Abstract

When a mobile machine (100) moves from a position registration area (LA1) to another position registration area (LA2), it transmits a position registration request to a network. A mobile exchange (104) on the network side refers to the call arrival record (503) of the mobile machine (100). If the calls (Q) does not exceed a threshold (R) and the moves (M) between the position registration areas (LA1⇔LA2) exceeds a threshold (N), they are combined into one position registration area (LA1+LA2) and notifies the mobile machine (100) of it. The notified mobile machine (100) records the expanded position registration area (LA1+LA2). With this, even if the mobile machine (100) moves into the position registration area (LA1) again, the mobile machine (100) judges that the move is within the same registration area, and does not transmit a second position registration request to the network, thereby achieving efficient use of wireless resources.

本発明は、 移動体通信網における移動機が在圏している位置の登録に関し、 特 に、 移動機の移動状態および通信状態に対応した適切な位置登録を行い、 無線リ ソースを効率的に使用できる移動交換機、 移動機、 移動体通信システムおよび位 置登録拡張方法に関する。 背景技術  The present invention relates to registration of a location where a mobile station is located in a mobile communication network, and in particular, performs appropriate location registration corresponding to the movement state and communication state of the mobile station to efficiently use wireless resources. The present invention relates to a mobile exchange, a mobile station, a mobile communication system, and a location registration extension method that can be used. Background art
移動体通信システムは、 移動機 (UE) と、 基地局制御装置 (RN C) と、 基 地局 (B S ) と、 移動交謹 (MS C) と、 移動交謹に設けられ、 移動機の位 置情報を登録しているロケーションレジスタ (V L R) とを有して構築されてい る。 このような移動体通信システムにおいて、 移動機の場所は固定ではなく常に 移動する。 このため、 移動機への着信時にその通信を確立できるように、 網 (移 動交換機) 側では、 移動機の位置を予め位置登録する管理が必要である。  The mobile communication system is provided for a mobile station (UE), a base station controller (RNC), a base station (BS), a mobile station (MSC), and a mobile station. It is constructed with a location register (VLR) that registers location information. In such a mobile communication system, the location of the mobile device is not fixed but always moves. For this reason, it is necessary for the network (mobile switching equipment) to manage the location of the mobile device in advance so that the communication can be established when the call arrives at the mobile device.
具体的には、 移動機の位置は、 移動交換機に設けられたロケーションレジスタ 内で加入者情報の一部として位置登録ェリアと呼ばれる地域的区分により管理さ れている。 また、 移動機側にもロケーションレジスタと同じ位置登録エリア情報 が記録されている。 移動機の位置登録手順は、 移動機が電源を入れた際と、 その 後、 通信中ではない移動機が位置登録エリアを跨って移動する際に、 移動機側か ら網に対して要求し実行される。  Specifically, the location of the mobile unit is managed as a part of the subscriber information in a location register provided in the mobile exchange by a regional division called a location registration area. Also, the same location registration area information as the location register is recorded on the mobile device side. The location registration procedure of the mobile unit requires a request from the mobile unit to the network when the mobile unit is turned on and then when a mobile unit that is not communicating moves across the location registration area. Be executed.
ところで、 近年、 移動体通信システムを利用するユーザが増え、 網上のデータ 量も増えてきている。 ここで、 移動機と、 網側の基地局間との無線リソースには 限りがあることから、 この無線リソースを効率よく利用するさまざまな方法が検 討されている。 従来の位置登録方法としては、 例えば、 移動機が位置登録エリアを跨って移動 する場合、 位置登録エリアを跨った時点で、 常に位置登録を行うよう構成したも のがある。 網は、 移動機に着信のための呼び出し (Pa g i n g) 信号を送出す るエリアを確定するために、 常に移動機の在圏ェリァを認識する。 By the way, in recent years, the number of users using the mobile communication system has increased, and the amount of data on the network has also increased. Here, since the radio resources between the mobile station and the base station on the network side are limited, various methods for efficiently using the radio resources are being studied. As a conventional location registration method, for example, when a mobile station moves across a location registration area, there is a configuration in which location registration is always performed when the mobile station crosses the location registration area. The network always recognizes the mobile's location area in order to determine the area in which to send a paging signal to the mobile.

以上のように、 位置登録ェリア L A 1にレ、た移動機 100力 位置登録ェリァ LA2に移動したとき、 移動機 100は、 網に対して位置登録手順を実施して、 移動機 100および移動交謹 104の口ケーションレジスタ V L Rの位置情報 が位置登録エリア L A 2に更新される。 これにより、 該当する移動機 100に着 信があった場合に、 網は、 移動機 100が位置登録エリア LA2に在圏している ことを認識して、 該当する位置登録エリア L A 2に対して呼び出し (Pa g i η g) 手順を行うことになる。 同様に、 移動機 100が新たな位置登録エリア L A 3に移動したときには、 位置情報が位置登録ェリア L A 3に更新される。  As described above, when the mobile station 100 moves to the location registration area LA1 and moves to the location registration area LA2, the mobile station 100 performs the location registration procedure for the network, and performs mobile station 100 and mobile communication. The location information of the application register VLR is updated to the location registration area LA2.

し力 しながら、 従来技術によれば、 位置登録エリアを跨って移動する毎に、 着 信頻度の大小にかかわらず、 網に対して着信の呼び出し (P a g i n g ) エリア を確定するために一様に位置登録情報の更新にかかる処理が行われていた。 この ため、 移動機が位置登録エリアの境界付近を頻繁に移動した場合には、 いずれか 一方の位置登録ェリアに入るたびに、 上述した位置登録情報の更新処理が行われ ることになる。 特に、 着信頻度が低い移動機が位置登録情報の更新を頻繁に行つ たときには、 網の無線リソースを無駄に使用していることになり、 網の無線リソ ースを効率的に使用することができなかった。  However, according to the prior art, each time the user moves across the location registration area, regardless of the magnitude of the frequency of incoming calls, a uniform paging area is established for the network. A process related to updating the location registration information was performed. Therefore, if the mobile device frequently moves near the boundary of the location registration area, the above-described location registration information updating process is performed each time one of the location registration areas is entered. In particular, when a mobile station with a low frequency of incoming calls frequently updates location registration information, this means that network radio resources are being wasted, and network radio resources are used efficiently. Could not.

