Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to an apparatus and method for implementing handoff in a mobile communication system, and more particularly, to a novel apparatus and method for implementing handoff when a mobile station travels from a cell of the async mobile communication system to a cell of the sync mobile commumcation system.
- the async mobile communication system may be, for example, UMTS adopted as the European standards and the sync mobile communication system may be IMT-2000 adopted as the American standards. These two systems are becoming increasingly harmonized and there is thus a need for various technologies that are compatible with both systems. One of such technologies is related to handoff that may happen between the sync mobile communication system and the async mobile communication system.
- the handoff is a technology that enables users to continuously receive a call service without interruption when a mobile station travels from a present cell to an adjacent cell during the call service in a mobile communication system.
- the handoff is classified into soft hand off and hard hand off.
- the soft hand off the mobile station maintains a call using both a channel assigned by a target base station and a channel assigned by the present base station in service.
- the mobile station abandons one of the two channels, whose quality has a value lower than a threshold of the pilot strength.
- a channel assigned by the present base station in service is first released and then, connection to an adjacent base station is attempted.
- the mobile station usually acquires information about adjacent cells and informs the base station of the information when a pilot signal received from one of the adjacent cells has strength higher than a threshold or requested by the base station.
- the information sent to the base station is used as information about the handoff performed when the mobile station travels from a present cell to the adjacent cell during a call service.
- the base station transmits the information about the handoff through a paging channel (for the sync communication system) or a broadcasting channel (for the async communication system).
- a hard handoff takes place normally when the mobile station travels from a cell of the async mobile communication system to a cell of the sync mobile communication system.
- the mobile station interrupts a call service from the async mobile communication system while it acquires information about the adjacent cells.
- the mobile station has to perform the following procedure in order to interpret information about the sync mobile communication system.
- the mobile station interprets a sync signal message stored in the sync signal frame transferred from the sync channel of the sync mobile communication system.
- the transmission bit per 80 ms frame of the sync signal frame is 96 bits, and the sync signal message, including information the mobile station can communicate with the sync mobile communication system, has a length of 221 bits.
- the mobile station needs at least 240 ms (80 ms x 3) for interpreting the message.
- the above-mentioned specifications are included in the TIA/EIA-IS-
- a base station of the sync mobile communication system will be referred to as “sync base station” and a base station of the async mobile communication system will be called “async base station”.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a procedure for the mobile station in commumcation with a present async base station to acquire information about the adjacent sync base stations.
- the mobile station receives from an async base station a information search message about sync base stations adjacent to the async base station, in step 301. Then, the mobile station sets to detect information about the adjacent sync base stations in step 303, and detects pilot signals from the adjacent sync base stations in step 305. The mobile station determines in step 307 whether a pilot signal having a highest peak value is detected. Upon failure to detect such a pilot signal of highest peak value, the mobile station returns to step 305.
- the mobile station proceeds to step 309 to receive sync frames through the forward sync channel of the sync base station from which the pilot signal having the highest peak value has been detected.
- the mobile station has to receive at least three sync frames from the sync base station in order to receive all sync signal messages.
- the mobile station takes at least 240 ms in receiving the sync frames from the sync base station having a channel structure shown in Fig. 2 and, during the frame reception time, interrupts the communication with the async base station. Taking a long time in performing the procedure of Fig. 3 may therefore result in a detrimental effect such as a loss of data communicated between the async base station and the mobile station.
- the forward channel of the sync base station has a structure of Fig. 2.
- the forward channel includes a forward pilot channel 203 generating a pilot signal, a forward sync channel 204 generating a sync signal, a forward dedicated control channel 202 generating a dedicated channel control message, a forward dedicated fundamental channel 207 generating a voice signal, and a forward dedicated supplemental channel 208 generating packet data.
- the construction and operation of the individual channels are disclosed in detail, for example, in P1998-11381 previously issued by the inventor.
- Fig. 11 illustrates a handoff procedure according to prior art when the mobile station travels from a cell of the async base station to a cell of the sync base station shown in Fig. 2.
