Definitions
- This invention relates to radiotelephone communication systems in general and more particularly to the method and apparatus enabling local mobility for wireless local loop customers with minimum special network elements.
- PCS Personal communications service
- PCS Personal communications service
- a basic two service tier would include "local” service and “enhanced” service. Both provide complete wireless telephony for voice and low speed data, voice mail, and short message services.
- Local service is conventionally restricted to radio coverage provided in selected geographic subregions - public/private, indoor/outdoor - of a total PCS service area.
- This service is configured to provide "pedestrian" service to portables.
- Enhanced service conventionally includes the local service plus an additional "cellular-like" service to accommodate vehicle-borne portable units moving at moderate or high speeds.
- Enhanced service subscribers conventionally require dual mode portables.
- Full mobility for either service is desirable and would include inter-system handoff and local, regional, national, and international roaming among various interconnected systems using a standard intersystem protocol. Realizing such a wide area of mobility, however, necessitates the addition of expensive network elements to a conventional wireline telephone system.
- network elements are location registers, specially programmed telephone exchanges, and telephony signaling networks. It is desirable that automatic delivery of incoming calls be achieved regardless of the subscribers current location.
- the fixed Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) in the U.S. basically consists of a large number of telephone switching offices interconnected with one another by means of interoffice trunks. Connected to the telephone network is a very large number of customers, each of whom has a telephone set that is connected to one specific telephone switching office (end office) by a particular physical set of wires or their equivalent that go from the customer's telephone set to the end office.
- PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
- This number has a geographical significance in the sense that it is structured to have an area code which localizes it to a particular area of the country, an office code which localizes the number further to a particular end office switching system, and a line code which localizes it finally to a specific line appearance on that end office.
- the entire network is arranged so that whenever a particular line indicates a customer's request for service (an ON-HOOK to OFF-HOOK transition), the end office to which the line is connected recognizes who the customer is (for billing purposes), where the customer is, and what kind of services are authorized for the customer's particular line. This procedure is called "call origination".
- Dialled digits that are received from the line for a call are recognized by the end office as indicating a particular outgoing route based on the area code and office code combination.
- the call is routed step by step in this fashion through the network until it reaches the far end where the destination end office recognizes the dialled area code, office code, and line code combination as representing a local loop connected to it. This procedure is called "call routing”.
- the called line is then alerted (rung) and when the called party answers (OFF-HOOK) the final connection for the call can then be made. This procedure is called "call termination".
- every telephone has a line or a local loop that has a number which uniquely identifies it. It is conventional logic in the telephone network that every telephone stays fixed and attached to its particular line appearance and does not move around. A local loop, conventionally, does not provide for customer mobility.
- Cellular or mobile telephone service enables customers to have telephone sets (radiotelephones) that are not attached by wires to an end office. There is no office anywhere that has a line appearance that is recognized as being associated with the number of that radiotelephone. This means that most of the end user offices in the North American fixed telephone network are not able to deal with mobile telephones. The fixed end offices are not equipped for customers and telephone sets that are not attached to one specific fixed line appearance all of the time.
- MTSO mobile telephone switching offices
- the called radiotelephone's current recorded network location is determined to be the originating MTSO, then that MTSO must execute a call termination procedure that includes determining whether or not the radiotelephone is in service, establishing contact with the radiotelephone and assigning it to a radio channel, alerting the radiotelephone user and, if an answer is received, making the final connection.
- the radiotelephone's current recorded network location is not the originating MTSO, then the routing procedure must be extended to establish a connection with the current serving MTSO where the radiotelephone is located and that MTSO must execute the call termination procedure.

- the present invention is encompassed in a radiotelephone system which uses radio as a part of the connection in the local loop so that there is a location where the customer is "located" and a fixed line appearance is found on a particular conventional end office. That end office is oblivious to whether there is radio in the customer's local loop or not; it is just another line appearance to the end office and is treated as though the customer's telephone set were an ordinary wired telephone.
- Relatively short range radio communication is realized from one or more radio transceivers (radio port-RP) 101, 103.
- an RP is a digital radio transceiver having a relatively low power transmitter.
- RPs 101, 103 are placed at convenient locations where access to subscriber loop facilities of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) 105 are accessible.