次に、 この発明の主要な構成部である位置登録ェリァの拡張にかかる構成につ いて説明する。 この発明においては、 移動機 100の位置登録回数を減らすため に、 移動頻度が高く、 着信頻度が少ない移動機 100については、 最 立置登録 エリア情報として複数の位置登録エリアを結合させて記憶する。 例えば、 旧位置 登録ェリア L A 1であり、 移動機 100が新たな位置登録ェリア L A 2に移動し たときの結合は、 LA1+LA2となり、 これを位置登録エリアの拡張と称す。 これにより、 移動機 100が短時間に特定の位置登録ェリァの間を頻繁に跨いで 移動したときに、 その都度、 移動機 100が位置登録の処理を実行することがな く、 網に対する位置登録の回数を減少させて網の無線リソースの効率的な使用を 可能とするものである。 このため、 移動機 100および移動交 ,104には、 後述する位置登録ェリァ拡張、 および位置登録拡張ェリァ解除を実行する手段を 備える。 Next, the configuration relating to the extension of the location registration error, which is a main component of the present invention, will be described. Will be described. In the present invention, in order to reduce the number of location registrations of the mobile device 100, a plurality of location registration areas are combined and stored as the top-end registration area information for the mobile device 100 having a high moving frequency and a low incoming call frequency. . For example, when the mobile station 100 moves to the new location registration area LA2 as the old location registration area LA1, the combination becomes LA1 + LA2, which is referred to as an extension of the location registration area. As a result, when the mobile device 100 frequently moves across a specific location registration error in a short time, the mobile device 100 does not execute the location registration process each time, and the location registration with respect to the network is performed. This enables the efficient use of the radio resources of the network by reducing the number of times. For this reason, the mobile device 100 and the mobile communication unit 104 are provided with means for executing a location registration error extension and a location registration extension error cancellation described later.
移動交換機 104の加入者情報記憶部 304は、 移動機 100の移動状態を記 録する移動記録手段と、 着信記録手段の機能を有する。 この移動記録手段は、 移 動機 100がある位置登録ェリァから別の位置登録ェリァへ移動した情報、 およ ぴその移動時の時刻を加入者情報記憶部 304に記録する。 移動機 100が位置 登録の処理を実行する際に、 移動記録手段は、 移動機 100からの位置情報登録 要求が基地局制御装置 111を経由する際に付加される情報 (メッセージを受信 したセルと位置登録エリアの対応関係に関する情報) に基づき、 移動機 100の 現在の位置登録エリア (例えば、 LA2) を認識することができる。 また、 位置 情報登録要求には、 旧位置登録エリア情報 (例えば、 LA1) が含まれているた め、 移動記録手段は、 移動機 100がある位置登録エリアから別の位置登録エリ ァへ移動したこと (例えば、 LA1—LA2への移動) を認識でき、 位置登録ェ リアへ移動した情報と、 移動した時刻を記録する。  The subscriber information storage unit 304 of the mobile switching center 104 has a function of a mobile recording unit for recording the moving state of the mobile unit 100 and a function of an incoming call recording unit. This movement recording means records, in the subscriber information storage unit 304, information on the movement of the mobile device 100 from one location registration area to another location registration area, and the time of the movement. When the mobile device 100 executes the location registration process, the mobile recording means stores the information added when the location information registration request from the mobile device 100 passes through the base station controller 111 (the cell that received the message and the The current location registration area (for example, LA2) of the mobile device 100 can be recognized based on the location registration area correspondence information). In addition, since the location information registration request includes the old location registration area information (for example, LA1), the movement recording unit moves the mobile device 100 from one location registration area to another location registration area. (Eg, movement from LA1 to LA2), and records information on the time when the user moved to the location registration area and the time when the user moved.
着信記録手段は、 移動機 100に着信があったこと、 およびその時刻を加入者 情報記憶部 304 (ロケーションレジスタ 105) に記録する。 移動交誦 10 4の加入者情報記憶部 304には、 移動機 100の着信制御 (呼制御) を行う際 に移動機 100に着信があったことを認識し、 着信の発生と、 着信時刻を記録す る。 The incoming call recording means records the fact that there is an incoming call to the mobile device 100 and the time of the incoming call in the subscriber information storage unit 304 (location register 105). The subscriber information storage unit 304 of the mobile karaoke 104 recognizes that there is an incoming call to the mobile device 100 when performing the incoming call control (call control) of the mobile device 100, and records the occurrence of the incoming call and the time of the incoming call. Record You.
移動交換機 1 0 4の信号解析部 3 0 3は、 位置登録ェリァ拡張手段の機能を有 してレヽる。 この位置登録エリア拡張手段は、 移動機 1 0 0に対する着信回数、 お よぴ移動機 1 0 0の移動回数に応じて、 移動機 1 0 0の位置登録ェリァを拡張さ せる。 加入者情報記憶部 3 0 4は、 上記の着信記録手段により記録した情報を基 に、 一定時間内の移動機 1 0 0への着信回数をカウントし、 その着信回数が予め 定められた閾値を超えていないことを確認する。 その後、 上記の移動記録手段に より記録した情報を基に、 一定時間内の移動機 1 0 0の移動回数をカウントし、 その移動回数が予め定められた閾値を超えた場合、 その移動機 1 0 0の最終位置 登録エリアとして、 移動に応じて複数の位置登録エリアを結合させることにより 、 位置登録エリアを拡張させる。 拡張された複数の位置登録エリアは、 移動機 1 0 0の位置登録完了ェリアとして移動機 1 0 0に通知される。  The signal analyzing section 303 of the mobile switching center 104 has a function of location registration error extension means and is provided. This location registration area extension means extends the location registration error of the mobile device 100 according to the number of incoming calls to the mobile device 100 and the number of times the mobile device 100 has moved. The subscriber information storage unit 304 counts the number of incoming calls to the mobile station 100 within a fixed time based on the information recorded by the above-mentioned incoming call recording means, and the number of incoming calls reaches a predetermined threshold. Make sure it is not exceeded. Thereafter, based on the information recorded by the above-mentioned movement recording means, the number of movements of the mobile device 100 within a certain time is counted, and when the number of movements exceeds a predetermined threshold, the mobile device 1 As the final position registration area of 0, the position registration area is extended by combining a plurality of position registration areas according to movement. The extended plurality of location registration areas are notified to the mobile device 100 as a location registration completion area of the mobile device 100.

第 7図は、 位置登録ェリァ拡大時における移動交 « 1 0 4の動作を説明する フローチャートである。 移動機 1 0 0から位置登録要求信号 4 0 1 (第 5図参照 ) が送信されると、 この位置登録要求信号 4 0 1は、 基地局 1 0 1および基地局 制御装置 1 1 1経由で、 移動交換機 1 0 4の受信部 3 0 1により受信する。 これにより、 移動交 1 0 4の信号解析部 3 0 3は、 この位置登録要求信号 4 0 1に含まれる旧位置登録ェリア 4 0 1 aに含まれる位置登録ェリアと、 拡張 旧位置登録ェリア 4 0 1 bに含まれる位置登録ェリァを合わせた見かけ上の位置 登録エリア (位置登録エリア Aとする) と、 同時に送られてくる在圏位置登録ェ リア 4 0 1 cの情報に含まれる位置登録エリア (位置登録エリア Bとする) との 間を移動機 1 0 0が移動したことを加入者情報記憶部 3 0 4に、 その時刻と共に 記録する (ステップ S 7 0 1 ) 。  FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the mobile exchange 104 when the location registration error is enlarged. When the location registration request signal 401 (see FIG. 5) is transmitted from the mobile station 100, the location registration request signal 401 is transmitted via the base station 101 and the base station controller 111. It is received by the receiving section 301 of the mobile switching center 104. As a result, the signal analysis unit 303 of the mobile communication 104 selects the location registration area included in the location registration request signal 401 included in the location registration request signal 401 and the extended location registration area 411 included in the extended location registration area 4a. 0 1b The location registration area (location registration area A) combined with the location registration area included in b, and the location registration area included in the information of the location registration area 4 0 1c sent at the same time The fact that the mobile device 100 has moved to and from the area (referred to as the location registration area B) is recorded in the subscriber information storage unit 304 together with the time (step S701).
