Abstract

An intermittent parameter is shared between a wireless terminal and a wireless base station without using a wireless communication path, and resource consumption of the wireless band is reduced.
A wireless terminal 101 stores intermittent parameters set individually in advance and performs an intermittent operation. Further, intermittent parameters related to all the wireless terminals 101 are registered in the in-database wireless terminal information table 411 of the database 401 on the network and managed centrally. When receiving a message (call request or the like) to a certain wireless terminal 101, the wireless base station control apparatus 301 acquires the intermittent parameter of the wireless terminal 101 from the database 401 and accommodates the acquired parameter in the wireless terminal 101. The wireless base station 201 is notified. The wireless base station 201 calculates a transmission timing (intermittent timing) based on the received intermittent parameter, and transmits a message to the wireless terminal 101.

Description

  The present invention relates to a wireless synchronization system including a wireless terminal, a wireless base station, and a wireless base station control device, and more particularly, a wireless synchronization system that intermittently receives a signal transmitted from a wireless base station in a wireless terminal. And a wireless synchronization method.

  In the wireless synchronization system, in order for the wireless terminal to receive the downlink communication transmitted from the wireless base station, it receives “downlink communication data itself” or “notifies that the downlink communication is transmitted. It is necessary to receive “transmission notification information” and then receive downlink communication data. Since the wireless terminal cannot know when downlink communication from the wireless base station occurs, in order to monitor the communication data itself from the wireless base station or the presence / absence of transmission notification information, the wireless terminal does not communicate with the wireless base station. Must be received regularly. On the other hand, even when data communication is not performed when information from the radio base station is always received, it is necessary to receive control information from the radio base station. During reception, power required for the radio transceiver circuit unit of the radio terminal is received. It is necessary to supply.

  Wireless terminals are often driven by batteries or rechargeable batteries because of portability and ease of installation. When there is a limit to the power that can be supplied in this way, it takes labor to replace and charge the battery, so it is necessary to save power consumption of the wireless terminal.

  As means for solving this, intermittent operation has been proposed. In intermittent operation, control information (control message) is exchanged between the wireless base station and the wireless terminal at a predetermined timing, so that power is supplied to the wireless transceiver circuit unit of the wireless terminal only when necessary, otherwise Is a very small power supply or interrupts the power supply.

  In the conventional intermittent operation, intermittent parameters necessary for the intermittent operation are transmitted from the wireless base station to the wireless terminal using a wireless communication path in advance. The intermittent parameters include an intermittent offset value and an intermittent interval time. The intermittent offset value is an offset value from the reference absolute time (reference time), and is calculated by adding the intermittent interval time to the value obtained by adding the offset value from the absolute time. In this case, the synchronous timing in intermittent operation is obtained by the following equation.

“T = Tb + Of + TI × n (n = 0, 1, 2,...)”
However, Tb: reference time, Of: intermittent offset value (0 = <Of <TI), TI: intermittent interval time.

  If the intermittent interval increases, communication delay increases, but power consumption decreases. Conversely, if the intermittent interval is reduced, the communication delay is reduced but the power consumption is increased. Therefore, the intermittent interval is determined according to the use of the terminal (battery exchange interval, allowable communication delay range, etc.). In the wireless base station, from the viewpoint of effective use of a certain wireless communication path, the wireless communication path should be used as uniformly as possible to each wireless terminal so that communication of many wireless terminals is not concentrated at a specific timing. Need to control. Therefore, when the intermittent offset values of the wireless terminals under the wireless base station are assigned so as to have a uniform distribution, the wireless communication path can be most effectively used.

As an example in which the terminal operates intermittently, a two-way communication tag system of the prior art is disclosed (see Non-Patent Document 1). In this bi-directional communication tag system, the bi-directional communication tag performs intermittent communication that periodically repeats a time during which the wireless unit is activated (active) and a time during which it is stopped (sleep) for power saving. It is configured. This active period is composed of a plurality of fixed-length time slots, and the transmission timing is adjusted autonomously and distributedly based on a slot CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access). The time slot in which no transmission is performed is used as a reception slot for receiving information from other tags. Such a configuration enables mutual communication between a plurality of tags. Furthermore, the timing information of the “active period” is added to the data to be transmitted, and the radio unit activation of the tag is performed by performing readjustment of the synchronization with respect to the active period from the received data of a plurality of tags according to the specified priority. Timing synchronization is possible.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an example is shown in which the radio base station and the radio base station control device are independent. Of course, the radio base station and the radio base station control device are integrated. It may be.

