Description

560214 ⑴ 玖、發明說明 (發明說«敘明··發简屬之技術顯、先前技術、轉、實施方狀圖相單說明) 發明背景 本申請案係關於服務品質。具體而言,本申請專利案係 關於促使能夠以受使用者控制方式變更服務品質。 先前在現存的電路交換網路中,由通訊系統提供的服務 品質(QoS)對於使用者不需要也不可能選擇。封包交換網 路’如整合封包無線電服務(GPRS)、增強型整合封包無線 電服務(EGPRS)及全球行動電信系統(UMTS)現正在運用, 且因其連接係藉由複數個封包的使用而非藉由專屬電路, 在封包處置裝置中可出現靈活性,在傳遞的服務品質中可 產生靈活性。 可使用不同的參數衡量或評估服務品質。例如,有兩項 重要的服務品質衡量方法,一係關於封包潛伏期,即封包 經歷多少延遲;二係關於輸出量和資料傳輸率,即在一既 定時間内可傳輸多少資料。 一般而言,使用者沒有一機制可用於從一網際網路協定 (IP)的網路請求一特定的服務品質。雖然已提出Q〇s管理 的一些不同方法,但是沒有共同的標準用於端對端Q〇S管 理。其結果是,移動式應用的使用者沒有機制更改由用戶 裝置或使用者設備(UE)傳遞的應用效能,即使UE和容許 控制系統中有,也依賴於排程演算法。 依照本發明的第一方面,提供一用戶裝置,其具有由使 用者控制的裝置,能更改該用戶裝置與一通訊系統之間的560214 玖 发明, description of the invention (Invention «Synopsis ·· Technical manifestation of the genus of briefing, prior art, transfer, and implementation of the chart diagram and single description) Background of the invention This application is about service quality. Specifically, this patent application relates to enabling the service quality to be changed in a user-controlled manner. Previously, in existing circuit-switched networks, the quality of service (QoS) provided by the communication system was not required and impossible for users to choose. Packet Switching Networks such as Integrated Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhanced Integrated Packet Radio Service (EGPRS), and Global System for Mobile Telecommunications (UMTS) are now in use, and their connections are made through the use of multiple packets instead of borrowing With the exclusive circuit, flexibility can occur in the packet processing device, and flexibility can be generated in the quality of service delivered. Different parameters can be used to measure or evaluate the quality of the service. For example, there are two important methods of measuring service quality. One is about the latency of the packet, that is, how much delay the packet experiences; the other is about the output and data transmission rate, that is, how much data can be transmitted in a given time. Generally speaking, users do not have a mechanism to request a specific quality of service from an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Although some different approaches to QOS management have been proposed, there is no common standard for end-to-end QOS management. As a result, users of mobile applications have no mechanism to change the performance of applications delivered by user devices or user equipment (UE), and even if they exist in the UE and the admission control system, they rely on scheduling algorithms. According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a user device having a device controlled by a user, which can change the communication between the user device and a communication system.

560214 無線通訊中傳遞的服務品質。 依知、本發明的第二方面,提供一方法在網路中更改服務 品質,其包括:從用戶裝置接收一服務的請求、接收一特 定服務品質的請求、以特定服務品質傳遞請求的服務、接 收一更改特定服務品質的請求、並依據該請求更改傳遞的 服務品質。 圖式簡單說明 為了更加理解本發明,並顯示其如何發揮作用,在隨附 的圖示中將藉由實例的裝置加以說明,其中: 圖1係依照本發明展示一示範方法; 圖2係依照本發明展示一用戶裝置的部分示意圖。 發明詳細說明 本發明為使用者提供對服務品質可控制的選擇或調整 ’讓使用者能在一有限時間内從網路上請求不同等級的服 務品質,一般是改進的服務品質。通常,改進服務品質意 味著增加頻寬、縮短潛伏期或減少變動。或者,一使用者 可能希望請求一較低等級的服務品質,例如保存信用或減 少資料傳輸費用。請求的服務品質的降低對於低優先應用 特別有利。 在本發明最簡單的形式内,使用者可請求一「高」服務 p口質以代替「普通」服務品質。在本發明較複雜的形式中 ,可提供使用者大量不同的服務品質增量或步驟以供選擇。 使用者可控制型調整可通過許多不同的裝置進行。在一 安排中,使用者可控制調整藉由手動控制活動進行,例如 560214560214 Quality of service delivered in wireless communications. According to the second aspect of the present invention, a method for changing a service quality in a network is provided, which includes: receiving a request for a service from a user device, receiving a request for a specific service quality, delivering the requested service with a specific service quality, Receive a request to change a specific quality of service and change the delivered quality of service based on the request. Brief description of the drawings In order to better understand the present invention and show how it works, the accompanying illustration will be described by an example device, wherein: FIG. 1 shows an exemplary method according to the present invention; FIG. 2 shows The present invention shows a partial schematic diagram of a user device. Detailed description of the invention The present invention provides users with controllable selection or adjustment of service quality, so that users can request different levels of service quality from the network within a limited time, which is generally improved service quality. In general, improving service quality means increasing bandwidth, reducing latency, or reducing variability. Alternatively, a user may wish to request a lower level of service quality, such as saving credit or reducing data transmission costs. The reduction in requested service quality is particularly advantageous for low priority applications. In the simplest form of the invention, the user can request a "high" service quality instead of the "normal" service quality. In the more complex form of the present invention, a large number of different service quality increments or steps can be provided for the user to choose from. User-controllable adjustments can be made by many different devices. In an arrangement, the user can control the adjustment through manual control activities, such as 560214

