Description

無線通訊延續不中斷之方法及其系統 Method and system for continuing wireless communication without interruption

本發明一般而言係關於擷取無線網路連線時可維持連線通暢,避免中斷之方法及其系統,詳細而言係關於整合調整控制各項影響網路連線品質的因素,提供無線通訊傳輸延續不中斷服務之方法及其系統。 The present invention generally relates to a method and system for maintaining a smooth connection and avoiding interruption when capturing a wireless network connection, and more specifically for integrating and adjusting various factors affecting network connection quality, providing wireless Communication transmission continues the method of uninterrupted service and its system.

在一個大範圍的場域內佈建無線通訊節點時,必須考慮網路覆蓋率,即,無線訊號範圍對比場域地面面積之比例。此外,各無線通訊節點的無線訊號涵蓋區域,往往會有部份重疊,但也可能有部份區域未有訊號涵蓋。當使用者在場域中移動,有可能會移動到目前無線通訊節點訊號未涵蓋的地點,此時便導致網路斷線。 When deploying a wireless communication node in a large area, the network coverage must be considered, that is, the ratio of the wireless signal range to the floor area of the field. In addition, the wireless signal coverage areas of each wireless communication node often overlap, but some areas may not be covered by signals. When the user moves in the field, it may move to a location that is not covered by the current wireless communication node signal, which may cause the network to be disconnected.

若移動進入二個節點以上的訊號重疊處,使用者必須選擇其中之一節點以接取網路。由於一般係依據訊號強度而選擇節點,但訊號較強節點可能此時較為擁塞,反而是訊號較弱者可以提供相對較大頻寬。 If the mobile enters a signal overlap of more than two nodes, the user must select one of the nodes to access the network. Since the node is generally selected according to the signal strength, the stronger signal node may be more congested at this time, but the weaker signal can provide a relatively larger bandwidth.

為解決此等網路擷取應用之品質問題,中華民國專利第4812871號揭示依據使用者活動等級而自動調節無線網路連線原則。但此習知技術仍僅只依據使用者裝置及無線通訊節點兩者之間的無線網路信號強度為判斷基準,仍未教示如何解決網路擁塞問題。 In order to solve the quality problem of such network capture applications, the Republic of China Patent No. 4812871 discloses that the wireless network connection principle is automatically adjusted according to the user activity level. However, this prior art still only relies on the strength of the wireless network signal between the user device and the wireless communication node as a benchmark, and has not taught how to solve the network congestion problem.

美國專利第8,005,457號(Method and system for verifying network resource usage records)揭示了使用者設備利用無線通訊節點連上網 路時的計費機制,並提出如何中斷惡意使用者的連線。其中雖有提及AAA System可以用來認證使用者,並且計算網路使用量,但並未揭示如何控制無線通訊節點,以求增進整體網路的QoS。 US Patent No. 8,005,457 (Method and system for verifying network resource usage records) discloses that user equipment uses a wireless communication node to connect to the Internet. The billing mechanism of the road, and how to interrupt the connection of malicious users. Although it is mentioned that AAA System can be used to authenticate users and calculate network usage, it does not reveal how to control wireless communication nodes in order to improve the overall network QoS.

美國專利第8,964,595號(Quality of experience enhancement for wireless networks based on received signal strength at a mobile device)揭示依據網路訊號強度(received signal strength indicator,RSSI)而讓使用者設備選擇應該連接到哪個無線通訊節點。此專利揭示了使用者裝置可以主動決定如何在兩個節點之間進行切換,其中詳細描述了使用者裝置及節點兩者之間連線細節及選擇機制。然而此習知技術未能提出一無線通訊節點如何決定哪個使用者設備可連線之機制。 The quality of experience enhancement for wireless networks based on received signal strength at a mobile device discloses that the user equipment selects which wireless communication node should be connected according to the received signal strength indicator (RSSI). . This patent discloses that the user device can actively decide how to switch between two nodes, wherein the connection details and selection mechanism between the user device and the node are described in detail. However, this prior art fails to suggest a mechanism by which a wireless communication node determines which user equipment can be connected.

美國專利第8,817,657號(Techniques for enhanced network discovery)揭示具有多重通訊能力之無線設備(multicomm wireless devices)可以利用掃描而取得異質網路的各自基地臺名單,且加以合併,並將整併過的列表提供給其他的設備。雖然此習知技術利用預先整理並儲存無線通訊節點列表以求通訊不中斷,但仍欠缺中央連線管理機制以求整體盤路服務之最佳化。 U.S. Patent No. 8,817,657 (Techniques for Enhanced Network Discovery) discloses that multicomm wireless devices can use scanning to obtain a list of respective base stations of a heterogeneous network, merge them, and merge the lists. Provided to other devices. Although this prior art utilizes pre-organizing and storing a list of wireless communication nodes for uninterrupted communication, there is still a lack of a central connection management mechanism to optimize the overall routing service.

