Detaljerad beskrivning av utföringsfonner av uppfinningg Uppfinningen avser huvudsakligen handover mellan lober utan att ändra kanal.Detailed Description of Embodiments of the Invention The invention relates generally to handover between lobes without changing channel.
Detta medför att mobilterrninalen kan röra sig inom en basstationsplats på samma kanal genom att använda skarvfri lobhandover. Handovern är skarvfri i betydelsen att den inte kan märkas av mobilanvändaren.This means that the mobile terminal can move within a base station location on the same channel by using splice-free lobe handover. The handover is joint-free in the sense that it cannot be felt by the mobile user.
Uppfinningen kommer nu att beskrivas med hänvisning till figurerna 2 - 10.The invention will now be described with reference to Figures 2 - 10.
Figur 2 beskriver en implementering av blockschemat i figur 3. TRX i figur 2 motsvarar sändar- och mottagarutrustning i figurerna 3, 9 - 10. LFl - LFn och antennerna i figur 2 motsvarar den gruppantennrelaterade utrustningen och grupp- antennen i figurerna 3 och 10.Figure 2 describes an implementation of the block diagram in Figure 3. TRX in Figure 2 corresponds to transmitter and receiver equipment in Figures 3, 9 - 10. The LF1 - LFn and the antennas in Figure 2 correspond to the group antenna related equipment and the group antenna in Figures 3 and 10.
Mobilradiosystemet enligt uppfinningen inbegriper flera basstationsplatser och mobilstationer (terminaler). Varje basstationsplats har en eller flera sektorer upp- delade i ett antal fasta lober (figurerna 4 - 8). Basstationsplatsen inbegriper bas- stationer med basstationssändarutrustning och basstationsmottagarutrustning.The mobile radio system according to the invention includes several base station locations and mobile stations (terminals). Each base station location has one or fl your sectors divided into a number of fixed lobes (Figures 4 - 8). The base station location includes base stations with base station transmitter equipment and base station receiver equipment.
Mobilstationen innefattar en mobilstationsmottagare och en mobilstationssändare.The mobile station includes a mobile station receiver and a mobile station transmitter.
Kommunikationen i mobilradiosystemet mellan en basstationsplats och en mobil- station åstadkommes genom följande steg. Såsom nämnts ovan använder varje bas- stationsplats ett antal fasta lober (figurerna 4 -8) i enlighet med figurema 2, 3, 9 och 10 15 20 25 30 35 515 862 3 10. En förbindelse upprättas mellan basstationsplatsens sändar-/mottagarutrustning och mobilstation. En av lobema i en av sektorerna vid basstationsplatsen används för sändning av signaler mellan basstationsplatsens sändare/mottagare och mobilstationens sändare/mottagare. Basstationsplatsen mäter kontinuerligt signalerna som mottages från mobilstationen. Exempelvis bestämmer basstations- platsen den bästa loben genom att jämföra den mottagna signalen i den aktuella loben med signalen som mottages i alternativa lober. Detta kan utföras genom att jämföra mottagen signalstyrka eller att jämföra kvoten mellan mottagen signal och interferens i varje lob.The communication in the mobile radio system between a base station location and a mobile station is achieved by the following steps. As mentioned above, each base station location uses a number of fixed lobes (Figures 4-8) in accordance with Figures 2, 3, 9 and 10. . One of the lobes in one of the sectors at the base station location is used to transmit signals between the base station transmitter / receiver and the mobile station transmitter / receiver. The base station location continuously measures the signals received from the mobile station. For example, the base station location determines the best lobe by comparing the received signal in the current lobe with the signal received in alternative lobes. This can be done by comparing received signal strength or comparing the ratio between received signal and interference in each lobe.
