Abstract
The invention relates to communication systems in which end-user devices contend for access to shared resources of a channel in the communicationsystem. End-user devices sending data in packets over the communication channel piggyback requests for changes in allocated resources for transmission of another packet. A system controller changes the resource allocated to individual end-user devices depending upon the piggyback requests, in order to optimise the throughput of the channel. A packet switched network may thus act like a circuit switched network if required.
Description
ACCESS TO COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
This invention relates to communication systems and more particularly to a method and system for end-user devices to contend for access to shared resources of 5 a communication ch~nnel Recent improvements in multiple access methods allow contPn(1ing end-user devices access to shared networking resources in an orderly fashion. With the advent of wireless co~ ication networks, many access methods have become unsuitable for allocating shared resources. In particular, the dirr~.~.ll types of traffic and 10 ~liffering Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of each user can dramatically affect the signal quality (i.e. SNR) achieved by each user. With the diversity of applications which can be made available over a communication network, the problem of a~signm~nt of shared resources based on the QoS required by each end-user and the eff1cient use of bandwidth in a practical coll~l~lunication system become increasingly impoll~ll. The 15 disadvantages of the existing systems become more acute in mobile wireless communications systems, between a mobile end-user and a base station, especiallywhen an integrated mix of traffic such as speech, audio-visual and data communications are supported in the same channels. The QoS requilel~lenl~ of each end-user may vary dramatically during an established call and the type of traffic bclw~en end-users and 20 base stations may vary dynamically.
US 5751708 by Mark J. Karol and Kai Y. Eng, and paper "Distributed-Queueing (sic) Request Update Mulitiple Access (DQRUMA) for Wireless Packet (ATM) N~lw-~lk~" by Mark J. Karol, Zhao Liu and Kai Y. Eng., IEEE Tnt~rn~tional Conference on Communications 18-22 June 1995, ICC'95 Seattle, Gateway to 25 Globalization, pages 1224-1231, describe an access method that allows an end-user device to piggyback, with a packet tr~n~mi~sion, requests for access to a sharedcommumcations resource.
US 5598417 A describes a TDM (time division multiplex) wireless communication systems where the only resource is a time slot. The system confines the 30 communication services to two groups. One group deals with voice calls, circuit data connections, and system control information which are l.~.~-..illed one slot per frame (a frame consists of a number of slots). The other group deals with packet switched data, which is transmitted in the rest of the slots of the frame. The system achieves a flexible tr~nemieeion rate for a certain service only by allocating dirrerelll number of slots per frame.
US 5572546 describes a random access protocol, which is equivalent to slotted ALOHA.and ~esllmPs that all tçrmin~le are able to listen to each other. This system is inherently unsuitable for mobile cellular system where the mobile te min~l.e can only listen to base stations. The application of the protocol is mainly in multihop modems and coaxial cables.
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a method for an end-user device to request resources in a communication system comprising:
generating a plurality of information packets to be transmitted by said end-user device;
transmitting said information packets, in a sequence, over a 15 colmn~ ications channel within said communications system, characterised in that each information packet contains a piggy back field which indicates to a communication system controller resources requested by said end-user device for tr~n.emi.eeion of another information packet in said sequence.
According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided a communication system comprising:
at least one end-user device and a col",l,ullication channel within said co""nu"ication system and over which il~""dlion packets are tr~nemitte~l in a sequence, by said end-user device characterised in that each information packet contains a piggyback field which indicates to a communication systems controller resources requested by said end-user device fortr~nemiesion of another information packet in said sequence.
The information allows a number of end-use devices to transmit over the 30 same communication channel by multiplexing each user's signal in such a way that the aggregate traffic is optimal. Optimal channel throughput may be achieved, havingregard to the finite resources available in the communication channel.
One advantage of the invention is that flexibility in the service provided to each end-user device can be achieved with minimum cost, and without employing5 any additional control channels.
The çh~nging requirements of an end-user device can be accommodated and may include additional or reduced bandwidth. Piggyb~c~in~ requests for changes in future resources allocation is particularly a~plop.iate for use in a packet switched type co,~ ~ication system which may, depending on the QoS parameter of a particular 10 end-user device, be required to perform like a circuit switch communication system for at least some of the time.
To support a certain service, a mobile tennin~l requests a certain information data rate, at a certain delay requirement. Hence, the piggybacking field can represent a set of values, representing a range in data rates and delay sensitivities. The 15 base station will use the delay sensitivity value to assign its resources to support the requested data rate, whenever possible.
An air interface has a finite amount of resources with which to support a requested date rate. The air inte~ce can divide its spectrum into frequency segments, time segment~, spreading codes, or any combination thereof. More advanced systems 20 are likely to sep~dle the resource spatially through the use of directive ~ sRegardless of how the spectrum allocated to the system is divided, the resource is finite and can only support a finite aggregate data rate, which must be divided amongst the system's many mobile users.
In code division multiple access for example, the correlation between the 25 spreading codes limits the number of codes that can be used. The higher the data rate supported by a code, the greater the correlation of that code with respect to the other codes in the system. Hence the base station must trade off providing a large set of codes each suppo~ g a low data rate, with a small set of codes each supporting a high data rate. The piggybacking fields request for a certain data rate, can be accommodated by 30 the base station simply by allowing the mobile to change to the apl)lo~l;ate code, providing the code resource is available.
