In this mobile communication system, abase station A 1 and abase station B 2 are connected to a higher rank station through anetwork 3. Thenetwork 3 is connected to the base station through a leased line. Trailing data from the higher rank station is sent to thebase station A 1 through a leased line and to thebase station B 2 through another leased line. Data received by the base station A is designated as trailingATM cell A 4, and data sent from the base station A to the higher rank station is designated as leadingATM cell A 6. Likewise, for the base station B, data received by the base station B is designated as trailingATM cell B 5, and data sent from the base station B to the higher rank station is designated as leadingATM cell B 7. -
FIG. 6 shows an ATM cell format. AnATM cell 25 is constituted by data of 53 bytes. In this case, 5 bytes from the head constitute anATM header 26, and the remaining 48 bytes constitute apayload 27. TheATM header 26 comprises GFC (generic flow control) 28. VPI (virtual path identification) 29, VCI (virtual channel identification) 30, PT (payload type) 31, CLP (cell loss priority) 32, and HEC (header error control) 33. - GFC 28 is provided for flow control which is performed when traffic has been increased and, consequently, overload state has taken place over the
network 3.VPI 29 is utilized in setting of a virtual path between the higher rank station and the base station, andVCI 30 is utilized for the identification of each of a plurality of data in the set VP (virtual path) in the communication of the plurality of data.PT 31 indicates the state of cell (congestion), andCLP 32 indicates the significance of cell. HEC 33 functions to detect bit error of theATM header 26, and indicates the results of coding of 8-bit CRC for 4 bytes in the header except forHEC 33. Apayload 27 indicates the storage region of communication data. -

The secondary group of leased lines have a transmission capacity of 6.3 Mbps wherein 789 bits are arranged in a frame of time length, 125 μs. In this format, 8 bit-length 98 TSs (time slots) can be obtained. In a portion of 96 TSs (96 bytes×8=768 bits) among them,ATM cells 25 are continuously arranged. -
FIG. 2 shows an example of the construction of a conventional trailing ATM cell. Thetrailing ATM A 4 from the higher rank station is received in anHWY interface section 8 in thebase station A 1. A receiveprocessor 35 has the function of terminating the trailingATM cell A 4. Thebase station A 1 and thebase station B 2 are handled as devices which are independent of each other. Thus, these base stations have the same construction. -

For data received from the leased line, the physical layer is terminated in theHWY interface section 8. In a leasedline frame trailer 11, the frame format shown inFIG. 7 is synchronized. After the establishment of the synchronization of the frame, cell synchronization for establishing the position of cell boundary is carried out in an ATM cellsynchronous detector 12, for identifying anATM cell 25 mapped within the frame format. - For the
ATM cell 25 within the frame format which has been picked out in the ATM cellsynchronous detector 12, error detection ofHEC 33 is carried out in the ATMHEC error detector 22, and theATM cell 25, which has been found to have an error, is discarded in this function.

In the receiveprocessor 35, VPI 29 is confirmed for the trailingATM cell A 4 received byVPI filter 14, and only the trailingATM cell A 4 havingVPI 29 assigned to thebase station A 1 is transferred to the next processing. TheATM cell 25, whereinVPI 29 is different from the set value, is discarded by this function. - The trailing
ATM cell A 4, which has been passed through the filter ofVPI 14, judges various ATM cells assigned by theVCI filter 25, and is terminated at anATM cell trailer 16. -

Since thebase station A 1 and the higher rank station, are connected to each other through a leased line, thebase station A 1 maps the leadingATM cell B 7 in the leased line (secondary group) frame format shown inFIG. 7 through the use of aframe generator 23. Further, there is also a function of mapping of anidol cell 34 in the frame format according to the transmission rate capacity of the leadingATM cell A 6. - Regarding another example of the conventional mobile communication system, for example, Japanese Patent No. 3003779 proposes a mobile communication system wherein the control link between an exchange and a radio base station, is established using a control signal by ATM.
- The above-described conventional prior art techniques, however, had the following problems.
