Abstract
It is possible to provide a digital radio system, a radio base station device, and a radio relay device which can receive and demodulate digital data in a frame even if the data is delayed or missing in a terminal device during relay of the data without outputting an uncomfortable sound.
The radio base station device (relay device) rebuilds digital data obtained by receiving/demodulating a frame signal again into a frame signal and then retransmits the data. The device includes a frame rebuilding means which sets IDLE data, CRC error data, or FEC error data if the data in the received/demodulated frame cannot be normally acquired. The same principle can be applied to the radio relay device and the digital radio system so as to prevent output of an uncomfortable audio at a mobile communication terminal.

なお、デジタル無線システムにおけるフレーム構成としては、例えば図9に示すものが知られている。即ち、図9(a)は、音声フレームの構成例を示すもので、先頭に同期ワード(FSW)と、フレーム構造情報を示す、リンク情報チャネル(LICH)と、低速に制御情報を伝送する、低速付随チャネル(SACCH)が配置され、次に、圧縮された音声符号化データを伝送するための、音声チャネル(VCH)が続くように構成されている。また、図9(b)は、通常の音声フレーム伝送中に、音声符号化データの代わりに高速に制御情報を伝送するための構成となるスチールフレームで、同様に先頭に、同期ワード(FSW)と、リンク情報チャネル(LICH)と、低速付随チャネル(SACCH)が配置され、音声チャネル二つ分を一つのデータ構造とする高速付随チャネル(FACCH1)が続くように構成されている。 Regarding speech coding in such digital wireless communication, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique related to an inter-channel synchronization method in a digital wireless base station and an inter-channel synchronization program therefor, which can be referred to. .
As a frame configuration in the digital radio system, for example, the one shown in FIG. 9 is known. That is, FIG. 9A shows a configuration example of a voice frame. A synchronization word (FSW) at the head, a link information channel (LICH) indicating frame structure information, and control information are transmitted at a low speed. A slow associated channel (SACCH) is arranged, followed by a voice channel (VCH) for transmitting compressed voice encoded data. FIG. 9B shows a still frame that is configured to transmit control information at high speed instead of speech encoded data during normal speech frame transmission. Similarly, a synchronization word (FSW) is placed at the head. The link information channel (LICH) and the low-speed associated channel (SACCH) are arranged, and the high-speed associated channel (FACCH1) having two data channels as one data structure follows.
また、送信中の待機動作などの、特に通知する情報がない場合に用いられ、制御情報を伝送するための付随チャネル(SACCHおよびFACCH1)に適用されるデータとしてIDLEデータがある。IDLEデータは移動局、基地局の両方が使用しており、具体的には、移動局の送信時の先頭で、音声が処理されてデータ化される間の数十msecの間や、基地局で送信を継続したまま、中継動作が切り替わる間(音声が中断されてデータ通信になる場合や通話チャンネルを起動したまま、複数の無線機が交互に通話する場合のなど)に使用されるデータである。

Further, IDLE data is used as data applied to an accompanying channel (SACCH and FACCH1) for transmitting control information, which is used when there is no information to be notified, such as a standby operation during transmission. The IDLE data is used by both the mobile station and the base station. Specifically, at the beginning of transmission of the mobile station, for several tens of milliseconds while the voice is processed and converted into data, the base station The data used during the relay operation is switched while the transmission continues (for example, when the voice is interrupted and data communication is started, or when the call channel is activated and multiple radios are talking alternately) is there.