  In the radio synchronization system shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the radio base station control apparatus receives a message addressed to a radio terminal, the radio base station control apparatus acquires an intermittent parameter from the database, Although an example of notifying the radio base station together with the message is shown, the present invention is not limited to this, and there may be a case where the radio base station receives the message addressed to the radio terminal and then accesses the database to acquire intermittent parameters. .

  In addition, there may be a case where the radio base station acquires the intermittent parameter using a message (for example, an authentication message) different from the message addressed to the radio terminal.

  Further, there may be a case where the radio base station generates a message addressed to the unique radio terminal without using the message transmitted from the radio base station control device. In this case, the radio base station accesses the database and acquires intermittent parameters.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating data transmission / reception timing between the radio base station and the radio terminal, timing for transmitting / receiving data between the radio base station and the radio terminal, and transition timing between the intermittent mode and the continuous mode. Is shown. The operation will be described below with reference to FIG. In the description of FIG. 3, the description duplicated with the description in FIG.

  The wireless terminal 101 stores the “terminal ID” of the terminal itself and “intermittent offset value Of”, “intermittent interval time TI”, and “continuous mode end timer timeout value Tc” as intermittent parameters in a memory 121 such as a ROM. . The intermittent offset value Of takes a value between 0 and the intermittent interval time TI.

  In addition, the intermittent offset value Of is desirably allocated uniformly between wireless terminals in order to shift the intermittent reception timing between wireless terminals. For example, a random value may be determined by a random number.

  The wireless terminal 101 has an intermittent mode (period of time t1 to t3) and a continuous mode (period of time t3 to t4) regarding transmission and reception with the wireless base station 201, and always operates in either mode. The continuous mode is a mode in which messages (broadcast information and the like) from the radio base station 201 are continuously received in all frames (time slots) such as TDMA frames and the operation is performed based on the messages.

  The intermittent mode is a mode in which a message (notification information or the like) is received from the radio base station 201 at every intermittent interval time TI and the operation is performed based on the message. The intermittent reception timing is obtained by adding a time obtained by multiplying the intermittent absolute time TI by an integer to a value obtained by adding an intermittent offset value Of to a reference absolute time (for example, time t0 of frame number 0 of the TDMA frame). To do.

  In this case, the intermittent reception timing T in the intermittent operation is obtained by the following equation as described above.

“T = Tb + Of + TI × n (n = 0, 1, 2,...)”,
However, Tb: reference time, Of: intermittent offset value (0 = <Of <I), TI: intermittent interval.

  The intermittent reception timing T is a timing indicated by times t1, t2, t3, t4, t5, and t6 in FIG.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the radio base station 201 transmits a message (calling or the like) A <b> 2 to the radio terminal 101 in accordance with the intermittent reception timing T (for example, time t <b> 3) of the radio terminal 101. The message A2 transmitted from the radio base station 201 to the radio terminal 101 is generated by the radio base station 201 when the radio base station 201 receives a control message (call request or the like) A1 from the radio base station controller 301. Message. In this case, the radio base station 201 calculates the intermittent reception timing t3 at the radio terminal 101 based on the intermittent parameter of the radio terminal 101 to be called, and sends the message A2 to the radio at the time t3. Transmit to the terminal 101.

  Further, the transition from the intermittent mode (time t1 to t3) to the continuous mode (time t3 to t4) is “call” or “downlink message addressed to own terminal” as in the control message A2 of the radio base station 201. Is performed, or when the wireless terminal 101 determines that “upstream message transmission” such as location registration or data communication is necessary.

  In addition, the transition from the continuous mode (time t3 to t4) to the intermittent mode (time t4 to) in the wireless terminal 101 is performed in the continuous mode end timer for each transmission / reception of messages B and C in the wireless terminal 101. This is a case where the value Tc is set and the continuous mode end timer times out after the continuous mode end timer timeout value Tc elapses. If the continuous mode end timer is already set when the continuous mode end timer is set, the count value of the previous continuous mode end timer is discarded, the new continuous mode end timer is reset, and counting is restarted from the beginning. . The counting period of the continuous mode end timer in the wireless terminal 101 is denoted by reference sign D1.

