite to the flow of location registration operation in the type 5 roam area shown in FIG. 11(8). That is,
SID+, KTCn 5 (n=1+ 2131415
)l KTCn-1<n=1, M of 2.3.4.5)
The position registration of all PIDs in EM is changed (erase) to SID7. In other words, S
In the storage unit of ID, PID+ is the PID of the 5th type roam area, and the location registration is changed to the home area, and the PID and SID for KTC-1-1 are changed.
, to inform you that you are requesting location registration. KTC-
At T-1, search the MEM, change the own MEM, and
Requests TC-II-1 to change (delete) location registration. Upon receiving this signal, KTC-n-1 erases the location registration information related to PID+ of its own MEM, and
-II[-1 is requested to change (delete) the location registration. Hereinafter, the SID mentioned above.

PID from M'EM of exchanges other than KTC-1-1.

All location registration information will be deleted.

The above explanation has clarified the location registration operation of the mobile phone, and as described above, in the mobile phone system according to the present invention, the location registration of the mobile phone is always performed. Furthermore, the location accuracy of this location registration is extremely accurate at 25 meters in the cordless telephone mode. Therefore, if you want to monitor the current location of insurance agents, salesmen, etc. using electronic bulletin boards in business offices, etc., you can give these people mobile phones and call them at the nearest Type 1 exchange (KTC-■).
This will become possible if you receive more location registration information. As described above, the present invention has a wide range of applications other than communications.

In order for the mobile phone type location registration according to the present invention to be effective, it is a prerequisite that the mobile phone is in a standby state (power on). Considering the current situation where IC circuits and high-frequency circuits are becoming increasingly low in power consumption, it is desirable to keep the power of the mobile phone turned on once the user leaves the home area. If these conditions are satisfied for all mobile phones in the ROHM area, new service methods such as those described below will become possible.

■Communication in emergencies such as tsunamis and typhoons will be possible for each individual.

■ Even if the location of an important person (VIP) is not registered for some reason, it is possible to call the person in wide area calling mode (using satellite).

■It becomes possible to communicate with salesmen, doctors, etc. when they arrive at a designated municipality. Conversely, when the user leaves a certain area, information on location registration changes can be automatically transmitted to people in the home area, such as an office or business office.

■A scheduled service, that is, a service that broadcasts market information registration at a fixed time every day, will become possible for people traveling across the country.

■Emergency communications from mobile phones can be carried out effectively.

Below, these usage methods will be explained in detail with specific examples.

■Emergency communication from the mobile phone owner If the mobile phone owner feels unwell at home or on the road, and is judged to be suddenly ill, use the pre-installed emergency call button on the mobile phone or the emergency call button. For example, if you decide to dial 119 for communication,
When the emergency medical center receives this, the current location information of the mobile phone is transferred from KTC-1, and an ambulance can be sent directly to the scene. Currently, elderly people are given something called an "emergency pendant." In the event of an emergency, when you pull the pendant at home, SO3 radio waves are emitted from the radio installed inside the pendant. A system in which the ambulance is dispatched to a center is currently in use, but the present invention is equivalent to a highly functional system that expands the service area to a nationwide scale. Similarly, if there is a fire in your area, you can make an emergency call by simply dialing 119 and saying "Fire" (again, it is not necessary to say it; a dial signal can also be used).
Unlike the current system, there is no need to provide detailed explanations of place names, lot numbers, and the state of nearby buildings when the user's mind is in turmoil. At the firefighting center, the registered location of the caller can be displayed on the electronic display board, allowing the caller to be immediately dispatched to the fire scene.

In addition, by dialing 110 from this mobile phone to report from the scene of a crime or traffic accident, the police car command center can clearly recognize the current location of the mobile phone, and can carry out effective operations. Become.

■Detecting the current location of elderly people with dementia As Japan's population ages and the elderly occupy a larger portion of the population, the increase in the number of elderly people with dementia is becoming a social problem. In particular, groggy old people who wander around roads and parks day and night, unsupervised by their family members, become a nuisance to the public, are more likely to be involved in traffic accidents, and place a heavy mental burden on the family members who walk around looking for them. be. The mobile phone system of the present invention also provides great benefits in this case.

In other words, if an elderly person with dementia is given a mobile phone (powered on), even if he or she goes outdoors alone and walks around town, it will be
By arranging the current location of the mobile phone to TC-1, discovery becomes very easy. Similarly, when you go to a large amusement park, give your child a mobile phone (this will make it easier to find him if he gets lost).

The subscriber information storage section of the N-type exchange used in the explanation of this chapter above has sufficient storage capacity and always stores new information, but if the storage capacity becomes saturated or a failure occurs, the PID Location registration may not be performed. In this case, the adverse effects on the effects of the present invention can be eliminated by having another exchange store the location information in the following priority order. If the MEM of the n-th type exchange that manages the Uchiroam area becomes faulty, the n+1-th type exchange takes over the storage. If the higher-level exchange is also unable to store the information due to a failure or the like, then the higher-level exchange will attempt to store the data in the MEM of the fifth-class exchange. If the MEM of the 5th type exchange cannot be stored, location registration is executed to the mobile phone master device or fixed telephone (SID) in the home area.

In such a state, if an incoming call is received, it will be sent to the SI through the transmission line.
After adjusting the current location to D, the call is made from the exchange that manages the area where the mobile phone is actually located, so the control signal is detoured considerably, but the call is executed without any problem.

Now, with the above explanation, the nth type exchange (n=1.2°3.4
It has become clear how the subscriber information storage section installed in 5) and 5) plays an important role. Therefore, below, we will calculate the traffic that uses this storage unit and the required memory amount, and explain the advantages of the distributed method over the conventional centralized method.

3, 5.2-5 (Location registration traffic and required memory) The mobile phone according to the present invention can be carried anywhere in the country and calls can be made and received from there. Registration of the current location as the phone moves needs to be performed at all times to ensure the availability of calls at all times.Also, even if this is performed, it is much more efficient and economical than conventional techniques, and is less expensive for the user. It will be explained in detail below that it is a highly rational method that follows human habits.

First, to give an overview of the explanation, mobile phone users in Japan (this can be expressed as Japanese citizens in general) spend most of their time at their personal residences or workplaces. The amount of time an individual spends going out is relatively small, and the longer the distance an individual leaves from their usual place, the more the frequency of going out and the amount of exclusive time they spend will drastically decrease in inverse proportion to this (more on this later). (according to literature).

In other words, for example, in the case of a businessman working in an office, etc., he spends most of his time at his desk (desk), and even when he is away from his desk, he still spends most of his time at his desk.
Even if you only stop by a conference room within your business or another workplace, and you bring your own mobile phone with you at that time, your location will be registered to PB.
The process is completed by simply changing the location registration information in the subscriber information storage section of X or the first type exchange. Furthermore, the transmission and reception of signals necessary for this is completed between the mobile phone, the parent device, and the PBX (or the first type exchange), and is not affected by anything else.

Next, assuming that a businessman goes out of the office for business, in most cases he can return to the company after about half a day, and in most cases it is only a day trip at most. In terms of the type of exchange according to the present invention, it is often completed within the same city (type 2 exchange control area) or within the same prefecture (type 3 exchange control area), and business trips outside the prefecture (type 3 exchange control area) are common. Furthermore, the possibility of a long-distance business trip from Tokyo to Hokkaido (class 5 exchange area) is extremely small.

The above situation is not limited to businessmen.

For example, when looking at the total time spent by housewives in daily life, the proportion of going out is small, and most of the time when a housewife does go out, she can do some shopping or other errands in the neighborhood, and other errands can also be done within the same city or within the same city. Most cases are completed within the same prefecture, and trips to other prefectures are extremely rare.

Furthermore, the frequency of going out at home (-household) for leisure, etc. is extremely low, as will be described later.

From the above circumstances, it is understood that the frequency of use of the subscriber information storage section (location registration storage section) of the upper exchange, and therefore the frequency of signal transmission required for these registrations, is extremely low. Therefore, considering the national character of our country (this also applies to the people of other countries around the world), we believe that the distributed registration method of the present invention when carrying a mobile phone is the most consistent with user habits. It is judged as a thing.

This point can be said to represent a feature of the present invention that is completely different from the prior art where subscriber information is collected and managed at one location nationwide.

Now, I will explain the daily behavior of the general public in detail with reference to literature (National Travel Dynamics Survey Report, compiled by the Prime Minister's Office, October 1988). That is, based on this report, the traffic of mobile phone owners registered in the storage units of the first to fifth type exchanges of the present invention will be calculated below.

a) Types of travel, travel experience rate, and number of trips in 1930
In the one year period from September 1955 to August 1956, 66.
0% are traveling overnight. (Table 2) Looking at the experience rate of overnight trips by type of trip, 45.9% were purely sightseeing, 7.1% were business trips, 13.8% were homecoming trips, and 9.1% were trips for housework/private purposes. % etc. When pure tourism and combined tourism are combined, 53.3% travel overnight.

Table 2 Experience rate and average number of trips by type of trip Looking at the number of overnight trips, the average was 1,683 trips, and by type of trip, pure tourism accounted for 0.821 trips, accounting for 48.8% of the total. occupy Business trips accounted for 0.180 trips, homecoming trips accounted for 0.235 trips, etc., and pure tourism and combined tourism totaled 1,030 trips, or 61.2% of the total.

Next, the average number of travel days per person per year is 4.92.
It is day.

b) Regarding flows between districts (blocks) Looking at destinations by block from the travel departure point, as shown in Table 3, the proportion of intra-regional travel is high in all blocks.

C) Regarding overseas travel, the rate of experience of overseas travel per person for the year from September 1980 to August 1981 was 2.0%. Additionally, the average number of overseas travel days per person per year is 8.6 days.

d) Regarding day trip tourism and recreation 1981.
As a result of a survey on day-trip tourism and recreation in winter and summer during the two months of February and July and August, the experience rate for day-trip tourism and recreation per household was 32.4% in winter. The experience rate for “summer” is 43.
It is 6%. "Summer" exceeds "winter" by 10 points. The average number of day trips per person is 0.659 in winter and 0.95 in summer.
6 times.

Furthermore, when looking at the destinations for one-day tourism and recreation, divided into those within and outside the prefecture in which the respondents reside, we find that ``winter'', ``winter'',
Over 60% of respondents lived in their prefectures for both summer and summer months.

(Calculation of location registration traffic and memory capacity for each exchange) a) Type 5 exchange When Japanese citizens wish to use their mobile phones even when traveling abroad, they must register their location in the exchange memory.

The amount of traffic is 0.03 trips/year per person, and from the average number of days (8.6 days), 1 trip per person per year.
The annual rate of location registration to type 5 exchanges is 0.03 times x 8.6 days = 0.248 times/person-year, that is, if traffic is uniform, 80% of the entire population (120 million people) Even if 100 million people (100 million people) owned mobile phones, the memory capacity required for a type 5 exchange would be enough for 70,000 people.

The memory capacity of the 5th class exchange requires position registration as the narrow cylinder moves between 4th class roam areas. This applies, for example, when a user residing in Tokyo travels to Hokkaido, and these statistics can be obtained from Table 2 using the following formula.

That is, one mobile phone owner uses memory for 3.87 days a year due to out-of-area travel.

In addition, the number of trips per year is 1.2 times, and it is thought that there are few trips that cover multiple areas in one trip, so 0.66
Memory will be used for X4.92=3.2 days.

Therefore, the registration traffic is 1.2 times x 2 =2.4 times (registration and deletion).

From the above, the amount of location registration traffic and memory capacity required for a Type 5 exchange due to foreign and out-of-area travel can amount to about the same amount per year per portable phone.

Traffic amount (0,03+ 1.2) X 2 =2.
46 memory capacity 0.248X3.873=4.116
Note that in the above calculations, the traffic and memory amount using the mobile phone wide area paging type 5 wireless base station of the present invention are difficult to calculate and are estimated to be small in reality, so they are ignored.

h) Type 4 Exchange It is necessary to add intra-block flows such as within the Tokyo block or Tohoku block and flows due to day trips in Table 3.

For the former, 0.4903 times per mobile phone talk a year x O, 66 x 4.92 days = 1.592 days For the latter, the calculation result is 1.456 times per year.

In addition to these, the type 4 exchange operates in the same way each time it is registered to the type 5 exchange, so if you add this, the memory capacity will be 1.592 + 1. '456+4.116
= 7.164 (Sun), i.e. accessed 6.35 times per year, 7
．． Memory will be used for 16 days.

C) It is difficult to accurately estimate the amount of location registration traffic and memory amount related to the third type exchange to the first type exchange, such as a third type exchange, because they are greatly influenced by the usage habits of mobile phone users.