- step 1101 mobile station B receives from async base station A a message including information about another base stations adjacent to the async base station A through a broadcast channel (in the async communication system) or a paging channel (in the sync communication system).
- the mobile station measures the reception strengths of pilot signals transferred from the adjacent base stations and sends a message including the measurement results of the pilot signals to the async base station A through a reverse dedicated channel. Then, the async base station A analyzes the message on the reverse dedicated channel to determine whether there is a target async base station.
- the async base station A confirms the handoff; otherwise, it sets parameters T, T 0 and N for detecting the reception strength of the pilot signals from the adjacent sync base stations, where T 0 is a time to detect the pilot signal of a sync base station, T is a time interval for detecting the pilot signal of the sync base station, and N is a parameter defining the number of times for detecting the pilot signal of the sync base station.
- the mobile station B receives a direction message on a forward dedicated control channel to measure the reception strength of the pilot signals of the async and sync base stations adjacent to the async base station A, and a message including the parameters.
- the mobile station B measures the reception strengths of the pilot signals from the sync and async base stations adjacent to the async base station A based on the parameters T, T 0 and N.
- the mobile station B detects a pilot signal received from the individual sync base stations adjacent to the async base station A.
- the pilot signal enables the mobile station B to estimate the channels and rapidly acquire initial synchronization for new multiple paths.
- the mobile station B analyzes in step 1107 a sync message received from a sync base station such as sync base station C through a forward sync channel to recognize the sync base station C, and acquires system information about the sync base station C.
- the sync message includes system information necessary for communication with the sync base station C, such as system ID number, network ID number, PN OFFSET value, long code information 320msdlgndml, and paging channel data rate.
- the sync channel frame used in the IS-95 system is 80 ms in length with a data rate of 96 bits and comprises three sub frames having a length as long as one period of a short code.
- the sync message including the system information about the sync base station C has a length of more than 200 bits including a message length field and CRC(Cyclic Redundancy Check).
- the 80ms sync frame necessarily sends 96 bits by adding the surplus bits to the message.
- the mobile station B must receive at least three 80ms sync frames in order to receive all sync messages including the system information. Without errors in the sync messages, it takes at least 240 ms for the mobile station B to recognize the sync base station C and receive information of the sync base station C.
- the mobile station B sends a message, including the measurement results of the reception strength of the pilot signals received from the adjacent base stations and information about the sync message, to the async base station A through a reverse dedicated channel. Then, the async base station A analyzes the received message on the reverse dedicated channel and sends the measurement results to the upper network. The upper network determines the target sync base station C refer to the measurement results and sends to the async base station A a handoff indication message including information necessary for the handoff. In step 1105, the mobile station B receives the handoff direction message including information about traffic channels for communication with the target sync base station C, through the forward dedicated channel from the async base station A. Once receiving the handoff direction message, the mobile station
- the mobile station B prepares to receive traffic data from the sync base station C with reference to the traffic channel information included in the message.
- the mobile station B receives null traffic data or the like on a forward fundamental channel from the sync base station C to ensure stability of channels.
- the mobile station B receives in step 1109 a traffic message on the forward fundamental channel from the sync base station C while moving to a cell of the target sync base station C, thereby switching a call service from the async base station A to the sync base station C.
- the mobile station B sends a preamble on a reverse fundamental channel to inform that transmission is successful, in step 1110, and sends a handoff complete message on the reverse fundamental channel to the sync base station C, in step 1111.
- the mobile station B must receive at least three sync frames on the forward sync channel of the sync mobile communication system.
- a sync mobile communication system having the channel structure shown in Fig. 2 has the minimum reception time of 240 ms.
- the mobile station B interrupts communication with the async base station A. That is, taking a long time in performing the procedure of Fig. 3 results in a detrimental effect such as a loss of data communicated between the async base station and the mobile station.
- the apparatus and method uses a forward short sync channel generating a PN OFFSET signal in the sync mobile communication system.