- PSTN public switched telephone network
- Relatively short range radio communication (relative to for example, cellular radiotelephone communication range) is realized from the RP to a wireless fixed access units (WFAU) 107, 108 or portable radiotelephones
- a WFAU in the preferred embodiment is a customer station in which the radio portion is fixed mounted to the side of the house, for example, and the customer interface is an ordinary telephone.
- the term wireless fixed access for this equipment is appropriate because, although the customer station is wireless, its location is fixed.
- the term local loop is also appropriate because the end office side end of the radio link terminates an ordinary local loop line appearance. This form of the service is thus termed wireless fixed access local loop service. It is, as far as the end office is concerned, exactly the same as the service provided to wired telephones by that same office.
- the portable radiotelephone operates using the same air interface as the wireless fixed access unit.
- the portable 109 communicates with a radio port 103.
- a portable radiotelephone subscriber may wander amongst the aggregate radio port coverage areas forming that same wireless access network.
- the conventional end office is not aware that the customer is moving; it treats the customer's service as though it were a standard local loop service. All calls use the customer's local loop, all billing is done with respect to the local loop, and all features are controlled in the end office by means of the local loop and the feature table associated with that particular local loop. All aspects of the portable's mobility are dealt with by the elements of the access network.
- the local loop customer can go beyond his own home wireless access network where his local loop resides.
- the customer may travel, in the preferred embodiment, into the radio coverage area of a different wireless access network in the same metropolitan area, where "metropolitan area" consists of any set of end offices equipped with wireless access networks and defined as such by the provider of wireless local loop service.
- This different wireless access network may, alternatively, be attached to the same end office or to a different end office but within the same metropolitan area.
- the local loop calling rules still apply. All incoming and outgoing traffic to and from that customer must still use the local loop of the customer's home wireless access network. That is, when the customer is to receive an incoming call when not in the home access network, the call is routed by the PSTN to the local loop of the customer's home access network.
- the home access network must have a record of where the customer is currently located and be capable of extending the call to this different access network.
- that access network recognizes that the customer's local loop is not present there and must be capable of extending the call back to the customer's home access network where the customer's local loop resides.
- each access network utilizes a number of trunks that connect it to an ordinary end office. That group of trunks is associated with an access network telephone number so that whenever that telephone number is dialed in the PSTN, a call will be routed to the access network via that trunk group.
- the wireless local loop customers move around within different coverage areas, their radiotelephone units are listening to the control channels in the access network they are in. Information on those control channels identify the access network and the system so that the customer portable radiotelephone knows whether it is in its home access network or some other access network.
- the customer's portable radiotelephone Whenever it finds itself in a different access network, it will according to the specifications of the Air Interface standard, access that network and perform a registration in which it identifies itself to the serving network. As a part of that registration, the customer's portable radiotelephone provides the telephone number of its home access network. As will be described in the following text, the portable radiotelephone will have acquired the telephone number of its home access network the last time it registered there.
- the home access network whenever any subscriber registers, knows whether that subscriber is a home customer of that network or not because a home customer will have an entry in the subscriber file in that access network.
- the home access network will download its access telephone number to the customer portable radiotelephone unit and every time the customer portable radiotelephone unit registers, at home or somewhere else, it will identify its home access network number.
- the portable registers in a foreign access network coverage area it identifies to that network the access number of its home access network.
- the foreign network places a call via the PSTN to that number and, when the two access networks are in communications, they will communicate by means of digital messages.
- the presence of a customer in the foreign access network area will be provided to its home access network along with the access number of the foreign access network.
- the home access network uses the number of the foreign network to extend the call through the PSTN to the foreign access network.
- the foreign access network can then perform the call termination operation and connect the call to the customer when the customer answers on a particular radio channel.
- that access network will know that it should use the telephone number of the customer's home access network to extend the call back through the PSTN to that network to gain access to the customer's local loop.
- every call the customer makes or receives still uses his local loop as is required by local loop service.
- the radio transceivers useful for a WFAU or a portable radiotelephone are digital transceivers having a relatively low power transmitter.
