Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the field of wireless communications, and more particularly, to code division multiple access (CDMA) communication systems and dispatch group call communication systems.
- CDMA code division multiple access
- a typical dispatch two-way radio communication system comprises communication units, communication resources, communication sites, and a communication resource allocator.
- Each of the sites has a substantially distinct coverage area and is geographically located throughout the system.
- Each site also has a number of communication resources assigned to it, where at least one of the communication resources is used as a control channel, while a number of the remaining communication resources are used as voice channels.
- FDMA frequency division multiplex access
- TDMA time division multiple access
- the communication units are typically arranged into communication groups (talkgroups) and may be located anywhere within the system (in any site).
- a communication unit of a talkgroup requests a group call, it transmits, via a control channel of the site in which it is located, an inbound signaling message to the communication resource allocator.
- a g roup call typically allows all members of the same talkgroup that are located within the system to communicate with each other.
- the inbound signaling message generally comprises the requesting communication unit's individual identification number, the requesting communication unit's talkgroup, and a request for a group call.
- the communication resource allocator Upon receiving the inbound signaling message, the communication resource allocator will allocate a voice channel in each site to the requesting communication unit's talkgroup.
- a forward link is established (one in each site where communication units are p resent) a nd monitored by all units involved in the group call in that site, and a single reverse link which is used by the group member who is currently transmitting to the other members.
- Non-transmitting talkgroup members are typically in a listen only mode (i.e., not able to transmit when another member is talking) and thus are not allocated a dedicated reverse link.
- time slots are allocated to different users.
- a talkgroup member transmitting on an assigned reverse link is allowed to use full power transmission to support short bursts of signals in allocated time slots. Despite the discontinuous or discrete nature of this approach, the listener receives what appears a continuous service.
- CDMA spread spectrum digital technology
- CDMA relies on processing power to extract a coded signal embedded across a broad frequency spectrum.
- the only way to extract the wanted signal from among many other overlaid unwanted signals is to have the right code.
- the use of coding allows more channels to be derived by the overlaying of carriers one over another and greatly enhances performance in terms of derived channels per hertz of bandwidth.
- CDMA is well suited for cellular communications, but has never been employed in a conventional dispatch system. Unlike conventional dispatch systems, CDMA systems require soft handoff at cell (site) boundaries. During a soft handoff, a communication unit, or mobile station (MS), receives the call transmission from multiple cells simultaneously until it completes the soft handoff.
- MS mobile station
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram depiction of a communication system in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram depiction of base sites and a mobile station (MS) from the communication system of FIG. 1 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- MS mobile station
- FIG. 3 is a logic flow diagram of steps executed by a base site in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the present invention enables base-initiated soft handoff for dispatch calls.
- a mobile station in a dispatch call establishes an individual inbound link with the serving base site.
- the serving base site and one or more adjacent base sites determine the signal quality of the inbound link transmissions of the mobile station.
- the adjacent base site with the highest received inbound link signal quality is selected as the target soft handoff site.
- the s erving base s ite then transmits the handoff information to enable the mobile station to begin a soft handoff with the target site.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram depiction of communication system 100 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the wireless communication system 100 is a suitably modified CDMA system, such as a Wideband Spread Spectrum Digital Cellular System in accordance with, for example, the Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Association Interim Standard 95 (EIA/TIA IS-95) as known in the art.
- System 100 comprises a plurality of communication units, although only communication u nit 1 20 i s i llustrated i n F IGs. 1 and 2 for simplicity.
- each of the communication units is physically capable of duplex communications, although during typical group communications, only a single communication unit is transmitting at a time.
- the fixed infrastructure comprises those elements normally required to support communications within wireless system 100 and, in the preferred embodiment, conforms to a typical CDMA architecture.
- the wireless CDMA communication infrastructure comprises well-known components such as base sites 110-112 and their respective service coverage areas 101-103.
- the base sites 110-112 typically communicate with each other and with one or more base site controllers, a switch, and additional well-known infrastructure equipment not shown.
- the communication infrastructure has been limited to that shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram depiction of base sites 110-112 and mobile station (MS) 120 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- MS mobile station
- Base site 111 comprises transmitter 1 41 , receiver 1 42, a nd controller 1 40.
- B ase sites in general and base site transmitters, receivers, and controllers in particular are well known in the art.