However, in terms of memory capacity, it is necessary to design a type 3 exchange for approximately 20 to 30 days a year, a type 2 exchange for approximately 50 to 100 days, and a type 1 exchange for 365 days a year. The basis for the above calculation is based on the above-mentioned document (
National Travel Dynamics Survey Report, compiled by the Prime Minister's Office, October 1981)
This is the measurement result in 1982, as stated in
Some adjustments may be necessary in the future due to changes in people's lifestyles. However, we believe that there will be no major changes that fundamentally overturn the basis of the present invention.

The approximate calculations of the traffic and required memory amount using the subscriber information storage unit of the present invention have been made above. We will roughly estimate the amount of traffic and memory that will be required if we adopt this method.

■ Traffic As explained in i) to 1ii), all the location registration 1 billing information, etc. associated with the movement of a mobile phone must be transmitted to a storage unit located at one location across the country, so reach a certain amount. In particular, billing information is transmitted after the end of the call (otherwise, memory would be required and the effect of centralized placement would not be effective), resulting in congestion of call traffic. This will occur during the busiest time, and the line capacity will need to be increased by this amount. On the other hand, with the present invention, billing information does not need to be sent immediately after a call, but can be sent to KTC-1 in one day, one week, or one month at a time, and it is possible to select a time slot with less call traffic at night, etc. The benefits are great.

■Amount of memory Considering the Japanese association, if we compare the installation method of the distributed subscriber information storage section of the present invention with the method of installing it centrally at one place nationwide like the conventional technology, the amount of memory will be smaller in the case of centralized installation. It is clear that the total number will decrease. A quantitative consideration will be given below. In order to achieve service performance equivalent to that of the present invention even if the storage unit is centrally installed in one location nationwide, it is necessary to install the subscriber information storage unit at the telephone office corresponding to the first type exchange (for example, Therefore, what is the difference between the amount of memory required for the second to fifth type exchanges of the present invention and the amount of memory required in the case of centralized arrangement? Then, since the memory amount of the 5th to 4th type exchanges is extremely small, the memory amount of the 2nd to 3rd type exchanges is compared with the memory amount of the centralized arrangement, and the distributed method is centralized M.

The total memory capacity of Type 2 and Type 3 exchanges in the country is each M z 1M 3. Actual M 2 , M
Although the value of 3 depends on the design philosophy, that is, the margin technology for the most urgent situation, the above value is estimated to be 2 to 3.

However, the price of hardware used in storage devices has been decreasing in recent years, and the disadvantages of this method are not so great, but rather the superiority in terms of traffic volume is enormous.

3, 5.3 (About PTD (Personal Identification Information))
Next, a method of assigning PID (Personal Identification Information) according to the present invention will be explained.

The information included in the PID is given to enable the following identification.

■ A specific individual can be identified from another individual (that is, it is impossible to have the same PID even within the same family). ■ Type 1 roam area, Type 2 roam area.

-1----・The type 5 roam area can be identified (Actually, this is the most important feature of the PID assignment method of the present invention.) ■ The location of the home area of the individual (mobile phone) who owns it In other words, the accuracy must be such that the address (residence) of the person is clear (however, clear accuracy here does not mean that the user can immediately identify the PAD by looking at it; The switch is stored in the subscriber information storage section of the
If you have accumulated a comparison table of place names and PIDs for seed loam areas, and want to obtain the address information of the person from the PID,
(This means that the service is easily available), and if you want to register multiple home areas, prioritize them; , Centralized stations, terminal stations, and even wards, towns (street addresses), etc. can be identified. ■ For reasons of ■, prefectures, cities (wards), and wards.

It must be possible to identify even the town (street address), ■ It must be possible to identify by country in anticipation of the future, ■ It must be possible to identify by service class, ■ It must be possible to prevent theft and use by a third party without the owner's consent. (i) It is possible to identify the following classes as service classes; i) It is possible to limit the area where calls can be made or received; (iu) Limiting the number of hours during the day when calls can be made or received; (iv) Availability of additional services such as conference calls ■) Whether or not there is a landline phone compatible with mobile phones in the home area vi) (vi) Possibility of superimposition with other mobile communication systems; viii) Possibility of non-telephone (non-voice) services; 1x) PID assignment methods that have specific rules. As a first step in explaining the fact that PIDs can be called all at once and the PID configuration applied to the present invention, the number of digits of the PID will be explained.

In the case of Japan, the population is approximately 120 million, so it is necessary to identify this number. In other words, if we adopt a national uniform number system, xx-xxx-xxxx
It can be seen that 9 digits (x=0.1.2.-9) is sufficient. However, since it is necessary to satisfy the conditions (1) to (2) described above for PID identification, nine digits is insufficient. Therefore, the following numbers of digits are assigned to the following various roam areas.

Type 5 roaming area, 3 digits for each country ××× (country ID) Type 4 roaming area, 2 digits for each prefecture XXX (prefecture ID) Type 3 roaming area, ie device (in the case of Tokyo) County 3 digits XXX (City ID) 3 digits XXX (Town ID) in Type 2 roaming area, i.e. ward, town, or equivalent place name (some cities with a population of 50,000 or less are included) 4 digits xxxx (subscriber ID) are required for Type 1 ROHM area, i.e. street address, housing complex, apartment, 13 digits in total, but in addition to this, 7 digits are required for service class, VIP identification, and PIN number, etc. 20 digits, the number of bits is 4 bits x 20 = 80 bits. However, country-specific identification will not be necessary for the time being. Also, in principle, the caller does not need to dial the service class, VIP identification, password, etc. at the time of making a call. The PID assignment method explained above is illustrated in FIG. 6.

In reality, it is necessary to provide users with a PID with as few digits as possible in order to improve serviceability, so the number of digits at the time of introduction will be reduced to about the same as NTT's national long distance dial. However, for detailed explanation of the present invention, the sixth
Use diagrams as the basis.

Now, the PID imparting method shown in FIG. 6 has a great influence on the operation of the present invention. This point will be explained.

Owners of mobile telephones according to the present invention can make calls from anywhere in the country, and can also receive calls from anywhere in the country. The PID assignment method of the present invention is effective when a call is received. That is, assume that Mr. A, whose home area is Hoya City, Tokyo, is currently traveling around the country carrying a mobile phone.

On the other hand, Mr. A's friend 8 lives in Kumamoto, a dairy area, and wants to make a call to Mr. A from a regular telephone. The flow of incoming call signals when Mr. A is in the 1st to 5th type roam areas will be explained below.

■ In the case of a Type 1 Roam area, Mr. 8 dials Mr. A's PID signal (PIN and service class are omitted in Figure 6). In this case, Mr. A's PID
It is necessary to dial all of the prefecture ID, city ID, town ID, and subscriber ID. If Mr. 8's telephone is managed under the same type N exchange as Mr. A, and if n = 1, dial only the subscriber ID n =
2 〃 Town ID + subscriber ID dial n = 3 〃
Dial of city [) 10 subscriber IDs n = 4 Prefecture ID 10 city ID + town ID + subscriber 1 [dial is sufficient. Further, even if n=1 and the town ID or city ID is dialed, the exchange makes the determination, so the desired call receiving operation can be performed without causing an erroneous connection or connection failure. Now, 8
The first class exchange that manages Mr. 8's phone decodes the PID and recognizes that it is a mobile phone managed by KTC-I in Hoya City, Tokyo, and transfers the call signal to Mr. 8's phone. The information is sequentially sent to the higher-level exchanges, and finally reaches the subscriber information storage section of the fifth type exchange.

At this point, the subscriber information storage unit is searched, but since Mr. A's location has not been registered in the 5th type roaming area, the hierarchy has been lowered to the 4th type exchange that manages Mr. A's mobile phone.
When the incoming call signal is transferred to KTC-IV-1), the subscriber information storage unit is also searched in the type 4 exchange, but since Mr. A's type 4 roam area location has not been registered here, Mr. The incoming call signal is transferred to the type exchange (KT-1 [1-1)].

In this way, the subscriber information storage unit is searched.

It turns out that Mr. A's roaming area location is not registered up to the first type exchange (KTC-1-1), so in the end, it is the same as when receiving a normal telephone call.
The incoming call signal is forwarded to 1), and as a result of checking the MEM, it is determined that the user is not in the home area, and the roam area SID,
It turns out that the location is registered in 5ID2, and an incoming call signal from Mr. A addressed to 5ID2 is transmitted. 5ID2 searches the PID storage section and recognizes that Mr. A's location is registered in the own mobile phone master device 5ID2, so it sends out the PID and destination call signal. Here, if Mr. A hangs off, a conversation with Mr. 8 will be started.

(2) Type 2 Roam Area In this case, the operation from Mr. 8's dial signal transmission to the 2nd type exchange (KTC-n-1) that manages Mr. A's mobile phone is the same as (2).

Now, when the incoming call signal addressed to Mr. A is transmitted to KTC-n-1, the second type exchange searches the MEM section and finds that Mr. A's location has been registered and is managing the home area. K
It turns out that he is not in TC-1-1 but in KTC-I-2. As a result, KTC-11-1 transmits the incoming call signal to KTC-11-1.
Send to C-1-2. When KTC-1-2 searches the MEM and recognizes that the PID is being registered in the SID managed by its own exchange, it transfers the incoming call signal to the SID.

Send to. The following operations are the same as ■.

■ Third-class roam area In this case, the operation from Mr. 8's dial signal transmission to the third-class exchange (KTC-■-1) that manages Mr. A's mobile phone is the same as in ■.

Now, when the incoming call signal addressed to Mr. A is transmitted to KTC-m-1, the third-class exchange searches the MEM section and finds that Mr. A's location has been registered and that it is managing the home area. When it becomes clear that the user is in KTC-11-2 rather than KTC-II-1, KTC-m-1 transmits the incoming call signal to KTC-U.
Send to -2. KTC-n-2 searches the MEM and searches for the subordinate exchange KTC-1-2 that is managed by the local exchange.
When it recognizes that PIDl is being registered in KTC-1-2, it sends an incoming call signal to KTC-1-2.

Upon receiving this, KTC-1-2 searches for MEM and 5
When I realized that Mr. A's location was registered in ID3,
Sends an incoming call signal to SID'S.

The following operations are the same as ■.

■ Type 4 Roam Area In this case, the operation from Mr. 8's dial signal transmission to the Type 4 exchange (KTC-■-1) that manages Mr. A's mobile phone is the same as in ■.

Now, when the incoming call signal addressed to Mr. A is transmitted to KTC-IV-1, the type 4 exchange searches the MEM section and finds that Mr. A's location has been registered and is managing his home area. When it becomes clear that KTC-m-2 is present instead of KTC-m-1, KTC-■-i transmits the incoming call signal to KTC-II [
Send to -2. KTC-I [I-2 searches the MEM and searches for the subordinate exchange KTC-1 managed by the local exchange.
When it recognizes that PID 1-3 is being registered, it sends an incoming call signal to KTC-11-3. The following operation is ■
This is the same as performing the same operation from the next higher level exchange.

■ Class 5 Roam Area In this case, the operations from Mr. 8's dial signal transmission to the Class 5 exchange (KTC-■) that manages Mr. A's mobile phone are the same as in ■.

Now, when the incoming call signal addressed to Mr. A is transmitted to KTC-V, the 5th type exchange searches the MEM section and finds that Mr. A's location has been registered and that the KTC-V, which is managing the home area,

When it recognizes that PID 3 is being registered, it sends an incoming call signal to KTC-I[[-3. The following operation is the same as performing the same operation as ① from the next higher level exchange.

Other benefits when implementing the PID assignment method for mobile phone systems according to the present invention will be explained.

■ Implementation of group calls When administrative authorities wish to send administrative information to people within the same prefecture, same city, or on the same route, as shown in Figure 6, IDs containing the necessary people ( For example, after the town ID)
- All you have to do is perform a simultaneous call. Alternatively, it is possible to further subdivide and call only PIDs assigned according to specific rules.

■ As explained for each route guidance service, PID corresponds to place name.
Just by knowing the ID, it is possible to determine the approximate place name.

■ Substituting the postal code for prefecture ID, city ID, etc.; PID in the mobile phone system according to the present invention is prefecture ID;
D. Since the city ID, town ID, and subscriber ID are classified and given, even if the caller does not know whether the caller's mobile phone number is the postal code of the address, town ID, or subscriber ID, the caller can make a call. It is possible. In this case, the first-class exchange that received the call uses its own postal code and area ID comparison table, and if it does not remember whether it is 602, town ID (for example, 123), subscriber number (for example, 1234) or L, it uses its own postal code and area ID comparison table. From your mobile phone, for example #0-602-123-1
You can talk to the other party by dialing 234. In this case, the first-class exchange that received the call uses its own postal code and area ID comparison table to determine that 602 is Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, and uses the Kyoto Prefecture ID (for example, 555) and city ID.
(for example, 45).

