Description

通讯装置及其控制方法Communication device and control method thereof

技术领域 technical field

本发明与通讯系统相关,并且尤其与用以检测虚拟传呼讯息的装置及方法相关。The present invention relates to communication systems, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for detecting virtual paging messages.

背景技术 Background technique

在目前采用的无线通讯系统中,例如GSM通讯系统,基地台透过传呼讯息(paging message)对其涵盖区域中的移动通讯装置发送来电通知。在没有任何来电的情况下,基地台仍然会周期性地发送不包含实质信息(来电通知)的虚拟传呼讯息(dummy paging message),藉此维系基地台与移动通讯装置间的同步状态。实际上,在大部分的时间里基地台所发送的都是虚拟传呼讯息。In currently used wireless communication systems, such as the GSM communication system, a base station sends an incoming call notification to mobile communication devices within its coverage area through a paging message. In the case of no incoming call, the base station will still periodically send a dummy paging message (dummy paging message) that does not contain substantial information (incoming call notification), so as to maintain the synchronization state between the base station and the mobile communication device. In fact, most of the time the base stations send virtual paging messages.

请参阅图1,图1为通讯系统传送端/接收端相对应的局部功能方块图示例。传送端10可被视为基地台中的传送装置,接收端20则可被视为移动通讯装置中的接收装置。在GSM系统中,实质传呼讯息和虚拟传呼讯息的原始讯息码都是包含228位元的数据,其中有40位元是供接收端20检错的冗余码(redundancy code)。经过编码器12提供的1/2码率回旋编码(convolution coding)程序后,该原始讯息码会转变为456位元的编码后数据。交错器(interleaver)14负责将该编码后数据打散为四个各自包含114位元数据的丛集(burst)。接着,这四个丛集会经过映射(mapping)单元16以及调变单元18的处理,再以射频信号的形式被依序发送出去。Please refer to FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 is an example of a partial functional block diagram corresponding to the transmitting end/receiving end of the communication system. The transmitting end 10 can be regarded as the transmitting device in the base station, and the receiving end 20 can be regarded as the receiving device in the mobile communication device. In the GSM system, the original message codes of both the real paging message and the virtual paging message contain 228-bit data, of which 40 bits are redundant codes (redundancy code) for the receiving end 20 to detect errors. After the 1/2 rate convolution coding process provided by the encoder 12, the original message code will be transformed into 456-bit coded data. The interleaver 14 is responsible for breaking up the encoded data into four bursts each containing 114-bit data. Then, the four clusters are processed by the mapping unit 16 and the modulation unit 18 , and then sent out sequentially in the form of radio frequency signals.

接收端20的射频接收器21会依序收到对应于上述四个丛集的射频信号。经过解调单元22的解调、信道均衡器(channel equalizer)23的消除信道脉冲响应程序、反交错器(deinterleaver)24的重新排列以及解码器25的解码之后,该等射频信号会被转换为228位元的还原讯息码。接着,后续的电路将负责判断此还原讯息码所代表的是实质传呼讯息或虚拟传呼讯息,并进行相对应的处理。The RF receiver 21 of the receiving end 20 will sequentially receive the RF signals corresponding to the above four clusters. After demodulation by the demodulation unit 22, elimination of the channel impulse response program by the channel equalizer (channel equalizer) 23, rearrangement by the deinterleaver (deinterleaver) 24, and decoding by the decoder 25, these radio frequency signals will be converted into 228-bit recovery message code. Then, the subsequent circuit will be responsible for judging whether the restored message code represents a real paging message or a virtual paging message, and perform corresponding processing.

理论上,接收端20是在完整接收四个丛集并将它们重建为还原讯息码之后才判断该传呼讯息的种类。然而,若该传呼讯息为虚拟传呼讯息,其中的四个丛集皆不具有通话信息等实质讯息。对于讲究持久待机能力的移动通讯装置来说,将电力消耗于接收大量无效讯息是相当不合理的浪费。Theoretically, the receiving end 20 judges the type of the paging message after completely receiving the four clusters and reconstructing them into restored message codes. However, if the paging message is a virtual paging message, none of the four clusters has substantive information such as call information. For a mobile communication device that emphasizes long-lasting standby capability, it is quite unreasonable waste to consume power for receiving a large number of invalid messages.

