The present invention relates to a method and system for implementing a PTT service using SIP and SDB in a mobile communication data network. More specifically, in the SIP-based PTT service system of the CDMA 2000 mobile data network, PTT service using SIP and SDB that efficiently provides PTT service by reducing call setup time for PTT origination and PTT reception using SDB It relates to a method and a system.

BACKGROUND With the rapid development of computer, electronic and communication technologies, various wireless communication services using a wireless telecommunication network have been provided. The most basic wireless communication service is a wireless voice call service that provides voice calls wirelessly between users of communication terminals regardless of time and place.

Among the various types of wireless voice call services, the common carrier radio frequency (TRS: Trunked Radio System, hereinafter referred to as 'TRS') supports one-to-many group communication by eliminating the existing one-to-one wireless communication. It is effectively and conveniently used in military and government agencies. In addition, the TRS has been used in various ways due to the feature that a conversation can be performed only by pressing a button provided in the TRS terminal, without having to go through a dial operation.

In addition, with the development of a wireless communication network, a wireless Internet service has emerged, in which a user of a communication terminal provides a communication service similar to a service provided by the Internet through a wireless communication network. Accordingly, the wireless communication subscriber can receive information necessary for life, such as news, weather, sports, securities, exchange rate, traffic information, etc. in various forms such as text, voice, image, and video through wireless Internet service. have. In particular, the instant messenger service, which has been recently implemented on a wired internet network, that is, a web application, is also provided through a wireless communication network. IM (Instant Messenger, hereinafter referred to as 'IM') is a service that provides convenience to users in that they can make instant communication with the status information of friends and organization members registered on the messenger. It also includes the features of group calls, where multiple members can talk simultaneously.

Recently, a push-to-talk (PTT) service, which combines TRS and IM service, which has characteristics of immediate connectivity, speed, and group call, has emerged. PTT service has the advantage of low installation cost because it can utilize mobile communication data networks such as CDMA 1x network and EV-DO network without establishing a new dedicated network.

In addition, the TRS is limited in the group member setting and the presence information can not be confirmed, but the PTT has an advantage that the presence information can be viewed visually because the IM technology is also incorporated. In addition, the IM is inconvenient to input a text-type character for the simultaneous conversation of several members, but PTT can be easily used in the wireless messenger service compared to the IM because it can communicate using voice in addition to the text.

However, the current PTT service takes 8 to 15 seconds on average for a call and an average of 2 seconds or more when talking to each other. Many complaints from subscribers have been raised.

In addition, in describing the present invention, when it is determined that the detailed description of the related well-known configuration or function may obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a configuration diagram briefly showing a PTT service providing system using SIP and SDB according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the PTT service providing system using the SIP and the SDB according to the present invention, the originating terminal 110, the mobile communication network (120, 190), the packet data service node (130, 180), the SIP server 140, the presence server 150 , The PTT server 160, the MRC 170, and the receiving terminal 200 are configured.

The originating terminal 110 is a terminal capable of making a call through the mobile communication network 120 and automatically performing a session establishment procedure and transmitting packet data according to a session establishment request from the mobile communication network 120. The originating terminal 110 transmits a PTT request for call setup to the PTT server 160 using a short data burst (SDB) of an access channel. The access channel is a channel used to transmit an origination signal and a registration signal. The access channel has a low data rate for the stability of the radio channel. Here, SDB refers to an IP packet included in a DBM field of an access channel and transmitted to a data network.

In addition, the calling terminal 110 should be a PTT terminal for receiving a PTT service, and a SIP terminal for using a SIP method.

The mobile communication network 120, 190 includes a base station transmitter 122, 192 and a base station controller 124, 194. The mobile communication network 120, 190 transmits an outgoing request signal from the originating terminal 110 to the SIP server 140. It receives a message and data from the server 140 and transmits it to the called terminal 200.