Furthermore, in the mobile telephone system according to the present invention, it is not necessary to remember the telephone number of the other party. In other words, if you know the address and name of the other party (which does not necessarily have to be accurate), the KTC-1 directory assistance AT (artificial intelligence) will give you a more accurate number as a result of inference.

For example, "Kyotoshi Chikara Migyoku Shimotachiuri Oomya Agartana Chikaracho 202 Bunchinose Hajime"
If you dial by voice, "Sonokataha xxx-xx-"
xxx〜××××death.

The answer is ``TsuwawokiboushimasukaJ'', so if you want to make a call, you can dial #1, for example, and if you don't want to, dial *2 to achieve your desired purpose.

This is because estimation is easily performed using the result AI, which is separated from the prefecture TD, city ID, town ID, and subscriber ID.

3, 5.4 (Reason and examples of how it is possible to make calls in all areas even with weak mobile phone transmission power in urban areas) According to the long-term outlook (edited by the Radio Technology Council, published by the Radio Promotion Agency, July 1980), it is predicted that the importance of mobile communications will increase even more in the future, and the demand for its quantitative expansion and qualitative improvement will increase. However, since mobile communications services would not be possible without the use of radio waves, it is stated that it is necessary to continue to secure the necessary radio waves as much as possible to meet the demand for mobile communications.

It is necessary to take measures to increase the capacity for mobile communications subscribers, such as integrating various systems, developing technology for effective use of radio waves, and developing new frequencies for mobile communications.

0 Mobile objects that essentially move around (people 1 trains, ships, aircraft, etc.)
Communication with ■ To improve convenience, communication may be performed using radio waves and making the wired portion cordless.

Estimating the demand around the year 2000 for major services that are expected to have many needs in the future and require a relatively wide frequency band, the demand will be as follows.

The present invention relates to a mobile phone among the mobile communications described above, and this invention means a system that includes all of the above-mentioned items (1) to (2). FIGS. 5(b) and 5(C) show the national mobile phone network configuration according to the present invention.

3.5.5 C Configuration of a mobile phone system within the 23 wards of Tokyo as an embodiment of the present invention] A case in which the present invention is applied to an urban area will be described in detail. FIG. 5(b) shows the system configuration of a mobile phone system in which the present invention is implemented within the 23 wards of Tokyo. In order, first, the year 2000 (A.D.) is the time when the present invention was introduced in earnest.
Explaining the structure and operation of the present invention in 1987),
After that, the structure and operation at the time of partial introduction of the present invention up to the year 2000 will be explained.

The former represents the state after the establishment of the ultimate mobile phone system according to the present invention, while the latter, on the contrary, will be gradually introduced in a state of coexistence with various mobile communication systems currently in use, such as cordless phones, car phones, and pagers. Therefore, in order to achieve the purpose of the present invention, it is necessary to share these other methods. Therefore, the configuration of the present invention is slightly different from that of the former ultimate form, and the hardware and software that make up the system are also slightly different. However, the effects of the present invention are fully exhibited even at the above-mentioned stage of partial introduction.

3, 5.6 (Configuration of the mobile phone system according to the present invention when the nationwide network is completed) Construction of the mobile phone system according to the present invention will begin in the future, and
Assuming that it will be almost completed around 2000, the system configuration will be as shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b). That is, in FIG. 5(a), the first type exchange KTC-1-
1 is an exchange in which a mobile phone 1 (PID, ) is accommodated. KTC-1-1 has many other mobile phones (2
, 3), mobile phone master devices (1, 2, 3), and landline telephones (1, 2, 3), as well as a large number of general telephones (not shown in the figure). (Circles 1 to 3 indicate areas where communication is possible from one parent device.)
The mobile phone master device 4 in the figure has the same electrical characteristics as the master device in the house 1.2.3, but it is installed on an outdoor utility pole or a lighting pole in a park, etc. , K.T.C.
-■-1 is connected by a transmission line. 4 is used when a mobile phone owner uses it on the road or in an open space such as a park, and is installed in various places, so the mobile phone owner can make and receive calls from any location. 5 at the bottom right of Fig. 5(a) represents a large-scale building, and the circle indicated by a broken line represents a service area that can be communicated from one mobile phone master device, and many are installed in the building. This makes it possible to make and receive calls using a mobile phone from any location. These mobile phones, related devices, etc. are KTC-1-1 or KTC
-It is housed in I-2. KTC-1-1 or K
MEM of TC-1-2 indicates a subscriber information storage unit. KTC-1-1 and KTC-1-2 or other type 1 exchanges (local telephone offices) not shown are connected to the upper type 2 exchange (KTC-I[-1) as shown in the figure. has been done. In addition, the 2nd type exchange connects with the higher level 3rd type exchange (KTC-111-1), the 3rd type exchange connects with the higher level 4th type exchange (KTC-IV-1), and the 4th type exchange
The type switch is connected to the highest level type 5 switch (KTC-V) as shown in the diagram, and is also configured to allow the use of satellites exclusively for calling mobile phones, allowing mobile phone calls to reach every corner of Japan. A net is being built. Further, the MEM attached to each level exchange represents a subscriber information storage unit.

For example, in order to make and receive calls from any area within the 23 wards of Tokyo, the mobile phone according to the present invention can be used as a mobile phone master device.
Approximately 10,000 pieces are required, which is a fully achievable value as will be explained in detail later. Therefore, it can be said that by around the year 2000, mobile phone owners will be able to make calls anytime, from anywhere, and to anywhere in urban areas throughout Japan. In rural and mountainous areas, the situation is almost the same in areas with human habitation.

The above situation assumes that the mobile phone owner is inside a building or walking on the road. In the following, the call making/receiving operations while on board a car, ship, train, or airplane will be explained. In addition, we will explain the network configuration and system used when the mobile phone owner is in a place with poor radio wave propagation characteristics, such as an underground passage or an underground parking lot.

This case will be explained using box 5). In the figure, the meanings of symbols such as KTC-1, MEM, etc. are the same as in FIG. 5(a), so they will be omitted, and the parts different from those in FIG. 5(a) will be explained.

First, assume that a mobile phone owner gets into a car with the mobile phone still in operation (power on).

In this case, mobile phone owners will still need to make and receive calls in car phone mode, which will be described later, even in the year 2000, but if they accidentally or intentionally do not switch to car phone mode, the following is the operation. Explain. In this case, control signals are constantly being transmitted from the mobile phone master device in the business district mode (there is no such concern with the mobile phone system in the residential district mode). Therefore, the downlink control channel emitted from the nearest mobile phone main unit on the utility pole on the road side can be sufficiently performed by the mobile phone even in the car. However, once the car starts driving, the relative distance between the mobile phone on the roadside and the mobile phone rapidly increases, and eventually reception becomes impossible. However, at this time, another mobile phone parent device is near the car, and the downlink control CH from this parent device should exhibit a received input electric field value sufficient to be captured by the mobile phone. Therefore,
An attempt is made to store the SID included in the downlink control channel from the new device, the CH number that is available as a call channel, etc. in the roam area call information storage section of the mobile phone, but the moving speed of the car is fast. Therefore, while the above process was not completed, the car moved to a location close to another mobile phone master device, and communication with the mobile phone master device that had already captured the downlink control channel became impossible due to a drop in the electric field. This will result in Specifically, if the speed of a car is 36 km/h, the speed is 10 m/s, and on the other hand, assuming that mobile phone master devices are installed every 25 meters on the road side, a new mobile phone master device will be installed every 2.5 seconds. This means that the mobile phone must capture the emitted downlink control CH. (Difficulties increase as the vehicle speed increases.) In such a situation, even if a call is successfully set up between a parent device and the mobile phone, a call will be sent every 2.5 seconds after the call is started. This is not preferable since it becomes necessary to switch communication channels, which increases the number of ineffective parts of the system's operation, and also increases various types of noise from the viewpoint of the communication quality of the communication channels. Therefore, the mobile phone of the present invention notifies the control unit that electric field fluctuations (noise level fluctuations) of a certain period or more are occurring due to the operation of the noise level detector shown in FIG. 4(a). The control unit that received the signal did not receive the radio waves emitted from the mobile phone master device, and the fifth
The oscillation frequency of the reception frequency synthesizer is controlled so as to capture the downlink control CH emitted from the mobile phone wide area call type 4 radio base station (KRC-IV) shown in FIG. 3(b). In addition, the KTC-1000 also allows the mobile phone master device to call its own mobile phone in wideband calling mode (Type 4).
Request to inform 1. Upon receiving this, KTC-I determines that the mobile phone is in a car, and KTC-I

(See FIG. 5(b)), the mobile phone PrD uses the downlink control channel from KRC-IV.

request to call. In reality, this request signal is KT
C-I-) KTC-11→KTC-m→KTC-IV→
It is transmitted via the MTC and the exchanges at each level.

KRC-TV has enough transmission power to cover a circle with a radius of 3 to 5 Ia11 like NTT's pager service, so the mobile phone can operate on KRC-IV without sudden changes in the input electric field. It becomes possible to receive the downlink control CH well.

If there is an incoming call in this state, the PID of the mobile phone is called from the KRC-IV, so that the call bell shown in FIG. 4(a) can ring. A mobile phone user who hears this ringing can respond by using some functions of the car phone, as will be described later.

The above explanation uses an example of a regular passenger car that can accommodate a small number of people, but in a car that has a large number of passengers, such as a shared bus or a sightseeing bus, many users may each carry a mobile phone. Therefore, even if the mobile phone cannot be used in the car phone mode, it is possible to receive a call using the same operation in the calling mode as described above.

Similarly, when you board a ship, aircraft, train, etc. and there are many people on board, your mobile phone will be in ship phone mode, and at this time too, your mobile phone will be able to make wide-area calls using the Class 4 wireless base station KRC-IV. It becomes possible to receive calls using radio waves.

It goes without saying that calls from these mobile units can be made using a superimposition technique as described later.

The above explanation was for a mobile phone system in business district mode, but if it is a mobile phone system in residential area mode, downlink control signals are not constantly sent from the mobile phone device, and the troubles described above do not occur. .

That is, since the mobile phone is switching between the cordless telephone mode and the wide area call mode to receive the call, in this case, if there is an incoming call while receiving the wide area call mode (type 4), the call will be made.

Furthermore, when the mobile phone owner is in a situation where it is difficult to receive radio waves from the mobile phone's parent device, such as in an underground parking lot, the mobile phone will use the signal from the noise level detector shown in Figure 4(a) to make a mobile phone wide area call. Since radio waves emitted from the base station can be received, calls can be received in the same way as described above. This case will also be explained in detail later.

Next, a PBX that is installed on the same company premises or in a large building and can operate in the same way as a Type 1 exchange.
Alternatively, a wireless system control device will be explained.

The mobile phone system of the present invention allows calls to be made and received from any party at any location, and it is also possible to continue talking while walking; this mechanism will also be explained. Fifth
Figure (d) shows an example of a configuration when the mobile phone system of the present invention is applied within a premises. In the figure, mobile phone 1 (PID,
) are distributed throughout the premises.
, IB, and IC, even if the user moves from place to place while walking along the path near the IB and IC, the conversation can be continued.

In the figure, a radio system control device RC is installed, and is connected to each mobile phone master device through a transmission path.

Further, as shown in the figure, the RC is connected to a PBX (exchange) corresponding to each call path, and the PBX also accommodates an ordinary fixed telephone. Furthermore, it is assumed that the PBX and the first type exchange are connected through a subscriber line.

Now, assume that a mobile phone makes a call to a general telephone (T,) under the first type exchange shown in FIG. 5(d).

The operations related to making a call will be omitted as they will be explained separately, and it will be assumed that the call is in progress. And mobile phone master device IA
Assume that a person approaches IB from near O while walking as shown in the same figure. In this state, the distance between IA and PID becomes large, and when it becomes 2511 or more, deterioration of call quality occurs. This state is monitored by the S/N monitoring unit in the radio system control device RC (see Figure 5(e)), and the S/N monitoring unit in the radio system controller RC (see Figure 5(e))
When N (signal-to-noise ratio) falls below a certain value, a request is made to the call control unit to switch the call path from IA-PID to IB-PID. FIG. 5(e) shows the configuration of the wireless system control device, and the above request is in the call control state (
The status of PID and SID during a call with CPU
After searching and investigating the SID storage unit and confirming the call status and confirming that the IB is not in communication with another mobile phone, the other party of the call of the mobile phone 1 is switched from the IA to the IB. This is because the CPU switches switch SW3 (
This can be achieved by turning off SWt (in the figure, the black triangle means that IA and T are connected) and turning on SWt (changing the white triangle to a black triangle in the figure).