目前已存在仅根据四个丛集中的第一丛集判断传呼讯息是否为有效的技术。若根据第一丛集产生的判断结果显示其所属的传呼讯息为虚拟传呼讯息,通讯装置中的接收器即停止接收对应于后续三个丛集的信号,藉此节省通讯装置于接收信号时所需消耗的电力。然而,并非所有的情况皆适用上述方案。举例而言,在受到杂讯严重干扰的情况下,仅采用第一丛集来判断传呼讯息是否有效有可能会造成误判,导致通讯装置漏接带有重要信息的实质传呼讯息。Currently, there is a technology for judging whether a paging message is valid based only on the first cluster among the four clusters. If the judgment result generated by the first cluster shows that the paging message it belongs to is a virtual paging message, the receiver in the communication device stops receiving signals corresponding to the subsequent three clusters, thereby saving the consumption of the communication device when receiving signals electricity. However, not all situations are suitable for the above-mentioned solution. For example, in the case of severe noise interference, only using the first cluster to determine whether the paging message is valid may cause misjudgment, causing the communication device to miss the actual paging message with important information.

发明内容 Contents of the invention

为了解决上述问题,本发明提供的通讯装置及其控制方法将通讯装置所处环境的信号杂讯比(signal-to-noise ratio,SNR)纳入考量。若信号杂讯比显示目前的通讯环境十分理想,通讯装置即可采用仅根据第一丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟的判断机制,藉此达到节省电力的效果。相对地,若信号杂讯比显示目前的通讯环境较差,通讯装置即可采用根据多个丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟的判断机制,藉此降低误判的机率。In order to solve the above problems, the communication device and its control method provided by the present invention take into consideration the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the environment where the communication device is located. If the signal-to-noise ratio shows that the current communication environment is ideal, the communication device can adopt a judging mechanism of judging whether the paging message is virtual based only on the first cluster, thereby achieving the effect of saving power. Relatively, if the signal-to-noise ratio shows that the current communication environment is poor, the communication device can adopt a judging mechanism for judging whether the paging message is virtual based on multiple clusters, thereby reducing the probability of misjudgment.

此外,本发明提供的通讯装置及控制方法亦可将通讯装置本身所具有的移动辨识码(mobile identification number,MIN)纳入考量。若一移动辨识码与虚拟传呼讯息的内容相似,该移动辨识码可被归类于一黑名单群组中。易言之,该黑名单群组所包含的是对于杂讯较敏感的移动辨识码,一旦受到杂讯干扰就可能被误判为虚拟传呼讯息的一部份。若某通讯装置的移动辨识码属于该黑名单群组,该通讯装置可被设计为在SNR偏低的情况下即采用根据多个丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟的方案,以提高判断的准确率。In addition, the communication device and the control method provided by the present invention can also take into consideration the mobile identification number (MIN) of the communication device itself. If a mobile ID is similar to the content of the virtual paging message, the mobile ID can be classified into a blacklist group. In other words, the blacklist group includes mobile identification codes that are more sensitive to noise, and once interfered by noise, they may be misjudged as part of the virtual paging message. If the mobile identification code of a certain communication device belongs to the blacklist group, the communication device can be designed to judge whether the paging message is virtual based on multiple clusters when the SNR is low, so as to improve the accuracy of the judgment .

根据本发明的一具体实施例为包含接收单元及决定单元的通讯装置。该接收单元用以接收由通讯基地台提供的一传呼讯息中的第一丛集。该决定单元则用以将一信号杂讯比与一门槛值相比较以产生一比较结果,并根据该比较结果决定一判断机制,用以判断该传呼讯息是否为一虚拟传呼讯息。该信号杂讯比与该第一丛集行经的信道相关。A specific embodiment according to the present invention is a communication device including a receiving unit and a determining unit. The receiving unit is used for receiving the first cluster in a paging message provided by the communication base station. The determining unit is used for comparing a signal-to-noise ratio with a threshold value to generate a comparison result, and determine a judging mechanism according to the comparison result to judge whether the paging message is a virtual paging message. The signal-to-noise ratio is related to the channel traveled by the first cluster.

根据本发明的另一具体实施例为一种应用在通讯装置的控制方法。于该方法中,接收一传呼讯息中的第一丛集的步骤首先被执行。接着,该方法将一信号杂讯比与一第一门槛值相比较以产生一比较结果,并根据该比较结果决定一判断机制,用以判断该传呼讯息是否为一虚拟传呼讯息。Another specific embodiment according to the present invention is a control method applied to a communication device.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways

请参阅图2,图2绘示根据本发明的第一具体实施例中的通讯装置的功能方块图。此通讯装置适用于包含至少一个基地台的通讯系统。本实施例中的通讯装置30包含接收单元31、解调单元32、信道均衡器33、反交错器34、解码器35以及决定单元36。决定单元36可被整合于通讯装置30之内,亦可独立于通讯装置30之外。于实际应用中,通讯装置30可代表内建于移动电话中的通讯晶片或者是移动电话本身,接收单元31则可包含射频模块和模拟数字转换器等电路。Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a functional block diagram of a communication device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The communication device is suitable for a communication system including at least one base station. The communication device 30 in this embodiment includes a receiving unit 31 , a demodulating unit 32 , a channel equalizer 33 , a deinterleaver 34 , a decoder 35 and a determining unit 36 . The determination unit 36 can be integrated in the communication device 30 or can be independent from the communication device 30 . In practical applications, the communication device 30 may represent a communication chip built in a mobile phone or the mobile phone itself, and the receiving unit 31 may include circuits such as radio frequency modules and analog-to-digital converters.

