  • direct mode channels can also be used in connection with a radio system, i.e. direct mode operation is applied. Subscriber stations using direct mode operation do not communicate directly with the radio network or its base stations. Direct mode channels are frequencies at which mobile phones or other means of communication are able to communicate directly with each other without the system. Direct mode channels are typically used in situations where for instance a group of portable mobile phones are communicating with each other at such a long distance from the base station that system channels cannot be used. Another important way of using direct mode channels is to increase the capacity when the traffic in the system increases fast in some part of the service area of the system, for instance in some point-like part of the radio network.
  • a direct mode channel is referred to with the terms direct or simplex channel, or a simplex connection.
  • a direct mode channel is a channel which is typically not at all used by the system. It may be for instance a channel of the breadth of the channels of the system, for instance 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz.

In this case, the traffic on the direct mode channel takes place on the semiduplex principle.
  • the subscriber stations using direct mode operation can thus also communicate with the radio network via repeater stations.
  • a repeater station is a piece of equipment comprising two radio apparatuses connected to each other. The repeater station transmits the information messages transmitted on the direct mode channel to desired network elements, for instance to the base stations of the radio network, these base stations transmitting the information messages further to the switching centres of the radio network and further to the databases located in the radio network.

  • Another problem with the use of the solutions according to prior art is that when a subscriber station starts to operate on a direct mode channel, the radio network or mobile communication system loses its ability to control the operation of the subscriber station, i.e. the radio network is not able to command the subscriber station switched to the direct mode channel to operate the way the radio network wants.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems associated with the solutions according to prior art.
  • the object of the present invention is to make it possible to control the subscriber station switched to direct mode operation and to reach it from the radio network in the coverage area of which or in the immediate vicinity thereof the subscriber station operates on the direct mode channel.
  • This new type of method for controlling a subscriber station operating on a direct mode channel in a radio system is achieved with the method of the invention, characterized in that information on the identifiers of subscriber stations operating in the coverage area of a repeater station is maintained in said repeater station.
  • the invention further relates to a radio system comprising a radio network with at least one base station and subscriber stations and at least one repeater station, which forwards traffic between at least one base station and subscriber stations operating on a direct mode channel.

  • This information on subscriber stations and direct mode channels is collected either passively by listening to the operation of subscriber stations on direct mode channels or by transmitting identifier confirmation messages to subscriber stations on direct mode channels.
  • the collected data is transmitted, if needed, to the network element that has requested it, for instance to the subscriber database of the radio network or to a terminal equipment connected to the radio network, such as a control point (command and control point; dispatcher).
  • An advantage of this type of method for controlling a subscriber station operating on a direct mode channel, radio system and subscriber station is that by operating according to the invention, the system obtains data on the location of the radio phones operating on direct mode channels in the network from a repeater station, which has collected the necessary data in its database. This information can be utilized if the system or its subscriber desires to forward information or initiate a function relating to a radio phone operating on a direct mode channel. In addition, by using this information the system may conclude that it is not worth forwarding calls and other system services to a radio phone on system calling channels.
  • any network element of the radio system such as the subscriber database, dispatcher or similar, obtains information concerning which radio phones are operating on which direct mode channel. This function thus also enables the localization of illegal or unauthorized radio phones operating on the same direct mode channel within the area. After the localization, the necessary measures can be taken for eliminating the illegal subscriber stations.