- the frequencies of operation are typically in the range of 1.8 GHz to 2.0 GHz and are reciprocal to those employed by the serving RP.
- frequency selection should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention and it should be noted that, while the preferred embodiment utilizes a digital transceiver for the over-the-air link, an analog transceiver may be employed without affecting the scope of the present invention.
- various forms of digital modulation and transmission for example, code division multiple access or time division multiple access may be utilized without affecting the scope of the present invention.
- Control of the operation of the WFAU or portable radiotelephone is conventionally exercised by a microprocessor-based controller.
- This controller has the capability of interfacing with the customer via a keypad, display, and other interactive ports.
- the controller is also coupled to the radio transmitter/receiver portions to receive and transmit system overhead information as well as process telephone calls to and from the customer.
- Conventional internal memory elements are coupled to the microprocessor to hold the transceiver operations program, subscriber unit identification, and a home area access number useful in mobility.
- the service provided in the preferred embodiment can be characterized as metropolitan cordless local loop service (MCLL). Since it is desirable to provide MCLL service at low cost, dual mode subscriber equipment and expensive infrastructure network elements for providing regional or national roaming are avoided.
- MCLL metropolitan cordless local loop service
- MCLL service is provided by wireless access networks employing radio technology at the subscriber end of the local loop to achieve infrastructure costs lower than those of normal wired access, metallic or fiber.
- the wireless local loop (WLL) service is virtually identical to that of any other customer with wired service from the same telephone exchange.
- Each WLL subscriber (WFAU 107, WFAU 108, portable 109, and portable 110) has a permanent line appearance on the PSTN local exchange. All incoming calls to a particular subscriber are first delivered by the PSTN to the customer's primary wireless access network 111, 113, and all outgoing calls are delivered from the primary wireless access network to the PSTN 105 via the customer's dedicated line appearance. All basic and supplementary telephone services and the billing for them are provided by the local exchange of the PSTN where the customer's line appearance resides.
- a subscriber using a portable 109 can expect to obtain full service mobility beyond the local access network served from RP 101 and RP 104, and throughout all of the other access networks deployed within the local metropolitan service area of the customer's telephone carrier. Furthermore, operator assisted credit card calling permits outgoing calls to be made by a customer using a portable in an area where full service mobility is not available, that is, other metropolitan areas. Calls to emergency services are made without formal validation from any point where compatible radio coverage exists.
- a Wireless Local Loop Service (WLL) is used for loop rehabilitation or for serving new "wireline" subscribers where economics are favorable. Wireless access for WLL may be provided by any Air Interface with appropriate cost/performance attributes.
- WACS Wireless Access Communications Systems
- Methodologies are included for effective encrypted authentication and radio link encipherment for security and voice/data privacy, respectively.
- the basic WLL service itself appears nearly identical to that of any other customer with wired service from the same local exchange.
- a Local Exchange (LEX) 201 interfaces to a Wireless Access Network 200 that employs radio technology at the subscriber end of the local loop to achieve infrastructure costs lower than those of normal "wired" access, metallic or fiber.
- LX Local Exchange
- These infrastructure cost savings ⁇ along with rapid deployment of basic telephone service ⁇ are benefits realized by the WLL of the present invention. It is a feature of the present invention that no special requirements are placed on the selected LEXs.
- Expensive telephony signaling networks such as SS#7, or special "mobility-related" elements, such as Home Location Registers (HLRs), Visitor Location Registers (VLRs), Service Control Points (SCPs), etc., are not required to realize a system employing the present invention. It is an important feature of the present invention that each WLL subscriber have a dedicated line appearance, physical or virtual, on the LEX. All incoming calls are first delivered by the PSTN to the WLL customer's home Wireless Access Network 200, and all outgoing calls are delivered from the customer's home Wireless Access Network 200 to the PSTN, via this line appearance. All basic telephone services, most supplementary services, etc., and the billing for them are provided by the LEX 201 where the subscriber's line appearance resides.
- HLRs Home Location Registers
- VLRs Visitor Location Registers
- SCPs Service Control Points
- Mobility is not the primary consideration for the system, being subordinate to minimal cost. Nevertheless, considerable mobility is made available to MCLL customers with virtually no corresponding increase in the cost of the infrastructure.