本發明提出一方法,可以整合各項影響網路連線品質的因素,例如網路拓樸(Network topology)及服務品質(Quality of Service,QoS),以提供無線通訊傳輸延續不中斷之服務。 The present invention proposes a method for integrating various factors affecting the quality of the network connection, such as a network topology and a quality of service (QoS), to provide an uninterrupted service for wireless communication transmission.

本發明之方法避免了現有基於使用者設備與無線通訊節點間之訊號強度(received signal strength indicator,RSSI)決定由某無線通訊節 點提供服務,而造成某些無線通訊節點連線過多導致整體網路使用率不佳的問題。 The method of the present invention avoids the existing signal strength indicator (RSSI) between the user equipment and the wireless communication node to determine the wireless communication section. The point provides services, and some wireless communication nodes are too connected, resulting in poor overall network usage.

本發明之方法也可避免使用者雖可連上無線通訊節點,卻因為無線通訊節點對外頻寬擁塞造成網路使用之可靠性及傳輸速率低下的問題。 The method of the invention can also avoid the problem that the user can connect to the wireless communication node, but the reliability of the network use and the transmission rate are low due to the external bandwidth congestion of the wireless communication node.

If the result of the check is affirmative, the wireless communication node of the system facilitates the user device to be connected in step 108 to connect the user device to the network.

相反的,若步驟106中,使用者設備之近地無線通訊節點就其所儲存資訊所進行辨識結果,認定該使用者設備並不是經認證之合法使用者,則系統便進至步驟120,轉由中央運算元擷取檢查系統之主資料檔,並於步驟122中判定該使用者設備是否為經系統認證之合法使用者。若檢查結果為肯定,流程即回至步驟108,無線通訊節點即允許使用者設備連結至網路。 Conversely, if the near-ground wireless communication node of the user equipment performs the identification result of the stored information and determines that the user equipment is not a certified legitimate user, the system proceeds to step 120. The master data file of the inspection system is retrieved by the central operation unit, and in step 122, it is determined whether the user equipment is a legitimate user authenticated by the system. If the result of the check is affirmative, the process returns to step 108, and the wireless communication node allows the user device to connect to the network.

但若步驟122之判定結果仍為否定,則系統便於步驟124中要求使用者設備進行登記註冊。此可由使用者設備透過其已連結之近地無線通訊節點進行。一旦登錄註冊成功,系統便於步驟126中為此新註冊之使用者設備建立其辨識碼。接著並於步驟128中將新使用者設備之辨識碼等相關資料轉送至系統內所有無線通訊節點,以供近地儲存。其後,流程並回至步驟102,為此新使用者設備重新執行掃描(步驟102),資料搜尋(步驟104),辨識比對(步驟106)等程序。此時由於該新使用者設備已屬系統之合法用戶,當然可於步驟108中成功連結至網路。 However, if the result of the determination in step 122 is still negative, the system facilitates the registration of the user equipment in step 124. This can be done by the user equipment through its connected near-Earth wireless communication node. Once the login registration is successful, the system facilitates the establishment of its identification code for the newly registered user device in step 126. Then, in step 128, the identification data of the new user equipment and other related data are forwarded to all wireless communication nodes in the system for near-ground storage. Thereafter, the process returns to step 102 to re-execute the scanning (step 102), data search (step 104), identification of the comparison (step 106), and the like for the new user device. At this time, since the new user equipment is already a legitimate user of the system, it can of course be successfully connected to the network in step 108.

