Description

應用於大眾運輸系統中的網路連結建立方法Network connection establishment method applied in mass transit system

技術領域是有關於一種應用於大眾運輸系統中的預先規劃網路連結建立方法。The technical field is related to a pre-planned network link establishment method for use in a mass transit system.

隨著無線通訊技術的成熟與快速普及,隨時隨地(Anytime,Anywhere)連上網際網路已經被實現。使用者不只在企業、學校、家庭及公眾場館可以上網,使用者亦可於提供網路服務的大眾運輸載具內利用網路裝置(比如,筆記型電腦、個人數位助理等)來上網。基於IEEE 802.11所發展出來的無線區域網路(Wireless LAN;WLAN)在各式場所內已經被普遍的使用。由於使用費率低廉甚至免費、佈建容易,在現今,WLAN介面已是筆記型電腦或手持裝置的標準配備。然而WLAN的存取點(Access Point;AP)的覆蓋區域相對較小,且移動性支援時未充足,無線區域網路通常選擇使用作為短距離但高頻寬的熱點網路存取(Hot Spot Access)。With the maturity and rapid spread of wireless communication technology, anytime, anywhere (Anytime, Anywhere) has been connected to the Internet. Users can access the Internet not only in enterprises, schools, homes, and public venues. Users can also use the Internet devices (such as laptops, personal digital assistants, etc.) to access the Internet in public transportation vehicles that provide Internet services. Wireless LAN (WLAN) developed based on IEEE 802.11 has been widely used in various places. Due to the low usage rate, even free of charge, and easy deployment, the WLAN interface is now standard on notebook computers or handheld devices. However, the access point of the WLAN access point (AP) is relatively small, and the mobility support is not sufficient. The wireless local area network usually chooses to use hot spot network access (Shot Spot Access) as a short distance but high frequency. .

此外,行動電話業者也提供了數據服務以供使用者上網,例如3G/3.5G/Wimax等,其可視為一種無線廣域網路(WWAN,wireless wide area network)。WWAN的基地台(Base Station,BS)的覆蓋範圍大,且移動性支援較佳,但它的頻寬較小。考量WWAN規格的網路介面卡的成本與服務費率,成為一般大眾行動裝置的標準配備。In addition, mobile phone operators also provide data services for users to access the Internet, such as 3G/3.5G/Wimax, etc., which can be regarded as a wireless wide area network (WWAN). WWAN's Base Station (BS) has a large coverage area and good mobility support, but its bandwidth is small. Considering the cost and service rates of WWAN-compliant network interface cards, it is standard equipment for general-purpose mobile devices.

再者,大眾運輸載具在行駛過程中,使用者或行動路由器(Mobile Router,MR)可能會切換到不同性質的網路(比如,WWAN與WLAN間的切換),但以目前來說,重新建立網路連接需要的時間很冗長。在重新建立網路連線之前,使用者無法連線至網際網路。若是重新建立網路連線的時間越長,對使用者的干擾也就越大。Furthermore, during the driving process of the mass transit vehicle, the user or mobile router (MR) may switch to a network of different nature (for example, switching between WWAN and WLAN), but for now, re The time it takes to establish a network connection is lengthy. Users cannot connect to the Internet until the network connection is re-established. The longer the network connection is re-established, the greater the interference with the user.

故而,較好能有一種應用於大眾運輸載具的網路連結建立方法,其能縮短重新建立網路連線的時間。Therefore, it is better to have a method for establishing a network connection for a mass transit vehicle, which can shorten the time for reestablishing the network connection.

本揭露係有關於一種應用於大眾運輸載具的預先規劃網路連結建立方法,其基於大眾運輸載具的可預期移動行為特性,而實施預先排程行動支援機制,以縮短重新建立網路連線的時間。The present disclosure relates to a pre-planned network link establishment method for a mass transit vehicle that implements a pre-scheduling action support mechanism based on the predictable mobile behavior characteristics of the mass transit vehicle to shorten the re-establishment of the network connection The time of the line.

提出一種應用於大眾運輸系統中的網路連結建立方法實施範例。該方法用於建立一大眾運輸載具、一主網路與一拜訪網路間之網路連結;其中,該主網路具有一主代理器,該拜訪網路具有一拜訪代理器。該網路連結建立方法包括:在大眾運輸載具出發前預先建立該主代理器與該大眾運輸載具間之一第一通道;在大眾運輸載具出發前或是行進中但未到達拜訪代理器的負責場站前預先建立該主代理器與該拜訪代理器間之一第二通道;在該主代理器的協助下,該拜訪代理器在該大眾運輸載具未到達該負責場站前或是出發前預先授權給該大眾運輸載具,並分配該大眾運輸載具可用的一網路資源;在該主代理器的協助下,該大眾運輸載具在出發前或是尚未到達該負責場站前預先得知該拜訪代理器所配置的該網路資源,而且,在到達該負責場站前該大眾運輸載具預先完成對該拜訪代理器的一連結設定;以及當該大眾運輸載具移入該拜訪網路時,依到達前預先完成的該連結設定,該大眾運輸載具與該拜訪代理器間建立網路連線。An implementation example of a network connection establishment method applied in a mass transit system is proposed. The method is for establishing a mass transit vehicle, a network connection between a host network and a visited network; wherein the master network has a master agent, and the visited network has a visit agent. The method for establishing a network connection includes pre-establishing a first passage between the main agent and the mass transit vehicle before the mass transit vehicle is departed; before the public transport vehicle departs or travels but does not arrive at the visiting agent Responsible for the second channel before the station is pre-established between the main agent and the visiting agent; with the assistance of the main agent, the visiting agent does not arrive at the responsible station before the mass transit vehicle Or pre-authorize the mass transit vehicle before departure and assign a network resource available to the mass transit vehicle; with the assistance of the master agent, the mass transit vehicle is responsible for the departure or departure of the vehicle The network resource configured by the visiting agent is known in advance before the station, and the mass transit vehicle pre-completes a link setting to the visiting agent before reaching the responsible station; and when the mass transit carries When moving into the visited network, the public transportation vehicle establishes an internet connection with the visiting agent according to the connection setting pre-completed before arrival.