When the above operations are completed, the user of the mobile phone 1 can continue to talk to T while walking.

Similarly to the above, when PID gets closer to IC from IB, the communication path is changed from PIDIIB to PIDI-1.
It becomes possible to change to c and continue the call.

The above explanation is based on the case where the RC is equipped with a call path switching function, and this is a system configuration suitable for large companies with premises dispersed in various places, but or PB in a relatively small campus.
It is more economical to incorporate it inside X.

Mobile phones used in general homes are not housed in such a PBX or RC, but are housed directly in a first-class exchange. In this case, the function of the wireless system control device explained above is incorporated into the Type 1 exchange, and the mobile phone user can freely continue talking while walking using the same call path switching function as described above. It is possible.

Furthermore, another embodiment will be described as a connection interface with an existing national telephone network, for example, the NTT telephone network, as a configuration of the mobile telephone system of the present invention. Figure 5) shows this example. As shown in the figure, the mobile phone network and NT according to the present invention
Although it has an interface with the T telephone network at a higher exchange level, it is unique in that the line below KTC-It is completely separate. This is the figure 5 (C) already explained.
Technically speaking, this increases independence compared to the sharing of exchanges at each layer in the nodes of NTT's telephone network. In this case, KTC-I can be used not only for mobile phones but also for ordinary telephones and pagers, as well as for KTC-■ or KTC-I.
It is a matter of course that IV can accommodate the car telephone system.

The system configuration example shown in Figure 5) is a configuration suitable for a mobile phone network operated by a corporate entity other than NTT.

In addition, in Figure 5 (f), the contact line with the NTT national telephone network is 3.
Although the same transmission lines are listed, there is no technical problem even if any one or two of them are used.

In addition, the above system configuration (Fig. 5 (a), (b), (
In C) and ge)), the hierarchy of the exchange was explained as 5, but this is not necessarily because 5 is optimal. This is because when considering Japan's current nationwide mobile phone network, population, land area, shape, etc. are comprehensively considered. However, even with this assumption, the optimal number of layers will likely change in the future due to population mobility, changes in the environment of national social life, or changes in the economic efficiency of the hardware and software that make up this system.

The number of floors when the present invention is applied in a foreign country varies greatly depending on the population and national character, as mentioned above.

3, 5.7 (Configuration of the mobile phone system according to the present invention at the time of introduction) Figure 5 (C) shows the system configuration of the mobile phone system in which the present invention was implemented within the 23 wards of Tokyo. This is the time when the system is introduced, not when the nationwide network has been completed.

In the figure, each home or office is equipped with a cordless telephone base W (fixed wireless device) that has almost the same functions as NTT's current cordless telephones, and can be accessed with any mobile phone. . Furthermore, each utility pole on the aisle side is equipped with a wireless transmitter/receiver that has almost the same functionality as a cordless telephone main unit. These devices, like current cordless telephones, are housed in exchanges at telephone offices or in PBXs at offices, and are treated in the same way as regular landline telephones. However, in this text, the above-mentioned exchange or PBX is referred to as a type 1 exchange, and this exchange also has a memory device (for storing, changing, and erasing the current location information of the mobile phone).
A subscriber information storage unit) is located there.

Hereinafter, it will be explained that the mobile phone of the present invention can make and receive calls in almost all the 23 wards of Tokyo using only the parent device of these cordless phones.

Recently, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications announced that the demand for cordless telephones in Japan in the 2000s was 10 million.

This is reasonable in light of the numbers from ■ to ■ in the above-mentioned document [Long-term Prospects for Radio Wave Usage]. Based on this figure, the demand within Tokyo's 23 wards is estimated to be 1/10 of 1 million. On the other hand, the total area of the 23 wards is 581 square kilometers, so a square with sides of 25 meters is 1000 m x 1000 m 25 x 25
rd, that is, one cordless telephone exists within a square of 25 meters on each side. However, in the above calculation, it was assumed that the traffic was uniform, but this is considered to be a reasonable assumption since the number of demands is extremely large.

As a result of the above calculation, assuming that the traffic is uniform, one cordless telephone main unit will be installed within a 25 m square. On the other hand, since the service area of cordless telephones is considered to be within a radius of 25 to 50 meters from the parent device,
In the 2000s, it was discovered that it was possible to make and receive calls in all 23 wards of Tokyo if a mobile phone could access the master device of any cordless phone.

However, there are places within the 23 wards where the radio waves of the cordless telephone main unit installed indoors cannot reach because there are wide roads, playgrounds, underground malls, etc. In these areas, there are places where the radio waves of the cordless phone main unit installed indoors do not reach, and in these areas there are places such as telephone poles, roadsides, building walls, etc. that have the same function as the main unit. A transmitting/receiving device is installed that faces a mobile phone with a
Or it must be accommodated in the telephone exchange. In addition,
In recent years, many high-rise apartment buildings have been constructed, and consideration must be given to these as well from the viewpoint of radio wave propagation characteristics.

Furthermore, if a large number of people use mobile phones, there is a risk that calls may become impossible due to traffic, but this will be discussed in detail separately.

Furthermore, in order to be able to make and receive calls while boarding a means of transportation that moves at high speed, such as a car, mutual access to terrestrial mobile communications such as a car phone is required. However, these will be detailed later.

(Study of traffic of mobile phone used in cordless phone mode) As already explained, when the mobile phone system according to the present invention is used within Tokyo's 23 wards, if it is used in cordless phone mode, it will be possible to make calls throughout the wards of Tokyo. Although it has become clear that this is possible, since many subscribers will be using it at the same time, there is a problem as to whether it can be used satisfactorily in terms of traffic. In conclusion, the result is that it is technically possible, as described below.

Cordless telephones currently in NTT service have 46 channels on the same portable device, and use a multi-channel access technology that searches for and uses an empty channel when a certain channel is in use.

Naturally, the mobile phone according to the present invention also applies multi-channel technology, and the number of mobile phone users (subscribers) that can be accommodated is determined below, assuming that the number of usable channels is the same as that of a cordless telephone.

The following specifications are used as the mobile phone usage conditions.

1) The number of repetition zones is 25. This is because in order to avoid radio wave interference, channels currently in use are not used in adjacent zones and are used separately.

11) Set the traffic to 0.03 erlangs (daily usage frequency: 6 times a day, 3 minutes/time, peak concentration rate 10/1), and the traffic for location registration, new services, etc. to 0.027-erlangs. The former is a design condition that is three times the traffic of current car telephones.

iii) Call loss rate B = 0.03 This is the same design condition as the current car telephone system.

iv) The area of Tokyo's 23 wards is 581, and there are 100
Assume that 10,000 parent devices are installed. This value would be a reasonable value assuming a system that includes all of the above-mentioned material ``Long-term Prospects for Radio Wave Utilization''.

Based on the above assumptions, the traffic that can be handled by this mobile phone system can be calculated using the following equation. That is, a (46,0
,03) 38.1081=-=762.2
(person/25 x 25 bo) o, os o
, os a (46,0,03) represents the call volume that Erlang can carry.

In other words, it was shown that 762 subscribers could be used in a 25m square area under the above usage conditions.

Here, it was shown that when the number of repeating zones is 25, the number of subscribers accommodated per zone is 30 people in a 25 m square area under the above conditions of use.

Therefore, within the range of 1 kIfl, there are 48,800 (people/In) x 581 (knT) in the entire Tokyo ward.
= 2,835,2800 (people/23 wards), that is, approximately 2
It can be seen that 8 million people can use it. The above calculations assume that the traffic density within the 23 wards is constant, but in reality, it is assumed that mobile phones will be frequently used in wholesale markets, event venues, etc. Therefore, assuming that the traffic density in such a place is four times the average density, the number of mobile phones that can be accommodated is 28352800x -=7088200, or about 71
00,000 (However, if the zone is divided into four, the average density and the conventional value will suffice). By the way, the current population of the 23 wards is 860.
Since the number of people is about 10,000, this value is estimated to exceed the number of people who require mobile phones, indicating that there is sufficient capacity.

From the above calculation results, it can be seen that in this calculation example, the following values are obtained as the number of accommodated subscribers of the mobile phone system in residential area mode and business area mode.

■ Residential area mode 8 people per mobile phone base unit (need to accommodate 8 mobile phones) ■ Business area mode ■ Mobile phone base unit light 30 people (need to accommodate 30 mobile phones) However, as a practical matter, there is a large amount of traffic from mobile phones in places where many people gather, such as the aforementioned downtown areas, event venues, and baseball stadiums, so in order to manage this traffic, it is necessary to have many mobile phone owners in the same place. It becomes necessary to install equipment. Technically, this is completely possible, and in this case, the configuration of the parent device would be to centrally install a large number of parent device radios in the same rack, such as in a car telephone base station. As described above, since the amount of traffic will increase in the future and it will be used frequently for business purposes, it is predicted that the current number of allocated channels, 46, will not be sufficient.

In fact, in 5 to 10 years, we will need 2 to 4 times as many channels, up to 200 channels. However, even in this case, it is within the range that is sufficiently possible under the current frequency allocation circumstances, and the practicality of this patent is not restricted in any way.

Incidentally, compared to the 600 channels allocated to the current car telephone system, the number of required channels in the present invention remains extremely small at 1/3 of that number.

In addition, future advances in diversity technology will reduce the number of zone repetitions (7 zones, about half the 12 zones, will become possible) and narrow the frequency interval of carrier waves per channel (currently 12.5 KHz to 10 K 11 z). There is a possibility that the frequency bandwidth used will not be much different from the current one by improving the effective frequency utilization rate as follows.Or by introducing digital technology to dramatically improve the effective utilization.

3.5.8 C. Example of realizing a system that coexists with various existing mobile communication systems] The mobile phone referred to in the present invention is ultimately a system that carries the same mobile radio terminal and can make and receive calls from any location in the country. However, since it will take many years to complete, we will introduce it in parts in stages, and in areas where it has not yet been introduced, we will introduce it into various currently used mobile communication systems to achieve almost the same effect as the present invention. An example will show that it is possible to obtain the effect. In each of the following cases, a mobile phone in the corresponding mode is used, i.e. when used in a business or residence, a mobile phone in cordless phone mode; ii) used while walking on a road, etc. iii) If you are in a car, use a mobile phone in car phone mode. iv) If you are on a train, use a mobile phone in train phone mode. Mobile phone ■) If you are on board a ship, a mobile phone in ship phone modevi) If you are on board a ship that performs maritime satellite communications, a mobile phone in maritime satellite communication modevi) If you are on board an aircraft, a mobile phone in maritime satellite communication mode In this case, the objective is to realize a system that can be used as a mobile phone in aircraft telephone mode.

FIG. 5(a) shows a national telephone network configuration according to the present invention.

This will be explained in detail below, but to summarize here, the system is configured such that the mobile phone (terminal) used in the method of the present invention can be used in each of the above-mentioned modes by being inserted into a commercially available terminal. It means that.

In other words, when you are in your office or residence, you can coexist with these systems just like you would with a current cordless phone (the two systems can be used as if they were the same system, so the following explanation will not refer to overlapping and overlapping). )

Furthermore, when riding in a car (naturally, the mobile phone terminal of the present invention will be brought into the car), it is designed so that it can be connected under the interface conditions of the car phone terminal, and it is compatible with the car phone system and system. It will be used while overlapping.

The system configuration can be easily changed so that it can be superimposed on systems such as pagers, train telephones, and ship telephones, and the mobile telephone terminal of the present invention can be used in each system mode.

Hereinafter, it will be explained in detail that this is technically possible and economically possible without incurring an exorbitant system cost.

3.5.8-1 (Functions that should be added to the cordless telephone system necessary for use in cordless telephone mode) N.
There is a TT system, but as mentioned above, this type of system consists of a portable telephone and a parent device that is connected to the telephone via a wireless line and to the exchange via a wired line. There is. Furthermore, this phone and the parent device connected to it usually have a specific affiliation relationship, and the phone can communicate with other parent devices other than that specific parent device even if they are installed within a short distance where wireless communication is possible. A system in which communication is not possible even if the specific parent device is in a specific combination with a telephone other than that telephone, even if there is a telephone within a short distance where wireless communication is possible. Met.

However, in order to use the mobile phone according to the present invention in cordless phone mode, the mobile phone needs to be equipped with means that can always connect to a parent device other than the specific mobile phone parent device connected to it via a wireless line. be. Even if the mobile phone is carried to any location within the premises while in a talking state, continuous communication can be ensured if there is a partner's master device that satisfies the call quality at that location.

The system configuration diagram in this case is similar to that shown in FIG. 3(a), and the functions described below are added to this. Further, the configuration of the mobile phone is shown in FIG. 4(a).

