Multiple different honeycombs and Mobile Communication Service and standard future be it is available or it is contemplated that it is all these all From each embodiment can realize and be benefited.It is this service and standard include such as third generation partner program (3GPP), Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, third generation wireless mobile telecommunication technology (3G), forth generation wireless mobile telecommunication technology (4G), the whole world Mobile communication system (GSM), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), 3GSM, general packet radio service (GPRS), CDMA (CDMA) system (such as cdmaOne, CDMA2000TM), the enhanced data-rates (EDGE) of GSM evolution, advanced mobile phone system System (AMPS), numeral AMPS (IS-136/TDMA), evolution data optimization (EV-DO), Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT), World Interoperability for Microwave Access, WiMax (WiMAX), WLAN (WLAN), public switch telephone network (PSTN), Wi- Fi protections access I＆II (WPA, WPA2),, integrated digital Strengthens network (iden), and land mobile radio (LMR).Each in these technologies is directed to for example to speech message, data-message, signaling message and/or content-message Transmission and reception.It should be understood that drawing to the term related to single telecommunication standard or technology and/or any of ins and outs With being all merely for illustrative purposes, and it is not intended to for the scope of claims to be restricted to specific communication system or skill Art, unless clearly described in claim language.

It is to set up effectively to communicate in response to the high priority of any urgent or disaster scenario.In extensive urgent or disaster In (artificial and natural two kinds of situations) situation, it is important to maintain the communication between all first respondents and emergency personnel so as to Effectively respond, manage and control emergency.Efficient communication disappearance between the first respondent and other emergency personnels In the case of, possibly resource cannot be effectively moved to need most the area of resource.Even it is slight in emergency circumstances (for example, Vehicle accident and fire), the first respondent allows for calling and supports assets and coordinate other service (for example, communal facility, doctors Institute etc.).The proprietary rightss of ubiquitous wireless device and use, via the wireless device using commercial cellular mobile communications network Emergency communication typically transfer the full blast and maximally effective means of emergency response personnel and resource.Enable wireless device Enough provide effective urgency communication to avoid (such as police, fire-fighting, ambulance, FEMA, public setting in various first respondent mechanisms Apply) between coordinate radio frequency technological challenge and cost.Additionally, not on duty or be generally not equipped with wireless first Respondent (for example, doctor, nurse, retired police or army personnel) will have wireless device or can promptly by means of to wirelessly setting It is standby.

However, be not without problems by the urgency communication of cellular communications networks.Discussed as more than in the background, will Cellular communications networks (" network ") are designed to adapt to the only a part of equipment in the sum of the wireless device in specific cell Access request.When emergency or crisis, Internet resources can become that over-burden, when to the predictable of the situation Mankind's response promotes the wireless device users of a large amount of quantity within specific cell while access network.Wireless device users can Can be attempt to emergency personnel's warning emergency (such as 911 urgent calls) or warning friend or kinsfolk although be in Emergency area but the user is safe.Some users may to press service or friend's transmission emergency The image of (fire, accident etc.).In the case of extensive, will using the emergency responder of the wireless device for urgency communication Increase call volume.Anyway, during emergency, the predictable increase of call volume can overwhelm commercial cellular communication net Network, especially in the cell area for surrounding emergency, therefore makes network be unreliable for emergency response personnel communication is used 's.

To illustrate the problem, it is considered to which the situation of vehicle accident on a highway occurs.Fig. 1 shows under normal condition Cellular communications networks.As indicated, multiple wireless devices 101 (a-g) via the base station 102 serviced for specific cell 100 wirelessly It is connected to cellular communications networks.Base station 102 is connected to via base station controller (BSC)/radio network controller (RNC) 103 Mobile switching centre (MSC) 104.MSC 104 includes public switch telephone network (PSTN) interface and internet interface.That what is made arrives Or the calling for any equipment come from the plurality of wireless device 101 (a-g) can be via conventional landline PSTN It route on the Internet 106 on 105 or using VOIP.In conventional fixed telephone station and wireless device 101 (a-g) any one Calling between individual equipment can via PSTN or interconnection path by.Calling between wireless device 101 (a-g) can be The similar MSC 104, BSC/ of the wireless device 101 (a-g) for being located adjacent to initiate or be intended to is routed on PSTN or the Internet RNC 103 and base station 102.

Fig. 1 shows typical situation, the wherein equipment component in the wireless device within cell while access network.Example Such as, Fig. 1 is shown at the seven detached wireless devices 101 (a-g) within cell, wherein only three (101c, 101d and 101e) current positive access network.Therefore, network is just operated within its operating parameter well, and authorize it is all from The request to network of wireless device 101 (a-g).It is noted that being opened but and untapped all wireless devices 101 (a-g) Continue on through and communicated with base station 102 by link management channel (not shown).Web vector graphic these communication come keep to each cell it The tracking of interior wireless device 101 (a-g) is route with support call.However, in all wireless devices 101 (a-g) and being used for this It is less (especially compared to carrying out required for normal telephone calls that class follows the trail of the quantity of information communicated between purpose base station 102 Bandwidth), so opening within the cell but the quantity of the wireless device 101 of inactive (on-but-inactive) generally will not Network can be overwhelmed.

The driver of time delay is promoted to come while reminding traffic using their wireless device when such as accident stopped traffic Emergency personnel of accident (urgent 911 calling) contacts friend, kinsfolk, business parnter etc. to notify their be late, honeybee This conventional func of nest network can multilated.Fig. 2 is illustrated in the cellular communications networks in such emergency.In the diagram In, the truck 107 in the vicinity of base station 102 catches fire.Predictably, 107 fire of truck promotes nigh most of wireless 101 (a-g) user of equipment almost accesses cellular network simultaneously.This causes the overload situations in cell, due to more than in this ground The bandwidth of the operator stood on 102.As a result, some wireless devices 101b, 101f will be not authorized to the access to network, and newly Network insertion request can be rejected and open until communication channel.This communication performance bottleneck can make emergency become worse, due to time delay The response made by emergency personnel the effective network service for refusing the first respondent.

This problem is even more serious in the disaster scenario of many victims and larger area is related to, such as prairie fire, flood, hurricane Wind, tornado and the attack of terrorism.As witnessed during September is attacked with Katrina (Katrina) hurricane on the 11st, calamity can To destroy partial cell and fixed telephone network infrastructure, remaining network is made to be more susceptible to the impact of overload situations.In disaster Network over loading during event is particularly problematic, because such situation is naturally enough related to extensive chaotic and requires a large amount of tight Close coordination between urgency and relief worker.

If disaster scenario will continue long enough (such as flood or hurricane situation), honeycomb can be disposed by activation and be led to Extra cellular communication capacity is increased to a region to be supplied to the ability of emergency response group and people communication by letter system. Such latest developments can deployment unit (herein also referred to as " switch (switch on wheels) on wheel ") can include use In the CDMA2000 base stations and switch, land mobile radio (LMR) interoperability equipment for being connected remotely to the Internet and PSTN, Satellite fixed service satellite (FSS), and alternatively include the electromotor of source or remote power such as gasoline or diesel driven. Switch on the wheel that example can be disposed is provided in the U.S. Patent Application No. 12/249,143 that on October 10th, 2008 submits to More thoroughly describe, the entire disclosure of which is integrally joined to this with which by quoting.

The upper switch of these wheels is effective mobile cellular base station, and which can be grasped in the deployment of disaster area and as cellular antenna tower Make.On wheel, switch sends and receives the signal of communication from multiple wireless devices 101 and serves as remaining general communication base The gateway entrance of Infrastructure.Communication on wheel between switch and wireless device 101 is broken down into for communicating as VOIP The packet of transmission, and can transmit via the earth station beyond satellite to distressed area, here will be called by telephone network and be turned It is dealt into recipient.Even if increased bandwidth is provided by switch on the wheel that can be disposed, network over loading still can cause to ring to urgent Answer the communication delay of personnel and defeat.

To overcome the problems in the event of National Emergency situation, WPA systems are disposed.Conventional WPA systems are to selected Urgent leader the access of trying to be the first to cellular communications networks is provided.However, routine WPA systems do not allow for the WPA to registering working as The wireless device of office is called.In other words, can give registration WPA service wireless device on network place calls it is excellent While first access, not existing in WPA systems enables those very identical wireless devices to receive the supply of calling.To life Make the incoming call of the wireless device in center can be equally important with de-electrifying calling.And, if conventional WPA system postulations are authorized User need make calling, calling will be made from their wireless devices registered in advance.However, it is possible to situation be authorized Personnel have its wireless device registered in advance.Or, wireless device may be destroyed.Authorized person must be caused Member has access to the network for transshipping.And, previously emergency personnel without their wireless device is registered in WPA systems not The cellular communications networks of overload can be accessed with " hastily (on the fly) ".Many times, it is not tight in primary aspiration on duty Anxious response personnel is probably the first respondent of love scene.Such personnel may not have using the need for being designed to solve to lead The right of the conventional WPA for asking.Therefore, more specifically in view of their vicinity at the scene can quick relaxed situations personnel May non-pre-registration and to conventional WPA authorize.

To overcome these limitations of conventional cellular communication network and routine WPA, various embodiments are at cell phone Starting and the calling for terminating all provide layering priority access (TPA) ability to the first respondent and carry out delivering service quality (QoS)/clothes Business grade (GOS) wireless device communication.Various embodiments are especially for the first respondent when just starting in emergency Demand.

As the name suggests, TPA is intended to provide layering response to network capacity requirement.As more respondents go out Now helping to solve the problems, such as on hand, layering response is reflected in the representative communication requirement of love scene.When an event occurs, One respondent in love scene or begins to respond to.First respondent's negligible amounts of account on the spot event are arrived first at, And the magnitude and seriousness of event can be corresponded directly to and increased.

To adapt to this predictable response, TPA can be realized as the first respondent reaches the spot and as situation is extensive It is multiple to the normally upgrading based on call volume left and demotion processes.

Generally, various embodiment work are as follows.In the normal operation period, cellular call amount of the monitoring by certain base station And determine whether network is close to capacity limit.Can be based on the bandwidth in active calls, the trial of access network, use or honeycomb Additive method known to service provider carrys out monitoring calling amount.Can base station 102, BSC/RNC 103 or MSC104 it is local or Central places monitoring calling amount such as in network operation center (NOC) in one embodiment.It is such monitoring be in honeycomb grade, by Affect one or two cell area in normal emergency situation most probable, although TPA by extensively urgent event with similar Form works.When the call volume in cell is more than the threshold value preselected by service provider and/or emergency response undertaker, system A channel in the cell tower for operating distribution impacted to TPA.

Fig. 2 shows that call volume alreadys exceed the situation of the threshold value for indicating to implement TPA.As shown in Fig. 2 by base station 102 More wireless devices 101 that ratio network in the cell of support can connect just are attempting access to network.As a result, only wirelessly set Some in standby 101a, 101c, 101d, 101e and 101g are possible to dial or receive calling (as shown in solid black), and will refusal Access of other wireless devices to network (as shown in white).In this case, the call volume in the cell for being serviced by base station 102 is Jing exceedes threshold value, so a channel distribution in the communication channel on antenna is operated to TPA.However, channel is remained in that To general public using the calling that can use until dialing authorized TPA.Therefore, do not change in a communication network and be illustrated in In Fig. 2.

Various embodiments solve this overload situations to allow emergency personnel that honeycomb can be used when they reach the spot Communication network, as shown in Figure 3.When emergency responder 108 reaches the spot, the individuality can initiate radiotelephone call.If Communication channel have been assigned to TPA operation and emergency responder wireless device be pre-registration be authorized to TPA it is wireless Equipment, network can be known from the wireless device of the authorized TPA of unique ID identifications pre-registration of wireless device and by the calling Wei not TPA callings.Base station 102, BSC/RNC 103 or MSC 104 can ensure that TPA callings are connections.If necessary, reduce and divide It is fitted on the bandwidth of civilian wireless device users and one or more non-emergency calls can be hung up and is enable to connect TPA Calling.This is expressed as the connection for having hung up wireless device 101c in figure 3 and refuses to the further access of network (to show For white lightning), and connect the TPA callings (being shown as empty black lightning electricity) made by emergency responder 108.

As shown in figure 4, as extra emergency personnel 109 reaches the scene of emergency, it may be necessary to connect extra TPA is called.To adapt to the increase of TPA callings, automatically can operate to TPA and distribute extra Internet resources to ring to urgent The person of answering provides reliable cellular communication.This is demonstrated in the diagram, it illustrates what is be connected with police 108 and 109 personnel of fire-fighting TPA callings (are shown as empty black lightning electricity), and disconnect (be shown as white lightning) wireless device 101c and 101d.From trend TPA is reduced to the available bandwidth of general public using distribution more multiple resource, and this will limit the general access to network.However, only Want big call volume to continue, just the reliability to network is provided to emergency personnel and accessed.

Emergency is solved most at last and emergency personnel will start to scene.When situation recovers normal, civilian call volume Normal level should be returned and require that TPA accesses the quantity of emergency responder and will also decline.In Figure 5, this illustrates fire for this displaying It has been off and fireman has had been moved off scene.As traffic starts to return proper flow, less general population without Line equipment 101a-101g is while access network.As cellular communication is returned normally, cellular communication resources can be discharged from TPA operations, By network recovery to normal operating.As indicated, because call volume has already decreased to the point that TPA operations have been terminated, with Remaining emergency personnel 108 is connected to cellular communications networks by normal form.

When realizing that in one or more communication channels TPA is operated, cellular system (for example, home base stations, BSC/RNC Or in MSC or as in the center of NOC) monitoring incoming call and de-electrifying calling be directly from or arrived determining whether any calling Emergency response personnel.This can be completed by starting or purpose wireless device are identified as the wireless device of pre-registration TPA.Can replace Dai Di, system can recognize that emergency response personnel, and when they complete special dialing procedure, * 272 dialing procedure as described below.

Wireless device can be by the TPA uses by authorized user by pre-registration.This can be by providing to cellular network Business is registered as titular emergency responder (such as according to the standard set up by the government) to realize.As in the field of telecommunications It is well known that assigning unique identification number to all wireless devices 101 for accessing cellular communication.In pre-registration procedure, honeybee Nest network provider stores the unique identifying number of wireless device in the data base of the TPA personnel being authorized to.As more fully below As ground description, cellular network provider can also issue unique Personal Identification number (PIN) for individual, for realizing from non- Used in the TPA of TPA wireless devices is seized.

If the wireless device of emergency responder is not pre-registration (phone such as borrowed), and network over loading, then Emergency responder may not access network resource.In the case, emergency responder can by dial first * 272 followed by Dial personal identification number (PIN) and telephone number embodiment TPA is activated from nonregistered (NR) wireless device 101.From nonregistered (NR) wireless The nearest base station 102 of equipment 101 receives the transmission from wireless device 101, indicates that the wireless device just initiates calling.Base station 102 (or being connected to the BSC/RNC 103 for receiving base station) * 272 special dialing prefix of identification simultaneously start to route the call to suitably Destination.Alternately, the identification of #272 dialing prefix and route can be completed at MSC 104.This destination can be The PSAP of the nearest data base with PIN or center.As calling is carried out by communications network system, in BSC/RNC At 103 and it is similarly processed * 272 at MSC 104 after a while to call.Control base station antenna 102 and other associated antennas BSC/RNC 103 or MSC 104 be programmed to special dial using first respondent's PIN database identification of pre-registration Journey.This PIN database can be stored at MSC 104 or in another center of such as NOC.If the PIN for being received and PIN Record matching in data base, MSC 104 can give caller the access of trying to be the first to network immediately, just as calling is from as described above Register with TPA wireless device make as.In order to support this ability, the channel for being assigned TPA is reserved during TPA operations Sufficient open capacity is receiving and identifying * 272 dial-ups.If communication channel is in peak capacity and the number dialed Do not start with * 272, then promptly drop calls and not attempting complete calling.If however, the number dialed is opened with * 272 Head, MSC 104 complete the process for being compared the PIN and PIN database of input, and are temporarily authorized by time call registration The wireless device of TPA.If necessary, non-TPA callings can be hung up to retain sufficient to receive and recognize * 272 callings Capacity.

Although running through the application, mention MSC 104 and monitor and provide the TPA abilities, one of ordinary skill in the art should Recognize that the other elements of communication system are capable of achieving various method and steps.These elements may include but be not limited to and antenna for base station 102nd, the equipment of BSC/RNC 103 or NOC collocation.