為讓本揭露之上述內容能更明顯易懂,下文特舉一實施例,並配合所附圖式,作詳細說明如下:In order to make the above content of the present disclosure more obvious and understandable, an embodiment will be described below, and the following description will be made in detail with reference to the following drawings:

在揭露實施例中,利用可預期的行程路徑,在載具開車前或是到達預定位置前預先建立網路連結,以預先進行認證授權(基地台連線權、網路使用權、金鑰等)及資源取得(頻寬、IP等)。以減少當行動路由器(Mobile Router,MR)或行動節點(Mobile Node,MN)改變連結點所導致的連結延遲與封包遺失。MR/MN知道在其目前位置上,其要連結哪一個子網路與使用何種資源。主代理器(Home Agent,HA)與拜訪代理器(Foreign Agent,FA)知道:MR/MN在哪個位置時會連結至哪一個子網路與使用何種資源。In the disclosed embodiment, the network link is pre-established before the vehicle is driven or before the predetermined position is utilized by using the expected travel path to pre-authorize the authentication (base station connection right, network usage right, key, etc.). ) and resource acquisition (bandwidth, IP, etc.). To reduce the link delay and packet loss caused by changing the connection point when the Mobile Router (MR) or Mobile Node (MN) changes. MR/MN knows which subnet to connect to and which resource to use in its current location. The Home Agent (HA) and the Visit Agent (FA) know which subnet to which the MR/MN is connected and which resources to use.

第1圖顯示根據一實施例的依既定行程移動之大眾運輸系統及其網路連結示意圖。如第1圖所示,大眾運輸載具100例如為高鐵、公共汽車、捷運及一般鐵路等,其都有專屬路權及場站。大眾運輸載具100依既定路線105及班表行駛。而且,在行駛時,大眾運輸載具100可以存取子網路120、130、140、150與160。大眾運輸載具100的位置資訊可由任何可行的方法得知,比如,全球位址系統(GPS)、設置於路線上的位置感應器、高鐵車子位置信號。或者,亦可透過大眾運輸載具100的行車時間而推算出大眾運輸載具100的目前位置。1 is a schematic diagram showing a mass transit system and its network connection moving according to a predetermined itinerary according to an embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the mass transit vehicle 100 is, for example, a high-speed rail, a bus, a MRT, and a general railway, and has exclusive road rights and stations. The mass transit vehicle 100 travels according to the established route 105 and the flight schedule. Moreover, the mass transit vehicle 100 can access the subnetworks 120, 130, 140, 150, and 160 while traveling. The location information of the mass transit vehicle 100 can be known by any feasible method, such as a global address system (GPS), a position sensor disposed on the route, and a high-speed rail car position signal. Alternatively, the current position of the mass transit vehicle 100 can be derived from the travel time of the mass transit vehicle 100.

大眾運輸載具100可提供網路存取服務給行動節點(mobile node,MN)110A與110B,以讓行動節點110A與110B可以上網。在網際網路上,一個節點如果常常改變其對網路的接點(point of attachment),稱為行動節點。即使網路正在通信中,接點仍可能改變。另外,行動節點可用有線或無線方式上網。比如,在第1圖中,行動節點110A與110B分別以有線與無線方式上網。The mass transit vehicle 100 can provide network access services to mobile nodes (MNs) 110A and 110B to allow mobile nodes 110A and 110B to access the Internet. On the Internet, a node, if it often changes its point of attachment to the network, is called a mobile node. The contacts may change even if the network is communicating. In addition, the mobile node can access the Internet in wired or wireless mode. For example, in Figure 1, mobile nodes 110A and 110B access the Internet in wired and wireless manner, respectively.

大眾運輸載具100內設置有行動路由器(Mobile Router,MR)101。MR 101至少擁有二種或以上的無線網路介面卡,具多種介面管理及異質網路存取能力,可對外連接上網。MR的WWAN介面卡可連接至WWAN(Wireless Wide Area Network,無線廣域網路);而其WLAN介面卡可連接至WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network,無線區域網路)。A mobile router (MR) 101 is disposed in the mass transit vehicle 100. The MR 101 has at least two or more wireless network interface cards, with multiple interface management and heterogeneous network access capabilities, and can be connected to the Internet. MR's WWAN interface card can be connected to a WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network); its WLAN interface card can be connected to a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network).

WWAN是指電信業者提供的數據網路,連線速率低,但基地台覆蓋區域大。此外,WWAN頻寬較小但可透過其服務網路隨時連接上網路,亦可稱為常時存取(AA,Always Access)網路。可連接至WWAN的無線網路介面卡例如3G/3.5G網路卡等。在第1圖中,子網路140、150與160為WWAN,而基地台(base station)141、151與161則是電信業者的基地台。WWAN refers to the data network provided by the telecom operators. The connection rate is low, but the coverage area of the base station is large. In addition, the WWAN has a small bandwidth but can be connected to the network at any time through its service network. It can also be called an Access Access (AA) network. A wireless network interface card that can be connected to the WWAN, such as a 3G/3.5G network card. In Figure 1, subnets 140, 150, and 160 are WWANs, and base stations 141, 151, and 161 are base stations for telecommunications carriers.

