Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method, a device and a computer program for establishing communication connections in a radio communication system with at least one base station and subscriber terminals, which are at least partially designed as multihop-capable ad hoc nodes.
- Radio communication systems with multihop-enabled subscriber terminals are well known in the art.
- EP CC 2003, March 2003 proposes a combination of a cellular mobile communication system based on a fixed base station infrastructure with a self-organizing WLAN ad hoc mobile communication system.
- the base stations provide access to a backbone
- the WLAN communication system has permanently installed Internet access points (access points).
- the coverage or coverage for establishing communication links between an access point and a mobile WLAN node can be extended by fixed or mobile multi-hop-capable nodes (Multihop Capable Nodes). It is stated that a multi-hop communication connection requires more network capacity compared to a direct communication connection, because corresponding transmission resources are required for each partial connection to set up the entire multi-hop connection.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an improved possibility for establishing communication links between a base station and subscriber terminals, which are at least partially designed as multihop-capable ad hoc nodes. This object is solved by the features of the independent claims.
- a first subject of the invention relates to a method for establishing communication links in a radio communication system with at least one base station and
- limiting values for multihop communication connections are established for at least some of the communication connections on the part of the radio communication system, current values for the multihop communication connections are determined and multihop communication connections to subscriber terminals only then set up, provided that the current limits do not exceed the specified limit values.
- the limit values can be set once or at regular intervals. However, they can also be set and optimized dynamically in an event-driven manner, for example when the current number of active subscriber terminals in the respective radio communication system changes.
- individual limit values can be defined for each base station.
- an individual optimization of the respective limiting values as a function of the local conditions in the area of the respective base station can take place.
- the limit values may in principle be determined in any suitable manner and by any suitable instance of the radio communication system.
- an evaluation of cell parameters by a base station of the radio communication system preferably takes place, and on the basis of the result of this evaluation, a definition of the limiting values for the communication connections of this base station. This can be the
- the limiting values of the base stations can be optimized in mutual coordination of the base stations with one another in order to achieve the best possible network function even across base stations. This development thus offers the possibility of adapting the limiting values of a base station on the basis of the defined limiting values of adjacent base stations.
- the exchange of information is based at least in part on a protocol IPv6 based.

- This protocol represents a further development of IPv6, which allows a scalable IP network infrastructure consisting of individual Mobility Anchor Points (MAP).
- the limiting values can basically be determined on the basis of any suitable specifications and / or measured data. However, it is preferably provided that the limit values are determined on the basis of ad hoc protocol data. In this way, data is used anyway to establish the limit values in the context of the construction or signaling of ad hoc communication connections. This realization of the invention with minimal additional effort on the part of the radio communication system is possible.
- Another object of the present invention comprises a device for establishing communication links in a radio communication system with at least one base station and subscriber terminals, at least partially are designed as multihop-enabled ad hoc nodes.

- the exemplary embodiment described below relates to a possibility for defining limit values for multihop communication links, wherein a definition of a hop radius (maximum number of hops per communication link) and / or a determination of the total number of ad hoc users currently connected to a base station Terminals in the ad hoc network is done.
- the subscriber terminals of the wireless communication network are able to establish a connection to the base station via an ad hoc network due to the multihop capability of at least some of the subscriber terminals, although these subscriber terminals rate are out of range of the base station.
- the ad hoc network thus extends the range of the base station by means of a multihop ad hoc routing protocol. This range extension is also called coverage extension.
- This coverage extension is based on the use of subscriber terminals in the form of ad hoc nodes, which provide as routers IP connections that can be used for the communication path of the respective communication connection.
- the wireless communication network can, for example, as a suitable UMTS mobile network or as
- Wireless network can be formed, which allows a corresponding ad-hoc coverage extension, as basically known from the cited prior art.