しかしながら、このように通信回線を介して伝送すると、ノイズ混入や位相遅延等、種々の理由によってフレーム中のデータが失われることがあり、無線回線や中継処理を含む場合は、データ欠損の割合が大きくなる。従って、上述したように、デジタル符号化された情報を含む無線信号を受信復調(又は受信復号)した後、再度デジタル符号化して再送信する場合、受信復号時や伝送によりフレーム中のデータ欠落や遅延が発生すると、それらのフレームの再構築が不可能になり、フレームが欠損したものとなってしまう。
図10は、そのような従来の無線基地局装置や無線中継装置におけるフレーム中継処理に関連する不具合を説明するための図であり、図10(a)は、デジタル無線基地局Bがネットワークを介して受取ったフレーム構成例を示す図、図10(b)は、デジタル無線機Bに対して再送信するために再符号化、あるいは再フレーム化した際のフレーム構成の例を示したものである。
即ち、図10(a)に示すものは、デジタル無線基地局Bがネットワークを介して受取ったフレーム(Frame)のうち、フレーム1乃至フレーム4、及びフレーム8は正常にデータが復調されたが、フレーム4からフレーム5にかけて遅延し(FrameL)、フレーム5乃至フレーム7においてデータが欠落(Frame×)した場合を示している。このような受信復調したデータをフレーム信号に再構築すると、図10(b)に示すように、遅延又はデータ欠落したフレームについてはフレームの再構築が不可能となり、欠損(空白)したものとなる。 However, if data is transmitted through the communication line in this way, data in the frame may be lost due to various reasons such as noise mixing or phase delay. growing. Therefore, as described above, when a radio signal including digitally encoded information is received and demodulated (or received and decoded), and then digitally encoded again and retransmitted, data loss in a frame due to reception decoding or transmission may occur. When a delay occurs, it becomes impossible to reconstruct those frames, and the frames are lost.
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining problems associated with frame relay processing in such a conventional radio base station apparatus and radio relay apparatus, and FIG. 10 (a) is a diagram in which digital radio base station B is connected via a network. FIG. 10B shows an example of a frame configuration when re-encoded or re-framed for re-transmission to the digital radio B. FIG. .
That is, in the example shown in FIG. 10A, among the frames received by the digital radio base station B via the network, the data of the frames 1 to 4 and the frame 8 are normally demodulated. In this example, there is a delay from frame 4 to frame 5 (Frame L), and data is lost (Frame ×) in frames 5 to 7. When such received and demodulated data is reconstructed into a frame signal, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the frame cannot be reconstructed for a frame that is delayed or missing data, and is lost (blank). .

FIG. 10B shows an example of a frame configuration when re-encoded or re-framed for re-transmission to the digital radio B. FIG. .
That is, in the example shown in FIG. 10A, among the frames received by the digital radio base station B via the network, the data of the frames 1 to 4 and the frame 8 are normally demodulated. In this example, there is a delay from frame 4 to frame 5 (Frame L), and data is lost (Frame ×) in frames 5 to 7.

このようにフレームが欠損した信号をデジタル無線機Bが受信復号すると、受信機の復調器(Vocoder)において正常な音声復号が不可能となり、スピーカからは極めて聞き苦しい音が出力される。
When the digital wireless device B receives and decodes a signal with a missing frame in this way, normal speech decoding is impossible in the receiver's demodulator (Vocoder), and a very unpleasant sound is output from the speaker.
通常、デジタルの移動通信端末機においては、受信復調したフレーム中にデータの欠落や遅延が含まれる場合であっても、誤り訂正によるデータ修復が行われることによって正常に音声復調が可能である。また、万一修復ができない場合には誤り検出によって、そのデータが破棄されるが、一般的には、それ以前に受信復調した正常な音声信号を繰り返し出力することによって、音切れを防止し、更に長期間データが破棄される場合は、ミュート(消音)処理を行うことによって、聞き辛い音の発生を防止するようになっている。しかし、上述したように、フレームそのものが欠損すると、誤り訂正や、誤り検出が不可能となるので、音切れ防止や、ミュート処理が行われず、聞き辛い音の出力を防止できない。
Normally, in a digital mobile communication terminal, even if a data loss or delay is included in a received and demodulated frame, data can be demodulated normally by performing data restoration by error correction. In addition, in the unlikely event that restoration is not possible, the data is discarded by error detection, but in general, by repeating and outputting a normal audio signal received and demodulated before that, sound interruption is prevented, Further, when data is discarded for a long period of time, a mute process is performed to prevent generation of difficult sounds. However, as described above, if the frame itself is lost, error correction and error detection become impossible, so that sound cut-off prevention and mute processing are not performed, and it is not possible to prevent the output of difficult sounds.