WLAN是指符合IEEE802.11技術規格的網路,連線速率高,但基地台覆蓋區域小。此外,WLAN的頻寬較大但只在某些固定的時間或地點方可存取網路,稱為熱點存取(Spot Access,SA)。可連接至WLAN的無線網路介面卡例例如為IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN網路卡。在第1圖中,子網路120與130屬於WLAN,而符號121與131則代表WLAN的存取點(AP,Access Point)。WLAN refers to a network that conforms to the IEEE802.11 technical specification, and has a high connection rate, but the coverage area of the base station is small. In addition, the WLAN has a large bandwidth but can access the network only at certain fixed times or places, called Spot Access (SA). An example of a wireless network interface card that can be connected to a WLAN is an IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN network card. In Figure 1, subnetworks 120 and 130 belong to the WLAN, while symbols 121 and 131 represent the access point (AP, Access Point) of the WLAN.

另外,場站122與132比如為高鐵的車站,而存取點121與131可分別設置於場站122與132內。此外,在本實施例中,存取點的設置位置未必要受限於場站內,亦可設置於行駛路線105的任何位置上,以讓MR 101可以連接至WLAN。Additionally, stations 122 and 132 are, for example, stations of high-speed rail, and access points 121 and 131 can be disposed within stations 122 and 132, respectively. Further, in the present embodiment, the setting position of the access point is not necessarily limited to the inside of the station, and may be set at any position of the traveling route 105 so that the MR 101 can be connected to the WLAN.

此外,MR 101可用任何網路介面,例如有線乙太網路或WLAN網路,來提供內部使用者(亦即MN 110A與110B)的網路存取服務,使得MN 110A與110B可透過MR 101而連接至網際網路。In addition, the MR 101 can provide network access services for internal users (ie, MNs 110A and 110B) using any network interface, such as a wired Ethernet or WLAN network, such that the MNs 110A and 110B can pass MR 101. And connect to the internet.

因為MR 101是位於大眾運輸載具100內,所以,MR101具備可預期的移動行為,依既定時程與路線(比如路線105)規律地移動。Because the MR 101 is located within the mass transit vehicle 100, the MR 101 has predictable movement behavior that moves regularly in accordance with both the schedule and the route (e.g., route 105).

MR 101除可隨時連接AA網路(WWAN網路)外,在已知的場站可短暫連上SA網路(WLAN網路)。為讓MR 101連接至SA網路,SA網路(亦即子網路120與130)備有供MR 101連結的存取點(亦即存取點121與131)。連線參數最好能事先規劃設定,以使得MR 101能順利連接SA網路。連線參數比如但不受限於,無線網路識別碼(SSID ,Service Set Identifier)、頻道、驗證方法與密碼等。In addition to being connected to the AA network (WWAN network) at any time, the MR 101 can be connected to the SA network (WLAN network) for a short time at a known station. To connect the MR 101 to the SA network, the SA network (i.e., sub-networks 120 and 130) is provided with access points (i.e., access points 121 and 131) for the MR 101 to connect. The connection parameters are preferably planned in advance so that the MR 101 can successfully connect to the SA network. Connection parameters such as, but not limited to, a wireless network identifier ( SSID , Service Set Identifier), channel, authentication method, and password.

MR 101的主位址(Home Address)是可預先規劃的。MR 101位於SA網路內所用的IP位址,及連接至MR 101的拜訪代理器(Foreign Agent,FA)的IP位址也是可預先得知的。The home address of the MR 101 is pre-planned. The IP address of the MR 101 located in the SA network and the IP address of the Visit Agent (FA) connected to the MR 101 are also known in advance.

由第1圖可知,在大眾運輸載具100的行駛過程中,MR 101隨時可經由廣泛覆蓋但窄頻寬的AA網路(140、150與160)連上網路。當大眾運輸載具100進入並定點短暫停留於場站121與131時,MR 101可經由覆蓋範圍較小但高頻寬的SA網路(120與130)連上網路。As can be seen from Figure 1, during travel of the mass transit vehicle 100, the MR 101 can be connected to the network via a widely covered but narrow bandwidth AA network (140, 150 and 160). When the mass transit vehicle 100 enters and stops at the stations 121 and 131 for a short time, the MR 101 can be connected to the network via a small but high frequency wide SA network (120 and 130).

一實施例揭露預先排程移動支援機制(pre-scheduled mobility supporting mechanism),以下將說明其具體實施方式手段範例。An embodiment discloses a pre-scheduled mobility supporting mechanism, and an example of a specific embodiment thereof will be described below.

為達成預先排程移動支援機制,在一實施例中,使用預先架構好的資料結構,稱為轉交表格(Care-of Table)。轉交表格乃是依車次班表事先建立的,而且管理者依網路參數來設定此轉交表格的各欄位。此轉交表格記錄有每一班車(亦即大眾運輸載具100)上的MR的主位址(MR_HoA)及其WLAN的網卡位址(MR_MAC),此MR的主位址MR_HoA是預先規劃好的。To achieve a pre-scheduled mobile support mechanism, in one embodiment, a pre-architected data structure, called a Care-of Table, is used. The transfer form is established in advance according to the schedule of the train, and the manager sets the fields of the transfer form according to the network parameters. The transfer form records the primary address (MR_HoA) of the MR and the WLAN address (MR_MAC) of the WLAN on each shuttle (ie, the mass transit vehicle 100). The MR's primary address MR_HoA is pre-planned. .

