Definitions

  • This invention relates to cellular radio systems and in particular a system for defining a zone, specific to an individual user, for purposes of providing different types of service to the user according to whether he is within the zone so defined.
  • a cellular radio system has a large number of "cells", each served by a radio base transceiver site.
  • the radio base transceiver sites are each connected to a central switch (known as a mobile switching centre (MSC)) which routes calls to and from the individual base transceiver sites
  • MSC mobile switching centre
  • An individual user located within a cell can receive or originate telephone calls on a handset by means of a radio link with the radio base transceiver serving the cell in which he is currently located.
  • any telephone handset can establish contact with whichever base transceiver site serves the cell in which it is currently located.
  • the mobile station For originating a call the mobile station establishes contact with whichever base transceiver site provides the best signal.
  • the mobile switching centre On receiving an incoming call for a specified mobile station, the mobile switching centre determines which base transceiver site is currently within range of the mobile station, and set up a call by transmitting call set up protocols via the appropriate base transceiver site to the appropriate mobile station.
  • Mobile stations may move from one cell to another, either between or during calls, and "handover" arrangements are provided to allow the mobile switching centre to monitor such a change of base transceiver site, and to maintain the telephone connection if a call is in progress when such a change happens.
  • each radio base station broadcasts a signal giving the control channel information for its own cell and those of the neighbouring cells. From time to time each mobile station scans the radio channels of the current serving cell and the neighbouring cells (defined by a "neighbour list” transmitted in the control information from the current cell), and carries out an assessment of the quality of the radio link on each. If the base station currently serving the mobile unit no longer provides the best signal quality of those scanned, a handover is initiated to another cell At this stage a new neighbour list is created, based on the new serving cell.
  • the "neighbour list” i.e. the identities of the cells whose control channels are to be indicated to the mobile station) is defined in the base site controller which controls the individual base transceiver site
  • the network is modified, for example by adding new base transceiver sites, or by rearranging the channel allocation in the base transceiver sites to cope with changes in demand, and the neighbour lists are modified by the network operator in consequence
  • Some cellular radio systems offer different types of service depending on the current location of the mobile unit For example different tariffs may be available in different geographical areas Such facilities may be offered so that calls to fixed telephones within a predetermined area (defined by the area codes used in the fixed telephone network) are charged at a local rate if the mobile station is itself within the same geographical area, thereby reducing the price differential compared with calls from fixed telephones.
  • Differential tariffs may also be used for users in predetermined zones, thus facilitating the planning of the provision of facilities (e.g new capacity) by encouraging users to operate their mobile telephones in predetermined (and therefore predictable) areas.
  • a user may be given the facility to make calls at a tariff similar to the fixed-line rate when within a specified area. This allows the user to use his mobile handset as a replacement for a fixed-line telephone when within that specified area, allowing him, and the service provider, to avoid the expense of providing the fixed line Services may also be offered which only allow a limited geographical range, the telephone being inhibited from making and/or receiving calls (or certain classes of call, e g non-emergency calls) outside that geographical range. This would be useful if the telephone is to be loaned for use at a specific location (e.g. whilst the borrower is employed at a particular site), to reduce the temptation to retain it when he leaves.
  • any such zones are most conveniently defined in terms of cells
  • a predetermined set of one or more cells will be determined as comprising a "zone" for the purposes described above.
  • W097/1 3387 (TeliaAB) describes a method of a defining a geographical zone specific to a given mobile telephone, wherein the network identifies one or more cells as a home area for the mobile telephone, and stores the identity of these cell as an attribute of the mobile telephone defining its specified geographical "home zone"
  • a single cell would be unattractive as a user-friendly zone; handover often occurs in moving from one side of a building to the other, as the building itself inhibits radio propagation. Therefore the cited reference allows several cells to be defined by the cellular radio system.
  • the cells are defined by the mobile handset itself, which calls the network on a special number when the user wishes to identify a cell in which he is currently located as forming part of the 'home area' .
  • This arrangement is inconvenient, as it requires the user to register separately in each cell forming part of the required 'home area'. This is time- consuming. It also requires knowledge of the cellular 'overlay' pattern in the area, which is not readily discernible on the ground, to ensure all the cells required have been covered There is also no control over how large an area is selected by the user.
  • a further problem is that as the cellular system is upgraded, the locations and extents of the individual cells (the 'overlay' pattern) will change. For zoning arrangements which are common to all users, or a known subset of users, such changes can be accommodated by adjusting, in the billing system or elsewhere, the identities of the cells to which the special tariff etc. applies. However this becomes increasingly difficult if the zones are defined differently for each user.
  • a method of operating a cellular telephone network to define a geographical zone specific to a given mobile telephone comprising means for storing attributes of associated mobile telephones, and a plurality of cellular radio base stations each defining a geographical cell; wherein the network identifies one cell as a home cell for the mobile telephone, and stores the identity of the home cell as an attribute of the mobile telephone defining its specified geographical zone, and the required geographical zone is defined as including the identified home cell and a predetermined group of other cells defined with reference to the home cell.
  • these neighbouring cells may be redefined by the network, such that the geographical area defined by the cells remains substantially constant. This allows the use of a standard mobile station, as it does not require any information regarding the network configuration to be stored in the mobile station, and therefore the system can operate, regardless of any changes to the cellular reuse pattern, completely transparently to the mobile station.
  • the network identifies whether the mobile station is operating in a cell defined as forming part of the predetermined zone, and transmits a voice announcement or other indication at the beginning of the call that the mobile station is within, or is not within, the zone.
  • This facility could be used, for example, to alert the user as to whether or not he is within a predetermined user-specific zone within which a special tariff applies.
  • a similar arrangement can be used for incoming calls, to allow either the calling party or the called party to benefit from a lower tariff.
  • a user who has diverted calls to a mobile telephone from a fixed telephone is billed for any calls so diverted.
  • the invention allows such calls to be charged at a special low tariff if the mobile telephone is within the predetermined zone
  • the activation of the zone definition process may be carried out by the network operator, for example by selecting as home cell the cell covering a geographical location specified in any suitable manner ('ZIP' or postal code, latitude and longditude, etc) .
  • the activation of the zone definition process may be carried out by the user, either on first switching on the mobile unit, or by dialling a special code.
  • means are provided to prevent a user repeating this process on subsequent occasions, to redefine his special zone according to his current whereabouts
  • Such means may be overridden, under the control of the service provider, to allow for situations in which the mobile telephone is henceforth to be used generally at a different location: for example if the mobile unit changes owners, or if the existing owner changes his residence.
  • any standard mobile telephone can be used with the invention.
  • the cells defining the zone can be redefined by the network to allow the geographical zone coverage to be maintained