在不同时间、不同地点,通讯装置30所处环境的信号杂讯比都会有所变化。换言之,信号杂讯比与传呼讯息所行经的信道的状况相关。通讯装置30可根据接收单元31所收到的无线信号估测信号杂讯比,做为调整内部设定的参考值。实务上,通讯装置30可周期性地估测信号杂讯比,也可在每一次收到无线信号时估测信号杂讯比。信号杂讯比愈高,表示信号受到环境杂讯的破坏愈少,也就表示接收单元31所收到的信号正确性愈高。At different times and places, the signal-to-noise ratio of the environment where the communication device 30 is located will vary. In other words, the signal-to-noise ratio is related to the condition of the channel through which the paging message travels. The communication device 30 can estimate the signal-to-noise ratio according to the wireless signal received by the receiving unit 31 as a reference value for adjusting internal settings. In practice, the communication device 30 may estimate the SNR periodically, or estimate the SNR every time a wireless signal is received. A higher signal-to-noise ratio means that the signal is less damaged by environmental noise, which means that the accuracy of the signal received by the receiving unit 31 is higher.

如先前所述,基地台会透过传呼讯息对其涵盖区域中的移动通讯装置发送来电通知,并且在大部分的时间里基地台所发送的都是虚拟传呼讯息。本实施例中,当通讯装置30需要判断一传呼讯息是否为虚拟时,有两种可能的判断机制,一为仅根据传呼讯息中的一个丛集进行判断,一为根据传呼讯息中的至少两个丛集进行判断。决定单元36将目前的信号杂讯比与一第一门槛值相比较以产生一比较结果,并根据该比较结果决定一判断机制,用以判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟。于此实施例中,若信号杂讯比高于第一门槛值,决定单元36即建议通讯装置30根据传呼讯息中的第一丛集判断该传呼讯息是否为虚拟。一旦根据该第一丛集所产生的判断结果显示该传呼讯息为虚拟,接收单元31即可停止接收该传呼讯息中的后续三个丛集,藉此节省电力。As mentioned above, the base station will send the incoming call notification to the mobile communication devices in its coverage area through the paging message, and most of the time the base station sends the virtual paging message. In this embodiment, when the communication device 30 needs to judge whether a paging message is virtual, there are two possible judging mechanisms, one is to judge only according to one cluster in the paging message, and the other is to judge according to at least two clusters in the paging message. cluster for judgment. The decision unit 36 compares the current signal-to-noise ratio with a first threshold value to generate a comparison result, and determines a judging mechanism according to the comparison result to judge whether the paging message is virtual. In this embodiment, if the signal-to-noise ratio is higher than the first threshold, the determining unit 36 suggests to the communication device 30 to determine whether the paging message is virtual according to the first cluster in the paging message. Once the judgment result generated according to the first cluster shows that the paging message is virtual, the receiving unit 31 can stop receiving the subsequent three clusters of the paging message, thereby saving power.

相对地,若信号杂讯比低于第一门槛值,决定单元36使通讯装置30根据传呼讯息中的至少两个丛集判断该传呼讯息是否为虚拟。更明确地说,在信号杂讯比低于第一门槛值的情况下,通讯装置30将接收传呼讯息中的至少两个丛集,并根据该等丛集判断该传呼讯息是否为虚拟。藉此,在杂讯干扰较高的情况下,通讯装置30将实质传呼讯息误判为虚拟传呼讯息,或是将虚拟传呼讯息误判为实质传呼讯息的机率皆可被降低。In contrast, if the signal-to-noise ratio is lower than the first threshold, the determining unit 36 enables the communication device 30 to determine whether the paging message is virtual according to at least two clusters in the paging message. More specifically, when the signal-to-noise ratio is lower than the first threshold, the communication device 30 will receive at least two clusters in the paging message, and judge whether the paging message is virtual according to the clusters. In this way, in the case of high noise interference, the communication device 30 may reduce the probability of misjudging the real paging message as a virtual paging message or misjudging the virtual paging message as a real paging message.