此外,在該車次預定停留的各場站內(比如,第1圖的場站122與132)內建置有SA網路(子網路120與130)及拜訪代理器(Foreign Agent,FA)。此拜訪代理器的IP位址(FA_CoA)亦記於轉交表格內。而且,SA網路內的AP的MAC位址(FA_MAC)亦記錄在轉交表格內,其中,AP會連接至MR。更甚者,連線參數(如SSID)、認證金鑰(key)、FA所管轄的AP資訊、MR所需要的網路資訊(如頻寬、服務伺服器等資訊)亦可記錄在轉交表格內。In addition, SA networks (sub-networks 120 and 130) and visiting agents (Foreign Agents, FA) are built in each station where the train is scheduled to stay (for example, stations 122 and 132 in FIG. 1). . The IP address (FA_CoA) of this visited agent is also recorded in the transfer form. Moreover, the MAC address (FA_MAC) of the AP in the SA network is also recorded in the handover form, where the AP is connected to the MR. What's more, the connection parameters (such as SSID), the authentication key (key), the AP information under the jurisdiction of the FA, and the network information (such as bandwidth, service server, etc.) required by the MR can also be recorded in the handover form. Inside.

下表1顯示轉交表格的一例:Table 1 below shows an example of a referral form:

在上表1中,Rt代表大眾運輸載具的行程中所預計停留的場站(也就是路徑資訊)。In Table 1 above, Rt represents the station (ie, route information) expected to stay in the itinerary of the Volkswagen Transportation Vehicle.

在一實施例中,轉交表格可由管理者手動設定之,或者利用下列方法來自動設定之。現請參考第2圖,其顯示根據一實施例的自動設定轉交表格的示意圖。In one embodiment, the referral form can be manually set by the administrator or automatically set using the following methods. Reference is now made to Fig. 2, which shows a schematic diagram of an automatic setting of a handover form in accordance with an embodiment.

在第2圖中,主代理器(HA)210是位於主網路(home network)上的某一台主機。經由HA 210,網路上的其他主機會覺得MN或MR是隨時都可以存取的。主網路是指,對於行動節點/MR有管理權的網路。對網際網路上的其他主機而言,不論行動節點及/或MR的目前位址為何,行動節點及/或MR看起來都是接在此主網路。主代理器(HA)會提供固定的主位址(HoA:Home Address)給行動節點及/或MR。當網際網路上的其他主機傳送資料給行動節點及/或MR時,只須知道主位址,不須知道行動節點及/或MR的目前暫時位址。In Figure 2, the primary agent (HA) 210 is a host located on the home network. Via the HA 210, other hosts on the network will feel that the MN or MR is accessible at all times. The primary network refers to a network that has administrative rights to the mobile node/MR. For other hosts on the Internet, regardless of the current address of the mobile node and/or MR, the mobile node and/or MR appear to be connected to the primary network. The master agent (HA) provides a fixed primary address (HoA: Home Address) to the mobile node and/or MR. When other hosts on the Internet transmit data to the mobile node and/or MR, they only need to know the primary address and do not need to know the current temporary address of the mobile node and/or MR.

拜訪代理器(FA)220、230與240是位於拜訪網路(Foreign Network)上的主機,可代理收送MN/MR所接發的封包。對於行動節點及/或MR而言,除了主網路之外,其他能夠連接上的網路,就稱為拜訪網路。當行動節點及/或MR不在主網路上(亦即,其位於拜訪網路)時,行動節點及/或MR在網路上的接點的IP位址稱為轉交位址(CoA,Care-of-Address)。此外,當行動節點及/或MR不在主網路上(亦即,其位於拜訪網路)時,行動節點及/或MR會採用FA的IP作為本身的轉交位址。The Visiting Agents (FA) 220, 230, and 240 are hosts located on the Foreign Network, and can proxy the packets sent by the MN/MR. For mobile nodes and/or MRs, in addition to the main network, other networks that can be connected are called visited networks. When the mobile node and/or the MR are not on the primary network (ie, it is located on the visited network), the IP address of the mobile node and/or the contact of the MR on the network is called the care-of address (CoA, Care-of). -Address). In addition, when the mobile node and/or MR are not on the primary network (ie, it is located on the visited network), the mobile node and/or MR will use the IP of the FA as its own care-of address.

行動節點及/或MR需將其目前所使用的轉交位址告知主代理器,此動作稱為登錄(registration)。The mobile node and/or the MR need to inform the master agent of the care-of address that it is currently using. This action is called registration.

另外,拜訪代理器(FA)所能管理的存取點(AP)可為一個或多個。如第2圖所示,拜訪代理器220與240分別管理存取點222與242,而拜訪代理器230則管理兩個存取點232與233。In addition, the Access Point (AP) that the Visiting Agent (FA) can manage may be one or more. As shown in FIG. 2, the visiting agents 220 and 240 manage the access points 222 and 242, respectively, and the visiting agent 230 manages the two access points 232 and 233.

此外,預先設定好的轉交表格會記錄於主代理器、沿線上的所有拜訪代理器、行動節點及/或MR之內。如第2圖所示,轉交表格211、221、231、241與251分別記錄於主代理器210、拜訪代理器220、230、240與MR 101之內。In addition, pre-set referral forms are recorded in the main agent, all visiting agents along the line, the mobile node, and/or MR. As shown in FIG. 2, the handover forms 211, 221, 231, 241, and 251 are recorded in the main agent 210, the visit agents 220, 230, 240, and the MR 101, respectively.

