Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for providing intelligent wireless access systems. A cellular microcell architecture is provided wherein a digital switch and controller are provided in conjunction with a number of intelligent radio ports.

Directed calls within the micro cell however do not access the traditional public macrocell. This architecture allows the microcell to be easily integrated into an existing wired system in such a way that the calls directed to the wired system are simultaneously sent to a cell phone (thus ringing the bell on both telephones using a single telephone number). If the call is answered by the cellular telephone within the confines of the microcell (ie by a smart radio port instead of a conventional wireless base station), the call is handled as a wired call and the type of telephone used when answering the call in transparent the subscriber who

Description

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING INTELLIGENT WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEMS Background of the Invention This invention relates to the transmission of wireless communications (for example cellular). More particularly, this invention relates to systems and methods for providing integrated wired and wireless base telecommunications and for extending public wireless service (e.g. cellular / PCS) in business facilities. Telephony systems are traditionally wired or wireless based. Wire-based systems are traditionally formed by having telephones coupled to a switch (for example in a PBX system or central PBX) and that switch is connected to the central switchboard exchange ("LEC") and then to external world. When an incoming call is made to the business from the outside world, the call goes from the LEC switches and through the PBX system to the recipient, with the PBX system providing the proper signaling (for example, double call or ring to signify an external call). Wireless systems are now often cellular systems, although wireless systems can also include older two-way mobile communications systems: REF: 25369 (which typically require a simple powerful large transmitter to cover a specific geographic area). Cellular systems commonly include a series of small base stations that define small individual cells within the geographic area covered by a wireless service provider. Each of the base stations are regulated by a base station controller and in turn by a switchboard centrally known as a mobile switching center ("MSC" = Mobile Switching Center) that provides the necessary switching functions in such a way that Calls are properly transferred when an individual passes from one base station to another during an active call. The MSC also includes one or more interfaces to the wire-based telephony system "which is known as the public switched telephone network (PSTN = a Public Switching Telephone Network). Calls between the cellular system and the PSTN are controlled as cellular calls and the cell phone owner is billed for the call regardless of whether the owner originated the call (against wire calls where the originator always pays). When an individual or company wishes to add cellular service, they contact a wireless service provider that provides a service that is essentially separate and distinct from the existing wire-based service. In this way, if an office with an existing PBX system wants to add cellular service, they simply acquire a cell phone number and subscribe for a number of cell phone numbers. Inbound calls to the wired base system in the business facility environment are routed through the PBX system to the recipient and billed to the calling party (unless the call is a 1-800 call in which case the recipient pays ). Incoming calls to a cell phone number are directed by the MSC of wireless service providers to the appropriate cell phone and the cell phone is billed for the airtime portion of the call. Whereas every individual who has a cell phone has a wire-based telephone on his or her desk, those individuals now have two different telephone numbers to track. If any of those people also have a personal cell phone, a third phone number contributes to the confusion. Additional problems occur when a call is addressed to a user who has both a wireline telephone and a cell phone and the user is nearby, but not directly on the wireline site. Under these circumstances, no one would respond to the wire call and the calling party would then have to send a more expensive wireless call to contact the user.

It would therefore be desirable to provide systems and methods for integrating wired-based telephone systems with wireless telephone systems in the business facilities environment, so that the incoming calls are made to a single number for both wired and wireless services. wireless Additionally, it would be convenient to provide systems and methods for integrating wired telephone systems with wireless telephone systems in the business facilities environment, such that any telephone system can still be operated as an independent identity in the case of an interruption of services. in the other telephone system. It would also be convenient to provide systems and methods that allow a user to easily integrate the wireless service into an existing wired base system. It would also be convenient to provide systems and methods for providing wireless telephone service to clients with wired systems, so that wireless calls are treated as wired calls (e.g. as a wireless telephone call) when the recipient is located in close proximity to the customer. wired phone.

