Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of reducing user experienced delay in a delay sensitive service in a radio telecommunications system, such as a Push-to-talk over Cellular (PoC) service.
- a radio telecommunications system such as a Push-to-talk over Cellular (PoC) service.
- PoC Push-to-talk over Cellular
- Push-to-talk over Cellular PoC
- IoC Instant- Talk-over-Cellular
- Push-to-talk over Cellular is basically a "walkie-talkie" service in a cellular telecommunications system.
- PoC enabled terminals will most likely be equipped with a PoC- button.
- This PoC button may either be a designated hardware button, one of the existing buttons in the standard keypad or a software controlled button, eg. a button defined on a pressure sensitive display or the like. When this button is pressed the terminal instantly connects you to a friend, a family member or a group of people of your choice, that is no number taking is required.
- the PoC service is half-duplex, although full duplex may be available at a later stage of development. It is important to have low setup delay in order to allow for the user to start speaking immediately after pressing the button.
- Fig. 1 shows an example of the setup of a PoC service architecture in a general telecommunications network 1 comprising a PoC server 2 that administers the PoC service.
- the PoC server 2 is located in a service network 3, which is associated with a number of Core Networks (CN) 4 each comprising a Service GPRS Support Node 5 (SGSN) and a Gateway GPRS Support Node 6 (GGSN).
- CN Core Networks
- SGSN Service GPRS Support Node 5
- GGSN Gateway GPRS Support Node 6
- At least one Radio Access Network 7 (RAN) in turn comprising at least one Base Station Subsystem 8 (BSS) is associated with each core network, which RAN communicates with a number of User Terminals (UT1 -UT5) via suitable radio telecommunications protocols.
- BSS Base Station Subsystem
- the PoC service allows half- duplex messages from one user terminal to one or more other terminals in a simple manner.
- Fig. 2 shows a more detailed illustration of the setup of a PoC service architecture.
- the different arrows indicate different types of messages that are sent in the service.
- the PoC service comprises a PoC server 2 that administers media transfer, a group/list manager server 9 that administers group/contacts handling, a presence server 10, and an IP Multimedia Subsystem core 11 (LMS) that administers session control signalling with the user terminal UT.
- LMS IP Multimedia Subsystem core 11
- the IMS is a system for supporting IP based multimedia services, comprising a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), and at least one Call Session Control Function (CSCF).
- HSS Home Subscriber Server
- CSCF Call Session Control Function
- the HSS maintains the subscriber profile for the CS (Circuit Switched) domain, PS (Packet Switched) domain and IP Multimedia Subsystem.
- the CSCF in turn provides the IP multimedia basic SIP session handling. It has three functional roles - a "service CSCF" (S-CSCF), an "interrogating CSCF” (I-CSCF) and a "proxy CSCF” (P-CSCF).
- S-CSCF service CSCF
- I-CSCF interrogating CSCF
- P-CSCF proxy CSCF
- the P-CSCF is the first point of contact for the mobile station. It proxies the SIP messages towards the home network for the subscriber.
- the P-CSCF may perform number intemationalisation, and it may enforce policy in the GGSN relating the handling of the bearer traffic for IP multimedia.
- the I-CSCF is the entry point to the home network.
- the other networks will use a Domain Name Server (DNS) to route the messages to the home network, which will lead the SIP signalling to the I- CSCF.
- DNS Domain Name Server
- the I-CSCF contacts the HSS to gain the address of the S-CSCF and forwards the SIP messages to the S-CSCF.
- the S-CSCF is the SIP proxy which provides the access to the operator provided services to the end-user.
- Fig. 3 shows an example of a PoC communication (early media setup) between a user 1 and a user 2 where user 1 is the originating part.
- each arrow indicates a message and its direction.
- BSS 8 is a base station subsystem
- CN 4 is a core network.
- the telecommunications network in fig. 3 has been divided into two parts, an originating side and a terminating side, respectively; however the BSS 8 and CN 4 on the terminating side may be the same as the BSS 8 and CN 4 on the originating side.
- UTl is the terminal of user 1 and UT2 the terminal of user 2.
- actions relating to the PoC service are marked with bold reference numbers.