由此可知,本实施例中的通讯装置30并非在所有的情况都采用第一丛集做为传呼讯息是否为虚拟传呼讯息的判断依据,亦非在所有的情况都采用多个丛集做为判断依据。通过将信号杂讯比纳入考量,通讯装置30能在省电及降低误判率的需求间找到平衡。实务上,该第一门槛值可根据模拟或实验决定,并可被设计为可调整的。须说明的是,决定单元36的主要作用在于为通讯装置30决定应采用何种判断机制。为了进行上述根据一个或多个丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟的程序,通讯装置30可能包含其他未显示于图2中的电路。It can be seen that the communication device 30 in this embodiment does not use the first cluster as the basis for judging whether the paging message is a virtual paging message in all cases, nor does it use multiple clusters as the basis for judging in all cases . By taking the signal-to-noise ratio into consideration, the communication device 30 can find a balance between power saving and false positive rate reduction. In practice, the first threshold can be determined according to simulation or experiment, and can be designed to be adjustable. It should be noted that the main function of the determination unit 36 is to determine which determination mechanism should be adopted for the communication device 30 . In order to perform the above-mentioned procedure of judging whether the paging message is virtual according to one or more clusters, the communication device 30 may include other circuits not shown in FIG. 2 .

图3A为上述决定单元36的操作程序流程图。步骤S42为比较信号杂讯比是否高于第一门槛值。若步骤S42的比较结果为是,如步骤S43所示,通讯装置30所采用的判断机制为根据传呼讯息中的第一丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟。若步骤S42的比较结果为否,如步骤S44所示,通讯装置30所采用的判断机制为根据传呼讯息中的至少两个丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟。FIG. 3A is a flow chart of the operation procedure of the determination unit 36 . Step S42 is to compare whether the signal-to-noise ratio is higher than a first threshold. If the comparison result of step S42 is yes, as shown in step S43, the judging mechanism adopted by the communication device 30 is to judge whether the paging message is virtual according to the first cluster in the paging message. If the comparison result of step S42 is negative, as shown in step S44, the judging mechanism adopted by the communication device 30 is to judge whether the paging message is virtual according to at least two clusters in the paging message.

根据本发明,除了信号杂讯比之外,决定单元36亦可将通讯装置30所具有的移动辨识码纳入考量。移动辨识码通常被储存在通讯装置30的存储器中,并且可能会随着通讯装置30所在的网络区域不同而改变。同一网络区域中的不同通讯装置具有不同的移动辨识码,以供作为通讯装置的身分辨识。当通讯基地台发出一实质传呼讯息以告知通讯装置30来电信息或简讯时,该实质传呼讯息中就会包含有通讯装置30的移动辨识码。实务上,一实质传呼讯息中可能同时包含多个不同通讯装置的移动辨识码。According to the present invention, in addition to the signal-to-noise ratio, the determining unit 36 may also take into consideration the mobile identification code of the communication device 30 . The mobile identification code is usually stored in the memory of the communication device 30 and may change with different network areas where the communication device 30 is located. Different communication devices in the same network area have different mobile identification codes for identifying the communication devices. When the communication base station sends a real paging message to inform the communication device 30 of incoming call information or short messages, the real paging message will include the mobile identification code of the communication device 30 . In practice, a real paging message may include multiple mobile identification codes of different communication devices at the same time.

以GSM系统为例,虚拟传呼讯息和实质传呼讯息所包含的位元数量是相同的,两讯息的主要差别在于其中是否包含实质信息,例如一个或多个通讯装置的移动辨识码。基地台发出的虚拟传呼讯息中,不包含实质信息的各栏位会被填入相同的二进位填充内容,如00101011(以十六进位制表示则为2B)。此二进位内容定义于GSM的标准之中。经由还原等动作,在收到一传呼讯息后,通讯装置30可通过某些特定栏位,如传呼要求种类(paging request type)栏位及传呼模式(page mode)栏位,或是其他栏位是否被填入如00101011的填充内容,以判断该传呼讯息是否为虚拟传呼讯息。Taking the GSM system as an example, the number of bits contained in the virtual paging message and the real paging message are the same, and the main difference between the two messages is whether they contain real information, such as mobile identification codes of one or more communication devices. In the virtual paging message sent by the base station, the fields that do not contain substantive information will be filled with the same binary filling content, such as 00101011 (2B in hexadecimal notation). This binary content is defined in the GSM standard. Through actions such as restoration, after receiving a paging message, the communication device 30 can pass some specific fields, such as the paging request type field and the paging mode field, or other fields Whether it is filled with filling content such as 00101011 to determine whether the paging message is a virtual paging message.