このような不具合は無線基地局装置において発生するばかりでなく、同様に無線中継機能を含むレピータ装置や無線中継装置、マルチアクセス(セルラ)方式の携帯電話システムの無線基地局装置に類したものにおいても問題となる可能性がある。

図1は本発明に係る無線基地局装置におけるデータフレームの中継処理(方法)の一例を示すフローチャートである。この例では、上述した図7に示すデジタル無線基地局B、即ち、通信相手方側である移動通信端末機(デジタル無線機B)の最寄りの無線基地局における処理を示したものである。
この時、デジタル無線基地局Bではネットワークからのデータを取得し、一定フレーム分データを確保してから送信を開始するものとする。フレームのデータの確保数が多いと音声の遅延につながり、フレームのデータ数が少なすぎるとデータの欠落が発生しやすくなるため、正常動作で問題ない基準でデータを確保するものとする。送信が開始された場合、送信が終了するまでフレームは連続で送信される。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

Therefore, data is secured on the basis of no problem in normal operation. When transmission is started, frames are continuously transmitted until transmission is completed.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing an example of data frame relay processing (method) in a radio base station apparatus according to the present invention. This example shows the processing in the above-described digital radio base station B shown in FIG. 7, that is, the radio base station nearest to the mobile communication terminal (digital radio B) which is the communication partner side.

処理がスタートすると、先ず、ネットワークからデータを取得する(S1)。そして、デジタル無線機Bに対して再送信する際のフレーム送信開始であることを判断すると(S2)、送信すべきフレームについてのデータがネットワークから得られているか否かを判断する(S3)。フレームデータが得られた場合は「データあり」と判断して(S3、Yes)、処理S4に移行し、得られたデータをフレームデータとして設定すると共に(S4)フレーム送信を行う(S5)。また、フレームデータが欠落している場合は、上記処理S3における判断は「該当フレームのデータなし」となるので(S3、No)、そのフ
レームには「IDLEデータ」を設定し(S6)、フレームの送信を行う(S5)。
ネットワークから取得したデータをフレームとして再構築し、フレーム単位としてカウントを行う。フレームのカウント数が規定値に満たない場合、該当フレームデータ取得を出来なかったものとする。 When the process starts, first, data is acquired from the network (S1). When it is determined that the frame transmission is started when retransmitted to the digital wireless device B (S2), it is determined whether or not data on the frame to be transmitted is obtained from the network (S3). If frame data is obtained, it is determined that “data is present” (S3, Yes), and the process proceeds to step S4. The obtained data is set as frame data (S4) and frame transmission is performed (S5). If the frame data is missing, the determination in the process S3 is “no data for the corresponding frame” (S3, No), and therefore “IDLE data” is set for the frame (S6). Is transmitted (S5).
Data acquired from the network is reconstructed as a frame and counted in units of frames. If the frame count is less than the specified value, the corresponding frame data cannot be obtained.

図2は、以上の処理を行った結果のIDLEフレームを示す図であり、FSW(フレーム同期ワード)、リンクチャネル情報(LICH)を設定した後、低速付随チャネル(SACCH)、高速付随チャネル(FACCH)に「IDLEデータ」を設定する。
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an IDLE frame as a result of the above processing. After setting FSW (frame synchronization word) and link channel information (LICH), a low-speed associated channel (SACCH), a high-speed associated channel (FACCH) ) Is set to “IDLE data”.