- async base station A receives the measurement results of the pilot signals of the adjacent async base stations from a mobile station B, in step 701.
- the mobile station B measures the strengths of the pilot signals received from the async base stations adjacent to the async base station A and reports information about the async base station having a pilot signal higher than a threshold. Then, the async base station A determines in step 702 whether there exists a target for handoff async base station based on the measurement results received from the mobile station B.
- the async base station A sends to the mobile station B a handoff direction message including information necessary for handoff in step 703. Otherwise, the async base station A proceeds to step 704 to set parameters T, T 0 and N for detecting the pilot signals of the adjacent sync base stations. These parameters T, T 0 and N are illustrated in Fig.

- the measurement results of the pilot signals are divided into four types: (1) information about successful detection of another target async base station, (2) information about successful detection of the target sync base station, (3) information about successful detection of the target sync base station and another target async base station, and (4) information about failed detection Of the target base station.
- the information about successful detection of a sync base station is transmitted together with the system information of the sync base station C.
- the async base station A Upon receiving the measurement results of the pilot signals from the mobile station B, the async base station A determines in step 707 whether there exists a target cell for handoff. If there is no target cell, the async base station A returns to step 701 to repeat the above procedures. Otherwise, when the target cell is detected, the async base station A determines in step 708 whether the target cell is an async base station or a sync base station. That is, the async base station A must determine in step 708 whether the target cell detected is a sync base station or an async base station, since the mobile station measures pilot signals of both async base station and sync base station in step 704 of determining the parameters.
- the system parameters of the async base station A are used to determine which base station to hand off, and the system information of the async base station is used to determine which base station has the priority over the other.
- the async base station A sends to the mobile station B a handoff direction message necessary for handoff to the determined async base station. Otherwise, when the target cell is determined as a sync base station, the async base station A sends to the upper network the pilot signal strength and the PN OFFSET value or system information of the determined sync base station received from the mobile station B, in step 706.
- the async base station A receives from the upper network a handoff request message, requesting the mobile station to handoff to the sync mobile communication system.

- the sync base station A skips the step 704 and performs the step 707 immediately after the mobile station B travels to a cell of the async base station A.
- this embodiment advantageously shortens a time required for the async base station to cause handoff of the mobile station.
- Figs. 8 A and 8B illustrate a handoff procedure for the mobile station being in communication with the async base station in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the mobile station operates in a dual mode enabling communication with both the async base station and the sync base station.

- the mobile station finds another target async base station, it sends a message indicating that another target async base station has been found; otherwise, it sends a message indicating that another target async base station has not been found.
- the mobile station B determines in step 802 whether a request message has been received from the async base station A that requests to measure the pilot signals of base stations adjacent to the async base station A.
- Upon receiving a handoff direction message to the target cell of an async base station from the async base station A in step 703 of Fig.
- the mobile station B in response to the message requesting measurement of the pilot signals, performs handoff to the cell of the async base station A in step 803 and sends a preamble signal on the reverse link to the target cell of the async base station in step 804. Subsequently, the mobile station B sends a handoff complete message to the target cell of the async base station in step 805.
- the mobile station B receives the parameters for determining the pilot signals of the async and sync base stations adjacent to the async base station A, in step 806.
- the parameters are defined in Fig. 10.
- an excessively long time T 0 in detecting the pilot signal of the target sync base station results in instability in communication with the async base station; that an excessively long time interval T causes difficulty in detecting the pilot signals of the sync base station; and that a large parameter N results in an extremely long time for detecting a target base station (i.e., a target sync base station or a target async base station) and causes the mobile station to miss the time to perform handoff, leading to interruption of the call service.
- a target base station i.e., a target sync base station or a target async base station
- the mobile station B For time period To, the mobile station B detects the pilot signal strength of the sync base station N times, T time interval from step 807 to step 813. For time period T-To, the mobile station B detects the pilot signal strength of the async base station adjacent to the ssync base station A. while maintaining commumcation with the asyn base station A, in step 810.
