The present invention relates to the opening of a wireless subscriber network (WLL) terminal, and in particular, when entering a wrong unique number (ID) or a unique number in use at the time of new terminal opening, any system that is not in use by checking in the system It relates to assigning a unique number.

A wireless subscriber network (WLL) terminal is a number assigned to each terminal, and records and stores an International WLL Equipment Identity (IWEI) number in a corresponding memory. The IWEI is a device serial number and a serial number. Similarly, it is the same as what is called an electronic serial number (ESN) in a PCS terminal of a cellular mobile communication system, and is given by the terminal producer, and can be changed by a producer or a maintainer by a certain rule.

In addition, to confirm whether the WLL terminal is a legitimate terminal, to check the WLL Access Secret Key (WASK) number and the service type for each communication port (Port) of the terminal, WLL subscription identifier (WSI: WLL Subscription Identity) number, which identifies that you are currently affiliated with the receiving base station, and has a Location Area Identity (LAI) number, each of which is assigned to its assigned memory area. Save the record.

The base station or the central operating station of the wireless subscriber network system is a WLL user identifier (IWUI) that receives the above numbers from the terminal and acknowledges them, and a unique number for allowing the terminal to perform a communication service. Transmitting a temporary WLL user identifier (TWUI) or unique number (ID) to the terminal, each terminal can receive a communication service by receiving and recording the IWUI and TWUI number as described above through the base station Will be.

Hereinafter, a new unique number assignment method of a wireless subscriber network terminal according to the prior art will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Attached to explain the prior art, Figure 1 is a block diagram of a general wireless subscriber network system, Figure 2 is a flow chart of a new terminal unique number allocation method according to the prior art.

Referring to FIG. 1, the general wireless subscriber network system includes a central operating station 10 for managing, monitoring, and controlling the entire wireless subscriber network.

A base station 20 wirelessly transmitting and receiving to and from a terminal in a predetermined service area under a control of the central operating station 10;

It is composed of a plurality of terminals 30 which are wirelessly connected to the base station 20 to receive communication services.

In the wireless subscriber network system having the above configuration, the terminal 30 is registered in the corresponding database of the central operating station 10 and is provided with a communication service. Referring to FIG. In the terminal new unique number assignment method, the terminal 30 is newly installed at the request of the subscriber, the operator manually inputs the identifier (IWEI) of the device of the terminal 30, and enters the corresponding memory area of the terminal 30. A first step (S10) of recording and storing;

A second step (S20) of requesting subscription so that the newly installed terminal can be provided with a communication service by wirelessly transmitting the IWEI stored in the memory of the terminal 30 to the base station 20 by the step S10;

By the second step (S20), whether the central management station 10, the IWEI is authorized through the base station 20 is searched the database (DB), is recorded in the IWEI list allocated for the new subscription? Checking the third step (S30) and,                         

In the third step (S30), as a result of searching the database, if it is determined that the IWEI is not assigned for the new subscription or is already in use, the central management station (10) through the base station 20 A fourth step (S40) of transmitting a new non-subscription and subscription cancellation command signal to the terminal 30;

The terminal 30, which has received the non-subscription and subscribing command signal in the fourth step (S40), determines whether to continue the opening operation by the new subscription, and terminates if it does not continue. A fifth step S50 of feeding back to the first step S10,

If the IWEI authorized from the terminal 30 in the third step (S30) is allowed to new subscription, the central operating station 10 is a unique number (ID) for granting the subscription and communication services through the base station 20 It consists of a sixth step (S60) that proceeds to the end step after transmitting the TWUI means the terminal 30.

Hereinafter, a new unique number assignment method for a wireless subscriber network terminal according to the prior art having the above configuration will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When a new terminal is to be installed at the subscriber's or user's request, the operator or installer installs the new terminal at the place requested by the subscriber, and then enters the IWEI, a unique serial number, into the terminal. Save (S10).

As described above, the terminal in which the IWEI is input by the operator is registered in the wireless subscriber network (WLL) central operating station 10 and undergoes a subscription procedure in order to receive the corresponding communication service.

The subscription procedure is performed by wirelessly transmitting the IWEI from the terminal 30 to the base station 20, and the base station 20 applies the received IWEI to the central operating station 10 (S20).