- the base station is the gateway between the ad hoc subscriber terminals and an IP infrastructure (e.g., Internet, see Figures 1 and 11). It offers ad-hoc user terminals access to the Internet and thus enables the connection of ad-hoc subscriber terminals to remote communication partners, which are also connected to an IP-based communication infrastructure.
- the base station is designed accordingly for the connection of ad hoc subscriber terminals to the Internet and is therefore designed both for processing an ad hoc protocol and an IP-based mobility protocol.
- the hop radius corresponds to the maximum allowable hop length from the base station to the ad hoc subscribers in the ad hoc network.
- the hop radius is thus the maximum number of hops (intermediate nodes) between the base station and an ad hoc subscriber terminal.
- the number of hops is using of the ad-hoc protocol transmitted to the base station, or can be determined by the base station from the routing information. If such a connection consists, for example, of three hops, then the base station, an ad hoc subscriber terminal and two further ad hoc nodes are contained in this connection.
- the network load increases, since this also means that more ad hoc users can be included in the ad hoc network around the base station.
- a hop radius can be specified by the base station itself. Based on this determination, ad hoc subscriber terminals whose hop length would exceed the hop radius will not be included in the ad hoc network around the corresponding base station. The network and network load thus remain stable.
- the absolute number of ad hoc subscriber terminals within an ad hoc network can be taken into account when calculating the network load and the definition of the hop radius.
- a definition of a maximum number of ad hoc subscriber terminals as a boundary value within an ad hoc network can be performed. For example, it may be specified that the hop radius for a particular base station is not reduced as long as a certain number of ad hoc subscriber terminals are not exceeded.
- the above-mentioned methods for determining the hop radius and the maximum permissible number of ad hoc subscriber terminals can be combined for an optimized calculation of the network load.
- a trade-off is possible, as a combination between a hop radius algorithm and ad hoc Participant algorithm improved network planning he ⁇ allows.
- This calculation can be carried out autonomously by the base station and used to determine both the hop radius and the maximum admissible ad hoc number of participants.
- a virtual coverage radius may be defined as a further limiting value for this method.
- This virtual coverage radius represents a value that is determined as a function of the specified and / or determined values for the hop radius and the maximum ad hoc number of participants.
- the coverage radius is defined directly proportional to the hop radius and the ad hoc number of participants.
- FA-BS4 (see Fig. 1) applied.
- This communication protocol provides for the exchange of information about limiting values, such as the hop radius or the maximum admissible ad hoc number of participants between (preferably adjacent) base stations FA-BS1 to FA-BS4.
- the exchange can take place, for example, via an IP infrastructure shown schematically in FIG. 1, to which the base stations FA-BS1 to FA-BS4 are connected.
- a hierarchical mobile IP infrastructure can be provided for this purpose, which allows higher-level instances (mobility agents) to coordinate the exchange of information between the base stations FA-BS1 to FA-BS4.
- These are formed in the example of FIG. 1 as Regional Foreign Agent RFA and / or Gateway Foreign Agent GFA.
- 11 shows an alternative embodiment based on IPv ⁇ .
- HMIPv ⁇ the IP structure according to HMIPv ⁇ is shown, whereby instead of the strictly defined RFA and GFA only functionally in principle equivalent Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) are provided.
- MAP Mobility Anchor Point
- the base stations BS1 to BS4 serve as access routers AR. This makes the IP infrastructure virtually scalable. This will be explained in detail later.
- the mobility agents RFA, GFA according to FIG. 1 are connected to the base stations FA-BS1 to FA-BS4 for data purposes.
- the named protocol allows this data exchange as part of the autonomous adaptation and optimization of the network planning, based on the hop radius and / or the maximum permissible ad hoc number of participants.
- the present invention sets bounds for an ad hoc network around a base station. This ultimately also determines the extent of the coverage extension around the corresponding base station. As a rule, lower hop radii or lower ad hoc subscriber numbers necessarily also lead to a smaller extension of the coverage extension achieved by the ad hoc network around a corresponding base station. This fact can be explained within the definition of the o.g. virtual coverage radius.