  • it is desired to define the home zone differently from the neighbour zone this can be achieved by generating separate data sets from the same source data.
  • the neighbour list typically lists the six (or some other fixed number) base stations which give the best quality signals for mobile stations within a given cell, and hence those most likely to be handed over to.
  • these cells will, collectively, cover a very much smaller area if the base stations are close together (e.g. in an urban environment, where base station siting is dictated by the amount of call traffic to be supported, and the need for small cells to provide coverage between tall buildings) than if the base stations are spaced a long way apart. It may therefore be preferable to define a home zone list by area: e.g. all cells wholly or partly within a predetermined radius 100 of the Home Cell ( Figures 1 and 2) .
  • cell Z would replace cell C in both the home zone list, (as no part of cell C is now within the defined radius 100 of the centre of cell A), and the neighbour list (cell C now not being one of the nearest six cells, and therefore unlikely to be the best cell to which to be handed over from cell A).
  • the low-power "hot spot" cell Y introduced to cover a small region of high demand (or poor reception) within cell F would be added to the home zone list, as it lies within the defined radius 1 00, although its low power means that it is not part of the neighbour list for cell A.

Abstract

Une zone géographique spécifique à un téléphone mobile (10) donné est définie dans une base de données (15) associée au réseau téléphonique cellulaire, pour permettre l'application, par exemple, de tarifs différentiels dans des zones personnalisées, pour des utilisateurs individuels. Lorsqu'on transmet un signal d'enregistrement par le téléphone mobile (10), le réseau identifie la cellule (11) actuellement en service comme étant une cellule de rattachement au téléphone mobile, et stocke l'identité de la 'cellule de rattachement' (11) comme attribut du téléphone mobile. On définit, ensuite, la zone par rapport à la cellule de rattachement, comme étant par exemple la 'liste de voisinage' des cellules candidates au transfert depuis la cellule de rattachement (11) ou des cellules situées à une distance déterminée de la cellule de rattachement (11). Lorsqu'on modifie le réseau par adjonction de nouvelles cellules, ou par déplacement des cellules existantes, la définition de la zone définie par chaque cellule (11) au moment de son stockage dans la base de données (15) peut être modifiée par la fonction (14) de planification du réseau.
