Definitions
- the following description relates to an apparatus and method for originating a call by substitute communication network when originating a call in a communication network is barred.
- LTE Long Term Evolution
- 3G third-generation
- LTE is also referred to as 3.9 generation (3.9G) mobile communication as a technology positioned between the 3G mobile communication represented by a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), a code division multiple access (CDMA) 2000, etc. and the fourth-generation (4G) mobile communication, and is one of leading candidates for the 4G mobile communication technology.
- WCDMA wideband code division multiple access
- CDMA code division multiple access
- 4G fourth-generation
- an LTE network system is a data-dedicated network configured by an all-IP network
- the LTE network system supports only a packet switching (PS) network but does not support a voice call that is transmittable through a circuit switching (CS) network.
- PS packet switching
- CS circuit switching
- VoIP Voice over Long Term Evolution
- IMS IP multimedia subsystem
- the VoLTE serves not only a data call but also a voice call through a PS network.
- the LTE network base station additionally needs to process voice calls.
- users may not be able to use not only a data call but also a voice call.
- calling services of some portable terminals may be barred. In such a case, some users may not be able to use any call originating services of their portable terminals.
- a portable terminal is registered in an LTE network. After the portable terminal performs a cell search to search for a communicable base station, the portable terminal and the cell are synchronized with each other. After the synchronization, the portable terminal acquires a physical layer identity (ID) of the cell and searches for cell frame timing, whereby the portable terminal may be registered in the LTE network.
- ID physical layer identity
- the portable terminal receives system information block 2 (SIB2) messages at regular time intervals.
- SIB2 message includes cell information that is needed for a portable terminal to appropriately operate within a corresponding cell and necessary information for barring the call of a portable terminal belonging to the cell.
- an originating call barring message if an originating call barring message is present within the SIB2 message, the portable terminal stores the originating call barring message.
- An originating call barring message includes an ac-BarringInfo message, and the ac-BarringInfo message includes ac-BarringForEmergency, ac-BarringForMO-Signalling, and ac-BarringForMO-Data Information Element (IE).
- ac-BarringForMO-Signalling and ac-BarringForMO-Data IE include ac-BarringConfig IE, and ac-BarringConfig IE includes sub-IEs ac-BarringFactor, ac-BarringTime, and ac-BarringForSpecialAC.
- ac-BarringFactor has numbers (for example, 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.15 to 0.95) within a range equal to or larger than zero and smaller than one, [0,1).
- ac-BarringTime has a value between 4 seconds to 512 seconds.
- the portable terminal receives a request for originating a call from a user input. For example, the user inputs a text to the portable terminal and requests the transmission for sending a message. The portable terminal determines whether a VoLTE connection may be made to a corresponding cell based on the user's request for originating a call.
- the portable terminal checks whether the ac-BarringForMO-Data IE is present within the ac-BarringInfo message.
- the portable terminal tries to originate a call using the LTE cell.
- an access classes (AC) value stored in a USIM of the portable terminal is checked to determine whether the AC value has a value in the range of 11 to 15. If the AC value has a value in the range of 11 to 15, in operation S 18 the portable terminal tries to originate a call using the LTE cell.
- AC access classes
- the portable terminal checks if the difference between a random value and the ac-BarringFactor value is greater than zero.
- the random value represents a random number that is generated in the range of 0 to 1 at the same probability and is internally generated by the portable terminal.
- operation S 18 the portable terminal tries to originate a call in a corresponding LTE cell.
- operation S 17 if the difference in S 16 is greater than zero, originating a call from the portable terminal is barred in the corresponding cell. The barring of the originating call continues for a predetermined time at a specific probability until the ac-BarringForMO-Data IE is no longer received through the SIB2 message.
- originating a call from a portable terminal by an arbitrary user within the cell may be barred. Since originating a call includes not only a data call but also a voice call, an arbitrary user within a cell where originating a call is barred may not use most of the data communication services.

- the LTE network system includes VoLTE, which is a communication method acquired by profiling CSFB and IMS as discussed above.
- VoLTE has a frequency bandwidth wider than that of the 3G voice phone call and has superior call quality by using a high-quality voice codec. Accordingly, a call connect time is markedly shorter than that of 3G mobile communication system, and a voice phone call may be switched to a video phone call.
- a photograph, a video, position information, etc. may be easily shared during a voice phone call.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a portable terminal 100 including a reception unit 110 , a storage unit 120 , a control unit 140 , a communication mode switching unit 150 , a cell searching unit 160 , a cell selecting unit 170 , an input unit 130 , and a transmission unit 180 , according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- the reception unit 110 receives messages, information, etc. that are necessary to the communication of a portable terminal 100 from a base station.