- the PoC service is initiated in that user 1 selects one or more communication partners or receivers in his/her PoC contacts list, action step 20. Thereafter user 1 pushes the PoC button, process step 21, and the terminal UTl sends a PoC (floor) request signal 22 to the PoC server 2 via the BSS and the CN. If the PoC service is available (the floor is free), i.e. no one of the receivers already has initiated a PoC message, then the PoC server sends a PoC response signal 23 to UTl which indicates that UTl may send a PoC message to selected receivers (in this case user 2). UTl alerts userl that the transmission can be affected and that he/she can begin to talk, action step 24.
- the message 25 is speech coded and packeted into user data packets (Ud packets) 26 that are sent to the PoC server for distribution to the selected receivers.
- UT2 On the terminating side, UT2 first receives a PoC request 27 indicating a PoC message 28 from user 1.
- User 2 accepts the PoC message by pressing an accept button 29 or the like which triggers a PoC accept message 30 from UT2.
- the PoC server forwards the PoC message 26 from user 1.
- 32 he/she may choose to make a response 33 to the message.
- a response from user 2 is initiated by pushing the PoC button 33 on UT2 whereby a PoC request 34 is sent to the PoC server, just like when the communication first was initiated by user 1.
- the PoC server receives the PoC request, it checks if the session (floor) is free, i.e.
- TBF Temporary Block Flow
- TBF prolonging Today there are means to delay the tear down of the TBFs, which are usually tore down when there is no data in the sending buffers located in the terminal or in the BSS, so called TBF prolonging.
- the prolonging of the DL TBF is referred to as Delayed Release ofDL TBF, and the prolonging of the UL TBF is referred to as Extended UL TBF Mode. This prolonging reduces delay times for setting up a new radio connection when new data is placed in the sending buffer shortly after it was emptied.
- a user terminal and a radio telecommunications system are needed, which are arranged to minimize the user experienced delay in a delay sensitive service in a radio telecommunications system operating over channels intended mainly for non-delay sensitive traffic.
- a user terminal and a radio telecommunications system are needed in a PoC service operating over channels that are not dedicated for PoC traffic.
- the obj ect of the invention is to provide a method, user terminal and radio telecommunications system that overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art techniques. This is achieved by the method as defined in claim 1, the user terminal as defined in claim 14 and the radio telecommunications system as defined in claim 17.
- the invention solves this problem by reducing set up delays for setting up uplink radio communication from the user terminal to the basestation subsystem, by predicting that delay sensitive PoC data is to be transmitted, in response to the prediction sending a connection setup signal from the terminal to the basestation subsystem to set up an early uplink radio connection, and transmitting the delay sensitive PoC data via the early uplink connection.
- One advantage afforded by the invention is that the user experienced setup delay during a PoC service is significantly reduced.
- Another advantage afforded by the invention is that it solely involves the functionality of the user terminal whereby such user terminals can be utilized in existing PoC services without any special adaptations of the service.
- Yet another advantage is that the invention achieves reduced delay at a low cost, both with regards to the configuration of the user terminal and to the extra load on the radio telecommunications network.
- Fig. 1 shows an example of a PoC service architecture in a general telecommunications network.
- Fig. 2 shows a more detailed architecture of a PoC service.
- Fig. 3 shows an example of a PoC communication.
- Fig. 4 shows an example of a PoC communication according to the present invention for the originating user.
- Fig. 5 shows an example of a PoC communication according to the present invention for the terminating user.
- Fig. 6 schematically shows a user terminal according to the present invention.
- the present invention significantly reduces this delay by setting up an early uplink radio connection before user delay sensitive information is to be transmitted.
- Such an early uplink radio channel is set up by predicting that delay sensitive PoC data is to be transmitted, and sending an connection setup signal from the terminal to the basestation subsystem (BSS), which connection setup signal is chosen so that it will cause minimal load on the telecommunications system. Examples of such connection setup signals are given below.
- an early uplink radio connection is set up each time it is possible to predict a need for an uplink radio connection.
- the need to set up an early UL radio connection is based on a probability calculation for the specific situation.
- Figs. 4 and 5 shows examples of situations where it is possible to predict need for an uplink radio connection by transmitting connection setup signals in order to reduce delay in a PoC service of the type shown in fig. 3.