Once wireless device is identified as TPA phones by means of * 272 dialing procedures, MSC 104 will track wireless device, And continue it to be regarded as the wireless device for registering with TPA, as long as at least one communication channel is assigned to TPA operations.Use The unique identifying number of wireless device is assigned to, the follow-on-call from wireless device is identified as TPA and is called by MSC 104, and nothing User is needed to repeat * 272 dialing procedures.Similarly, MSC 104 can be identified to the first respondent that should receive TPA and seize service Incoming call.Therefore, when by using * 272 dialing procedures call a number (such as dispatcher or " 911 ") come for incoming call exhale Cry and de-electrifying calling is when all realizing TPA, nothing can be registered with " hastily " using the first respondent 108 of nonregistered (NR) wireless device Line equipment.

In one embodiment, the TPA authorized users with PIN can use as above * 272 dialing journey process Any number of wireless device of certification.The first respondent such as police, fireman or emergency medical service technology people will be made in the present embodiment Member can be by volunteer's " deputizing " of army personnel that such as they have found at the scene, doctor or retired police, therefore wound Build reliable interim Emergency Communications Network.When returning normal operating due to all communication channels in affected area, revocation is logical The interim TPA for crossing the wireless device of * 272 dialing procedure foundation is authorized (stop TPA operations), if limited consideration is not The PIN of authorized user is revealed, can be subsequent emergency compromise TPA systems.Even if revealing PIN, as TPA realizes quilt Rare, random, accidental event is contemplated to be, can easily change PIN without significant impact.

In yet another embodiment, do not have the user of the wireless device for registering with TPA of (or forgetting) PIN can be with " hasty Another phone of ground " registration, so as to by simply initiating special dialing procedure come for TPA events on any wireless device It " is deputized " by the persistent period.For example, the first respondent can be dialed quilt using the wireless device of TPA is registered with The number of the wireless device of " deputizing " and then dials * 272 (can use any dialing prefix or postscript).As MSC 104 When receiving this calling, * 272 prefixes or postscript are identified as indicating that dialed number is considered to be authorized to the nothing of TPA temporarily Line equipment, it is allowed to which it is stored in unique ID of called wireless mobile apparatus for tracking such interim data for being authorized to TPA In storehouse.Using this ability, the first respondent can quickly move through calling their number one or more volunteers are referred to It is set to agency.

In yet another embodiment, its status have increased to pre-registration TPA service or the titular grades of PIN it is tight Anxious response personnel may remain the first emergency personnel of emergency scene.User can use his/her non-pre-registration Wireless device is initiating * 272 special dialing procedures.The calling can be forwarded to and can issue interim PIN and by wireless device It is added to the PSAP of interim TPA data bases.

Alternately, if user initiates * 272 special dialing (or as 911 similar dialing procedure), this can be called It is forwarded to PSAP.Under large-scale crisis situations, as incoming call amount is big, response PSAP may be disabled or cannot be fast Speed is answered.In such cases, if the response * 272 within the predetermined time frame is not called PSAP, automatically can issue interim TPA is authorized.Due to the PSAP operators environment for issuing that fully analysis is not authorized around interim TPA, so not knowing is It is no suitably to authorize the user for receiving that interim TPA is authorized.Therefore, in the PSAP watch-dogs for possible deexcitation or investigation Can indicate that interim TPA is authorized.

In yet another embodiment, when to realize TPA operation cell area within civilian (that is, non-authorized TPA ) wireless device is when dialling, cellular network is configured to from the wireless device for registering with TPA and (alternatively) quilt temporarily Authorize the call priority of the wireless device of TPA.When such calling is made, MSC 104 is programmed to by being assigned to TPA behaviour The wireless device that call routing is dialled by the communication channel of work.If being assigned the channel of TPA in peak capacity, when from quilt When authorizing the calling of wireless device of TPA to be received for civilian wireless device, another civilian wireless device calling be hung up with Just provide sufficient capacity to complete calling, prevent using associated preemption processes another 911 calling from being hung up.This enforcement Example gives emergency personnel and enters the ability promptly dialed.For example, emergency personnel can carry out callback initially calling 911 using this capacity The common people of report emergency are to ask the renewal from potential witness.Used as another example, the first respondent can exhale It is the volunteer within emergency scene and their phone deputizes, it is ensured that even if otherwise overwhelms communication network Volunteer can also be related to.

Can realize at least two embodiments of present disclosure that TPA is operated.In the first enforcement described referring to Fig. 6 In example, one or more cellular communications channels are exclusively used in TPA callings, provide special message capacity to emergency personnel, and will be surplus Under channel leave general public for.In the second embodiment described referring to Fig. 7, only when the communication for being assigned TPA is believed When road reaches capacity, just realize that calling is seized for TPA callings.These embodiments described separately below.

Fig. 6 illustrates the step of the first embodiment of the TPA that can be used to realize the available computing device operation with processor The process streams of rapid example.In the normal operation period, monitors for cellular communication network call volume (frame 201).Especially, cellular communication Calling network amount (access request quantity or use in bandwidth) by with predetermined threshold value (the 85% of such as maximum capacity) Compare (frame 202).If call volume be less than predetermined threshold, it is assumed that normal condition exist, then monitor process return to frame 201 with Continue monitoring calling amount.If however, call volume (access request quantity or use in bandwidth) more than predetermined threshold when, Abnormal conditions are present, and this can be shown that emergency is launched.In order to get ready to emergency, Internet resources are (such as special Determine the communication channel on antenna for base station) be divided and (frame 203) is reserved for TPA is used.By to TPA using automatically dividing With communication channel, the system allows access of the wireless device acquisition for being authorized to TPA to network, even if working as network otherwise During overload.However, TPA is seized just occurring until the caller with TPA qualifications attempts access to the network for transshipping.

Due to increased call volume may or in response to emergency, may not distribute to the communication channel of TPA after Continuous normal operation, is called with common formal layout civilian (that is, non-TPA).In increased call volume only due to coincidence In the case that network request and the user without TPA qualifications just attempt place calls, it is not necessary to which the calling realized by TPA is robbed Account for.Therefore, TPA threshold values can be exceeded, even and if TPA is also realized when there is no actual emergency.The reality that TPA is seized Realize until the first respondent, time delay requires that the service increased the reliability of network in normal circumstances.

Can notify that system actual emergency occurs, by dial within impacted cell area TPA calling The emergency response personnel of authorized TPA is indicated.When the communication channel is that cellular system is (either in base station under TPA patterns Place, BSC/RNC/MSC or in middle position, such as NOC) monitoring incoming call and de-electrifying calling, it is any urgent to determine whether Response personnel just using pre-registration TPA wireless device or have been completed the special dialing procedure (frame for calling TPA to seize 204).If not having emergency response personnel to initiate calling using the wireless device or special dialing procedure of authorized TPA, System can continue to monitor access request (in frame 204) and call volume (in frame 201) to determine whether to release from TPA operations Put communication channel (frame 202).

If initiating calling by being authorized to the wireless device of TPA, or if the wireless device from non-predetermined registration making The calling is generated with * 272 dialing procedures, TPA (frame 205) is initiated.Frame 205, when initiate TPA, only earlier registration or give " hastily " emergency personnel for permitting will be allowed to access Internet resources divided and reserved.As indicated above, will Generally TPA can be realized in single communication channel first, leave remaining channel for general public use.Then, if TPA is using super The capacity of the Internet resources for being assigned TPA is crossed, another resource TPA operations can be converted into.By once by a channel or The Internet resources of one resource are exclusively used in emergency personnel's use, and remaining Internet resources are stayed to be made for non-essential general public With.Additionally, by by Internet resources be exclusively used in emergency personnel communication, emergency personnel can send on their wireless device with Receive calling.

In an optional embodiment, when TPA is initiated (frame 205), MSC 104 can be investigated positioned at impacted cell Or the wireless device 101 serviced by other antenna for base station 102 within the identical BSC/RNC 103, it is all registered to identify Or provisional registration the first respondent.They can be with these first respondents can be advised via SMS message (or additive method) (frame 206) is serviced using TPA by place calls or using special dialing procedure.

In another alternative embodiment, base station 102, BSC/RNC 103 or MSC 104 can be with to impacted areas/little All non-emergent wireless device 101a-101g within area 100 sends message, it is proposed that they avoid the wireless device using them 101a-101g, except outer for urgent 911 callings and instruction has notified emergency services (frame 207).This messaging can be with By the PSAP of responsible event zone, by local event order and control authorities or by Internet Service Provider's initiation.Can be via SMS Message or other means of communication are transmitting such message.The system can also notify to be connected to distribute to TPA before calling is disconnected The caller of the channel for using their calling is just terminated.

As emergency continuation expansion and extra emergency response personnel occur at the scene, it may be required that extra net Network resource is supporting that emergency personnel communicates.Therefore, Internet resources divided and special can be monitored determine whether should be by volume Outer Internet resources are divided and are distributed to TPA.This can by by the call volume on Internet resources divided and special with Predefined maximum or minimum threshold is compared relatively to complete (frame 208).If call volume exceedes predefined maximum (to indicate to add Acute situation), such as 25% use of being divided in cell site/sector and special Internet resources can will be extra special TPA operations (frame 211) is divided into Internet resources, is communicated with allowing emergency response personnel.

In one embodiment, terminating calling to operate before distributing extra channel to TPA, warning tones can used And/or recording pronunciation notifies non-essential (that is, the non-emergent people with the calling or session just carried out with the channel for being distributed Member) wireless device 101 terminating they calling except non-input definition code (frame 210).This allows the first respondent to lead to Cross quick input code (such as their PIN) to maintain their calling.If ongoing calling is urgent 911 calling, Definition code can be provided by PSAP.

In one embodiment, system will continue automatically to obtain and redistribute network money for emergency response personnel communication Source is exclusively used in emergency response personnel use until all available Internet resources.This embodiment will maximize emergency response personnel Communication capacity.It is general to realize that other embodiment can reserve at least most least a portion of Internet resources (for example a, communication channel) The public remind emergency response personnel new or development emergency ability, such as by calling 911 calling.Therefore, other realities Apply example to limit the amount applying maximum for taking and being exclusively used in the Internet resources of emergency response personnel communication from general population away.For complete Into this point, in frame 209, MSC 104 can be determined whether the maximum amount of Internet resources divided and be exclusively used in urgent sound Answer people communication.If divided and special the maximum amount of Internet resources, in frame 208, MSC104 can continue monitoring and divide And the utilization grade of special Internet resources.If be also not reaching to divide and special Internet resources maximum, MSC 104 (alternatively) can inform current caller terminate call (frame 210), and by Internet resources from general population using to (frame 211) is redistributed in emergency response personnel communication.Once special extra communication channel, MCS 104 will return monitoring The utilization grade of Internet resources divided and special is determining that emergency is just at upgrade or downgrade (frame 208).

Work to mitigate emergency and return to normally situation, the needs to Internet resources with emergency response personnel To reduce as emergency personnel withdraws scene.To enable a system to return to normal operating, MSC 104 can be upgrade or downgrade Indicate continuously monitoring divide and special Internet resources on call volume (frame 208).When network divided and special The service rating of resource falls below predefined minima, and MSC 104 can start for Internet resources to redistribute back general public affairs It is many to use (frame 212).Internet resources can be redistributed automatically one channel of a channel, gradually reduce to emergency personnel and use The resource distributed, in a step-wise fashion returns to normal operating.

Internet resources are disbanded by one at a time channel or Internet resources, be this embodiment offers The communication system of condition development.If situation requires the more or less of Internet resources for emergency personnel's communication, the embodiment System and method disclosure satisfy that demand, while also provide some Internet resources using for general public.The system can be special in TPA Adapted to during event tapers off the stage in emergency personnel's use with waiting for a period of time after each release of channel Surge, so as to avoid must unnecessarily repeat drop calls person process (frame 210).

Once cellular communications channel be reassigned to general public use, MSC 104 determine whether it is any more Many Internet resources (frame 213) for currently dividing and being exclusively used in emergency personnel's communication.If current divide extra Internet resources And emergency personnel's communication is exclusively used in, 104 returns frames 208 of MSC are come to determine emergency be just to upgrade or degrading.With urgent Situation further degrades and returns normally, and emergency response personnel requires Internet resources less and less to support their communication. Therefore, MSC 104 will proceed to respond to Internet resources are re-assigned to general public's use (frame 212) automatically in call volume, Until all of Internet resources are in the normal operative configuration used for general public.MSC 104 can return to frame 201 And the call volume for waiting next emergency can be monitored.

In a second embodiment, shown in the process flow in Fig. 7, by calling preempt-mode in each call class On Internet resources are incrementally assigned to TPA using so as to while emergency personnel's use requirement is met by the public of network Access and maximize.In the normal operation period, monitors for cellular communication network uses (frame 302).Can be by network insertion request, call volume Or the bandwidth in use is compared (frame 304) with predetermined threshold value (such as the 85% of maximum capacity).If be used below pre- Fixed threshold value, it is assumed that there are normal condition, therefore monitor process returns frame 302 to continue monitoring calling amount.If however, using super Predetermined threshold value is crossed, abnormal conditions are present, and this may indicate that emergency is launched.In order to get ready to emergency, will The Internet resources of the communication channel such as on impacted antenna for base station are divided and reserve (frame 306) for TPA is used.By to Using automatically allocation of communication channels, the system allows access of the wireless device acquisition for being authorized to TPA to network to TPA, even if When network otherwise transships.However, TPA is seized attempts access to the network for transshipping until the caller with TPA qualifications Just occur.

Because increased call volume in response to emergency, may or may not distribute to the communication channel of TPA continues logical Cross to process civilian (that is, non-TPA) and call with common form and carry out normal operation.In increased call volume simply due to coincidence calling In the case of amount is caused and just attempts place calls without TPA qualification users, it is not necessary to which the calling realized by TPA is seized.Cause This, even if TPA threshold values can be exceeded and TPA is also realized when not requiring that TPA is called and seized.The actual realization that time delay TPA is seized Until the first respondent requires to seize the reliability that increased network in normal circumstances.

With the Internet resources for distributing to TPA operations, no matter cellular system is (in base station, BSC/RNC or in such as MSC In heart position) monitor incoming call and de-electrifying calling (frame 308).The channel for being assigned TPA continues to believe as normal cellular communications Road come operate until (a) channel in peak capacity (that is, by the active calls amount of channel be equal to its maximum capacity) and B the wireless device of () with TPA qualifications attempts access to network to dial or receive calling.Monitor and believe in the communication for being assigned TPA Call volume on road with determine whether must drop calls to connect the calling with TPA qualifications.Therefore, when reception will also divide When dispensing is assigned new calling (incoming call is de-electrifying) of the channel of TPA, system can first determine that whether the channel is currently in most High power capacity (that is, with calling connections many as can securely maintaining such as channel) (frame 310).If channel is not in most (that is, there is surplus capacity) in high power capacity on network, can call establishment (frame 315).If there is the capacity of abundance on channel Come the connection for realizing sending a telegram here or de-electrifying TPA is called, this monitoring of TPA channels can prevent to disconnect civilian calling.

As discussed above, system can pass through whether determination source or purpose wireless device are to register with wirelessly setting for TPA Standby (frame 312) and calling be whether by the caller for completing special dialing procedure make recognizing exhaling for authorized TPA Cry.Dialing procedure can call TPA to seize (frame 316).In frame 315, can call establishment.For example, if caller just use (or By call placement to) register with the wireless device of TPA, can call establishment.If be connected with least on the channel for be assigned TPA One non-TPA calling, then can call establishment (frame 314), and discharge capacity and call (frame 315) to being enough to connect TPA.This permission The first respondent with TPA qualifications is called with no delay, even if network is in peak capacity.Similarly, if will Incoming call is directed to the wireless device with TPA qualifications, terminates at least one non-TPA callings so as in the future on TPA channels Electric calling connection is to the wireless device with TPA qualifications.The process for terminating non-TPA calling from the channel for being distributed can be with It is more to continue to the calling access network of the wireless device with TPA qualifications.If caller is not currently in use registers with TPA Phone and be not input into * 272 type dial trains, then when system is in peak capacity, the now calling can be used as non-tight Call on urgently to cry and be prevented from (frame 320).If caller has been input into special dial train (such as * 272 plus PIN), by input PIN is compared (frame with the PIN value for being stored in (such as at base station 102, BSC/RNC 103 or MSC 104) in data base 318).If the emergency personnel of PIN match registration, non-TPA callings (frame 314) is connected on the channel for be assigned TPA, to release Put capacity to be enough to connect TPA callings (frame 315).