以上圖2所描述本發明之方法係為一種無線通訊延續不中斷之方法,可供一網路擷取服務系統為使用者設備透過系統之多個無線通訊節點而擷取網路。此方法包含以系統所具有之一中央運算元依據使用者設備之移動情況、使用者設備與至少一無線通訊節點之連線訊號狀態、以往連線記錄及該至少一無線通訊節點之即時負載情況,進行整合最佳化計算。此方法更包含依最佳化計算結果判定使用者設備是否應由其目前所連結之無線通訊節點切斷連結,並另行連線至另一無線通訊節點。若判定為否,使用者設備即維持與目前所連結之該至少一無線通訊節點之連結。若 判定為是,中央運算元便將使用者設備之連線資訊傳到該另一無線通訊節點,並協助將該另一無線通訊節點之網路優化資訊傳送至該使用者設備。其後,目前所連結之該至少一無線通訊節點便切斷與該使用者設備之連線,且使用者設備利用已經得到之該另一無線通訊節點之網路優化資訊,快速與該另一無線通訊節點建立連線,減少在無線通訊節點之間切換的往返時間以延續其連線之不中斷,從而確保其網路擷取之服務品質。 The method of the present invention described above in FIG. 2 is a method for continuing wireless communication without interruption. A network capture service system can be used for a user device to retrieve a network through a plurality of wireless communication nodes of the system. The method includes a central operation unit of the system according to the movement of the user equipment, a connection signal state of the user equipment and the at least one wireless communication node, a previous connection record, and an immediate load condition of the at least one wireless communication node. , for integration optimization calculations. The method further comprises determining, according to the optimization calculation result, whether the user equipment should be disconnected by the wireless communication node to which it is currently connected, and separately connected to another wireless communication node. If the determination is no, the user equipment maintains a connection with the currently connected at least one wireless communication node. If If the determination is yes, the central computing unit transmits the connection information of the user equipment to the other wireless communication node, and assists in transmitting the network optimization information of the other wireless communication node to the user equipment. Thereafter, the currently connected at least one wireless communication node disconnects the user equipment, and the user equipment utilizes the network optimization information of the other wireless communication node that has been obtained, and quickly connects to the other The wireless communication node establishes a connection, reduces the round-trip time of switching between wireless communication nodes to continue the uninterrupted connection of the connection, thereby ensuring the quality of service of the network.

於本發明之實施例中,該中央運算元所進行整合最佳化計算更包含預測該使用者設備在某時間點之位置,且其預測方法包含判斷使用者設備之移動方向及速度。使用者設備所將切換之該另一無線通訊節點,可位於該中央運算元所預測該使用者設備之位置。使用者設備目前所連結之該至少一無線通訊節點之服務頻寬,可高於該另一無線通訊節點之服務頻寬。使用者設備係可為具有計算和無線連網能力之裝置,其包含智慧型手機、平板電腦、筆記型電腦、無人飛機或無人駕駛車。 In an embodiment of the present invention, the integrated optimization calculation performed by the central operation unit further includes predicting a location of the user equipment at a certain time point, and the prediction method includes determining a moving direction and a speed of the user equipment. The other wireless communication node to be switched by the user equipment may be located at a location predicted by the central operating unit of the user equipment. The service bandwidth of the at least one wireless communication node currently connected to the user equipment may be higher than the service bandwidth of the other wireless communication node. The user device can be a device with computing and wireless networking capabilities, including a smart phone, tablet, laptop, drone or driverless car.

於本發明之實施例中,此方法更包含評量使用者設備連接到無線通訊節點時之服務品質,以用於中央運算元作為切換網路節點之依據。其評量包含判定使用者設備與無線通訊節點間之相對無線訊號強度指標RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator),是否大於某一特定數值。若否,中央運算元便將使用者設備之連線資訊傳到另一無線通訊節點,並協助將該另一無線通訊節點之網路優化資訊傳送至該使用者設備。其中,該相對無線訊號強度指標為無線通訊節點與使用者設備間訊號強度之量度。並且,無線通訊節點之服務品質等級取決於其目前尚可服務之頻寬及最大服 務頻寬之比值,以及數個參數之集合,其包含網路封包丟失率以及訊號往返無線通訊節點及使用者設備之時間。 In an embodiment of the invention, the method further comprises evaluating the quality of service of the user equipment when connected to the wireless communication node for use as a basis for the central computing unit to switch network nodes. The evaluation includes determining whether the relative radio signal strength indicator RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) between the user equipment and the wireless communication node is greater than a certain value. If not, the central computing unit transmits the connection information of the user equipment to another wireless communication node, and assists in transmitting the network optimization information of the other wireless communication node to the user equipment. The relative wireless signal strength indicator is a measure of the signal strength between the wireless communication node and the user equipment. Moreover, the quality of service level of the wireless communication node depends on the bandwidth and maximum service that it can still serve. The ratio of the bandwidth to the bandwidth, and a set of parameters, including the network packet loss rate and the time of the signal to and from the wireless communication node and the user equipment.

