Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system, apparatus and method of providing user- services over wireless telecommunications services, or the like. More specifically, the present invention relates to call management in a manner which can provide good usage of available radio resources in wireless systems.
- CDMA, FDMA and TDMA are common techniques used for mobile wireless phone systems and traditionally, such wireless technology has focused on tackling problems with establishing and maintaining telephone connections where subscriber stations are mobile in relation to one or more base stations.
- WLL wireless local loop
- Known WLL systems generally implement fixed versions of known mobile wireless systems, including analog cellular and GSM or CDMA cellular.
- the demand for WLL systems is expected to increase in North America where local telephone service is now substantially deregulated, but the cost of wiring homes to compete with existing local telephone companies is generally prohibitive.
- WLL offers the ability to provide local telephone service without the need to wire the subscriber's house.
- One problem with implementing fixed versions of known mobile wireless systems is the incompatibility with subscriber's existing handsets, facsimile machines, answering machines and other equipment with such known mobile systems, thus requiring subscribers to buy new equipment.
- WLL systems based upon mobile cellular technologies can provide reasonable voice performance, they do not provide a cost effective range of services and/or bandwidth efficiencies that will be desired for WLL systems.
- a system for managing a communication link comprising: a first node for linking a bandwidth-sparse medium and a second medium; a second node connectable to the first node via the second medium; and a third node connectable to the second node via the first node using a channel over the bandwidth-sparse medium, the third node having a call-manager operable to exchange signaling information with the first node via the bandwidth-sparse medium and for establishing the channel when the first node signals the call manager that the second node desires a connection to the third node.
- the channel is a voice channel and the signaling information occurs over a signaling channel.
- the second medium is a bandwidth- abundant medium, such as a public switched telephone network.
- the second node is a telephone handset.
- the first node is a wireless base station and the third-node is a wireless subscriber station connected to a telephone handset.
- a method for placing a call over a communication link comprising the steps of: initiating the call using a telephone connected to a wireless subscriber station; generating a dial-tone at the subscriber station and presenting the dial-tone at the telephone; receiving a telephone number at the subscriber station; transmitting the number over a signaling channel to a base station; initiating a wired telephone connection between the base station and a destination telephone associated with the number; outputting a connection status indicia at the telephone corresponding to the progress of the call; and establishing a voice communication channel between the telephone and base station for carrying a voice telephone call between the telephone and the destination telephone if each of the telephone and the destination telephone are ready to commence a voice conversation.
- the present invention provides a novel system, method and apparatus for managing call progress in a multiple access system having a base station and a plurality of subscriber stations.
- the system provides for a call manager at a subscriber station that is operable to generate call progress tones to a telephone at the subscriber station, and to reserve the allocation of a voice channel between the subscriber station and the base station until the telephone at the subscriber station and a telephone at the other end of the telephone call are actually 'picked-up'.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a WLL system in accordance with the present invention
- Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of a subscriber station and the base station in the system of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 shows a method for initiating a telephone call in accordance with another embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 4 shows a method for receiving a telephone call in accordance with another embodiment of the invention.
- system 20 is a wireless local loop (WLL) that includes a radio base station 24 which is preferably connected to a telecommunications network 28, such as a land line-based switched telephone network and/or a packet switched data network, by an appropriate gateway and one or more backhauls 32.
- WLL wireless local loop
- Backhaul 32 can be a Tl , T3, El , E3, OC3 or other suitable land line link, or can be a satellite or other radio or microwave channel link or any other link suitable for operation as a backhaul as will occur to those of skill in the art.
- backhaul 32 and telecommunications network 28 are typically used for wired connections, it is to be understood that, in general, backhaul 32 and telecommunications network 28 are conceptually a network resource that is not constrained by limited bandwidth, i.e. a bandwidth-abundant medium.
- Base station 24 communicates over a communication link 36 with a plurality of subscriber stations 40 which are installed at subscriber premises.
- link 36 is conceptually a network resource that is constrained by limited bandwidth., i.e. a bandwidth-sparse medium.