  The wireless base station 201 also performs an operation of determining that the wireless terminal 101 has shifted from the continuous mode (time t3 to t4) to the intermittent mode (time t4 to). For this purpose, the wireless base station 201 sets a continuous mode end timer for each transmission / reception of messages B and C with the wireless terminal 101, and after the continuous mode end timer timeout value Tc in the continuous mode end timer has elapsed, It is determined that the continuous mode in the wireless terminal 101 has ended. A counting period of the continuous mode end timer in the radio base station 201 is indicated by a symbol D2.

  The continuous mode end timer timeout value Tc is set in consideration of a trade-off between battery life and delay. If the continuous mode end timer timeout value Tc is set to be longer, when several messages are exchanged continuously, the message can be transmitted and received without shifting to the intermittent mode. The delay time of messages other than messages from the terminal to the radio base station can be reduced. On the other hand, in this case, since the continuous mode is unnecessarily continued after the message does not come continuously or after the last message of the continuous message is received, power is consumed and the battery life of the wireless terminal is shortened. The continuous mode end timer timeout value Tc may be set for each wireless terminal, but may be a constant value for the entire system.

  In addition, the intermittent interval time TI also affects the battery life and the message delay (from the radio base station to the radio base station). If the intermittent interval time TI is lengthened, it is necessary to wait for the intermittent interval time TI at the maximum in order to transmit and receive downlink data messages, calling, and downlink control messages such as base station information necessary for location registration. This means that it takes time until the data message is actually transmitted after the data transmission command is received at the radio base station, and the delay of the data message increases. However, if the intermittent interval time TI is long, the interval for supplying power to the transmission / reception unit of the wireless terminal becomes long, the power can be reduced, and the battery life of the wireless terminal becomes long.

  On the other hand, regarding the uplink data message, the wireless terminal can receive the data message, supply power to the wireless transmission / reception circuit unit without waiting for the next intermittent reception timing, and transmit it to the wireless base station.

  Next, the wireless base station controller notifies the wireless base station of the “intermittent parameter of the wireless terminal”, and the operation when the wireless base station adds the information of the wireless terminal to the wireless terminal information table in the base station is described. To do.

  As an example of this operation, “calling” and “authentication” are taken as examples of the situation in which the wireless base station connects to the wireless terminal.

  “Calling” is an operation of specifying a wireless base station with which a wireless terminal can communicate in order to transmit data to the wireless terminal. After the call, the process proceeds to a connection procedure between the wireless terminal and the wireless base station such as authentication, and then data is transmitted to the wireless terminal.

“Authentication” is a connection procedure in the case where the location information is notified to the database on the network or the data is transmitted from the wireless terminal when the wireless terminal moves beyond the calling area. This “authentication” is a procedure for confirming the validity of the wireless terminal when the wireless terminal is connected to the wireless base station, such as when transmitting data.
Note that the call and authentication are the first message transmitted from the radio base station to the radio terminal, so the radio base station controller transmits the intermittent parameter to the radio base station together with the first message (for example, authentication and call message). Then, the wireless base station stores the received intermittent parameter together with the terminal ID, so that the wireless base station control device can prevent the intermittent parameter from being transmitted to the wireless base station in a subsequent message.

  FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram showing an operation at the time of calling. The operation will be described below with reference to FIG.

  When calling the wireless terminal 101 through the wireless base station 201, the wireless base station control device 301 inquires of the database 401 and acquires intermittent parameters of the calling wireless terminal. In this case, first, as a message for the database 401 from the radio base station control apparatus 301, a “wireless terminal information search request” is transmitted together with information on “terminal ID” (step S101).

  When the database 401 receives a “wireless terminal information search request” from the wireless base station control device 301, the database 401 searches the wireless terminal information table 411 in the database based on the information of the terminal ID, and performs intermittent parameters (intermittent) of the wireless terminal 101. The interval time TI, the intermittent offset value Of, and the continuous mode end timer timeout value Tc) are extracted (step S102).

  Thereafter, the database 401 transmits a “wireless terminal information search response” including intermittent parameter information as a message to the wireless base station control device 301 (step S103).

