Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to the field of communication systems, more particularly to communicating content over wireless channels.
- GSM Global Standard for Mobile Communication
- TDMA time division multiple access
- RF radio frequency
- IS-136 Interim Standards, such as IS-136, that define various versions of digital advanced mobile phone service (D-AMPS), and analog advanced mobile phone service (A- AMPS), with the capability of transmitting voice and data to subscribers.
- D-AMPS digital advanced mobile phone service
- A- AMPS analog advanced mobile phone service
- GPRS General Packet Radio Service
- SMS Circuit Switched Data and Short Message Service
- GPRS involves overlaying a packet based air interface on the existing circuit switched GSM network, thereby giving end users an option to use a packet-based data service.
- the information is split into separate but related "packets" before being transmitted and reassembled at a receiving end.
- radio resources are used only when end users are actually sending or receiving data. Rather than dedicating a radio channel to an end user communication device for a fixed period of time, the available radio resource can be concurrently shared between several communication devices, thereby allowing a large number of GPRS users to share the same bandwidth within a single cell. The actual number of users supported depends on the application being used and how much data is being transferred.
- GPRS also facilitates instant connections whereby information can be sent or received immediately as the need arises.
- GPRS also facilitates new applications not previously available over GSM networks due to the limitations in speed of Circuit Switched Data (9.6 kbps) and message length of the Short Message Service (160 characters).
- GPRS enables Mobile Internet functionality by allowing inter- working between the existing Internet and a GPRS- enabled network.
- any service that is used over the fixed Internet today for example, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), web browsing, chat, email, telnet, can also be available over the GPRS-enabled network.
- FTP File Transfer Protocol
- the World Wide Web is becoming the primary communications interface, with users accessing the Internet for entertainment and information collection, the intranet for accessing company information and connecting with colleagues, and the extranet for accessing customers and suppliers.
- web browsing and providing web content are two important applications for GPRS.
- the GPRS network can be viewed as a sub-network of the Internet with GPRS-enabled communication devices being viewed as mobile hosts. This means that each of the GPRS-enabled communication devices can have its own IP address and be addressable as such. It is known to transmit content comprised of data packets to communication devices over wireless channels. Conventional systems however communicate tailored content to communication devices that have known functionality.
- the features of the communicated content are tailored to the functionality level of each of the communication devices.
- the manufacturers offer such devices on various platforms with different degrees of processing and display functionality.
- the content cannot be easily tailored to support all of the available functionality levels the of communication devices. Consequently, depending on the functionality level, full features of the content cannot be presented to all end users. For example, a communication device may not be able to support the functionally of the incoming content data or simply may not be able to process the data at the incoming data rate.
- a basic communication device may not have the processing capability to properly present the content to the end user. Even a more advanced communication device may not be able to communicate with the sender at a required data rate because of its proximity to the sender. In either case, the sender, which is unaware of the capability of the various communication devices, is forced to transmit the data packets without regards to whether the associated content of the packets are properly presented to end users.
- the ambiguity in transmitting complex data at random data rates leads to errors that result in termination of data transfer for some end users, with the generated errors also significantly contributing to inefficient use of valuable radio bandwidth due to retransmissions caused by the errors.

- FIG. 3 illustrates a diagram for a GPRS air interface in the communication system of FIG. 1.

- FIG. 7 illustrates a flow diagram for a method for communicating content in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 8 illustrates a data packet diagram for communicating content in accordance with the present invention.
- the present invention relates to a communication system that provides content to communication devices over one or more wireless channels.
- the wireless channels support packet data communication under a specified radio packet data transmission protocol, such as GPRS.
- the content can be communicated with the communication device as data packets that are transmitted over an air interface, such as GSM or IS-136 air interface or any other air interface that supports packet data transmissions.
- the communication system receives proximity information and functionality level information from a communication device.
- the functionality level information can for example relate to communication device's processing or content display capabilities.
- the proximity information can for example correspond to a received signal strength from the communication device at a communication system base station.
- the proximity information can be transmitted from the communication device in terms of coordinates corresponding to a defined positioning system.
- the system determines an optimum data rate and content format for communicating the content with the communication device. Using the optimum data rate and content format, the content is transmitted to the communication device over a wireless channel, thereby optimizing the air time.
- the system can adjust the number of data packets that are transmitted for representing the content based on the functionality level information of the communication device. For example, the number of communicated data packets can be reduced if the functionality level of the content is higher than the functionality level of the communication device.
- the data packets are communicated with control information that defines the content format.
- the content format specifies how the content is presented or displayed at the communication device. For example, if the content comprises a graphic content made up of a number of data packets that correspond to graphic images, the graphic content is transmitted with control information that include at least one of number of graphic images, size of each graphic image, graphic display speed, screen size format of each graphic image, and functionality level of the graphic content. Similarly, audio or any other type of content may be communicated with corresponding control information. Based on the control information, which define the content format, determination is made at the communication device as to how to present the content to the user.
