Definitions

  • the invention relates to telecommunication systems and particularly to a connection-oriented packet network comprising hierarchically arranged peer groups.
  • Asynchronous Transfer Mode Asynchronous Transfer Mode
  • ATM transmission technique is a switching and multiplexing solution, particularly associated with a data link layer (OSI Layer 2), that allows a connection-oriented network to be implemented in B-ISDN networks.
  • the present invention can be applied in connection with various connection-oriented packet networks to which routers (such as a TCP/IP protocol) supporting wireless terminals can be added.
  • routers such as a TCP/IP protocol
  • the invention will be illustrated using elements and terms of ATM transfer technique, without the invention being, however, restricted to them.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the structure of ATM cells.
  • a cell comprises a header of five octets and an information field of 48 octets, which comprises the actual payload.
  • the physical layer can comprise a plural number of virtual paths multiplexed in an ATM layer. The paths are identified by means of a Virtual Path Identifier VPI.
  • VPI Virtual Path Identifier
  • the VPI is 8 bits long and at a Network- Node-Interface NNI it is 12 bits.
  • Each virtual path can comprise a plural number of virtual channels identified by a Virtual Channel Identifier VCI of 16 bits.
  • the main function of the header is to identify an interface number for a cell sequence that is transferred through a virtual channel associated with the connection.
  • the header also comprises other fields such as a Header Error Control HEC, a Generic Flow Control GFC, a Cell Loss Priority CLP and a Payload Type PT.
  • An ATM cell indirectly comprises information about the address of the receiver, so each cell is an independent information transport unit. The number of cells transferred in a time unit is proportional to the user's bandwidth requirements.
  • ATM is a connection-oriented communication technique, but because a connection does not exist before it is set up, a connection set-up request must be routed from a source through the ATM network to a destination in just about the same way as packets are routed in packet- switched networks. After connection set-up, the packets travel on one and the same virtual channel during the connection.
  • ATM Forum proposes routing to be implemented by a PNNI (Private NNI) protocol, the characteristics of which are described in greater detail for instance in PNNI Specification, version 1.0, ATM Forum document af-PNN 1-0055.000, A TM Forum, 1996.
  • PNNI Primary NNI
  • a PNNI link can be a physical link or a virtual link.
  • a PNNI link can for instance be a virtual path combining two nodes.
  • the nodes are logically parallel.
  • the PNNI comprises in principal two components: a PNNI signalling protocol and a virtual circuit routing protocol.
  • the PNNI signalling protocol is used for transmitting ATM connection set-up messages in the network between the user-to-network interface of the source and the destination. UNI signalling is converted to NNI signalling in the destination switch.
  • the virtual circuit routing protocol is used for routing the signalling request through the ATM network. This idea is illustrated in Figure 2, which shows signalling used for setting up a connection between two fixed terminals FT1 and FT2.
  • the development of the PNNI protocol aims at two primary goals: flexible extendibility and routing based on Quality of Service.
  • the PNNI protocol routes a connection primarily on the basis of a requested Quality of Sen/ice QoS, traffic parameters and the resources available to the network.
  • the desired quality of service is defined and then maintained during the entire connection. This is based on the Connection Admission Control CAC performed by the ATM switches, the function of which, simply put, is to ensure that as the switch receives a connection set-up request, it checks whether it can set up the connection without causing interference to existing connections. The switch approves the connection only if no interference is to be expected, otherwise the connection is routed through another switch.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the PNNI hierarchy.
  • Each PNNI hierarchy level follows the same recursive network model so that in principle the same mechanisms are used at each hierarchy level.
  • Each hierarchy level comprises groups called peer groups.
  • a peer group is substantially a plural number of groups which all have access to an identical topological database and which exchange with each other link status data.
  • each lower level peer group appears as a logical group node exchanging, similarly as a normal node, parameters concerning the status of links and nodes with other nodes at the same level.
  • Each peer group has a node that functions as a Peer Group Leader PGL, performing the functions of a logical group node.
  • the status data of higher level peer groups is aggregated between the hierarchy levels, so the members of one and the same peer group know the status data of their own group in detail and the data concerning the higher levels with less accuracy, depending on how the distance between the hierarchy levels of the groups concerned.
  • the status data of network elements in the PNNI protocol has been proposed to be transferred by Topology State Packets PTSP.
  • the packets comprise a large amount of status parameters of links and nodes, denoting the communication circumstances within the network. Transfer of status data can be activated on the basis of specific events and status data in the PNNI protocol has also been planned to be flooded at a desired accuracy at regular intervals within the entire network. Flooding makes updated status data available at a selected level in the entire network and members of one and the same peer group in particular will know the data concerning their peer group in detail.
  • Border nodes are peer group nodes having a link to other peer groups, also to external networks, that do not apply the PNNI protocol. Border nodes in different peer groups at one and the same hierarchy level determine each other as an uplink to a corresponding peer group and they also broadcast link availability data within the peer group.
  • the home network of the mobile terminal maintains the data of its home address and its mobile foreign address at a given time. Whenever a mobile terminal registers in a new switch, information about a new mobile foreign address MFA is updated in the home network of the mobile terminal.
  • a connection set-up message arrives at the switch and the switch detects that the destination address of the message is associated with a mobile terminal, the original destination address of the message is encapsuled in the message and a mobile foreign address MFA received from the home network is used as the routing address.
  • the encapsulation is released and the message is routed to the mobile terminal.
  • Encapsulation allows a connection set-up message to be transparently routed to a mobile terminal through the network, using a PNNI protocol.
  • the encapsuled message is typically routed to an anchor switch that is connected to a base station in which the mobile terminal is registered.
  • location monitoring arranged at the accuracy of switches is not, however, the most advantageous alternative.