It would also be convenient to provide wireless systems and methods where wireless calls directed within a predetermined area are loaded in the same way as wire calls. COMPENDIUM OF THE INVENTION The foregoing and other objects of the invention are fulfilled by the present invention, wherein wireless services are seamlessly integrated with wireline services in business facilities environments. The present invention provides that incoming calls addressed to a given telephone number can be answered either by a cordless telephone or a wireline telephone, depending on the location of the called party, without the called party knowing the method used to answer the call . The wireless service is provided in existing environments by establishing one or more micro cells that provide cellular coverage within the client's facilities. The raicrocellular system is coupled to both the standard macrocell system (it is the primary cellular system of the wireless service provider) and the wired base system through an intelligent radio port interface ("IRP = Intelligent Radio Port"). is connected to a digital switch through a basic tariff ("ISDN / BRI" = basic rate interface) integrated services digital network ("ISDN" = Integrated Services Digital network) that provide two voice channels and one data channel ("2B + D") The digital switch connects a controller that can be located at the customer's facilities or at the service provider's central office.The controller regulates the transmission and reception of calls to the IRP subtended cell phones and also provides the signaling interfaces between the microcell system and the standard macro system of the wireless service provider to manage the region subscriber, authentication and service characteristics applications. The digital switch can also be connected to a LEC through digital trunk interfaces. Additional advantages of the present invention can be achieved by handling calls within the microcell system in the same way as wire calls. For example, a business that has an existing wired telephone system wishes to use wireless technology without incurring the expense and complexity of having to upgrade its existing system. The wireless systems and methods of the present invention provide that business with one or more microcells as needed, to provide coverage within the business environment. The microcells are coupled together by a controller that operates in such a way that calls directed within the microcells are treated as if someone had simply marked an extension using the wired system. Calls directed from the wired system to cellular telephones within the microcells are treated in the same way, for example by only requiring the dialing of an extension for internal calls. The marked extension calls two telephones instead of only one; the wired desk phone and the cell phone for the called individual. As soon as either of the two telephones is answered, the bell or bell stops ringing on the other telephone. If the cell phone is answered, the IRP controller knows that the call came through the IRP and handles the call appropriately. Calls routed through the microcell system when dialing wired telephone directory numbers can be treated as if they were wired calls (for example without airtime charges). Calls directed through the microcell when dialing the mobile identification number ("MIN" = Mobile Identification Number) can still be treated as wireless calls and handled differently (for example when charging for airtime). Therefore, all calls directed to the cell phone that are answered by IRP can be processed as wire calls.

PBT DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The present invention provides intelligent wireless access by providing a wireless system based on microcells that can be easily integrated with an existing wired system, the PSTN and / or a standard macrocell wireless system. Figure 1 shows the microcell 100 as a self-contained wireless system that can be easily integrated into an existing telecommunications environment such as a standard PBX system in an office. The microcell 100 includes a digital switch 102, IRP controller 104 and IRPs 106-112 (while only four (4) IRPs are illustrated, persons skilled in the art will appreciate that any number of IRPs can be employed, depending on the physical size of the system of microcells). Also shown in Figure 1 are cellular telephones 114, 116 and 118, macrocell system 120 (i.e. wireless service provider), client switch 122 and PSTN 124. Interconnections between digital switch 102, client switch 122 and PSTN 124 are illustrated in dotted lines to indicate the various options as set forth in more detail below, which may be employed in accordance with the present invention. The digital switch 102 is preferably a self-supporting programmable ISDN switch supporting a basic ISDN / BRI rate interface ("ISDN / BRI"). ISDN / BRI provide two 64 kbps B channels and a 16 kbps channel, ISDN / digital interface. primary rate ("ISDN / PRI") ISDN / PRI provide twenty three 64 kbps B channels and one 16 kbps channel (and a standard "tip / ring" interface). The digital switch 102 provides local switching for IRPs, all switching and transport of incoming and outgoing calls to the macrocell 120 (in conjunction with the IRP controller 104) and the ability to integrate the microcell 100 with the client switch 122. In one preferred modality, the digital switch 102 handles communications between each of the IRPs 106-112 and the IRP controller 104 by the user-to-user application layer protocol X.25 channel D ISDN / BRI (or peer-to-peer). The connection between the digital switch 102 and the client switch 122 (which for example can be a PBX system) can be a standard IT trunk or an analog subscriber loop interface such that the wired telephone and its associated cell phone are simultaneously called. an income call The IRP controller 104 provides the control and core communication functions through the open standard interfaces (e.g. ISDN / BRI) within the microcell 100. For example, the controller 104 interacts with the network of wireless service providers to provide operations registration, authentication and subscriber call routing. In this way, the switching and transport operations of the digital switch 102 are performed based on commands received from the IRP controller 104, in such a way that mobility is maintained between the private network (microcell 100) and the public network (macrocell 120) . The IRP controller 104 maintains a visitor location register ("VLR") for registration and authentication as well as interconnecting with the initial or home location register of the macrocell 120 ("HLR") via an SS7 / IS-41 interface to support the management of mobility and assist the IRP's in call processing. Additionally, the controller 104 coordinates the information between IRP's and the wireless service provider to support the billing process as described more fully below. IRPs 106-112 are intelligent radio ports that provide standard wireless functions within the microcell environment. Each IRP is considered a small self-contained plug-and-play base station that supports one or more RF carriers, each having at least two digital traffic channels and one digital control channel to provide voice services. An additional digital control channel must also be provided for signaling communications between the IRP and other wireless terminals. Each of the IRPs 106-112 is connected to the digital switch 102 via an SDN interface such as ISDN / BRI. The IRPs provide the standard air interface control functions, including the terminal transfer and registration functions necessary for mobile calls.