- Fig. 4 shows the PoC service scheme for the originating user 1 in fig. 3 (step 20 to 26), wherein two connection setup signals 50 and 51 have been added for setting up an early uplink (UL) radio connection at suitable points in the scheme.
- a connection setup signal 50 is sent from UTl to the BSS already when the user takes a first action 20 to send a PoC message to another user or a group of users, i.e. it is by this action possible to predict that user 1 probably will initiate a PoC message.
- This first action may be when user 1 opens his/her PoC contacts list or any other action that has to be performed in order to initiate a new PoC communication such as entering a PoC menu in the terminal interface, and which action takes place before the PoC button is pressed 21.
- the UL radio connection set up by the connection setup signal 50 is thereafter used for the PoC request 22, which then can be transmitted instantly without the ordinary set up delay.
- the UL radio connection may be terminated
- UTl receives a PoC response 23
- a second connection setup signal 51 is transmitted from UTl to the BSS.
- the PoC response 23 triggers UTl so as to indicate for user 1 that UTl is ready to receive user data (Ud) 25, for example speech.
- user data Ud
- the reception of the PoC response 23 leads to a prediction that user data 25 shortly will be transmitted, whereby the second connection setup signal 51 is transmitted to set up the early uplink radio connection.
- the user data is thereafter transmitted to the selected terminating user(s) in the form of user data packets 26, over the radio connection set up by the connection setup signal 51, thus avoiding the conventional set up delay.
- the radio connection may be terminated in conventional way since no more PoC signals can be expected until one or more of the terminating users reply.
- Fig. 5 shows a corresponding PoC service scheme for the terminating user 2 in fig. 3 (step 27 to 38), wherein three connection setup signals 52, 53 and 54 have been added for setting up an early uplink (UL) radio connection at suitable points in the scheme.
- UT2 receives a PoC request from the PoC server, indicating that e.g. user 1 has sent (or is sending) a PoC message to user 2, and UT2 indicates this to user 2 e.g. by a sound signal.
- UT2 automatically transmitts a connection setup signal 52 to the BSS in order to set up an early uplink (UL) radio connection, which then is used to send the expected PoC response 30 triggered by user response 29.
- UL early uplink
- the conventional delay for setting up the UL radio connection in order to send the PoC response 30 is avoided.
- the UL radio connection will be terminated after a predetermined time limit.
- UT2 receives user data packets with the PoC message from user 1 , and the message is delivered to user 2 in step 32.
- UT2 sets up an UL radio connection by transmitting a connection setup signal 53 at the end of the reception of user data packets 31.
- the act of setting up an early UL radio connection at the end of a received PoC message 31 is based on the prediction that most users will respond to a received PoC message, and that the response will be done shortly (or instantly) at the end of the received message.
- the UL radio connection will be terminated when a predetermined time limit has elapsed.
- a suitable end estimating function capable of estimating an end of a user data packet message 31.
- the end estimation may be triggered in several ways such as by reception of a terminating packet in the message 31, the state of the speech coding function in the terminal during reception of a PoC voice message, or expiring of an end estimation timer.
- the decision to send the connection setup signal 53 is predicted by an estimating function in UT2.
- the estimating function estimates the probability that the user will send a reply to a received PoC message in each specific situation. In order to do so, the estimating function registers the response characteristics (probability) for user 2.
- the response probability may be dependent on parameters such as: originating user, numbers of users in a group message (the reply probability is normally reduced with increasing number of users), time of day, other settings in the UT, position (the reply probability may be low when the user is at work, but high when he/she is at home or vise versa), a user activity factor (a function in UT that registers the user activity of the user during PoC conversations), etc.
- connection setup signal 54 in fig. 5 corresponds to the connection setup signal 51 in fig. 4 and therefore it is not discussed in detail.
- the present invention reduces the experienced PoC service delay, both for the originating user and the terminating user, this is especially true when the PoC conversation is set up and running. Applicable scenarios that would benefit the most are personal PoC conversations and PoC chat groups.
- the delay reduction that can be achieved is from 100 ms to 400 ms or more. These figures might appear low, but during a conversation, delay reductions of this order are clearly noticeable.