- Controller 140 preferably comprises one or more memory devices and processing devices such as a microprocessor and a computer memory.
- base site 111 under the control of software / firmware algorithms stored in the memory devices of base site 111 , base site 111 performs those tasks required for well-known base site operation and, additionally, the method described relative to FIG. 3.
- CDMA communication channels 134-137 are effectively provided through the use of codes using well-known techniques, e.g., through a combination of orthogonal Walsh codes and pseudorandom noise (PN) sequences.
- channels 134-135 comprise full- rate outbound traffic channels transmitted by base sites 111-112, respectively.
- channel 136 is an inbound access channel on which any mobile station (MS) in the system may signal base site 111.
- channel 137 is a low-rate inbound link used by an individual MS to communicate forward power control information, soft handoff information, and / or reverse power information.
- the use of this link is described at length in U.S. Patent No. 5,914,958, entitled “FAST CALL SETUP IN A CDMA DISPATCH SYSTEM,” and U.S. Patent No. 6,115,388, entitled “ESTABLISHMENT OF MULTIPLE LOW-RATE INBOUND SIGNALING LINKS IN CDMA DISPATCH SYSTEM,” both of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Operation of a preferred communication system 100 occurs substantially as follows.
- full-rate CDMA outbound traffic channel 134 is established by base site 111 and used to begin transmitting the dispatch call to MSs 120.
- MS 120 transmits a request to base site 111 via access channel 136 to establish a low-rate inbound link with base site 111.
- Inbound link 137 is thus established.
- This low-rate inbound link is established in accord with the description in U.S. Patent No. 5,914,958 or alternatively with the description in U.S. Patent No. 6,115,388, both referred to above.
- base site 111 monitors the signal quality of channel 137 and eventually determines that MS 120 should begin a soft handoff.
- base site 111 requests base sites 110 and 112, via an interconnecting infrastructure network, to also determine the signal quality of channel 137 at their respective locations.
- base site 111 preferably provides them with MS 120's long code. Receiving the requested signal qualities from base sites 110 and 112, base site 111 preferably selects the base site reporting the strongest signal quality for MS 120 and requests that base site to support a soft handoff of MS 120.
- the selected base site (base site 112, e.g.) establishes full-rate CDMA outbound traffic channel 135, begins transmitting the dispatch call in progress, and responds to base site 111 with an indication of channel 135's availability for soft handoff.
- Base site 111 communicates to MS 120 the identity and availability of channel 135 for soft handoff to base site 112.
- base site 111 transmits both the CDMA code used for channel 135 and the pseudorandom noise scrambling code offset that base site 112 uses. Together, the code and the offset, identify channel 135 and base site 112 to MS 120.
- base site 111 may also indicate the identity of MS 120 as a means to address the indication to MS 120.
- base site 111 preferably uses in-band signaling on channel 134 to indicate the identity of channel 135 and base site 112.
- base site 111 could transmit an individual page to MS 120 or a broadcast page that conveys the identity and availability of channel 135 at base site 112. If a broadcast page is used it could also include a talkgroup ID to direct the page to the talkgroup involved in the dispatch call. All the MSs in the dispatch call who are simultaneously scanning the paging channel could thus receive the soft handoff information needed by MS 120.
- MS 120 may then begin a soft handoff with base site 112 by simultaneously receiving the dispatch call via channels 134 and 135.
- FIG. 3 is a logic flow diagram of steps executed by a base site in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Logic flow 300 begins (302) as a dispatch call is being set up by the base site.
- the base site preferably establishes (304) a full-rate outbound traffic channel on which to transmit (306) the dispatch call to an MS in the base site's coverage area.
- the base site also establishes (308) a low-rate inbound link for the dispatch call with the MS upon receiving a request from the MS.
- the base site determines (310) that the MS needs a soft handoff to maintain the dispatch call
- the base site requests (312) adjacent base sites to also determine the signal quality of the inbound link signal as they receive it.
- the base site selects (316) as the soft handoff target the adjacent base site that reports the highest signal quality.
- the base site requests (318) the soft handoff target site to support a soft handoff of the MS.
- the base site will receive (320) an indication that an outbound traffic channel at the target site is available for soft handoff.
- the base site then signals (322) the MS preferably indicating the CDMA code that identifies the target site channel and indicating the PN offset that identifies the target base site to enable the MS to begin a soft handoff with the target site.
- logic flow 300 ends (324).