请参阅图4,图4绘示GSM系统中的实质传呼讯息的局部格式。第1位元组中「辨识码内容长度」的数值为3;第2位元组和第3位元组用以表示该移动辨识码;由第4位元组开始,除了载有实质信息的栏位,剩余的栏位方可能被填入00101011。基地台发出此架构的传呼讯息(184个带有不同意义的位元),经由卷积、交错等编码程序,被交错展开为四个各为114位元的丛集码。由此可看出,实质传呼讯息所包含的移动辨识码信息愈少,实质传呼讯息整体的内容就会和虚拟传呼讯息愈相似。此外,实质传呼讯息和虚拟传呼讯息最相似的状况发生在实质传呼讯息仅带有一移动辨识码,且第3位元组所储存的移动辨识码和填充码00101011仅存在1位元差异的情况(例如当该第3位元组的内容为00101010或是01101011)。在这样的状况下,该传呼讯息经过上述的编码程序并分成四个丛集发送,并且于传送过程中经过信道杂讯等影响后,该仅存的1位元差异很可能消失,或者无法被检错机制判断出来。因此,通讯装置30较容易将实质传呼讯息误判为虚拟传呼讯息。Please refer to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 shows a partial format of the actual paging message in the GSM system. The value of "identification code content length" in the first byte is 3; the second byte and the third byte are used to represent the mobile identification code; starting from the fourth byte, except for those carrying substantial information field, the remaining fields may be filled with 00101011. The paging message (184 bits with different meanings) sent by the base station is interleaved into four 114-bit cluster codes through convolution, interleaving and other coding procedures. It can be seen from this that the less mobile identification code information the real paging message contains, the more similar the overall content of the real paging message will be to the virtual paging message. In addition, the most similar situation between the actual paging message and the virtual paging message occurs when the actual paging message only has a mobile identification code, and the mobile identification code stored in the third byte and the filling code 00101011 have only a 1-bit difference ( For example, when the content of the third byte is 00101010 or 01101011). In such a situation, the paging message is divided into four clusters and sent through the above encoding process, and after being affected by channel noise during transmission, the only 1-bit difference is likely to disappear or cannot be detected. The wrong mechanism is judged. Therefore, the communication device 30 is more likely to misjudge the real paging message as a virtual paging message.

对于移动辨识码所对应的第3位元组和00101011存在较大差异的通讯装置来说,即使将上述最差状况的实质传呼讯息误判为虚拟传呼讯息,所漏接者为呼叫其他通讯装置的讯息,因此并无影响。然而,对于移动辨识码所对应的第3位元组和00101011仅存在1位元差异的通讯装置来说,误判就会导致漏接重要讯息。有鉴于此,这两种移动辨识码性质不同的通讯装置可被设计为采用不同的判断标准。For a communication device whose third byte corresponding to the mobile identification code is quite different from 00101011, even if the actual paging message in the worst case above is misjudged as a virtual paging message, the missed call is to call other communication devices , so it has no effect. However, for a communication device with only 1 bit difference between the 3rd byte corresponding to the mobile identification code and 00101011, misjudgment will lead to missing important messages. In view of this, the two types of communication devices with different mobile identification codes can be designed to adopt different judgment criteria.

根据本发明的具体实施例,一黑名单群组可被预先建立并储存于通讯装置30中。此黑名单群组包含对于杂讯较敏感的移动辨识码,亦即一旦受到杂讯干扰就可能被误判为虚拟传呼讯息的一部份的移动辨识码。若通讯装置30的移动辨识码属于该黑名单群组,通讯装置30可在信号杂讯比稍偏低的情况下即采用根据多个丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟的判断方式,以降低误判的机率。According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a blacklist group can be pre-established and stored in the communication device 30 . The blacklist group includes mobile IDs that are more sensitive to noise, that is, mobile IDs that may be misjudged as part of a virtual paging message once interfered by noise. If the mobile identification code of the communication device 30 belongs to the blacklist group, the communication device 30 can use the method of judging whether the paging message is virtual based on multiple clusters when the signal-to-noise ratio is slightly low, so as to reduce misjudgment probability.

该黑名单群组根据虚拟传呼讯息的可能内容所建立,并可经由模拟或实验来决定。就图4所绘示的GSM讯息而言,包含四个位元的「辨识码位元组1」存在17种可能性,第2位元组中的「辨识码类型」的栏位内容有001、010、100、011四种可能,「奇/偶」栏位内容则有0和1两种可能。第3位元组和00101011仅存在1位元差异的可能性有八种。由上述说明可推知,这些可能性所组合出的移动辨识码共有544种。举例来说,于一实施例中,设计者可模拟多种环境状况,再由这544个移动辨识码中挑选出对应于较高误判率的30个移动辨识码组成该黑名单群组。该黑名单群组可被预存于通讯装置30的存储器中。在其他实施例中,该黑名单群组可包含全部有可能的544个移动辨识码。The blacklist group is established according to the possible content of the virtual paging message, and can be determined through simulation or experiment. As far as the GSM message shown in Figure 4 is concerned, there are 17 possibilities for the "identification code byte 1" consisting of four bits, and the field content of the "identification code type" in the second byte is 001 . There are eight possibilities for the 3rd byte and 00101011 to differ by only 1 bit. It can be deduced from the above description that there are 544 mobile identification codes combined from these possibilities. For example, in one embodiment, the designer can simulate various environmental conditions, and then select 30 mobile identification codes corresponding to a higher false positive rate from the 544 mobile identification codes to form the blacklist group. The blacklist group can be pre-stored in the memory of the communication device 30 . In other embodiments, the blacklist group may include all possible 544 mobile IDs.

