Definitions
- the field of the invention is mobile phone networks.
- a mobile phone carrier is given about 800 frequencies by the FCC with which to operate their network. Because each phone call made over the mobile phone network requires two frequencies, a simple view of an analog mobile network is that only 400 phone calls can be made at a time.
- carriers split geographic areas into cells which are equivalent in area to about 10 square miles. Each cell has a cell tower or transmitter approximately in the middle of the cell which communicates with mobile phones located substantially within the cell. By limiting the range of cell towers (and phones), frequency re-use is accomplished in non-adjacent cells. Still, the number of calls that can be made over a traditional cell network is relatively low.
- TDMA time division multiple access
- RF radio frequency
- CDMA code division multiple access
- CDMA code division multiple access
- CDMA is a spread spectrum technology that allows multiple frequencies to be used simultaneously by coding digital packets with a unique code. This is accomplished by overlaying multiple calls on each other with each packet assigned a unique sequence code.
- CDMA is characterized by small cell radius, a relatively efficient use of bandwidth, and a relatively high transmission quality, the cost of a CDMA cell tower is purported to be $300,000 - up to four times as much as a TDMA tower.
- a further persisting problem is latency, which is particular bothersome with relation to applications that require prompt transmission of data (e.g. streaming video).
- GPRS general packet radio service
- GSM Global System for Mobile communications
- 3G third generation technologies
- the present subject matter is directed toward systems and methods in which a mobile phone is programmed to receive a first radio communication addressed to the mobile phone, receive a second radio communication addressed to a second mobile phone, and route the second radio communication to the second mobile phone via a third mobile phone.
- the mobile phone is able to receive the first and second communications simultaneously.
- Another aspect includes a mobile phone programmed to auto-configure a network address using a geographic location of the mobile phone.
- the mobile phone is also programmed to receive an additional auto-configured network address of a second mobile phone, select an information-centric routing protocol based at least in part on variables including the network address of the mobile phone and the network address of the second mobile phone.
- the phone routes a communication to the second mobile phone via a third mobile phone and in accordance with the information-centric routing protocol.
- the present subject matter is also directed to a mobile telematics device and a network node that are interoperable within a telematics network to route a radio communication in accordance with an information-centric routing protocol.
- Yet a further aspect of the inventive subject matter includes a method of operating a telematics network in which a network address is auto-configured using a geographic location of a mobile telematics device. An additional auto-configured network address is received and an information-centric routing protocol is derived based at least in part on variables including the network addresses. A communication is routed to a mobile device via another mobile device and in accordance with the information-centric routing protocol.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic of an embodiment of a mobile phone.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic of a prior art mobile network.
- Fig. 3 is a schematic of an embodiment of a mobile network.
- Fig. 4 is a block diagram of a method of operating a telematics network. Detailed Description
- a mobile phone 110 is programmed to receive a first radio communication 120 addressed to the mobile phone 110 and to also receive a second radio communication 130 addressed to a second mobile phone 150.
- the mobile phone 110 is further programmed to route the second radio communication 130 to the second mobile phone 150 via a third mobile phone 140.
- a mobile phone 110 is generally a device with a handheld portion for engaging in a phone conversation.
- a mobile phone 110 has the usual functions of known mobile phones (e.g. wireless receiving and transmitting of radio signals, storing data, and displaying call related information) as well as additional functionality that enables the phone 110 to receive and forward communications addressed to another device.
- a mobile phone 110 may be further programmed to simultaneously receive multiple communications including communications addressed to the mobile phone 110 and communications addressed to other devices such as the second mobile phone 150. With regard to simultaneous receipt, it is contemplated that a person may be engaging in a conversation using the mobile phone 110 while receiving and forwarding communications addressed to another phone. It is also contemplated that a mobile phone 110 may be programmed to route the second communication 130 directly to a third mobile phone 140, that is, without sending the communication to a controlling entity such as an MTSO (mobile telephone switching office).
- MTSO mobile telephone switching office
- a mobile phone 110 may be further programmed to determine its own geographic location. Self-location may be achieved using a variety of known methods such as GPS, Radio Frequency Telemetry Tracking, and inter-node spatial relationship. Other less complex methods may even include a user of the mobile phone inputting his location directly into the phone based on a street address, a known monument, and so on. At any rate, location information 125 is received by a mobile phone 110. Location information may include information on locations of other mobile devices as well as the mobile phone 110. It is contemplated that a mobile phone 110 may receive location information directly from a mobile device or from a network node (not shown) or even from both a mobile device and a network node.