- the pilot signal of eh sync base station can be detected in step 808 by two method. The one method directly detects the sync signal for time period To.
- the other method involves setting the value of time period To as small as possible to secure stability of the communication between the async base station and the mobile station, storing the siganls transferred from the sync base station in a buffer, and detecting the pilot signal of the sync base station for time period T-To form the signals stored in the buffer in an offline way.
- the mobile station B interprets the system information of the sync base station from the message of the sync channel or short sync channel of sync base station in step 808, the mobile station interpretates the system information of the sync base station from the message of the sync channel or short sync channel of the sync base station from the message of the sync channel or short sync channel of the sync base station in step 809.
- the mobile station B If the first method is used to directly detect the pilot signal for time period To in step 809, the mobile station B must maintain the channel with the sync base station for a time period long enough to acquire the system information of the sync base station and does not return to the channel with the async base station. If using the second method to detect the pilot signal of the sync base station from the signals stored in the buffer in step 809, the mobile station must maintain the channel with the sync base station for a time period long enough to acquired the system information of the sync base station during a second time period To after To storing the pilot signal of the sync base station.
- the mobile station B must receive the sync message transferred on the sync channel of the sync base station for at least 240 ms, in step 809.
- the stability of the communication between the mobile station and the async base station may not be secured in order to acquire information necessary for handoff in the mobile communication system having no short sync channel.
- the mobile station B receives in step 809 the PN OFFSET value of the sync base station transferred on the short sync channel within 26.6 ms.
- step 810 if no pilot signal is detected in time T 0 , the mobile station B detects the pilot signal strength of the async base stations adjacent to the async base station A and maintains communication with the async base station A for time period T-T 0 .
- the mobile station B determines in step 811 whether the measured strength of the pilot signal of the individual async base stations has a value requiring handoff. If such a pilot signal is detected, the mobile station B proceeds to step 813 in FIG. 8B; otherwise, the mobile station B goes to step 812. Upon failure in detecting both the pilot signal of the potential sync base station and the pilot signal of the potential async base station in steps 808 and 810, the mobile station B determines in step 812 whether the number of repetitions exceeds N. If the number of repetitions does not exceed N and neither the pilot signal of the sync base station nor the pilot signal of the async base station has been detected, the mobile station B returns to step 807 to repeat steps 808 to 810.
- the mobile station B sends the measurement results obtained until that time to the async base station in step 812.
- the mobile station B goes to step 813 just after step 809 when the pilot signal is detected in step 808 with the number of repetitions not exceeding N.

- the mobile station B After sending the measurement results of the pilot signal in step 813 of FIG. 8B, the mobile station B determines in step 814 whether a handoff direction message has been received from the async base station A. If the handoff direction message has been received, the mobile station B returns to step 802; otherwise, the mobile station B determines in step 815 whether the handoff direction message is a handoff message to a target sync base station or to a target async base station. When the handoff direction message received in step 814 is a handoff message to a target async base station, the mobile station B performs the steps 819 to 821, which are analogous to the steps 803 to 805 of Fig. 8 A.
- the mobile station B goes to step 816 to perform a handoff using the system information of the target sync base station included in the received handoff direction message. That is, the mobile station B moves to the target sync base station to receive traffic data on the forward fundamental channel from the sync base station and sends a preamble on the reverse fundamental channel to the sync base station, in step 817. Then, the mobile station B sends a handoff complete message through the reverse fundamental channel to the sync base station, in step 818.
- Fig. 9 illustrates a handoff procedure for the target sync base station in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention, in which it is assumed that the sync base station has the same channel structure as shown in Fig. 1.

- step 904 the sync base station C sends the traffic channel with the forward fundamental channel to the mobile station B immediately after the mobile station B moves to a cell of the sync base station C. Then, the sync base station C receives in step 905 the handoff complete message from the mobile station B to end the handoff.
- Fig. 12 illustrates a handoff procedure from a cell of the async base station A to a cell of the sync base station C in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention.
- the sync base station has the same channel structure as shown in Fig. 1.