Cell phones 114, 116 and 118 are standard cell phones that can operate with either 100 microcells or 120 macrocells, depending on the location of the cell phone when a call is received. People skilled in the art will appreciate that cell phones described herein may also be standard radiolocation devices or their combinations. If the cell phone is within the physical proximity of one of the IRPs and the IRP answers the call, then in accordance with the principles of the present invention, the call is processed in the same way as a wire call. Of course, if a standard cellular station answers the call, then the call is simply processed as a cellular call and the called party is billed for airtime, etc. Once the cell phone is activated (and considering that the cell phone is located within the reception area of an IRP), the cell phone initiates a registration and authentication procedure that is achieved in conjunction with the responding IRP and the controller IRP 104 as illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 2 shows a flow chart of a preferred method for achieving registration and authentication of cell phones that are activated while they are located within the reception area of a microcell IRP. Once activated, the cell phone transmits an application for registration to the IRP in step 202. The IRP verifies the registration request when accessing the IRP's visitor database in step 204. In a step 206, a test is performed to determine if the cell phone user profile exists in the IRP visitor database. If the user profile exists, an acknowledgment is sent to the cell phone in a step 216, otherwise in a step 208, the IRP sends the request to the IRP controller 104. The IRP controller 104 performs a similar test in a step 210 to determine if the cell phone user profile is in your visitor database. If the profile exists, the cell phone is currently registered within the microcell 100 but registered in another IRP. Therefore, the controller 104 in a step 214 deactivates the telephone registration from his present IRP and registers the cellular telephone to the requesting IRP. If the user profile does not exist in the controller database, the controller 104 in step 212 requests the user profile of the wireless service provider. If the user profile does not exist in a wireless service provider, the registration request is rejected in a step 218. Once the cellular phone is registered in the requesting IRP (and registration is disabled elsewhere) the IRP Applicant in a step 216 sends an acknowledgment to the cell phone and the calls can be processed.

Figure 3 shows a flowchart of a preferred method for processing calls between two cellular telephones within microcell 100. Processing begins at a step 302 when the extension of the called telephone is dialed into the calling telephone, which causes it to be send a call request to the IRP of the calling phone. In a step 304, the calling IRP receives the call request and initiates a route request to the controller 104. The controller 104 in a step 306 determines the mobile identification number ("MIN") of the called cell phone (based on the marked extension and the last IRP recorded for the called cell phone (and send the MIN to the calling IRP.) The calling IRP initiates the ISDN call configuration via the digital switch 102 and transmits the MIN to the called IRP in a step 308. In a step 310, the called IRP receives the MIN and initiates radiolocation procedures between the called IRP and the called cellular phone The called cellular telephone recognizes the IRP in a step 312. After receiving the acknowledgment, the called IPR in a step 314 Assigns a traffic channel for the call Once the traffic channel is assigned, the cellular telephone called in a step 316 completes the call Because the call is processed completely from In addition to the microcell 100, the macrocell 120 is not involved and there are no airtime charges to the consumer.