- the determination of the limiting values is necessary so that long-distance IP routes over a plurality of hops are not established by far-distant ad hoc subscriber terminals MN0, MN1, which in turn increase the bandwidth of the entire ad hoc network by one base station FA.
- a base station FA-BS1 to FA-BS4 can therefore ultimately influence, by specifying limit values, whether a far-reaching subscriber terminal MN0, MN1 is to be included in the own ad-hoc network. This requires an algorithm that can be derived from the existing number of ad-hoc subscribers and the hop lengths defines a criterion so that the bandwidth can be maintained.
- Each base station FA-BS1 to FA-BS4 may further decide on the basis of the fixed limit values and the information exchange with other base stations FA-BS1 to FA-BS4 and / or with a specific ad hoc subscriber terminal MNO, whether this ad hoc subscriber Terminal MNO is to be included in the own ad hoc network, in particular if this ad hoc subscriber terminal MNO can determine no other connection possibility to other base stations FA-BSl to FA-BS4 for themselves. In this case, the subscriber terminal MNO can send a corresponding request to the only accessible base station FA-BS1 to FA-BS4.
- the base stations FA-BS1 to FA-BS4 exchange the information about a provisionally fixed hop radius with each other.
- This information exchange can take place as broadcast / multicast and can use the existing IP-based infrastructure shown in FIG.
- each of the base stations FA-BS1 to FA-BS4 can vary the preliminary hop radius in one or more iterative optimization steps in such a way that a supply of the largest possible number of ad hoc Subscriber terminals MNO, MNl is possible, possibly taking into account minimum values for the bandwidth of each of the ad-hoc networks.
- This optimization can also take place dynamically, for example in the case when the network load of a specific base station FA-BS1 increases and the hop radius of this base station increases. tion FA-BSl must therefore be reduced.
- it can be determined in the context of the optimization method whether and to what extent other base stations FA-BS2 to FA-BS4 can expand their respective hop radius, thus enabling a comprehensive data supply of the ad hoc subscriber terminals MNO, MN1, so that each one Ad hoc subscriber terminal MNO, MNl can establish a data connection to a base station FA-BSl to FA-BS4. This will be clarified below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 below.
- signaling between base stations FA-BS1 to FA-BS4 and ad hoc subscriber terminals MNO, MN1 and possibly further signaling within the IP protocol between different, preferably adjacent base stations FA-BS1 to FA-BS4 are provided, which allows a certain base stations FA-BSl, an additional ad-hoc subscriber terminal MNl reject or assign to another base station FA-BS2 to FA-BS4.
- each ad hoc subscriber terminal MNO, MN1 which wants to communicate with the Internet needs a base station FA-BS1 to FA-BS4 as the default gateway, so that the routing requests are forwarded to the Internet.
- an IP-based mobility protocol is used that can forward the requests and responses to the respective base station FA-BS1 to FA-BS4.
- the use of such a mobility protocol e.g., Mobile IP / HMIP / FMIP
- the use of multihop-capable terminals and ad-hoc routing protocols can increase the coverage of the base stations.
- the range of the base station expands with the number of connected ad hoc nodes. Measurements show that this expansion adversely affects data throughput.
- the network load can be optimized.
- the base stations can independently regulate the data rate and the network load in such a way that the actual network load does not exceed a predefined maximum network load. Thus, the required data rate for each ad hoc subscriber terminal for ad hoc data connections over the respective base station can be maintained.
- an ad hoc multihop protocol has so far been designed so that a maximum permissible hop length or a defined hop radius is not provided for the connection of ad hoc subscriber terminals to existing ad hoc networks .
- the general inclusion of all subscribers in an existing ad hoc network is more important, regardless of the hop number.
- an autonomous understanding of the base station among each other via limiting values and, if appropriate, their optimization in the protocols according to the prior art is currently not provided.