  • routing is performed using internal data management of the peer group, which provides every member of the group with information about traffic parameters significant for routing to other members in the same peer group.
  • the information comprises an identity or an address of a base station serving a wireless terminal.
  • This information can be broadcast within the peer group by using a PNNI flooding known per se.

  • the present invention enables a more efficient routing by making use of the advantages offered by a hierarchical network structure and network protocol in the implementation of wireless connections, avoiding at the same time above described problems.
  • location update signalling has no impact on the size of the anchor switch service area, because the location information at the home data base only needs to be updated when the mobile terminal or mobile subscriber changes peer group.

  • the switch MES1 ; 6 changes the temporary address B.3.3 as a destination address of the connection set-up message, places the original destination address C.2.11 to another message field (for instance 'called party subaddress') and sends the set-up message further, according to a PNNI protocol, towards a visitor network B.3; 3 (steps 5, 6 and 7).
  • the switch removes the encapsulation by reading from another message field the original destination address C.2.11 , replaces the temporary destination address B.3.3 with the original address and sends the set-up message to the mobile terminal MT (steps 8 to 9) through the base station AP

  • location information is not necessarily updated at the subscriber data base HLR 7 of network C. If there are many base stations or, correspondingly, if traffic to the peer group B.3 increases, the traffic causes congestion in anchor switch MES2.
  • Figure 5 shows a peer group B.3; 3 with a plural number of base stations. If the traffic of all the base stations was routed via switch MES2, before long the switch would be excessively loaded. The situation could, in principle, be solved by adding more anchor switches to peer group B.3, but the generic problem of traffic being forced through a single switch would remain unsolved and the advantage the network structure offers for guided routing could not be made use of. Quality of service would not improve significantly and yet the signalling related to location updating would increase unnecessarily, because location updating to the home network would always have to be made when moving from one anchor switch area to another.

  • a temporary address of a mobile terminal MT is stored at a subscriber data base HLR of the home peer group C.2 in such a way that a permanent address of the mobile terminal MT is associated with an address B.3 of the peer group to which the terminal has last registered.
  • Said address B.3 is returned to switch MES1 as a response to a location inquiry (step 4).
  • Switch 6 changes the destination address of the connection set-up message to a temporary address, which is the address B.3 of the peer group, places the original destination address C.2.11 to the message field 'called party subaddress' and sends the set-up message further, according to the PNNI protocol, to the visitor network B.3 (steps 5 and 6).
  • border node 9 When the set-up message arrives at the border node B.3.1 of the visitor network, border node 9 identifies the set-up message as one that is addressed to the mobile terminal MT 4. The identification may be based on for instance that the border node detects that the destination address of the message is a peer group address and not a switch address. The identification may also be based on another mechanism and it is not as such essential to the invention. If border switch 9 is not a switch supporting wireless terminals, it routes the set-up message to a peer group switch that supports wireless terminals, by performing the routing according to a PNNI protocol. If border node B.3.1 is a switch supporting wireless terminals, it routes the set-up message to the base station AP2 according to a PNNI protocol, for instance over path 7a, 8a, 10 or path 7b, 8b, 9b, 10.
