Definitions
- the present invention relates to a TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) synchronization system with adjacent zone, which provides essential novelty characteristics and notable advantages over known and used means for the same purposes in the current state of The technique.
- TETRA Terrestrial Trunked Radio
- the invention proposes the development of a base station synchronization system in a TETRA network by receiving the base station of the adjacent area, so as to allow communication between a mobile terminal and a base station when said station mobile changes from one cell to another, thanks to the expressed synchronization of adjacent base stations.
- the invention provides for the use in each zone of an ISYNC module (ISOLATED SYNC, Isolated Synchronism), which incorporates a TETRA receiver tuned to the frequency of the adjacent zone, whereby synchronization of said adjacent zone is achieved.
- ISYNC module ISOLATED SYNC, Isolated Synchronism
- the scope of the invention is, of course, within the telecommunications sector, and more specifically, within the mobile communications sector.
- TETRA Terrestrial Trunked Radio
- the radio subsystem provides a series of logical channels, which represent the interface between the protocol and the radio, with TDMA radio access (Time Division Multiple Access), with four physical channels per carrier signal. These logical channels are divided into two main types:
- Control channels which give permissions to mobile units to make different types of calls and provide general information about the system.
- TBS Tetra Base Station
- TETRA base stations Tetra Base Station
- each manufacturer can enter the rest of the TETRA layers defined in the 2nd or standard.
- the applicant has developed the TETRA NÉBULA infrastructure that includes its own TETRA base stations (TBS).
- TBS TETRA base stations
- the name assigned for these base stations (TBS) within the NÉBULA infrastructure, is SBS or zone base stations (Site Base Station).
- the handover is the process of passing a communication of the same mobile unit from one channel to another and is characteristic of cellular communication systems, that is, those in which the coverage area is divided into cells or cells controlled by base stations.
- the reasons or reasons to produce a handover are:
- Type 1 and type 2 handovers established in the TETRA specifications, refer to the handover between two different cells with the following characteristics:
- - handover type 1 The mobile unit is immersed in a traffic call occupying a traffic slot of a carrier. The mobile unit informs the carrier that it has detected another cell with better coverage and this tells which traffic slot of the other cell has to go. The effect of the above is that the traffic call is not interrupted.
- - handover type 2 As in the previous type, the mobile unit is participating in a traffic call. This unit communicates to the carrier where it is making the call that is going to go to another cell. When changing cells, it goes directly to the control channel of the destination cell, without having to look for the synchronization of the TDMA frame. The control channel reconnects the call and sends it to a traffic slot. The The effect of the above is a reduction in the cut-off time of the call versus having to seek the synchronization of the TDMA frame.
- the applicant has developed a zone or cell synchronization system by receiving the base station from the adjacent area.
- This system has been designed to comply with the expressed functionality of handover 1 and 2, for which use is made of an ISYNC module (isolated synchronization module) that incorporates a receiver tuned to the frequency of the adjacent area, thus allowing get the necessary synchronization between SBS base stations by neighborhood.
- ISYNC module isolated synchronization module
- the system also includes, if necessary, the use of directive antennas directed to the adjacent standard zone, allowing the obtaining of the sufficient signal level in the receiver of said ISYNC module.
- the incorporation of the ISYNC module in the SBS base stations is carried out when the functionality of handover type 1 and 2 is implemented between different SBS base stations.
- Figures 1 and 2 show graphical, schematic representations of two typical examples of application of the system of the invention, namely subway applications and outdoor applications, respectively.
- FIG. 1 a schematic representation of a subway application can be seen in which a set of SBS stations, successively identified with the numerical references 1a, ..., 1d, each provided with radiating elements 2a, 2d, respectively, that materialize in each case directive antennas directed towards the adjacent anterior and posterior areas, indicating the arrows Fi, ..., F 3 the form of synchronization of each one with the immediate previous one, while if observed Figure 2, the situation represented corresponds to an outdoor application, in which each of the stations 3, 3a, ...., 3d is synchronized with one or more of those adjacent to it, which allows the realization of a handover of type 1 and 2 among all of them.
- the synchronization between channels that broadcast on the same network must be carried out with an accuracy of 1/4 symbol, that is, with offsets of less than 13.8 Ds.
- each SBS station 1a, 1d, ..., 3a 3d, ...., of an ISYNC module ISOLATED SYNC, Isolated Synchronization
- ISOLATED SYNC Isolated Synchronization
- each ISYNC module incorporated in each of the SBS stations, it has become necessary to use antennas 2a, ..., 2d, ..., sufficiently directive, directed to the adjacent standard area .
- TETRA counters are included within the TDMA TETRA frame, it is sufficient to perform synchronization at the symbol level with the standard carrier, and extract those counters to find the timestamping.
- the TDMA TETRA frame has the minimum unit of time as the symbol. These symbols are grouped into timeslots, which in turn form frames. The frames are sorted by multitramas and, finally, the category with the highest hierarchy is the hyperframe.
- timestamping we refer to the numbering that the frame has in an instant of time, that is, the counters of each element (SN: symbol number, TN: timeslot number, FN: frame number, MN: multi-frame number, HN: hypertrama number).
- SN symbol number
- TN timeslot number
- FN frame number
- MN multi-frame number
- HN hypertrama number
- the aforementioned internal ISYNC module begins to generate the standard synchronization signals NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) and PPS (pulse per second; pulse per second) , in order to make it compatible with the other synchronization systems.
- NMEA National Marine Electronics Association
- PPS pulse per second; pulse per second
- the ISYNC module is responsible for providing the reference for all base stations, both temporally and in frequency.
- the time reference is based on the generation of NMEA and PPS frames, while the frequency reference is generated by an oscillator that meets the precision and stability characteristics required by the TETRA standard.
- the temporal reference is obtained from an adjacent cell that is a temporal pattern.
- NMS Network Management System
- the frequency reference is generated by an OCXO oscillator (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator), which guarantees the accuracy required by TETRA standards (0.2 ppm for frequency carriers below 520 MHz and 0.1 ppm for higher frequency carriers) for a very long period of time, this time being in practice exceeding ten years.
- the accuracy of this type of quartz oscillators is achieved by maintaining a stable temperature of the oscillator regardless of the environment. For this, the oscillator is encapsulated in a "furnace" which, after a period of heating, reaches a high and constant temperature.
- each ISYNC module comprises an oscillator, preferably OCXO, a TETRA receiver, and a control module for performing the calculations.
- the temporal reference for the base stations is obtained from the adjacent cell.
- the signal arrives with a sufficient power level, which implies the use of antennas 2a 2d, ..., directional with sufficient gain, focusing the main beam towards the transmitting antenna of the adjacent area
- the ISYNC module searches for the logical channel BSCH (Broadcast Synchronization Channel), in order to synchronize the TETRA symbol with an accuracy greater than a quarter of a symbol.
- BSCH Broadcast Synchronization Channel
- This channel is present at least once per multi-frame.
- the ISYNC will decode the SYNC PDU (Packet Data Unit SYNC), which incorporates these counters into its fields. Once the meters have been acquired, they adjust with the delay due to the propagation of the radio signal between the two base stations described above. All this allows the ISYNC module to synchronize to the master zone with an accuracy greater than a quarter of a symbol. Thus, an NMEA frame and a PPS pulse are generated towards the carrier of the SBS base station corresponding to the TETRA timestamping just obtained.