The central operating station 10 searches the DB to check whether the IWEI is allowed to join a new subscription (S30), and if not, transmits a command signal to the terminal 30 to stop joining and attempting to join. (S40).

The terminal 30 having received the signal determines whether or not to restart the opening operation by the operator. If the opening operation is not continued again, the terminal 30 proceeds to the end, and if the opening operation is continued again, the first operation is performed. Returning to step S10 to input a new IWEI value (S50).

In the third step, if the new subscription is allowed in the IWEI, the central management station 10 transmits a signal to allow the subscription to the terminal and at the same time can be used as a registered unique number (ID) TWUI or new unique number (ID) is transmitted and ends (S60).

The terminal 30 receives the new unique number or the TWUI registered from the central operating station 10, thereby enabling the connection with the central operating station 10 using the new unique number TWUI, so that the communication service can be provided. do.

However, the IWEI inputted by the operator to the terminal 30 is mistakenly entered at the input stage, or is an IWEI used by another operator who inputs an existing IWEI or simultaneously works in another place. In this case, it is impossible to assign a new unique number TWUI by new registration of the terminal, and the operator spends time to determine the cause, and if the cause is confirmed, the existing IWEI stored in the corresponding terminal 30. There was a problem in that the step of deleting, and entering a new IWEI and repeating the step of assigning the new unique number (ID) or TWUI.

According to the technique of the present invention, if the serial number or IWEI inputted to the terminal is not allowed to be newly registered, the terminal is controlled to be kept in a synchronous state, and then the available IWEI is searched for and wirelessly transmitted. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for allocating a new unique number for a wireless subscriber network terminal that facilitates new subscription of a terminal by renewing and performing a new registration or subscription procedure again.

In order to provide the above method, the present invention provides a wireless subscriber network terminal, comprising: a first process of an operator manually inputting a device identifier into a newly installed terminal memory; A second process of making a subscription request by transmitting a device identifier, an access secret key, and a subscription identifier by the terminal to the base station; A third step of the central operating station searching the database to determine whether the authorized device identifier is a device identifier authorized for new subscription, and at the same time, determining whether the subscriber identifier is appropriate; A fourth step of transmitting a user identification unique number to the terminal together with a signal for granting the subscription by the central operating station if the device identifier is approved for new subscription and the subscription identifier is appropriate as determined in the third step; A fifth step of transmitting, by the central operating station, a signal forbidding subscription to the corresponding terminal and a command signal for prohibiting generation of a request for joining, if it is determined that the subscriber ID is not appropriate; The terminal is characterized in that it comprises a sixth process of performing the termination process after processing and storing the corresponding signal received from the central operating station.

Hereinafter, a new unique number allocation method of a wireless subscriber network terminal according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a flowchart for assigning a new unique number of a wireless subscriber network terminal according to the present invention.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, a new unique number assignment method for a wireless subscriber network (WLL) terminal according to the present invention, in the wireless subscriber network terminal, the operator manually in the newly installed terminal 30 memory device identifier A first process (S100) for inputting (IWEI),

The terminal 30 transmits the device identifier (IWEI), the access secret key (WASK), and the subscription identifier (WSI) stored in the memory to the base station 20 to request a subscription to the central operating station 10 for new registration. The second process (S110),

The Central Operating Station (10) searches the database (DB) to determine whether the authorized device identifier (IWEI) is an authorized device identifier (IWEI) and at the same time the subscriber identifier (WSI) A third step (S120) of determining whether it is appropriate;

If it is determined in the third step (S120) that the device identifier (IWEI) has been granted new subscription, and the subscriber identifier (WSI) is appropriate, the message signal for granting the subscription by the central operating station 10 and In addition, a fourth process (S130) for transmitting the user identification unique number (TWUI) to the terminal 30,

If it is determined in the third step (S120) that the subscriber identity (WSI) is not appropriate, the command to prohibit the regeneration of the message signal and subscription request signal that is not allowed to join the terminal 30 by the central operating station (10) A fifth process (S140) of transmitting a signal;

The terminal 30 is a sixth process (S150) for performing a termination process after processing and storing the corresponding signal received from the central operating station 10,