System can also monitor the call volume (frame 322) being assigned on the channel of TPA, to ensure that the capacity for leaving abundance comes Adapt to further emergency personnel to require.Can by the TPA call volumes being assigned in the communication channel of TPA (that is, to/from having The call volume of the wireless device of TPA qualifications) compare to determine when to TPA using another communication of distribution with the threshold value in frame 322 Channel.If it exceeds TPA call volume threshold values (that is, testing 322="Yes"), will distribute another channel to TPA functional blocks 306, this Described above.

Can continue to monitor each TPA call volume (frame 322) being assigned on the channel of TPA, and on all channels Call volume (frame 324).This can be determined when no longer to make TPA callings, such as when solve emergency and the first respondent from Will occur when opening scene or when total call volume is returned to and is no longer required for the level of TPA operations.If call volume continues super The TPA threshold values are crossed, and system can continue at least one channel to be operated with TPA patterns, receive calling (frame 308), check that TPA channels are exhaled The amount of crying (frame 310), and call establishment (frame 315), if the calling be from/to authorized TPA wireless device (frame 312) or If call volume is less than capacity.As TPA call volumes decline, can be reduced by discharging TPA channels and distribute to TPA operations The quantity (frame 326) of channel.Monitoring calling amount and from TPA distribution release channel will be continued until that all communication channels are returned to Normal operating.If additionally, the call volume on non-TPA channels is rolled back normally, system can be on all distribution channels of deexcitation TPA operation, seize without TPA as the normal capacity of network is adapted to the caller with TPA qualifications.

This second embodiment is allowed can be with access network while to general public affairs with the caller for ensureing each authorized TPA Many forms for providing maximum possibility bandwidth are operating the channel for being assigned TPA.Monitoring TPA channel calls amount allows system to avoid If there is capacity sufficient to realize hanging up civilian calling during the connection of new incoming call or de-electrifying TPA callings on channel.If Calling is initiated using the wireless device or special dialing procedure that are authorized to TPA without emergency response personnel, system can continue monitoring Access request (frame 308), and call volume (frame 324), determining whether should be from TPA operations release communication channel (frame 326).

Extra embodiment provides the access of the priorization to TPA special Internet resources to call limit priority Person can use cellular communications networks.In the case where the quantity of emergency responder can exceed the capacity of cellular network resource, this Embodiment can make the user such as state leader of high priority and floor manager sense enough seize other more low priority users, so as to Obtain the instant access to network.High-priority users can acquire network using the wireless device of their pre-registration Access.Can be using unique ID of their wireless device come the priority of determination user in the data base from unique ID.Class As, high-priority users from PIN database can determine use with for network (such as MSC 104) using special dialing procedure The priority at family provides the code or PIN of insufficient information and themselves is identified to network.It is excellent using what is determined from data base First level value, (for example, 104) whether MSC can determine current caller with having been coupled to be assigned than any to network The higher priority of calling of the Internet resources of TPA.Assume suitably authorized wireless devices 101, calling can be given and be assigned The priority in queue on the Internet resources of TPA, so that the emergency personnel member of the wireless device using pre-registration mandate can Calling can be completed.If Internet resources are in peak capacity, can hang up from exhaling with the more people of low priority grade Cry to be available sufficient capacity to complete calling.

Fig. 8 shows the example hierarchical of emergency response personnel.Various other configurations is possible and potentially includes other Personnel, and personnel role or status can be based on event and change, for example, army commander 302 may undertake administrative leader Role etc..As shown in figure 8, can give administrative leaders and policy development person 301 highest precedence.The member of this rank can Pre-registration their wireless device 101 so as to by the unique identifier storage of wireless device 101 in hierarchical database.If will Call from the wireless device of any pre-registration and dial into the member of administrative leader and policy development person's rank 301, first drawn Place calls in any queue of Internet resources divide and special.Similarly, can be to disaster response/military order or control people Member 302 provides time high priority levels, be followed by publilc health, safety, and law compulsion perform order 303, public service/ Communal facility and public welfare 304, and disaster response teams 305.The other priority of even lower level is provided to a line police With fireman 306 and Emergency Medical Technicians 307.In all situations, wireless device can be by pre-registration, so can be by The PIN of their unique identifiers and/or user is stored in hierarchical database to support this embodiment.

It is also possible to use " switch on the wheel " cellular communication system that can be disposed and realize previous embodiment in the cellular system.By In such system can be realized in extensive urgent/disaster scenario, by access restriction to emergency responder and order authorities, network Transship and excessive (that is, the non-civilian) user being authorized to of comfortable synchronization place calls will occur.To ensure in such situation In reliably communicate, on the wheel that can be disposed switch can realize caller's priority embodiment so that have highest it is preferential The caller of level (such as countries and regions commanding officer) with the access ensured to cellular communication, and what lowest priority was authorized to User can be disconnected, if desired.In this embodiment, can be in the server on it can dispose wheel within switch Maintain the data base of the authorized user of instruction each priority (level) grade (for example, shown in Fig. 8).

Previous embodiment is described as by MSC 104 realizing.It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that front State embodiment to realize within the multiple computer exchange system elements within cellular communications networks, including but not limited to base station 102nd, BSC/RNC 103 or NOC.The monitoring of call volume within communication channel and cell is automatically carried out.Can be by this Class system reprogramming come realize previous embodiment so that automatically carry out TPA operation realization.Therefore, system can be certainly Recognize when call volume exceedes threshold value so that allocation of communication channels should be operated to TPA dynamicly.The system further can be known The calling of not above-mentioned authorized TPA and private network resource and automatically carry out above-mentioned calling connection and disconnect.It is similar Ground, as call volume drops to below TPA threshold levels, network automatically can be returned to normal configuration by system.With this side Formula, cellular communications networks can be to emergency responses such that it is able to realize the communication of guarantee for emergency personnel without Very important person is action or interference.For example, even if unreported event (such as no one worry about dial 911), system will be still in response to mistake Surplus call volume come enable emergency responder use network.This ability also ensures that police, fire-fighting and EMT personnel (may be authorized to Realize the typical crowd of TPA) cellular communications networks can be used during the time that peak uses, such as gathering around on a highway After stifled period or main sport event terminate.

For realizing that the hardware of previous embodiment can be arranged to treatment element and storage for execute instruction collection Device element, the wherein instruction set are performed for the method and step corresponding to above method.Such process and memory component can With adopt the computer operation used in the heart and remote facility (such as base station antenna positions) in cellular communications switch, The form of server, work station and other computer systems.Some steps can be performed by being exclusively used in the circuit of given function Or method.

Partial frequency spectrum of the wireless device using radio frequency (RF) frequency spectrum for being exclusively used in cellular telephone communication.This RF spectrum is just with fast Rhythm reduces, quantity mainly due to the increase of the wireless device using the RF bandwidth for having had burden and in the market band The distribution of wide poor efficiency.As total RF spectrum is limited, with the growth of the number of users of RF spectrum, it is desirable to more efficiently RF spectrum management method ensureing suitably to solve the demand of the growth for RF spectrum.

Worked as to divide between cellular service provider based on static distribution model such as presumption model and classic license transaction Front available RF spectrum.The static distribution model of present practice divides to provider in the frequency and space block of definition by permission Order with frequency spectrum and control program.For example, a kind of static method for renting RF spectrum includes transporting to one based on hiring agreement Battalion business assigns whole frequency spectrum blocks or sub-block for their exclusive use.Such frequency spectrum in batch distribution be it is inefficient because The provider for securing permission can buy the frequency spectrum in the supposition of future usage based on frequency spectrum.

However, frequency spectrum using and flow be it is dynamic and may depend on including the temporal information using frequency spectrum and using should The different variables in the geographical position of the wireless device of frequency spectrum.Flow, can be in height due to using using being depending on the time Change relative to off-peak period during peak.As subscriber is using the position also alterable of network, flow can also be based on geography.Example Such as, in one day, when the positive work traveling of subscriber, when working or return from work or during the quitting time, on network Frequency spectrum based on the time and geography use alterable.

Because frequency spectrum is used and flow is dynamic and unpredictable, there is provided business is by prediction with regard to its future usage Frequency spectrum resource can inevitably be wasted.Therefore, the real time data with regard to flow rate mode is not considered by current spectral allocative decision Come in, encourage under the utilization and subdivision of frequency spectrum, and by guard band and the feature kimonos of bandwidth throttling or bandwidth intensive The realization of business creates further inefficiency.

Various embodiment method and systems there is provided for by using real time data dynamic management RF spectrum availability, Distribution, the dynamic spectrum for accessing and using arbitration (DSA) system.Currently, the prediction based on future usage is in frequency and space License is bought RF spectrum and need not be taken real time data into account.DSA communication systems make RF spectrum be based on frequency, space (i.e., Geographic area) and the time it is available, it thus provides flexible and dynamic frequency spectrum pipe is compared with control method with current static order Reason method and system.As RF spectrum resource is available based on time, frequency and space, distributed by DSA communication systems Frequency spectrum can be used for short-term lease and interference-free.The short-term lease of frequency spectrum can increase the competition in given market segment and carry Ability of the spectral efficient without the transmission service of negative effect operator.By efficiently and dynamically management of frequency spectrum can use Property, distribution, access and use, DSA communication systems can actually increase the availability of RF spectrum.

In one embodiment, DSA communication systems can be the independent business of the provider for being under the jurisdiction of participation.Such In scene, the component of DSA communication systems can be the integrated unit for participating in network provider to allow provider to monitor them Resource vs. bandwidth traffic and determine whether they need or can provide extra resource.The non-integration of DSA communication systems Component can manage comprehensive exchange of the resource between the provider of participation.May include to optimize business using the benefit of DSA communication systems The use of the more extensive and more efficient bandwidth on physics (geography) and time basis of industry income and offer.

In one embodiment, DSA communication systems are subscribed to by the provider by requiring to participate in, and DSA communication systems are capable of achieving Distribution/access RF spectrum resource.For example, subscription can be based on pricing arrangements.As the participant of DSA communication systems, RF can be made Frequency spectrum request provider can by according to they for the demand of bandwidth and they to pay " swimming of its preparation for doing in frequency spectrum The inner and outer slip in road (swim lanes) " comes using any available RF spectrum." swimming lane " of one frequency spectrum will be carried by one For the RF spectrum bandwidth that business has/controls.

To participate in DSA communication systems, one or more operators can initially agree to allow to enter its frequency spectrum in the market Places will be used.DSA communication systems can enable each provider buy available frequency spectrum or bid in the network of provider To sell extra frequency spectrum to buyer provider.

In one embodiment, DSA communication systems can determine that the subscriber's wireless device 101 using secondary network and cluster Compatibility.If subscriber device can be competent at, incompatible Radio Access Network (RAN) can be used.Therefore, if wireless device 101 have access to different RAN, and DSA communication systems can facilitate these equipment accesses from the frequency spectrum of other RAN, even if exchanging Machine is between incompatible RAN.DSA communication systems are based on strategy and can be that frequency spectrum and capacity management provide uniqueness Implementation.DSA communication systems can be based on Long Term Evolution (LTE), Evolution-Data Optimized or only evolution data (EVDO), evolution High-speed packet accesses (HSPA) and any of wireless access platform.

Fig. 9 illustrates the communication component of the embodiment DSA communication system in the wireless access platform based on Long Term Evolution LTE Figure 90 0.DSA communication systems may include dynamic spectrum strategy controller (DPC) 902, and the controller is connected to can be with provider The home subscriber servers (HSS) 904 communicated by the networking component of network.HSS 904 can be a main user data storehouse, The data base supports dynamic spectrum strategy controller (DPC) 902.HSS 904 can include that subscribing to related information (that is, subscribes to Profile), perform certification and simultaneously authorize Secondary Users, it is possible to optionally provide the information and IP information of position with regard to subscriber.HSS 904 (SAE) that can include user subscribe to data, and such as EPS subscribes to QoS files or any access restriction for roaming.It may be used also Keep, storage or retain the information that PDN thereon is may be coupled to regard to user.This can adopt APN (APN) (this It is the label of the DNS UNCs according to the access point for being described to PDN) or PDN addresses are (with indicating one or more IP of subscription Location) form.Additionally, HSS 904 keeps multidate information, such as user to be currently connected to the mobile management registered thereon or at which The identity of entity (" MME ").HSS 904 can be generated for certification and safety with Integrated Authentication center (AUC), the authentication center The vector of key.

HSS 904 can be connected to 7 (SS7) 906 of signal server.Can be by 902 He of dynamic spectrum strategy controller (DPC) HSS 904 is all connected to the Internet 106.HSS 904 independently can be communicated with the network inner assembly of network via SS7 networks 906.

DPC 902 can also be by business or privately owned cellular carrier 903 and dynamic spectrum controller (DSC) 910 or direct Business or privately owned operator is not used to communicate with the networking component of network provider by DSC 910.Can be by DSC910 groups Part is added to for participating in the networking component of DSA communication systems the network that can be communicated with OMC/NMS 910.In each embodiment In, 910 components of DSC can be included to the wired or nothing of policy control and fees policy function (PCRF) 905 components/server Line connects.

The availability of frequency spectrum resource

In various embodiments, DSA communication systems can enable frequency spectrum provider monitor and assess its RF spectrum use And availability, and make untapped RF spectrum be available for other providers or the user (that is, Secondary Users) not subscribed to use. DSA communication systems can provide different methods to determine RF spectrum availability, such as position and database lookup, signal detector and Frequency spectrum uses beacon.DSA communication systems can be identified for that can provider's (mainframe network) and be available for another provider or offer Agree the frequency spectrum resource that family (Secondary Users) uses, such as every use or it is per minute on the basis of payment.

In one exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, DSA communication systems 900 can enable the network to determine RF resources Availability.In each network or sub-network, DSC 910 can pass through 912 monitoring calling flows of OMC/NMS to receive in real time The detailed status of various network elements and do not insert another equipment to network.DSC 910 can be based on the state of existing business, meter The flow margin drawn and system strategy perform the QoS based on strategy determine so as to determine network or sub-network whether there is resource come For the secondary resource for using distribution or requirement from another provider.

DSC 910 may be configured with software to communicate with regard to the available of frequency spectrum resource to DPC 902 using capacity policy standard The data of property.The data of DPC 902 of communicating may include to be related to current surplus capacity and the expected future of network or sub-network The data of capacity.

Route：DSA communication systems are configured for ensureing that based on bearer traffic and available Internet resources be clothes Make sure with optimum route.

Safety：DSA communication systems are configured for providing peace for traffic flow by dividing the flow into multiple tunnels Entirely so as to the cross action for ensureing not having information.

Classification：DSA communication systems are configured for coordinating hierarchy plan, including are prioritized and operator's usage charges And other metering process.

The distribution of DSA telecommunication system resources can be based on distinct methods, method that the is method such as without country and having country.Pass through Using different distribution methods, DSA communication systems can enable provider need to customize based on their respective frequency spectrum flows Frequency spectrum distributes and utilizes.Method without country can relate to coordinate frequency spectrum use on a real-time basis between networks.There is country Method may include to follow the time interval of definition to store and forward frequency spectrum resource.RF frequencies can further be distributed on an as-needed basis Spectrum resource, this can be based on bandwidth/traffic requirement promise to undertake and peak value.The flexible of maximum can be allowed based on the distribution method for needing Property and spectrum utilization.DSA communication systems can further using just timely distribution method enables provider to distribute frequency spectrum money Source.By just adopting timely distribution method, DSA communication systems can be that given market is improved comprehensive spectrum utilization and is Cellular carrier provides income source.

In one embodiment, DSA communication systems can provide order and control function to be embodied as entirely permitting area or be The son of definition permits area and for certain time limit rents frequency spectrum.For example, DSA communication systems can be facilitated using sub- frequency spectrum block method Frequency spectrum resource distributes, the ability with the frequency spectrum for increasing or decreasing dynamic consumption.For example, multiple different communication networks can be to Identical user distributes frequency spectrum.

As shown in Figure 9, the component such as DPC 902 for not being to provide the DSA communication systems of a part for business's network can be managed Frequency spectrum distribution between heterogeneous networks or sub-network.

In one embodiment, it is to make for primary user by distributing currently assigned that DSA communication systems can enable mainframe network Resource allocation supply Secondary Users use.In this scene, the frequency spectrum that Secondary Users are linked into mainframe network can be authorized to hold Amount or resource, the existing active volume regardless of mainframe network.