現將說明如何自動設定轉交表格。第3圖顯示根據一實施例的自動設定轉交表格的流程示意圖。在本實施例中,於大眾運輸載具100出發前或是大眾運輸載具100到達沿線上的下一個FA前,會預先建立好轉交表格(亦即,預先建立主代理器與大眾運輸載具間之通道;預先建立主代理器與拜訪代理器間之通道;拜訪代理器預先授權給大眾運輸載具,並分配大眾運輸載具可用的網路資源;大眾運輸載具預先得知拜訪代理器所配置的網路資源,而且,大眾運輸載具預先完成對拜訪代理器的連結設定)。底下以大眾運輸載具100出發前即預先建立好轉交表格為例做說明,當知本發明並不受限於此。It will now explain how to automatically set the referral form. Figure 3 shows a flow diagram of an automatic setup of a handover form in accordance with an embodiment. In this embodiment, before the departure of the mass transit vehicle 100 or before the mass transit vehicle 100 reaches the next FA along the line, a referral form is established in advance (ie, the master agent and the mass transit vehicle are pre-established). a channel between the main agent and the visiting agent; the visiting agent pre-authorizes the mass transit vehicle and allocates the network resources available to the mass transit vehicle; the mass transit vehicle knows the visiting agent in advance The configured network resources, and the mass transit vehicle pre-completes the connection settings to the visiting agent). The following is an example of pre-establishing a transfer form before the departure of the mass transit vehicle 100, and it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto.

如第3圖所示,首先,主代理器210取得MR 101的轉交表格中的資訊,比如,MR_CoA、MR_MAC、連線參數、認證金鑰、各停靠站(亦即各FA)的IP位址(FA_CoA)及MAC位址(FA_MAC)等。接著,主代理器210分配MR 101的主位址,並將所分配的主位址告知MR101。接著,MR 101會啟動其AA介面(比如,3G/3.5G/Wimax等網路介面卡),以取得其在AA子網路上的轉交位址(AA_CoA)並備妥與AA子網路之間的連線,之後,MR 101向主代理器210註冊此AA子網路轉交位址(AA_CoA)。經由AA網路,建立MR 101與主代理器210之間的通道(tunnel)。MR 101與主代理器210間的溝通如步驟310所示。As shown in FIG. 3, first, the master agent 210 obtains information in the handover table of the MR 101, for example, MR_CoA, MR_MAC, connection parameters, authentication key, and IP address of each stop (ie, each FA). (FA_CoA) and MAC address (FA_MAC), etc. Next, the master agent 210 assigns the primary address of the MR 101 and informs the MR 101 of the assigned primary address. Next, MR 101 will launch its AA interface (for example, 3G/3.5G/Wimax network interface card) to get its transfer address (AA_CoA) on the AA subnet and prepare it with the AA subnet. After the connection, MR 101 registers the AA subnet care-of address (AA_CoA) with the master agent 210. A tunnel between the MR 101 and the master agent 210 is established via the AA network. The communication between MR 101 and master agent 210 is as shown in step 310.

接著,由起點站往終點站的方向,由於主代理器210已得知各停靠站(亦即各FA)的IP位址(FA_CoA)及MAC位址(FA_MAC),所以,主代理器210在MR 101開車前或是行進間但尚未到達預定位置前預先建立對數個FA(如FA 220、230與240)之間的通道。主代理器210與FA220、230與240間的溝通如步驟320A~320C所示。Then, from the starting station to the destination station, since the master agent 210 has learned the IP address (FA_CoA) and the MAC address (FA_MAC) of each of the stopping stations (ie, each FA), the master agent 210 is The MR 101 pre-establishes a passage between a number of FAs (e.g., FAs 220, 230, and 240) before driving or while traveling but not yet reaching the predetermined position. The communication between the master agent 210 and the FAs 220, 230, and 240 is as shown in steps 320A-320C.

之後,主代理器210將MR 101的轉交表格中的相關資訊(如MR_CoA及MR_MAC)通知各FA,如步驟330A~330C所示。藉此,以讓各FA預先授權及設定MR可用的網路資源。Thereafter, the master agent 210 notifies each FA of related information (such as MR_CoA and MR_MAC) in the handover table of the MR 101, as shown in steps 330A-330C. In this way, each FA is pre-authorized and set the network resources available to the MR.

之後,主代理器210將各停靠站的FA_CoA及FA_MAC通知MR 101,如步驟340所示。藉此,MR 101可預先得到FA的授權並得知FA配置給MR 101的網路資源,而且,MR 101可預先完成對FA的連結設定。Thereafter, the master agent 210 notifies the MR 101 of the FA_CoA and FA_MAC of each of the docking stations, as shown in step 340. Thereby, the MR 101 can obtain the authorization of the FA in advance and know the network resources allocated by the FA to the MR 101, and the MR 101 can complete the connection setting of the FA in advance.

至此,已在MR101進入停靠站前預先完成轉交表格的設定,及預先建立通道(主代理器與大眾運輸載具間之通道,及主代理器與拜訪代理器間之通道);拜訪代理器預先授權給大眾運輸載具,並分配大眾運輸載具可用的網路資源;大眾運輸載具預先得知拜訪代理器所配置的網路資源,而且,大眾運輸載具預先完成對拜訪代理器的連結設定。At this point, the transfer form has been pre-completed before the MR101 enters the stop, and the channel is established in advance (the passage between the main agent and the mass transit vehicle, and the passage between the main agent and the visit agent); Authorizes the mass transit vehicle and allocates the network resources available to the mass transit vehicle; the mass transit vehicle knows in advance the network resources configured by the visiting agent, and the mass transit vehicle pre-completes the link to the visiting agent set up.

底下,將說明列車運行階段中,如何設定網路連線。Below, it will explain how to set up the network connection during the train operation phase.