  The radio base station control device 301 generates a call message (call request) together with the intermittent parameter included in the “wireless terminal information search response” received from the database 401, and transmits the call message to the radio base station 201 (step S104). The call message (call request) transmitted to the wireless base station 201 includes information on the “terminal ID” and “intermittent parameter” of the wireless terminal 101.

  Upon receiving the call message (call request) from the radio base station control device 301, the radio base station 201 searches the base station radio terminal information table 222 based on the “terminal ID” and stores it in the base station radio terminal information table 122. It is determined whether or not the “terminal ID” of the wireless terminal 101 is included (step S105).

  When the search is successful in step S105, that is, when it is determined that the “terminal ID” of the wireless terminal 101 is included in the base station wireless terminal information table 222 (step S105: Yes), the base station wireless terminal Information on intermittent parameters recorded in the information table 222 is used (step S106).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S105 that the “terminal ID” of the wireless terminal 101 is not included in the base station wireless terminal information table 222 (step S105: No), the intermittent parameter of the call message (call request) Based on the above, an entry is added to the wireless terminal information table 222 in the base station, and intermittent parameters are written (step S107).

  Subsequently, the wireless base station 201 calculates intermittent timing (transmission timing for the wireless terminal 101) based on the intermittent parameter in the in-base station wireless terminal information table 222 and generates a call message (call request) for the wireless terminal 101. (Step S108).

  The radio base station 201 transmits a call control message (call request) to the radio terminal 101 at the intermittent timing calculated in step S108 (step S109). This call control message (call request) includes information on the “terminal ID” of the wireless terminal to be called. In addition, after transmitting a call message (call request) to the wireless terminal 101, the wireless base station 201 transmits a call response from the wireless terminal 101 to the wireless base station control apparatus 301 (step S110).

  FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram showing an operation during authentication. Hereinafter, the operation will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the wireless terminal 101 moves in the calling area, a “terminal authentication request” is transmitted from the wireless terminal 101 to the wireless base station 201 (step S201). When receiving the “terminal authentication request” from the wireless terminal 101, the wireless base station 201 transmits an authentication message (terminal authentication request) of the wireless terminal 101 to the wireless base station control device 301 (step S202).

  When receiving the authentication message (terminal authentication request) from the wireless base station 201, the wireless base station control device 301 makes an inquiry to the database 401 and acquires the intermittent parameter of the wireless terminal 101 that has transmitted the authentication message. In this case, the wireless base station controller 301 transmits a “wireless terminal information search request” as a message to the database 401 together with the information of “terminal ID” (step S203).

  When the database 401 receives a “wireless terminal information search request” from the wireless base station control device 301, the database 401 searches the wireless terminal information table 411 in the database based on the information of the terminal ID, and performs intermittent parameters (intermittent) of the wireless terminal 101. The interval time TI, the intermittent offset value Of, and the continuous mode end timer timeout value Tc) are extracted (step S204).

  Then, a “wireless terminal information search response” including intermittent parameter information is transmitted from the database 401 to the wireless base station control device 301 (step S205).

  The radio base station control device 301 generates an authentication response message (terminal authentication response) based on the intermittent parameter included in the “wireless terminal information search response” received from the database 401, and transmits it to the radio base station 201 ( Step S206). The authentication response message (terminal authentication response) transmitted to the wireless base station 201 includes information on the “terminal ID” and “intermittent parameter” of the wireless terminal 101.

  Upon receiving the authentication response message (terminal authentication response) from the radio base station control apparatus 301, the radio base station 201 searches the base station radio terminal information table 222 based on the terminal ID, and stores it in the base station radio terminal information table 222. It is determined whether or not the “terminal ID” information of the wireless terminal 101 is included (step S207).

  If the search is successful in step S207, that is, if it is determined that the “terminal ID” of the wireless terminal 101 is included in the base station wireless terminal information table 222 (step S207: Yes), the base station wireless terminal Information on intermittent parameters recorded in the information table 222 is used (step S208). On the other hand, when it is determined in step S207 that the “terminal ID information” of the wireless terminal 101 is not included in the base station wireless terminal information table (step S207: No), an authentication response message (terminal authentication response) Is added to the wireless terminal information table 222 in the base station, and the intermittent parameter is written (step S209).

  Subsequently, the wireless base station 201 calculates an intermittent timing (transmission timing for the wireless terminal 101) based on the intermittent parameter in the in-base station wireless terminal information table 222, and an authentication response message (terminal authentication response) for the wireless terminal 101. Is generated (step S210).