In order to use the mobile phone of the present invention in cordless phone mode, the following functions should be added to the current cordless phone main device.

i) Receives a location registration signal from any mobile phone, stores it in its own device, and transmits subscriber information of the mobile phone to a wireless system control device, PBX, or a first-class exchange such as a central office exchange.

ii) When the mobile phone receives an incoming call, the mobile phone transmits the PID signal of the mobile phone through a control channel to enable the incoming call.

ji) When making a call between a mobile phone in the roam area and a mobile phone master device, the PID of the calling mobile phone.

The call time and other information are transmitted to the subscriber information recording unit (charging unit) included in the first type exchange.

[Functions to be added to wireless system control equipment for cordless telephones or PBX (see Figure 5 (d)) or end office exchanges (hereinafter, exchanges with added functions are referred to as type 1 exchanges)] (i) Cordless telephones It stores subscriber information such as the PID signal of the mobile phone sent from the parent device.

(iii) If the PID of a mobile phone in the roaming area is accepted among the PID signals in item i), the PID
Investigate the contents of the signal. As a result, if it is determined that the mobile phone is in use in the Nth type roam area, the current location of the mobile phone is reported to the subscriber information storage section of the Nth type exchange. In fact, it is sufficient to send the signal to the subscriber information storage section of the second type exchange.

This is because the type 2 exchange also examines the contents of the PID signal and determines whether or not the signal should be sent to a higher level exchange.

(iii) When the incoming call signal of the mobile phone system comes from a type 2 exchange or a mobile phone or general telephone set under the own exchange, the incoming call signal is sent to the parent device.

Gvl In order to operate as a mobile phone system in residential area mode and business area mode or as a mobile phone in continuous location registration request mode, the above-described functions should be provided.

By adding the functions described above, a cordless telephone can be used as a mobile phone system according to the present invention. FIG. 4) shows the internal configurations of the parent device and the mobile phone, and the wireless channel configuration between the two devices. Also, the seventh
Figure (a) shows the flow of calls made and received between both devices.

The above explanation was based on the assumption that by adding functions to an existing cordless telephone, the functions of a terminal device, etc. in the cordless telephone mode of the mobile telephone system according to the present invention can be fulfilled. In fact, if the mobile telephone system according to the present invention becomes widespread, the prevalence of cordless telephones will rapidly decrease, and the mobile telephone system will become widespread in fields that were conventionally considered to be applicable areas of cordless telephones. However, in the above-mentioned ``long-term outlook for radio wave utilization,'' the current system ■～■
We do not foresee the emergence of a system that includes all of
For example, since the number of cordless phones is expected to be as large as 7 million nationwide, we have already provided instructions for using the mobile phone of the present invention while walking, at home, or at an event venue.
This study assumes the distribution of parent devices within a region where cordless telephones are widely used, and clarifies the differences in usage, hardware, software, etc.

Therefore, if the mobile telephone system according to the present invention becomes widespread, the cordless telephone system, which has become less popular, will become a system that can be handled by omitting some functions compared to the mobile telephone system.

[Functions that should be added to the car phone system for use in car phone mode]

In order to enable the mobile phone according to the present invention to be used inside a car, it is a prerequisite that a car phone currently in service is installed in the car. In other words, in the distant future, it is impossible at the current technological level to make a mobile phone brought into a car available for use at all times without the assistance of a car phone system.

First, a description will be given of the NTT system configuration used in practical use as a car phone and the network configuration of this and the present invention.

Figure 9 shows this. The right half of the figure shows the car telephone system configuration, the left half shows the network configuration of the present invention, and the broken line in the center shows the interface.

The following document was referred to for the car phone system configuration in the same figure (
"Car Telephone Radio Line Control" Research and Practical Application Report Vol. 26, No. 7, 1977, ) 3, 5.8-2 [Regarding the method of superimposing the mobile phone system with the car phone system] Hereinafter, the mobile phone system of the present invention will be explained. A method of superimposing this on the current car telephone system will be explained using FIG.

In the figure, the left side of the broken line is the mobile telephone network of the present invention, and the mobile telephone network is accessed from KTC-IV to the mobile telephone exchange MTC.

That is, the fourth type exchange is connected to the mobile telephone exchange (MTC). In addition to the direct lines connecting the mobile phone exchanges, each exchange has transmission lines extending through telephone lines and control lines to the radio line control station and further to each base station. Each base station and car phone are connected wirelessly. The functions of each station making up these car telephone systems will be explained separately.

There are several types of superimposition methods.

The simplest method that does not put a burden on the car telephone system is to bring a mobile phone into the car, as shown in Figure 12(a), and dial the special number ( For example, ##0l-XXX-X
X-XXX-XXXX, except for ##01 are mobile phones PT
D, ×=0°1.2. It is an arbitrary number between - and -9. In practice, a speed dial or the like can be used, and this location registration can be carried out easily.), and the location of the mobile phone is registered in the subscriber information memory section of the MTC. However, in this case, it is assumed that the MTC is required to add a function to accept location registration from a mobile phone.

Car phone (number YY-YYYYY, Y=0, 1.
2. The MTC subscriber information memory unit that receives the location registration from the addressee (any number between 9 and 9) registers the current location of the automatic telephone (unnecessary if it has already been completed) and registers the current location of the mobile phone. The receptionist also remembers the location registration. Also, M
In the TC, a notification is sent to the Type 4 exchange that controls the MTC that the mobile phone is in a state where it is overlapped with the car phone system, and that the location registration has been completed in the own MTC subscriber information memory section. conduct. Upon receiving this notification, the 4th class exchange decodes the PID of the mobile phone and transmits subscriber information such as current location registration information of the mobile phone to the 3rd to 1st class exchanges that manage the mobile phone. and memorize each.

The above processing on the landline telephone station side is completed and the mobile phone waits for the call to be made, but with this method, no calls are made from the mobile phone after this, and all these operations are performed by the car phone. I will do it.

Note that if the power is turned on, it will be easier to receive a call as described later.

However, since billing must be done not to the car phone subscriber but to the mobile phone subscriber, the following dialing operation is performed.

That is, first, when the handset of the car telephone is lifted, the following mobile station calling operations i) to iv) proceed.

i) When the mobile station makes a call, when you lift the handset, it sends a calling signal (your subscriber number and call display).■
. The wireless base station receives this and sends it to the wireless line control station ■. (Refer to Figure 1θ) ii) The radio network control station indicates an empty communication channel in the radio zone using a transmission control channel.

iii) The radio network control station sends a calling party number signal to the mobile telephone exchange via the control line.

iv) Upon receiving this signal, the mobile telephone exchange reads the subscriber data from the home memory station to which the calling subscriber belongs, and analyzes the subscriber data.

Next, dial ##02 before the other party's number, and then dial the other party's number. Thereby, the process moves to operation (v) below.

■) As a result of the analysis, if the call can be made (■), the mobile telephone exchange requests the mobile station to send dialed digits via the radio network control station (■).

The mobile telephone exchange deciphers ##02, determines that the call is from a mobile phone, and searches the first information memory section to see if the location of the mobile phone is registered. As a result, it is confirmed that the mobile phone is superimposed on the car phone (number YY-YYYYY), and the billing information memory section is made ready to start billing when a call is started. Also, notify KTC-■ of calls made from the mobile phone■,
■.

vi) After receiving the dial signal, the exchange operates in the same way as a regular telephone, calling the called party via KTC-IV, KTC-IIl, KTC-It and KTC-1. However, the number of calls is registered for the mobile phone, not the car phone. In addition, in order to bill the charges for the mobile phone, for example, the information is transferred to the first-class exchange billing department that manages the home area of the mobile phone, and the charges are added up with the charges registered in other ROHM areas. This will be done to the phone owner■.

The above operation is illustrated in FIG. 10.

Incoming call to mobile station Next, incoming calls will be explained.

In this case, the mobile phone may already be connected to a mobile telephone exchange (MT).
It is assumed that location registration has been completed in the subscriber information memory section in C).

Now, let's assume that the owner of the mobile phone is contacted from a regular phone anywhere in the country. The call is made from a location (including a Type 4 exchange) where the mobile phone is not accommodated (managed) as a calling phone. In this case, by dialing the PID of the mobile phone, the first
~The type 3 exchange knows that the mobile phone is under another type 4 exchange, and transmits the called mobile phone PID to the type 4 exchange that manages the own exchange. The type 4 exchange that receives these signals transfers these signals via the type 5 exchange or directly to the type 4 exchange that manages the called mobile phone if there is a direct line. The type 4 exchange that receives this signal searches the subscriber information storage section of the own exchange for I) ID. As a result, the mobile phone discovers that it is superimposed on a car phone (number YY-YYYYY), and contacts the car telephone exchange that manages it to initiate a call operation.

This operation is similar to the above-described call receiving operation of the mobile phone mobile station, but in this case, the called party number is the car phone number (YY-YYYYY) instead of the mobile phone PID.

Then, the following operations i) to ix) are performed in sequence.

i) The mobile telephone exchange reads subscriber information from the home memory station to which the called subscriber belongs.

ii) If the subscriber is free based on this information, a paging signal is transmitted to all radio network control stations within the designated paging area via the control line.

iii) The radio network control station calls the called mobile device using the incoming call control line through all radio base stations under its control.

iv) The mobile device automatically transmits a response signal through the incoming call control line. The radio base station sends the received response signal to the radio network control station. The radio line control station sends an incoming call response signal to the mobile telephone exchange via the control line.

(2) Upon receiving this signal, the mobile telephone exchange sends a ringing tone to the called subscriber and a ringback tone to the calling party.

vi) The operation of the exchange after the car phone subscriber responds is almost the same as that of a regular telephone.

In the unlikely event that there is a first-arrival call (or outgoing call) on the car phone, and if the call cannot be received on the car phone, the MTC
Now, it is possible to recognize this and directly call the mobile phone @P ID using the radio waves of the mobile phone wide area calling type 4 wireless base station.

The above explanation is for the case where the calling phone is housed in a different type 4 exchange from the mobile phone, but calls can be made in the same way if the calling phone is housed in the same type 4 exchange. It is. That is, in this case, the calling signal from the calling telephone is transmitted to any of the first to fourth class exchanges in which the mobile telephone is accommodated, and the mobile phone is retrieved by searching in the subscriber information storage section of the exchange. As a result of finding out that the telephone is superimposed on the mobile telephone system via the mobile telephone exchange MTC, the call signal is transmitted from the exchange via the fourth type exchange to the MTC.
This is because it is transmitted to the TC. The following call receiving operation is exactly the same as the above explanation.

Note that the billing to the calling telephone is carried out in the billing information storage section of the subscriber information storage section of the exchange accommodating the telephone, which is exactly the same as billing for ordinary telephones.

Further, the call termination operation is exactly the same as the call termination operation in the above-mentioned car telephone system.

To release a mobile phone from the overlapping state of the car phone system, send a special number from the car phone to the mobile telephone exchange (MTC) (for example, **1l-xxx-xx-xxx-xxx
x) and cancel the location registration of the mobile phone from the subscriber information memory section of the MTC.

A superimposed embodiment of the present invention will be described below, which allows the mobile phone to be used even in a car, compared to the first method described above, although the modification of the mobile phone to the car phone system is increased.

In this case, the car phone and the mobile phone are hybrid-coupled when viewed from the car phone mobile phone body (Fig. 12(b)), and the two are connected in parallel when viewed from the mobile phone body. becomes. Therefore, for car telephones, [
It becomes necessary to modify the mobile phone main body to have a signal transmission and reception interface with the car phone as well as a signal transmission and reception interface that allows calls to be made and received with the mobile phone.

Specifically, the above-mentioned interface is made possible by the following method (1) or (2).

■A signal converter, a memory 1 discriminator, etc. are added to the mobile phone body for making and receiving calls from a mobile phone.

■Match the mobile phone's call signal interface to the car phone.

As a practical matter, it is not advantageous to implement (2) considering that mobile telephones overlap with ship telephone and aircraft telephone systems. This is because mobile phones are desired to be as light and compact as possible in consideration of portability. Therefore, the method (2) will be used, but since the car telephone system is widely used in Japan and it would not be economical to equip all car mobile phone units, it will probably be limited to certain types. Alternatively, it would be more realistic to install a separate mobile phone adapter. An example of an actual connection circuit is shown in FIG. 4(a), but a method that is introduced sequentially when the car phone hardware is updated may also be used. That is, SW in the same figure,
~SW2 is configured to interlock with each other, and is normally connected to the ■ side. When superimposing with another system, SWl
”” Turn S W t to the ■ side.

As a result of this operation, each transmitting and receiving radio section of the mobile phone is separated from the telephone section (the power supply is also turned off), allowing it to operate as a telephone section with the same functions as the telephone section of a mobile phone. becomes.