Figure 4 shows a flowchart of a preferred method for processing incoming calls to a telecommunications system having a client switch and a microcell such as the system illustrated in Figure 1. Under these circumstances, the connection illustrated between the digital switch 102 and PSTN 124 will not exist, but the connection between the digital switch 102 and the client switch 122 and the connection between the client switch 122 and PSTN 124 will exist (in this way, incoming calls from the "outer wired world"). ", all arrive through the client switch 122). Persons of skill in the art will appreciate that client switch 122 is not required in which case the connection between digital switch 102 and PSTN 124 will provide microcell 100 with access to incoming wire calls. Input call processing begins at a step 402 when the client switch 122 receives an incoming call. As described above, the client switch 122 is preferably a PBX system, but any conventional system or switch can be used as a client switch 122 provided that the client switch 122 can process telephone calls. In a step 404, the client switch 122 switches the incoming call to the extension corresponding to the dialed number and also switches the call to the associated bridge is the digital switch 102. The digital switch bridge 102 is a bridge that functions to transfer all incoming calls and associated extensions (i.e. the extension corresponding to the dialed number) to digital switch 102. IRP controller 104, which verifies digital switch 102, detects the ring tone associated with the incoming call and receives the associated extension in a step 406. The controller 104 determines the MIN and the registered IRP corresponding to the associated extension in a step 408. In a step 410, the controller 104 directs the incoming call from the digital switch 102 to the registered IRP , the IRP registered in a step 412, receives the call request and initiates a radiolocation process to the cell phone itself based on the information MIN The cell phone called, in a step 414 sends an acknowledgment to the IRP. After receiving the acknowledgment, the IRP allocates the traffic channel for a call in step 416. Once the traffic channel is assigned, the cellular telephone called in a step 418 completes the call. Once the call is answered either by the wired desk phone, or the associated cell phone, ringing the door stops on the other telephone. In this way, the type of telephone used to answer the call is transparent to the calling telephone subscriber, who only needs to know a single telephone number to dial a party. A further advantage of the present invention is the fact that the microcell system can be easily integrated into existing digital telephone systems. All that is required is a simple change of programming, so that all incoming calls are sent to a second number simultaneously with the sending of the associated desktop extension to the telephone. The second number corresponds to the digital switch that, in cooperation with the IRP controller, determines which cell phone, if any, the call will have to address. If the incoming call is answered by a cellular phone within the confines of the microcell system, the call is treated the same as a wire call, and the calling party is billed for a wire-based telephone time (no billing) for airtime required because the macro cell is not involved). Figure 5 shows a flow diagram of a preferred method for transferring calls between IRPs within the microcell 100. During active cell phone calls, the IRP constantly verifies neighbor signal strength measurements received from the associated cell phone, in a step 502. When detecting a transfer condition, based on the neighbor signal intensity measurement, the called IRP, in a step 504 initiates transfer request to the digital switch 102, preferably by means of the channel signal D of ISDN. The transfer request is sent to the new IRP in a step 506, which initiates a connection to the digital switch 112 in preparation for the incoming cell phone signal. In a step 508, the new IRP sends the old IRP a response to the transfer request containing the new RF channel and time slot to which the cellular telephone is to be switched. Once the cell phone transmits the new RF signal, the new IRP in a step 510 sends a mobile channel signal on to the old IRP. Upon receipt of the powered mobile channel signal, the old IRP sends a fast transfer request to the IRP controller 104 in a step 512. The controller 104 directs the digital switch 102 to switch the connection between the IRPs in a step 514. Once the digital switch 112 has completed the switching between the IRPs, the controller 104 in a step 516 issues a termination command to the old IRP. The old IRP in a step 518 disconnects the bearer channel. The transfer process is very complete. In this way, mobile calls within private microcell systems are transferred without involving the public macro cell system. In this way, systems and techniques to provide intelligent wireless access are presented. Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be practiced by different modalities than the embodiments described, which are presented for purposes of illustration and not limitation and the present invention is limited only by the claims that follow. It is noted that in relation to this date, the best method known to the applicant to carry out the aforementioned invention, is that which is clear from the present description of the invention.