- a mobile phone 110 may be programmed to derive an information-centric routing protocol for routing a second communication 130 to the second mobile phone 150.
- An information-centric routing protocol 115 is generally a set of instructions for calculating a route or path for data from the mobile phone 110 to the second mobile phone 150.
- An information-centric routing protocol 115 may take into account any of the following routing parameters when establishing a routing pathway:
- distances e.g. distance between originating node and destination node
- radio frequency/protocol e.g. 3G, 802.1 la, and so on
- a mobile phone 110 routes the second communication 130 to a third mobile device 140 which is a hop along a path to the addressee phone, the second mobile phone 150.
- a second communication 130 may comprise content data (e.g. audio data representative of a phone call, an advertisement, an e-mail), Meta data, and functional data (e.g. data that may provide additional functionality).
- An information-centric routing protocol 115 generally calculates a path which may encompass various manners of communication including wired and wireless technologies, usually depending upon what is most efficient. For example, if a distance between a mobile phone 110 and a second mobile phone 150 is 100 miles, it may be more efficient to route the call at least partially using a wired path. Of course, many of the above recited parameters may be included in such a determination. If a distance between communicating mobile devices is relatively short, an added benefit is the existence of additional alternative RF protocols such as blue tooth and 802.11.
- a routing protocol 115 that includes multiple hops.
- the first hop may utilize an 802.1 la technology
- a second hop may utilize an HTTP protocol (i.e. it may traverse the Internet)
- a third hop may utilize a TDMA technology
- a fourth hop may utilize a blue tooth technology.
- An additional aspect is dynamic routing - routing may be subject to change anywhere along a route as routing parameters change.
- Fig. 2 depicts a prior art mobile cellular system 200 which generally includes a calling device 210, a receiving device 220, a calling cell tower 230, a receiving cell tower 240, and an MTSO 250.
- a calling device 210 When a calling device 210 initiates a call over a cell phone network, the calling device 210 communicates with the calling cell tower 230 along call path 215. The call then follows a path 235 to the MTSO 250.
- the MTSO 250 having information on the location of the receiving device 220, forwards the call to the receiving cell tower 240 over channel 245, which in turn communicates with the receiving phone 220 over channel 225.
- the call may be disconnected or never connected. Additionally, communication channels to and from the MTSO 250 may be bottlenecked during high traffic periods.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a telematics network 300 generally comprising a mobile telematics device 310, a second mobile device 320, a third mobile device 330, a network node 340, and satellites 350.
- the telematics network exemplified by Fig. 3 accomplishes transmission of a communication from one wireless device to another - without use of a stationary cell tower. Instead, the telematics network 300 uses mobile devices to communicate with other mobile devices in a point to point to point or chaining sequence.
- a mobile device may effectively operate as a server, a client, and a router supporting the ability to receive and transfer data to another device without being directly involved in the communication as either the client or server. It is important to note that various configurations other than the described configurations are also contemplated, and particularly include configurations in which cell towers are utilized.
- a mobile telematics device 310 is generally programmed and equipped with functionality of a typical mobile phone (e.g. to engage in a phone conversation, and to store and recall phone numbers) and a typical computer (e.g. to run application software, perform voice recognition and voice synthesis, and to run video conferencing applications) and may therefore comprise permanent and transient storage components, a transceiver for receiving and sending radio signals, and a display screen (e.g. LCD).
- a mobile telematics device 310 is preferably inter-operable with the Internet and therefore is capable of receiving, sending, and displaying Internet compatible files such as an HTML encoded document.
- a mobile telematics device is able to be used to engage in e-commerce and to self locate or determine its own geographic location. It is important to note that a mobile telematics device may be an enhanced mobile phone, PDA, etc.
- a preferred mobile telematics device 310 is programmed to receive a first radio communication (not shown) addressed to the telematics device 310 and to receive a second radio communication (not shown) addressed to another mobile device 320. In a particularly preferred class of embodiments, receipt of the two communications may occur simultaneously. It is a further function of a mobile telematics device 310 to route the second radio communication to a third mobile device 330 in accordance with an information-centric routing protocol and such routing be direct without interaction with the network node 340.
- Mobile generally means operable and transportable at the same time.
- a mobile telematics device is typically a wireless device that runs on a battery.