具体的には、 第 5図に示すように、 加入者情報記憶部 3 0 4は、 過去 L時間の 位置登録エリア移行記録 5 0 1として、 該当する移行位置登録エリアと移動時間 の情報を記録する。 過去 L時間の累計移動回数 5 0 2には、 該当する移行位置登 録エリアと累計移動回数を記録する。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the subscriber information storage section 304 records information of the corresponding transition location registration area and travel time as the location registration area transition record 501 of the past L hours. I do. The total number of movements in the past L hours The recording area and the total number of movements are recorded.
また、 信号解析部 3 0 3は、 位置登録要求信号 4 0 1に含まれる在圏位置登録 エリア 4 0 1 cの情報を加入者情報記憶部 3 0 4の最終位置登録ェリァ情報 5 0 4に設定する。  Further, the signal analysis unit 303 stores the information of the located location registration area 410 c included in the location registration request signal 401 into the final location registration information 504 of the subscriber information storage unit 304. Set.
次に、 過去 P時間の間、 この移動機 1 0 0への着信回数 Qが、 予め設定した閾 値 Rを超えた (Q > R) かどうかを判断する (ステップ S 7 0 2 ) 。 この判断は 、 加入者情報記憶部 3 0 4の過去 P時間の着信記録 5 0 3を参照して行われる。 ここで、 移動機 1 0 0への着信回数 Qが、 予め設定した閾値 R以下 (Q≤R) の ときには (ステップ S 7 0 2 : N o ) 、 次に、 過去 L時間の間、 この移動機 1 0 0が過去に移動した位置登録ェリア Aと、 現在位置している位置登録ェリア Bと の間を跨って移動した回数 Mが、 予め設定した閾値 Nを超えた (M> N) かどう かを判断する (ステップ S 7 0 3 ) 。  Next, it is determined whether or not the number of incoming calls Q to the mobile device 100 has exceeded a predetermined threshold value R (Q> R) during the past P time (step S702). This determination is made with reference to the incoming call record 503 of the past P time in the subscriber information storage unit 304. Here, when the number Q of incoming calls to the mobile device 100 is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value R (Q≤R) (step S702: No), then, during the past L time, Whether the number M of times that the aircraft 100 has moved between the location registration area A that has moved in the past and the location registration area B that is currently located has exceeded the preset threshold N (M> N). Judgment is made (step S703).
この判断は、 加入者情報記憶部 3 0 4の過去 L時間の累積移動回数 5 0 2を参 照して行われる。 ここで、 移動機 1 0 0の移動回数 Mが、 予め設定した閾値 Nを 超えた (M>N) ときには (ステップ S 7 0 3 : Y e s ) 、 位置登録エリア A + Bの結合を決定し、 この結合結果を加入者情報記憶部 3 0 4に記録すると共に、 移動機 1 0 0に対して通知する (ステップ S 7 0 4 ) 。 具体的には、 最終位置登 録ェリァ情報 5 0 4に位置登録ェリア Bを記録し、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報拡張 部 5 0 5に新たに結合すべき位置登録ェリァ Aを記録する。  This determination is made with reference to the cumulative number of movements 502 in the past L hours in the subscriber information storage unit 304. Here, when the number of movements M of the mobile device 100 exceeds a predetermined threshold N (M> N) (step S703: Yes), the combination of the position registration areas A + B is determined. The connection result is recorded in the subscriber information storage unit 304 and is notified to the mobile station 100 (step S704). Specifically, the location registration area B is recorded in the final location registration area information 504, and the location registration area A to be newly combined is recorded in the final location registration information extension section 505.
そして、 位置登録要求応答部 3 0 5に対して、 移動機 1 0 0への位置登録要求 応答信号 4 0 2 (第 4図参照) の送信を指示する。 位置登録要求応答部 3 0 5は 、 加入者情報記憶部 3 0 4内の最終位置登録ェリァ情報 5 0 4、 および最終位置 登録エリア情報拡張部 5 0 5に記録されている情報をそれぞれ取り出す。 そして 、 位置登録要求応答信号 4 0 2の登録完了位置登録ェリア 4 0 2 aの情報として 、 最終位置登録エリア情報 5 0 4に記録された位置登録エリア Bを割り当て、 拡 張登録完了位置登録ェリア 4 0 2 bの情報として、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報拡張 部 5 0 5に記録された位置登録ェリァ Aを割り当てる。 この後、 位置登録要求応答信号 402を、 送信部 302から基地局制御装置 ( RNC) 111および基地局 (BS) 101を経由して移動機 100に対して送 信し、 位置登録エリアの拡大の処理を終了する。 このようにして網は、 移動機 1 00の移動記録およぴ着信記録に基づいて見かけ上の位置登録ェリァを拡大して いく。 Then, it instructs the position registration request response section 305 to transmit a position registration request response signal 402 (see FIG. 4) to the mobile device 100. The location registration request responding section 305 extracts the last location registration area information 504 in the subscriber information storage section 304 and the information recorded in the last location registration area information extension section 505, respectively. Then, the location registration area B recorded in the final location registration area information 504 is allocated as information of the registration completion location registration area 4002a of the location registration request response signal 402, and the extended registration completion location registration area is allocated. The location registration area A recorded in the final location registration area information extension section 505 is assigned as the information of 402b. Thereafter, a location registration request response signal 402 is transmitted from transmitting section 302 to mobile station 100 via base station controller (RNC) 111 and base station (BS) 101 to expand location registration area. The process ends. In this way, the network expands the apparent location registration error based on the movement record and the incoming call record of the mobile device 100.
一方、 ステップ S 702において、 移動機 100への着信回数 Qが、 予め設定 した閾値 Rを超えている (Q>R) とき (ステップ S 702 : Ye s) 、 および 、 ステップ S 703において、 移動機 100の移動回数 Mが、 予め設定した閾値 N以下 (M≤N) のときには (ステップ S 703 : No) 、 この移動機 100の 最終位置登録エリア情報を Bとし、 移動機 100に対して通知し (ステップ S 7 05) 、 位置登録エリアの拡大の処理を終了する。  On the other hand, when the number Q of incoming calls to the mobile device 100 exceeds the preset threshold R (Q> R) in step S702 (step S702: Yes), and in step S703, the mobile device When the number of movements M of 100 is equal to or smaller than a preset threshold N (M≤N) (step S703: No), the final position registration area information of the mobile device 100 is set to B and the mobile device 100 is notified. (Step S705), the processing of enlarging the position registration area ends.