図3は、図11に示した復調データについて、本発明を適用した場合のフレーム構成例を示したもので、フレーム1乃至フレーム4においては「データあり」と判断して(S3、Yes)、処理S4に移行し、得られているデータをフレームに設定すると共に(S4)フレーム送信を行う(S5)。また、フレーム5乃至フレーム7についてはデータが欠落しているので、上記処理S3における判断は「該当フレームのデータなし」となり(S3、No)、そのフレームには「IDLEデータ」を設定し(S6)、フレームの送信を行う(S5)。その結果、図3(a)に示すようにデジタル無線基地局Bにおいて、データの遅延や欠落を含むフレームが復調された場合であっても、図3(b)に示すように、空白(欠損)となるフレームがない状態で再送信されることになる。
従って、これらのデジタル信号を受信復調するデジタル無線機Bにおいては、「IDLEデータ」に対しては、以前に取得した正常な復調音声を繰返して出力する処理もしくは、ミュート処理を行う。なお、遅延フレームや欠落フレームが瞬間的に起こった場合、ミュート処理を選択してしまうと、音が途切れ途切れとなってしまうため、繰り返し処理の方が適している。ただし、遅延フレームや欠落フレームが比較的長く続いた場合、繰り返し処理は不自然となるため、具体的には受信しているフレームの状態を記憶しておき、「IDLEフレーム」が2つ以上続いた場合(すなわち1フレーム前と現在フレームの両方がIDLEの場合)ミュートを選択する。図8に示されるデジタル無線基地局B、即ち、通信相手側のデジタル無線機Bにおいてなされる制御処理の内容を図4にフローチャートにて示す。 FIG. 3 shows an example of a frame structure when the present invention is applied to the demodulated data shown in FIG. 11. In frames 1 to 4, it is determined that “data is present” (S3, Yes), The process proceeds to step S4, where the obtained data is set in a frame (S4) and frame transmission is performed (S5). Further, since data is missing for the frames 5 to 7, the determination in the process S3 is “no data of the corresponding frame” (S3, No), and “IDLE data” is set for the frame (S6). ) And frame transmission (S5). As a result, even if the digital radio base station B demodulates a frame including a data delay or loss as shown in FIG. 3A, as shown in FIG. ) Will be retransmitted in the absence of a frame.
Therefore, in the digital wireless device B that receives and demodulates these digital signals, the “IDLE data” is subjected to a process of repeatedly outputting a normal demodulated sound obtained previously or a mute process. If a delay frame or a missing frame occurs instantaneously, if the mute process is selected, the sound will be interrupted, so the repeated process is more suitable. However, if a delayed frame or a missing frame continues for a relatively long time, the repetition process becomes unnatural. Specifically, the state of the received frame is stored, and two or more “IDLE frames” continue. In the case where there is an error (ie, when both the previous frame and the current frame are IDLE), mute is selected. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the contents of control processing performed in the digital radio base station B shown in FIG. 8, that is, the digital radio device B on the communication partner side.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the contents of control processing performed in the digital radio base station B shown in FIG. 8, that is, the digital radio device B on the communication partner side.
図4に示されるように、デジタル無線機Bにおいて、処理がスタートすると、データを受信し(SS1)、現在のフレームがIDLEであると判断すると(SS2)、さらに、1つ前のフレームがIDLEであるかどうかを判断し(SS3)、IDLEであると判断された場合には、ミュート処理を行い(SS4)、最後に現在のデータの状態を記憶して(SS5)制御処理を終える。一方、ステップSS2において、現在のフレームがIDLEでないと判断されると、そのまま現在のデータの状態を記憶して(SS5)、制御処理を終える。また、ステップSS3において、1つ前のフレームがIDLEでないと判断された場合には、繰り返し処理を行い(SS6)現在のデータの状態を記憶して(SS5)制御処理を終えるようになっている。
As shown in FIG. 4, in the digital radio B, when the process starts, data is received (SS1), and when it is determined that the current frame is IDLE (SS2), the previous frame is IDLE. (SS3), if it is determined to be IDLE, mute processing is performed (SS4), and finally the current data state is stored (SS5), and the control processing is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step SS2 that the current frame is not IDLE, the current data state is stored as it is (SS5), and the control process is terminated. If it is determined in step SS3 that the previous frame is not IDLE, the process is repeated (SS6), the current data state is stored (SS5), and the control process is terminated. .