- The first problem is such that when reduction in size/reduction in capacity of the base station has lead to a reduction in quantity of data for communication between the base station and the higher rank station and, consequently, the quantity of data has become smaller than the capacity of the leased line, in the mapping within the leased line, the proportion of the effective cell becomes larger than the proportion of the idol cell. This creates wasteful line charge. When the number of users to be supported by the base station has been changed, for example, due to a reduction in size, changing the rate including the quantity of data in the cable to an optimal rate is preferred. Since, however, there is no leased line suitable for the capacity, the system of the base station should be constructed in such a state that an unused band exists.
- The second problem is such that, in solving the first problem, the connection of the conventional model should be possible. That is, a system should be devised which has succeeded to the conventional system design and can utilize existing models.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a base station modulator/demodulator and an ATM cell send/receive method, wherein, for a base station in which the band of ATM cell utilized between the base station and the higher rank station has been reduced due to a reduction in size/reduction in capacity, ATM cells corresponding to a plurality of base stations are logically multiplexed with the leased line between the base station and the higher rank station and the termination of the ATM cell addressed to itself in the master base station and the send of ATM cell to a slave base station and the receive of ATM cell from the slave base station can be simultaneously realized to enable the elimination of the waste of the leased line.
- According to the first feature of the invention, a base station modulator/demodulator for constituting a mobile communication system and sending ATM cells to a higher rank station and receiving ATM cells from the higher rank station, comprises:
- receive means for terminating, among ATM cells received from the higher rank station through a leased line, ATM cels addressed to the base station;
- first send means for sending, among the ATM cells received from the higher rank station through the leased line, ATM cells addressed to another base station to the another base station: and
- second send means for multiplexing ATM cells of a plurality of base stations, said base station and said another base station, and sending the multiplexed cells to the higher rank station through the leased line.
- According to the second feature of the invention, an ATM cell send/receive method in a mobile communication system for performing send/receive of ATM cells between a higher rank station and a base station, comprises the steps of:
- terminating, among ATM cells received from the higher rank station through a leased line, ATM cells addressed to the base station;
- sending, among the ATM cells received from the higher rank station through the leased line, ATM cells addressed to another base station to the another base station; and
- multiplexing ATM cells of a plurality of base stations, said base station and said another base station, and sending the multiplexed cells to the higher rank station through the leased line.
- Referring now to
FIGS. 8 and 9 , the base station modulator/demodulator according to the invention is provided in a base station constituting a mobile communication system and sends ATM cells to a higher rank station and receives ATM cells from the higher rank station. The base station modulator/demodulator comprises: receive means (9) for terminating, among ATM cells received from the higher rank station through a leased line, ATM cells addressed to the base station; first send means (10) for sending, among the ATM cells received from the higher rank station through the leased line. ATM cells addressed to another base station to the another base station; and second send means (19) for multiplexing ATM cells of a plurality of base stations, the base station and the another base station, and sending the multiplexed cells to the higher rank station through the leased line. - According to the base station modulator/demodulator of the invention, for a base station wherein the usable band of the ATM cell between the base station and the higher rank station has been reduced due to a reduction in size/reduction in capacity of the base station, ATM cells of a plurality of base stations are logically multiplexed in a leased line between the base station and the higher rank station, the master base station terminates the ATM cell addressed thereto, and at the same time the send of ATM cell to a slave base station and the receive of ATM cell from the slave base station can be realized, whereby the waste of the leased line can be eliminated. Further, since the master base station and the slave base station have the same processing function, the thinking of “master/slave base station” is unnecessary and, thus, this facilitates system design. Furthermore, since the master base station has the same processing function as the slave base station, a further slave base station can be easily provided under the slave base station.

- (1) Explanation of Construction
- In data communication between a base station and a higher rank station in a mobile communication system, a transmission method is used wherein an existing leased line is used as a PM (physical media) sublayer and an ATM cell has been mapped in a leased line frame format.