以上所描述本發明之方法可於一種無線通訊延續不中斷之系統中施行,此系統包含多個無線通訊節點與一中央運算元。該中央運算元可依據使用者設備之移動情況、使用者設備與至少一無線通訊節點之連線訊號狀態、以往連線記錄及該至少一無線通訊節點之即時負載情況,進行整合最佳化計算,以判定該使用者設備是否應由其目前所連結之該至少一無線通訊節點切斷連結,並另行連線至另一無線通訊節點。當判定為否時,使用者設備維持與目前所連結之無線通訊節點之連結。當判定為是時,中央運算元便將使用者設備之連線資訊傳到該另一無線通訊節點,並協助將該另一無線通訊節點之網路優化資訊傳送至該使用者設備。此時目前所連結之無線通訊節點便切斷與使用者設備之連線,且使用者設備並利用已經得到之該另一無線通訊節點之網路優化資訊,快速與該另一無線通訊節點建立連線,大幅減少在無線通訊節點之間切換的往返時間以延續其連線之不中斷,從而確保其網路擷取之服務品質。 The method of the present invention described above can be implemented in a system in which wireless communication continues uninterrupted, the system comprising a plurality of wireless communication nodes and a central operating unit. The central computing unit may perform integration optimization calculation according to the movement condition of the user equipment, the connection signal state of the user equipment and the at least one wireless communication node, the previous connection record, and the instantaneous load condition of the at least one wireless communication node. In order to determine whether the user equipment should be disconnected by the at least one wireless communication node to which it is currently connected, and separately connected to another wireless communication node. When the determination is no, the user equipment maintains a connection with the currently connected wireless communication node. When the determination is yes, the central computing unit transmits the connection information of the user equipment to the other wireless communication node, and assists in transmitting the network optimization information of the other wireless communication node to the user equipment. At this time, the currently connected wireless communication node cuts off the connection with the user equipment, and the user equipment quickly establishes the network optimization information of the other wireless communication node that has been obtained, and quickly establishes with the other wireless communication node. The connection greatly reduces the round-trip time of switching between wireless communication nodes to continue the uninterrupted connection of the connection, thus ensuring the quality of service that is captured by the network.

以上所描述本發明方法及系統之特徵為:利用無線通訊節點及中央運算元之兩層式認證,既可以讓無線通訊節點無需每次都回到中央運算元認證使用者設備,達到使用者設備快速連線的要求,也可以藉由中央運算元之認證及控制,決定該使用者設備是否可以獲得網路之連接能力。中央運算元更可藉由調控使用者設備之連線與否,讓多個無線通訊節點之通訊頻寬達到全區優化(Global Optimization)。 The method and system of the present invention described above is characterized in that: the two-layer authentication of the wireless communication node and the central computing unit enables the wireless communication node to return to the central computing unit to authenticate the user equipment every time to reach the user equipment. The requirement of fast connection can also be determined by the central operator's authentication and control to determine whether the user equipment can obtain the connection capability of the network. The central computing unit can also adjust the communication bandwidth of multiple wireless communication nodes to achieve global optimization by controlling the connection of user equipment.

圖3之狀態圖顯示依據本發明一實施例,中央運算元200決定該由哪個無線通訊節點連接使用者設備,要求使用者設備改連接至另一特定無線通訊節點之判定過程。 3 is a state diagram showing a decision process in which the central computing unit 200 determines which wireless communication node is connected to the user equipment and requires the user equipment to reconnect to another particular wireless communication node, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

若希望使用者設備220從A無線通訊節點212改為連接到B無線通訊節點214,中央運算元200便送出兩個指示符。其中指示中斷連線之指示符241要求A無線通訊節點212中斷與使用者設備220之連線,另並以允許連線之指示符242告知B無線通訊節點214,准其接受使用者設備220之連線。 If the user device 220 is desired to change from the A wireless communication node 212 to the B wireless communication node 214, the central operating unit 200 sends two indicators. The indicator 241 indicating that the disconnection is required requires the A wireless communication node 212 to disconnect from the user equipment 220, and the B-wireless communication node 214 is notified by the indicator 242 allowing the connection to accept the user equipment 220. Connected.

A無線通訊節點212接到指示符241後,即送出中斷連線之指示符243中斷與使用者設備220之連線,並且知道其將改由B無線通訊節點214服務。此時使用者設備220便會掃描可用之網路訊號,並以指示符244發出請求連線之要求,順利連上B無線通訊節點214。 After the A wireless communication node 212 receives the indicator 241, the indicator 243 for sending the disconnect connection interrupts the connection with the user equipment 220 and knows that it will be served by the B wireless communication node 214. At this time, the user equipment 220 scans the available network signal, and sends a request to connect with the indicator 244 to successfully connect to the B wireless communication node 214.