(移動交換機における位置登録ェリァ拡大解除時の動作)  (Operations when canceling location registration error expansion in mobile exchange)
第 8図は、 位置登録ェリァ拡大解除時における移動交換機の動作を説明するフ ローチャートである。 外部の中綱網から移動機 100に対する着信があると、 移 動交 «104の受信部 301は、 中継網からの着信要求を受信する。 そして、 信号解析部 303は、 その着信要求からどの加入者 (移動機 100) に着信があ つたかを認識し、 この後、 該当する加入者用の加入者情報記憶部 304に含まれ る最終位置登録エリア情報拡張部 505から拡大位置登録エリア適用中かどうか 確認する (ステップ S 801) 。  FIG. 8 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the mobile exchange at the time of canceling the location registration error extension. When there is an incoming call to the mobile device 100 from the external network, the receiving unit 301 of the mobile communication 104 receives an incoming call request from the relay network. Then, the signal analysis unit 303 recognizes which subscriber (mobile device 100) has received the incoming call from the incoming call request, and after that, the final information included in the subscriber information storage unit 304 for the corresponding subscriber. It is confirmed from the position registration area information extension unit 505 whether or not the enlarged position registration area is being applied (step S801).
最終位置登録ェリァ情報拡張部 505に情報が設定されているときには、 拡大 位置登録エリア適用中と判断し (ステップ S 801 : Ye s) 、 該当する加入者 の過去 P時間の着信記録 503を参照して拡大位置登録ェリァを解除するかどう かを決定する。 この過去 P時間の着信回数 Qが予め設定した閾値 Rを超えたか ( Q>R) どう力、判断する (ステップ S 802) 。  When the information is set in the final location registration information extension unit 505, it is determined that the enlarged location registration area is being applied (step S801: Yes), and the incoming call record 503 of the past P time of the corresponding subscriber is referred to. To determine whether to cancel the enlarged location registration error. It is determined whether the number of incoming calls Q in the past P time exceeds a preset threshold R (Q> R) (Step S802).
ここで、 過去 P時間の着信回数 Qが閾値 Rを超えている (Q>R) ときには ( ステップ S 802 : Ye s) 、 拡大位置登録エリアを解除するために、 拡大され た位置登録エリアを全て元に戻すことを決定する。 そして、 ページング要求部 3 0 6より拡大位置登録角除通知 4 0 3 b (第 4図参照) の情報を含んだページン グ要求信号 4 0 3を送信部 3 0 2から基地局 (B S ) を経由して該当する移動機 1 0 0に通知する (ステップ S 8 0 3 ) 。 Here, when the number of incoming calls Q in the past P time exceeds the threshold R (Q> R) (step S802: Yes), all the expanded location registration areas are released in order to cancel the enlarged location registration area. Decide to undo. And paging request part 3 The paging request signal 400 containing the information of the enlarged position registration angle division notification 403b (see Fig. 4) from 06 is transmitted from the transmission section 302 via the base station (BS) to the corresponding movement. The device 100 is notified (step S803).
この後、 移動機 1 0 0から拡大位置登繊爭除応答 4 0 4 bの情報を含むページ ング応答信号 4 0 4の受信の有無を判断する (ステップ S 8 0 4 ) 。 受信部 3 0 1が移動機 1 0 0からページング応答信号 4 0 4を受信し、 信号解析部 3 0 3が 、 このページング応答信号 4 0 4に、 拡大位置登録解除応答 4 0 4 bの情報を含 んでいることを検出した場合には (ステップ S 8 0 4 : Y e s ) 、 拡大された位 置登録エリアを全て戻す (ステップ S 8 0 5 ) 。 具体的には、 加入者情報記憶部 3 0 4の最終位置登録ェリァ情報拡張部 5 0 5に記録されている情報を全て消去 した後、 通常の着信処理を行う (ステップ S 8 0 6 ) 。 このようにして網は、 移 動機 1 0 0の着信頻度に基づき、 着信頻度が多い移動機 1 0 0については、 拡大 させていた位置登録ェリァを元に戻し、 位置登録ェリァの拡大解除の処理を終了 する。  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the paging response signal 404 including the information of the extension position registration dispute response 404 b from the mobile device 100 has been received (step S 804). The receiving section 301 receives the paging response signal 404 from the mobile station 100, and the signal analyzing section 303 receives the information of the enlarged position registration release response 404b in the paging response signal 404. If it is detected that the position registration area is included (step S804: Yes), all the enlarged position registration areas are returned (step S805). Specifically, after deleting all the information recorded in the final position registration error information extension section 505 of the subscriber information storage section 304, normal incoming call processing is performed (step S806). In this way, the network restores the enlarged location registration area for the mobile apparatus 100 that has a high frequency of incoming calls based on the incoming frequency of the mobile apparatus 100, and cancels the expansion of the location registration area. Exit.
ところで、 上記のステップ S 8 0 1において、 最終位置登録エリア情報拡張部 5 0 5に情報が設定されていなければ、 拡大位置登録エリア非適用中と判断し ( ステップ S 8 0 1 : N o ) 、 通常の着信処理を行う (ステップ S 8 0 6 ) 。 同様 に、 ステップ S 8 0 2において、 過去 P時間の着信回数 Qが閾値 R以下である ( Q≤R) とき (ステップ S 8 0 2 : N o ) 、 および、 ステップ S 8 0 4において 、 移動機 1 0 0からのページング応答信号 4 0 4を受信しなかったとき (ステツ プ S 8 0 4 : N o ) 、 のいずれにおいても、 次に、 通常の着信処理を行い (ステ ップ S 8 0 6 ) 、 位置登録エリアの拡大解除の処理を終了する。  By the way, in the above step S801, if no information is set in the final position registration area information extension section 505, it is determined that the enlarged position registration area is not applied (step S801: No). Then, normal incoming call processing is performed (step S806). Similarly, in step S802, when the number of incoming calls Q in the past P time is equal to or smaller than the threshold R (Q≤R) (step S802: No), and in step S804, the movement is performed. When the paging response signal 404 from the MFP 100 has not been received (step S804: No), the normal incoming call processing is performed next (step S8). 0 6), and ends the process of canceling the enlargement of the position registration area.