- As shown in
FIG. 5 , the mobile communication system according to a preferred embodiment of the invention generally comprises abase station A 1, abase station B 2, and anetwork 3. - The above construction will be explained in detail. The
base station A 1 is connected to a higher rank station through anetwork 3. Thenetwork 3 and thebase station A 1 are connected to each other through a leased line. An ATM cell 25 (seeFIG. 6 ) for thebase station A 1 and thebase station B 2 is multiplexed in the trailing data from the higher rank station. The trailing ATM cell for thebase station B 2 separated in thebase station A 1 is sent from thebase station A 1 to thebase station B 2. The leading ATM cell sent from thebase station B 2 is received in thebase station A 1, is multiplexed in the leading ATM cell of thebase station A 1, and is then sent to the higher rank station. -
FIG. 6 shows the ATM cell format. TheATM cell 25 is constituted by data of 53 bytes. 5 bytes from the head are accounted for by anATM header 26, and the remaining 46 bytes constitute apayload 27. TheATM header 26 consists ofGFC 28,VPI 29,VCX 30,PT 31,CLP 32, andHEC 33. -
GPC 28 is provided for flow control which is performed when traffic has been increased and, consequently, overload state has taken place over thenetwork 3.VPI 29 is utilized in setting of a virtual path between the higher rank station and the base station, andVCI 30 is utilized for the identification of each of a plurality of data in the set VP (virtual path) in the communication of the plurality of data.PT 31 indicates the state of cell (congestion), andCLP 32 indicates the significance of cell.HEC 33 functions to detect bit error of theATM header 26, and indicates the results of coding of 8-bit CRC for 4 bytes in the header except forHEC 33. Apayload 27 indicates the storage region of communication data. -
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a leased line to secondary group) frame format as one example of the leased line frame format. The secondary group of leased lines have a transmission capacity of 6.3 Mbps wherein 789 bits are arranged in a frame of time length 125 μs. In this format, 8 bit-length 98 TSs (time slots) can be obtained. In a portion of 96 TSs (96 bytes×8=768 bits) among them.ATM cells 25 are continuously arranged. -
FIG. 8 shows the construction of a trailing ATM cell according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. The trailing ATM cell from the higher rank station is received in anHWY interface section 8 of thebase station A 1. A master receiveprocessor 9 terminates a trailingATM cell A 4 addressed to thebase station A 1 as the master. A slave sendprocessor 10 identifies a trailingATM cell B 5 addressed to thebase station B 2, and sends the trailingATM cell B 5 to thebase station B 2. Thebase station B 2 has the same construction as thebase station A 1, and, in order to receive theATM cell 25 from thebase station A 1, has theHWY interface section 8 and a master receiveprocessor 9. -
FIG. 9 shows the construction of a leading ATM cell according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. A leadingATM cell A 6 from the base station. A 1 to the higher rank station is generated in anATM cell generator 20, and a leadingATM cell B 7 in thebase station B 2 is generated in the slave sendprocessor 22. Thebase station A 1 receives the leadingATM cell B 7 from thebase station B 2 in aslave interface section 21, multiplexes both the leadingATM cells 25 in acell multiplexer 19, followed by the send of the multiplexed cells to a leased line. - Specifically, according to the base station connection method utilizing an ATM line according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, in a base station modulator/demodulator (base station) in a mobile communication system for data communication between a base station and a higher rank station by a transmission method wherein an ATM cell is mapped utilizing an existing leased line as a PM (physical media) sublayer, when the quantity of data utilized in one base station is much smaller than the band of the leased line connected due to a reduction in size/reduction in capacity of the base station, data of a plurality of base stations are multiplexed through an ATM layer in the leased lime and the master base station functions to send data to the slave base station, to receive data from the slave base station, and to perform multiplex sending of the received data and the self-station data, whereby the effective utilization of the leased line is realized and the extension of the slave base station can be easily realized.