(2) 通過手動按壓或擠壓裝置部件;或藉由一專屬硬體^施, 例如藉由 間早按紐,姆指旋輪或開關。或者,使用聲立 啟動使用者可控制調整。此外,使用者可控制型調整可在 用戶裝置(UE)的使用者介面裏提供作為一功能表選二貝(2) By manually pressing or squeezing the device parts; or by using a dedicated hardware, such as early morning button, thumb wheel or switch. Alternatively, the user can control the adjustments using the Acoustic Start. In addition, user-controllable adjustments can be provided as a menu option in the user interface of the user device (UE).

在一特別有利的安排中,提供一手動服務品質增強按鈕 或開關,當其啟動會引起UE請求在一短時期内頻寬辦加 及/或潛伏期縮短及/或變動減少,以使得一應用的執行更 為快速。該工作完成後,或在其它某時刻,該按鈕或開關 可鬆開或撤消,使UE與網路協商以使Q〇s的等級回到以前 的設置。 計費系統會獲得使用使用者可控制型調整或選擇服務 品質的通知’且相應的費用會計入帳單。例如,計費系統 可收到使用Q 〇 S增強設施的通知,並根據所改進的服務按 /附加費率計費。In a particularly advantageous arrangement, a manual service quality enhancement button or switch is provided, which, when activated, will cause the UE to request a bandwidth increase in a short period of time and / or a reduction in latency and / or a decrease in variation, so that an application's Execution is faster. After the work is completed, or at some other time, the button or switch can be released or undone, so that the UE negotiates with the network to return the Qos level to the previous setting. The billing system will be notified of the use of user-controlled adjustments or the choice of service quality ’and the corresponding charges will be billed. For example, the billing system may be notified of the use of QOS enhanced facilities and bill at a surcharge based on the improved service.