次に、 以上説明した位置登録ェリァの拡張および解除にかかる全体の処理手順 を説明する。 以下の説明では、 加入者情報記憶部 3 0 4が移動機 1 0 0の位置情 報を登録しているロケーションレジスタ 1 0 5に相当し、 移動交換機 1 0 4が口 ケーシヨンレジスタ 1 0 5としての加入者情報記憶部 3 0 4にアクセスして位置 登録ェリ了の拡張および拡張解除を行うものとする。 第 9図は、 位置登録エリアの拡張手順を示すシーケンス図である。 図には、 移 動機 (UE) 100と、 各位置登録エリア (LA1〜: LA3) をカバーする基地 局 (BS 1〜3) 101 a〜: L O l cと、 基地局制御装置 (RNC1〜3) 11 1 a〜l 11 cと、 移動交握 (MSC) 104およびロケーションレジスタ ( VLR) 105とが示され、 各装置間での信号のやりとりが記載されている。 以 下、 移動機 100が移動したときの位置登録ェリァの拡大手順を具体的に説明す る。 Next, the overall processing procedure related to the extension and cancellation of the location registration error described above will be described. In the following description, the subscriber information storage unit 304 corresponds to the location register 105 in which the location information of the mobile device 100 is registered, and the mobile exchange 104 is the location register 1005. It is assumed that the subscriber information storage section 304 is accessed to extend and cancel the extension of the location registration error. FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing a procedure for expanding the location registration area. In the figure, a mobile (UE) 100, base stations (BS 1-3) 101 a to cover each location registration area (LA1 to LA3): LO lc, and a base station controller (RNC1 to 3) 11 1 a to 11 c, a mobile handshake (MSC) 104 and a location register (VLR) 105 are shown, and the exchange of signals between the devices is described. Hereinafter, a procedure for expanding the location registration error when the mobile device 100 moves will be specifically described.
はじめに、 移動機 100は、 位置登録エリア L A 1で位置登録されていたとす る (ステップ S 901) 。 この後、 移動機 100が新たな位置登録エリア L A 2 内へ移動したとする (ステップ S 902) 。 このとき、 移動機 100は、 位置登 録エリア L A 2の基地局制御装置 (RNC2) 11 1 bから基地局 (BS 2) 1 01 bを介して報知情報 (LA2) を受信ずる。  First, it is assumed that the mobile device 100 has been registered in the location registration area LA1 (step S901). Thereafter, it is assumed that the mobile device 100 has moved into the new location registration area LA2 (step S902). At this time, the mobile device 100 receives the broadcast information (LA2) from the base station control device (RNC2) 111b in the location registration area LA2 via the base station (BS2) 101b.
この報知情報に基づいて、 移動機 100は、 新たな位置登録エリア (LA2) に入ったことを認識する (ステップ S 903) 。 そして、 第 5図に示した位置登 録要求信号 401を送信する。 この位置登録要求信号 401の旧位置登録ェリァ 401 aの情報は、 旧登録位置ェリア L A 1である。 この位置登録要求信号 40 1は、 位置登録ェリア L A 2の基地局 (B S 2 ) 101 bから基地局制御装置 ( RNC2) .111 bを介して移動交謹 (MSC) 104に送出される。  Based on this notification information, mobile device 100 recognizes that it has entered a new location registration area (LA2) (step S903). Then, a position registration request signal 401 shown in FIG. 5 is transmitted. The information of the old location registration area 401a of the location registration request signal 401 is the old registered location area LA1. The location registration request signal 401 is sent from the base station (BS2) 101b of the location registration area LA2 to the mobile communication center (MSC) 104 via the base station controller (RNC2) .111b.
移動交換機 (MSC) 104内の加入者情報記憶部 304 (ロケーションレジ スタ 105 ) は、 位置登録要求信号 401を受信すると、 第 5図に示す加入者情 報記憶部 304における、 この移動機 100の最終位置登録ェリァ情報 504を LA2に変更する。 また、 過去 L時間の位置登録エリア移行記録 501に位置登 録エリア L A l L A 2の移動を時刻と共に記録する (ステップ S 904) 。 次に、 この移動機 100に対する過去 P時間の着信記録 503を参照し、 単位 時間当たりの着信回数 Qが閾値 Rを超えていないこと (第 7図のステップ S 70 2 : Noに該当) 、 および過去 L時間の累積移動回数 502を参照して単位時間 当たりの位置登録ェリア LA1 LA2間の移動回数 Mが閾値 Nを超えたこと ( 第 7図のステップ S 703 : Ye sに該当) 、 がいずれも満たされる力判断する 。 いずれも満たされている場合には、 位置登録エリア LA1と LA2を同一の位 置登録エリア (LA1+LA2) とすることを決定する (ステップ S 905) 。 このとき、 加入者情報記憶部 304の最終位置登録ェリァ情報 504には、 L A 2が記録され、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報拡張部 505には、 L A 1が記録され る。 そして、 移動交衡幾 104は、 移動機 100に対して、 第 6図に示した位置 登録要求応答信号 402を送信する。 この位置登録要求応答信号 402の登録完 了位置登録ェリア 402 aの情報としては、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報 504に記 録された L A 2が設定され、 拡張登録完了位置登録ェリア 402 bの情報として は、 最終位置登録エリア情報拡張部 505に記録された LA 1が設定される。 こ の位置登録要求応答信号 402は、 位置登録ェリア L A 2の基地局制御装置 (R NC2) 111 bから基地局 (BS 2) 101 bを介して移動機 100に送信さ れる。 Upon receiving the position registration request signal 401, the subscriber information storage unit 304 (location register 105) in the mobile switching center (MSC) 104 receives the location information of the mobile unit 100 in the subscriber information storage unit 304 shown in FIG. Change final location registration information 504 to LA2. In addition, the movement of the position registration area LA 1 LA 2 is recorded together with the time in the position registration area transition record 501 for the past L time (step S904). Next, referring to the incoming call record 503 of the past P time for this mobile device 100, the number of incoming calls Q per unit time does not exceed the threshold R (corresponding to step S702: No in FIG. 7), and The number of movements M between the location registration areas LA1 and LA2 per unit time has exceeded the threshold N with reference to the cumulative number of movements 502 in the past L hours ( Step S703 in FIG. 7: corresponds to Yes), and the force that satisfies both is determined. If both are satisfied, it is determined that the location registration areas LA1 and LA2 are the same location registration area (LA1 + LA2) (step S905). At this time, LA 2 is recorded in the final location registration information 504 of the subscriber information storage unit 304, and LA 1 is recorded in the final location registration information extension unit 505. Then, the mobile exchange 104 transmits the position registration request response signal 402 shown in FIG. LA 2 recorded in the final location registration area information 504 is set as the information of the registration completion location registration area 402a of the location registration request response signal 402, and the information of the extended registration completion location registration area 402b is The LA 1 recorded in the final location registration area information extension unit 505 is set. The location registration request response signal 402 is transmitted from the base station controller (RNC2) 111b of the location registration area LA2 to the mobile device 100 via the base station (BS2) 101b.
移動機 100は、 この位置登録要求応答信号 402を受信すると、 位置登録ェ リァ記憶部 205の最終位置登録ェリァ情報部 601に登録完了位置登録ェリァ 402 aの情報である LA 2を書き込む。 また、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報拡張部 602に拡張登録完了位置登録ェリア 402 bの情報である L A 1を書き込む ( ステップ S 906) 。  Upon receiving the position registration request response signal 402, the mobile device 100 writes LA2, which is information on the registration completed position registration error 402a, into the final position registration error information unit 601 of the position registration error storage unit 205. In addition, LA1 which is the information of the extended registration completed location registration area 402b is written in the final location registration area information extension section 602 (step S906).