- Access Networks have all of the capabilities necessary to support the wide area mobility of the local and enhanced services, once the additional infrastructure elements are added, and can serve as part of the initial radio coverage deployment for such services.
- Each wireless local loop customer requires one dedicated line appearance on a local switching office (local exchange). In many instances, these will be physical appearances in the form of analog lines 202. Such analog lines require the use of a Central Office Terminal (COT) 203.
- COT Central Office Terminal
- Digital carrier facilities (Tl or El) 204, 218 are used to connect a Radio Port Control Unit (RPCU) 205 to the LEX 201.
- RPCU Radio Port Control Unit
- the format of this digital signal conforms to one of the major standards for Digital Subscriber Loop transport (for example, but without limitation, TR-TSY-000303 "Integrated Digital Loop Carrier System Generic Requirements, Objectives and Interface", Issue 1, September, 1986, plus Revision 1, December 1987; Revision 2, July, 1989; Revision 3, March, 1990; Supplement 2, October, 1989 and Supplement 3, March, 1990, Bellcore.).
- a group of trunks 206, 213 is referred to by a single telephone access number, which is used to establish connections between different Local Access and Mobility Manager (LAMM) serving areas for MCLL service and/or for handoffs.
- LAMM Local Access and Mobility Manager
- Preferred transmission technology is one of the common forms of multiplexed digital carrier systems (Tl or El).
- Digital Subscriber Loop transmission facilities 208 consist of one dedicated digital subscriber loop carrier system per RF carrier equipped at a Radio Port. Preferred transmission technology is a form of High-speed Digital Subscriber Loop (HDSL) compatible with one of the common multiplexed digital carrier systems (Tl or El).
- HDSL High-speed Digital Subscriber Loop
- Normal, inter- exchange trunk facilities connections 210 to the PSTN 212 consist of whatever facilities may exist in the local exchange network, however, one of the common forms of multiplexed digital carrier systems (Tl or El) is preferred.

- the Radio Port Control Unit (RPCU) 205 provides interfaces to a number of Radio Ports via the Digital Subscriber Loop transmission facilities 208 and provides all logic necessary to support the Air Interface. This includes transcoding between the PCM of the local digital network and the voice coding scheme of the relevant Air Interface physical channel structure, and multiplexing/de-multiplexing of the Air Interface signaling protocol.
- the RPCU 205 contains a small Time Slot Interchanger (TSI) to interconnect any time slot in the digital carrier facilities 204 with another in the Digital Subscriber Loop transmission facilities 208 representing the radio link dynamically assigned at access time.
- TSI also facilitates handoff, when appropriate, among the group of radio coverage areas connected to the RPCU 205.
- LAMM Local Access and Mobility Manager

It provides the logic to control the alerting, access, authentication and encryption processes on the Air Interface, to correlate the Subscriber Terminal Identity with the appropriate subscriber line appearance and to manage all interconnections via the TSIs in the RPCU 205, 216. It also participates in inter-RPCU handoff and in re-connect on loss of signal.

- Registration is the process by which the WLL network lists a portable radiotelephone or WFAU as being present at a particular location within the network. It involves an Air Interface transaction between the subscriber unit and the serving Wireless Access Network at which time the subscriber unit's identity is authenticated and an alerting identity is assigned.
- the serving LAMM must make an entry in its data structure to store the subscriber unit identity, the authentication identity and the alerting identity.
- the serving LAMM must also conduct a transaction with the LAMM in the subscriber unit's primary Access Network to verify the subscriber unit's identity, update location for call delivery purposes and establish Service Qualification in anticipation of service requests. Strictly speaking, registration only occurs when the subscriber unit selects a Radio Port that is transmitting a System Id or an Alerting Area Id that is different from that of the subscriber unit's last registration.
- De-registration is the process by which the WLL network's listing of a subscriber unit's presence at a particular location within the network is canceled.
- the subscriber unit's entry in the visited LAMM's data structure is erased and the home LAMM's notation of current location is cleared or over-written.
- De-registration may occur as the result of a new registration by the subscriber unit in a different Access Network or as the result of a visited LAMM's internal auditing process establishing, for example, an extended period of inactivity. In this case, it should not be necessary to notify the subscriber unit's home LAMM of the visited LAMM's decision unless a service request or other message is received from the home LAMM.