- (2) Explanation of Operation
- The operation of the preferred embodiment of the invention will be explained in detail in conjunction with FIGS. 6 to 11. As shown in
FIG. 8 , the construction of the trailing ATM cell according to the preferred embodiment of the invention is such that the trailing ATM cell from the higher rank station is received in the state of multiplexing of the ATM cell for thebase station A 1 and the ATM cell for thebase station B 2. Since the trailingATM cell A 4 and the trailingATM cell B 5 are mapped in the same leased line, in the case of VP connection wherein the cells are judged by path identification, the cells should be different from each other inVPI 29 in theATM header 26 shown inFIG. 6 . - The master receive
processor 9 and the slave sendprocessor 10 recognizeVPI 29 set in thebase station A 1 and thebase station B 2. - The construction of a trailing processing function according to the invention is as shown in
FIG. 10 . A leased line (secondary group) frame format as an example of the leased line frame format is shown inFIG. 7 described above. - The secondary group leased line has a transmission capacity of 6.3 Mbps wherein 789 bits are arranged in a frame of time length 125 μs. In this format, 98 TSs (time slots) of 8 bit-length can be obtained. In a portion of 96 TSs (96 bytes×8=768 bits) among them,
ATM cells 10 are continuously arranged. Since the length of theATM cell 25 is 424 bits (53 bytes), as shown in the drawing, in some cases, the boundary of the 125 μs frame does not confirm to the cell boundary and, in this case, oneATM cell 25 extends over two frames. The specifications are in accordance with ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector) G. 804. - For the data received from the leased line, the physical layer is terminated in the
HWY interface section 8. The trailing data received from the leased line is subjected to the synchronization of the frame format shown inFIG. 7 in the leasedline frame terminal 8. Further, after the establishment of the frame synchronization, cell synchronization for establishing cell boundary position is carried out in an ATM cellsynchronous detector 12 to identify theATM cell 25 mapped within the frame format. - The
ATM cell 25 within the frame format, which has been Picked out in the ATM cellsynchronous detector 12, is subjected to error detection ofHEC 33 by an ATMHEC error detector 13, andATM cell 25 having an error is discarded in this function. The trailing ATM cell in the physical layer judged to be effective is simultaneously sent to the master receiveprocessor 9 and the slave sendprocessor 10. - In the master receive
processor 9, for the received trailing ATM cell,VPI 29 is confirmed by aVPI filter 14, and only the trailingATM cell A 4 havingVPI 29 assigned to thebase station A 1 as the master is transferred to next processing. The trailingATM cell B 5 havingVPI 29 different from the set value is discarded by the present function. The trailingATM cell A 4, which has been passed through the filter ofVPI 14, judgesvarious ATM cells 25 assigned by aVCI filter 15, followed by termination in anATM cell terminator 16. - In the slave send
processor 10, as with the master receiveprocessor 9, theVPI filter 14 is used to judge only the trailingATM cell B 5 assigned to the base station D. Since the trailingATM cell B 5 has been sent from the higher rank station through the leased line in the state of multiplexing with theATM cell A 4 of the base station A, behind theVPI filter 14, the band of theATM cell B 5 is smaller than the band of the leased line. For this reason, aspeed regulator 17 inserts anidol cell 34 instead of theATM cell 25 discarded in theVPI filter 14. - The
base station A 1 and thebase station B 2 are connected to each other through a cable, and conversion to a leased line (secondary group) frame format is carried out in aframe generator 18 of aslave send processor 10. Thebase station B 2 has the same trailing processing function as thebase station A 1, and the use of only the master receive processing can realize the termination of the trailing ATM cell.B 5. Further, when thebase station B 2 has the same trailing processing function as thebase station A 1, the whole system can be constructed by an identical hardware. This can easily realize the provision of a base station C in the slave of thebase station B 2. -
FIG. 9 shows the construction of a leading ATM cell according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, andFIG. 11 shows the construction of a leading processing function according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. - The leading
ATM cell B 7 from thebase station B 2 is generated in theATM cell generator 20. Thebase station B 2 is connected to thebase station A 1 through a cable, and thebase station B 2 uses aframe generator 23 of acell multiplexer 19 to map the leadingATM cell B 7 in the leased line (secondary group) frame format shown inFIG. 7 . Thebase station B 2 further has the function of mapping anidol cell 34 in the frame format according to the transmission rate capacity of the leadingATM cell B 7. - Regarding the leading signal from the
base station B 2, the physical layer is terminated in theslave interface section 21 of thebase station A 1. Theslave interface section 21 functions in the same manner as theHWY interface section 8 which terminates the trailing physical layer. The leadingATM cell B 7 withdrawn in theslave interface section 21 is transferred to thecell multiplexer 19. Further, in thebase station A 1, theATM cell A 6 generated in theATM cell generator 20 is transferred to thecell multiplexer 19. Thecell multiplexer 19 comprises anATM cell multiplexer 24 and aframe generator 23. - When the