この後、 移動機 100が再び位置登録エリア L A 1に移動したとする (ステツ プ S 907) 。 このとき、 移動機 100は、 位置登録エリア L A 1の基地局制御 装置 (RNC1) 11 l aから基地局 (BS 1) 101 aを介して報知情報 (L A1) を受信する。 この報知情報に基づいて、 移動機 100は、 位置登録エリア (LA1) に入ったことを認識する。 このとき、 移動機 100の位置登録エリア 記憶部 205には、 既に、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報部 601に L A 2が書き込ま れており、 最終位置登録エリア情報拡張部 602に LA1が書き込まれている。 すなわち、 移動機 100は、 このような拡張された位置登録エリア LA1+LA 2内での移動時には、 同一の位置登録ェリァ内での移動と判断して位置登録手順 を起動させない (ステップ S 908) 。 Thereafter, it is assumed that mobile device 100 has moved to location registration area LA1 again (step S907). At this time, the mobile device 100 receives the broadcast information (LA1) from the base station control device (RNC1) 11la in the location registration area LA1 via the base station (BS1) 101a. Based on this notification information, mobile device 100 recognizes that it has entered the location registration area (LA1). At this time, LA 2 has already been written in final location registration area information section 601 and LA 1 has been written in final location registration area information extension section 602 in location registration area storage section 205 of mobile device 100. That is, when moving within the extended location registration area LA1 + LA2, the mobile device 100 determines that the movement is within the same location registration area and determines the location registration procedure. Is not activated (step S908).
次に、 第 10図は、 位置登録エリアをさらに拡張させる手順を示すシーケンス 図である。 以下、 第 9図に示した拡張状態の位置登録エリアをさらに拡張させる 手順を説明する。  Next, FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram showing a procedure for further expanding the location registration area. Hereinafter, a procedure for further expanding the extended position registration area shown in FIG. 9 will be described.
移動機 100は、 位置登録ェリア LA1+LA2の拡張状態で位置登録されて おり、 この後、 この移動機 100が新たな位置登録ェリア L A 3内へ移動したと する (ステップ S 1001) 。 このとき、 移動機 100は、 位置登録エリア LA 3の基地局制御装置 (RNC 3) 111 cから基地局 (B S 3) 101 cを介し て報知情報 (LA3) を受信する。  It is assumed that the mobile device 100 has been registered in the extended state of the location registration area LA1 + LA2, and thereafter, the mobile device 100 has moved into a new location registration area LA3 (step S1001). At this time, the mobile device 100 receives the broadcast information (LA3) from the base station control device (RNC3) 111c in the location registration area LA3 via the base station (BS3) 101c.
この報知情報に基づレ、て、 移動機 100は、 新たな位置登録ェリア ( L A 3 ) に入ったことを認識する (ステップ S 1002) 。 そして、 第 5図に示した位置 登録要求信号 401を送信する。 この位置登録要求信号 401の旧位置登録エリ ァ 401 aの情報は、 旧位置登録ェリア L A 2であり、 拡張旧位置登録ェリア 4 01 bの情報は、 L A 1である。 この位置登録要求信号 401は、 位置登録エリ ァ LA3の基地局 (BS 3) 101 cから基地局制御装置 (RNC 3 ) 111 c を介して移動交灘 (MSC) 104に送出される。  Based on this notification information, the mobile station 100 recognizes that it has entered a new location registration area (LA3) (step S1002). Then, it transmits the position registration request signal 401 shown in FIG. The information of the old location registration area 401a of the location registration request signal 401 is the old location registration area LA2, and the information of the extended old location registration area 401b is LA1. The location registration request signal 401 is sent from the base station (BS3) 101c of the location registration area LA3 to the mobile communication network (MSC) 104 via the base station controller (RNC3) 111c.
移動交換機 (MSC) 104内の加入者情報記憶部 304は、 位置登録要求信 号 401を受信すると、 第 5図に示すように、 この移動機 100の最終位置登録 エリア情報 504を LA3に変更する。 また、 過去 L時間の位置登録エリア移行 記録 501には、 位置登録エリア (LA1+LA2) A 3の移動を時刻と共 に記録する (ステップ S 1003) 。  Upon receiving the location registration request signal 401, the subscriber information storage unit 304 in the mobile switching center (MSC) 104 changes the final location registration area information 504 of the mobile station 100 to LA3 as shown in FIG. . Further, the movement of the position registration area (LA1 + LA2) A3 is recorded together with the time in the position registration area shift record 501 for the past L hours (step S1003).
次に、 この移動機 100に対する過去 P時間の着信記録 503を参照し、 単位 時間当たりの着信回数 Qが閾値 Rを超えていないこと (第 7図のステップ S 70 2 : Noに該当) 、 および過去 L時間の累積移動回数 502を参照して単位時間 当たりの位置登録エリア (LA1+LA2) A 3間の移動回数 Mが閾値 Nを 超えたこと (第 7図のステップ S 703 : Ye sに該当) 、 がいずれも満たされ るか判断する。 いずれも満たされている場合には、 位置登録エリア LA1+LA 2と、 LA3を同一の位置登録エリア (LAI +LA2 + LA3) とすることを 決定する (ステップ S 1004) 。 Next, referring to the incoming call record 503 of the past P time for the mobile device 100, the number of incoming calls Q per unit time does not exceed the threshold R (corresponding to step S702: No in FIG. 7), and Referring to the cumulative number of movements 502 in the past L hours 502, the number of movements M between location registration areas (LA1 + LA2) A3 per unit time exceeds the threshold value N (step S703 in FIG. 7: Yes Applicable) Judge whether both are satisfied. If both are satisfied, the location registration area LA1 + LA 2 and LA3 are determined to be the same location registration area (LAI + LA2 + LA3) (step S1004).
このとき、 加入者情報記憶部 304の最 立置登録ェリァ情報 504には、 L A 3が記録され、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報拡張部 505には、 LA1と、 LA2 が記録される。 そして、 移動交 ¾¾104は、 移動機 100に対して、 第 6図に 示した位置登録要求応答信号 402を送信する。 この位置登録要求信号 401の 登録完了位置登録ェリア 402 aの情報としては、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報 50 4に記録された L A 3が設定され、 拡張登録完了位置登録ェリア 402 bの情報 としては、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報拡張部 505に記録された LA1+LA2が 設定される。 この位置登録要求応答信号 402は、 位置登録ェリア L A 3の基地 局制御装置 (RNC3) 111 cから基地局 (BS 3) 101 cを介して移動機 100に送信される。  At this time, LA 3 is recorded in the upright registration error information 504 of the subscriber information storage unit 304, and LA1 and LA2 are recorded in the final location registration error information extension unit 505. Then, the mobile communication 104 transmits the position registration request response signal 402 shown in FIG. LA 3 recorded in the final location registration area information 504 is set as the information of the registration completed location registration area 402a of the location registration request signal 401, and the information of the extended registration completed location registration area 402b is set as the last information. LA1 + LA2 recorded in the location registration error information extension unit 505 is set. The location registration request response signal 402 is transmitted from the base station control device (RNC3) 111c of the location registration area LA3 to the mobile device 100 via the base station (BS3) 101c.