- Method for determining the hop length and determining the hop radius a) Definition of an optimal network load by the base station b) Determination of the actual network load by the base station c) comparing the optimum network load with the maximum admissible ⁇ gen network load by the base station d) establishing a hop radius based on the result from step c) e) transmission of information on the established hop radius to neighboring base stations via the above protocol f) ⁇ Autonomous adaptation of the hop radius based on received information about the hop radii of adjacent base stations by the base station
- Method for determining the maximum ad hoc number of nodes (number of nodes): a) definition of an optimal number of nodes by the base station b) determination of the actual number of nodes by the base station c) comparison of the optimal number of nodes with the maximum number of nodes permitted by the base station d ) Determination of a maximum number of nodes allowed e) Transmission of information about the specified number of nodes to neighboring base stations via the abovementioned protocol f) Autonomous adaptation of the number of nodes based on received information about the number of nodes of neighboring base stations by the base station
- Method for the combined determination of the hop length and the ad hoc number of participants (hybrid method): a) Determination of the optimal network load, consisting of an optimum of the number of ad-hoc nodes and the hop radius by the base station b) Determination of the actual network load, consisting of the actual number of ad-hoc nodes and the actual hop radius by the base station c) comparison of the actual network load with the optimal network load by the base station d) Determination of the hop radius and the maximum number of nodes allowed e) Transmission of information about the specified hop radius and the specified number of nodes to neighboring base stations via the above protocol f) Autonomous adaptation of the hop radius and the number of nodes based on received nodes Information about the hop radius and the number of nodes of neighboring base stations by the base station
- An algorithm is used which evaluates the respective load and the respective status of a base station in conjunction with the connected ad hoc network. This evaluation is based on the determination of the hop density and the hop length. The density calculation results from the number of ad hoc subscriber terminals divided by the hop radius. It is also possible to average individual results determined at different times from the calculation of the ad hoc density and to use them for a comparison. If the hop number rises, so too is an increasing one
- Net density to count An increase in network density will in turn increase the network load. This in turn leads to the minimization of the data rate of all ad hoc subscriber terminals.
- the network In order for the base station to be able to meet the determined data rate for all ad hoc subscriber terminals, the network must be limited. This can be determined by an active measurement or by comparison values, whereby the optimal network density can be determined. The values required for this are known to the respective base station.
- the base station can compare the current network density, which results on the basis of the currently determined number of ad hoc subscriber terminals, with stored and / or averaged desired values and autonomously set the hop radius.
- the base station can determine the hop radius and to decide whether a new ad hoc subscriber terminal is to be recorded, use.
- Ad hoc subscriber terminals with a hop length less than or equal to the hop radius can be included in the ad hoc network by the base station. However, this increases the network load. Exceeding a nominal value or maximum value of the network load can be achieved via the above
- Comparison of the current ad hoc number of participants with the specified maximum number of ad hoc user terminals and possibly the rejection of the new subscriber terminal can be prevented, or by recalculation of the current network load and, if necessary, reduction of the hop radius.
- the criterion for an ad hoc node to build a route to a particular destination node is currently based on a hop metric based on the prior art of choosing the shortest path and using it as the communication path.
- an ad hoc node will typically choose a base station offering the shortest path.
- this is not permissible if the selected path length exceeds the hop radius of the ad hoc network of the corresponding base station.
- FIG. 1 shows by way of example four base stations FA-BS1 to FA-BS4. These four base stations FA-BS1 to FA-BS4 are formed according to the IP protocol illustrated in FIG. 1 as foreign agents, which are connected to one another at least regionally via regional foreign agents RFA.
- IPv6 as shown in FIG. 11, this structure corresponds to a structure consisting of Mobility Anchor Points (MAP), which perform the local registration of the ad hoc subscriber terminals.
- FIG. 1 shows two mo- bile ad hoc nodes MNO, MNl, which move freely between the four base stations FA-BSl to FA-BS4.