- link 36 represents a portion of radio bandwidth dedicated to system 20.
- Link 36 is divided into a plurality of channels 44, that can be created using known TDMA, FDMA or CDMA techniques.
- each channel 44 can be dedicated to a particular subscriber station 40, as needed.
- each channel 44 can occupy different amounts of bandwidth in relation to each other, in accordance with the amount of radio resources required for a particular type of connection between a subscriber station 40 and base station 24.
- the number 'n' of subscriber stations 40 can vary depending upon the amount of radio bandwidth available over link 36 and/or the requirements of the subscriber stations 40.
- link 36 has a bandwidth capacity that is generally capable carrying fewer channels 44 than would be needed if each subscriber station 40 simultaneously required, for example, a voice connection with base station 24. Such capacity can be determined based on known statistical models and methods for determining the likely maximum number of subscriber stations 40 that will simultaneously require a channel 44 and thereby completely occupy communication link 36.
- each subscriber station 40 has at least one telephony port, such as a standard RJ-11 jack, for a conventional telephone 48. It is to be understood that additional telephony ports for facsimile and/or data can be provided in each subscriber station 40 if desired.
- FIG. 2 shows base station 24 and one subscriber station 40 in greater detail.
- Base station 24 comprises an antenna 100 for receiving and transmitting radio-communications over link 36.
- antenna 100 is connected to a radio 104 and a modem 108.
- Modem 108 is connected to a microprocessor-router assembly 112.
- a suitable microprocessor would be a SPARC processor system manufactured by SUN Microsystems. It will be understood that assembly 112 can include multiple microprocessors, as desired.
- the router within microprocessor-router assembly 112 is connected to backhaul 32 in any suitable manner, which in turn connects base station 24 to network 28, which in turn connects to at least one network subscriber telephone 120.
- Subscriber station 40 comprises an antenna 200 for receiving and transmitting radio- communications over link 36.
- antenna 200 is connected to a radio 204 and a modem 208, which in turn is connected to a microprocessor-assembly 212.
- Microprocessor-assembly 212 which can include, for example, a StrongARM processor manufactured by Intel, performs a variety of functions, including implementing A/D-D/A conversion, voice codecs, filters, encoders, data compressors and/or decompressors, packet assembly/disassembly. As seen on Figure 2, microprocessor-assembly 212 interconnects modem 208 and the previously-described telephony port 214. Accordingly, microprocessor-assembly 212 is operable to processes voice-telephone calls between telephone 48 (connected to port 214) and modem 208.
- a StrongARM processor manufactured by Intel performs a variety of functions, including implementing A/D-D/A conversion, voice codecs, filters, encoders, data compressors and/or decompressors, packet assembly/disassembly.
- microprocessor-assembly 212 interconnects modem 208 and the previously-described telephony port 214
- Subscriber station 40 also includes a call progress manager 216 that is connected to microprocessor assembly 212 and is operable, in conjunction with microprocessor-assembly 212 and base station 24, to manage the progress of a telephone call at subscriber station 40.
- Call progress manager 216 includes software, for generating call progress indicia at the receiver of telephone 48.
- the generated indicia are typically audio and can be any of the known call progress tones, such as dial tone, ringing tone, busy signal, fast busy signal, stutter dial-tone.
- the output device can generate visual indicia that indicate the progress of the telephone call for the hearing-impaired subscriber.
- Other types of output devices can be used that are appropriate to the telephone 48 or other subscriber input- output device.
- Call progress manager 216 is also operable to manage the various states of a telephone call of (or other use of) telephone 48, and to manage the allocation/deallocation of channels 44 between subscriber station 40 and base station 24. Furthermore, call progress manager 216 is also operable to establish an appropriately sized channel 44, in accordance with the state of a telephone call at telephone 48. Further details about subscriber station 40 and, in particular, call progress manager 216 will be apparent from the discussion below.