移動機 100は、 この位置登録要求応答信号 402を受信すると、 位置登録ェ リァ記憶部 205の最終位置登録ェリァ情報部 601に登録完了位置登録ェリァ 402 aの情報である L A 3を書き込む。 また、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報拡張部 602に拡張登録完了位置登録ェリア 402 bの情報である (LA1+LA2) を書き込む (ステップ S 1005) 。  Upon receiving the position registration request response signal 402, the mobile device 100 writes LA3, which is information of the registration completed position registration error 402a, into the final position registration error information section 601 of the position registration error storage section 205. Also, (LA1 + LA2), which is the information of the extended registration completed location registration area 402b, is written to the final location registration area information extension section 602 (step S1005).
上記手順によれば、 着信頻度の低い移動機 100が異なる位置登録エリアの間 を跨った移動の頻度が、 予め設定された閾値を超えるたびに、 これらの異なる位 釁登録エリアを結合していく。 そして、 移動機 100がこの新たに拡大された位 置登録エリア内で移動する場合、 この移動機 100は位置登録手順を実施しない 。 このように、 移動頻度が多く、 着信頻度が少ない移動機 100ほど、 位置登録 エリアが拡張していくことになる。 このような移動機 100は、 位置登録エリア の間を跨いで移動する毎に拡張された位置登録ェリア内に在圏位置登録している 割合が高くなるため、 位置登録手順を起動させる回数を少なくすることができ、 移動機 100と網との間における位置登録にかかる無駄な送受信を省き、 無線リ ソースの効率的な使用が図れるようになる。 次に、 以上説明した位置登録ェリァの拡大解除にかかる全体の処理手順を説明 する。 第 11図は、 位置登録エリアの拡張解除手順を示すシーケンス図である。 以下、 第 10図に示した拡張状態の位置登録エリアを拡張解除する手順を説明す る。 According to the above procedure, each time the frequency of the movement of the mobile device 100 having a low incoming call frequency between different location registration areas exceeds a preset threshold value, these different location registration areas are combined. . When the mobile device 100 moves within the newly expanded location registration area, the mobile device 100 does not perform the location registration procedure. As described above, the location registration area is expanded as the mobile device 100 moves more frequently and receives less calls. In such a mobile device 100, the number of times the location registration is performed in the extended location registration area increases each time the mobile device 100 moves across the location registration area. As a result, useless transmission and reception for location registration between the mobile device 100 and the network can be omitted, and efficient use of wireless resources can be achieved. Next, a description will be given of the overall processing procedure for canceling the enlargement of the location registration error described above. FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram showing a procedure for releasing the extension of the location registration area. The procedure for canceling the extension of the extended location registration area shown in FIG. 10 will be described below.
移動機 100は、 位置登録エリア LAI +LA2 + LA3を拡張した一つの位 置登録エリアとして使用している。 また、 移動機 100は、 位置登録エリア LA 2の配下に在圏しているとする (ステップ S 1101) 。 この移動機 100への 着信要求が発生した場合、 移動交換機 104は、 加入者情報記憶部 304の過去 P時間の着信記録 503に着信があったことをその時刻と共に記録する (ステツ プ S 1102) 。 また、 この過去 P時間の着信記録 503を参照し、 一定時間内 の移動機 100の着信回数 Qが予め設定した閾値 Rを超えた力,断する (第 8図 のステップ S 802に該当) 。 超えている場合には、 移動交換機 104は、 拡大 された位置登録ェリァを含む全ての位置登録ェリァを元に戻すことを決定する ( ステップ S 1103)。  The mobile device 100 uses the location registration area LAI + LA2 + LA3 as one extended location registration area. It is also assumed that mobile device 100 is located under location registration area LA2 (step S1101). When an incoming call request is issued to the mobile station 100, the mobile switching center 104 records the incoming call together with the time in the incoming call record 503 of the past P time in the subscriber information storage unit 304 (step S1102). . In addition, referring to the incoming call record 503 of the past P time, the mobile station 100 is cut off when the number of incoming calls Q of the mobile device 100 within a certain time exceeds a preset threshold R (corresponding to step S802 in FIG. 8). If so, the mobile switching center 104 decides to restore all the location registration errors including the enlarged location registration error (step S1103).
そして、 移動交 ¾104は、 拡大された位置登録エリア全て (LA1, LA 2, LA3) にページング手順を起動する。 移動交鍾 104は、 移動機 100 に送信するページング要求信号 403 (第 4図参照) に、 拡大位置登録解除通知 403 bの情報を含ませる。 この拡大位置登録解除通知 403 bによって、 全て の位置登録ェリァが元に戻されたことを移動機 100に通知する。  Then, the mobile communication # 104 starts a paging procedure for all of the enlarged location registration areas (LA1, LA2, LA3). The mobile communication 104 causes the paging request signal 403 (see FIG. 4) transmitted to the mobile device 100 to include the information of the enlarged position registration cancellation notification 403b. The mobile station 100 is notified by the enlarged position registration release notification 403b that all the position registration errors have been restored.
この情報を受信した移動機 100は、 位置登録ェリァ記憶部 205の最終位置 登録ェリァ情報部 601と、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報拡張部 602とに、 それぞ れ拡張解除を示す情報 (例えば、 NULL) を書き込む (ステップ S 1104) 。 そして、 移動機 100は、 ページング応答信号 404 (第 4図参照) に拡大位 置登録解除応答 404bの情報を含み、 移動交換機 104に対して拡大位置登録 解除通知 403 bの情報を正常に受信したことを通知する。  Upon receiving this information, the mobile station 100 stores information indicating extension cancellation in the final location registration information section 601 and the final location registration information extension section 602 of the location registration area storage section 205 (for example, NULL). Is written (step S1104). Then, the mobile station 100 includes the information of the extended location registration release response 404b in the paging response signal 404 (see FIG. 4), and has normally received the information of the extended location registration release notice 403b to the mobile exchange 104. Notify that.
この後、 移動交換機 104は、 拡大位置登録解除応答 404 bの情報を含むぺ 一ジング応答信号 404を受信することにより、 この移動機 100に関する全て の位置登録エリアに関する情報を消去し、 拡大された位置登録エリアを全て戻す (ステップ S 1105) 。 具体的には、 加入者情報記憶部 304の最終位置登録 ェリァ情報 504と、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報拡張部 505に格納された情報を 消去する。 この状態で移動機 100は、 着信を受けて通信中となる (ステップ S 1106) 。 Thereafter, the mobile switching center 104 receives the switching response signal 404 including the information of the extended location registration release response 404 b, The information on the location registration area is deleted, and all the enlarged location registration areas are returned (step S1105). More specifically, the final location registration information 504 in the subscriber information storage unit 304 and the information stored in the final location registration information extension unit 505 are deleted. In this state, mobile device 100 receives the incoming call and is in communication (step S1106).