當大眾運輸載具100進站時,MR 101與該站內的FA依事先取得的MR_MAC及FA_MAC來快速建立SA網路連線。MR 101與該站內的FA之間的資料傳遞,不需再經IP路由,可直接使用鏈結層(layer 2)進行傳送(forwarding)。When the mass transit vehicle 100 enters the station, the MR 101 and the FA in the station quickly establish an SA network connection according to the previously obtained MR_MAC and FA_MAC. The data transmission between the MR 101 and the FA in the station can be directly forwarded using the layer 2 layer without IP routing.

此外,已過站的FA與主代理器之間的通道可以被停用。比如,當大眾運輸載具通過FA 220而開往FA 230時,FA 220與主代理器210之間的通道可以被停用。In addition, the channel between the over-the-air FA and the master agent can be deactivated. For example, when the mass transit vehicle is routed to the FA 230 via the FA 220, the passage between the FA 220 and the main agent 210 can be deactivated.

主代理器會依需求而增建對行駛方向上的下一個FA間之通道。The main agent will add a channel to the next FA in the direction of travel as required.

此外,若MR的AA子網路轉交位址(AA_CoA)有變動,則MR需重新向主代理器註冊新的AA_CoA並重建雙方之間的通道。In addition, if the MR's AA subnet forwarding address (AA_CoA) changes, the MR needs to re-register the new AA_CoA with the master agent and re-establish the channel between the two parties.

在MR/MN(亦即大眾運輸載具)抵達路程上的下一FA之前,MR/MN已知道下一FA的資訊(如FA_CoA、FA_MAC等),且MR/MN也已知道下一FA配置給MR/MN的資源,並完成網路設定。而且,下一FA也知道MN的資訊,及其要配置給MR/MN的資源。Before the next FA on the arrival path of the MR/MN (ie the mass transit vehicle), the MR/MN already knows the information of the next FA (eg FA_CoA, FA_MAC, etc.), and the MR/MN also knows the next FA configuration. Give the MR/MN resources and complete the network settings. Moreover, the next FA also knows the information of the MN and its resources to be allocated to the MR/MN.

此外,當大眾運輸載具100之行程有變動,比如,大眾運輸載具100要經過新的場站(此新的場站包括新的拜訪代理器與新的AP),在此,“新場站”是指原本不在行程規劃中的場站。在本實施例中,會依上述做法,預先建立主代理器與新拜訪代理器間之通道;新拜訪代理器預先授權給大眾運輸載具,並分配大眾運輸載具可用的網路資源;大眾運輸載具預先得知新拜訪代理器所配置的網路資源,而且,大眾運輸載具預先完成對新拜訪代理器的連結設定)。如此一來,當大眾運輸載具停靠(或經過)此新場站時,大眾運輸載具與新拜訪代理器間可迅速建立網路連線。In addition, when the itinerary of the mass transit vehicle 100 changes, for example, the mass transit vehicle 100 has to go through a new station (this new station includes a new visiting agent and a new AP), here, "new field "Station" means a station that was not originally in the itinerary planning. In this embodiment, the channel between the master agent and the new agent is pre-established according to the above-mentioned method; the new agent is pre-authorized to the mass transit vehicle, and the network resources available for the mass transit vehicle are allocated; The transport vehicle knows in advance the network resources configured by the new visit agent, and the mass transit vehicle pre-completes the connection settings for the new visit agent. In this way, when the mass transit vehicle stops (or passes) the new station, a network connection can be quickly established between the mass transit vehicle and the new visiting agent.

根據一實施例的預先排程行動支援機制,為HA與MR之間的傳送建立數個通道;其中,這些通道之一是經由AA網路,其餘通道則是經由SA網路。在大眾運輸載具尚未到達之前,SA網路內的FA的轉送通道是非即時的,且不能同時地連通MR。According to an embodiment of the pre-scheduling action support mechanism, a plurality of channels are established for the transfer between the HA and the MR; wherein one of the channels is via the AA network and the remaining channels are via the SA network. The transfer path of the FA in the SA network is not instantaneous until the mass transit vehicle has arrived, and the MR cannot be connected at the same time.

但在本實施例中,可先將資料(封包)預先傳送FA,一旦MR移入SA網路,MR即可快速取得資料。現請參考第4圖,其顯示根據一實施例的封包傳送示意圖。如第4圖所示,在HA 210收到MR 101所需的封包後,HA 210可透過通道而將此封包送至某些FA(如FA 220、230與240),如步驟410A~410C所示。接著,FA會進行封包解封裝(de-tunnel),以知道此封包是要送給哪一個MR(比如MR 101),如步驟420所示。接著,當MR 101移入某一個FA(如FA 220)所管轄的SA網路後,MR 101會通知此FA,如步驟430所示。接著,FA會將封包送給MR 101,如步驟440所示。However, in this embodiment, the data (packet) can be transmitted to the FA in advance, and once the MR is moved into the SA network, the MR can quickly acquire the data. Reference is now made to Fig. 4, which shows a schematic diagram of packet transmission in accordance with an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, after the HA 210 receives the packet required by the MR 101, the HA 210 can send the packet to some FAs (such as FA 220, 230, and 240) through the channel, as in steps 410A-410C. Show. Next, the FA performs a packet de-tunnel to know which MR (such as MR 101) the packet is to be sent, as shown in step 420. Next, after the MR 101 moves into the SA network governed by a certain FA (such as FA 220), the MR 101 notifies the FA as shown in step 430. Next, the FA will send the packet to the MR 101, as shown in step 440.