One way to provide the function (2) is to consider the condition (2) when developing an advanced car phone system. Furthermore, if the interface between the radio section and the telephone section can be made common when changing the system of local mobile communication systems such as car telephone systems and ship telephone systems, the feasibility of (2) will also be improved.

Now, if the measures described above are taken,
The ability to make and receive calls from a mobile phone brought into a car will be explained below.

First, a method for registering a location from a mobile phone to the MTC in FIG. 9 will be explained.

Assume that the mobile phone is turned on and ready to make a call. At this time, the mobile station originating operations i) to (ii) described above are carried out. The user moves on to dialing, but only needs to dial, for example, the above-mentioned special number ##O1. From a car phone mobile device, add (YY-YYYY) to this number.
Y+P ID) signal is automatically transmitted to the wireless base station. When this signal is received by the MTC, the MTC subscriber information memory section stores the registration of the current location of the mobile phone (unnecessary if it has already been completed) as well as the registration of the location of the mobile phone.

In addition, in MTC, as mentioned above, the mobile phone is in a state where it is overlapped with the car phone system for the type 4 exchange that has an interface with MTC, and the location registration is performed by the own MT.
C. Notify the location information memory unit that registration is complete. The Type 4 exchange that received this notification
The ID is decoded, and the subscriber information of the mobile phone is transmitted to the third to first type exchanges that manage the mobile phone, and each is stored.

Now, after the above location registration is completed, a call can be made from the mobile phone using exactly the same operation as making a call from a car phone. Further, billing to the mobile phone is also performed using the same method as the above-mentioned superimposition method.

Next, regarding incoming calls, incoming calls are performed in the same manner as the superimposition method described above, but the ringing is not to the car phone (the ringing is performed to the mobile phone, and the user carries the phone while in the car). It becomes possible to make calls using the telephone.

In this case, the superimposition can be canceled by dialing a special number (for example, **ll) from the mobile phone.

The third method of integrating mobile phones into the car phone system requires more modifications than the second method. There is also a method that does not require the above changes, which will be explained below.

This is a method of making and receiving calls from a mobile phone brought into the car by having the car phone mobile unit installed in the car operate as a mobile phone master device, which requires the following modifications to the car phone. .

■Equip a mobile phone with the function of a mobile phone master device.

In addition to ■■, the functions of the mobile phone control unit will be strengthened in order to achieve both the function of ■ and the original functions of a car phone.

Since it is not wise to make the above modifications be applied to all mobile phone terminals, it is recommended that only those mobile terminals that are intended to overlap with mobile telephones be equipped with the modifications described above.■.

A practical method is to provide the function (2) separately from the mobile device as an adapter.

Although the above description has been made regarding the case where the mobile telephone according to the present invention is superimposed on a car telephone system, it can also be realized in a ship telephone system or an aircraft telephone system by applying the same method. FIG. 5(b) or (C) shows the connections between these systems and the network configuration according to the invention. Both systems have an interface with KTC-IV.

3, 5.8-3 (Regarding the method of superimposing the mobile phone system with the pager system) The mobile phone according to the present invention can be carried while walking on city streets and can make and receive calls in cordless phone mode. has already been explained, but below we will discuss how to combine it with the pager system currently in service.

The significance of combining the mobile phone system with the pager system is as follows.

That is, although it can be used in a cordless telephone mode in urban areas, the wireless radio wave transmission power of the mobile telephone or cordless telephone of the present invention is extremely weak at about 6 mW. Therefore, if there is an obstruction or the like in the space near the transmission, the radio wave propagation characteristics deteriorate and the quality of the call deteriorates, or in some cases, the call becomes impossible. It is necessary to take into account that this often occurs especially in large buildings, underground malls, underground parking lots, etc.

On the other hand, the transmission power of the radio waves emitted from the pager type base station is extremely high at 250 W (the current service maintains a fairly good call rate even in the closed space of the first basement floor. Therefore, When the mobile phone is on standby (downlink control CH is being captured) in business district mode, if the control channel of the cordless phone main unit or mobile phone device cannot be captured due to movement of location, the mobile phone is on standby The wireless frequency of the control channel of the mobile phone is changed from the cordless phone to the paging frequency of the pager and the mobile phone waits.This is possible due to the hardware, and the noise level of the noise level detector of the mobile phone shown in exceeds a certain value, the frequency of the receiving frequency synthesizer is changed to the pager-type calling frequency according to instructions from the control unit.After that, the mobile phone operates as a pager-type pager (mobile phone a). Figure 7(b) shows the flow of the incoming call operation.The calling base station in the pager system is called from KTC-I to IID in Figure 5(C). It is assumed that a function has been added so that a calling radio wave is sent out when a control signal is received.

If the base station calls the pager in this state, the call switch is turned on (the handset hangs off). At this time, look at the instructions on the call availability display (blue indicates possible, red indicates not) on the mobile phone, and if it is possible to make a call, use the nearest cordless telephone (or mobile phone) main unit (SI).
D) shows that it has captured the downlink control channel, and sends out a call signal using its own PID on the uplink control channel. KTC-[ receives the PID+SID signal, finds that PID is in SID, and sends an incoming call signal addressed to S[D.

The parent device receives an incoming call signal from KTC-1,
After confirming the PID of the mobile phone, an incoming call signal is sent to the mobile phone. After that, you can make a call using the same flow as when receiving a call in cordless phone mode (see Figure 7).
a)). During this time, the caller will receive a message from the pager local exchange (class 1 exchange according to the present invention): ``You are currently being paged.'' Please wait for a while.J or other audio services are in progress. (Figure 7 (
(See b)) If the call availability display on your mobile phone cannot be displayed, walk to the first floor if you are in a basement, or near the exit stairs to the ground level if you are in an underground mall, and then check the call display again. Check the display, and if the call can be made, it will indicate that the downlink control channel of the nearest cordless phone (or mobile phone) 11 device has been captured, and the call will be made with the caller using the same operation as above. It can be done. FIG. 7(b) is a diagram showing the operations described above in relation to the operations of each part of the network according to the present invention.

Finally, the functions of the mobile phone wide area call type 5 base station (satellite abbreviated as KRC-■) will be explained.

By around the year 2000, the mobile telephone system according to the present invention in Japan has become widespread, and it is thought that a situation has emerged in which calls can be made anytime, from anywhere, and to any place. However, even in this era, there are still certain areas of Japan where the above conditions are not satisfied. One of them is that when a mobile phone is located in a steep mountain range such as the Japanese Alps, the radio waves from the nearest mobile phone master device or pager base station do not provide sufficient input power to the mobile phone, and the incoming call signal cannot be received. This is the case when the information is not transmitted. Two of them are mobile phone owners who are onboard ships or aircraft on ocean voyages.

In addition to the mobile phone system according to the present invention, private communications and other public communications may also be considered as communications in these places.
The method according to the invention is also applicable. In other words, it is the use of a type 5 wireless base station for wide area calling of mobile phones using satellites. In the following cases, a call is made in response to an instruction by a control signal from a type 5 exchange.

■ The subscriber determines the usage area in advance for ffJj, and limits it to certain incoming calls (or to all incoming calls).
When calling.

■ If a normal incoming call is received and there is no response, or if there is no response to a call from a wide area call type 1 wireless base station or a call from a wide area call type 4 wireless base station, the subscriber's contract will be suspended. When calling based on.

■ When the called party is a VIP or an emergency communication is required.

For ships sailing in the ocean, if the ship is equipped with other communication equipment, it will be possible to make and receive calls by adding a function similar to the system overlay to a car phone to the communication equipment. . That is, incoming calls are made using satellites,
After receiving this, communication using the mobile phone will be performed using the communication equipment equipped on the ship.

The same applies to incoming calls while boarding an aircraft.

In steep mountains such as the Japanese Alps, even if a wide area call is made by satellite, a response cannot be expected because there is no wireless equipment nearby, so it is desirable to include communication information in the call signal. In this case, the called party can receive the sent communication information by displaying it on the display of his/her own mobile phone or listening to it as voice information.

The traffic of transmission signals from the n-th type (n=1°4 and 5) wireless base stations for mobile phone wide area calling will be explained. As described above, most of the mobile phone traffic according to the present invention is cordless phone mode traffic. Therefore, although only a small number of wide-area calls are made overall, the type 1 radio base station has relatively large traffic. Next is the fourth type wireless base station, and the one with the least traffic is the fifth type wireless base station, which uses satellites. In this respect, since satellites are often used for other communications, it is likely that the present invention will be used to make calls to mobile (iF) telephones by sharing equipment with other systems.Therefore, the cost of the system will be very high. There are no problems, and it is considered that the system as a whole can be used in a harmonious manner.

3.5.9 (Regarding functions other than the calling function of the mobile phone) Since the mobile phone according to the present invention can make and receive calls anywhere in the country, it has various benefits other than the phone's original calling function, as described below.

The greatest of these will be the ability to provide credit (credit) due to the overwhelming improvement in identification ability as a personal identification (ID) compared to current magnetic cards or IC cards. Table 4 shows a comparison of these ID functions.

Table 4 Comparison of functions between an IC card (magnetic card) and a mobile phone as an ID (il Credit card function) Since the mobile phone according to the present invention has a PID that is different from other mobile phones, it is possible to display the credit amount on the display of the phone and store it at a store. Specifically, it can be used as a payment method in the following cases.

Mr. A, who owns a mobile phone (PID), went shopping at B store. Assume that the amount to be paid at this time is 85,000 yen. When Mr. A turns on the power in front of his mobile phone inside B store (near the cash register), the mobile phone master device (PID,
) and complete the location registration of the own mobile phone as described. That is, it is stored in the roam area type 1 exchange subscriber information storage unit.

Next, Mr. A presses the PrD function buttons and numbers in the following order (###85000) to display on the display section.

Show this display to the cashier at the store, confirm it, enter your PIN, and turn on the quick call button.
This signal is transmitted to the storage section of the subscriber information section of the first type AC IA machine via X, and is stored as PID, + P tD X+85000 in the credit storage section of the special information storage section. However, if you have a history of insolvency, there will be an answer back that will prevent you from using your credit card.

After this process is completed, there is a voice answer from the KTC-1.
, there was an entry for the memory entry of the credit amount to the owner. The amount is 85,000 yen” signal appears on P.
ID, (and PIDX mobile phone or PID, landline phone).

However, the signal to the landline telephone (PIE) is not voice (bell ringing and display ¥85,000, PID,
(numerical display such as) may be made.

As a result of the above, Mr. A's credit card payment at store B is completed, and the rest of the process is to send special information to the credit company (hereinafter referred to as company C) with which store B has a contract. The signal (amount of money) stored in the credit storage section of the information storage section is transferred on a certain fixed day (or every day).

Company C aggregates the amount, charges the monthly payment payment bank for each PID, debits the payment amount from the deposit account specified by Mr. A, and deposits it into Company C's account.

Company C deposits an amount commensurate with Mr. A's credit amount into the store B's account, and all credit card payments made by Mr. A at store B are completed here.

(iii) Mobile phone into which a telephone card can be inserted The mobile phone according to the present invention has a PIN number added to the PID, so that even if it is stolen, it cannot be misused, but the number of telephone cards in circulation has increased recently. With the rapid increase in the number of telephone cards, the use of mobile phones that can use telephone cards will provide greater convenience to telephone card holders.

The following two ways can be considered as actual usage.

■ How to insert a telephone card into a mobile phone so that the mobile phone operates as if it were a card-type public telephone; ■ Adding a telephone card adapter to insert a telephone card into a mobile phone allows it to function as a card-type public telephone with the functions of ■. Methods to make them work equally well: Both of methods ① and ③ above are thought to be possible as telephone card readers will become smaller in the future. ■ will be introduced as soon as possible.

Furthermore, since not only a telephone card but also a magnetic card or an IC card can be inserted and used, it is possible to allow the user to select a payment method (settlement method) desired by the user.

(i [) Message service When a mobile phone turns on the power switch, the message addressed to the PID that was previously transmitted is stored in the subscriber information memory section of the first type exchange that manages the area, and If the PID wishes to receive message service,
The message service can be received by pressing the message service reception function button ##90.

(ivl Directions function) When using the mobile phone according to the present invention in cordless phone mode, turn on the power switch (and
Mobile phones located in parks, roads, etc. (mobile phone systems in cordless phone mode and business district mode) always capture the downlink control Ct of the parent device, so the SI of the parent device
It is possible to know the name of the place where one is located by displaying D on the display of one's mobile phone. That is, a request signal for displaying the SID signal of the mobile phone host device is transmitted to the mobile phone master device that is acquiring the control channel. That is, when function button ##80 is pressed, the 5IDn captured at that time can be displayed.