- Sign-in/sign-out is the process by which the WLL network keeps track of the current operating status ⁇ in- service or out-of-service — of a subscriber unit. This process also involves Air Interface transactions between the subscriber unit and the serving Wireless Access Network. Registration clearly implies sign-in — the subscriber unit must be in-service to conduct the transaction.
- Sign-in is a re-registration which requires the assignment of a new alerting identity but does not require a transaction with the home LAMM. Sign-in, strictly speaking, only occurs when the subscriber unit powers up and selects a serving Radio Port at which the System Broadcast Channel carries the same System Id and the same Alert Area Id for which the subscriber unit last registered.
- Air Interface "message” is used for all of the above operations with a parameter indicating the particular usage, e.g., 0 Sign-out.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the registration process in the home Access Network.
- the participating network hardware includes a subscriber unit (303), which is most probably a portable radiotelephone such as portable radiotelephone 109 but can also be a WFAU, a Radio Port (RP) and a Radio Port
- RPCU Remote Access and Mobility Manager
- LAMM Local Access and Mobility Manager
- the subscriber unit (SU) 303 uses a digital correlation process to acquire frame sync with a "marked idle" time slot on a radio channel transmitted from a serving Radio Port (RP)
- the subscriber unit (SU) 303 then transmits a Terminal Registration Access (TERM REG ACC) message 305 to the RPCU RP 307 on a selected radio traffic channel.
- This message contains the REGISTRATION TYPE parameter (set to 1) and the HOME AREA ACCESS NUMBER (null if the subscriber unit has never before registered in its home area).
- the RPCU RP 307 relays the subscriber unit's request to the LAMM 309 via a TERM REG REQ message 311.
- the LAMM 309 recognizes the SU 303 as a customer of the local Access Network because the LAMM has an entry in its PSIS. It authenticates the subscriber unit's identity, assigns an Alert Phase and an Alert Id, updates the alerting information and clears the Remote Access Number in the PSIS entry and sends a Terminal Registration Acknowledge (TERM_REG_ACK) message 313 to the subscriber unit. It is a feature of the present invention that this message contains the alerting information and the LAMM's local network access number (whether or not the subscriber unit sent in the right number with its Registration Request). The subscriber unit updates its relevant internal memory and sends a Release Complete (REL_COM) message 315 to the RPCU/RP 307, releasing the radio link.
- REL_COM Release Complete
- This procedure is identical for a sign-in registration except that in the first step, the REGISTRATION TYPE parameter is set to 2 instead of 1.
- the REGISTRATION TYPE parameter in the first step is set to 0 instead of 1 and the LAMM 309 clears the Alert Phase and Alert Id fields, indicating an out-of-service condition.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the process of registration in a foreign or "visited” Access Network.
- the subscriber unit 303 uses a digital correlation process to acquire frame sync with a "marked idle” time slot and then transmits a Terminal Registration Access (TERM REG ACC) message 403 (including the telephone access number of the SU 303 home network which was originally supplied to the SU 303 upon its registration in its home Access Network) to the LAMM/RPCU/RP 405 on the selected traffic channel.
- TAM REG ACC Terminal Registration Access
- RP Radio Port
- RPCU Radio Port Control Unit
- LAMM Local Access and Mobility Manager
- the LAMM does not find an entry for the subscriber unit 303 in its PSIS and, therefore, creates an entry in the TSIS. It assigns an ALERT PHASE and an ALERT ID and stores the subscriber unit's HOME AREA ACCESS NUMBER. Also, since the LAMM does not manage the subscriber unit's home Access Network, it does not provide the subscriber unit 303 with its local access number in the TERM REG ACK message 407.
- the SU 303 transmits a Release Complete (REL COM) message 410 to the LAMM/RPCU/RP 405, reacquires the System Broadcast Channel and begins monitoring the Alerting Channel multiplexed thereon.