A packet data service node (PDSN) (hereinafter referred to as PDSN) (130, 180) processes the packet data between the mobile communication network (120, 190) and the SIP server 140, the originating terminal 110 And the receiving terminal 200 enables the connection to the PTT server 160 via the SIP server 140. When the user receives data while moving, the PDSN (130, 180) provides a mobility management function so that the mobile terminal (110, 200) can be provided with the Internet data service without changing the IP address.

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server 140 performs a function of providing a mobile communication service such as audio, video, etc. using the SIP protocol. Here, SIP is a simple text-based application layer control protocol, which is a signaling protocol for Internet video conferencing, Internet telephony, and the like. SIP is a client / server protocol, unlike H.323. In addition, the SIP server 140 processes a standard SIP message and a binary SIP message received from the terminal 110 or 200 or the PTT server 160 to convert each other. In addition, when an incoming or outgoing call is made using a binary SIP message, a 200 OK signal or an ACK is transmitted to the terminal 110 or 200 or the PTT server 160.

The presence server 150 is a server that manages the presence information of PTT service subscribers and a list of friends and groups. The presence information indicates a change in the status of the PTT service subscriber, and the PTT subscriber may display his / her status as offline, online, busy, away, in a meeting, or while eating. In addition, the PTT service subscriber may access the presence server 150 and check the status information of another subscriber using the calling terminal 110 or the called terminal 200.

The PTT server 160 manages PTT group sessions and manages voice in group members. In addition, it may be connected to a PTT database (not shown) for managing group member information or may include a PTT database therein. When a selective call or a group call request signal from the calling terminal 110 is transmitted to the PTT server 160, the PTT server 160 calls a corresponding call member and receives a response signal from each member to receive the calling terminal ( 110) to inform the result of participation of the member.

The media resource controller (MRC) 170 is responsible for copying the caller's voice and transmitting it to other members of the PTT call during the selective or group call. In order to transmit the voice data of the caller transmitted to the PTT server 160 to each member, that is, the caller, the voice data of the number of members participating in the PTT call must be duplicated. Therefore, the voice data of the caller transmitted to the PTT server 160 is replicated in the MRC 170 and transmitted to each called party through the PTT server 160 again.

Like the calling terminal 110, the receiving terminal 200 can make a call through the mobile communication network 190, and automatically performs a session setting procedure and transmits packet data according to a session setting request from the mobile communication network 190. Is a PTT terminal and a SIP terminal.

The PTT service system using the SIP and the SDB configured as described above provides a selective call in which a call is made with some members by a user's selection among the members, and a group call in which a call is made with the whole member.

The margin inserter 310 is denoted by 'F', which is a 'Padding Bit'. Padding Bit is a bit that fills the empty space, and can be used as either '0' or '1'. Here, the margin inserter 310 may be filled with identifiers of other conditions for distinguishing binary messages according to a setting.

3B is a structure of Binary Invite, 1) shows the structure of Binary Invite message transmitted from the terminals 110 and 200 to the SIP server 140, and 2) is from the SIP server 140 to the terminals 110 and 200. Represents the structure of a binary Invite message.

Binary Invite is composed of BMI, caller's phone number display 312, recipient's phone number display 314, From_Tag display 316, To_Tag display 318, Via_Branch display 320 and Call-ID display 322. .

The BMI unit is set to '1110001F' in 1) by the method described in 3A above. This is an Invite message transmitted from the terminals 110 and 200 to the SIP server 140, which has a binary structure, and is used for a selective call.

The caller phone number display unit 312 is a part for displaying the caller's phone number, and is composed of 4.5 bytes, or 36 bits. Since 4 bits are required to display a single digit phone number, the Binary Invite message according to the present invention can display a 9 digit phone number. Currently, the number of digits of a communication terminal telephone number commonly used in Korea is 11 digits, and in the present invention, in consideration of being composed of '01x-xxxx-xxxx', the present invention is composed of 9 digits except the preceding two digits '01'. However, in implementing the present invention, it is possible to adjust the number of bits of the calling party telephone number display 312.