- step 1201 mobile station B receives from the async base station A a message including information about another base stations adjacent to the async base station A through a broadcast channel or a paging channel.
- the mobile station B measures the reception strength of pilot signals transferred from the adjacent base stations and sends a message including the measurement results of the pilot signals to the async base station A through a reverse dedicated channel.
- the async base station A analyzes the message on the reverse dedicated channel to determine whether there is a target async base station.
- the async base station A confirms the handoff; otherwise, it sets parameters T, T 0 and N for detecting the reception strength of the pilot signals from the adjacent sync base stations.
- the mobile station B receives a direction message on the forward dedicated control channel to measure the reception strength of the pilot signals of the sync and async base stations adjacent to the async base station A, and a message including the parameters.
- T 0 is a time to detect the pilot signal of a sync base station
- T a time interval for detecting the pilot signal of the sync base station
- N a parameter defining the number of times for detecting the pilot signal of the sync base station.
- the mobile station B detects a pilot signal of the sync base station C having the highest peak value.
- the pilot signal enables the mobile station B to estimate the channels and rapidly acquire initial synchronization for new multiple paths.
- the mobile station B analyzes a short sync frame received on the forward short sync channel from the sync base station C to acquire the PN OFFSET value of the sync base station C. Then, the mobile station B sends a message on the reverse dedicated channel to the async base station A, the message including the PN OFFSET valueobtained in sep 1207 and the measurement results of the reception strength of the pilot signals from the adjacent base stations. Then, the async base station A reports to the upper network the message received on the reverse dedicated channel from the mobile station B. The upper network ensures the target sync base station C from the report and sends to the async base station A a handoff indication message including information necessary for the handoff.
- the handoff indication message includes the system information of the target sync base station C and information about the traffic channel for communication with the target base station C, since the mobile station has only the PN OFFSET value of the sync base station C received on the short sync channel. Then, if the async base station A received handoff indication message from upper network, the async base station A sends to the mobile station B the handoff direction message including information necessary for handoff in step 1205.
- the mobile station B receives the handoff direction message including information about traffic channels for communication with the target sync base station C and the system information of the sync base station C, through the forward dedicated channel from the async base station A.
- the mobile station B prepares to receive traffic data from the sync base station C with reference to the traffic channel information and the system information included in the message.
- the mobile station B receives null traffic data or others on a forward fundamental channel from the sync base station C to ensure stability of channels.
- the mobile station B receives in step 1209 a traffic message on the forward fundamental channel from the sync base station C while moving to a cell of the target sync base station C, thereby switching a call service from the async base station A to the sync base station C. Thereafter, the mobile station B sends a preamble on a reverse fundamental channel to inform that transmission is successful, in step 1210, and sends a handoff complete message on the reverse fundamental channel to the sync base station C, in step 1211.
- the difference between the related art method of Fig. 11 and the present invention of Fig. 12 is the way that the mobile station B acquires the system information of the async base station C.
- the mobile station B receives the sync signal frame of the sync base station C for at least 240 ms and interprets the sync signal message included in the sync signal frame. Unlike this method, in the present invention method, the mobile station B acquires only the PN OFFSET value of the sync base station C on a short sync channel and reports the received PN OFFSET value to the async base station A, which in turn sends the system information of the sync base station C stores therein or received from the upper network to the mobile station B. This method of the present invention reduces the time required for the mobile station to acquire the system sync information of the target sync base station, thereby securing stability in communication with the async base station.
- the present invention causes the base station in the sync mobile communication system to transmit the PN OFFSET value to the mobile station through a short sync channel and enables the mobile station to acquire information about the adjacent cells in a short time. Also, the present invention enables the mobile station presently in the async mobile communication system to perform a handoff to the sync mobile communication system simply using the PN OFFSET value acquired through the short sync channel. That is, the mobile station is enabled to acquire information about the cells adjacent to the async mobile communication system in a short time, thus shortening call interruption time between the async mobile communication system and the mobile station.