なお、図4では1フレーム前のみを対象としているため、2フレーム連続でIDLEフレームだった場合にミュートをする場合の説明であるが、過去の数フレームを記憶することで複数フレームが連続した場合にミュートするように変更できる。また、連続したかどうかをカウンタを設けてIDLEフレームの場合+1とし、それ以外はクリアする方法で検出してもよい。
図3では、フレーム4の後の欠落と遅延によりIDLEフレームが設定されこれを受信した無線機は繰り返し処理の後に連続して消音状態になり、フレーム8においてフレームのデータが得られた時点で、音声の出力が再開されている。このように動作することで、意味不明や聞き辛い音声がスピーカ等から出力されると云った不具合が解消される。
本発明は、この例に限ることなく種々変形が可能である。図4は、本発明の他の実施例を示すフローチャートである。この例に示す無線基地局装置におけるデータフレームの中継方法では、フレームデータが得られない場合に、代わりに「FECエラー」データを挿入する場合を示している。 In FIG. 4, only one frame before is targeted, so the explanation is for muting when two frames are consecutive IDLE frames. However, when multiple frames are stored by storing several past frames, Can be changed to mute. Further, it may be detected by a method of providing a counter to determine whether or not the IDLE frame is +1 in the case of an IDLE frame, and clearing other than that.
In FIG. 3, when the IDLE frame is set due to the omission and delay after frame 4 and the radio device that has received this is in a mute state continuously after repeated processing, and when frame data is obtained in frame 8, Audio output has been resumed. By operating in this way, it is possible to solve the problem that meaningless or hard to hear sound is output from a speaker or the like.
The present invention is not limited to this example and can be variously modified. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing another embodiment of the present invention. In the data frame relay method in the radio base station apparatus shown in this example, when frame data cannot be obtained, “FEC error” data is inserted instead.

By operating in this way, it is possible to solve the problem that meaningless or hard to hear sound is output from a speaker or the like.
The present invention is not limited to this example and can be variously modified. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing another embodiment of the present invention. In the data frame relay method in the radio base station apparatus shown in this example, when frame data cannot be obtained, “FEC error” data is inserted instead.
図5においても、同様に上述した図8に示すデジタル無線基地局B、即ち、通信相手方側の無線基地局装置における処理を示したものである。処理がスタートすると、ネットワークからデータを取得する(S11)。デジタル無線機Bに対して再送信する際のフレーム送信開始であることを判断すると(S12)、送信すべきフレームについてデータが得られているか否かを判断する(S13)。フレームデータが得られた場合は「データあり」と判断して(S13、Yes)、処理S14に移行し、得られているデータをフレームに設定すると共に(S14)フレーム送信を行う(S15)。
FIG. 5 also shows processing in the digital radio base station B shown in FIG. 8 described above, that is, the radio base station apparatus on the communication counterpart side. When the process starts, data is acquired from the network (S11). If it is determined that it is the start of frame transmission when retransmitting to the digital radio B (S12), it is determined whether data is obtained for the frame to be transmitted (S13). If frame data is obtained, it is determined that “data is present” (S13, Yes), and the process proceeds to processing S14, where the obtained data is set as a frame (S14) and frame transmission is performed (S15).
一方、上記S13の判断において、フレームデータが欠落している場合は(S13、No)、そのフレームには「FSW」を設定し(S16)、次に、CRCエラーの低速付随チャネル(SACCH)とFECエラービット数が(デジタル無線機端末において)エラーと判断されるようなデータを、音声チャネル(VCH)に「エラー音声データ」として設定した後(S17、S18)、フレーム送信を実行する(S15)。なお、FEC(Forward Error Correction)は、データを伝送する前に誤り検出・訂正用の冗長データを付加しておき、誤りがあれば受信側で修正などを行う、順方向の誤り検出・訂正方式であるが、この例では、この機能を利用して、受信側で「FECエラー」と判断されるように選択したデータを挿入するものである。
On the other hand, if it is determined in S13 that frame data is missing (S13, No), “FSW” is set for the frame (S16), and then the CRC error low-speed associated channel (SACCH) and After setting data such that the number of FEC error bits is determined to be an error (in the digital radio terminal) as “error voice data” in the voice channel (VCH) (S17, S18), frame transmission is executed (S15). ). FEC (Forward Error Correction) is a forward error detection / correction method in which redundant data for error detection / correction is added before data transmission, and if there is an error, correction is performed on the receiving side. However, in this example, using this function, data selected so as to be judged as “FEC error” on the receiving side is inserted.