The BMI part of 3B to 2) is set to '1110101F' by the method described above, and is an Invite message transmitted from the SIP server 140 to the terminals 110 and 200 in a binary structure, indicating that it is used for a selective call. do. Parts other than the BMI part are the same as the rest of 1) transmitted from the terminals 110 and 200 to the SIP server 140.

3C is a Binary 200 OK signal, and the BMI unit is set to '1110011F' to indicate that the 200 OK signal transmitted from the terminals 110 and 200 having the binary structure to the SIP server 140 is used for a selective call. .

4 is a structural diagram illustrating a structure of a binary message transmitted for a group call in a PTT service using SIP and SDB according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The binary message structure used for group calls is similar to the binary message structure used for select calls.

4A shows the Binary Invite message structure used in group currency. Here, 1) shows the structure of the message transmitted from the terminals 110 and 200 to the SIP server 140, and 2) shows the structure of the message transmitted from the SIP server 140 to the terminals 110 and 200.

In 1), the BMI unit is denoted by '1110000F', which indicates that the BMI unit is an Invite signal transmitted from the terminals 110 and 200 to the SIP server 140 having a binary structure and is used for a group call. Behind the BMI is a caller's telephone number display section 212, which occupies 36 bits.

After the caller's telephone number display section 312, a four-bit margin 402 consisting of 'FFFF' is located. The margin portion 402 is represented by 'F' in the same manner as the margin insertion portion 310 described above. This part may be used as either a '0' or a '1' as a margin bit for classifying the caller's telephone number display unit 312 and the group ID in the binary invite message. Here, the margin part 402 may be deleted or replaced with another part according to a setting.

The group ID display unit 404 is set to 16 bits and is a part where the ID of the reception group is set. Using the screening method described above to set all the members of the group as the destination, the long data of 36 bits must be transmitted as the number of members, which can cause traffic on the network at the time of call and consumes a lot of resources. The network is less efficient. However, according to the present invention, if the group ID is transmitted and the telephone number of the group member is transmitted from the PTT server 150, the efficiency of the network is increased. Therefore, the Binary Invite message uses the group ID display unit 404 during a group call.

The From_Tag display unit, the To_Tag display unit, the Via_Bra display unit, and the Call-ID display unit after the group ID display unit 404 are the same as those described above with reference to FIG. 2.

The BMI part in 2) of 4A is denoted by '1110100F', and indicates that the BMI part, which has a binary structure, is an Invite signal transmitted from the SIP server 140 to the terminals 110 and 200 and used for a group call.

The calling terminal 110 uses a message having the above-described structure in order to transmit a call request signal to the receiving terminal 200 through a PTT service providing system using SIP and SDB. In the process of transmitting the call request signal from the calling terminal 110, there is a need for a method of minimizing call setup time to ensure promptness and immediate connectivity, which are advantages of the PTT service.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a call setup method between a calling terminal and a PTT server in a selective call in a PTT service using SIP and SDB according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The caller uses the calling terminal 110 to select the conversation partners to call. The calling terminal 110 constructs a binary INVITE message to call the first selected receiving terminal 200 and requests a PTT service using the SDB of the access channel. At this time, the calling terminal 110 establishes a traffic channel with the mobile communication network 120 (S502).

The binary INVITE message transmitted to the mobile communication network is transmitted to the SIP server 140 via the PDSN 130 (S504).

The SIP server 140 converts the transmitted binary INVITE message into a SIP INVITE message (S506), and transmits a SIP INVITE message to the PTT server 160. The PTT server 160 requests the MRC 170 to occupy the media resource for the calling terminal 110 through the SIP INVITE message (S508).

The MRC 170 occupies a resource for the calling terminal 110 and then transmits a 200 OK message to the PTT server 160. The PTT server 160 receiving the 200 OK message transmits the 200 OK message to the calling terminal 110 through the PDSN 130 and the mobile communication network 120 using the traffic channel (S510).