- a physical channel for transmitting common information such as the configuration of a cell is necessary, and when a portable terminal 100 selects a specific cell, the portable terminal 100 may perform communication after receiving system information relating to the selected cell through the physical channel.

- the storage unit 120 stores data for the operation of the portable terminal 100 , including information relating to a cell of a second network, such as a 3G network and a 2G network that may substitute for the LTE network. Specifically, when the reception unit 110 receives the SIB2 message in which an originating call barring message is included, the storage unit 120 stores the originating call barring message. In detail, if ac-BarringInfo and ac-BarringForMO-Data are present within the SIB2 message, they may be stored in the storage unit 120 . In addition, if the cell information of the second network adjacent to the location of the portable terminal 100 is included within the SIB6 message received by the reception unit 110 , the storage unit 120 may store such cell information.
- the storage unit 120 may store the information of a cell used when the portable terminal 100 had been previously registered in the second network.
- the information of a cell that has been previously used may be the information of a 3G network or a 2G network the portable terminal had been previously registered in before being registered in the LTE network.
- the storage unit 120 may store the cell information supplied from the SIB6 and the information of a cell that has been previously used in a second network database to manage the cell information.
- the second network database may include, for example, a 3G network database and a 2G network database, and cell information corresponding to each network is stored in the corresponding database.
- Managing the databases relating to the cell information of the second networks decreases time required to search for a cell and time to register to a second network by increasing the probability of finding a desired cell at the time of searching for a cell in which a call may be originated while cells that may be registered in the networks are separately managed.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the conceptual structure of the second network database including, for example, the 3G network database or the 2G network database.
- a plurality of cell information pieces are formed as a list.
- the cell information pieces may be stored or identified as into cell information included in the SIB6 message and the information of cells used by the portable terminal 100 in previously registered networks.
- the cell information stored in the second network database is ranked in a descending order of the power of each cell.
- information of cell 1 and cell 2 included in the SIB6 message and information of cell 3 and cell 4 which are cell information of previously registered networks may be stored as a list as illustrated in FIG. 3 .
- the cell information of the corresponding cells may be stored in the corresponding order.
- the cell information included in the SIB6 message is ranked at the top, aspects need not be limited thereto such that the cell information included in the SIB6 message may be ranked lower than some or all of the cells and, for example, may be ranked at the bottom if it has the lowest power level.
- Each cell includes the base station.
- a cell C 1 includes a base station BS 1
- a cell C 2 includes a base station BS 2
- a cell C 3 includes a base station BS 3
- a cell C 4 includes a base station BS 4 .
- Each of the base stations BS 1 , BS 2 , BS 3 , and BS 4 propagates signals with, generally, a constant power level, and accordingly, the range, on the ground, of influence of one cell may be a circle shape.
- a portable terminal T is located in a specific location within the second cell C 2 , distances between the portable terminal T and the base stations BS 1 , BS 3 , and BS 4 of cells C 1 , C 3 , and C 4 may differ from each other.
- the power of a cell influencing the portable terminal T decreases as the portable terminal T is located farther from the base station of the cell, and the power of the cell influencing the portable terminal T increases as the portable terminal T is located closer to the base station of the cell. As illustrated in FIG.
- the distances from the portable terminal T to the base stations BS 1 , BS 2 , BS 3 , and BS 4 of the first cell C 1 , second cell C 2 , third cell C 3 , and fourth cell C 4 are defined as distance d 1 , distance d 2 , distance d 3 , and distance d 4 respectively.
- the distance d 2 between the portable terminal T and the base station BS 2 of the cell C 2 is the shortest followed by distances d 3 , d 4 , and d 1 .
- the second cell C 2 has the highest power level for the portable terminal T, followed by the third cell C 3 , the fourth cell C 4 , and the first cell C 1 .
- each database of the storage unit 120 stores cell information in order of the highest to lowest power level of the cells. Accordingly, in the second network database, information of, for example, the 3G network cell and the 2G network cell are listed in a descending order of the power levels of the cells. Although described sometimes as being separate, aspects need not be limited thereto such that the 3G network cells and the 2G network cells and other network cells may be included in one database and listed in a descending order of power level of the cells regardless of to which network or technology the cell belongs.
- the input unit 130 in FIG. 2 receives a user input requesting for originating a call.
- the input unit 130 may be configured in the form such as a keypad, a button, or a touch screen. For example, when a user clicks on a phone call icon displayed on the touch screen, a request for originating a voice call is input to the portable terminal 100 .