図6は、以上の処理を行った結果の一例を示すフレーム図であり、FSW(フレーム同期ワード)、リンクチャネル情報(LICH)に続く、低速付随チャネル(SACCH)であってデータが得られないフレームには、「CRCエラー」を示すデータが挿入され、その後のデータが得られない音声チャネル(VCH)には、「FECエラー」を示すデータが挿入されることになる。
FIG. 6 is a frame diagram showing an example of the result of the above processing, and it is a low-speed associated channel (SACCH) following FSW (frame synchronization word) and link channel information (LICH), and data cannot be obtained. Data indicating “CRC error” is inserted into the frame, and data indicating “FEC error” is inserted into the voice channel (VCH) from which subsequent data cannot be obtained.
図7は、上記図11に示した復調データについて、本発明の変形例を適用した場合のフレーム構成例を示したものである。即ち、フレーム1乃至フレーム4においては「データあり」と判断して(S13、Yes)、処理S14に移行し、得られているデータをフレームに設定すると共に(S14)、フレーム送信を行う(S15)。一方、フレーム5についてはデータが遅延しているので、上記処理S13における判断は「該当フレームのデータなし」となり(S13、No)、そのフレームには「CRCエラー」を示すデータを設定し(S17)、後続するVCHには、「FECエラー」となるようなエラービット数が大きな「エラーフレーム」データを挿入する。その結果、図7(a)に示すようにデジタル無線基地局Bにおいて、データの遅延や欠落を含むフレームが復調された場合であっても、図7(b)に示すように、空白(欠損)となるフレームがなく、その部分には「CRCエラー」、「FECエラー」を示すデータを埋め込んだ状態で再送信されることになる。
FIG. 7 shows an example of a frame configuration when the modified example of the present invention is applied to the demodulated data shown in FIG. That is, it is determined that “data is present” in frames 1 to 4 (S13, Yes), the process proceeds to step S14, the obtained data is set as a frame (S14), and frame transmission is performed (S15). ). On the other hand, since the data for frame 5 is delayed, the determination in the process S13 is “no data for the corresponding frame” (S13, No), and data indicating “CRC error” is set for the frame (S17). ) In the subsequent VCH, “error frame” data having a large number of error bits such as “FEC error” is inserted. As a result, even if the digital radio base station B demodulates a frame including data delay or omission as shown in FIG. 7A, as shown in FIG. ) Is not transmitted, and data indicating “CRC error” and “FEC error” is embedded in that portion and retransmitted.
従って、これらのデジタル信号を受信復調するデジタル無線機Bにおいては、図1乃至図3を用いて説明した実施例と同様に、以前に取得した正常な復調音声を繰返して出力する処理、又は、ミュート処理によって消音状態に制御されるので、フレームが空白状態で送信された場合に発生する、意味不明や聞き辛い音声がスピーカ等から出力されると云った不具合が解消される。特にこの変形実施例では、データが得られないフレームを全てエラーとして処理させるようなデータで埋めているので汎用的に使用可能である。
なお、上述した実施例では、再送するフレームのFSWとLICHは正しいシンボルデータを付加するようにしているので、受信側デジタル無線機においての同期は維持した状態でIDLE処理を行い、その他のデータ及び音声をエラーとさせることができる。 Therefore, in the digital radio B that receives and demodulates these digital signals, the process of repeatedly outputting the normal demodulated sound obtained previously, as in the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, or Since the sound is muted by the mute process, it is possible to solve the problem that a meaningless or hard to hear sound is output from a speaker or the like that occurs when a frame is transmitted in a blank state. In particular, in this modified embodiment, all frames for which data cannot be obtained are filled with data that causes them to be processed as errors, so that they can be used for general purposes.