Management and tactical management

DSA communication systems can be based on predetermined rule and parameter manipulation, and the rule and parameter can be based on channel availabilities Statistics.For example, operation ruless can enable DSA communication systems monitor to RF spectrum at any given time access grade with permit Perhaps system determines whether capacity can be used for distributing.

As described above, can pass through to follow by business arrangement, equipment compatibility, goal systems RAN and capacity and be asked The DSA communication system components (such as DPC 902 and DSC 910) of the rule of service definition carry out resource allocation.

Fig. 9 further shows a kind of network architecture 900 for realizing the embodiment method of DSA tactical managements.DSA communicates System may call for participant in accordance with management rule and strategy.

When realizing that DSA is tactful, participate in network policy control and fees policy function (PCRF) 905 can provide strategy and Service controll rule andPolicy control network (RPCN) can require to provide strategy based on DSA rules and DPC 902 Change and correct.PCRF can be responsible for policy control and determine to formulate, and control is based in policy control perform function (PCEF) The charging functionality of stream, the policy control perform function are resided in PGW.PCRF provides QoS and authorizes (QoS level identifier [QCI] and bit rate), the QoS is authorized and is determined a certain data flow how will be treated in PCEF and ensure data flow and authorize phase Accord with and meet the own subscription profile of user.RPCN can be a part of each network DSC 910.RPCN can be also to may link to The public safety user of business system further maintains hotlist (Hot List).

For example, when the resource exhaustion of mainframe network, network PCRF 905/RPCN can instruct mainframe network take action to for The preferred, users of home network recover extra resource.The instruction sent by PCRF 905/RPCN may be used to determine needs and take Carry out the process of the action using release resource for preferred, users.For example, PCRF 905/RPCN instruction can reduce Secondary Users without Line equipment 101 or some application QoS or Secondary Users' wireless device 101 is got rid of from network based on condition set.When by reducing Managing during the grade of its resource, mainframe network is capable of achieving time slot distribution to flow.

The optional sub-component of some of EPC may include MME 914 (Mobility Management Entity), and this is for LTE access networks Key control node, and idle pulley UE (user equipment) tracking and paging, including re-transmission can be responsible for, and may participate in and hold Carry activation/deactivation process and be also responsible in initial attachment and be related to switching in the LTE of core net (CN) node migration Time is that UE chooses SGW.MME 914 can be responsible for being authenticated (by interacting with HSS) user.Non-Access Stratum (NAS) signaling Terminate in MME 914 and can also be responsible for generating and to UE distribution temporary identities.MME 914 can check the mandate of UE to preempt clothes The PLMN (PLMN) of business provider simultaneously enforces UE roaming restrictions.SGW 922 (gateway) can route and Forwarding user data package, while the mobile anchor point between eNodeB during switching for user plane is also served as, and as use In the mobile anchor point between LTE and other 3GPP technologies.PGW 908 (PDN Gateway) is by leaving as the flow for UE Point and inlet point provide the connection from UE to external packet data networks.UE can simultaneously with the company with more than one PGW 908 Connect for accessing multiple PDN.HSS 926 can be a central database, the central database comprising with user-dependent letter The breath information related to subscription.The function of HSS 926 includes that such as mobile management, calling and session establishment are supported, user recognizes Card and insertion authority.ANDSF 918 (access network discovery and selection function) is relevant to 3GPP and non-3 GPP access to UE offers The information that network (such as Wi-Fi) connects.The purpose of ANDSF 918 is to facilitate UE to find access network in its vicinity, and provides rule Then (strategy) is to be prioritized and manage the connection of these networks.Network 900 can also include the ePDG (grouped datas of evolution Gateway) so that it is guaranteed that with the UE data transmission securities that EPC is connected to by incredible non-3 GPP access network.

DSA communication systems strategy and management can with those the attribute identical attributes found in commercial network.So And, in DSA communication systems, QoS and the combination of dynamic spectrum arbitration/distribution of policy-driven can both improve main and secondary Both (for example, lessor and tenant) availability of frequency spectrums can reduce holistic cost again.

In one embodiment DSA system, it can be the specific grade of every session, every " pipeline ", every user or user's group Internet resources Provisioning Policy/management.Strategy may also refer to priority, such as obtain the urgent call of limit priority, or preference, such as Allow the quality of the ongoing calling of degradation or refuse new calling when congestion is close to.DSA strategies and management can also be called Can be used to facilitate the daily strategy of the Optimization route for certain types of communication session and service supply.

Access the Resources allocation of another network

In one embodiment, DSA communication systems can manage the access of the available RF spectrum resource of user-to-network.Example Such as, DSA communication systems can manage Secondary Users to the access of the frequency spectrum resource for distributing to the secondary master host network for using.

Secondary Users can using different methods such as by the person that serves as animated walk-through or using and compatible access technology association The Spectrum Scheme of tune is accessing the frequency spectrum resource of master host network.Master host frequency spectrum resource is accessed Secondary Users are allowed When, DSA communication systems can make ordering for a provider based on different parameters (such as price, the quality of reception, geographic region and position) The frequency spectrum of the home network provider that bandwidth can be subordinated to wireless device 101 by the wireless device 101 at family changes to belonging to main The frequency spectrum of machine network provider.

DSA communication systems can provide access to Secondary Users based on different access conditions.DSA communication systems can or temporarily When ground or share right to provide for the traffic throughput of radio access technologies by the main users with leading provider The access of usable spectrum.Temporarily access and can relate to access the definition frequency spectrum tactful allocated for use based on DSA communication systems. Shared frequency spectrum can relate to allow a provider subscriber on the basis of secondary at host provider access radio-frequency spectrum.

The home network provider of Secondary Users can be using the RF spectrum money distributed of provider based on different methods Dynamically sign a contract in source.For example, leading provider can be auctioned and secondary provider can be then available frequency spectrum resource competitive bidding.It is competing Mark can be the process based on expense；Can relate to reselling efficiently for untapped frequency spectrum is managed on the basis of temporarily or permanently Ground managed at that time otherwise untapped superfluous resource；Or the rent of superfluous RF spectrum is managed on the basis of temporarily or permanently With.

Figure 10 shows the network architecture of two radio network providers for carrying out share spectrum resources using DSA communication systems 1000.DSA communication systems can include two general purpose modules：Network is outer and network inner assembly.The outer group of the network of DSA communication systems Part may include the DPC 902 for being connected to HSS 904.DPC 902 can enable DSA communication systems dynamically manage to divide network The access of the frequency spectrum resource matched somebody with somebody.For example, DPC 902 can manage the Secondary Users of network provider to major networks provider point The access of the frequency spectrum resource matched somebody with somebody.

DPC 902 can further coordinate DSA communication systems strategy and carry out relevant information between network provider It is shared.DPC 902 can further contribute to charging policy and can be with the resource request of network service.

DPC 902 is configured for participating in 910 groups of DSC in the network of provider by each DSA communication system (for example, 2) network 1 and network communicate part with one or several networks.In one embodiment, each network 1 and network 2 can Including DSC 910a, 910b, its can arrive cellular carrier online management center/NMS (OMC/NMS) 912a, The add-on assemble of 912b.In each network, DSC 910a, 910b can manage the flow and capacity of each network and be based on from The order of the reception of DPC 902 or its strategy and rule set capacity-constrained continuously monitor node.DSC 910 can be by its discovery Communicate to DPC 910.

Each network may include OMC/NMS 912a, 912b, and which can be communicated with wireless network 1002a, 1002b.Wireless network Network 1002a, 1002b can be communicated with radio access node 102a, 102b.Subscriber's wireless device 101 can be with radio access node 102a, 102b communicate.The relation of these components of network and interconnection are known.

In one embodiment, the DSC 910a of network 1 can determine that network 1 may require extra resource.Network 1 DSC 910a are configured for DPC 902 sending the request for extra resource.DPC 902 can be received with regard to secondary Want the information of consumer wireless device 101a position and network.

DPC 902 may be configured to the number for also receiving the DSC 910b from other attached network Tathagata automatic networks 2 According to.The DSC 910b of network 2 can be further configured to can be used for network 2 for the resource that specified amount is reported to DPC 902 In.

DPC 902 is configured for processing from request network (that is, network 1) and supply network (that is, network 2) and connects The data of receipts and facilitate the resource of real-time access network 2 by asking network 1.Once make the frequency spectrum resource for carrying out automatic network 2 can For the access of the user by network 1, DSC 910a can instruct wireless device 101a and change network and access what is provided by network 2 Frequency spectrum resource.For example, when the wireless device 101a request communication resources of network 1, its can be verified by the DSC 910 of network 2 Rule set.Network 2 can receive the fresh information of wireless device 101a in PCRF 905 (shown in Fig. 9).Using other platforms PCRF 905 can allow the resource distributed of Secondary Users wireless device 101a access networks 2.

In one embodiment, master may also depend upon to the accessibility of the resource of Secondary Users by DSA communication systems Machine network operator policy and the use standard for those resources.The standard may include wirelessly to be electrically accessed and provide with core network Both sources.

For example, some strategies and resource criterion for being applied by mainframe network operator may include：Availability (the example of frequency spectrum Such as, separate or exist jointly)；The availability (for example, RF and core) of capacity/bandwidth；Cost criteria (for example, total active volume The percentage ratio of the capacity for vs. using)；Keep out of the way the presence (for example, gravity treatment, switching (in system and between system), termination) of standard；It is right Treat (how to treat/route specific service/application)；Forbid treating (for example, prohibit the use of service/application)；Classification is (for example, How service is classified, i.e. for non-peak uses possible channel discount)；(for example, definition will be included for geographical frontier Region or cell)；Time (for example, defines time and date to be included)；Persistent period is (for example, based on time and geography Boundary definition increment distributes)；User device type.

DSA communication systems can enable secondary network ask frequency spectrum resource based on herein below：Time (for example, when please Seek resource)；Required capacity/bandwidth；Treat (for example, it is desirable to what service, including QoS)；Geographical frontier is (for example, at which In request service)；With persistent period (for example, how long asking resource).

In one embodiment, the communication for being performed by DSC 910a, 910b can be transparent to Secondary Users.Another In individual embodiment, communication can not be transparent.

Figure 11 displayings can pass through third party or frequency spectrum handled by frequency spectrum clearance is communicated using embodiment DSA with data on flows Networking component Figure 110 0 of system.The outer component 1102 of the network of DSA communication systems may include multiple sub-components, such as DPC902 (Fig. 9 Shown in).DPC 902 can be communicated by the sub-component with core net 1104a, 1104b and be communicated with wireless network 1 and 2.Network Outer component 1102 it is also possible to use the Internet or private network 106 is all communicated with one or two network.For example, DSA communication systems The outer component 1102 of network can be communicated with core net 1104b of network 2 via the Internet 106, while the directly core net with network 1 1104a communicates.Core net 1104a, 1104b may include multiple sub-components, such as DSC 910, Long Term Evolution (LTE), (EVDO), And OMC/NMS 912a (HSPA).

When network 1 becomes that over-burden and when needing extra frequency spectrum resource, core network 1104a is can determine that for frequency The requirement of spectrum simultaneously asks extra frequency spectrum resource from the outer component 1102 of DSA communication system networks.Due to low calling flow, network 2 Can determine that it has the frequency spectrum resource of available excess quantity.Network 2 can also to component outside network 1102 report superfluous resource can The property used.The Internet 106 can be passed through in the outer communication between component 1102 and network 2 of DSA networks.Alternately, the outer component of network 1102 and network 2 can as shown in dotted line 1106 direction communication.The outer component 1102 of DSA networks can facilitate here 1108 institute by a dotted line That what is shown distributes frequency spectrum resource from network 2 to network 1.

Wireless device 101b can access distributed resource by distinct methods.Network 1 can instruct wireless device 101b Network switching is used into distributed resource to the Secondary Users that network 2 is used as on network 2.Alternately, network 2 can be made The resource distributed is available by network 1, enables wireless device 101b to use the resource of network 2 without changing from network 1 To the communication session of network 2.For example, network 1,2 and 3 can be converged and can distribute the frequency spectrum used for multiple entities.

Figure 12 shows the communication system 1200 of one embodiment DSA network.When for some different network services when, DPC 902 can provide main control for arbitrated procedure.DPC 902 may include that the strategy for current distribution and the arbitration depending on the time are advised Then.DSC 910 may be configured to the local pair also with the arbitration rules for the strategy of current distribution and depending on the time This.Strategy and the local replica depending on the arbitration rules of time can ensure to maintain the local control of Internet resources.Additionally, DSC 910a-910c can enter line interface with the network operating system that separation is provided for future network operational issue and be connected Detached platform.

In one embodiment, being the disaster recovery that ensures the system when there is event, DPC 902 can be configured to double Remirror server site (for example, DPC 902a and DPC 902b) or geographically scattered cluster includes some services Device.There can be Virtual network operator 1204a, 1204b, the 1204c to definition pre-approval to protect network, DPC 902a, 902b The safety chain of (for example, frequency spectrum resource provider) and system resource requestor 1206,1208,1210 (for example, suitor).

In the case of the failure of the communication between DPC 902a, 902b and DSC 910a, 910b, 910c, DSC 910a, 910b, 910c may be configured for the local preservation using it strategy and Rule content come maintain via DPC902a, Seriality in the arbitrated procedure that 902b is initiated.However, due to lacking and the connection of DSC 902a, 902b, DSC 910a, 910b, 910c may not facilitate extra new resources to distribute or competitive bidding.To ensure that always remaining local controls, DSC 910a, 910b, 910c can be further configured to for control and locally overriding enables local operator prematurely from secondary use Family terminates or keeps out of the way multiple components and function of resource.

For example, DSC 910a can locally stored any communication DPC 902a, 902b it is tactful and regular.If thus, DPC Communication between 902a, 902b and DSC 910a is compromised after via the competitive bidding of DPC 902a, 902b process, DSC 910a Can continue resource to be provided and Secondary Users need not be terminated to the Secondary Users of suitor 11206.Additionally, when network A 1204a is required More multiple resource come to its own main users provide service when, DSC 910a locally can control Secondary Users from network A shunt With the tactful and regular release resource based on DPC 902a, 902b.

In one embodiment, the process being related in DSA communication systems can be similar with all situations for stream.As schemed Shown in 13A, how they can be used based on network and by the resource classification of frequency spectrum blocks 1300A.To can be used for giving frequency spectrum Resource classification is into the resource, uncertain resource and available resource for taking.The resource of occupancy can currently be made by operator Those resources and may not be to be distributed by DSA communication systems.Uncertain resource can provide surplus for operator Management peak load.Uncertain resource can be used up during peak load and is not used during ebb is loaded.It is available Resource can be the subset of network untapped resource at all.Available resource can be made to can be used for other secondary providers point Match somebody with somebody.

In one embodiment, frequency spectrum resource can be distributed to Secondary Users by distinct methods.Figure 13 B shows are according to one The distribution of the frequency spectrum resource of the frequency spectrum blocks 1300 that embodiment is permitted by mainframe network.Mainframe network can permit to include four channels RF spectrum block 1300a.Three in the four of RF spectrum block channels can be exclusively used in using for 1 subscriber of network by mainframe network. RF spectrum block 1300b is by dedicated channel 1-2 shadowed.As by shown in RF spectrum 1300b, channel 4 can keep not referred to by provider Group.Partly can distribute, partly transition and partly unassigned channel 3, as by shown in frequency spectrum blocks 1300c.Can be in height Used and the transition portion of reserved frequency spectrum blocks 1300c by the subscriber of provider during flow period.Can never using the frequency of license The unassigned part of spectrum 1300c.

In one embodiment, the unassigned part of the frequency spectrum that mainframe network can be using DSA communication systems permitting Subordinate license is to Secondary Users.In this scene, main frame operator can make the unassigned part of channel 3 and all of channel 4 can For Secondary Users.

Figure 14 shows the frequency spectrum resource of the guard band channel of the frequency spectrum 1400 including license according to one embodiment Distribution.The frequency spectrum 1400 of license may include or be defined by operator or reserve as frequency spectrum deployment strategy and program The guard band 1404 for dividing.Such guard band may include current still untapped useful resources.Mainframe network can be logical using DSA Letter system allows Secondary Users using the available resource in guard band.By using DSA, mainframe network can be by protecting Frequency band is combined into the single useful channel 1402 for resource allocation and makes to may be used in untapped guard band resource.