- MNO Mobility Anchor Points
- FIG. 2 shows an ad hoc network structure consisting of four ad hoc networks, each consisting of ad hoc subscriber terminals A and one base station B.
- ad hoc network structure consisting of four ad hoc networks, each consisting of ad hoc subscriber terminals A and one base station B.
- no limit value is defined for the hop length between the base stations B and the ad hoc subscriber terminals A.
- FIG. 4 shows the situation according to FIG. 3 after the individually defined hop radius of the base stations B has been further optimized in one or more iterative optimization steps by an agreement between the base stations B regionally and / or globally such that all ad - Hunt subscriber terminals A can be supplied.
- a dynamic network load distribution is possible, which allows, if possible, each base station B only as much ad hoc Subscriber terminals A manages how they can absorb their own performance, but still all subscriber terminals A are supplied.
- an increase in the network load over the capacity of each base station B can be avoided and, nevertheless, a nationwide supply can be guaranteed.
- Fig. 5 shows the sequence of the proposed protocol in the attempt of the subscriber terminal MN (n) to connect to the base station BS (n) to get over this base station as a default gateway access to the Internet.
- MN (n) sends a base station request BS Req via a multihop-capable terminal MN (n + 1), which is already part of the ad hoc network of the base station BS (n).
- BS (n) then compares the hop length with the defined hop radius. Since this is satisfied, BS (n) receives the subscriber terminal MN (n). This then starts the registration process with the Home Agent (HA) or the Correspondent Node (CN) and sends a Binding Update BU. This is confirmed by the Home Agent (BU ACK). The connection is fully established at this time.
- "Subscriber terminal MN (n) is now connected to an IP-based infrastructure (e.g., the Internet).
- FIG. 6 shows, analogously to FIG. 5, the sequence profile of the proposed protocol in the attempt of the subscriber terminal MN (n) to connect to the base station BS (n) in order to gain access to the Internet via this base station as the default gateway.
- MN (n) sends a base station request BS Req via a multihop-capable terminal MN (n + 1), which is already part of the ad hoc network of the base station BS (n).
- BS (n) then compares the hop length to the defined hop radius. As a result, however, the base station BS (n) in this case determines that it is not satisfied. Therefore, BS (n) sends a negative acknowledgment BS NACK.
- Subscriber terminal MN (n) now starts with a new Base Station Request BS Req. Thereupon, another base station BS (n + 1) reports. This could have already been reported at the first request. However, the subscriber terminal MN (n) has no knowledge of which BS can receive it. Therefore, the first BS will not respond to the second request (storage of the request may be preferred).
- BS (n + 1) after comparing the hop length with the hop radius, is ready to accept the new node MN (n) and sends a positive acknowledgment BS ACK.
- subscriber terminal MN (n) starts sending the binding update (BU) to the home agent (HA).
- the connection is completely established.
- Fig. 7 shows the sequence course in the attempt of the subscriber terminal MN (n) to log on to base station BS (n).
- MN (n) again sends a request via a multihop-capable terminal MN (n + l), which is already part of the ad hoc network of the base station BS (n).
- the base station BS (n) compares the hop length with a defined hop radius. The comparison 'leads to the result that the participant MN (n) would have to be rejected.
- the base station BS (n) starts a query to neighboring base stations BS (n + 1) to determine its hop radius.
- BS (n) sends a HOP request (HOP Req).
- HOP Req HOP request
- the answer of the neighboring base station BS (n + 1) leads to the result that BS (n) has yet to pick up the new subscriber MN (n).
- the connection is then completely established.
- the reason for this may be that the other BS (n + 1) has reached its power limit, which may be indicated by a low hop radius.
- BS (n) has the highest hop radius and can increase this so that the new subscriber terminal M (n) can be recorded. If the BS (n) can not increase the hop radius since the power limit has been reached, the new subscriber terminal MN (n) will not be picked up. This can or must now by means of a Vertical Hanodff, for example, in a parent network, eg in a cellular mobile network, change.