Also, inform the first type exchange in advance of the PID of your destination (visited place) (Route guidance service mode ##8
2) and PID match the street address of the city, town, village,
When approaching this address, the ringer of the mobile phone notifies you that the destination is nearby, and when it captures the control channel of the mobile phone master device of the visited destination's SID or PID, a high-level ringing sound indicates the current location. Notify. Therefore, mobile phone owners can go to their destinations without much effort.

(■) (Function as a substitute for other certificates) ■ Substitute for a driver's license In addition to the PID of the mobile phone, the driver's license PID (MPI
(abbreviated as D) and make it the license number of the driver's license 7
With this function, it can be used as a driver's license. MPID includes the type of driver's license, driving history,
This includes the violation layer 1 hour age, etc. Also, in this case,
Among the information stored in the subscriber information storage section of the mobile phone, information related to driver's licenses needs to be transferred to the office managed by the Public Safety Commission.

■ Function as membership card of various organizations including golf membership card In addition to PrD of mobile phone, PID of golf membership card
(abbreviated as GPID) allows it to function as a membership card.

It also functions as an attendance card for companies, offices, etc. Furthermore, regarding the wireless opening and closing of electronic lockers,
Only a specific PID owner can open and close it.

In the future, by concluding a treaty with a foreign country, it will be possible to use it as a substitute for a passport (PID + Passport PID (PPID), etc., making the passport issuance process more efficient.

■ JNR - 2 Function as a substitute for tickets for private railways, theaters, etc. At the ticket gate of a JNR or private railway, insert your mobile phone into the 10 confirmation device, enter, use transportation to your destination, and then open the ticket gate. When leaving the store, insert the card into the D confirmation device again, and the charges can be paid in the same way as for purchases using credit as described above.

■ Function as a means to realize a paperless society Functions as a ballot paper for general elections, local elections, etc. That is,
By notifying the election management committee in advance that your PID matches the information on your resident card and obtaining permission, you can vote from home, for example, without having to go to the polling station on the day of voting. It will be possible to get it done. That is, after displaying the candidate name, candidate number, etc. on the display of the mobile phone and confirming that there are no mistakes, the voting number, for example ###11, is displayed.
When dialing , the transmission signal is sent via the subscriber information storage section of KTC-1 to the voter information storage section managed by the election management committee of that district. Here, the PID and the candidates voted for are confirmed, and if the votes are valid, they are transferred to the counting center as valid votes. In addition, voters who do not own a mobile phone can vote in the traditional way (and even those who own a mobile phone can change to the traditional voting method for some reason. This is because the voting center and voter information storage unit This is because they are connected via a direct line, and the PID and whether or not they have already voted can be immediately determined. However, when voting by mobile phone, in order to confirm that the person is the person voting, the person's voiceprint and password are required in advance. It is necessary to deliver (number) (election PID) or signature etc.For similar functions, PrD + P for each purpose is used in machines that directly ask people for or against referendums or national politics.
By using an ID, it becomes easier to indicate your approval or disapproval and participate in national politics. It can also be expected to improve work efficiency in censuses, etc.

fvi) Function as an input terminal for deposits to and withdrawals from a bank account, purchase and sale of bonds, one share of proprietary securities, etc. PID and PIN of the mobile phone (Bank PID
) or the owner's voiceprint, etc., it becomes possible to substitute functions such as the title.

3.6 (How to use mobile phone and system operation) Below, the mobile phone according to the present invention was used while walking around a house.

Also, we will explain how to use it in a car or other vehicle, as well as general usage such as using it for credit purposes other than communication or as a certificate, and the system operations associated with this. In the case of the cordless telephone mode, it is assumed that the control signal from the mobile telephone master device is, in principle, constantly transmitted, that is, in the business district mode.

First, I will explain how to use it when you are in a home area, as there is no difference in using the mobile phone system in residential area mode from a regular telephone or a cordless telephone currently being serviced by NTT, and there is no particularly new operation on the network side. is omitted.

1) Consider a case in which a user leaves his/her home area and, for example, takes a walk to a nearby park in order to make or receive a call from the FFI Class 1 roaming area. Here, the mobile phone owner is Mr. A, and Mr. A's PID is PID.

shall be. Now, Mr. A began his walk carrying his mobile phone with him, but normally the power switch of his mobile phone would be turned off.

That is, this is to save power and extend the life of the battery. Of course, you can leave the power switch on, but in this case, in business district mode, the mobile phone that is receiving the control signal will receive the downlink signal sent from the mobile phone master device installed in each nearby residence as you walk. Upon receiving the control channel signal, the location registration will be changed every time the parent device changes.

That is, the SID signal, which is the ID of the parent device, is constantly flowing on the downlink control channel sent from each parent device, and the mobile phone that receives this signal checks the parent device WSID signal in its own memory. As a result, S has already memorized
It finds that the ID is different from the ID (that is, it is in the first type roam area), and at this time, it sends its own P to the new parent device for registration.
This is done by transmitting ID and signals using an uplink control channel.

The new parent device that received the PID signal searches its own memory and recognizes that it is not the PID of the mobile phone that is always paired with the white device, stores it in its own memory and sends it to the first type exchange. A request is made to the subscriber information storage unit of the mobile phone to register the location of the mobile phone.

At this time, the signal is from the parent device 5ID2 and the mobile phone PID,
Therefore, the subscriber information storage section of the first type exchange that received this signal stores the mobile phone P.
The current location of ID, which was the SID of the home area, is rewritten and is newly recorded as being at the parent device SID. Furthermore, at this point, it is of course possible to use the mobile phone as a new tax device, and Mr. A can talk to the other party on the road via a third party's parent device (SIDZ).

In other words, for making calls, the new tax device stDg is already accessible, and when the same dialing operation as for making a call from the home area is performed, a call signal from the mobile phone is accepted via the new tax device. The first type exchange confirms that the current location of the mobile phone is registered in the parent device 5ID2 of the first type ROHM area by searching the subscriber information memory section, and sends the mobile phone to the first type exchange 0 billing section. When a call is started, an instruction is given to charge using the PID and name.

The process of investigating the telephone number of the called party, communicating a predetermined relay route, and sending a ringing signal to the called telephone is the same as a normal telephone.

Next, regarding the incoming call to the mobile phone, the incoming call signal from the nationwide phone and this phone will also enter the first type exchange, just like an ordinary phone call, but here the called party will be connected to the mobile phone. When it recognizes that the telephone is the destination (this can be easily identified because the PID signal structure is different from a regular telephone number), the location of the telephone is always registered in the subscriber information storage unit of the exchange to determine whether the telephone is in the home area or not. Search the storage section and check each time.

As a result, when it is confirmed that the mobile phone is currently registered in the parent device 5IDz, the mobile phone PID and the destination call signal are sent to the parent device 5ID2. Upon receiving this, the parent device 5 ID2 searches the PID signal memory section within its own device, and when it confirms that the PID is registered in its own service area, it uses the downlink control channel to call the mobile phone using the PID, Send a signal. Upon receiving this signal, the call bell section of the mobile phone rings, and when Mr. A puts it into a hang-off state, he is able to talk to the caller. In addition,
In this case, the type 1 exchange sends the caller's calling back tone, etc. in the same way as a normal telephone, so the details will be omitted.

As described above, in the vicinity of the home area, the location registration of the mobile phone is only performed in the subscriber information storage unit of the first type exchange, but not in the second type or higher type exchanges. This is natural since Mr. A is in the area managed by the first-class exchange, so there is no need for intervention by the higher-level exchange. In other words, the incoming call signal from all over the country and from this phone is transmitted via the first type exchange that manages the mobile phone, so the first type exchange (the exchange that manages the first signal roam area) This is because it is sufficient to search the location registration storage section of the subscriber information storage section housed in ).

In the above explanation, the mobile phone carried by Mr. A was in a state where it could make and receive calls, that is, it was in a state where the power was on. However, the power is normally off and the power is turned on only when Mr. A wants to make a call. However, in this case, if there is an incoming call, the current location of the mobile phone is not registered in the subscriber information storage unit (location registration storage unit) of the first type exchange, so the call will be made assuming that the mobile phone is in the home area. . If the home area is equipped with a fixed-line telephone set to pair with the mobile phone, it will ring, but if it is not, at a certain timing, the first-class exchange will indicate that the mobile phone is not in the home area. judge,
The caller will receive an automatic response that says, ``The mobile phone you are calling from is not in your home area.'' Therefore, users who need to make and receive calls all the time, such as salesmen and doctors, should always turn on the power. It will be used in the on state.

Now, suppose Mr. A arrived at a park not far from his home, sat down on a bench, and was resting for a while when he remembered something and wanted to make a call using the mobile phone he was carrying. In the park, base devices for mobile phones are installed on utility poles and the like in various places, and it is assumed that it is possible to talk to any of these base devices at any location in the park. When Mr. A turns on his mobile phone, the mobile phone radio starts capturing the downlink control channel from the nearest parent device. Therefore, when the downlink control channel of a certain parent device 5ID3 is captured, the communication partner's 5IDz signal is stored in the memory section of the own device, and the own PID and signal are transmitted to the parent device SID through the uplink control channel.
, send to.

The parent device SID that received this sends a message to its own device memory.
ID, and at the same time sends a location registration request signal (PID, -1-SID2) addressed to the first type exchange. Upon receiving this signal, the first type exchange transfers the signal to the location registration storage section in its own subscriber information storage section and rewrites the previous memory to remember that PID is within the parent device 5IDs service area. let

As above, the current location of Mr. A's mobile phone has been registered, so future calls will be made in the same way as when Mr. A had always turned on the power and his mobile phone was always ready to make and receive calls. This is possible through action.

After completing the above-mentioned business, Mr. A was on his way home, but as he passed under the railway guard, an incoming call signal rang from his mobile phone. This ringing had a different tone from the incoming call from the mobile phone's main unit, so the mobile phone's wide area call
I immediately knew that it was the ringtone coming from the seed wireless base station. When I looked at the call availability display on my mobile phone, I saw a red light indicating that calls could not be made, so I gave up trying to turn on the call button (in this case, the incoming call acceptance button works as an acceptance button).
I continued walking. When I passed under the guard, the light changed to blue and I was able to receive a call, so I turned on the button. Then, the call became available, and when I began to say, "Mojimoji," the person on the other end was Mr. A's wife, and I was able to ask her about the business.

i:) Calls made and received from Type 2 roam area Now, after completing the above business, Mr. A decides to end his walk and returns home, and then goes to the office to handle a certain business. Suppose that

Although Mr. A's office is located in the same city as his home (for example, Hoya City, Tokyo), his office is located in a different area (a Type 2 ROHM area) where the telephone exchanges that house telephones are different. -I decided to go out. Mr. A's mica
Since the car is equipped with a car phone, there is no problem with making phone calls from within the car, but due to circumstances where the car phone is subscribed to, if you use it for personal use, you may be able to access someone else's phone without permission. I don't really feel like borrowing it, so I almost never use it. In such a case, as already detailed, the mobile phone system according to the present invention can be superimposed on the car phone system, so if this is applied, the user's mobile phone can be used even in the car, and billing can be done using the mobile phone as well. This is done in a timely manner so that it does not cause trouble to others.

However, let us assume that this was not necessary today and that we arrived safely at Mr. A's office.

Mr. A could go straight to the office and work, but he remembered that he needed to go shopping, so he went shopping at a store near the office. A
His shopping trip was to get a new top and bottom of his suit. Mr. A made the payment using the mobile phone he carried without using cash. As explained in the previous chapter, this is possible. On the way home, I remembered another matter and turned on my cell phone to make a call. Then, the downlink control channel of the mobile phone master device (SID3) installed on a nearby utility pole is captured, and the first mobile phone master device, which is managing this mobile phone master device, uses a process similar to that described above. A current location registration request signal is transmitted to the subscriber information storage section (location registration memory section) of the type exchange KTC-1-(2). The location registration memory unit that received this information uses the PID of the mobile phone and the signal structure of the signal to indicate that the mobile phone is located in the home area of another type 1 exchange 1 (KTC-1-1), not an optical exchange, but in the same city. It determines that the mobile phone has a mobile phone, and registers the location of the mobile phone in its own location registration memory (P
ID3) and also manages the mobile phone and the mobile phone (manages the Type 2 roam area).
It sends a location registration completion signal to the host exchange (KTC-ll-1) and reports that the mobile phone master device SID has received a location registration request for the mobile phone PID under KTC-1-1.

Upon receiving this report, the second type exchange stores the information in the location registration storage section of its own subscriber information storage section, and at the same time, the first type exchange (KTC), which manages the home area of the mobile phone, stores the information in its own subscriber information storage section. -1-1) versus KTC-1
-2, and requests the location registration storage unit in the subscriber information storage unit to register (rewrite) the location registration location of the mobile phone. In response to this, the first type exchange (KTC-1-1) rewrites the information in the subscriber information storage section.

