Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and arrangement for locating a mobile station. By means of the invention it is observed whether the mobile station is located in a predetermined area.
  • the invention is advantageously applied for defining call tariffs, or for defining available services on the basis of the location of the mobile station in question.
  • the accuracy of the localisation methods belonging to the basic functions of cellular networks is not sufficient with respect to the above mentioned applications.
  • By means of roaming it is found out where the mobile phone is located at each particular moment - in which operator's network and in which location area. On the basis of paging, the location of the mobile station is found out more accurately, but only on the accuracy level of one cell.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate some of the drawbacks of the prior art by creating a completely new solution, where the location of a mobile station within a determined area can be detected accurately, reliably and by means of fairly simple devices.

  • the transmission power is so low that the signal is detected for example within a range of a few tens of meters only.
  • the signal is formed so that it can be distinguished from other signals that are active within the same area.
  • a mobile station that detects its own identity code in the channel used by the transmitters sends a signal message to the mobile system. The message announces that the mobile station is "at home”.
  • the system advantageously uses this information so that at least for the mobile originated calls there is set a lower tariff than when the mobile station is outside the range of said transmitter (transmitters).
  • An advantage of the invention is that the location of the mobile station in a given place can be detected by means of an arrangement which does not cause technical problems in the network nor expenses connected thereto. Another advantage of the invention is that the required facility equipment is simple and thus economical in manufacturing/purchasing costs. Yet another advantage of the invention is that when the mobile station is located at home, all calls directed thereto can, when desired, be automatically transferred to the fixed wireline telephone. Moreover, it is an advantage of the invention that in a certain mode, it can be provided with a function common to all mobile stations, such as switching the phone off in an aeroplane.
  • the invention brings forth the advantage that there opens up a practical possibility to compete of customers who have a traditional fixed wireline telephone; from the the mobile station subscriber's point of view the advantage of the invention is that the operation costs of the mobile station are cut down due to cheaper home calls. Yet another advantage is that the cheaper home calls can be made without having to use the fixed wireline telephone.

  • the transmission power is so low that the field 110 of said radio transmitter extends in detectable form only to the premises 100 and to the immediate vicinity thereof.
  • the area where the mobile station identity code can be detected is in the specification and in the appended claims called the home area of said mobile station.

  • the mobile station 102 is first located in a place [1], where the field strength of the guide unit 101 is in practice zero. Then the mobile station is transferred to another place [2], where the field 110 of the guide unit is observed and the signal contained therein detected. Now the mobile station identifies its own identity code in the signal from the guide unit and transmits, by using the network signalling connection 120, to the mobile switching centre 103 a message that it is located in the home area. Thereafter the calls originated from the mobile station 102 are billed according to a tariff that is lower than before the mobile station entered the home area.
  • the mobile switching centre 103 maintains the lower tariff until the mobile station 102 indicates that it is located outside the range of the guide unit 101, or when the base station connection of the mobile station is interrupted.

  • Separate guide units meant for different mobile stations but using the same guide channel can be located fairly near to each other. In order to distinguish between the various identity codes, the guide signals must be further channelled in the guide channel. In theory, the same time division technique could be applied as in other frequency division channels of said digital network, but the system would become unreasonably complicated and expensive. It is, however, advantageous to apply in the guide units CDM (Code Division Multiplexing) or frequency hopping. In the latter case, the carrier wave frequency is arranged to fluctuate according to a sequence formed of the numbers of the identity code.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de localisation d'une station mobile, permettant de détecter si une station mobile se trouve dans une zone prédéterminée. Lesdits procédé et dispositif sont conçus sur l'idée de base suivante. Un émetteur (101) émettant de manière répétée le code d'identité de ladite station mobile, est installé à domicile et/ou dans un autre lieu de résidence permanent. La puissance d'émission est si faible que le signal ne peut être détecté que dans un rayon de quelques dizaines de mètres, par exemple. Le signal est formé de sorte qu'il puisse être distingué des autres signaux éventuels actifs dans la même zone. Une station mobile qui détecte son propre code d'identité dans la voie utilisée par l'émetteur, envoie un message de signalisation au système mobile. Le message signale que la station mobile se trouve dans la zone prédéterminée. Le système (103) utilise avantageusement ces informations de sorte qu'au moins pour les connexions provenant de ladite station mobile, un tarif inférieur à celui appliqué si la station mobile était hors de portée du ou desdits émetteurs soit appliqué.