そして、 移動機 100は、 通信の終了後、 移動機 100内部に記憶された最終 位置登録エリアが拡張解除の状態 (NULL) であることに基づき、 現在、 網に 位置登録されていないことを認識して新たに位置登録手順を起動する (ステップ S 1107) 。 このとき、 移動機 100は、 位置登録エリア L A 2に在圏してい るため、 該当する基地局制御装置 (RNC2) 111 bから基地局 (BS 2) 1 01 bを介して報知情報 (LA2) を受信する。 そして、 移動機 100は、 この 報知情報に基づいて、 現在の位置登録エリアが LA2であることを認識し、 位置 登録要求信号 401 (第 5図参照) を送信する。 このとき、 位置登録要求信号 4 01の旧位置登録ェリア 401 a、 および拡張旧位置登録ェリア 401 bの情報 は、 いずれも NULLである。  Then, after the communication is completed, the mobile device 100 recognizes that the location is not currently registered in the network based on the fact that the final location registration area stored inside the mobile device 100 is in the state of the extension release (NULL). To start a new location registration procedure (step S1107). At this time, since the mobile device 100 is located in the location registration area LA2, the broadcast information (LA2) is transmitted from the corresponding base station controller (RNC2) 111b via the base station (BS2) 101b. To receive. Then, based on the broadcast information, mobile device 100 recognizes that the current location registration area is LA2, and transmits a location registration request signal 401 (see FIG. 5). At this time, the information of the old location registration area 401a and the extended old location registration area 401b of the location registration request signal 401 are both NULL.
移動交 «104は、 位置登録要求信号 401を受信すると、 通常の位置登録 手順を実施し、 加入者情報記憶部 304における、 この移動機 100の最終位置 登録エリア情報 504を L A 2に変更する (ステップ S 1108) 。 そして、 移 動交 «104は、 移動機 100に対して、 第 6図に示した位置登録要求応答信 号 402を送信する。 この位置登録要求応答信号 402の登録完了位置登録ェリ ァ 402 aの情報としては、 最終位置登録ェリァ情報 504に記録された L A 2 が設定されている。 移動機 100は、 位置登録ェリァ記憶部 205の最終位置登 録ェリァ情報部 601に最終位置登録ェリアとして LA2を書き込む (ステップ S 1109) 。  Upon receiving the location registration request signal 401, the mobile exchange 104 performs a normal location registration procedure, and changes the final location registration area information 504 of the mobile device 100 in the subscriber information storage unit 304 to LA2 ( Step S1108). Then, the mobile communication 104 transmits the location registration request response signal 402 shown in FIG. As the information of the registration completion position registration error 402a of the position registration request response signal 402, LA2 recorded in the final position registration error information 504 is set. The mobile device 100 writes LA2 as the final location registration area in the final location registration area information section 601 of the location registration area storage section 205 (step S1109).
このように、 拡大された位置登録エリアは、 移動機 100への着信頻度が予め 設定された閾値を超えた際にクリア、 すなわち、 元に戻すことができる。 すなわ ち、 着信頻度が多い移動機 100については、 位置登録エリアの拡大を解除する 。 したがって、 この移動機 1 0 0への着信時に、 移動機 1 0 0に対して複数の位 置登録エリアの基地局 (B S ) から送信するページング信号の増大を回避できる 。 これにより、 網の通信負担を軽減させ、 無線リソースを効率的に利用できるよ うになる。 In this way, the enlarged location registration area can be cleared, that is, returned to the original position when the frequency of incoming calls to mobile device 100 exceeds a preset threshold. In other words, for the mobile device 100 that receives a lot of incoming calls, cancel the expansion of the location registration area. . Therefore, it is possible to avoid an increase in paging signals transmitted from the base stations (BS) in a plurality of location registration areas to the mobile device 100 when the mobile device 100 receives an incoming call. As a result, the communication load on the network can be reduced, and wireless resources can be used efficiently.
以上において本発明は、 上述した実施の形態に限らず、 種々変更可能である。 例えば、 移動機 1 0 0は、 位置登録エリアの拡大解除時に、 第 6図に示した最終 位置登録ェリァ情報部 6 0 1に格納された位置登録ェリァの情報をクリァせず、 最謝立置登録ェリァ情報拡張部 6 0 2に格納されている拡大した位置登録ェリァ の情報のみをクリアする構成としてもよい。 このクリア時に在圏していた位置登 録ェリァが最終位置登録ェリァ情報部 6 0 1に記録された位置登録ェリアと同じ であるか判断すれば、 同じ場合には位置登録要求信号を網に送信せずに済むため 、 無線リソースのより効率的な使用が図れるようになる。  In the above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified. For example, when canceling the enlargement of the location registration area, the mobile device 100 does not clear the location registration information stored in the final location registration information section 601 shown in FIG. The configuration may be such that only the information of the enlarged location registration area stored in the registration area information extension section 602 is cleared. If it is determined whether the location registration area that was present at the time of this clear is the same as the location registration area recorded in the final location registration area information section 611, if it is the same, a location registration request signal is transmitted to the network. This eliminates the need to use radio resources more efficiently.
また、 以上説明した位置登録エリアの拡張および拡張解除にかかる方法は、 予 め用意されたプログラムをパーソナル ·コンピュータやワークステーション等の コンピュータで実行することにより実現することができる。 このプログラムは、 各種記録媒体に記録され、 コンピュータによつて記録媒体から読み出されること によって実行される。 また、 このプログラムは、 インターネット等のネットヮー クを介して配布することが可能な伝送媒体であつてもよレ、。  The above-described methods for extending and canceling the location registration area can be realized by executing a prepared program on a computer such as a personal computer or a workstation. This program is recorded on various recording media, and is executed by being read from the recording media by a computer. Further, this program may be a transmission medium that can be distributed via a network such as the Internet.
以上説明したように、 本発明によれば、 移動機の移動状態に対応して最適な位 置登録エリアを設定することができるようになる。 そして、 着信頻度が低く、 位 置登録ェリァの間を頻繁に移動する移動機については、 複数の位置登録ェリアを 結合することにより、 移動機から網に対する位置登録の要求頻度を低減化させる 。 また、 養信頻度が高い移動機については、 着信時に複数の位置登録エリアの結 合を解除するため、 位置登録エリアの単純な拡大を防止でき、 着信時に網から移 動機に送信するページング信号の増大を回避できる。 したがって、 網の通信負荷 を軽減し、 無線リソースを効率的に使用できるようになるという効果を奏する。 産業上の利用可能 '14 As described above, according to the present invention, an optimal position registration area can be set according to the moving state of a mobile device. For a mobile station having a low frequency of incoming calls and frequently moving between location registration areas, a plurality of location registration areas are combined to reduce the frequency of location registration requests from the mobile station to the network. In addition, for mobile stations with a high frequency of nourishment, the union of multiple location registration areas is released when an incoming call is received, which can prevent simple expansion of the location registration area, and the paging signal transmitted from the network to the mobile phone when an incoming call is received. An increase can be avoided. Therefore, there is an effect that the communication load on the network is reduced and the radio resources can be used efficiently. Industrial availability '14