Figure 15 shows the remittance according to one embodiment using the frequency spectrum resource of the more than one mainframe network of DSA communication systems Poly- and distribution.In one embodiment, DSA communication systems are configured for from the different available frequency spectrums of network surveying And converge for distributing by available frequency spectrum.In the exemplary embodiment by shown in frequency spectrum blocks (1), in mainframe network Each is that network A and network B can permit to wrap the frequency spectrum blocks for each including four channels.For example, the frequency spectrum blocks permitted by network A 1502A may include channel 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A.Frequency spectrum blocks 1502B permitted by network B may include channel 1B, 2B, 3B and 4B.

In the exemplary embodiment by shown in frequency spectrum blocks (2), frequency spectrum blocks 1504A of network A may include available channel The channel 3A of 4A and partial assignment.Can partial assignment channel 3A be for Web vector graphic, section transitions and is partly available for other networks to make With.Frequency spectrum blocks 1504B of network B may include the channel 3B of available channel 1B and 4B and partial assignment.Channel 3B can be partly Assign for Web vector graphic, partly transition and partly can be used for other network allocations.

In an exemplary embodiment by shown in frequency spectrum blocks (3), each frequency spectrum blocks of network A and network B 1506A, 1506B can enable their resource be used by using DSA communication systems.DSA communication systems can be converged from each network Gather available resource and assign them to Secondary Users.For example, DSA communication systems can converge available resource in channel 1B and 4B And enable them to be used Secondary Users.DSA communication systems can converge in channel 4A available portion in available resource and channel 3A Point resource and them are made to can be used for Secondary Users.

DSA communication systems can converge available resources for distributing to Secondary Users from heterogeneous networks.In an exemplary reality Apply in example, as shown in frequency spectrum blocks (4), in channel 4A, frequency spectrum blocks 1508A and network B that DSA communication systems can be from network A Channel 1B and 4B, frequency spectrum blocks 1508B converge available resource and make them can be used for Secondary Users.

In one exemplary embodiment, such as by frequency spectrum blocks (5) Suo Shi, the institute that DSA communication systems can be from heterogeneous networks There is channel to converge available resources, including the channel with the resource for supplying Web vector graphic completely and the channel including available resources.DSA Channel 3A and 4A (frequency spectrum blocks 1510A) and channel 1B, 3B and 4B (frequency spectrum blocks of network B that communication system can be from network A 1510B) converge frequency spectrum resource and enable them to be used Secondary Users.

In one embodiment, DSA communication systems can make MVNO (MVNO) can using be not used Spectrum capabilities.Such as multiple MVNO of 902 polymerizables of DPC to utilize untapped spectrum capabilities with prioritisation scheme.This will make MVNO can sell its untapped or unexhausted capacity to another MVNO, so as to the operation for ensureing MVNO is all efficient.

Figure 16 A to 16C show the MVNO spectrum aggregatings according to one embodiment.Figure 16 A show for MVNO A1602A and The distribution of the frequency spectrum of MVNO B 1602B or capacity, two of which operator are owned by unassigned spectrum capabilities.Figure 16 B shows Example embodiment method, can enable MVNO B 1604B by connecing from MVNO A1604A by the method DSA communication system Receive unassigned frequency spectrum to increase or increase its available spectrum capabilities.Figure 16 C show an example embodiment method, lead to Crossing the method DSA communication system can enable a MVNO C 1606C receive from 1606A, 1606B of two others MVNO Extra spectrum capabilities.MVNO C 1606C can be new or extra MVNO and can be from MVNO A and MVNO B 1606A, 1606B are the potential using the available unassigned spectrum capabilities of acquisition of it.In this scene, MVNO A and MVNO B 1606A, 1606B may or may not be operated in identical main frame operator and may or may not be had identical wireless It is electrically accessed technology (RAT).In another embodiment, it is possible to provide change to provide the access between different RAT.

In one embodiment, it is to measure the quantity of resource that Secondary Users use, mainframe network can be used and is used for The similar process of pre-paid subscribers so as to facilitating the secondary time/persistent period for using and using metering, this can individually or Carry out on global charging basis.

Method depending on being used for accessing available resource by Secondary Users, is capable of achieving some bases of DSA distribution methods Type, including：1) virtual optimal effort method；2) virtual Secondary Users' method；With 3) may include to permit area and partial zones frequency spectrum The frequency spectrum distributing method of distribution.Each method in these distribution methods can have some variants.For example, in virtual optimal effort In method, DSA communication systems are configured for making frequency spectrum resource can be used to entirely permit area or in local, sub- license On the basis of area.Can also in the wireless device 101 of user by their home network provider define user rank and can It is assigned or Secondary Users or most preferably makes great efforts User Status.

In one embodiment, virtual optimal effort method can be right by the mandate of the access to involved network MVNO can use.PCRF rules that can be based on home network and mainframe network within mainframe network occur to be prioritized.

In virtual optimal effort method, mainframe network can enable Secondary Users' wireless device 101 use and main frame net Network identical network, but on the basis of virtual, i.e. the arrangement of MVNO types.This different change for arranging may include various feelings Condition, when：1) Secondary Users with mainframe network subscriber's identical authority use mainframe network and 2) Secondary Users as secondary User or main users (main frame subscriber) have than Secondary Users subscriber higher priority and authority it is secondary on the basis of make Use mainframe network.The access priority for main users can be set up in main users are the network of public safety user. During emergency, due to the increase used to its frequency spectrum by the other users of such as public safety primary user, mainframe network can Hang up Secondary Users.

Figure 17 shows the communication system 1700 of the DSA communication systems for Resources allocation according to one embodiment.Such as Figure 17 Shown in, in virtual optimal effort method, can be by the person that regards efficient roaming as of wireless device 101.

In bidding process, DSA communication systems are capable of achieving to can be used to determine for the wireless device for being authorized to access host network Adopted COS, the rule set of the persistent period treated and service.These rule sets can include following information, such as：1) it is asked Capacity/the border asked；2) what is serviced treats, and such as when requires they and QoS；3) the geographical side based on the service asked Boundary；4) ask the time of resource；And 5) Secondary Users by the persistent period using requested resource.It is susceptible to may depend on All or subset of the arbitration scheme using these rules.

In virtual optimal effort method, DSA communication systems can follow industry roam procedure, if because request service Wireless device meets the access that required verification process then can authorize frequency spectrum to Secondary Users.The MAP/ of standard can be followed IS-41 processes are by main HSS 926 and AAA using performing the checking/certification of Secondary Users' wireless device 101.

DSA communication systems rise to the extra standard of the process of roaming and may include different billing schemes.For example, it is main Machine network can manage the access persistent period of the wireless device 101 of Secondary Users or total using license.Such Managed Solution makes master Machine network can control locally and on a real-time basis the access of Secondary Users.In virtual optimal effort method, DSA communications System may not be reserved resource and only keep track the consumption of resource.

In virtual optimal effort method, main or mainframe network provider can not authorize Secondary Users to be prioritized, except The difference provided by the PCRF 905 by mainframe network provider and PDN Gateway (PGW) 908.It is using using virtually most The resource of the DSA communication systems of good effort method, Secondary Users can use or mainframe network PGW 908 or secondary network PGW, the PGW or can be connected to the appropriate gateway (SGW) 922 of mainframe network or by by mainframe network pipe The middle PGW 908 of reason is connected to the PGW of main frame.

PGW be responsible for according to from PCRF rule be used for wireless device 101 IP address distribution, and QoS enforce With the charging based on stream.It is the different carryings based on QoS that it is responsible for downlink user IP packet filterings.This is based on stream Amount flow template (TFT) is come what is performed.PGW is that guaranteed bit rate (GBR) carries execution QoS compulsory executions.It also can use Make with non-3 gpp technology such as CDMA2000 andThe mobile anchor point of network interworking.

All User IP packets can be transmitted by SGW, the SGW serves as to be used for when wireless device is moved between eNodeB The local mobile anchor of Deta bearer.Local mobile anchor for switching between eNodeB includes downlink packets buffering and net Initiation, legal interception, user's charging and QCI granularities and the UL/DL chargings per wireless device of network triggering service request. SGW also retains the information of the carrying with regard to idle condition is in when wireless device (referred to as " EPS Connection Management-IDLE " [ECM-IDLE]) and when Mobility Management Entity (MME) initiate wireless device paging to rebuild carrying when temporary buffer under Uplink data.Additionally, SGW perform in by visited network some management functions such as collect for charging information (for example, to User's transmission/from the data volume of user's reception) and legal interception.It act also as such as general packet radio service (GPRS) and UMTS the work of other 3GPP technology interactives mobile anchor point.

MME is control node, and which processes the signaling between wireless device and CN.The association run between wireless device and CN View be referred to as Non-Access Stratum (NAS) agreement (eMM, eSM) and safety, AS safeties, tracking zone list management, PDN GW and S-GW is selected, switching (LTE in and), certification, bearer management.MME also includes the mechanism for being used to avoiding and process overload situations.

ENodeB performs radio resource management function, such as radio bearer control, wireless call access control, Radio Mobility control The scheduling of the resource in system, up-link and both downlink and the dynamically distributes to wireless device.ENodeB can perform head Compression, this refers to that compression can otherwise represent the IP packets headers of significant expense, and the little packet particularly with such as VoIP comes Help ensure that the effective use of radio interface.ENodeB can pass through to ensure all data that encryption is sent on the radio interface To perform security function.

In one embodiment, the wireless device of Secondary Users may can have stored in the logical of it by identifying it With the effective public land mobile network or PLMN in subscriber identity module (" USIM ") come access belonging network.Can or Pre-programmed supplies to provide USIM by OTA.When using home network, the wireless device of Secondary Users can be instructed again 101 come search for it can receive from it service mainframe network.Upon identifying mainframe network, Secondary Users' wireless device 101 Mainframe network can be used for all services, or mainframe network is used for a type of service.Alternately, using home network Can be used for other services, if wireless device 101 has the ability for accessing two networks simultaneously.It is various configuration be it is possible simultaneously And in the range of present disclosure.

Figure 18 shows communication system block diagram 1800 according to one embodiment, and block diagram shows DSA during resource reservation leads to Communication between the component of two networks in letter system.In one embodiment, can be by 912 control main frame networks of OMC (i.e., Lessor) configuration.Additionally, home network (that is, tenant) 1802 can be separated with mainframe network 1804.

In one embodiment, can be reserved by using different methods using the mainframe network of virtual Secondary Users' method Resource, including：1) the X bifurcateds of eNodeB；2) SGW and PGW link bandwidths；3) resource allocation (PGW and eNodeB) for combining；With And 4) PCRF (main frame) controls.Require depending on mainframe network and bidding process, these method for obligating resource can be applied in combination Or these method for obligating resource can be mutual exclusion.

By carrying out x bifurcateds to eNodeB, can be the reserved resource of Secondary Users.In one exemplary embodiment, as schemed Shown in 19, eNodeB 916b bifurcateds can be come for the reserved resource of Secondary Users.ENodeB 916b can be from PCRF905, MME 914 and SGW 922 receive forks to divide percentage ratio, if its resource can be used for another PLMN networks.PGW 908 Can be located at mainframe network or can be located at long-range.According to the instruction for being received, eNodeB 916b can be pre- for the use of main users Stay the X% of resource and be to be used to reserve the Y% of resource by Secondary Users.ENodeB916b can transmit enhanced PLMN (ePLMN), the enhanced PLMN can be discernible for Secondary Users wireless device 101b and camped cell.

In one embodiment, also SGW 922 thereon and PGW can be assigned to by controlling Secondary Users' wireless device Connection between 908 is reserving resource.

Figure 20 shows a kind of for controlling SGW 922 and PGW 908a, 908b link bandwidth assignments according to one embodiment The embodiment method of scheme.Can be pre- to control resource by the connection of control main frame SGW 922 to various PGW 908a, 908b Stay.SGW 922 can be controlled by SGW 922 and available bandwidth between PGW 908a, 908b are changed on dynamic basis to arrive The connection of PGW 908a, 908b.Relative to mainframe network, PGW 908a, 908b can be local and/or long-range.Can lead to Cross and may be connected to the OMC/NMS 912 of DSC 910 to change SGW 922 and PGW908 link bandwidths.PGW 908a can be located at master Machine network is long-range.

In one embodiment, shown in Figure 21, can be by by eNodeB x bifurcateds and SGW-PGW link bandwidth controlling parties Method is combined as distributing purpose and reserved resource.

In one embodiment, host PC RF 905 is controllable to the resource reservation of the distribution to Secondary Users.Main frame Secondary Users' wireless device 101 can be prioritized using the combination of QCI/ARQ by PCRF 905 based on the service asked, ARQ It can be HARQ.In this scene, PCRF 905 can be wireless to main users wireless device 101a and Secondary Users Equipment 101b assigns QCI/ARQ.

In one embodiment, resource can be made using RF spectrum distribution method to can be used to distribute.In frequency spectrum distributing method In (such as (between frequency lessor, between the main tenant of frequency) between system), major networks can be by secondary in geographic area User is using appointment frequency spectrum resource.Based on this, secondary network provider can make major networks resource just can be used as themselves Channel/the frequency spectrum (i.e., it is possible to compatible or IRAT) of network is operated often.Also this can be applied to MVNO.Therefore, Secondary Users can be Major networks resource is accessed on their home network without roaming on major networks.

Frequency spectrum distributing method can be based on a) license area；Or b) partial zones.In the license area of frequency spectrum distribution and partial zones method In, the frequency spectrum that can be used to use for operator of major networks provider (that is, lessor or network 1) can pass through OMC/NMS 912 Programming.Frequency spectrum distributing method can enable mainframe network based on desired bandwidth, the geographical frontier of Secondary Users, Secondary Users please Ask the time of resource and the persistent period of Secondary Users' request resource to distribute frequency spectrum.

In one embodiment, frequency spectrum distributing method can enable frequency spectrum resource to be used Secondary Users on a dynamic basis. Charging process for frequency spectrum distributing method can be not related to main frame or visited network charging platform.But, 902 tunables of DPC are used In the charging of this effort.

Compared to virtual optimal effort or virtual Secondary Users' method, frequency spectrum distributing method can make home network operator (network 2) can be used the resource distributed and do not divided with master host network share by Secondary Users' wireless device 101 The resource matched somebody with somebody.Therefore, Secondary Users can use distributed frequency spectrum resource during renting.Secondary Users' home network can also be made Distributed resource can be controlled by using their radio access network node 102 in the duration rented.

Figure 23 A and 23B show for using frequency spectrum distributing method to license area 2300 distribute frequency spectrum resource embodiment.When During to license area 2300 distribution frequency spectrum resource, master host network can distribute the frequency spectrum resource of defined amount to be belonged to by Secondary Users Web vector graphic.Can authorize and use what is distributed in the license area that each Virtual network operator of secondary home network geographically defines Frequency spectrum.As shown in Figure 23 A, frequency spectrum license block 2300 can belong to specific license area 2300.

License area's frequency spectrum distributing method can relate to divide the frequency spectrum blocks 2302 that can be used in whole license area.Can be by altogether Enjoy channel or complete to divide in a variety of channels by additive method.As shown in Figure 23 B, frequency spectrum blocks 2302 can be drawn Divide for rent for main users use and channel 2304d to provide three channels 2304a, 2304b, 2304c.

Figure 24 show for using frequency spectrum distributing method to partial zones distribute frequency spectrum resource embodiment.Partial zones frequency spectrum point Distribute frequency spectrum within license area 2300 with the definition that can relate in mainframe network.Master host network can distribute some definition Geographic region.These areas surround the Secondary Users that can use distributed frequency spectrum resource.Therefore, by the use of resource that distributes and The geographic region specified can be the sub-district for entirely permitting area 2300, and wherein operator can access frequency spectrum.Mainframe network (that is, goes out Rent person) on time basis can hire out, sell, select to other secondary operators or otherwise transferring resource, supply them The sub-district for geographically defining used in.This can allow master host operator to their main users or be to other times Want network to hire out and reserve the use of other geographic regions.

It can be possible use single resource allocation defined in the license area 2300 of operator.For example, can be logical by DSA Letter system is by channel (4) 2302d to the successful Secondary Users suitor's license for region A 2402.Can also be by identical channel 4 are licensed to another Secondary Users suitor for region B 2404.The outside of A 2402 and B 2404, major networks in region Can be using whole frequency spectrums (channel 1 is to channel 4) 2302.In region A 2402 and B 2404, major network operators only make With channel (1-3) 2302a, 2302b, 2302c.In region A 2402 and B 2404, main users may not be used to secondary Channel (4) 2302d of network provider license.For example, the suitor of resource can be busy with many different frequency spectrum contractual relations, bag Include rental, purchase, selection, transaction, convergence or otherwise shift frequency spectrum.