- FIG. 8 shows the sequence profile during the attempt of the subscriber terminal MN (n) to log on to the base station BS (n) via a multi-hop-enabled terminal MN (n + 1).
- the base station BS (n) compares the hop length with a specified hop radius. The comparison leads to the result that the participant MN (n) would have to be rejected.
- the base station BS (n) starts a poll to the neighboring base station BS (n + 1) to determine its hop radius. For this, BS (n) sends a HOP Request HOP Req.
- the response of the neighboring base station BS (n + 1) leads to the result that BS (n) does not need to pick up the new subscriber M (n).
- BS (s) thus sends a BS NACK.
- MN (n) then sends a BS Req to discover another base station. It reports BS (n + 1), which has a higher hop radius.
- This base station BS (n + 1) compares the request with its hop radius and picks up the new subscriber MN (n). This then sends the Binding Update (BU) to the Home Agent (HA) -. The connection is completely established.
- BU Binding Update
- CN Correspondent Node
- HA Home Agent
- GFA Gateway Foreign Agent
- RFA Regional Foreign Agent
- FA Foreign Agent
- Ad hoc network consisting of M (n) and MN (n + l).
- the ad-hoc routing protocol (here AODV) is used to connect and transfer the IP routing packets.
- the HMIP protocol stack is used to connect the mobile subscriber terminals to the Internet if they change between the IP networks. For this, the ad-hoc user terminals must use the Binding Up- Send date (BU) via the base station.
- the base station here is the FA, which represents the gateway between the ad-hoc network and the IP infrastructure.
- Mobility Anchor Points MAP are provided instead of Gateway Foreign Agent (GFA) and Regional Foreign Agent (RFA).
- GFA Gateway Foreign Agent
- RFA Regional Foreign Agent
- FIG. 10 shows schematically the essential components according to the invention of a base station BS1 for establishing communication connections in a radio communication system with at least a plurality of base stations BS1, BS2 and subscriber terminals MNO, MN1.
- the subscriber terminals MNO, MNl are designed as multihop-capable ad hoc nodes.
- the subscriber terminal MNO attempts to set up an ad hoc communication connection to the base station BS1 via the subscriber terminal MN1.
- the base station BS1 has a device Limit Value Definition Unit LVDU for defining the hop radius for multihop communication connections.
- This device LVDU is technically connected to a device Limit Value Comparison Unit LVCU. for comparing the specified hop radius with current values for the hop length of the currently in question communication connection.
- This device LVCU is in turn connected to a device Multihop Communication Unit MHCU for setting up further multi-hop communication links depending on the comparison result.
- at least the device LVDU is connected to a data exchange unit IXU for exchanging information about the hop radius between the base station BS1 and one or more adjacent base stations BS2 of the radio communication system.
- FIG. 11 shows a structure analogous to FIG. 1, which is used to implement HMIPv ⁇ in the context of the present invention serves.
- the gateway Foreign Agent GFA and the Regional Foreign Agents RFA instead of the gateway Foreign Agent GFA and the Regional Foreign Agents RFA, only Mobility Anchor Points MAP are provided, which in principle can be arranged in arbitrary hierarchy levels.
- the base stations BS1 to BS4 serve as access routers AR in this case.
- Such an IP infrastructure is arbitrarily scalable, ie in principle any number of MAPs can be provided in any hierarchical arrangement in order to provide a desired network coverage or a desired number of network accesses.
- the network hierarchy may also be designed differently in different branches of the IP infrastructure, as shown schematically in FIG. 11 for the left and the right branch of the IP infrastructure.
- a handover for example, from the base station BS3 to the base station BS4 can usually be handled more quickly, since only local MAPs have to be involved in the signal processing of the handover and not a central facility such as RFA or a GFA.
