This will be described with reference to a real time communication propagation environment collection system and method thereof of Patent No. 10-2002-0027201.

This is when the navigation vehicle equipped with the navigation device is equipped with a hands-free connected to the mobile terminal and the navigation vehicle enters the service area of the base station to perform an initial registration operation for the base station that is in charge of the area where the mobile terminal is currently located. In accordance with the free radio wave environment measurement program, the radio wave condition is checked between the mobile terminal and the base station, and the current location information and the collected radio wave environment data by the navigation device are transmitted to the base station, and the base station is centrally controlled through the mobile communication network and the Internet.

As shown therein, a navigation vehicle 210, a hands free 212, a navigation device 214, a base station 220, a user 230, the Internet 240, a network linkage device ( It consists of a central control server 160 having an Inter Working Function (IWF) 250 and a propagation environment database 170.

Thus, in the related art, the hands-free 212 to which the mobile terminal 126 is connected to the navigation vehicle 210 having the navigation device 214 is mounted, and the navigation vehicle 210 enters into the service area of the base station 220, When the mobile terminal 126 performs an initial registration operation with respect to the base station 220 in which the mobile station 126 is currently located, the hands-free 212 propagates between the mobile terminal 126 and the base station 220 according to a radio wave environment measurement program. The environmental condition is checked and the current location information and the collected radio wave environment data by the navigation device 214 are transmitted to the base station 220, and the base station 220 is the central control server 160 via the mobile communication network and the Internet 240. Will be sent).

Then, the central control server 160 stores and manages the received radio wave environment information in the radio wave environment database 170.

Thereafter, the user 230 can remotely access the central control server 160 through the Internet 240 to check the radio wave environment of the region he wants to receive the service.

The navigation vehicle 210 is a vehicle such as a passenger car used by general users equipped with the navigation device 214. The navigation vehicle 210 is equipped with a hands-free 212 that allows the user to conveniently use the mobile terminal 126 for wireless communication while the user is driving.

The hands-free 212 is connected to the mobile terminal 126 as well as to the navigation device 214, and there is a built-in program for measuring the radio wave environment therein so as to check the radio wave environment of the mobile terminal 126 to determine the base station ( 220). At this time, the information of the mobile terminal 126 is transmitted along with the location information received by the navigation device 214.

The navigation device 214 receives location information from a GPS satellite and displays it on a map with map information capable of displaying a current location, and delivers location information to the hands-free 212.

The base station 220 is provided with a program capable of receiving a radio wave environment status signal from the navigation vehicle 210 and receives the position coordinates and the radio wave environment data of the mobile terminal 126 using a traffic channel to the mobile communication switching center 150. To pass.

The user 230 is a general user who accesses the central control server 160 via the Internet 240 using his personal computer and obtains information on the radio wave environment of the region in which he / she wants to receive mobile communication service. . The Internet 240 is a global communication network that provides a communication network to enable data transmission and reception between remote terminals.

IWF 250 provides a function for allowing a mobile communication network to connect to the Internet 240.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of collecting a real-time communication propagation environment in a conventional mobile communication system.

First, in a state in which a hands-free 212 having a mobile terminal 126 connected to a navigation vehicle 210 equipped with a navigation device 214 is provided, a user manages the navigation vehicle 210 by the base station 220. It is assumed that the process is located in the service area.

Thus, when the user turns on the power of the mobile terminal 126, the control unit 432 of the mobile terminal 126 receives a broadcasting control channel (BCCH) from the base station 220 and receives A / D (Analog to Based on the level of each demodulation signal inputted to the digital conversion (CDMA) converter, the base station 220 to which it belongs is identified, and the baseband processor and demodulation information of the subscriber is transmitted according to the Link Access Protocol on D-channel protocol. The registration procedure is performed by transmitting its information to the corresponding base station 220 through the unit.

When the base station 220 receives the terminal information from the mobile terminal 126, the base station controller 140 transmits the terminal information to the base station controller 140. The base station controller 140 transmits the terminal information to the authentication center via the mobile communication switching center 150. As a result, the registration status of whether the mobile terminal 126 is legally registered is confirmed.

Here, when the controller of the base station 220 receives a signal indicating that the mobile terminal 126 is normally registered from the base station controller 140 and an encryption code that can be used by the terminal, the control unit of the base station 220 receives the corresponding mobile terminal 126. Is registered in the enabled state (ST1).

Then, when a call request is received from the mobile terminal 126, the call control is executed accordingly, and when a signal below a predetermined level is input from the A / D converter, it is reported to the base station controller 140, and the base station controller 140 When the signal for handover is received from the C-S terminal, a signal is sent to the terminal to perform the handover operation.

Meanwhile, the hands-free 212 connected to the mobile terminal 126 detects a registration operation of the mobile terminal 126 (ST2). The sensing operation may be detected by a change in the amount of power of the mobile terminal 126 or an operation of recognizing transmission and reception of data through a broadcast channel.

When the registration operation of the mobile terminal 126 is detected with respect to the base station 220, the controller of the hands-free 212 drives the radio wave environment measurement program in the radio wave environment measurement program unit (ST3).

The hands-free 212 performs a location information request for notifying the current location of the navigation device 214 connected to the navigation connection unit 350 (ST4).

The navigation device 214 calculates the current position coordinate value by calculating the coordinate values of the longitude and latitude received from the GPS satellite, and transmits the current position coordinate value to the hands-free 212.

When the hands-free 212 receives the location information data from the navigation device 214 (ST10), the hands-free 212 stores the received location information data in the memory (ST6).

Subsequently, the controller of the hands-free 212 checks the radio wave environment state between the mobile terminal 126 and the base station 220 (ST7). That is, the state of the received signal level, radio frequency (RF) energy, frame error rate (Frame Error Rate), vocoder rate, pilot power, and the like are checked.

The controller of the hands-free 212 reads the current positional information data from the memory and sends it to the base station 220 together with the radio wave environment check data (ST8).

When the radio wave environment check data is received, the base station 220 transmits the radio wave environment check data to the base station controller 140 according to the radio wave environment program stored in the program memory. The base station controller 140 transmits to the central control server 160 (ST9).

Then, the central control server 160 stores the received radio wave environment check data in the radio wave environment database 170 (ST10).

In this process, the navigation vehicle 210 operating nationwide transmits various kinds of radio wave environment information when the mobile terminal 126 is in a call to the central control server 160 along with the location information in real time, thereby real-time propagation environment at any time. Can be collected. The central control server 160 stores and manages the collected radio wave environment check data in a radio wave environment database.

However, this conventional technology has the following problems.

First, there is a problem in that separate equipment such as a vehicle / GPS satellite / hands free is required in addition to a mobile terminal to collect measured values.

Second, there was a disadvantage in that an arbitrary number of people and effort were put in to correct the statistics.

Third, there was a problem that the data that can be collected is limited in the radio environment.