Once being assigned with available resource, they can be accessed based on different methods.Frequency spectrum access method may depend on by The method that the distribution of the Web vector graphic of resource is being provided.In general, frequency spectrum access method can be divided into and is roamed and non-roaming Two class of method.When based on loaming method access-in resource, in order to be sufficiently accurate it may be desired to which Secondary Users' wireless device 101 is by major networks Roaming uses available resources.When based on non-roaming method access-in resource, Secondary Users' wireless device 101 can be allowed still at it Home network on simultaneously use distributed resource.

Figure 25 A and 25B show two networks, illustrate according to one embodiment using access from roaming arrangement to resource come Wireless device 101 is allowed using the resource of another network.As shown in fig. 25 a, wireless device 101 can currently use the frequency of network 1 Spectrum.Network 1 can require extra frequency spectrum resource to continue the communication for service to wireless device 101 to DPC902.DPC 902 be able to also can distribute for the network 2 of extra or superfluous frequency spectrum resource for using to wirelessly setting from other networks from having Standby 101 receive informations.

As shown in Figure 25 B, once DPC 902 confirm network 2 have for distribution frequency spectrum, based on the service for being used, Time and/or geographical position, can instruct wireless device 101 and operator are switched to network 2 from network 1.

In one embodiment, Secondary Users' network provider can be permitted or be rented using the frequency spectrum distributed by major networks The authority of resource.In this scene, may not request Secondary Users' equipment 101 to roam on major networks to use distributed frequency Spectrum resource.Secondary Users' equipment 101 can still in the money that can make major networks based on license terms by secondary network access point On the available secondary home network in source.

Figure 26 A and 26B show the another frequency spectrum distributing method according to one embodiment using the short-term lease of resource.Can lead to Cross license area, sub- license area is based on using DSA communication systems or available frequency spectrum is rented by which by each node, cell site His network.DSA communication systems can be such that such rental frequency spectrum can be used for by following other networks that geographical and space boundary determines Secondary use.In one embodiment, Secondary Users can pass through the distribution frequency spectrum of the secondary network access host network of its own And mainframe network need not be switched to.

Figure 26 A show the wireless device 101 communicated with the radio access node 102a of network 1.Network 1 can have and network 2 rental agreement carrys out the designated spectrum block using network 2.In this scene, when the frequency spectrum resource of network 1 exhausts and requires volume During outer resource, network 1 can be communicated with subscriber's wireless device 101 using the secondary frequency spectrum resource of license.Figure 26 B shows are used The wireless device 101 that the secondary frequency spectrum resource of license of network 2 is communicated with network 1.

The rental of frequency spectrum resource can strengthen the capacity of network, as shown in Figure 27 A and 27B.As shown in fig. 27 a, network It is wirelessly to set by different radio access point 102a, 102b, 102c that provider A may depend on the geographical position of wireless device 101 Standby 101 service.WAP 102a, 102b, 102c can be using the frequency spectrum resources from network provider A come for wireless device 101 services.

Due to increased flow, network provider A may call for extra frequency spectrum resource suitably to service its subscriber.Net Network provider A can permit or rent frequency spectrum resource from network provider B to strengthen and increase its available frequency spectrum resource. As shown in Figure 27 B, there is provided the spectrum capabilities of business A strengthen can be realized by sharing radio access platform with provider B. In such scene, WAP 102a, 102b, 102c can broadcast from provider A and B the spectrum signal for receiving.

Initial cell selects

Cell or rise is exhaled and be can relate to access available extra resource on new network and the wireless device by a network 101 situations for pointing to another network.Currently, it is to receive service to be programmed for setting up the connection with correct network by wireless device 101. To find correct network, once wireless device 101 is powered up, it can search for preferred public land mobile network (PLMN), The Radio operator that preferred roaming list (PRL) and equipment are authorized to use.PLMN/PRL is supplied on the wireless device can With the list of Radio operator.PLMN/PRL lists may include the PLMN marks for authorizing network and the operator for sorting.

As DSA communication systems can be provided to the dynamic of frequency spectrum resource and are accessed in real time, when using DSA systems, Can use at the network that frequency spectrum resource can be unlisted on the PLMN/PRL of wireless device.

As a part for DSA communication system processes, wireless device 101 can be compiled with appropriate PLMN lists in advance Journey.And, can also on secondary home network wirelessly provisioning wireless equipment 101.Wirelessly provisioning can be wireless to one or one group Equipment 101 provides instructions to initiate again cell selection procedure using the PLMN lists for updating.

Alternately, wireless device 101 may be configured with client application, and one receives WAP/SMS message, the client application Just wireless device 101 can be enable to search for during DSA available PLMN.

If drying method can be used to allow wireless device to access the available resources on heterogeneous networks.In DSA communication systems, deposit In at least two class networks or origin system：Virtual network or existing network.Virtual network may include the radio using major networks The network of access network (RAN).When 101 access of virtual network of wireless device is required, it may be necessary to solve for urgent call (such as 911 calling) and supervision feature and the requirement of other supervision regulations.

When being connected to virtual network, the DPC 902 of major networks can control the access of Secondary Users' wireless device 101 and Subscriber's record of RF spectrum resource and Major Systems is accessed to allow Secondary Users to occur as the ramber on major networks.It is secondary Want consumer wireless device 101 carry out access of virtual network using the list of preferred network.

Alternately, when being exhaled using existing network, Secondary Users' wireless device 101 can be based on participation DSA communication systems The priority list of the network of system carries out cell selection.Once Secondary Users' wireless device 101 is have authenticated, master host network DPC 902 can verify that Secondary Users to access the resource on major networks.If certification verifies unsuccessful, main users DPC 902 can send request to secondary wireless device 101 via the client in equipment and exhale in suitable system to rise again.

Wireless device 101 may include universal subscriber identity module or USIM.USIM can be single or dual USIM.Can be by The key message (such as data) needed for correct network is selected to be stored on USIM.By using USIM, wireless device 101 can be made PLMN is not used.USIM can storage information thereon, as belonged to International Mobile Subscriber identity or IMSI (HPLMN), license The prioritized list of VPLMN and the PLMN lists forbidden.

If wireless device 101 uses dual USIM, can enable it to immediately access available frequency spectrum money in alternative network Source.Dual USIM can further make multiband, multi-mode wireless device 101 have access to various networks and use in DSA Standard roaming arrangement.

Figure 28 shows for the enforcement by the network in DSA communication systems and cell initial of wireless device 101 Example method 2800.Initial network and cell select to be started with wireless device 101, when the wireless device or upper electricity or Attempt to rebuild connection (frame 2802).PLMN/PRL list (the frames that wireless device 101 initially can be searched on the equipment of being stored in 2804) cell (frame 2806) is selected, and by the intensity that receives, read and determine cell site broadcast channel nearby.

Wireless device 101 can read cell site broadcast channel and determine whether cell site provides correct system (determining 2808).Wireless device 101 may be selected and set up the connection of optimal available cell website.Most preferably can use for mark little Area's website, wireless device 101 can based on access technology come the cell of measure neighbor with determine optimise which cell.

If at the beginning, suitable cell is unavailable (that is, determining 2808="No"), and wireless device 101 can be used appoints What in cell selection procedure/stage and by the next PLMN/PRL list cells of selection continue search for suitable cell site until It follows the access protocol in appropriate PLMN lists finds allows the normal website (frame 2810) for accessing.

If correct system is available (that is, determining 2808="Yes") in selected cell site, wirelessly set System information block (SIB)/Master Information Block (the MIB) (frame transmitted by selected cell site can be received and is read for 101 2812).SIB/MIB may include to provide the network of service and by the available service of the network for which with regard to cell site Information.

In one embodiment, SIB/MIB may include many information, such as PLMN ID, cell ID, assignment of traffic identifier (TAI) (Route Area), LTE Neighboring Cell List, LTE nonsystematic websites, GSM cCell, UMTS cell and CDMA cells.Wireless device 101 can be by this information for various purposes.For example, when wireless device 101 moves to eNodeB from eNodeB, it may use that from The SIB/MIB information that new eNodeB sends has occurred and that change to determine in service eNodeB.To detect changing in eNodeB Become, wireless device 101 can identify the change in SIB/MIB information, and SIB/MIB information may include PLMN availabilities and TAI parameters In change in change.TAI definition can be further used for limiting wireless device 101 wherein and can use available resources The specific geographic region of geographic area.

SIB/MIB can be sent to by cell site by network.Cell site can receive net by the HSS 926 of network Network information.Except the data transmitted by SIB, the HSS 926 of network may also provide with regard to wireless device 101 can use which or The information of the resource which PGW 908 comes in access network.

When SIB/MIB is read, at decision block 2814, wireless device 101 can be determined whether to require gravity treatment.If should not Gravity treatment (that is, decision block 2814="Yes") is asked, in frame 2816, wireless device 101 can camped cell channel.If requiring system Gravity treatment (that is, decision block 2814="No"), can instruct wireless device 101 based on cell selection/reselection process come new little of gravity treatment Area or system (frame 2818).

When selected cell site is preempted, wireless device 101 can be from such as public land mobile network or PLMN/PRL The network wireless ground of selection of list of renewal receive extra information and instruction.Wireless device 101 can also be any change Or extra information continues monitoring SIB/MIB.

In one embodiment, SIB/MIB can provide secondary access rank, and the secondary access rank can make wireless device Based on DSA processes, 101 can determine which channel it can be accessed using by reuse adoption process.SIB/MIB may also include to be made The wireless device 101 of preemption another radio access technologies of gravity treatment (IRAT) and can try to end is wirelessly electrically accessed newly The data of the control channel on end (RAT).It is another that therefore information in SIB/MIB can be used for 101 gravity treatment of instructing wireless device RAT, another RAT associated with identical or another network that can be on another frequency band another RAT.

Can control to can trigger the cell reselection that PLMN is selected via special parameter.For example, DSA communication systems can be using taboo PLMN-id only is preventing wireless device 101 using attempting to roam on other networks from the resource of a network.For example, DSA communication systems can prevent Secondary Users' wireless device 101 using the resource of master host network to roam back to secondary home network Network is set up and the connection of secondary home network.Similarly, using wireless (OTA), client activation or driven by dual USIM The DSA communication systems of dynamic PLMN id prioritisation schemes can also prevent wireless device 101 using the resource of network rebuild and its The connection of his network, unless the rule license of DSA communication systems.

In one embodiment, when the capacity of current area reaches predetermined grade, can instruct the nothing of camped cell website Line equipment 101 performs cell reselection.In such scene, can be changed using the DSC 910 of the network of the current preemption of OMC 912 The SIB/MIB of current network performs cell reselection and another TAI areas of search come the wireless device 101 preempted including instruction or is System.The instruction for performing cell reselection can also be forwarded to wireless device 101 by WAP/SMS message.

Figure 29 shows the embodiment network for the cell reselection using the change in TAI.When using network, depend on In their specific purposes and device type, different wireless devices 101 can be assigned different TAI.For example, network can be to more Individual DSA Communications System Users assign a TAI.Network can also to and the multiple equipment of DSA communication systems be not used assign another Individual TAI.Advantage using TAI that is multiple and being layered can enable the network of appointment TAI optionally customize and use flow.It is multiple And the TAI being layered can further make the network prevention of appointment TAI have correct PLMN-id but should not use selected Area wireless device 101 select cell but can be rejected service or can be forced in cell reselection.

In one embodiment, can particular client end be installed to make nothing on the wireless device 101 of compatible DSA communication systems Line equipment 101 can determine which system and RAT should be used on the basis of secondary.Can be by receiving via text message or logical Cross data (IP) session to be sent to the WAP or SMS of mobile phone to update the PLMN/PRL lists of client application.The client of the renewal End application can instruct wireless device 101 to for accessing the suitable channel of the resource distributed of major networks.

Realization can be facilitated to possess with the secondary access channel defined in SIB using client application DSA communication systems in the legacy network and system of ability (for example, due to software load).

In idle mode, can instruct in the frequency that wireless device 101 is performed in cell reselection process and inter-frequency measurements. In using SIB/MIB or from client application information, wireless device 101 are can perform between intra-frequency search, frequency or nothing Access technology (iRAT) between line electricity.This process can be by UTRAN controls.With inter-frequency measurements or inter-radio access technology in frequency Can be on the basis of region or cell/section, depending on the configuration of wireless device 101.

The certification of Secondary Users' wireless device：

Wireless device 101 once have selected appropriate cell site and before it enters idle pulley, wireless device The certification of the system of its preemption may be needed.Selected network requirement checking and certification wireless device 101 are gathered around ensureing equipment The license having required by access network.

DSA communication systems can use distinct methods certification wireless device 101.May depend on not with DSA certification wireless devices With the business arrangement between provider and DSA systems.For example, certification can be based on general or priorization grade.DPC can be used 902HSS 904 follows verification process and can pass through the PCRF 9043G/2.5G networks in LTE or similar platforms as anchor AAA/AuC accessing to which.Mainframe network can carry out certification Secondary Users by using standard MAP/IS-41 signaling.

One is authenticated, can assign for each incomer：The definition service rating allowed on (a) mainframe network；Permitted in system Can persistent period；Purchase pattern (for example, it is whole sell or IMI scope)；HSS will allow the redirection of incoming call；When them By can from rear end access server when, application will continue.

The monitoring and tracking of the resource distributed：

DSA communication systems can ensure that major networks provider has enough resources to manage in leading provider net always Network (for example, network 2) on flow.Therefore, depending on flow, DSA communication systems are dynamically in real-time and/or statistical basis It is upper to change the frequency spectrum/capacity that can be used for Secondary Users.

For example, in peak period, calling flow can increase in major networks.When the calling flow in major networks increases When, DSA communication systems can be reduced and can be used to having enough money ensureing main users to the amount of the frequency spectrum of Secondary Users' distribution Source.

DSA communication systems can be based on the geographical position of priority level, the time using frequency spectrum and user including user Different factors managing the distribution and access to resource of resource.In one embodiment, when connecing to the secondary of major networks Enter to be related to some events, such as disaster, emergency, the first respondent or public safety, DSA communication systems can be by using difference Priorization managing the secondary use of Major Systems.For example, when Secondary Users are responded using the first of major networks resource During person, DSA communication systems can maintain or increase from major networks provider the resource distributed to Secondary Users to allow promptly to exhale Cry and successfully connect, even if infringement major networks user.

In one embodiment, can manage and control by secondary by the different components of DSA communication systems such as DPC 902 The use of the frequency spectrum resource of the network that user is carried out.For example, the DPC 902 of major networks can monitor distributed frequency spectrum money Source using ensureing when the resource exhaustion for being distributed or take appropriate steps when being no longer available for secondary use.

The DSC 910 of major networks is configured for monitoring or receiving the flow with regard to being associated with major networks The data of grade, wireless device 101 can be operated as Secondary Users on major networks.If reaching major networks capacity threshold Value, DSC 910 are configured for by resource is degraded secondary to shunt Secondary Users, forced termination (that is, shunt) Secondary Users are redirected to another operator or channel set by the connection of user.

The DSC 910 of major networks can also notify when DPC 902 may require shunting Secondary Users.For example, mainly exhale The undesirable surge of the person of crying can cause the requests of DSC 910 shunting Secondary Users to make resource can be used for main users.Work as initiation During the shunting of Secondary Users, technology access parameter can be sent to (OTA) wireless device 101.Alternately, system can be used and be referred to The wireless device 101 of order definition is switched to the X2 links of new LTE network and dynamically assigns resource via LTE.

The shunting of Secondary Users may include for the connection of Secondary Users to be redirected back to the network of Secondary Users oneself, to another The connection of provider network or channel or disconnection Secondary Users and leading provider network.For example, on due to major networks When the demand of increase requires to cause master host Network termination Secondary Users, DPC is configured for determining other networks Whether can be used for redirecting the connection rather than termination of Secondary Users.DPC 902 can inquire about the DSC910's from other networks Resource.If resource can be used for the use in other networks, DPC 902 can determine using rule set and meet that resource request will Another mainframe network for asking most has cost-efficient connection.Once DPC 902 has identified Secondary Users' wireless device 101 Another mainframe network thereon can be redirected to, DPC 902 can instruct wireless device 101 and be transitioned into for the new of communication session Mainframe network.The process of the shunting of Secondary Users may include the switching of more detailed explanation of the following or backoff procedure.

In yet another exemplary embodiment, the DPC 902 of mainframe network is can be configured to for providing in mainframe network Source instructs master host network that Secondary Users' wireless device 101 is released back into secondary home network after using up.DPC 902 can enter one Step be configured for if DPC 902 determine need extra capacity for main users using if forced termination Secondary Users and The connection of major networks.

