Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of controlling a communication system, and particularly to enable interrogation of other channels in a radio system so that a handover request may be generated.
- the invention is concerned with handover from an established channel operating in a frequency division mode.
- the need for handover control in cellular systems is well known, and many techniques for changing the base station with which a mobile unit is communicating have been proposed.
- the present invention is particularly concerned with the handover of communication signals between different systems, or within a single system which supports more than one frequency channel or different types of communication in different areas.
- For a mobile station to determine when handover is appropriate some monitoring must be made of alternative available channels so that a correct handover decision can be made.
- FDD frequency division duplex
- One possible solution to this problem is to provide each mobile station with two receivers, one for receiving the user data transmitted by the base station, and the other for monitoring the condition of other possible channels. It is, of course, desirable to avoid the need for each mobile station to have two receivers.
- An alternative approach is to provide a slotted transmission mode in which for some or all time frames, the base station transmits all of the data for the frame, but in part of the frame duration. This would normally require that , the information rate is increased during transmission, for example by reducing the spreading factor in a spread spectrum system.
- No information is sent to the mobile station during the remainder of the frame, which comprises a null period. There could be information sent in the null period, but of a nature which can be ignored by the mobile station.
- the null periods enable the mobile station to use a single receiver to perform signal measurements during the null periods in order to analyse alternative channels or frequency bands. This analysis then enables evaluation of whether handover is appropriate.
- WO 94/29981 discloses a transmission system for handover in DS-
- CDMA systems in which idle periods are provided in the otherwise continuous transmission.
- the transmission of the channel data in the time frame is carried out with a higher transmission power, and with a lower spreading ratio.
- the idle periods enable other channels to be monitored by the mobile station to enable seamless handover.
- a problem with the system of WO 94/29981 is the need to dynamically alter the spreading ratio of the CDMA coding.
- a further problem may arise concerning the timing of the idle periods.
- control data defining a channel may be provided at an allocated timing within each time frame, for example in the header of each time frame.
- TDD time division duplex
- a particular problem may arise if the time frame duration of the alternative channel is the same as the time frame duration of the channel being operated, because the null periods during which the mobile station interrogates alternative channels may not correspond with the control data which is required to make a handover decision.
- a method of controlling a communication system in which a communication signal is established between first and second stations and using a channel configuration comprising sequential time segments with the channel defining a substantially continuous transmission, comprising: dividing each time segment of the channel from the first to the second station into a predetermined number of sub-segments; for a first set of time segments, repeating the communication signal data for a respective time segment in all sub-segments; and for a second set of time segments, providing in one or more of the sub- segments null periods during which the communication signal from the first station to the second station is interrupted, and transmitting the communication signal data during the remaining sub-segments of the second set.
- the use of some sub-segments as null periods enables the transmitter of the first station and/or the receiver of the second station to be used for other purposes, for example for establishing handover.
- the first station may be the mobile or the base station, and correspondingly the second station may be the base or the mobile station.
- the time segments preferably comprise time frames.
- the use of a segmented time frame structure, even for time frames in which no null periods are provided, enables a constant spreading factor to be applied in the case of a code division transmission system. However, for time frames with repeated data (at high bit rate), the data can be combined by the receiving terminal with little or no increase in error occurrence compared to a conventional lower bit rate transmission.
- bit rate of the signal for transmission does not necessarily need to be constant, for example considering variable rate speech codecs.
- the transmission during the at least some of the remaining sub- segments for each time segment in the second set may be performed with an increased transmission power, so that the received signal has comparable error characteristics.
- Null periods are preferably also provided in a channel from the second to the first station, some of which may be synchronised with null periods in the channel from the first to the second station. This will minimise interference during handover channel monitoring.
- the second station may be operated to survey alternative communication channels during the null periods, and to generate a handover request in response to the survey, if a more appropriate channel is identified during the survey.
- the null periods may be provided in different sub-segments for different time segments in the second set. This overcomes the problem that the null period may repeatedly miss the required data portion of alternative channels being monitored for handover.
- the invention also provides a telecommunication system employing a method as described above.
- the invention further provides a telecommunication station for transmitting a signal over an allocated channel which is divided into time segments, comprising transmitting means, timing means for dividing the time segments into sub-segments, repeating means for allocating communication signal data to a plurality of sub-segments, and interrupting means for arranging one or more sub-segments as null periods during which transmission is interrupted, wherein for a first set of time segments the repeating means allocates the communication signal data to all sub-segments for transmission at a first power, and wherein for a second set of time segments the interrupting means arranges one or more sub segments of each time segment as a null period and the repeating means allocates the communication signal data to the remaining sub-segments of the second set for transmission at a second power which is greater than the first power.
- the transmission station is thus capable of operating according to the method of the invention.
- the signal for transmission is preferably spread by a code sequence, and wherein the same spreading factor is applied to time segments having sub-segments arranged as null periods as to time segments in which no sub-segments are arranged as null periods.
- the invention additionally provides a telecommunication station for.