依據本發明,由於使用者設備與各無線通訊節點連接時之網路連線狀態都會被完整記錄在各無線通訊節點內,以供系統整體連線服務達成最佳化。圖4之時程圖顯示依據圖3所描繪之實施例,一使用者設備於本發明系統內切換網路連線之詳細過程。 According to the present invention, the network connection status when the user equipment is connected to each wireless communication node is completely recorded in each wireless communication node, so as to optimize the overall connection service of the system. The time-history diagram of Figure 4 shows the detailed process of a user equipment switching network connections within the system of the present invention in accordance with the embodiment depicted in Figure 3.

當系統之中央運算元200確認使用者設備220應切斷其與A無線通訊節點212之連線,並另行連線至B無線通訊節點214時,中央運算元200便將使用者設備220優先權指示符313傳到B無線通訊節點214,並協助將B無線通訊節點214之網路優化資訊315傳到使用者設備220。 When the central processing unit 200 of the system confirms that the user equipment 220 should disconnect its connection with the A wireless communication node 212 and separately connects to the B wireless communication node 214, the central operation unit 200 prioritizes the user equipment 220. The indicator 313 is passed to the B wireless communication node 214 and assists in transmitting the network optimization information 315 of the B wireless communication node 214 to the user device 220.

接著,A無線通訊節點212便切斷與使用者設備220之連線。由於使用者設備220已經得到B無線通訊節點214之網路優化資訊315,此時即可以快速與B無線通訊節點214建立連線。 Next, the A wireless communication node 212 disconnects from the user equipment 220. Since the user equipment 220 has obtained the network optimization information 315 of the B wireless communication node 214, the connection with the B wireless communication node 214 can be quickly established.

以上所描述之情境係經由一專用中央運算元200進行系統統合管理,以求系統運作之總體最佳化。此種在連線服務系統之總合硬體資源內,將一使用者設備220由一可用A無線通訊節點212上特意解除連線,並連結至另一B無線通訊節點214,以求平衡資源運用,從而令每一使用者設備得以獲得最佳連線服務品質之方法,係為本發明之特徵。如此可以大幅減少在無線通訊節點之間切換的往返時間(round-trip time,RTT),並且提高QoS。 The context described above is system integrated management via a dedicated central computing unit 200 for overall optimization of system operation. In a general hardware resource of the connection service system, a user equipment 220 is deliberately disconnected from an available A wireless communication node 212 and connected to another B wireless communication node 214 to balance resources. The method of using, thereby enabling each user device to obtain the best connection service quality, is a feature of the present invention. This can greatly reduce the round-trip time (RTT) of switching between wireless communication nodes and improve QoS.

例如,在前述之實例之中,對於同一使用者設備(如,220)而言,假設同時有二個以上可以提供連線服務之無線通訊節點212,214在其接取距離範圍之內。即便已有一A無線通訊節點212已經連上,但系統之中央運算元200之管理計算結果可能會要求其目前A無線通訊節點212應予中斷,另行連線至另一B無線通訊節點214,即便此另一B無線通訊節點214可能係屬較小頻寬之節點。此可能係因系統已判定由於此節點目前所服務之使用者較少,故而對於使用者220而言,其所可使用頻寬反而較大,故而對使用者220而言,此B無線通訊節點214反而可以提供較佳服務品質。 For example, in the foregoing examples, for the same user equipment (e.g., 220), it is assumed that there are more than two wireless communication nodes 212, 214 that can provide connection services at the same time within the range of their access distances. Even if an A wireless communication node 212 has been connected, the management calculation result of the central operation unit 200 of the system may require that the current A wireless communication node 212 should be interrupted, and otherwise connected to another B wireless communication node 214, even if This other B wireless communication node 214 may be a node of a smaller bandwidth. This may be because the system has determined that there are fewer users currently served by the node, so the user 220 can use a larger bandwidth, so for the user 220, the B wireless communication node 214 can provide better service quality.

再者,系統之中央運算元200因持續控管整體系統運作狀況,故亦可能預先判定,即,可以事先預測使用者即將離開原A無線通訊節點212,並朝向另一B無線通訊節點214移動。此等預測性質之系統管理處置,更可推進系統之整體服務品質。以下圖5即說明此種作法。 Furthermore, the central processing unit 200 of the system may continuously determine the operation status of the overall system, and may also determine in advance that the user is about to leave the original A wireless communication node 212 and move toward the other B wireless communication node 214. . These predictive nature of system management disposal can further promote the overall service quality of the system. Figure 5 below illustrates this approach.