- the way in which the content is presented to the user can be determined either at the communication system level or at the communication device level. For example, upon receipt of the functionality level information, the communication system can determine how to present the content to the user. The communication system can adjust the number of data packets representing the content to a level that can be handled by the communication device. Alternatively, the communication system can transmit all of content data packets to the communication device, where the device would only use a number of the data packets commensurate with its functionality level to present the content to the user.
- a communication device in accordance with the present invention includes a transmitter that transmits proximity information and functionality level information (e.g., processing or displays capability) to the communication system.
- the proximity information can be based on a transmitted communication signal from the communication device and received at the communication system, whereby the received signal strength indicates the proximity information.
- the proximity information can be based on a positioning receiver such as GPS receiver in the communication device.
- the communication device also includes a receiver that receives one or more content data packets transmitted based on the proximity and functionality level information.
- the data packets are received with control information that is processed by a controller to present or display the content data packets at the communication device.
- the moving graphic content comprising a number of graphic image data packets can for example be displayed as still images at the communication device, when the functionality level of the graphic content is higher than the functionality level at the communication device.
- the communication system 10 is by way of example a GSM communication system, which provides wireless voice and data communication capability for a plurality of communication devices 12.
- the mode of operation of a GSM communication systems 10 is described in European Telecommunication Standard Institute (ETSI) documents ETS 300 573, ETS 300 574 and ETS 300 578. Therefore, the operation of the communication system 10 is described only to the extent necessary to enable one skilled in the art to make and use the present invention.
- ETSI European Telecommunication Standard Institute
- CDPD Code Division Access
- the communication system 10 is designed as a hierarchical network with multiple levels for managing calls and transmission of voice and packet data. Using an allocated set of uplink and downlink RF channels, a number of communication devices 12 operating within the communication system 10 participate in calls using allocated time slots that form logical communication channels.
- a group of Mobile Service Switching Center (MSCs) 26 (only one is shown) is responsible for the routing of calls from an originator to a destination. In particular, they are responsible for setup, control and termination of calls and broadcasting of text messages.
- each MSC 26 is connected to a group of base station subsystems (BSS) 22 (only one is shown).
- BSS base station subsystems
- the primary function of a BSS 22 is radio resource management. For example, based on reported received signal strength at the communication devices 12, the BSS 22 determines whether to initiate a hand over. Under the GSM standard, the BSS 22 communicates with the MSC 26 using a standard interface known as the A-interface.
- each one of the BSS 22 control a group of base transceiver station (BTS) 24.
- Each BTS 24 includes a number of transceivers (TRXs) that use the uplink and downlink RF channels to serve a particular common geographical area.
- the BTS 24 primarily provide the RF links for the transmission and reception of data bursts to and from the communication device 12 within their designated cell.
- the mobile data messaging service of the communication system 10 is provided by a GPRS defined standard.
- a GPRS network 14 deployed in the communication system 10 utilizes the existing GSM nodes, in addition to others, for supporting packet switching, and inter- working with existing packet data networks, such as Internet 16, X-25 networks 18 and a private networks 20. In this way, various types of content, such as image content made up of moving images, can be communicated to the communication devices 12.
- the communication devices 12 are also equipped to handle GPRS provided mobile packet data service, in addition to handling voice service. Examples of such communication devices 12 include smart phones, Personal Digital Assistances (PDA), or portable computers, such as a lap tops, or palm tops that operate with or without a cellular telephone.
- PDA Personal Digital Assistances
- GPRS packets carrying the various types of content are sent from the BSS 22 to a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) 28.
- the SGSN 28 is the node within the GSM infrastructure that sends and receives packet data to and from the communication devices 12, while keeping track of the communication devices 12 within a covered service area.
- the SGSN 28 communicates with a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) 30, via a backbone network 32, which is a system that maintains connections with other networks such as the Internet 16, X.25 networks 18 or private networks 20.
- the GPRS network 14 can use multiple serving nodes, but requires only one gateway node for connecting to an external network such as the Internet 16.
- the communication devices 12 send packets of data via the SGSN 28 to the GGSN 30, which converts them for transmission over a desired network.
- the desired network could be the Internet 16, X.25 networks 18 or private networks 20.
- data packets representing web content and images from the Internet 16 addressed to the communication devices 12 are received by the GGSN 30, forwarded to the SGSN 28 and then transmitted to the communication devices 12.
- the SGSN 28 and GGSN 30 encapsulate these packets using a specialized protocol called the GPRS tunnel protocol (GTP), which operates over the top of standard TCP/IP protocols.
- GTP GPRS tunnel protocol
- the MSC 26 and SGSN 28 are associated with corresponding Home Location Registers (HLR) 34 and Visitors Location Registers (VLR) 36, which maintain user/subscriber information for roaming and billing purposes.
- An Authentication Center (AUC) 38 provides authentication functionality when placing voice and data calls.
- the NLR 36 and HLR 34 and AUC 38 need not be physically associated with the location of a MSC 26 or SGS ⁇ 28, since the network gives full connectivity to all of the associated components and nodes.
- the MSC 26 is also connected to a public switching telephone network (PSTN), to give connectivity between fixed landline subscribers and mobile subscribers.
- PSTN public switching telephone network
- the communication protocol stack 40 for communicating data packets between the communication system 10 and the communication devices 12 is shown.