The calling terminal 110 transmits the SIP ACK signal for the 200 OK message to the PTT server 160, and the PTT server 160 transmits back to the MRC 170 (S512). In addition, the originating terminal 110 transmits the information on the remaining receiving terminals to the PTT call to the PTT server 160 using the SIP INFO message (S514).

The PTT server 160 calls subscribers who want to make a PTT call using the receiving terminal information transmitted from the calling terminal 110 (S516). The procedure of calling the receiver terminal 200 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6.

The PTT server 160 notifies the calling terminal 110 of the fact that the receiving terminals participate in the PTT call when the response from the receiving terminal 200 that wants the PTT call is transmitted (S518).

The calling terminal 110 notified of the participation of the PTT selective call member transmits a 200 OK signal to the PTT server 160, and accordingly, a call setup procedure for the PTT selective call is completed (S520).

In the above call processing, when the originating terminal 110 is in the dormant state (Dormant), the procedure using the SDB is performed, but when the originating terminal 110 is in the active state (Standard) is set to perform a standard SIP procedure .

6 is a flowchart illustrating a call setup method between a PTT server and a receiving terminal in a selective call in a PTT service using SIP and SDB according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In step S514 of FIG. 5, the PTT server 160 which has received the reception terminal information of the members who want the PTT selective call from the originating terminal 110 calls the receiving terminal 200 of each member.

First, the PTT server 160 transmits a SIP Subscribe message requesting the status information of the member to the presence server 150 (S602).

The presence server 150 receiving member status information from the PTT server 160 transmits a 200 OK signal, which is a response signal, to the PTT server 160 (S604), and simultaneously transmits status information of the requested member as SIP Notify. (S606).

When the status information of the member is transmitted, the PTT server 160 transmits a 200 OK signal to the presence server 150 (S608), and sends a SIP INVITE message for calling the receiving terminal 200 to the SIP server 150. It transmits (S610).

The SIP server 150 converts the delivered SIP INVITE message into Binary INVITE (S612), and transmits the converted Binary INVITE message to the mobile communication network 190 through the PDSN 180 (S614). The mobile communication network 190 transmits a binary INVITE message to the receiving terminal 200 using the SDB of the paging channel (S616), and the receiving terminal 200 transmits a binary 200 OK response signal using the SDB of the access channel. Transmit to 190. At the same time, the receiving terminal 200 establishes a traffic channel with the mobile communication network 190 (S618).

The mobile communication network 190 transmits a Binary 200 OK signal to the SIP server 140 via the PDSN 180 (S620), and the SIP server 140 converts it to a SIP 200 OK signal (S622), and the PTT server. And transmits to 160 (S624).

The PTT server 160 transmits a SIP INVITE message to the MRC 170 to occupy the media resource for the receiving terminal 200 (S626), and the MRC 170 occupies the media resource of the receiving terminal 200. In step S628, the PTT server 160 transmits 200 OK.

The PTT server 160 notified of the resource occupancy transmits the SIP ACK to the receiving terminal 200 through the PDSN 180 and the mobile communication network 190 using the traffic channel (S630), and also the SIP ACK to the MRC 170. It is transmitted (S632).

The call setup between the PTT server 160 and the receiving terminal 200 is made at the receiving terminal 200 of several subscribers at the same time, thereby reducing the call setup time for the receiving terminal call.

When the receiving terminal call of the selected call members is completed through the above process, the calling terminal 110 is notified of the participation of the receiving terminals in step S518 of FIG. 5.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a call setup method between a calling terminal and a PTT server in a group call in a PTT service using SIP and SDB according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The caller selects a group to be called using the calling terminal 110. The calling terminal 110 constructs a binary INVITE message to call the receiving terminal 200 and requests a PTT service using the SDB of the access channel. At this time, the calling terminal 110 establishes a traffic channel with the mobile communication network 120 (S702).

The binary INVITE message transmitted to the mobile communication network is transmitted to the SIP server 140 via the PDSN 130 (S704).