圖5說明在一多節點訊號覆蓋環境,諸如前述圖2及3所描繪之環境中,中央運算元預測於某個時點使用者設備可能之位置,並且指定適切之無線通訊節點以供使用者設備連線。 Figure 5 illustrates a multi-node signal coverage environment, such as the one depicted in Figures 2 and 3 above, where the central computing unit predicts the location of the user device at a certain point in time and specifies the appropriate wireless communication node for the user device. Connected.

依據本發明,中央運算元能夠驗證並辨識使用者設備之識別碼。當同一使用者設備出現於系統內時,中央運算元可以經由過往使用者設備之移動模式及網路拓樸等技術,預測某個時間點之時,使用者設備可能會出現之位置。依據此預測,中央運算元即可指定系統中之適切無線通訊節點,令其提供使用者設備之連線服務。圖5用來說明此一流程。 In accordance with the present invention, the central computing unit is capable of verifying and identifying the identification code of the user device. When the same user equipment appears in the system, the central operation unit can predict the location where the user equipment may appear at a certain point in time via techniques such as the mobile mode of the user equipment and the network topology. Based on this prediction, the central operating unit can specify the appropriate wireless communication node in the system to provide connection services for the user equipment. Figure 5 is used to illustrate this process.

圖5中虛線所標示圓圈412,414及416係分別表示無線通訊節點512,514及516之無線訊號覆蓋範圍。當使用者設備220出現在圖5之系統服務範圍內時,中央運算元依據其所管控之系統運作資訊,認證無線通訊節點512及無線通訊節點514皆可接受使用者設備220之連線,並預測使用者設備220移動路徑係為由520a移動至520b,再至520c。 The circles 412, 414 and 416 indicated by the dashed lines in Fig. 5 indicate the wireless signal coverage of the wireless communication nodes 512, 514 and 516, respectively. When the user equipment 220 appears in the system service scope of FIG. 5, the central operation unit can authenticate the wireless communication node 512 and the wireless communication node 514 according to the system operation information controlled by the central operation unit, and the user equipment 220 can be connected. The user equipment 220 is predicted to move the path from 520a to 520b and then to 520c.

不過,使用者設備220之實際移動,的確係由520a移動至520b,但未至520c,而是移動至520b1。不過,依據本發明,當使用者設備220出現於520a位置時,其會接受到無線通訊節點512及無線通訊節點514之訊號優化資訊,即便系統並不預測使用者設備220將移動到520b1亦然。 However, the actual movement of the user device 220 does move from 520a to 520b, but not to 520c, but to 520b1. However, in accordance with the present invention, when the user device 220 appears in the 520a location, it will receive signal optimization information from the wireless communication node 512 and the wireless communication node 514, even if the system does not predict that the user device 220 will move to 520b1. .

因此,當使用者設備220脫離無線通訊節點512之無線訊號涵蓋範圍512時,不需重新掃描無線通訊訊號,而會依據無線通訊節點514之訊號優化資訊,而馬上可以連接至無線通訊節點514。如此可將網路連線中斷之時間降到最低,於最佳狀態下甚至不會中斷使用者設備220所正進行之連線服務,達成無縫接軌。 Therefore, when the user equipment 220 is separated from the wireless signal coverage area 512 of the wireless communication node 512, the wireless communication signal is not required to be re-scanned, but the wireless communication node 514 can be immediately connected according to the signal optimization information of the wireless communication node 514. In this way, the network connection interruption time can be minimized, and in the optimal state, the connection service that the user equipment 220 is performing is not interrupted, and the seamless connection is achieved.

相較之下,習知技術由於使用者設備220已脫離無線通訊節點512之無線訊號涵蓋範圍512,它會被迫斷線,並且嘗試重新掃描無線通訊訊號,此時會中斷與網路之連線。 In contrast, conventional techniques have been forced to disconnect the wireless communication signal since the user device 220 has left the wireless signal coverage range 512 of the wireless communication node 512, and the network connection is interrupted. line.

雖然本發明已配合圖式以較佳實施例揭示如上,然其並非用以限定本發明。任何熟習此技藝者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍下,當可進行此類更動與變化,因此本發明之保護範圍當以後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 Although the present invention has been described above in connection with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention. It is to be understood by those skilled in the art that such modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