In the above-described embodiment, since the correct symbol data is added to the FSW and LICH of the frame to be retransmitted, the IDLE process is performed while maintaining the synchronization in the receiving digital radio, and other data and Audio can be made an error.

In the above-described embodiment, since the correct symbol data is added to the FSW and LICH of the frame to be retransmitted, the IDLE process is performed while maintaining the synchronization in the receiving digital radio, and other data and Audio can be made an error.
なお、これまでの実施例の説明では図8におけるネットワークでつながれた無線基地局間の通信でデータの欠落や遅延が発生した場合を説明したが、この動作は移動局から送られてくるデータに関しても適用可能である。つまりデジタル無線機Aが送信してくるフレームデータが何らかの理由により欠落や遅延した場合(電波障害やマルチパス等が考えられる)、それを受信するデジタル無線基地局Aはこれまで説明してきた動作と同様に中継する送信データやデジタル基地局Bに伝送するデータを、IDLEデータやCRCエラーを示すデータ、FECエラーを示すデータに置き換えることができる。
In the above description of the embodiment, the case where data loss or delay occurs in communication between wireless base stations connected by the network in FIG. 8 has been described. This operation is related to data transmitted from a mobile station. Is also applicable. That is, when the frame data transmitted by the digital radio A is lost or delayed for some reason (such as radio wave interference or multipath), the digital radio base station A that receives it has the operations described above. Similarly, transmission data to be relayed and data to be transmitted to the digital base station B can be replaced with IDLE data, data indicating a CRC error, and data indicating an FEC error.
また、本発明は、音声信号が暗号化された場合においても同様に採用可能である。即ち、フレームの位置データと音声データとの関係が一定であるか、それらを示す何等かの情報がない場合は、暗号の解読が不可能乃至は困難である場合が多いが、本発明では、データが得られない場合においても、IDLEフレームやエラーのみのフレームを送信することによって、空白となるフレームが発生しないようにしている。従って、フレームの順番(SACCH)と音声チャネル(VCH)との関係を維持することができるので、音声が暗号化されたシステムにも何等支障なく採用可能である。
また、一般的に受信端末装置における音声のデコード処理は、DSP等の下位レイヤ処理において実行されるが、本発明は、その処理においてデータの判別等の処理が実行可能であるので、マイクロコンピュータによる上位レイヤにおける処理とは独立に行うことが可能である。従って、マイクロコンピュータの負荷を増大することなく、しかも高速に処理することが可能である。 Further, the present invention can be similarly adopted even when an audio signal is encrypted. That is, if the relationship between the frame position data and the audio data is constant or there is no information indicating them, it is often impossible or difficult to decrypt the code. Even when data cannot be obtained, an empty frame is not generated by transmitting an IDLE frame or an error-only frame. Therefore, since the relationship between the frame order (SACCH) and the voice channel (VCH) can be maintained, the system can be employed without any trouble in a system in which voice is encrypted.
In general, audio decoding processing in the receiving terminal device is executed in lower layer processing such as a DSP, but the present invention can execute processing such as data discrimination in the processing. It can be performed independently of the processing in the upper layer. Therefore, high-speed processing can be performed without increasing the load on the microcomputer.

本発明は、上述した実施例に限定する必要はなく、「IDLEデータ」、「CRCエラーを示すデータ」、「FECエラーを示すデータ」以外のものであっても同様に、通信システムとして移動通信端末機側において、音声出力を制限する機能を有する信号やデータを、欠落したフレームデータの代わりに設定することも可能である。また、システム的にそのようなデータや信号がない場合場、その目的のために独自のデータや信号を割り当てることも可能であろう。
The present invention need not be limited to the above-described embodiments. Similarly, other than “IDLE data”, “data indicating a CRC error”, and “data indicating an FEC error”, the communication system can be a mobile communication system. On the terminal side, it is also possible to set a signal or data having a function of restricting audio output instead of the missing frame data. If there is no such data or signal in the system, it will be possible to assign unique data and signals for that purpose.