If it is determined in the third step (S120) that the device identifier (IWEI) is not granted new subscription, and the subscriber identifier (WSI) is appropriate, the device identifier that the new subscriber cannot be newly registered by the central operating station 10 is determined. A seventh process (S160) of waiting for the terminal 30 to be transmitted to the terminal 30;

The terminal 30 determines whether to retry the subscription for the new unique number assignment, and if it does not try again, feeds back to the sixth process S150 (S170), and

When the user tries to join again in the eighth process (S170), the central operating station 10 searches the corresponding database (DB), extracts a usable new device identifier (New IWEI), and retrieves the searched new. A ninth process S180 of transmitting a device identifier New IWEI to the corresponding terminal 30;

The terminal 30 that has received the new device identifier New IWEI by the process S180 updates the device identifier IWEI stored in the corresponding memory to the new device identifier New IWEI and performs the second process. It consists of a tenth step (S190) for feeding back to (S110).

Hereinafter, a method for allocating a new unique number for a wireless subscriber network terminal according to the present invention having the above configuration will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When installing a wireless subscriber network (WLL) terminal at the request of a user or subscriber, the operator or installer installs the terminal at a place requested by the subscriber and manually records and stores the serial number of the terminal in the corresponding memory. S100).

The WSI, WASK, etc., recorded and stored in the corresponding memory, are newly stored in the corresponding database (DB) of the central operating station 10 using the terminal 30 in which the IWEI is input by the operator as described above. When transmitting for registration or new subscription (S110), the central office 10 searches for the corresponding area of the database, and the IWEI is granted new subscription, so that it is not used by another WLL terminal 30. At the same time, it is determined whether the WSI is appropriate or not (S120).

In the third step (S120), if it is determined that the new subscription is granted IWEI and WSI is appropriate, the central control station 10 transmits a message for granting new subscription or new registration of the corresponding WLL terminal 30. At the same time, the terminal is used to receive a communication service to distinguish each terminal 30, and transmits a new unique number (ID) TWUI (S130),

The terminal receiving the TWUI, which is the new unique number, performs the necessary processing, records and stores the memory in the corresponding memory area (S150), and terminates the process of assigning the new unique number.

However, in the third step S120, when the central operating station 10 searches the database, among the various types of values received and input from the terminal 30, the WSI value is inappropriate. In addition, a message indicating that the terminal 30 is not allowed to be subscribed to the terminal 30 transmits a subscription request prohibition signal for controlling the transmission of a signal for requesting a new subscription to the terminal 30 (S140). Proceed to S150).

In addition, as a result of the central operating station 10 searching the database in the third step (S120), the WSI value is appropriate, and the IWEI value is already in use by another terminal, or is registered for new subscription by another operator. If it is used, i.e., duplicated IWEI, the central operating station 10 notifies the terminal that the IWEI cannot be newly registered with the corresponding control signal and message, so that the terminal 30 receiving the signal is synchronized with the central operating station. (Standby) is maintained while maintaining (Synchronous) (S160).

The operator checks the message displayed through the corresponding display unit on the terminal 30, determines whether to retry to continue the registration process for the new subscription registration of the terminal 30 (S170), and does not retry. In case of proceeding to the sixth step S150 and retrying, the corresponding database DB of the central operating station 10 is searched and allocated for new subscription or opening, and the new IWEI value available. Extract it and transmit it to the corresponding terminal 30 (S180).                     

The terminal 30 receiving a new device identifier (New IWEI) from the central operating station 10 deletes the existing IWEI value stored in the memory, updates the newly authorized New IWEI value, and updates the first IWEI value. By returning to step 2 (S110), the new subscription registration procedure is performed again.

Therefore, the operator who installs or installs the terminal 30 at the location required by the subscriber can check the database in the central operating station 10 and automatically use it even if an IWEI value of the terminal is mistakenly entered. By providing an IWEI value, a unique number TWUI can be assigned.

The present invention as described above, when registering a new subscription by the new installation of the wireless subscriber network terminal, even if the wrong IWEI serial number of the terminal is provided with the IWEI can be automatically used by the central operating station, communication service There is an effect that can be assigned a unique number to receive.

In addition, since the central operating station automatically checks the IWEI and receives a new IWEI, there is a use effect of shortening the time required for installing a new terminal and opening a new terminal.