An embodiment of the invention is described, by way of example, with reference to the following figures, in which:
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a mobile wireless communication system according to the invention;
Figure 2 illustrates the communication channels employed in he embodiments;
Figure 3 shows a flow diagram of a mobile wireless communication system according to the invention;
Figure 4 represents a signal sent over a communications channel of a 10 mobile wireless communication system according to the invention; and Figure 5 shows another representation of a signal sent over a mobile wireless communication system acco.ding to the invention.
Figure 6 shows a third .e~.esent~lion of a signal sent over a mobile wireless commlmic~tiQn system according to the invention.
An end-user device (Mobile Station 1) may use any one of a number of co....-.~ ic~tion protocols to communicate with a nclw~k controller (e.g. base station 13, and mobile switching centre 14), via ~nt~nn~e 10 and 11, across an air interface 12.
In the following embodiment, the co.-~ .-ic~tion protocol used is CDMA (code division multiple access. This enables the mobile stations to communicate using a 20 coded spread ~ecl~ signal with codes which are almost uncorrelated, thereby providing a multiple access co-l",-unications protocol in which the collisions are not destructive of otner signals broadcast concu-.~ ly. Once a communication channel has been established b~ een mobile station 1 and its closest base station 13, the mobile switching centre 14 may establish a further connection to another mobile switching 25 centre 15 or to the public voice or data networks 16.
Figure 2 illustrates the logical channels established between n mobile stations (1,2,...n) and a base station 20 over the air int~ e 12, after the mobile stations have been connected to the mobile communications network. Each mobile station (1,2,...n) may contend for permission to send a data packet to the system controller 21 30 using the random access channel RACH. The base station uses a dynamic resource allocation table 22 (DRA) to establish whether sufficient resources are available in the network, and if so, grants permission on the feedbac~ ch~nnel to transmit the data packet. The mobile station then transmits the data packet on the traff1c channel TCH.
Figure 3 shows in more detail the protocol required to transmit data from the mobile station. Once a connection has been established, the mobile station remains 5 on standby until the user wishes to make a voice call, set up an int~rnçt connection, send a fax or an e-mail, or engage in some other data exchange process. Once data has been divided into packets and has arrived in the buffer the mobile station requests a traff1c channel by bro~lc~cting a request on the RACH. Since the arrival of requests on the RACH is essentially a random process, an access failure occurs if 1) contending end-10 user devices happen to select the same code at the same time, giving a code crosscorrelation below a predeterrninçd threshold (i.e. hard blocking) or 2) if the SNR of the physical channel deteriorates so badly that the requests cannot be decoded (i.e. soft blocking). An access failure requires the end-user device to l~ ll~lsnli~ the request using a slotted ALOHA back-off and retry protocol. The RACH requests contain the mobile 15 stations access identification (Access ID) and an indication of the Service Requirements (e.g. particular type of traffic required, number of packets etc). Once a RACH request has been sllccessfully decoded, the system controller acknowledges the request (RAAck) on the forward access channel (FACH). The acknowledgement contains the mobile stations Access ID and is transmitted using the same orthogonal code selected by 20 the mobile station. The system controller access the DRA table 22 (which con~ains the Access ID and Transmit-Re41lhc.nelll~ for a particular mobile station) and deter~nin~s the resources available in the con~ ication ch~nnçl. The system controller 21 negotiates with the mobile station for the use of the resources (e.g. bandwidth,multicodes, spreading factor, data rate, delay etc.) and the QoS threshold required. The 25 Mobile Station then awaits permission to transmit (TxPerm) which indicates that the negotiated resources have been allocated, and that the system controller has updated the DRA table 22 accordingly. The mobile station then transmits the data packet, piggybacking into the data a piggyback field, indicating any change in resourcesrequired for tr~n~mi~ion of the next or a subsequent packet. These resources may30 include changes in the bandwidth requirement, leading to a signal bandwidth profile as illustrated in Figure 4. If time division duplexing (TDD) is used to control the uplink and downlink communications between mobile stations and a base station, the piggyback field can be used to request access in a particular uplink. If a slotted ALOHA protocol is used to govern the timing of packet tr~ncmiccion, the piggyback field can be used to request access in a particular slot. Once a data packet has been S sllccescfully received and decoded, the system controller 21 transmits a lldllslllil acknowledgement (TxAck) on the FACH, indicating to the mobile station that the most recently lldnslnilled packet may be discarded from the buffer. The mobile station and the system controller are then able to negotiate any change in resources required by the mobile station and the system controller may update the DRA table as appropl;ate.
Figure 5 illustrates a data packet of the type that may be suitable for use in the CDMA protocol described above. The packet commences with some pilot bits (Pilot) which enable the base station to identify the start of a packet, followed by power control bits (TPC), which indicate whether the base station power should be increased or decreased. This is followed by rate information bits (RI) which tells the base station 15 the tr~n~miccion rate the user wants to use. The piggyback field (PGBK) is inserted before the data.
Figure 6 shows an alternative type of data packet suitable for use in the CDMA protocol described above. This ~It~ tive uses a second two way associated control channel (ACCH), which is established when the traffic channel is allocated. The - 20 traffic channel is used to ~ il the data, the ACCH lldllsl~ the control information (namely Pilot bits, TPC bits, RI bits and the piggyback field PGBK). The data information and the control information are in-phase/quadrature multiplexed.
The foregoing is to be construed as illustrative of the invention, and similar embo-lim~ntc would be ~arellt to one skilled in the art. For example, another 25 communications protocol, such as TDMA or FDMA may be used to transmit data packets. In any protocol, the packet tr~ncmiccion can be negotiated dynamically, or if the original allocation proves insuff1cient, the allocation can be dynamically altered during the call.