- channel 44 ⁇ is a signaling channel that occupies a relatively small portion of bandwidth in link 36 and is used to carry signal and/or control information between subscriber station 40 and base station 24. It is presently preferred that channel 44 ⁇ is structured so as to occupy the minimum amount of bandwidth that necessary to maintain the state of subscriber station 40 within system 20. For example, a channel structure similar to the IS-95 access channel can be used for channel 44 ⁇ .
- channel 44 2 is a voice communication channel that occupies a relatively larger portion of bandwidth than channel 44 ⁇ , the amount of bandwidth being sufficient to carry a voice telephone call within desired Quality-of-service (QoS) parameters.
- QoS Quality-of-service
- voice communication channel 44 2 remains unallocated and the bandwidth otherwise occupied thereby is available for use by other subscriber stations 40 within system 20.
- signaling channel 44 ⁇ is available to allow subscriber station 40 to carry control information to base station 24, such as requesting the allocation of voice communication channel 44 2 when a voice call is to be carried between telephone 48 and base station 24.
- signaling channel 44 1 can be unallocated while voice channel 44 2 is allocated. In this situation, any signaling between subscriber station 40 and base station 24 can be performed using the bandwidth allocated to voice channel 44 2
- Figure 3 shows a method of managing an outgoing telephone call in accordance with another embodiment of the invention.
- outgoing telephone call means a telephone call originating from telephone 48 (at subscriber station 40) to, for example, network subscriber telephone 120.
- an outgoing telephone call is initiated.
- signaling channel 44 ⁇ is allocated for subscriber station 40 and is thus carrying signal and/or control information between subscriber station 40 and base station 24.
- voice channel 44 2 is unallocated for subscriber station 40 and is thus available for use by other subscriber stations 40 within system 20.
- the call initiation at step 300 is completed by a subscriber using telephone 48, by "picking-up" the handset. Typically the handset is then placed to the ear of the subscriber. The removal of the handset also causes a signal to be directed to microprocessor-assembly 212 and call manager 216, which indicates that the subscriber is initiating an outgoing telephone call.
- a ready-signal is outputted.
- the ready-signal is a conventional dial-tone that is generated by call manager 216, and played at the earpiece of telephone 48 for the listening pleasure of the subscriber.
- the dial-tone can be outputted until the subscriber begins dialing digits in telephone 48 or hangs-up telephone 48 without dialing any digits.
- call manager 216 can play an off-hook signal (such as a multi-frequency howl) if the handset has been off of the cradle of telephone 48 for a predetermined period of time, without the subscriber having dialed any digits or hanging up the telephone 48.
- the destination telephone number is received. This can be accomplished by providing any form of subscriber input that indicates to subscriber station 40 a telephone number that the subscriber wishes to contact. However, in a presently preferred embodiment, this is accomplished by collecting digits that are dialed by the subscriber. Once the first digit is dialed, the dial-tone generated at step 310 is discontinued, and the subscriber only hears DTMF tones (usually generated by telephone 48) that correspond to each digit on telephone 48 as they are depressed. Call manager 216 receives the dialed digits and, using a look-up table, ensures that the dialed sequence conforms with a calling -plan of accepted telephone number sequences.
- call manager 216 will look for long distance numbers in the format 1 -XXX-XXX-XXX. As is also common in the North American standard, call manager 216 can also look for numbers such as 411 , 611 or 911 and connect the subscriber to the appropriate service.
- look-up tables are well known, and can be programmed into call manager 216.
- call manager 216 can output an error message to the earpiece of telephone 48, such as an audio message that states "The number you have dialed cannot be completed as dialed. Please check the number and try your call again.”
- step 320 if at step 320, a recognizable sequence of digits are received, then the sequence of digits are transmitted to base station 24 over signaling channel 44 ⁇ .
- a wired connection is initiated.
- microprocessor-router 112 determines, using conventional methods, whether telephone 120 is 'busy' or 'ringing' and sends this status information back to subscriber station 40 via signaling channel 44 ⁇ . It is to be understood that the actual busy-signal tone or ringing-signal tone is not sent over link 36, but the status information is sent (typically as one or more signaling messages) to call manager 216.