- a mobile telematics device resides in an automobile and uses a primary or alternate battery of the automobile which enables sufficient power to broadcast relatively long distances.
- a power regulating device may also be employed when appropriate to limit power.
- Mobile telematics device 310 generally self locates by communicating with a satellite system 350, and dynamic addressing of remote devices is typically based on the location. Self-location may be done though any known method such as GPS, radio frequency telemetry tracking, and inter-node spatial relationships. Second mobile device 320 generally also has the ability to self locate based on communication with the satellite system 350. Thus, mobile devices generally will comprise a GPS receiver.
- a network node 340 may be programmed to receive a first location and a second location of the mobile telmatics device 310 and the second mobile device 320, respectively. It should be recognized that a network node is different from an MTSO in that a network node does not receive communications addressed to a mobile device, and a network node is not needed at all in some embodiments.
- the network node 340 may be further programmed to auto-configure a first network address and a second network address for the mobile telematics device and the second mobile device, respectively.
- Such auto-configured address maybe in the form of an IP address, but establishment of an LP address should not be construed as a limitation.
- Selection of an information-centric routing protocol is based at least in part on variables including the first network address and the second network address.
- variables including the first network address and the second network address.
- a routing protocol typically will involve a plurality of factors and the resulting protocol may be subject to rapid and frequent changes due primarily to changes in availability of devices and communication channels.
- a particularly contemplated embodiment includes a mobile telematics device 310 that is programmed to simultaneously receive a first radio communication and receive a second radio communication addressed to another device. Accordingly, the mobile telematics device 310 may be empowered with the capability to route a second radio communication via a third mobile device 330 while receiving data addressed directly to the mobile telematics device 310. With relation to a second radio communication, it is preferred that such communication is broadcast using radio waves having a frequency within at least one of an FM band, an AM band, a Television band, a cellular band, a PCS band, and SMR band, a satellite band, and an unrestricted band. Of course, depending on the band, the type of content (e.g.
- Meta data, content data, functional data) and other factors a second communication may be encoded in accordance with at least one of a TDMA standard, a CDMA standard, a GSM standard, and a GPRS standard. Additionally, such communication may reflect blue tooth, 802.11, and UWB standards.
- a third mobile device 330 may be thought of as a forwarding device or remote cell tower. While a third mobile device 330 may be in communication with a network node 340, it is preferred that a third mobile device 330 communicate directly with the mobile telematics device 310. It is a further aspect of a mobile device 330 that the device be capable of self locating, but in any case, the entity selecting the information-centric routing protocol generally has knowledge of the location of the third mobile device 330.
- a method of operating a telematics network includes the steps of 10 determining the geographic location of a mobile telematics device using GPS, 20 auto- configuring a network address using a geographic location of a mobile telematics device, 30 receiving an additional auto-configured network address of a second mobile device, 40 selecting an information-centric routing protocol based at least in part on variables including the network address and the additional network address, and 50 routing a communication to the second mobile device via a third mobile device and in accordance with the information- centric routing protocol.
- Determining the geographic location of a mobile telematics device using GPS 10 typically includes communication between a series of satellites and the mobile telematics device.
- a mobile telematics device typically includes a GPS receiver.
- GPS is not the only means of determining location, it is a preferred means.
- Determination of a geographic location may include communication of signals from a plurality of satellites (i.e. 4) to the mobile telematics device. Based on the time it takes for a signal to travel to the mobile telematics device a distance is calculated. Following the distance calculations, a determination maybe made of the location of a mobile telmatics device.
- Auto-configuring a network address 20 may include an algorithm that incorporates a geographic location in order to produce a network address similar to an LP address.
- an additional auto-configured network address of a second mobile device is received (either from the second mobile device, another mobile or device, or calculated by a network node)
- the network address and the additional network address are used in selecting an information- centric routing protocol 30.
- the step of selecting 30 may be further based on at least one of a distance between the mobile phone and the second mobile phone, a distance between the mobile phone and the third mobile phone, a set of available radio frequencies, a power of a transmitter, a latency rating, and a packet file size.
- Routing a communication to the second mobile device via a third mobile device and in accordance with the information-centric routing protocol may further comprise broadcasting the communication using radio waves having a frequency within at least one of an FM band, an AM band, a Television band, a cellular band, a PCS band, an SMR band, a satellite band, and an unrestricted band.
- routing may further comprise encoding the communication in accordance with at least one of a TDMA standard, a CDMA standard, a GSM standard, and a GPRS standard.