因而,本發明提供使用者一簡便的方法,用於經由選擇 或控制服務品質來更改應用效能及/或計費,而且無需行 動作業系統知識或無線電存取網路的資源配置演算。 特別值得注意的是,更改應用效能的該同一方法對於使 用者而言,很明顯也可用於大量不同的技術,例如,整合 封包無線電服務(GPRS)、高速電路交換資料(HSCSD)、分碼 多重存取(CDMA)及寬頻CDMA(W-CDMA)。 效能更改可由使用者控制,尤其是網路無所知的使用者 所要考慮的因素。因而,如一使用者正準備登機、進入遂 道或參加會議,此時無法與網路通訊,則可依照本發明使 (3)560214 例如完成一檔案下載。 從使用者設備至網路) 到網路。 用增強功把以保證與網路的通訊, 本發明也可用於上行鏈路方向(即 ,例如傳送一電子郵件或其它資料 此外,由於所增加的效能直接由使用者控制,可對使用 者QoS改進的期間直接計費。這樣可從需要更高服務品質 的公司或其他高階使用者處獲得額外收入。 現參照圖1描述依照本發明的一示範方法。本發明的方 法將參”·、本發明的具體實施例加以說明,其中的UE有 一專屬加速增強按鈕,用於在一檔案下載中請求改進的 QoS。然而,很明顯本發明不限於此安排。 在步驟2中’使用者向UE發出一檔案下載的請求,例如 藉由在-微型劉覽器頁面上按一下連#。叩的作業系統 收到該請求後,與無線網路建立一連接,並請求一預設服 務品質等級(步驟4)。無線網路的無線電存取網路(RAN)收 到該請求後,分配必需的容量以請求的服務品質提供請求 的服務(步驟6),並且UE開始下載請求的檔案(步驟8)。 使用者得刻通知請求的下載正在進行(步驟1〇)。該步驟 的執行可藉由,例如,在UE顯示器上提供一資料傳輸+ 成條。使用奢可能希望加快資料傳輸速度,例如為了在2 機或進入遂道前完成傳輸。如果這樣,使用者可啟動= UE提供的加速增強按紐(步驟12)。 依據加速增強按㈣敌動,U”求增加頻寬w Μ 伏期用於來自RAN的連接(步驟Μ)β另外,依據加^ 強按鈕的啟動,UE可對使用者指示已從RAN請求一較; (4)560214 的Q〇s寺級(步锦丨 其係 ^^L—:— 的照明或由叫示-訊息。❹—發^極體㈣ 資=:驟14中來自UE的請求,由ran決定請求的額外 驟二…用,如果該額外資源可用,將其分配至UE(步 ,)°^AN還通知計費系統加速設施已使用及分配至UE 的額外資源、(步驟2〇),以對使用者合宜地計費。Therefore, the present invention provides users with a simple method for changing application performance and / or billing by selecting or controlling service quality without requiring knowledge of the operating system or resource allocation calculation of the radio access network. It is particularly noteworthy that the same method of changing application performance is obviously applicable to a large number of different technologies for users, such as integrated packet radio service (GPRS), high-speed circuit-switched data (HSCSD), and multiple code division. Access (CDMA) and Wideband CDMA (W-CDMA). Performance changes can be controlled by the user, especially for users who are unaware of the network. Therefore, if a user is preparing to board a plane, enter a tunnel, or participate in a conference, and cannot communicate with the network at this time, according to the present invention, (3) 560214 can be used to complete a file download, for example. From user device to network) to the network. With enhanced power bar to ensure communication with the network, the present invention can also be used in the uplink direction (ie, for example, to send an email or other data. In addition, since the increased performance is directly controlled by the user, the user QoS can be controlled. Improved direct billing during the period. This can get additional income from companies or other high-end users who need higher quality of service. An exemplary method according to the present invention will now be described with reference to FIG. A specific embodiment of the invention will be described, in which the UE has a dedicated acceleration enhancement button for requesting improved QoS in a file download. However, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to this arrangement. In step 2, the user issues to the UE A request to download a file, for example, by clicking on the link # on the micro-micro browser page. After receiving the request, the operating system of the system establishes a connection with the wireless network and requests a preset service quality level (step 4). After receiving the request, the radio access network (RAN) of the wireless network allocates the necessary capacity to provide the requested service at the requested quality of service (step 6), and the UE starts downloading the requested file (step 8). The user must immediately notify that the requested download is in progress (step 10). This step can be performed by, for example, providing a data transmission on the UE display + Use the luxury. You may want to speed up the data transmission speed, for example, to complete the transmission before the machine 2 or enter the tunnel. If so, the user can activate the acceleration enhancement button provided by the UE (step 12). According to the acceleration enhancement button ㈣ Hostile, U ”seeks to increase the bandwidth w Μ volts for connection from the RAN (step M) β In addition, according to the activation of the boost button, the UE may indicate to the user that a comparison has been requested from the RAN; (4) Q560s temple level of 560214 (Bujin 丨 its department ^^ L —: — of lighting or call-information. ❹-发 ^ 极 体 ㈣ = == Request from UE in step 14, ran determines the request The second step ... is used, if the additional resource is available, it is allocated to the UE (step,). The AN also informs the billing system that the acceleration facility has used and allocated additional resources to the UE, (step 2) to Users are billed appropriately.

樓案下載現在以一更快的速度進行(步驟22)並且作為 使用加速設施的一結果,這種增加會通知給使用者(步驟 24),例如在進度完成列中資料傳輸的更快填充。 接著加速按鈕鬆開(步驟2 6)指示ue不再請求較高的 Q〇s。這可依據檔案下載的完成或使用者可在下載結束前 鬆開或解除該按鈕,例如,如果請求增強的服務品質的環 境已發生變化。隨著按鈕或開關的鬆開或解除,ue通知 RAN不再需要分配容量及Q〇s(步驟28),然後釋放分 配容量(步驟30)。RAN還通知計費系統加速設備的使用 已經停止(32),且使用者費率回復至以前設定。Building downloads are now performed at a faster rate (step 22) and as a result of using the acceleration facility, this increase is notified to the user (step 24), such as faster filling of data transfers in the progress completion column. Then the acceleration button is released (step 26) to indicate that ue no longer requests a higher Q0s. This can be based on the completion of the file download or the user can release or release the button before the download is complete, for example, if the environment for enhanced service quality has changed. As the button or switch is released or released, ue informs the RAN that it no longer needs to allocate capacity and Q0s (step 28), and then releases the allocated capacity (step 30). The RAN also notified the billing system that the use of the acceleration equipment had ceased (32) and that the user rate was restored to the previous setting.

雖然已參照服務品質的變化描述本發明以作一簡單應 用,但熟悉本技藝者應明白,該用戶設備具有能夠支援複 數個應用的一作業系統,並且本發明意圖使使用者可選擇 的服務品質對於每一應用是獨立的,也使使用者可選擇的 服務品質對於UE為一整體。 圖2顯不依照本發明的—用戶裝置(UE)。圖2係實施本發 明的一說明性用戶裝置2〇〇之一示意圖。熟悉本技藝者 能理解孩用戶裝置的各部分與為了清晰而省略的本發明 '10- 560214 (5) 的解釋無關。Although the present invention has been described for a simple application with reference to changes in service quality, those skilled in the art should understand that the user equipment has an operating system capable of supporting multiple applications, and the present invention intends to make the user selectable service quality It is independent for each application, and also enables the user-selectable service quality as a whole for the UE.