From this point on, Mr. A is now able to make calls to any location in the country, but the network operation in this case is exactly the same as the above-mentioned call within the park, so the explanation will be omitted. However, regarding billing, PID+ is charged in the billing information storage section of the subscriber information storage section of the first type exchange, and the billing information is periodically transferred once a month to the first type exchange billing section where Mr. A is located. Mr. A is now billed in one lump sum.

Also, the incoming call to Mr. A's mobile phone will be explained. Incoming calls are possible after location registration is completed, but if the caller is under the switchboard that manages Mr.
The current location of the called party is known at the level of TC-1-1, the incoming call signal is transferred to KTC-1-2 via KTC-1-1, and the incoming call to the mobile phone is executed.

Next, when a call is made from a telephone under the first type exchange KTC-1-2 that manages the parent device in the first type roam area, the connection is completed only by KTC-1-2.

Furthermore, if the call is made from a place other than the above two cases, that is, from a higher-order roam area that is above the type 2 area, the called telephone signal will enter KTC-11-1, so the called telephone signal will be sent to the KTC-11-1. When it is analyzed and determined that it is addressed to a mobile phone, K
The subscriber information storage section in TC-11-1 is searched to check the location registration of the called mobile phone. As a result, it is confirmed that the mobile phone exists in the roam area managed by the subordinate type 1 exchange KTC-1-2, and an incoming call signal addressed to KTC-1-2 is transmitted. KTC-1- which received this signal
In step 2, the own subscriber information storage unit is searched, and the mobile phone master device (S I
PID of the mobile phone via D3.

Sends a destination call signal. As a result, the bell section of the mobile phone rings, and Mr. A is able to enter the hang-off state and begin the conversation.

The above explanation was for the case where the call was completed within the Type 2 roam area. The operation of this system will be described below when the owner moves from a type 1 roam area to a type 2 roam area while the mobile phone is powered on and in a standby or talking state.

One day, Mr. A decided to walk from his home (Hoya City) to his office, carrying his mobile phone with it turned on. As mentioned above, when a mobile phone leaves its home area, it receives a downlink control channel signal sent from a mobile phone master device installed in a third party's residence or on a utility pole on the street. Correspondingly, the mobile phone sends out a PID+ signal using the uplink control channel to register the location, but as the walk progresses, the user reaches a location beyond the area controlled by the first-class exchange. When this area is crossed at the next point in time, the parent device installed there (another type 1 exchange 1KT (which is under -1-2) receives signals using the control channel as before. A location registration signal is sent through the exchange, but the mobile phone sends a P via the parent device.
Another first-class exchange KTC-I-2 that received the ID and signal
(located in the same Hoya City), as a result of investigating the PID and signal, it was determined that the mobile phone was not a phone under its own exchange, but a different type 1 exchange KTC-I-1, and the own exchange A location registration signal for the mobile phone is sent to the second type exchange aKTc-11-1 that manages the mobile phone. The subscriber information storage section of the second type exchange that received this signal sends the P I to the white section.
D, +S I D, the first type exchange KTC- which stores signals and manages the home area of the mobile phone.
1-1 is instructed to register the current location of PID.

When the above operations are completed, the procedure is completed indicating that the mobile phone is in the second type roam area, and it is possible to make and receive calls.

The above explanation is that the roam area was changed while the mobile phone was on standby, but even during a call, the same location registration as above is performed, except that the control operation changes the call channel due to the change of the parent device. It turns out.

ii) Incoming call from the third-class loam area Mr. A decided to drive his car one day to visit a friend who lived in the Musashino area (a third-class loam area). Since I rarely visit this friend's house, I was confused because I didn't know which house I was looking for, so I decided to park my car on the road and use my cell phone to call my friend and ask for directions.

First, when the power switch is turned on, a location registration request signal enters the subscriber information storage unit (location registration unit) of the first-class exchange (KTC-■-3) that manages this area according to the process already described. It's here. Upon receiving this signal, the subscriber information storage unit investigates the PIDI signal of the mobile phone, recognizes that the mobile phone has a home area in another city, and manages the stored Kamishiro switchboard (KTC-1-3). We reported to Type 2 Exchange i (KTC-If-2) that we are requesting PIDI signal location registration. As a result, the second
The subscriber information storage unit of the local exchange memorizes the sent signal and, as a result of investigation, recognizes that the mobile phone has a home area in another city, and manages the local exchange (and the mobile phone). Type 3 exchange m, which is a higher-level exchange
These signals were transferred to CKTC-Tfl-1).

The KTC-I [1-1 that received this signal stores it in the subscriber information storage section of its own exchange and also stores the location registration of PID for the second type and first type exchanges that manage the mobile phone. requested that it be done.

As already explained, it is clear that once the above conditions are completed, Mr. A's mobile phone will be able to make and receive calls to and from a phone located anywhere in Japan. As mentioned above, Mr. A called a friend at the place he was visiting and asked for directions, but it is not necessarily necessary to use this method. By making a request, you can achieve a similar goal without having to bother your friend.

iv) Calls made and received from Type 4 ROHM area One day, Mr. A decided to travel to the Takasaki region (Type 4 ROHM area) for new business. I boarded the train carrying my mobile phone. I had no particular business to attend to in the car, but I left my cell phone turned on in case I received a call from my office. Then, 15 minutes before I got off at Takasaki Station, an incoming call signal rang on my cell phone. This means that each car on the train you ride is equipped with a mobile phone master device, and the mobile phone master device whose location has been registered is in a state where you can use your mobile phone in a way that is superimposed on the train radio system. by. In other words, when a passenger receives a call, the train radio base station sends an incoming call signal to the train Mr. A is boarding, and the train radio control unit checks Mr. A's location registration and determines the number of cars in the train. The mobile phone master device determines whether to call the mobile phone and sends an incoming call signal. The following operations are the same as for normal incoming calls. Depending on the type of train, there are cases where only one or two train public telephones are provided on the train. In this case, the incoming call signal is sent directly to the mobile phone from the mobile phone wide area calling base station. A method is also used in which the owner of the mobile phone who receives this goes to the nearest public telephone, connects the mobile phone with a connection unit, and receives an incoming call.

Mr. A answered the call using the former method, then relieved himself and got off the train at Takasaki Station. Now, while I was walking on the road for a while, I felt the need to contact someone at my office in Musashinofu, so I turned on my cell phone.

Then, the location registration is completed in the subscriber information storage section (location registration section) of each of the following exchanges by the same process as already explained.

■ First to third type exchanges that manage the roam area ■ First to fourth type exchanges that manage the home area After that, the mobile phone can make and receive calls.

After completing his errands in Takasaki, Mr. A decided to spend the weekend enjoying golf at a golf course in the region. This golf course is A
He is also a member and was asked to present his membership card or mobile phone at the reception desk, so he presented his mobile phone. The receptionist was able to verify the ID (GPID) of the golf club's membership card by making a call between Mr. A's mobile phone and the mobile phone master device owned by the receptionist. I was able to immediately confirm my membership via 1111.

Mr. A spent the weekend playing golf and returned home satisfied.

On another day, Mr. A traveled to a hot spring resort in Minami Kishu with his wife for a week. Mr. A and his wife each brought their favorite mobile phones with them, and they made great use of them when they went sightseeing in the region. Sunday of this week was voting day for the general election. Previously, if you were absent from your polling place on Election Day, you were required to vote absentee. This required a complicated procedure.

However, near the year 2000, there was no longer a need for such complicated absentee voting procedures, and voters could vote at any voting location nationwide on the day of the election.

The power of the mobile phone of the present invention, which can be used to make and receive calls anywhere in the country, has contributed greatly to this. That is, as explained in the previous chapter, the user's IDG11 L'2 is stored on the mobile phone.
This is because it has become possible to have the role of a ballot paper. Voters must arrive at their scheduled voting location in advance by the day before election day.
Voting time.

Register the PID of the mobile phone used for voting, the ID used only for elections (election ID), voiceprint, and information about the person (place of birth, date of birth, dual domicile, family structure, etc.). On the day of voting, call your assigned voting location (control center) from the designated time and location using your mobile phone.

Then, the management center confirms the PID and election ID.

In addition, we will check your voiceprint and ask you questions about your place of birth and date of birth (
If you pass these checks (automatic voice questions and response checks), your identity has been verified.
Move to voting operation. Mr. and Mrs. A successfully completed their absentee voting through this process. Note that the election ID used by Mr. and Mrs. A will automatically disappear upon completion of voting, and protective measures have been taken to make it impossible for a third party to vote using the mobile phone.

■) Calls made and received from Type 5 roam area Mr. A decided to travel to another Kuchidome Kaido region.

As an example, I carried a mobile phone with me, but by turning on the power, the location registration is completed in the subscriber information storage unit (location registration unit) of each of the following exchanges, and the mobile phone can make and receive calls. became.

■ Class 1 to 4 exchanges that manage the roam area ■ Class 1 to 5 exchanges that manage the home area vi) How to use mobile phones in wide area calling mode and use the location detection function Mr. A's son, Mr. B, is currently attending university, but Mr. A decided to go mountain climbing in the Japanese Alps with a friend during summer vacation, so Mr. A decided to bring a mobile phone to Mr. B.

Mr. B decided to carry his mobile phone, which he regularly uses, since it wouldn't be part of his luggage. And in advance KTC-
I had requested that V be called by satellite. I was away from home and traversing the Alps for a few days when my cell phone rang.

The tone of this ringing was different from the tone from the mobile phone master device and the mobile phone wide area call type 1 or type 4 base station, so this was the same as the tone from the mobile phone wide area call 5th type by satellite.
I could immediately identify that the call signal was from a different base station. When Mr. B looked at the display of the mobile phone, he saw the message ``Praying for your safety, Part Ando,'' and learned that it was a telegram of encouragement from Mr. Ando, who was studying at the same university as Mr. B. I was able to climb down the mountain safely.

One day, Mr. and Mrs. A went to an amusement park with their son, his wife, and their grandson Ren. This amusement park is very large, and it was expected that it would be difficult to contact each other if we got separated, so we each carried a mobile phone in preparation for this. Also, Sun Ren was given a mobile phone (powered on) instead of a lost child. Mr. A and his wife, their son and his wife, and their grandchild had different interests, so they were separated, but when the grandchild got lost, they were able to confirm the current location and immediately arrive at the scene, and also at mealtimes and on the way home. In addition, we were able to easily communicate with each other regarding the reunion location, etc., and had a very comfortable day.

vii) Omission of the location registration and storage operation for the mobile phone in the exchange that manages the roam area In the above explanation, in order to make it technically clear that the mobile phone according to the present invention can be used in the roam area, the roam area is omitted. Although the explanation has been made on the premise that location registration is performed for the mobile telephone in the same manner as in the exchange managing the home area in the managing exchange, this is not necessarily necessary in practice. Instead, ■Every time a call is made from a mobile device, call information (billing information) is sent to the exchange (any of Types 1 to 5) that manages the home area.
need to be informed.

(2) Regarding incoming calls from mobile devices Even if a call is received from an area near the roaming area, it is necessary to register part of the incoming call signal in time to the fifth to first class exchanges that manage the home area.

This results in disadvantages such as: (See Figures 11 (a) to (g)) Similarly to the above, if the exchange memory that manages the home area also stores the position information of mobile phones in multiple exchange roam areas, even if omitted, the system does not become inoperable, but operations ① and ② above are required.

viii) Functions of a landline phone that pairs with a mobile phone installed in the home area If a landline phone that pairs with a mobile phone is installed,
By obtaining the current location information of the mobile phone from the first type exchange location information memory section, it is possible to provide the following functions.

■If a mobile phone receives a call while it is registering its location in the roaming area, and the mobile phone does not respond within a certain period of time for some reason, the call will be terminated and the call will be sent to the landline phone in the home area. Perform incoming call forwarding. It is also possible to display the calling telephone number and the current registered location of the mobile phone.

- When the owner of a mobile phone phone returns to his/her seat, the user can read out the status of calls made and received while the owner was away, and play back recordings of business matters.

3.7 (Effects of the Invention) By applying the present invention to a mobile phone system, it can be used in homes, department stores, baseball stadiums, or the premises of event venues, which were previously considered technically and economically impossible. The ability to make and receive calls efficiently at any time, anywhere, even while walking on the road, has a huge effect in making social life more convenient for the people. In addition, you can use your mobile phone for functions other than calling, such as personal identification (ID).
By using it as a credit function, and by using it as an advanced function of IC cards, etc., it will bring great benefits in social life.
