Definitions

  • the present invention relates to positioning of a mobile terminal in a digital wireless telecommunication and data communication network. Particularly does the present invention relate to terminal assisted continuous positioning by means of an efficient utilization of radio resources, at which the number of paging-messages in connection with the continuous positioning is reduced.
  • the mobile communication networks of today are adapted to efficiently utilize of existing radio resources. A consequence of this is that the communication network does not continuously keep track of in which cell a mobile terminal is. Usually it is only when a terminal shall be reached via for instance speech or data, that the communication network finds out in which cell a mobile terminal is by a so called paging-message . From a positioning perspective this means that each time one wants to find out where a terminal mobile is, the network has to initiate paging. If the position of the mobile terminal shall be obtained continuously, the terminal consequently has to be found out at each positioning occasion, which results in an increased load in the communication network in form of, for instance, a large amount of paging- messages .
  • the American patent US 5,943,327 A shows a method to reduce signaling in connection with establishing of connection.
  • a mobile station which is in a cell is allocated, via a signal channel, a transmission channel belonging to the cell. This makes transmission of data packets possible without a paging-message first being needed to be transmited.
  • the network obtains information about the identity of the cell in which the mobile station for the time being is, from data packets which the mobile station has transmitted earlier.
  • the European patent application EP 1 191 800 A2 shows a method by which data can be transmitted directly to a mobile station without any paging-message first being transmitted. If the mobile station is in a certain cell, it can be set in stationary mode. The mobile station stays in the cell as long as the signal quality is above a certain threshold value. It is only when the mobile station is in stationary mode that a paging-message need not be transmitted.
  • the American patent US 6,400,943 Bl shows a method in which paging-messages are transmitted. These paging- messages are transmitted to a mobile station which is in a specific/certain cell. Information about the cells is obtained by the mobile station at regular intervals giving/ providing its position to the network.
  • One disadvantage with the known technology/prior art is that it requires that the mobile station transmits a data packet to make it possible for the network to obtain information about the cell in which the mobile station is, that is, the mobile station has to transmit a data packet to make the network receive information about the position of the mobile station.
  • Another disadvantage with the known technology is that it is based on that a mobile station can be set in one of a plurality/number of modes, and that it is only when the mobile station is in stationary mode that paging messages need not be transmitted.
  • One aim of the present invention therefore is to provide continuous positioning of a mobile terminal under reduced load of the communication network.
  • Another aim with the present invention is to provide terminal-assisted continuous positioning-updating.
  • Figure 2 shows a flow chart over a procedure for positioning enquiry/request according to the invention.
  • GPRS General Packet Radio Service
  • UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
  • the invention relates to a procedure, a system and a computer program product which makes possible that a mobile terminal always is in a mode so that the communication network knows in which cell the mobile terminal is, at which continuous positioning/position finding of mobile terminals in a mobile communication network, for instance GPRS or UMTS, is provided.
  • a mobile communication network for instance GPRS or UMTS
  • the invention includes on the one hand a software which is arranged to be executed in the mobile terminal, and on the other a change of the positioning procedure.
  • the software can be implemented by, for instance, Java or SIM toolkit.
  • This software is arranged to be transmitted to a mobile terminal, for instance to the terminal's SIM- card (SIM, Subscriber Identity Module) or the like, via the mobile communication network, at which the software is arranged to be executed in the mobile terminal.
  • SIM- card SIM, Subscriber Identity Module
  • the software includes software/program code parts which are arranged to attend to that the terminal always is in a mode which causes that the network knows in which cell the terminal is. This can, for instance, be effected by software code parts controlling the mobile terminal to, at suitable intervals, transmit and/or receive data.
  • the change in the positioning procedure relates to a change in the positioning enquiry/request so that it can be made in two ways.
  • a positioning enquiry/request can be made by asking for a mobile terminal's position with, for instance, cell ID (cell identity) and TA (TA, Timing Advance) , which initiates a paging. It should be understood that other methods, such as E-OTD, A-GPS, etc also can be used.
  • FIG 2 a second way of making a positioning enquiry/request is shown.
  • a positioning enquiry/request also can be made by asking for the terminal's position with only cell ID. According to this procedure no paging-message is transmitted in the cases when the terminal is already known at cell-level.
  • an enquiry/request can be made in an alternative way, for instance cell ID position, but an enquiry/request also can be made as cheapest position etc.
  • a mobile terminal such as a mobile telephone or one by hand carried computer which shall utilize services with continous positioning by that can be equipped with the software, and by that the mobile terminal can be positioned without extra paging messages being needed to be transmitted and in that way the paging-laod is reduced in the mobile communication network.
  • Example The Company Spedition Ltd shall utilize a traffic information service.
  • the traffic information service compares the position of each incoming vehicle with traffic disruptions, if any, in the area.
  • the terminals which Spedition Ltd have in their vehicles are equipped with a software. By terminal assisted updating of positions,
  • Spedition Ltd can utilize the traffic information service where the position of the vehicle is checked regularly, for instance every minute, without continuously loading the mobile network with paging messages.

Abstract

L'invention concerne la localisation continue d'un terminal mobile dans un réseau de télécommunication et de communication de données sans fil numérique comprenant une pluralité de cellules et au moins un terminal mobile. Selon l'invention, ledit terminal mobile comprend des dispositifs servant à exécuter des parties codées de programme qui commandent ledit terminal mobile de façon qu'il soit toujours dans un mode permettant d'indiquer audit réseau de communication dans quelle cellule se trouve ce terminal mobile, de faire une demande/requête de localisation seulement à l'aide de l'identifiant de cellule et de donner une réponse à ladite demande de localisation.