请参阅图三(B),图三(B)绘示决定单元36可采用的另一种判断程序流程图,用以说明同时考量信号杂讯比和移动辨识码的实施例。同样地,若步骤S42的判断结果为是,如步骤S43所示,通讯装置30所采用的判断机制为根据传呼讯息中的第一丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟。若步骤S42的判断结果为否,此实施例中的决定单元36将由存储器读取通讯装置30目前的移动辨识码,并如步骤S45所示,判断该移动辨识码是否属于该黑名单群组。若步骤S45的判断结果为否,表示通讯装置30可采用较宽松且较省电的判断机制,亦即可依步骤S43所示,根据第一丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟。相对地,若步骤S45的判断结果为是,表示通讯装置30可采用较严格、准确率较高的判断机制,亦即依步骤S44所示,根据至少两个丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟。Please refer to FIG. 3(B). FIG. 3(B) shows a flow chart of another judgment procedure that can be used by the decision unit 36 to illustrate an embodiment that considers the signal-to-noise ratio and the mobile identification code at the same time. Similarly, if the determination result of step S42 is yes, as shown in step S43, the determination mechanism adopted by the communication device 30 is to determine whether the paging message is virtual according to the first cluster in the paging message. If the determination result of step S42 is negative, the decision unit 36 in this embodiment reads the current mobile identification code of the communication device 30 from the memory, and as shown in step S45, determines whether the mobile identification code belongs to the blacklist group. If the judgment result of step S45 is negative, it means that the communication device 30 can adopt a more relaxed and power-saving judgment mechanism, that is, it can judge whether the paging message is virtual or not according to the first cluster as shown in step S43. In contrast, if the judgment result of step S45 is yes, it means that the communication device 30 can adopt a stricter and more accurate judgment mechanism, that is, as shown in step S44, judge whether the paging message is virtual or not according to at least two clusters.

于实际应用中,决定单元36亦可采用两个高低不同的门槛值做为判断标准。请参阅图三(C),图三(C)绘示决定单元36可采用的另一种判断程序流程图,用以说明考量两种信号杂讯比门槛值的实施例。第二门槛值低于第一门槛值,并且在实务上可为第一门槛值减去一特定容忍量,例如第二门槛值可为第一门槛值的80%。若步骤S42的判断结果为否,此实施例中的决定单元36将执行步骤S46,判断通讯装置30所处环境中的信号杂讯比是否高于第二门槛值。如果步骤S46的判断结果为否,表示目前的信号杂讯比过低,决定单元36将令通讯装置30对于所有的传呼讯息皆采用根据至少两个丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟的机制。相对地,若步骤S46的判断结果为是,表示目前的信号杂讯比介于第二门槛值和第一门槛值之间,决定单元36将如步骤S45所示,接着判断通讯装置30的移动辨识码是否属于该黑名单群组,并根据步骤S45的判断结果决定通讯装置30将采用哪一种判断机制。In practical applications, the decision unit 36 may also use two thresholds with different heights as judgment criteria. Please refer to FIG. 3(C). FIG. 3(C) shows a flow chart of another judgment procedure that can be used by the decision unit 36 to illustrate an embodiment that considers two signal-to-noise ratio thresholds. The second threshold value is lower than the first threshold value, and in practice may be the first threshold value minus a specific tolerance, for example, the second threshold value may be 80% of the first threshold value. If the judgment result of step S42 is negative, the decision unit 36 in this embodiment will execute step S46 to judge whether the signal-to-noise ratio in the environment where the communication device 30 is located is higher than the second threshold. If the judgment result of step S46 is negative, it means that the current signal-to-noise ratio is too low, and the decision unit 36 will make the communication device 30 use the mechanism of judging whether the paging message is virtual based on at least two clusters for all paging messages. In contrast, if the judgment result of step S46 is yes, indicating that the current signal-to-noise ratio is between the second threshold value and the first threshold value, the determination unit 36 will then determine the movement of the communication device 30 as shown in step S45. Whether the identification code belongs to the blacklist group, and which judging mechanism the communication device 30 will adopt is determined according to the judging result of step S45.