- receiving a signal from a transmitting station over an allocated channel which is divided into time segments with the time segments divided into a predetermined number of sub-segments comprising receiving means, means for interrupting operation of the receiving means during sub-segments arranged as null periods, means for combining data in sub-segments arranged as repeated data of individual time segments, and means for operating the receiving means to survey other communication channels during the null periods.
- the telecommunication station is thus capable of operating according to the method of the invention.
- the telecommunication station preferably further comprises de-spreading means which utilises the same spreading factor for time segments having sub-segments arranged as null periods as for time segments in which no sub-segments are arranged as null periods.
- Figure 1 shows frame timing data using one possible slotted transmission mode
- Figure 2 shows frame timing diagrams for operation in accordance with the invention
- Figure 3 shows schematically an architecture for a transmitting station capable of operating according to the method of the invention.
- Figure 4 shows schematically an architecture for a receiving station capable of operating in accordance with the method of the invention.
- Figure 1 Part A shows one possible frame structure for the down-link communication between a base station and a mobile station.
- the signal comprises a number of time frames 2 arranged in sequence. Typically, a time frame may have a duration of 10ms.
- Each time frame 2 includes user data as well as control data.
- the user data and control data may be multiplexed together, or else each time frame may be divided into discrete sections, or each . may be carried on a separate physical channel.
- each time frame may include a synchronisation sequence and a header in which control data is transmitted.
- This invention is particularly concerned with a communication system employing frequency division duplex, in which the transmission and reception signals are essentially continuous. Of course, various coding and interleaving techniques are additionally possible.
- the invention is directed at the particular problem of handover from a frequency division duplex system to other frequencies, to alternative systems, or to other modes of communication supported by an individual system.
- the mobile station In order to make reliable handovers possible, it is necessary for the mobile station to make measurements of the potential replacement channels established by other base stations (or even by the same base station). For seamless handover to take place, these measurements must be carried out by the mobile station while the existing connection is maintained. This requires the mobile station to have a second receiver for monitoring alternative channels, or else requires the mobile station to interrupt use of its single receiver periodically.
- null periods 4 are possible in the transmission from the base station to the mobile station during which time the mobile station receiver can be allocated to tasks other than reception of information from the base station.
- One possible arrangement of the null periods 4 is shown in Figure 1A, in which each null period 4 occupies approximately half of the frame duration, and is positioned at the beginning of a time frame 2 with a null period for every fourth time frame.
- a null period is associated with a respective time frame, and the null period has a duration shorter than a time frame
- the null period may be as long as or longer than the time frame duration of the system.
- the time segments will then comprise a number of time frames.
- FIG. 1A A further possible problem with the base station transmission of Figure 1A arises if the monitoring by the mobile station during the null periods 4 does not coincide with control information transmitted by other base stations.
- the null periods 4 may coincide with a period during which other base stations make no transmissions.
- Figure 1 B shows a possible frame structure for a different base station which operates using time frames 2' of the same duration.
- the bold lines in Figure 1B at the beginning of each time frame 2' represent control data portions 6 of each time frame, during which the base station may be set up to transmit various items of control information, such as identification of the base station, information concerning which alternative systems are authorised to use the channel, and the type of signal transmissions which the base station can support.
- the null periods 4 of Figure 1A do not coincide with any of the control data portions 6 so that the mobile station will not receive any of the control information required to determine whether it may be appropriate to handover to the base station using the channel represented in Figure 1B.
- the channel represented in Figure 1B may comprise a time division duplex channel offered by a different base station within the UMTS system, or even by the same base station.
- the null period must coincide with a period of base station transmission in the TDD system for measurements to be possible by the mobile.
- Figure 2A shows one possible frame structure for use in the method of the invention. In Figure 2A, only time frames 10 which are fully occupied with channel data are shown.
- Each frame 10 is divided into two sub-segments 12, each of which contains the same channel data.
- the channel data is represented by the letters A, B, C, D, E and F.
- the channel data is transmitted by the transmitting station at a higher bit rate than is required (thereby reducing the error rate) but the information is repeated.
- the method in accordance with the present invention could also be applied independently to control data and to user data, and need not be applied to all the data. For example, there would normally be no benefit in repeating power control information, but there could be some benefit in repeating rate or transport format information.
- the channel data in Figure 2A may comprise user data or control data or both.
- Multicode transmission is a known technique for use in UMTS implementations.
- different frame structures may apply to such transmissions which can use different spreading codes for different portions of the data.
- Spreading codes in UMTS can be considered as the combination of a scrambling code and a channelisation code.
- the frame structure in Figure 2A may be used in combination with other frame structures which do not use the sub-segments approach of the present invention.
- the same received signal quality can be obtained. This may be achieved by combining soft decision information for each repeated data bit (or modulation symbol).
- one of the two sub-segments 12 is arranged as a null period 14, during which no power is transmitted, so that the transmitter or the receiver of the receiving station may be employed for other purposes.
- the null period 14 enables the mobile station to use its (single) receiver to interrogate other systems to evaluate the need for signal handover.
- the mobile station can use its transmitter for other purposes during the null periods, for example to signal to another system.
- only some of the mobile stations may need to be allocated a radio bearer having the repeated transmission configuration.