  • the function of the invention is mainly controlled by the repeater station.
  • the purpose of the invention is to collect data on direct mode channel users to the repeater station and transmit it via a radio path to the system to be utilized further. This data can be used within the system as a part of radio phone location files or it can be transmitted to a desired user, such as a dispatcher.
  • FIG. 1 shows the operation of the radio system of the invention.
  • the invention is related to radio systems which comprise a radio network with switching centers, base stations BS, radio phones MSI -
  • MS4 and repeater radio phones RS which radio systems have a cellular structure.
  • system channels are typically used for forwarding traffic, these system channels being indicated by symbols f2 and f3 in Figure 1, which are typically frequency pairs.
  • Direct mode operation is usually simplex traffic taking place at one frequency, at the frequency fl in this case.
  • Each subscriber station such as a mobile station, thus sends out a transmission in turn on a direct mode channel, and while one subscriber station is sending out a transmission, the other subscriber stations are listening.
  • the repeater radio or repeater station RS (Repeater) enables a connection between the radio system and the direct mode operation DMO taking place unaffected by the system.
  • the function of the invention can also be used within the coverage area of the base station if the repeater radio, i.e. the repeater station RS, operates between the system and the direct mode channel.
  • the function of the invention is mainly controlled by the repeater station RS.
  • the repeater station RS collects data on direct channel users and transmits it via a radio path to the system to be utilized further.
  • This data can include for instance the identifiers of the subscriber stations operating on the direct mode channel or the identifiers of the direct mode channels on which these subscriber stations operate.
  • other data can be collected at repeater stations.
  • the data collected at the repeater stations can be used within the system as a part of the location files of the radio phone system or it can be transmitted to a desired subscriber, such as the dispatcher of some subscriber group or fleet.
  • FIG. 2 shows a message flow diagram of the signalling required by the invention.
  • the different stages I - VI are separated by broken lines.
  • the stages I - II represent the starting of the function of the invention in the repeater station by different network elements.
  • the stages III - IV represent the transmission of the collected data to different network elements when the function has been started in the repeater radio.
  • the stages V - VI represent the actual data collection process when the function of the invention has been started.
  • the terminal equipment CP connected to the radio system such as a telephone, control point or dispatcher, starts the data collection function of the invention by transmitting a data maintenance starting message 201, i.e. a dmo_user_query message, to the repeater station via the system.
  • a data maintenance starting message 201 i.e. a dmo_user_query message
  • the control point connected to the radio network of the invention such as a dispatcher or a fixed control point, comprises means 221 for starting the maintenance of the identifiers of the subscriber stations MSI - MS4 operating on direct mode channels in said repeater station RS by transmitting a data maintenance starting message 201.
  • the repeater station RS transmits the data to a desired network element by a dmo_user_response message 202.
  • the network element receiving the data may be the network element which has requested the repeater station to start data collection, or some other network element.
  • the network element which has received the data stores the data it has received from the repeater station RS in its database.
  • Stage II shows a function similar to the one shown at stage I except that now the starter is the radio system SwMi's own application, which needs data on the radio phones using direct mode operation.
  • An entity of the radio network thus transmits a data maintenance starting message 203, i.e. a dmo__user_query message, corresponding to the message 201.
  • This application i.e. the entity of the radio network SwMi, has its own address, as do the other parties participating in the signalling.
  • the application may typically be a subscriber location database.
  • the radio network of the invention comprises means 220 for starting the maintenance of the identifiers of the subscriber stations MSI - MS4 operating on direct mode channels in said repeater station RS by transmitting a data maintenance starting message 203.
  • This means 220, X may be located in the switching center of the radio network or its base station BS.
  • the repeater station RS When the repeater station RS has collected the desired data, it transmits the collected data to a desired network element by a dmo_user_response message 204.
  • the network element receiving the data may be the network element which has requested the repeater station to start data collection, or some other network element.
  • the function of the invention is started in the actual repeater station RS, after which the data is collected from the direct mode channel, which is indicated by reference DMO and channel/frequency fl in Figure 1.
  • the starting of the data collection function can take place automatically at desired intervals, or on the basis of some other criterion, or randomly.
  • the repeater station RS transmits it to a desired address by a dmo_user_indication message 205, and the receiver acknowledges receipt of the data by using a dmo_user_indication_ack message 206.
  • the data can be transmitted for instance to the control point with a dispatcher that has started the data collection process.
  • the data collection function is started in the actual repeater radio RS, and the data collection function is generally the same as at stage III. The difference is that the data is transmitted to the system application as shown at stage II.
  • This function can typically be also carried out in connection with another function, as for instance in connection with the cases of stages I and III, or as produced by some other impulse.
  • the repeater station RS transmits it to a desired address by a dmo_user_indication message 207, and the receiver acknowledges receipt of the data by using a dmo_user_indication_ack message 208.
  • Stage V of Figure 2 shows a passive data collection method.
  • the repeater radio RS listens to the traffic 209 of the subscriber stations MSI - MS4 ( Figure 1) on the direct mode channel DMO, fl ( Figure 1) and collects subscriber identifier data or other desired information from the transmissions. If the traffic is listened to only for a short time, it may occur that part of the mobile stations operating on the direct mode channel have not transmitted anything, wherefore information on these subscriber stations is not obtained. On the other hand, this mechanism is preferable if it is desirable that nobody should have the slightest possibility to detect the observation of the subscriber stations operating on the direct mode channel, i.e. the collection of their identifiers.
  • Stage VI of Figure 2 shows an active data collection method.
  • the repeater radio RS transmits an identifier confirmation message 210 on desired direct mode channel or channels by using a global title, this message being described as a send_id message in this context.
  • All the radio phones, mobile stations, located on a direct mode channel thus transmit their direct mode channel subscriber number responsive to said message to the repeater station, which number can be the same as or different than the number in connection with the system.
  • the transmission can take place in an id_response message 211.
  • the identifier data is collected in a table. The contents of the table are transmitted to their destination in the dmo_user_response messages 202, 204 or in the dmo_user_indication messages 205, 207.