隨著列車之行進,HA與FA之間的通道將會往前預建,而已過站的FA與主代理器之間的通道則可以被關閉。這些轉送通道係指,由HA將原本欲傳送給MR的資料先傳給FA,而FA能辨認出並再轉送給MR。轉送通道例如IP in IP tunnel、Routing Header等。在本實施例中,雖有多條轉送通道,但這些轉送通道都能保持透通性,亦即MR的IP位址與接點的IP位址不會因轉送而被更改。As the train travels, the passage between the HA and the FA will be pre-built, and the passage between the over-the-go FA and the main agent can be closed. These transfer channels mean that the data originally intended to be transmitted to the MR is first transmitted to the FA by the HA, and the FA can recognize and transfer it to the MR. Transfer channels such as IP in IP tunnel, Routing Header, etc. In this embodiment, although there are multiple transfer channels, these transfer channels can maintain transparency, that is, the IP address of the MR and the IP address of the contact are not changed by the transfer.

綜上所述,因為WLAN與WWAN都是基於IP網路架構,而MR具備多個及多樣式的無線網路介面卡,經無線廣域網路(WWAN)連接上網的部份,可用WWAN介面卡連上行動電話業者的數據網路,形成MR隨時可用的存取通道,稱為AA,但其頻寬較窄。然而MR的WLAN介面在短暫進站的停留時間內可連上高頻寬的SA網路。故而,MR大部分時間都只有低頻寬的AA網路可用。此外,在其他實施例中,FA(SA網路)未必只能設置於場站內,也就是說,FA(SA網路)也可設置於非場站的其他位置。In summary, because both WLAN and WWAN are based on IP network architecture, MR has multiple and multi-style wireless network interface cards, and the part that is connected to the Internet via wireless wide area network (WWAN) can be connected by WWAN interface card. The mobile phone's data network forms a ready-to-use access channel for MR, called AA, but its bandwidth is narrow. However, the WLAN interface of the MR can be connected to a high-bandwidth SA network during a short inbound stop time. Therefore, most of the time MR has only a low-frequency wide AA network available. In addition, in other embodiments, the FA (SA network) may not be set only in the station, that is, the FA (SA network) may also be placed at other locations other than the station.

在本實施例中,面對大眾運輸載具100內眾多且多樣的服務需求,除了需考量異質網路(Heterogeneous Network)的整合問題外,更要考慮上網服務品質。In this embodiment, in view of the numerous and diverse service demands in the mass transit vehicle 100, in addition to considering the integration problem of the heterogeneous network (Heterogeneous Network), it is also necessary to consider the quality of the Internet service.

在行駛過程中,MR對SA網路的連線並不是連續的,故而,在本實施例中,藉由預先排程行動支援機制以減少MR與SA網路間重新建立連線所造成的延遲。During the driving process, the connection of the MR to the SA network is not continuous. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the delay caused by re-establishing the connection between the MR and the SA network is reduced by the pre-scheduling action support mechanism. .

在一實施例中,行動節點(Mobile Node;MN)或MR可以一直使用固定IP位址(即主位址(HoA)),無論其在那個網域或者是使用何種無線通訊介面。如此一來便可以解決換手和漫遊的問題,由於IP沒有改變,所以當MN/MR在不同的無線網路介面間切換時,所有的IP連線都不會中斷,也不會影響上層應用程式的運作。In an embodiment, the Mobile Node (MN) or MR may always use a fixed IP address (ie, a Primary Address (HoA)), regardless of which wireless communication interface it is in that domain. In this way, the problem of handoff and roaming can be solved. Since the IP does not change, when the MN/MR switches between different wireless network interfaces, all IP connections are not interrupted, and the upper application is not affected. The operation of the program.

但是在大眾運輸工具的情況下,可能會有許多使用者同時上網,這時若交由各使用者(亦即各MN)分別進行註冊(也就是換手),會增加許多負擔。因此在本實施例中,由MR來進行換手。藉此,本實施例可以解決換手問題。However, in the case of mass transit vehicles, there may be many users accessing the Internet at the same time. In this case, if each user (ie, each MN) registers separately (that is, changes hands), there will be a lot of burden. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the hand is changed by the MR. Thereby, the embodiment can solve the problem of handoff.

此外,由於行駛過程中,大眾運輸載具100會短暫進站(122或132),此時,大眾運輸載具100可以有效地使用短暫可用的高頻寬SA網路的需要。這是因為:(1)啟用WLAN之延遲已被縮短;(2)MR具有調解不同需求之能力。其詳細解釋如下。In addition, since the mass transit vehicle 100 will briefly enter (122 or 132) during travel, the mass transit vehicle 100 can effectively utilize the need for a short-lived high-bandwidth SA network. This is because: (1) the delay to enable WLAN has been shortened; (2) MR has the ability to mediate different needs. Its detailed explanation is as follows.

(1)啟用WLAN之延遲已被縮短:由於已預先排程,所以,在出發之前,MR的WLAN介面完成IP設定後,已預先向主代理器註冊其在拜訪網路(比如,SA網路)所取得的IP位址(即轉交位址,Care-of-Address(CoA)),如此,可減少鏈結層及網路層的啟用延遲時間。(1) The WLAN-enabled delay has been shortened: since it has been pre-scheduled, the MR WLAN interface has been registered with the host agent in advance to access the network (for example, the SA network) before the departure. The obtained IP address (ie, the Care-of-Address (CoA)), thus reducing the activation delay time of the link layer and the network layer.