- connection-status signal is outputted.
- the connection-status signal is a tone generated by call manager 216 and outputted at the earpiece of telephone 48.
- the generated tone is appropriate to the status of the information received by subscriber station 40, and thus, if the wired connection between base station 24 and telephone 120 is busy, then a busy signal is outputted to the earpiece of telephone 120. However, if the wired connection is 'ringing', then a ringing tone is outputted at the earpiece of telephone 120.
- the method advances to step 350 where it is determined whether the wired connection is established.
- step 360 the call termination step, where the wired connection is disconnected and the busy-signal is outputted from the earpiece of telephone 48 until the subscriber hangs-up telephone 48. Similarly, if the subscriber hangs-up the handset of telephone 48 prior to the answering of telephone 120, then the method advances to step 360.and the wired connection is disconnected thus terminating the entire call. If, however, telephone 120 is 'answered' (i.e. the handset is picked up, or the call is forwarded to a voicemail service or other telephone that is picked-up), then the method advances to step 370, where the wireless voice connection is established.
- this is accomplished by allocating voice channel 44 2 which is connected with the wired connection established between base station 24 and telephone 120, and thus completing an entire voice connection between telephone 48 and telephone 120. If desired, signaling channel 44 ⁇ can be unallocated during the voice call between telephone 48 and telephone 120 and freeing up this bandwidth for use by other subscriber stations 40 within system 20.
- step 360 The method eventually advances from step 370 to step 360 when the call is terminated in a usual manner, at the request of either subscriber, by, for example, hanging up either telephone 48 or telephone 120.
- Voice channel 44 2 is unallocated and signaling channel 44 ⁇ is reallocated.
- voice channel 44 2 is preferably allocated as late as possible during the method, but within acceptable QoS parameters, in order to keep as much bandwidth as possible available for use by other subscriber stations 40 within system 20 until it is known that both the originating and receiving subscribers wish to complete the call. It will also be apparent that it may be necessary to allocate voice channel 44 2 earlier in the method in order to reduce latency between the answering of the call at telephone 120 and the connection of the voice connection over channel 44 2 with telephone 48. Such latency, if any, can be set according to the desired QoS for subscriber station 40. In some situations, it can be desired to offer a different QoS to each subscriber station 40, and charge a fee-for-service accordingly.
- a 'silver' level QoS may be willing to tolerate some latency between the answering of telephone 120 and the actual connection over channel 44 2 .
- a 'gold' QoS may require no latency, by allocating channel 44 2 at some point earlier in the method shown on Figure 3.
- link 36 has no bandwidth available for a given subscriber, then the subscriber can be deprived of a dial-tone or provided with some other 'not-ready' signal, to indicate to the subscriber that bandwidth is currently unavailable.
- the allocation of channel 44 2 at the last possible moment has an added benefit of reducing interference between different subscriber stations 40 in system 20, thus making it easier for base station 24 to process incoming traffic on the uplink.
- the allocation of channel 44 2 can actually occur in two stages: First, the channel 44 2 can be reserved for use by subscriber station 40, but not actually activated to carry information between subscriber station 40 and base station 24 until the wired connection is established between base station 24 and telephone 120.
- channel 44 2 can be used to carry portions of data to other subscriber stations 40 within system 20 while the wired connection between base station 24 and telephone 120 is being established, but reserved for a voice connection using telephone 48 once the wired connection is established.
- channel 44 2 can be dedicated for a voice conversation between subscriber station 40 and base station 24; the remainder of the data can be sent to other subscriber stations 40 can be sent over other channels on link 36. It is believed that foregoing can be used to reduce the time to establish the wireless connection with telephone 48 once telephone 120 is answered.
- the tolerance for latency on data communications can be used as a buffer for switching bandwidth between voice and data usage, to thus increase efficient use of the bandwidth on link 36.
- Figure 4 shows a method of managing an incoming telephone call in accordance with another embodiment of the invention.
- incoming telephone call means a telephone call originating from, for example, telephone 120 to subscriber telephone 48.