ATM cell A 6 and theATM cell B 7 introduced respectively from thebase station A 1 and thebase station B 2 are sent to the leased line, theATM cell multiplexer 24 controls the number of times of send. For each leased line used between the higher rank, station and each base station, the band is previously determined. Therefore, the band is controlled by varying the number of times of send of each ATM cell according to the set value. TheATM cell 25 assigned in theATM cell multiplexer 24 generates a frame format for a leased line in theframe generator 23. - The
base station B 2 has the same leading processing function as thebase station A 1, and the use of only theATM cell generator 20 can realize the generation of the leadingATM cell B 7. Further, when thebase station B 2 has the same leading processing function as thebase station A 1, the whole system can be constructed by an identical hardware. This can easily realize the provision of a base station C in the slave of thebase station B 2. - As described above, according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, for a base station wherein the usable band of the ATM cell between the base station and the higher rank station has been reduced due to a reduction in size/reduction in capacity of the base station, ATM cells of a plurality of base stations are logically multiplexed in a leased line between the base station and the higher rank station, the master base station terminates the ATM cell addressed thereto, and, at the same time, the send of ATM cell to a slave base station and the receive of ATM cell from the slave base station can be realized, whereby the waste of the leased line can be eliminated.
- Since the master base station and the slave base station have the same processing function, the thinking of “master/slave base station” is unnecessary and, thus, this facilitates system design.
- Further, since the master base station has the same processing function as the slave base station, a further slave base station can be easily provided under the slave base station.
- In the above preferred embodiment, the higher rank station and the base station A are connected to each other through a leased line, and the master base station and the slave base station are connected to each other through a cable. In another preferred embodiment, a leased line may also be used for connection between the master base station and the slave base station. In this case, although only the secondary group (6.3 M) leased line is used in the above preferred embodiment, in another preferred embodiment, a more cost-effective system may be considered wherein, for the slave base station, conversion from the secondary group to the primary group is made.
- Further, in the above preferred embodiment, an existing leased line is utilized. The same technique can also be applied to an SDH (synchronous digital hierarchy) system, for example, utilizing 155 M, and rate down from 155 M to the secondary group is possible.
- The provision of a plurality of slave send functions within the base station permits the connection of the plurality of slave base stations under the master base station.
- As is apparent from the foregoing description, the base station modulator/demodulator according to the invention performs the following control. Among ATM cells received through a leased line from a higher rank station, ATM cells addressed to a base station are terminated, and ATM cells addressed to another base station among the ATM cells received through the leased line from the higher rank station are sent to the another base station. Further, ATM cells of a plurality of base stations, a base station and other base station, are multiplexed, and the multiplexed cells are sent to the higher rank station through a leased line. In addition, the base station provided with the base station modulator/demodulator has the same processing function as other base station. The above construction can offer the following effects.
- The first effect is such that, for a base station wherein the usable band of the ATM cell between the base station and the higher rank station has been reduced due to a reduction in size/reduction in capacity of the base station, ATM cells of a plurality of base stations are logically multiplexed in a leased line between the base station and the higher rank station, the master base station terminates the ATM cell addressed thereto, and, at the same time, the send of ATM cell to a slave base station and the receive of ATM cell from the slave base station can be realized, whereby the waste of the leased line can be eliminated.
- The second effect is such that since the master base station and the slave base station have the same processing function, the thinking of “master/slave base station” is unnecessary and, thus, this facilitates system design.
- The third effect is such that, since the master base station has the same processing function as the slave base station, a further slave base station can be easily provided under the slave base station.
- The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to preferred embodiments, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