Denna jämförelse mellan t.ex. signalstyrkor i lobema kan föranleda en hand- over mellan lobema. När handovem utföres byter basstationsplatsen den använda loben hos basstationsplatsen till en annan lob i samma basstationsplats utan att byta den betjänande sändar- och mottagarutrustningen, dvs basstationsplatsen använder samma mottagar-/sändarutrustning till den nya loben.This comparison between e.g. signal strengths in the lobes can cause a handover between the lobes. When the handover is performed, the base station location changes the used lobe of the base station location to another lobe in the same base station location without replacing the serving transmitter and receiver equipment, ie the base station location uses the same receiver / transmitter equipment for the new lobe.
Således byts kanalen inte vid byte av lob. Det bör inses att med kanal menar vi frekvens, tidslucka, CDMA-kodning, osv. Det bör också inses att i stället för att utföra handover mellan lober såsom nämns ovan, kan handover mellan sektorer också åstadkommas på samma sätt.Thus, the channel is not changed when changing the lobe. It should be understood that by channel we mean frequency, time slot, CDMA coding, etc. It should also be appreciated that instead of performing handover between lobes as mentioned above, handover between sectors can also be accomplished in the same manner.
Ett antal olika handoversituationer kommer nu att beskrivas med hänvisning speciellt till figurerna 5 - 10. Först kommer begreppet ” basstationsplats” att för- klaras med hänvisning till figur 6. Begreppet ”basstationsplats” i figur 6 är definierat som täckningsområdet för tre sektorer och basstationsplatsen inbegriper de tre gruppantennema som normalt styrs av tre basstationer, dvs en basstation för varje gruppantenn.A number of different handover situations will now be described with reference specifically to Figures 5 - 10. First, the term “base station location” will be explained with reference to Figure 6. The term “base station location” in Figure 6 is defined as the coverage area for three sectors and the base station location includes the three group antennas which are normally controlled by three base stations, i.e. one base station for each group antenna.
Såsom nämns ovan kan handover (HO) utföras mellan olika lober och olika sektorer i en basstationsplats. Såsom beskrivs i figur 5 kan en basstationsplats bestå av tre olika fysiska antenner, var och en kopplad till en basstation, i vilken hand- ovem kan utföras mellan dessa antenner (basstationer). Detta är fallet i figurerna 5, 9 i vilka lob-/sektorhandover utföres genom att byta från sektor 1 till sektor 2. Vid bytet används dock samma sändar-/mottagarutrustningen (TRX) i basstationsplatsen, samt samma kanal.As mentioned above, handover (HO) can be performed between different lobes and different sectors in a base station location. As described in Figure 5, a base station location may consist of three different physical antennas, each connected to a base station, in which hand operation can be performed between these antennas (base stations). This is the case in Figures 5, 9 in which lobe / sector handover is performed by switching from sector 1 to sector 2. However, when switching, the same transmitter / receiver equipment (TRX) is used in the base station location, as well as the same channel.
I figurerna 3 och 6 utföres lobhandover inom en sektor utan att byta sändar- /mottagarutrustning eller kanal.In Figures 3 and 6, lobe handover is performed within a sector without changing transmitter / receiver equipment or channel.
I figurerna 3 och 7 utföres lobhandover mellan lobema 4 och 5 antingen inom en sektor eller utföres en lob-/sektorhandover mellan sektorerna 6 och 7, varvid handovern utföres från lob 8 i sektor 6 till lob 9 i sektor 7. Samma TRX-utrustning och samma kanal används.In Figures 3 and 7, lobe handover between lobes 4 and 5 is performed either within a sector or a lobe / sector handover is performed between sectors 6 and 7, the handover being performed from lobe 8 in sector 6 to lobe 9 in sector 7. The same TRX equipment and the same channel is used.
I figurerna 6, 10 utföres lob-/sektorhandover genom att byta från en sektor till en annan sektor men samma sändar-/mottagarutrustning hos basstationsplatsen 515 862 4 används.In Figures 6, 10, lobe / sector handover is performed by switching from one sector to another sector but the same transmitter / receiver equipment of the base station location 515 862 is used.
Ovanstående betraktas endast som föredragna utföringsformer och upp- ñnningens ømfattning är endast begränsad av följande patentkrav.The above are considered only as preferred embodiments and the scope of the invention is limited only by the following claims.