- an incoming telephone call is received at base station 24.
- signaling channel 44 1 is allocated for subscriber station 40 and is carrying control and/or signaling information between subscriber station 40 and base station 24.
- voice channel 44 2 is unallocated and is available for use by other subscriber stations 40 in system 20.
- subscriber station 40 is notified of the incoming call. This is accomplished by sending status information over signaling channel 44 ⁇ .
- the actual 'ringing signal' is not sent, but simply the status information of the incoming call is sent as one or more control bits.
- call manager 216 sends a signal to telephone 48 to make it 'ring', and thus indicate to the subscriber that there is an incoming call.
- the method then advances to step 430, where telephone 48 continues to ring and it is determined whether telephone 48 is answered.
- step 440 the wireless connection is established.
- call manager 216 discontinues sending a 'ring' to telephone 48, voice channel 44 2 is allocated to carry voice traffic between subscriber station 40 and base station 24.
- the incoming call is thus connected, as a complete voice telephone line is established from telephone 120, through base station 24, over channel 44 2 and to telephone 48.
- Channel 44 2 remains allocated until telephone 48 and/or telephone 120 is hung-up and the method advances to step 450 where the call is terminated by unallocating voice channel 44 2 and reallocating signaling channel 44 2 .
- step 430 telephone 48 is not answered before telephone 120 is hung-up, then the method advances directly step 450 without ever establishing voice channel 44 2 , and the call is terminated.
- step 450 call manager
- the present invention can work in conjunction with a voicemail system integral to system 20 in such a manner as to obtain the bandwidth management benefits discussed herein. Further bandwidth advantages can be obtained by using the present invention in conjunction with the voicemail system discussed in applicant's copending application Voicemail for Wireless Systems, Canadian Patent Application Number 2,302,460
- system 20 can have additional base stations 24, as desired, where some subscriber stations 40 are within range of two or more base stations 24, and that communications between multiple base stations 24 and subscriber stations 40 can be managed using known soft-handoff techniques.
- Other known wireless architectures can be employed.
- base station 24 can be multi-sectored, each sector being defined by directional antennas, each sector comprising a different reception footprint and thus allowing reuse of available spectrum between sectors serviced from a single base station 24.
- the present invention can be suitable for other types of multiple access systems in addition to WLL embodiments discussed herein, such as wired networks, and can be particularly suitable for any system where the management of limited bandwidth is improved by the management of at least a portion of the call occurs at the subscriber's premises. Furthermore, it is contemplated that the present invention can be applied to mobile cellular technology, including those employing CDMA, TDMA, FDMA or other multiple access techniques or combinations thereof.
- the present invention can be modified to telecommunication systems for the hearing impaired, where the subscriber is given call progress indicia by, for example, visual or tactile indicators instead of audio tones. It is contemplated that the exact type of indicia can be defined to include musical numbers, radio broadcasts or advertisements. In the latter example, it is contemplated that subscribers can be offered incentives, such as reduced rates for access to system 20, where it is agreed that the subscribers will have advertisements in lieu of traditional call-progress indicia. While the embodiments discussed herein have been directed to calls between one subscriber station 40 in system 20 and subscribers located on a wired network, it will be understood that the present invention can be used for managing calls between subscriber stations 40 within system 20.
- the present invention provides a novel, system, method and apparatus for managing calls in a multiple access system by providing a subscriber station with a call manager or other means to manage the generation of call progress tones and leaving the allocation of a portion of a communication link with limited resources until it is known that an originating or incoming call will actually be completed.
- the present invention can reduce interference on the uplink from a subscriber station to a base station, thus assisting in the base stations ability to simultaneously process uplink traffic from a plurality of other subscriber stations.
- the present invention also presents an interface to wireless system that appears substantially identical to a wired network, thus assisting in consumer acceptance of the wireless system and providing enhancements of bandwidth management over known wireless systems.
- the scalability of the base station can be enhanced as resources added to the base station need not handle the generation of tones or other output signals at the subscriber's telephone.