- Fig. 6 schematically shows a user terminal UT comprising a PoC function 60, a transceiver 61 and a user interface 62.
- the PoC function 60 comprises a PoC contacts list 64, and is arranged to handle the PoC related functions in a radio telecommunications system operating over non dedicated channels.
- the PoC function 60 further comprises a "setup delay reducing function" 63.
- This delay reducing function 63 is arranged to predict that delay sensitive PoC data is to be transmitted from the user terminal UT and in response to the prediction trigger transmission of a connection setup signal (50, 51, 52, 53, 54) from the user terminal to a basestation subsystem (BSS) to set up an early uplink radio connection.
- a connection setup signal 50, 51, 52, 53, 54
- BSS basestation subsystem
- the setup of an UL TBF is triggered by placing application data in the sending buffer at the radio layer, the so-called GPRS sending buffer.
- the terminal In contrary to Early setup ofDL TBF the terminal cannot setup a connection in the uplink without some application data.
- IP -packet To trigger the Early Uplink TBF setup an connection setup signal (IP -packet) is needed.
- the PoC client in the terminal receives RTP media in the DL, 31 in fig 5.
- the estimating function in the PoC client concludes the end of the talk burst, by discovering that the x-bit of the RTP header is set, by the expiration of an End of talk burst timer, or by reception of an explicit end of talk burst message, it sends an connection setup signal 53 in the form of a RTCP Source Description (SDES) message or/and Receiver Report (RR) message or a compound RTCP message.
- SDES RTCP Source Description
- RR Receiver Report
- a RTCP-SDES message contains so called SDES Items, which describes the source of the data,e.g. NAME : the real name of a source e.g. "Anders Andersson”.
- EMAIL Electronic mail address SDES item, e.g. "John.doe@nowhere.nu”.
- the RTCP message then triggers the UL TBF setup.
- the RTCP message should not consume more than 5 % of the available session bandwidth, however, the gain of using RTCP as Early UL TBF setup makes it reasonable to loosen this requirement.
- normally signaling uses lower priority radio bearers, such as the Interactive class bearer, however, the RTCP message used for Early UL TBF setup for the RTP media requires that the TBF being established relates to the radio connection that the RTP media will use, in order to have the RTCP message as an Early UL TBF setup message for the RTP media.
- the radio connection for the RTP IP-packet is already available.
- the usage of this mechanism in the PoC service is very effective since the RTCP messages are not just forwarded by the PoC server, instead the server will examine the received data and take a decision on whether the information shall be forwarded to the corresponding PoC group members or not. Thus, radio resources are not wasted in the downlinks of other group members. Further, the RTCP message will most likely trigger the TBF characteristics for corresponding RTP media, however Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) messages can be used to trigger an Early UL TBF setup for the TBF characteristics of the SIP signaling.
- ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol
- the terminal PoC client When the terminal PoC client receives a SIP message, this triggers an ICMP message, which while the SIP message is processed in the PoC client is passed to the sending buffer at the radio layer. When the processing is done and the SIP message is passed to the sending buffer the UL TBF is already present. To avoid confusion in the receiver of this ICMP message the ICMP Echo Reply Message should be used. As no ICMP messages are sent about ICMP message, unless it is an ICMP Echo Message, this should not cause confusion in the receiver.
- the receiver of the Echo Reply Message may be the PoC server or any other known host in the path of the terminal PoC server.
- the data field of the Echo Reply Message should be empty in order not to waste radio resources.
- the PoC client in the terminal receives RTP media in the DL, 31 in fig 5.
- the PoC server should discard these RTP packets in the case that this RTP packet is not part of a current talk burst.
- This embodiment requires some scanning of RTP messages, at least RTP messages that are not part of a current talk-burst (Not in between m-bit set to x-bit set/ or other end of talk burst signals).
- the general method would be defined as a method of reducing setup delay in a delay sensitive service in a radio telecommunications system, comprising: predicting that delay sensitive data is to be transmitted, sending, as a response to the prediction, a connection setup signal from the terminal to a basestation subsystem (BSS) to set up an early uplink radio connection, and transmitting the delay sensitive data via the early uplink connection.
- BSS basestation subsystem