If the capacity of abundance can use, DPC 902 can force Secondary Users to be continuing with the resource of master host network, directly Portfolio on master host network requires the extra action of rule-based collection.

In various embodiments, DSA further can manage the use of frequency spectrum that distributes and access.For example, DSA communication systems System can be by the use of the RF spectrum using avoidance mechanism managing main frame network.When high-priority users access host spectrum network When, frequency spectrum can break away from more low priority user so that frequency spectrum can be used for higher priority user.

Figure 30 shows the network architecture diagram 3000 of monitoring and tracking for using according to the frequency spectrum of one embodiment.Can make The tracking for using and monitoring of frequency spectrum resource are performed differently.In the virtual optimal effort method using resource allocation In DSA communication systems, DSC 910 can monitor frequency based on the charge information of pre-arranged and with the communication of major networks charging platform The use of spectrum resource.

DSC 910 can monitor the service rating for group and also track service rating together with PGW 908.To can make With being compared and which be monitored with the competitive bidding of expected or successful.Once Secondary Users use dividing for predefined amount With resource, the DSC 910 of major networks is configured for generating the just close very low-grade notice of resource and inciting somebody to action Which passes through DPC 902 and is sent to secondary network provider.Secondary Users can receive the notice by the DSC 910 of its own.One Denier have received the notice, and Secondary Users' provider network can allow for extra resource again competitive bidding or only remaining resource exhaustion.

In the case of the Secondary Users when the resource distributed is completely consumed actively use major networks, main net Network can instruct Secondary Users' wireless device 101 and reconnect to home network (Secondary Users' network provider), terminates wirelessly setting Standby connection or the contract based on preceding negotiation are collected glut of goods to secondary network or supplement expense.Once connection terminates, secondary Want consumer wireless device be no longer able to access major networks resource, unless distributed extra resource for Secondary Users.

In the DSA communication systems using virtual Secondary Users' method, DSC 910 can based on the charge information of pre-arranged come The use and the communication with main frame major networks charging platform of the distributed resource of monitoring.Supervised based on virtual Secondary Users' method The process for using of the distributed resource of control can relate to instruct service rating and also track together with PGW 908 for group use Grade.

Similar to the virtual optimal DSA communication systems for making great efforts method are used, communicated using the DSA of virtual Secondary Users' method System can be used by the amount with the resource distributed to Secondary Users' network provider will be used to be compared to monitoring.Once it is secondary User is wanted to use the resource distributed of predefined amount, the DSC 910 of major networks to be configured for generating money Source is just being close to very low-grade notice and is sending it to secondary network provider by DPC 902.Secondary Users can be led to The DSC 910 for crossing its own receives the notice.The notice is upon receipt of, Secondary Users' provider network can be extra resource Again competitive bidding or only allow remaining resource exhaustion.

In the DSA communication systems using virtual Secondary Users' method, after the resource exhaustion for being distributed, can be by difference Method terminating Secondary Users, for example 1) kept out of the way without priorization by as discussed below；Or 2) priorization is kept out of the way.

Without be prioritized back-off method in, when consume predetermined grade distributed frequency spectrum resource after, no longer allow into One step is used.Once the frequency spectrum resource for being distributed exhausts, major networks DSC 910 can instruct Secondary Users' wireless device and be connected to Secondary Users' home network, the connection of termination Secondary Users' wireless device and major networks are collected based on the contract of preceding negotiation Glut of goods is taken.Once terminating from major networks, Secondary Users' wireless device may be no longer able to access major networks resource, remove Non- secondary home network provider obtains extra resource.

In back-off method is prioritized, when the frequency spectrum resource for being distributed is in very inferior grade and thoroughly exhausts in resource Before, major networks can start backoff procedure, and it is wireless that period major networks can dial Secondary Users on another suitable network Equipment 101.If it not, other suitable networks can be used to receive Secondary Users' wireless device 101, major networks can be by secondary use Family wireless device 101 switches back into Secondary Users' home network.Major networks can will be Secondary Users untapped any distributed Resource surplus is to secondary network.

When using resource allocation methods, whether master host network may depend on resource based on license area or partial zones side Method distribution differently monitors distributed resource.

The distribution of resource is performed if based on license area's method, major networks can monitor the resource that carried out by Secondary Users Use.When the resource distributed almost exhausts, DSC 910/DPC 902 can notify the temporary transient rental of Secondary Users' Internet resources Will be expired and competitive bidding be provided to secondary network and buy the chance of extra resource.

If secondary network could not or be refused to obtain extra resource, major networks can be using different methods from main net Network terminates or keeps out of the way Secondary Users, e.g., 1) keeps out of the way without priorization；Or 2) method for prioritizing.

Without being prioritized in back-off method, when the rental of resource is expired, frequency spectrum resource may be no longer available for secondary use Family.Major networks can instruct Secondary Users' wireless device 101 or another being wirelessly electrically accessed that be switched in their network is System terminates their use.

In back-off method is prioritized, the DSC 910/DPC 902 of major networks can with regard to impacted website time The DSC 910 of network is wanted to coordinate resource.Secondary network can attempt to Secondary Users' wireless network is switched to for impacted area Another network, base station, be wirelessly electrically accessed channel or system.Major networks can be by untapped distributed resource surplus to secondary Want network.

The distribution of resource is performed if based on partial zones method, major networks can monitor the resource that carried out by Secondary Users Use.When the resource distributed will be expired and close predetermined when exhausting grade, the DSC910/DPC of master host network 902 can notify that secondary home network hinders the termination of resource.Major networks can provide competitive bidding extra resource again to secondary network Chance.

If secondary network fails or refuse to obtain extra resource, major networks can be using different methods from main net Network terminates or keeps out of the way Secondary Users, e.g., 1) keeps out of the way without priorization；Or 2) method for prioritizing.

Without being prioritized in back-off method, when the lease period of the resource distributed is expired, Secondary Users no longer may can The frequency spectrum resource of major networks is accessed enough.It can be main that Secondary Users can or be switched in their network by major networks Another radio access system of machine network or another network, or terminate access of the Secondary Users to major networks resource.

In back-off method is prioritized, the DSC 910 of the DSC 910 and DPC 902 and secondary network of major networks can be with Impacted website is coordinated resource and started backoff procedure before the rental of the resource distributed is expired.Secondary network can be tried Secondary Users' wireless network is switched to another network for impacted area, base station, is wirelessly electrically accessed channel or system by figure. Major networks can be by untapped distributed resource surplus to secondary network.

The switching of Secondary Users during shunting：

In one embodiment, DSA communication systems can be prevented using changing method in wireless device 101, DSA communication systems System and/or network provider between communication session during interruption or maintain the communication session.For example, communication session may include Wireless device 101 sets up the connection with network.When during a communication session period, wireless device 101 is migrated from home network To mainframe network and when returning to home network, switching can occur.The SIB/MIB that network is generated may include to can be used for switching communication meeting The list of the cell and network of words.

Outside DSA communication systems, the switching of mobile auxiliary can relate to wireless device 101 and notify that service network preferably takes Business device is available and changes to the more preferable server connection from current server.When wireless device is overflow just on mainframe network You Shi, can perform the switching of such mobile auxiliary.However, DSA communication systems may not allow the switching of such mobile auxiliary, because Be for roam purpose best server may not be for capacity mitigate best cell.It is logical with what DSA communication systems were carried out Letter session can relate to circuit switching or packet-switched services.

Figure 31 shows the networking component figure of one embodiment network of the switching for being able to carry out communication session.To realize communication Some connectivities between the component of the switching of session, mainframe network and home network (for example, network A and network B) there may be. For example, the PGW 908 and home network of main frame can be connected.The PGW 908 of main frame and home network can pass through the Internet or privately owned Data network communications.The PGW 908 of main frame can be also connected to the SGW 922 of home network.Can also be by the ANDSF 918 of main frame Connect to allow switching to legacy system and when requiring that wireless device is migrated from main frame to home network with home network Call backoff procedure.

By access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) is for mobility strategy between management system and is stored in support Such access network discovery information in the wireless device of the supply of the information of ANDSF.ANDSF can initiate from ANDSF to The supply of the information of wireless device, as specified in 3GPP TS 24.302 [3AA].

Figure 32 shows for not relying on the network of the embodiment method of the switching of medium.Through the ANDSF of DSA processes Can be by initiating switching to instructing which to carry out the transmission SMS/WAP message of wireless device 101 of space or the switching of non-space.Can be Handoff procedure is initiated under different environment and the reason for being different.For example, network can be based in mainframe network and home network Between contract norm, the grade based on the resource at the mainframe network and resource whether reached predetermined threshold value, base The resource exhaustion rented in home network based on whether initiates backoff procedure starting handoff procedure.

When host resource is no longer available for using or initiating backoff procedure, DSA communication systems can take extra component Or scheme is switching communication session.In this scene, the eNodeB of mainframe network can be specified based on QCI and ARP and be kept out of the way to perform Process.ENodeB 916 keeps out of the way and can relate to present communications session by the use of the X2 links between exchange network from main frame ENodeB 916b are switched to another eNodeB.Also this process can be realized by DSMPTA processes are used together with ANDSF.

To initiate and realizing handoff procedure, mainframe network can generate some and order and send it to wireless device 101.Example Such as, three different types of switchings include：1) between frequency；2) in frequency；With 3) IRAT.

In inter-frequency handoff, the current network (that is, current network) for the service of wireless device 101 can initiate wireless device 101 from current network to the switching of another network.In intra-frequency handover, current network can for ability shunting initiate wireless device from The switching of the 101 of another cell of the cell in one network in identical network.In IRAT switchings, current network can Initiate wireless device 101 and be switched to another RAT.

When current network sends instruction to begin to use the resource of another network to Secondary Users' wireless device 101, can Initiate inter-frequency handoff.For example, the wireless device 101 on home network can be instructed for the upload/download of larger file to use Mainframe network.

Secondary Users can be shunted from mainframe network based on strategy decision in place using inter-frequency handoff.Work as wireless device 101 be no longer needed as Secondary Users using the service of mainframe network and therefore when can be sent back to its home network, can Inter-frequency handoff is used further.When wireless device 101 leaves DSA communication systems cluster or cell range and requires to continue its During communication session, inter-frequency handoff can be further used.In such scene, by wireless device 101 or another net can be transferred to Network/cluster sends back home network.Inter-frequency handoff can be further used for being used as secondary use by allowing some main users Alleviate network capacity constraint using the service of another network in family.

The intra-frequency handover used in current network caused by getting rid of flow to another cell from a cell to be alleviated Small area jam.To avoid preventing the ping-pong for solving capacity problem, intra-frequency handover order that wireless device 101 can be forbidden to make The time period persistently defined with the adjacent cells/sectors occurred in PLMN/PRL lists.

Wireless device 101 can be redirected to into another RAT using IRAT.From an IRAT to another switching phase Between, both the frequency of radio access technologies and operation can change.When DSA communication systems are available and wireless device 101 is first When first enlivening on particular channel, the switching of this type can be used.Current network can instruct wireless device 101 and be switched by IRAT Process change is to another RAT.In one embodiment, switching command can be initiated from current network, or alternately can be never Same network or entity initiate switching command.Therefore, if 101 communication session of wireless device, nothing are hung up during handoff procedure Line equipment 101 may can be rebuild the communication session with target RAT and not return former network.

In one non-limiting embodiment, session can be dropped during INTERFREQ and/or INTRAFREQ switches. In this embodiment, equipment can rebuild connection by returning to former network.

Figure 33 illustrates a kind of network of the embodiment system required for the part initiation network switching as DSA processes Component drawings.Switching can be initiated by DSC 910 based on its rule set set up before competitive bidding or during bidding process Process.In view of maximum motility, the use of ANDSF 918 can make can be occurred with IRAT switchings in frequency, between frequently.

Secondary Users' keeping out of the way from mainframe network：

DPC 902 continuously can be used for the main of mainframe network the resource that ensures sufficient grade by monitoring host computer Internet resources The use of user.When the capacity of the available resources at mainframe network is close to predetermined threshold value, mainframe network can instruct and wirelessly set Standby 101 backoff procedures for starting Secondary Users.The resource that backoff procedure can be initiated to be released at mainframe network.

When the main users or subscriber that need to make resource can be used for network, DSA can initiate Secondary Users and keep out of the way to release Put extra resource.The method that backoff procedure can relate to the different or combination depending on DSA configurations.However, using wireless device 101 types and any distinctive mark being associated with equipment, the strategy decision for redirecting active and idle flow, by flow Get rid of to who and its order strategy decision and supply or OTA or realize back off strategy via activation client application again General character.

In one embodiment, DSA communication systems are configured for excellent using layering when backoff procedure is initiated (TPA) rule (describing in detail as described above with Fig. 1 to Fig. 8) is accessed first.For example, determine when hierarchical resource reaches possibly user Backoff procedure can be initiated during the predetermined threshold levels of justice.Process of threshold detection may include wireless access network (RAN) and core net The traffic monitoring of resource and determining whether reaches triggerable QoS or requirement gets rid of Secondary Users to discharge the predetermined threshold of resource Value grade.

Can be based on the flow that Secondary Users can generate using determining the threshold levels for RAN and resources of core network.Example Such as, when using the 85% of RAN resources is more than, the handling capacity of Secondary Users is carried out or reduced to achievable backoff procedure or from master Machine network gets rid of Secondary Users or both.By initiating backoff procedure, mainframe network ensures the amount of available RAN or resources of core network More than 15% is to maintain always.

In one embodiment, mainframe network can be allowed to maintain the backoff procedure of certain amount of resource always free DSA Can be prospective and unrelated with actual event.In the case of generation event, such as natural disaster, DSA communication systems can Can be used for the first respondent and the capacity if extra resource is necessary using TPA processes with free resource is made.

In one embodiment, in backoff procedure, DSA communication systems can monitor flow and start to exist for secondary use User-defined interval release RAN resources.

In one embodiment, each mainframe network can adopt some back off strategy and resource criterion to decide whether that initiation is moved back Circumvent journey.These strategies and resource criterion may include：Spectrum availability (separates or exists jointly)；Capacity/bandwidth (RF And core)；Cost criteria (percentage ratio of the capacity that total active volume vs. is used)；Keep out of the way condition (in gravity treatment, switching-system And between system) terminate)；Treat (how to treat/route specific service/application)；Forbid treating (for example, prohibit the use of service/ Using)；Classification (for example, how class-of-service, i.e. for non-peak uses possible channel discount)；Geographical frontier is (for example, Define region to be included or cell)；Time (for example, defines time and date to be included)；Persistent period (for example, is based on Time and geographical frontier define increment distribution)；User device type.

Backoff procedure can differently be realized for different resource allocation methods.In one embodiment, (EPC) in illustrate 905 set of policy rules of PCRF can be managed for the virtual optimal backoff procedure for making great efforts (pure roaming) distribution method.ENodeB may be used also To be configured for initiating to reduce the action of flow by using X2 links based on capacity load.In this scene, eNodeB Mainframe network can be enable by flow switch is got rid of Secondary Users to neighbouring cell site.In one embodiment, ENodeB can send instruction to one or more entities including UE.In another embodiment, eNodeB can initiate the process.

Additionally, the backoff procedure for DSA may also refer to one or more projects, one or more projects will be by abiding by The DSC of the rule set based on strategy of agreement is followed managing or formulate and be intended to ensure conversation continuity or redistribute UE To another cut-in method, it is intended to ensure Consumer's Experience in backoff procedure.

In one embodiment, it is to access that can exceed and surmount for virtual optimal (DSMPTA) backoff procedure made great efforts With the typical rule set of a part of EPC.When flow reaches predefined threshold value, DSA communication systems can initiate a process Or a process combines to realize DSMPTA backoff procedures.PCRF 905 is dynamically adjusted for Secondary Users' wireless device 101 QCI/ARQ values.This can relate to limit bandwidth or most preferably make great efforts or more low priority scheme using being placed into.Experience capacity-constrained Cell can be placed on and forbid on cell list to can access these cells without extra Secondary Users.Can be by supplying again The broadcast for being sent to wireless device 101 can be by the more new traffic to forbidding cell list to wireless device 101.It is available with regard to The cell forbidden and the information of adjacent available cell are updating broadcast.

To ensure that wireless device 101 receives and read the broadcast of the cell with regard to forbidding and available neighbor cell, DSA communication systems can send WAP/SMS message to force their gravity treatments to the wireless device 101 for being configured.When they enter weight When selecting process, wireless device 101 must read broadcast.