- the control unit 140 in FIG. 2 determines whether a call may be originated in accordance with the input of the request for originating a call. As described in S 14 , S 15 , and S 16 illustrated in FIG. 1 , the control unit 140 determines whether there is an originating call barring message, checks whether the AC value is within a range in which a call may be originated, and determines whether the difference between a random value and the ac-BarringFactor is higher than zero, thereby determining whether originating a call is barred. If originating a call is determined to be barred, the control unit 140 bars originating a call for a specified time.
- the control unit 140 may search for a cell communicable through the second network.
- the control unit 140 checks the communicability of the second network through the communication mode switching unit 150 , the cell searching unit 160 , and the cell selecting unit 170 , to be described in more detail, and originates a call through the searched cell communicable through the second network. Meanwhile, if a cell communicable through the second network is not retrieved through a search, the control unit 140 may return to the LTE network and re-search for a communicable cell.
- the communication mode switching unit 150 switches between the communication modes of the LTE network and the second network such as the 2G network or the 3G network in the portable terminal 100 . If originating a call is barred in the LTE network, the communication mode switching unit 150 switches the communication mode by selecting one of the 2G network and the 3G network. The communication mode switching unit 150 switches the communication mode to a different second network if a call may not be originated in the selected second network. Specifically, the communication mode switching unit 150 switches the communication mode first to a 3G network if originating a call is barred in the LTE network, and switches the communication mode to a 2G network if communication in the 3G network may not be performed.
- the communication mode switching unit 150 switches the communication mode from the substituted second network to the LTE network.
- the communication mode switching unit 150 is controlled by the control unit 140 and may be included in the control unit 140 . Although aspects are described as being part of the control unit 140 , aspects need not be limited thereto such that the communication mode switching unit 150 may be included separately or within other components or units.
- the cell searching unit 160 in FIG. 2 searches for a cell of the second network, which is stored in the second network database, or searches for a cell of the second network for the entire frequency band and measures the power for the cell of the second network that is retrieved through the search.
- the cell searching unit 160 measures the power for the cell of the second networks to connect the portable terminal 100 to a cell having the highest power level and reception sensitivity. Although the power may be measured for the entire frequencies of all of the second networks, the cell searching unit 160 first measures the power for a stored cell if the cell information is stored in the second network database.
- the portable terminal 100 may be connected to a cell having a sufficient power level and/or reception sensitivity such as, for example, a power level and/or a reception sensitivity greater than a threshold power level and/or reception sensitivity.
- the power levels may be measured for all of the frequencies of the corresponding second networks, this may delay the time for searching for a cell having a highest power level.
- the time required for searching for a cell may be shortened.
- the power of the cells stored in the second network database is measured again by the cell searching unit 160 in the portable terminal 100 .
- the cell searching unit 160 supplies the result of the measurement of the power to the cell selecting unit 170 . If an appropriate cell is not selected by the cell selecting unit 170 , such result is sent back from the cell selecting unit 170 to the cell searching unit, and the power is measured for all of the frequency bands of the corresponding 3G and 2G second network. The resulting measurement for all of the frequency bands is supplied to the cell selecting unit 170 again.
- the cell selecting unit 170 receives the information relating to the power level of each cell from the cell searching unit 160 , selects a cell having a power level equal to or higher than a preset level, and sends the result to the control unit 140 .
- the preset level is a value that is stored in the cell selecting unit 170 in advance and is a value designated such that the portable terminal 100 may smoothly perform communication in the second network. If a cell having a level equal to or higher than the preset level is not retrieved, the cell selecting unit 170 sends the result back to the cell searching unit 160 .
- the cell selecting unit 170 sends such result back to the control unit 140 , and the control unit 140 controls the communication mode switching unit 150 to search for a cell in another second network. For example, if the power is measured for all of the frequency bands by the cell searching unit 160 in the 3G network, and there is no cell selected by the cell selecting unit 170 , the control unit 140 controls the communication mode switching unit 150 to switch from the 3G network mode to the 2G network mode. After switching to the 2G network mode, the cell searching unit 160 and the cell selecting unit 170 may search for and retrieve a cell that is communicable through the 2G network.
- the transmission unit 180 originates a call that has been barred in the first network using the cell in the second network.
- the transmission unit 180 originates a call differently when the user requests a circuit-switched (CS) call and a packet-switched (PS) call. For example, if the user requests the portable terminal 100 for a phone call, the transmission unit 180 originates the call in the CS mode. On the other hand, if the user requests the portable terminal 100 for the transmission of a message, the transmission unit 180 originates the call in the PS mode.