图3D所示的流程图进一步包含判断移动辨识码是否符合一预设条件的步骤S47。该预设条件可以是:移动辨识码的一特定区段与虚拟传呼讯息的一特征码的差异小于一既定值。举例而言,该预设条件可为:移动辨识码的长度为3位元,且移动辨识码中如图4所示的第3位元组和00101011仅存在1位元的差异。若步骤S47的判断结果为是,表示移动辨识码相当近似于虚拟传呼讯息的部分内容。在这样的情况下,决定单元36将继续执行步骤S45,根据通讯装置30的移动辨识码是否属于该黑名单群组决定通讯装置30应采用的判断机制。于此实施例中,若步骤S45和步骤S47的判断结果皆为是,通讯装置30就会采用较严格、准确率较高的判断机制,根据至少两个丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟。The flowchart shown in FIG. 3D further includes a step S47 of judging whether the mobile identification code meets a preset condition. The preset condition may be: the difference between a specific section of the mobile identification code and a feature code of the virtual paging message is less than a predetermined value. For example, the preset condition may be: the length of the mobile identification code is 3 bits, and there is only 1 bit difference between the 3rd byte in the mobile identification code as shown in FIG. 4 and 00101011. If the determination result of step S47 is yes, it means that the mobile identification code is quite similar to part of the virtual paging message. In such a case, the determining unit 36 will continue to execute step S45 to determine the judging mechanism that the communication device 30 should adopt according to whether the mobile identification code of the communication device 30 belongs to the blacklist group. In this embodiment, if the judgment results of step S45 and step S47 are both yes, the communication device 30 will adopt a stricter and more accurate judgment mechanism to judge whether the paging message is virtual or not according to at least two clusters.

另一实施例中,决定单元可采用另一种判断程序流程,仅考量通讯装置的移动辨识码。类似于先前实施例的判断步骤,只要通讯装置的移动辨识码属于该黑名单群组,本实施例中的决定单元即令通讯装置根据至少两个丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟。相对地,若通讯装置的移动辨识码不属于该黑名单群组,决定单元即令通讯装置根据第一丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟。In another embodiment, the determination unit may adopt another determination procedure, which only considers the mobile identification code of the communication device. Similar to the judging step in the previous embodiment, as long as the mobile ID of the communication device belongs to the blacklist group, the determining unit in this embodiment makes the communication device judge whether the paging message is virtual or not according to at least two clusters. In contrast, if the mobile identification code of the communication device does not belong to the blacklist group, the determining unit instructs the communication device to determine whether the paging message is virtual according to the first cluster.

图5为一通讯装置的电路方块图,用以说明根据本发明的通讯装置可如何根据第一丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟。此通讯装置60包含接收单元61、解调单元62、信道均衡器63、由反交错器64及解码器65组成的数据处理单元、取代单元66、检错单元67、决定单元68,以及控制单元69。决定单元68的运作方式可与前几个实施例中的任一个决定单元36相同,因此不再赘述。FIG. 5 is a circuit block diagram of a communication device for illustrating how the communication device according to the present invention can determine whether the paging message is virtual according to the first cluster. This communication device 60 includes a receiving unit 61, a demodulation unit 62, a channel equalizer 63, a data processing unit composed of an inverse interleaver 64 and a decoder 65, a replacement unit 66, an error detection unit 67, a decision unit 68, and a control unit 69. The operation mode of the determining unit 68 may be the same as that of any one of the determining unit 36 in the previous embodiments, so it will not be repeated here.

首先说明当决定单元68透过控制单元69令通讯装置60根据第一丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟的状况。一传呼讯息的第一丛集被接收单元61接收后,会先经过解调单元62和信道均衡器63的处理。假设信道均衡器63的输出端对应于该第一丛集的输出信号为B0。于此实施例中,B0与多个被预存于通讯装置60的存储器的预设位元会在反交错器64中被组成一个组合讯息,并由反交错器64将该组合讯息反交错。Firstly, the situation when the determining unit 68 instructs the communication device 60 to determine whether the paging message is virtual or not according to the first cluster is described. After the first cluster of a paging message is received by the receiving unit 61 , it will first be processed by the demodulation unit 62 and the channel equalizer 63 . Assume that the output signal of the channel equalizer 63 corresponding to the first cluster is B0. In this embodiment, B0 and a plurality of preset bits pre-stored in the memory of the communication device 60 are combined into a composite message in the deinterleaver 64 , and the composite message is deinterleaved by the deinterleaver 64 .