- the communication protocol stack 40 comprises: a subnetwork dependent control protocol (SNDCP) layer that encrypts and compresses data packet segments; a logical link control (LLC) layer that links an underlying air or radio interface to the SGSN 20; a radio link control (RLC) layer that supports error correction; a medium access control (MAC) layer that supports slotted ALOHA scheme; a physical link sub-layer (PLL) that frames and codes the packets and also manages the physical medium error; and a radio frequency layer (RFL) that modulates and demodulates the transmitted packet over the radio frequency channels.
- SNDCP subnetwork dependent control protocol
- LLC logical link control
- RLC radio link control
- MAC medium access control
- PLL physical link sub-layer
- PLL physical link sub-layer
- RTL radio frequency layer
- the radio frequency channels in the GSM/GPRS implementation are divided into repetitive frames comprising 8 time slots.
- the IP / X.25 packet within the communication protocol stack 40 is converted to a corresponding IP/X.25 packet within the protocol stack 44 used in a wired network.
- FIG. 3 a diagram illustrates the air interface for the communication system 10.
- the communication channels comprise radio frequency (RF) channels having specified carrier frequencies.
- RF channel uplink or downlink
- repetitive time frames during which voice and date are communicated.
- Each frame which can be a super- frame or a hyper-frame, is further divided into time slots or logical channels that carry packets of information. Speech is transmitted during logical channels designated as traffic channels (TCH). All signaling functions pertaining to call management in the system, including initiation, hand over, and termination are handled via information transmitted over signaling channels, which can be dedicated or associated signaling channels. The functions of some of the dedicated signaling channels are:
- BCCH Broadcast Control Channel
- BTSs such as a BTS identity.
- Standalone Dedicated Control Channel which is transmitted at a time slot adjacent to the BCCH, is used for registration, location updating, authentication and call set-up.
- - Paging channel is a downlink only channel, for informing the mobile unit of a network signaling requirement, for example when the communication device is called.
- Access Grant Channel is a downlink only channel used for replies to access requests, for assigning a dedicated control channel for subsequent signaling.
- SACCH Slow Associated Control Channel
- FIG. 4 a sequential diagram illustrates a base station initiated data transfer 46 in accordance with the present invention.
- the base station subsystem 22 (BSS) sends a packet paging request to the communication devices 12 to initiate the data transfer 46 process.
- the BSS 22 assigns and transmits a packet channel assignment to the communication device 12.
- the BSS 22 transmits content and non-content relates packet data and continues with various acknowledgements and error checks for presenting content to a user in accordance with the present invention.
- a sequential diagram illustrates a communication device initiated data transfer 48 in accordance with the present invention.
- the communication devices 12 send a packet channel request to the BSS 22, requesting a transmission frequency channel and time slots.
- the communication devices 12 send a packet resource request, referred to as a communication resource allocation request, to the BSS 22.
- the BSS 22 assigns resources to the communication device 12 which can, for example, correspond to a number assigned time slots.
- the communication devices 12 then transmit and receive packet data and continue with the various acknowledgements and error checks which complete content communication in accordance with the present invention.

- the communication devices 12 operate under the control of a controller 54 which provides a duplex data communication under a specified communication protocol.
- the controller 54 is programmed to provide the duplex communication service under radio frequency channels that are divided into repetitive time frames. Under GSM protocol, for example, each time frame is divided into 8 time slots.
- the communication devices 12 include a microphone 56 that produces a voice signal that corresponds to the user's voice.
- the voice signal is converted to voice data 58.
- the communication devices 12 under the control of the controller 54 also produce packet data 60, for example, based on user input as received from a user interface 62.
- a transmit-data baseband processor 64 processes the voice data 58 and packet data 60 originated at the communication device 12.
- a modulator 66 modulates the baseband- processed voice data 58 and packet data 60 to produce a modulated signal.
- a power amplifier 68 amplifies the modulated signal to generate an amplified modulated communication signal at a specified frequency or frequency spectrum.
- the amplified communication signal is radiated via an antenna 70 through an TX/RX interface 72 that facilitates the duplex data communication under the control of the controller 54.
- the antenna 70 can be any one of an antenna known to those skilled in the art, for example, a monopole antenna, a dipole antenna, an array of dipole antennas, a micro strip antenna, and a plasma antenna.
- the communication devices 12 receive electromagnetic radiation at the antenna 70.
- the received electromagnetic signal received at the antenna 70 is demodulated using a demodulator 74 and is coupled to a receive-data baseband processor 76 through to the TR/RX interface 72.
- the communication signal is segregated into the content packet data 60 and the voice data 58 using the receive- data baseband processor 76.
- the voice data 58 is properly routed to a speaker 78 in order to convert the communication signal into audible sound.
- the content packet data 60 is routed to a buffer 80, which manages the packet data 60.
- the content packet data 60 can then be loaded onto the user interface 62 for user interaction, for example, to present images to the user on a display device.
- the communication devices 12 can also include a proximity sensor or a positioning receiver 82 that provide proximity information, e.g., coordinates of the communication devices 12, to the controller 54.