  Subsequently, the wireless base station 201 transmits an authentication response message (terminal authentication response) to the wireless terminal 101 at the intermittent timing calculated based on the intermittent parameter to the wireless terminal 101 (step S211).

  FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram showing a downlink data message transmission method. As shown in FIG. 8, the radio base station control device 301 receives a message (data transmission) to the radio terminal 101 from another radio base station control device or the like (step S301). This message (data transmission) includes “terminal ID” and “data to be transmitted”.

  The radio base station control device 301 transmits the received data message (data transmission) to the radio base station 201 (step S302).

  When receiving a data message (data transmission) from the radio base station controller 301, the radio base station 201 searches the in-base station radio terminal information table 222 by the terminal ID, and acquires the intermittent parameter of the radio terminal 101. Further, the radio base station 201 calculates an intermittent timing (transmission timing for the radio terminal 101) for transmitting a data message (data transmission) based on the intermittent parameter of the radio terminal information table 222 in the base station, and a data message for the radio terminal 101. (Data transmission) is generated (step S303).

  Subsequently, the wireless base station 201 transmits a data message (data transmission) to the wireless terminal 101 based on the calculated intermittent timing (step S304).

  FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing a downlink control message transmission method. As shown in FIG. 9, the radio base station 201 receives a control message (xx request) signal for the radio terminal 101 from the radio base station controller 301 (step S401). The control message signal includes the “terminal ID” of the wireless terminal 101.

  When receiving a control message (xx request) signal from the radio base station control device 301, the radio base station 201 searches the base station radio terminal information table 222 by “terminal ID” and acquires the intermittent parameter of the radio terminal 101. To do. Also, the radio base station 201 calculates an intermittent timing (transmission timing for the radio terminal 101) for transmitting a control message (xx request) based on the intermittent parameters of the radio terminal 101 recorded in the radio terminal information table 222 in the base station. At the same time, a control message (xx request) to be transmitted to the wireless terminal 101 is generated (step S402).

  Subsequently, the radio base station 201 transmits a control message (xx request) to the radio terminal 101 based on the calculated intermittent timing (step S403).

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, in the wireless synchronization system of the present invention, intermittent parameters are centrally managed by a database on the wired network side, and the intermittent parameters are stored in the memory area (ROM, etc.) of the wireless terminal when the wireless terminal is shipped. Set to. As described above, in order to share intermittent parameters between the wireless terminal and the database, it is not essential to transmit / receive the intermittent parameters through the wireless communication path. Therefore, it can be effectively used without consuming radio band resources constituting the radio communication path. Since the radio band is a finite resource, it must be used as effectively as possible. If the amount of use per radio terminal is small, many radio terminals in the same radio band can be accommodated. In addition, since it is not essential to perform data communication after intermittent parameter transmission / reception during data communication, data communication delay is not impaired.

  Further, the intermittent offset value Of is randomly assigned at 0 (zero) or more and less than the intermittent interval time TI. Therefore, in a state where a sufficiently large number of terminals are connected to the radio base station, the intermittent timing approaches a uniform distribution, and the radio band can be effectively used without being biased toward a specific intermittent timing. That is, in a situation where a large number of wireless terminals having a low data communication frequency and a small communication amount are connected to the wireless base station, the intermittent timing is distributed more uniformly and the present invention works most effectively.

  In the above-described embodiment, the intermittent parameter recorded in the database is set as a default value, and the intermittent parameter is previously shared between the wireless base station and the wireless terminal that acquire the intermittent parameter via the database. Although described, it is not limited to this.

  For example, an intermittent parameter can be notified between a wireless base station and a wireless terminal, and a method of changing the intermittent parameter each time can be used together. If the intermittent parameter is not notified between the wireless base station and the wireless terminal, it is sufficient to use the default value of the database. Therefore, whether to notify the intermittent parameter can be determined according to the situation on the spot. That is, when intermittent timing concentrates at a specific timing in the wireless base station, it is also possible to notify only some wireless terminals to change the intermittent timing. However, when the wireless terminal moves and the connection state with the wireless base station connected so far is canceled, the wireless terminal needs to return the intermittent parameter to the default value of the database.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the wireless synchronization system of the present invention is not limited to the above-described illustrated examples, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Of course.