In one embodiment, DSA can initiate closing service group and the use of particular cell site is restricted to what is roamed Wireless device 101.The combination that can relate to the CSG and TAI of capacity problem can limit 101 access network of Secondary Users' wireless device. For example, CSG and TAI caller can be dropped, quality, a scalable network can be reduced or can provide processing capacity problem other Mesh.

In one embodiment, in conversation procedure is kept out of the way, ANDSF 918 can facilitate Secondary Users to be switched to another network Or switch back into Secondary Users' home network.ADDSF 918 can initiate network switching, if can use with the connection of another network.Nothing Line equipment 101 can be switched to another network or another access network (RAT/IRAT).

In one embodiment, 905 set of policy rules of PCRF for illustrating in EPC and DPC 902 can be managed using resource point Backoff procedure in the DSA of the virtual Secondary Users' method matched somebody with somebody.It is applied to the PCRF 905 of the master host network of Secondary Users Policing rule can obtain priority on those by DPC 902 is compulsory.However, can be based on being required by master host network operation The condition of elaboration dynamically changes or changes 905 policing rules of PCRF of master host network.Alternately, DSA communication systems In backoff procedure can relate to extra project.Strategy and rule set of the DSC910 of master host network based on agreement can be passed through To control and manage the realization of these extra items.910 strategies of DSC and rule are designed to ensure logical during backoff procedure Letter conversation continuity and good Consumer's Experience.

In the case of existing strategy and rule set in EPC is accessed fails to be applied to backoff procedure, it is capable of achieving to be used for The DSA backoff procedures of Secondary Users.For example, when master host network traffics reach predetermined threshold level, main frame DSC 910 can refer to Make main frame eNodeB using X2 links and Secondary Users are switched based on Secondary Users' wireless device 101QCI/ARQ rule sets Adjacent cell website within mainframe network.Alternately, when mainframe network and home network are connected to complete mobility When, DSC 910 can instruct main frame eNodeB and Secondary Users be switched to home network using X2 links.

Based on the instruction received from main frame DSC 910, host PC RF 905 can be for Secondary Users' wireless device 101 dynamically Adjustment QCI/ARQ values.For example, host PC RF 905 can limit bandwidth, resource allocation methods are changed to virtual optimal make great efforts or Precedence scheme is changed to low priority.

DSC 910 can instruct mainframe network and update or generate and forbids cell list and make a reservation for including currently experiencing to exceed The cell of the flux capacity of flux capacity threshold value.DSC 910 can further instruct mainframe network broadcast to use the taboo of renewal Only cell list supplies Secondary Users' wireless device 101 again.Broadcast can further include with regard to restricted cell or cell The information of the cell of the neighbouring next ring of group or multiple rings.It is that broadcast may include to change and effective PLMN-id, be used for The TAI of the change of one or more cells and for Secondary Users' wireless device 101 using change Neighboring Cell List holding Row handoff procedure or network reselection.Broadcast supply again to ensure that Secondary Users' wireless device 101 is checked, mainframe network can be sent out WAP/SMS message is sent to the wireless device 101 for being configured to force them to perform network reselection.

Main frame DSC 910 can further instruct mainframe network initiation closing service group (CGS) to carry out the Secondary Users to roaming Wireless device 101 limits the use of particular cell site.Be related to the CGS and TAI of network capacity combination can limit roaming it is secondary Access of the consumer wireless device 101 to mainframe network.The access restriction realized by the combination of CGS and TAI can make mainframe network The main users specified are can access only.

In the case of there is connection between master host network and another network (for example, secondary home network), main frame DSC 910 can instruct host A NDSF 918 and initiate Secondary Users' wireless device 101 to the network or access network of another connection (RAT/IRAT) network switching.

Be when eNodeB is for resource allocation and access and capacity overload is reduced when carrying out x bifurcateds, main frame OMC 912 (or It is configured for other controls based on strategy of management capacity) can instruct eNodeB and get rid of Secondary Users' wireless device 101 Accessible resource.Therefore, money that is that Secondary Users specify and being associated with the eNodeB for impacted area can be reduced to Source.The available resources for reducing eNodeB can force to be switched to or gravity treatment has the adjacent cell of resource.

The switching that mainframe network is initiated can balance the reassignment of eNodeB resources, to force Secondary Users' wireless device 101 are switched to another network, and on another network, they can roam and be supplied with the resource of abundance.For example, switching can Be frequency between RAT or IRAT switching.

Main frame PGW 908 can be also used as a part for backoff procedure.Can Intrusion Detection based on host HSS 904 and PCRF 905 plan The SG of Secondary Users' wireless device 101 is connected to into appropriate main frame PGW 908 with rule slightly.The controllable masters of main frame DSC 910 The bandwidth of the connection between machine PGW 908 and the 101SG of wireless device.During backoff procedure, main frame DSC 910 can initiate master Machine network is come the bandwidth that reduces PGW 908 and between the SG of Secondary Users' wireless device 101 for being moved out of mainframe network.Predetermined Strategy and rule can manage the process that DSC 910 can reduce the bandwidth between PGW 908 and SG.Main frame DSC 910 can continue prison It is extra that control can cause the mainframe network cell that over-burden by high flow capacity and assess that 908 equipment SG of main frame PGW connect Bandwidth reduces to reduce flow.

The process of the not all part as DSMPT backoff procedures initiated by DSC 910 be all it is necessary simultaneously And the realization of these processes and their possible orders for occurring may depend on the agreement between main frame and home network.

In one embodiment, the frequency spectrum distributing method of the resource allocation used in DSA communication systems is realizing keeping out of the way Process.The frequency spectrum distributing method can wrap license area and the partial zones method for resource allocation.

In one embodiment, for can relate to frequency spectrum resource from secondary using the backoff procedure of the DSA of license area's method Reassignment of the home network (that is, tenant) to the frequency spectrum resource of master host network (that is, lessor).Using license area's method Mainframe network can initiate backoff procedure all existing Secondary Users' equipment 101 are switched to from the frequency spectrum of lessor it is another Network switches back into home network.By based on being predefined for dividing again by the rule set of lessor and tenant contracting definition The time frame matched somebody with somebody.Depending on the time frame defined in rule set, may not be that all of Secondary Users move out main frame net in time Network, and as a result, some Secondary Users may be hung up.

Based on the agreement of the pre-negotiated between lessor and tenant, mainframe network is can be determined whether backoff procedure application To part or entirely permit area.Alleviate the geographic area being related to based on capacity, can not be that each cell in whole license area is required Frequency spectrum is reassigned.Therefore, backoff procedure can be realized in the son license area in license area.

When backoff procedure is realized for whole license area, main frame DSC 910 can notify that 902 mainframe networks of DPC have reached The predetermined threshold of flux capacity.DPC 902 can be by the message communicating to ownership DSC 910.Ownership DSC 910 can be by progressively Mode is reduced and can be used for the host resource and the frequency spectrum by Secondary Users' flow switch to non-rental that belong to eNodeB.Can be pre- Perform on the basis of fixed time interval and reduce the step of can be used for the resource of eNodeB.If not migrating flow in time, ownership DPC 902 can initiate network switching and Secondary Users are moved to another appropriate channel from mainframe network.Once resource is released Put, ownership eNodeB can remove the channel from its available channel list.

When backoff procedure being realized for son license area (relative to whole license area), be capable of achieving the process of the above, except can Replace entirely permitting area using the cell or TAI of definition.

Once major networks have solved capacity limit, frequency spectrum can be re-assigned to home network.To redistribute Resource, main frame DSC 910 can notify that 902 frequency spectrum resources of DPC are available for home network to use again.Ownership DPC 902 can notify to return Category 910 resources of DSC can use again.Resource can be re-assigned to by home network based on predetermined strategy and rule set.

For not, by the backoff procedure accessed with the rule in EPC and tactical management, main frame can be initiated DSMPTA and be kept out of the way Journey.This rule-based rally is possible.

In one embodiment, for may depend on by going out using the backoff procedure of the DSA communication systems of partial zones method Rent person and the strategy and rule set of tenant agreement.

Backoff procedure in the DSA of the partial zones method using resource allocation is may include using partial zones or son local The all existing Secondary Users of the main frame frequency spectrum in area wirelessly set business 101 and switch back into home network or another network.Main frame DSC Whether 910 and DPC 902/DSC, 910 rule set definable Secondary Users should be removed by the whole or subset from partial zones.

Money during backoff procedure can be predefined based on the strategy and rule set arranged by lessor and tenant The time frame redistributed in source.If the timeline illustrated in fixed less than football association, can not be by during backoff procedure All flows are successfully migrated to home network or another network.In this scene, predetermined time frame is can be dropped once expired Or lose some connections.

When backoff procedure is initiated, the tenant network money being associated with ownership eNodeB can be reduced in the way of progressively Source.Ownership OMC 912 can initiate to reduce resource by eNodeB.Other of home network may be used also based on the component such as DPC902 of strategy Initiation reduces resource by eNodeB.Home network can facilitate Secondary Users to be switched to home network frequency spectrum from mainframe network frequency spectrum. If home network does not have the capacity of processing business amount or do not perform switching in timely mode, it can or will communication Session is switched to another network or channel or forces Secondary Users' wireless device 101 to perform reuse adoption process.Once eNodeB is All Secondary Users are switched by Jing from main frame frequency spectrum, and the freelist of the channel that it can be can access from Secondary Users removes frequency spectrum letter Road.

Once major networks have solved capacity limit, frequency spectrum can be re-assigned to home network.To redistribute Resource, main frame DSC 910 can notify that 902 frequency spectrum resources of DPC are available for home network to use again.Ownership DPC 902 can notify to return Category 910 resources of DSC can use again.Resource can be re-assigned to by home network based on predetermined strategy and rule set.

Figure 34 is shown and is communicated with the element 3402 for being connected to main 3404 and secondary 2306 and via main RAT and secondary Smart phone 101a, laptop computer 101b and cell phone 101c that RAT is communicated with base station 102a and 102b.Base station 102a It is connected with major networks and base station 102b is connected with secondary network 102b.In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 34, DSA Communication system can allow wireless device 101a-101c while accessing some radio access technologies (that is, main and secondary RAT). For example, DSA can have access to the secondary RAT in secondary network using the wireless device 101 of the main RAT of major networks, only For certain form of service.For example, when the wireless device 101 of major networks is using a large amount or burst flow is caused, DSA leads to Letter system can enable major networks shunt and send a large amount and burst flow to secondary network.For example, main and secondary element 2306 and 3404 can provide data to route traffic to main and secondary wireless network and base station using data head.Switching can make Occur so as to switch between network with DSA.In another embodiment, switching can use element 3402, primary clustering or secondary Component 3404 or 3406 occurs.In yet another embodiment, switching can be initiated by main or secondary DSA networks, or by observation net Another entity of the capacity of network is initiated.

Public safety network：

In one embodiment, the major networks provider of DSA communication systems can be public safety network.Public safety Network can be the holder or owner of public safety frequency spectrum.Generally used and reserved public safety by public safety authorities Frequency spectrum.The public safety bandwidth assigned generally includes the more frequency spectrums of use than public safety authorities based on average case. It is expected that the period in the public safety emergency of such as disaster is used into it, it is frequency spectrum of the public safety using appointment excess quantity.

In one embodiment, DSA communication systems can allow when public safety frequency spectrum is available and not in use when it is public Frequency spectrum resource is rented and gives other networks by secure network altogether.During public safety emergency, when all-network may be needed Resource for public safety authorities use when, DSA communication systems can allow network by from public safety network bypass flow come Discharge resource and the resource distributed of its whole is recalled from other networks.

If additionally, the frequency spectrum assigned of public safety network proves to be inadequate in dealing with public peace during emergency A large amount of uses of full authorities, DSA communication systems can enable public safety network rent or using from other participations DSA communications The resource of the network of system.For example, DSA communication systems may call for the network of all participations and continuously keep the certain of their resources Percentage ratio is (for example, 10%) unassigned.Public safety network can use the unassigned of the network of participation during emergency Resource is increasing their resources for public safety communication.DSA communication systems further can shunt the main of major networks and/ Or Secondary Users are discharging resource to be used by public safety authorities.

In one embodiment, the access to public safety frequency spectrum can be preferential based on the layering described above by reference to Fig. 1 to 8 Cut-in method.For example, police dispatcher can always with the access to frequency spectrum.However, can by public safety resource other are non- The access restriction of government customer to some time periods or date, depending on the conjunction between user and public safety network provider Together.

In one embodiment, the layering priority access method above by reference to the descriptions of Fig. 1 to 8 can be used to perform from public peace Whole network or other network shunts not common secured user.Such as, in public safety network, when needing resource for public safety During use, DSA communication systems can enable public safety network and shunt user with priority, e.g., shunt secondary non-public affairs first Secured user, second, the main not common secured user of shunting, the 3rd, shunt low level public safety user, by that analogy altogether. The user of another network can be shunted using similar layering priority access method, public safety network can use the money of the network Source.

In one embodiment, during emergency, DSA communication systems can limit to distribution for it is secondary use appoint The access of the resource of what public safety network.For example, once DSA communication systems determine has public safety emergency, DSA leads to The resource distributed from the public safety network for being related to emergency no longer can be thought of as can be used for other nets by letter system The resource for using of network.

In one embodiment, DSA communication systems strategy and rule set may call for network allocation their resources for participating in Certain percentage is used for public safety and uses and disaster response purpose.During emergency, DSA communication systems can make public Secure network has access to extra resource, and these extra resources can be distributed by each not common secure network to be made for public safety With.In this scene, if the resource distributed is in use, can be using layering priority access method come from the resource distributed Shunting user.Other resources of not common secure network can not be used to be used for public safety, unless suitably consulted.

Figure 45 to 49 is shown for being distributed and being accessed the embodiment side of the resource of public safety network using DSA communication systems The flow chart of method.As shown in Figure 45, DSC 910a can monitor the resource vs. bandwidth traffic (frame 3602) in network 1.DSC 910a can record the resource status of network 1 and be reported DPC 902.DPC 902 can receive the resource shape for carrying out automatic network 1 State reports (frame 3702), and stores its (frame 3704).The DSC 910a of network 1 can be determined whether based on resource status report can Require extra resource to provide service (determining 3606) to the existing user of network 1.If not requiring extra resource (i.e., Determine 3606="No"), DSC 910a can continue monitoring available resources vs. bandwidth traffic by returning to frame 3602.If required Extra resource (that is, determining 3606="Yes"), DSC 910a can be sent for the request (frame of extra resource to DPC902 3608)。

In frame 4502, public safety network DSC 910b can reserve the unused resources of scheduled volume as being served only for by public affairs What security authorities used altogether is standby.This can ensure if need resource allocation hold during the emergency of such as natural disaster Change places be exclusively used in public safety using until by extra resource being discharged from network shunt Secondary Users.Public safety network DSC 910b can also monitor available resources vs. bandwidth traffic (frame 3602) in public safety network, and report to DPC902 Resource status (frame 3804).DPC 902 can be received and be come from the resource status report of DSC 910b and (frame 3702) and store institute The data (frame 3704) of reception.DSC 910b can determine that whether the resource of excess quantity can be used in public safety network (it is determined that 3804).If the resource of excess quantity is unusable in public safety network (that is, determine 3804="No"), DSC 910b can lead to Cross and return to the continuation monitoring available resources vs. bandwidth traffic of frame 3602.If the resource of excess quantity is available (that is, to determine 3804= "Yes"), DSC 910b can distribute the subdivision of superfluous resource or superfluous resource for secondary use (frame 3806), and to DPC 902 report resources are allocated and use (frame 3808) for Secondary Users.DPC 902 can receive the resource allocation report from DSC 910b Accuse (frame 3702), and store received data (frame 3704).

The state report received from network can further include information, such as access and use with regard to the resource to being distributed Networking rule and strategy.For example, may include can be used as secondary in wireless device 101 for the state report from public safety network Want that user must is fulfilled for before being successfully accessing the resource distributed in public safety network for public safety network System requirements.

DPC 902 is received for the request (frame 3706) of extra resource from the DSC 910a of network 1, and based on from other The data that network is received are selected from optimal available network, and network 1 can be from optimal available network purchase extra resource (frame 3708). In this embodiment, DPC 902 may be selected public safety network as the most suitable network that resource is provided to network 1.In frame In 3710, DPC 902 can send resource query to public safety network to determine the superfluous money distributed of public safety network The availability and quantity in source.