- the transmitting station does not need to notify previously the receiving station that it is providing an interruption in the transmission.
- a signal may be sent in the pilot portion of the frame structure. The absence of this pilot signal may be used to indicate that a null period is present in that particular time frame, thus little or no process modification would be required by the receiving station to receive information during a time frame which is provided with a null period.
- the mobile station will require previous knowledge of the timing of the null periods in the down-link signal, so that the mobile station receiver can switch to another frequency for evaluation of another carrier. This may, for example, be achieved by having a predetermined frame arrangement, with regular null periods.
- the timing of successive null periods in the down-link transmission may be set to follow a repeating sequence, so that the mobile station can independently calculate when the null periods will arrive.
- a synchronisation message will be required to initialise a channel set up, which specifies the timing, of at least one null period.
- the mobile may request a specific timing for null periods, for example if one particular timing reveals a greater number of alternative channels to interrogate. This request may be achieved using dedicated signalling. Flexibility for the mobile to select the timing of null periods also enables the mobile to dictate that two or more base stations transmit null periods at the same time, for example in the case that the mobile is receiving user data from two base stations simultaneously. Such an approach may be implemented in some systems to increase diversity.
- the timing of the null periods may alternatively be varied by the infrastructure rather than following a predetermined pattern.
- the height of the blocks in Figure 2 representing the channel information is intended to show schematically the required transmission power. As shown, the power is increased for the shorter duration channel data 16 in the time frames having null periods. This improves the signal to noise ratio.
- DTX discontinuous transmission system
- the two null periods are shown as having the same relative positioning within their respective time frames. However, it may instead be desirable to alter the timing of the null periods within the respective time frames.
- null period will enable the null period to overlap with different portions of the frames of alternative systems having identical frame durations. This may be required in order to read the relevant part of the time frame of the alternative system.
- the down-link signal will have the configuration described.
- the up-link signal from the mobile station to the base station is preferably also arranged to be interrupted with null periods corresponding and coinciding with the null periods 4 of the base station transmission. This enables the mobile station to monitor channels operating in the same or adjacent frequency bands to the channel presently operating. This situation may arise in the UMTS system, in which the TDD and FDD communication modes may be deployed in the adjacent frequency bands. Without switching off the transmitter of the mobile station, high performance filters would be required to prevent the transmission signal from the mobile station interfering with the monitored signals from alternative channels.
- the duty cycle of the channel data period to the null period is 0.5 (which is appropriate for soft handover) other duty cycles may be considered.
- the null period has a duration of 0.25 of the frame duration. Each frame may then be considered to comprise data repeated twice, and it is useful to consider the data as having two sections.
- channel data A comprises data portion A, and data portion A 2 .
- the null period since the null period only lasts half of the duration of the data, only half of the data needs to be transmitted at increased power, namely data A 2 in Figure 2C. It is again possible to shift the position of the null period in different time frames which are provided with null periods, as shown with data E in Figure 2C, which comprises data portion E ⁇ and E 2 .
- channel data B is transmitted only once, at greatly increased power, and the null period 14 has a duration of 0.75 of the frame duration.
- a lower spreading ratio for a CDMA system operating according to this scheme will be required.
- FIG. 3 shows, in schematic form, a possible architecture for a transmitting station to generate a channel structure as described with reference, to Figure 2.
- the station 20 comprises a transmitter 22 and a receiver 24.
- the signal for transmission is prepared by a coding unit 26 which performs the necessary modulation including any coding (i.e. spreading) or interleaving of the transmitted signals.
- the frame structure is set by a frame generator 28 including a repeater 30 for repeating the channel data in sub-segments of the time frames.
- the frame generator 28 also generates the control portion of the frame structure, including headers and synchronisation sources.
- the frame generator defines the sub-segments of the time frames.
- a decoding unit 30 is provided for the received signal.
- the overall control of the station is governed by a controller 32 which controls the operation of the coder 26, decoder 30 and an input/output interface 32.
- the station additionally comprises a timing controller 34 which gives information to the system controller 32 to influence the frame generation process, in particular the allocation of null periods to the time frames.
- a circuit 36 for interrupting transmission is provided for control by the timing controller 34.
- the transmitting station will typically be the base station.
- FIG 4 schematically shows a possible system architecture for a receiving station which can operate in accordance with the method of the invention.
- the receiving station 40 again includes a transmitter 42 and a receiver 44 with associated coders and decoders 46, 48 performing the same functions as in the circuit of Figure 3, and coupled to an input/output circuit 49.
- the decoder 48 also performs the combination of data in sub-segments arranged as repeated data.
- the system is again under the control of a controller 51 , and for transmission by the receiving station, a frame generator circuit 52 is again provided.
- a switch 53 enables the receiver 44 to cease normal, operation and to survey other communication channels during the null periods defined in the down-link channel.
- the receiver 44 provides information to an analysis circuit 54 which provides information to the overall controlling unit 51 which controls the system to generate a handover request in a subsequent up-link transmission.
- the controller can also implement the interruption to the transmitted signal from the station 40 corresponding with the null periods in the down-link channel.
- the functions of the receiving station and the transmitting station may be combined in a single device.