- CS circuit-switched
- PS packet-switched
- the portable terminal 100 in FIG. 2 is in the state of being registered in the LTE network and is in a state in which an SIB2 message including an originating call barring message is received.

- many people may be populated in an area such as a football field or a concert hall. In such a case, since data overload may occur in the corresponding base station, a user may receive a message barring originating a call.
- operation S 101 the user inputs a request for originating a call to the portable terminal 100 , and, in operation S 102 , a message indicates that originating a call from the portable terminal 100 is barred for a specific barring time.
- the portable terminal 100 determines whether a call may be originated through the second network such as the 3G network or the 2G network. Specifically, the portable terminal 100 searches for a cell communicable in the 3G network or the 2G network and determines that a call may be originated if a communicable cell is retrieved.
- the transmission unit 180 in FIG. 2 of the portable terminal 100 determines whether the call requested to be originated is a CS call. If the requested call is a CS call, in operation S 106 the call is originated in the CS mode. On the other hand, if the requested call is not a CS call, in operation S 107 the call is originated in the PS mode.
- control unit 140 in FIG. 2 of the portable terminal 100 is returned to the LTE network and performs re-registration.
- operation S 109 the portable terminal 100 searches for a cell in which a call may be originated in the LTE network again.
- operation S 110 if there is a cell in which a call may be originated in the LTE network that has been searched again, the portable terminal 100 originates a call through the LTE network.
- operation S 11 if there is no cell in which a call may be originated, there are no more communication networks for substitution, and a state in which originating a call failed is maintained.
- the reception unit 110 in FIG. 2 receives an SIB6 message in operation S 201 and determines whether information relating to a cell in an area adjacent to the portable terminal 100 is included in the SIB6 message in operation S 202 .
- the communication mode switching unit 150 in FIG. 2 switches the LTE mode of the portable terminal 100 to the 3G mode in operation S 203 .
- the cell searching unit 160 in FIG. 2 first, measures the power of the cell stored in the 3G network database by referring to the 3G network database within the storage unit 120 .
- the cell searching unit 160 provides the cell selecting unit 170 in FIG. 2 with the measurement result, and the cell selecting unit 170 determines whether there is a cell of which the power is measured through the measurement result. If cell information is included in the 3G network database, there is a measured cell. On the other hand, if cell information is not included in the 3G network database, there is no measured cell.
- the cell selecting unit 170 searches for a cell having a power level that is equal to or higher than a preset level where the preset level, as described above, represents a power level for which communication may be smoothly performed in the 3G network.
- the cell selecting unit 170 selects the cell of the 3G network, and the control unit 140 performs 3G network registration through the transmission unit 180 .
- the cell selecting unit 170 sends back the result to the cell searching unit 160 , and the cell searching unit 160 determines whether the power measurement has been performed for all frequency bands.
- the cell searching unit 160 measures power for all frequency bands of the 3G network. Thereafter, the cell searching unit 160 provides the cell selecting unit 170 with the measurement result again, and the cell selecting unit 170 goes through operation S 206 again.
- the cell selecting unit 170 may select a cell having a highest power level among the plurality of cells.
- operation S 210 if no cell having a power level equal to or higher than the preset level is retrieved through a search in the 3G network through operation S 206 and operation S 208 , the cell selecting unit 170 sends back the result to the control unit 140 , and the control unit 140 switches the 3G mode to the 2G mode by controlling the communication mode switching unit 150 .
- operation S 202 if information relating to an adjacent cell has not been delivered from the SIB6 message, the control unit 140 switches the communication mode of the portable terminal 100 from the LTE mode to the 2G mode.
- the cell searching unit 160 measures power for cells included in the 2G network database.
- Operations S 212 to S 215 performed thereafter are the same as operations S 205 to S 209 described above except that the cells of the 2G network are searched, whereby a cell in which a call may be originated is searched.
- the cell selecting unit 170 selects the cell of the 2G network, and the control unit 140 performs 2G network registration through the transmission unit 180 .
- the portable terminal 100 fails to originate a call through the 3G network or 2G network. For example, in a case where the portable terminal 100 originates a call in a region in which only the LTE service is supported, even when the power is measured for all the frequency bands of the 2G network or 3G network, a cell in which a call may be originated is not retrieved through a search. In such a case, like in operation S 109 illustrated in FIG. 5 , the portable terminal 100 returns to the first network, and an LTE cell in which a call may be originated is searched again.
- a call may be originated by switching from the first network in which originating a call is barred to the second network such as the 3G network or the 2G network.
- the second network such as the 3G network or the 2G network.