- REL COM Release Complete
- the LAMM/RPCU/RP 405 in the visited Access Network instructs its RPCU to perform an OUTCALL transaction 412 with the local visited LEX/COT 408 via an access trunk (using the HOME AREA ACCESS NUMBER supplied by the subscriber unit 303 with the TERM REG ACC message 403) and to establish a connection for a data transaction with the LAMM/RPCU/RP 409 in the home Access Network.
- the access trunk using the HOME AREA ACCESS NUMBER supplied by the subscriber unit 303 with the TERM REG ACC message 403
- PSTN 411 establishes a connection with the LEX/COT 413 in the home Access Network.
- the LEX/COT 413 initiates an INCALL procedure 415 in which the LAMM/RPCU/RP 409 is informed of the incoming call and a connection is established for a data transaction with the
- the LAMM/RPCU/RP 409 transmits a CLEAR_TO_SEND message 417 to the LAMM/RPCU/RP 405.
- the LAMM/RPCU/RP 405 transmits a Registration Notification message (REGNOT) 419 to the
- LAMM/RPCU/RP 409 containing the Subscriber Unit Id, the Authentication Id and the Access Number of the visited Access Network.
- the LAMM/RPCU/RP 409 finds the subscriber unit's entry in the PSIS, authenticates the identity, clears the alerting information and records the REMOTE
- AREA ACCESS NUMBER It then sends a Registration Acknowledgment (REGACK) message 421 to the LAMM/RPCU/RP 405 indicating that the subscriber unit is authorized for access.
- the LAMM/RPCU/RP 405 sends a RELEASE message 423 to the LEX/COT 408 which indicates CLEAR FORWARD to the PSTN and the PSTN clears the call path.
- the procedure described above is identical for a sign-in registration except that in the first step, the REGISTRATION TYPE parameter is set to 2 instead of 1 and in the second step the LAMM/RPCU/RP 409 finds the subscriber unit's entry in the TSIS, assigns a new ALERT PHASE and ALERT ID and transmits the TERM REG ACK message 407. The remaining steps after the REL COM message 410 are not executed.
- the REGISTRATION TYPE parameter in the first step is set to 0 instead of 1 and in the second step the LAMM/RPCU/RP 409 finds the subscriber unit's entry in the TSIS and clears the Alert Phase and Alert Id fields, indicating an out-of-service condition. The sign-out is acknowledged and the remaining steps are not executed.
- the LAMM will still send a TERM_REG_ACK message to the subscriber unit but with a "dummy" Alert Phase and Alert Id and without the local access number.
- the LAMM will make no record of the registration, however. This subscriber unit will be unable to receive any incoming calls and any call origination attempts will be routed to an operator for credit card treatment.
- FIG. 5 shows the procedure for call origination by a subscriber unit in its home Access Network and assumes post-access dialing.
- the customer lifts the telephone handset (or indicates "OFF-HOOK") and the SU 303 uses a digital correlation process to acquire frame sync with a "marked idle” time slot and then transmits a Call Request Access (CALL REQ ACC) message 503 to the LAMM/RPCU/RP 409 on the selected traffic channel.
- the called party number field contains no dialed digits.
- the LAMM/RPCU/RP 409 initiates an OUTCALL procedure 505 in which "OFF-HOOK" is indicated to the LEX/COT 413 for the customer's dedicated line appearance.

- the LEX/COT 413 When the PSTN 411 delivers an incoming call to the LEX/COT 413, the LEX/COT 413 initiates an INCALL procedure 603, via the dedicated line appearance of the WLL customer, in which the LAMM/RPCU/RP 409 is informed of the incoming call and the LINE ID, and a connection is established to its RPCU.
- the LAMM RPCU/RP 409 finds the customer's entry in the PSIS, determines that the subscriber unit is currently in-service and resident in the local Access Network and transmits an ALERT message 605, which initiates the alerting process using the subscriber unit's current Alert Area, Alert Phase and Alert Id.
- the subscriber unit When the subscriber unit receives the alert, it uses a digital correlation process to acquire frame sync with a "marked idle" time slot and then transmits an ALERT_ACK_ACC message 607 to the LAMM/RPCU/RP 409 on the selected traffic channel. Upon receiving the ALERT_ACK-ACC message 607, the LAMM/RPCU/RP 409 sends an INCOMING_CALL message