(2)MR具有調解不同需求之能力:大眾運輸載具100內的使用者(比如MN 110A與110B)之需求各異。當有重量型的需求發生時,比如,某一位使用者正在ftp檔案時,因AA網路頻寬有限,將會對所有使用者造成影響。所以,在本實施例中,於SA網路可用時,才來送出這些重量型的需求。因本實施例已減少網路後端的延遲,所以,有重量型需求的使用者已經可有效地使用短暫可用的高頻寬SA網路。(2) MR has the ability to mediate different needs: the needs of users within the mass transit vehicle 100 (such as MN 110A and 110B) vary. When there is a heavy demand, for example, when a user is in the ftp file, the bandwidth of the AA network will be limited, which will affect all users. Therefore, in the present embodiment, these weight type requirements are delivered when the SA network is available. Since the delay of the network backend has been reduced in this embodiment, users with heavy-duty requirements can effectively use the short-lived high-bandwidth SA network.

在一實施例中,可縮減連接上SA網路的延遲並充分利用SA網路的高頻寬來滿足重量型的需求,提升MR的服務品質。In an embodiment, the delay of the SA network on the connection can be reduced and the high frequency width of the SA network can be fully utilized to meet the weight requirement and improve the service quality of the MR.

在本實施例中,藉由使用轉交表格,MR、HA及各FA之間事先知道彼此的存在及即將來訪的MR的各項連線參數。MR於各FA(或是各SA網路)間移動時,代理器發現(Agent Discovery)及登錄(Registration)程序可省略。各通道於使用前甚至是在發車前即已建立完成。此外,列車的行蹤可被掌握,因此列車進出站的時程與跟FA連線的時程是可得知的,因此習知技術所使用的複雜時序判定(timeout)機制也不需必要,定期的連結更新(Binding Update)也可省去。In the present embodiment, by using the handover form, the presence of each other and the connection parameters of the upcoming MR are known in advance between the MR, the HA, and the respective FAs. When the MR moves between FAs (or SA networks), the Agent Discovery and Registration procedures can be omitted. Each channel is established before use or even before departure. In addition, the track of the train can be mastered, so the time course of the train entering and leaving the station and the time course of connecting with the FA are known, so the complex timeout mechanism used by the prior art is not necessary, regular The Binding Update can also be omitted.

本實施例可大幅縮減MR連上SA網路的延遲,其原因有三:This embodiment can greatly reduce the delay of the MR connected to the SA network for three reasons:

(1)使用轉交表格來簡化管理與控制程序,只要建立用於傳遞資料的通道即可。(1) Use the hand-over form to simplify the management and control procedures, as long as the channel for transferring data is established.

(2)由於可以預先規劃並設定MR的主位址,所以不需執行IP層的重覆位址檢測(Duplicate Address Detection,DAD)。(2) Since the primary address of the MR can be planned and set in advance, there is no need to perform Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) of the IP layer.

(3)轉交表格不僅有助於縮短網路層(layer 3)的連線延遲,也可同時提供鏈結層(layer 2)的連線參數,同樣地可減少鏈結層的連線延遲。另外FA可事先得知MR的主位址及WLAN介面的MAC位址,FA傳送資料給MR時,兩者之間可直接作鏈結層的遞送(Forwarding),不需多作ARP查詢程序。(3) The handover form not only helps to shorten the connection delay of the network layer (layer 3), but also provides the connection parameters of the layer 2 layer, which can also reduce the connection delay of the link layer. In addition, the FA can know the main address of the MR and the MAC address of the WLAN interface in advance. When the FA transmits the data to the MR, the two can directly perform the forwarding of the link layer (Forwarding), and no need to perform the ARP query procedure.

此外,本實施例更具有下列優點:(1)沒有搜尋延遲:因為已事先規劃,所以MR不需找尋AP與FA;(2)沒有授權、認證延遲:授權在車班出發前已完成,不需等到車班進站後才授權,故沒有授權、認證所導致的延遲;(3)沒有網路層延遲:網路層延遲是因為HA要動態指定MR的IP位址所導致,在本實施例中,MR的IP位址是固定的;(4)沒有位置更新延遲:由MN主動將其目前位置告知HA;(5)降低封包傳輸延遲:由於HA事先將封包送至FA,等到MR進入到FA的管轄範圍後,FA就可立即將封包送至MR,所以,可降低封包傳輸延遲;(6)縮短連結時間:因為已減少許多類型的延遲,所以,MR與FA間的連結時間可以被縮短,使得MR可以善用FA的網路頻寬;(7)簡易實現且低成本:實施本實施例並不需要額外其他硬體成本,故而,本實施例簡易實現且低成本;(8)可結合應用層的規劃(scheduling)。In addition, this embodiment has the following advantages: (1) no search delay: MR has no need to find AP and FA because it has been planned in advance; (2) no authorization, authentication delay: authorization is completed before departure, no It is not authorized until the train station enters the station, so there is no delay caused by authorization and authentication. (3) There is no network layer delay: the network layer delay is caused by the HA to dynamically specify the IP address of the MR. In the example, the IP address of the MR is fixed; (4) there is no location update delay: the MN actively informs the current location of the HA; (5) reduces the packet transmission delay: since the HA sends the packet to the FA in advance, waits until the MR enters After FA's jurisdiction, FA can immediately send the packet to MR, so it can reduce the packet transmission delay; (6) shorten the connection time: because many types of delay have been reduced, the connection time between MR and FA can be It is shortened, so that the MR can make good use of the network bandwidth of the FA; (7) simple implementation and low cost: the implementation of the embodiment does not require additional hardware costs, so the embodiment is simple to implement and low cost; ) can be combined with the planning of the application layer.

綜上所述,雖然已以實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明。所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離發明之精神和範圍內,當可作各種之更動與潤飾。因此,本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。In summary, although the above has been disclosed by way of example, it is not intended to limit the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