该等预设位元对应于虚拟传呼讯息中的至少一个后续丛集。以GSM系统为例,假设一虚拟传呼讯息中的四个丛集依序通过信道均衡器63后的输出信号为[B1 B2B3 B4],其中的[B2 B3 B4]即可做为上述预设位元,用以与B0组成组合讯息[B0 B2B3 B4]。若B0确实对应于一虚拟传呼讯息,组合讯息[B0 B2 B3 B4]理应与[B1 B2B3 B4]相似,[B0 B2 B3 B4]和[B1 B2 B3 B4]经过反交错程序后的结果也应相似。The predetermined bits correspond to at least one subsequent cluster in the virtual paging message. Taking the GSM system as an example, assuming that the four clusters in a virtual paging message pass through the channel equalizer 63 in sequence, the output signal is [B1 B2B3 B4], where [B2 B3 B4] can be used as the above-mentioned preset bit , used to form a combined message with B0 [B0 B2B3 B4]. If B0 does correspond to a virtual paging message, the combined message [B0 B2 B3 B4] should be similar to [B1 B2B3 B4], and the results of [B0 B2 B3 B4] and [B1 B2 B3 B4] after the deinterleaving process should also be similar .

图6绘示GSM系统中的虚拟传呼讯息的数据内容。如图6所示,在对应于第3位元组指标的栏位中,M的数值可能为0000、0001、0010、0011,在对应于第5位元组指标的栏位中,F的数值则可能为0000或1111。因此,GSM系统中的虚拟传呼讯息有八种可能的数据内容。经过观察可发现,这八种可能的数据内容有许多位元是相同的。以第二丛集来说,其114位元的数据中有89位元在上述八种情况下都是维持不变的。上述预设位元[B2 B3 B4]中的B2可以被设计为包含该89位元固定的数据,并以0填入其他25个位元所在的位置。FIG. 6 shows the data content of the virtual paging message in the GSM system. As shown in Figure 6, in the column corresponding to the 3rd byte indicator, the value of M may be 0000, 0001, 0010, 0011, and in the column corresponding to the 5th byte indicator, the value of F Then it could be 0000 or 1111. Therefore, there are eight possible data contents for a virtual paging message in the GSM system. After observation, it can be found that many bits of the eight possible data contents are the same. Taking the second cluster as an example, 89 bits of its 114-bit data remain unchanged in the above eight situations. B2 in the above preset bits [B2 B3 B4] can be designed to contain the 89-bit fixed data, and fill the positions of the other 25 bits with 0.

相似地,GSM虚拟传呼讯息的第三丛集和第四丛集中也各自有87位元和90位元的数据在上述八种情况下维持不变。因此,预设位元[B2 B3 B4]中的B3可以被设计为包含该87位元固定的数据,并以0填入其他27个位元所在的位置;B4可以被设计为包含该90位元固定的数据,并以0填入其他24个位元所在的位置。Similarly, the 87-bit and 90-bit data in the third cluster and fourth cluster of the GSM virtual paging message remain unchanged in the above eight situations. Therefore, B3 in the preset bit [B2 B3 B4] can be designed to contain the 87-bit fixed data, and fill the position of the other 27 bits with 0; B4 can be designed to contain the 90-bit The fixed data, and fill the other 24 bits with 0.

接着,解码器65负责将经过反交错程序后的456位元数据解码,以产生包含228位元数据的一解码后讯息。如先前所述,GSM系统中的解码后讯息应包含40位元供通讯装置60检错的冗余码。为了确保检错结果不致因上述以0填入部份位元的做法发生错误,取代单元66利用40个已知的第一测试校验位元取代该解码后讯息中校验位元(parity bit)的部份,产生一第一取代后讯息。这40个第一测试校验位元对应于F的数值为0000的情况。更明确地说,这组第一测试校验位元对应于F等于0000的虚拟传呼讯息理论上在解码器65输出端应得出的冗余码信号。此外,取代单元66也可针对F的数值为1111的情况,另以40个第二测试校验位元取代该解码后讯息中校验位元的部份,以产生一第二取代后讯息。Next, the decoder 65 is responsible for decoding the 456-bit data after deinterleaving to generate a decoded message including 228-bit data. As mentioned earlier, the decoded message in the GSM system should contain a 40-bit redundancy code for the communication device 60 to detect errors. In order to ensure that the error detection result will not be wrong due to the above-mentioned method of filling some bits with 0, the replacement unit 66 replaces the parity bit (parity bit) in the decoded message with 40 known first test parity bits ) to generate a first post-replacement message. The 40 first test parity bits correspond to the case where the value of F is 0000. More specifically, the group of first test parity bits corresponds to the redundant code signal that the virtual paging message with F equal to 0000 should theoretically obtain at the output end of the decoder 65 . In addition, the replacement unit 66 can also replace the part of the parity bits in the decoded message with 40 second test parity bits for the case where the value of F is 1111, so as to generate a second post-replacement message.

检错单元67首先对该第一取代后讯息进行一检错检测,例如循环冗余检测(cyclic redundancy check)。如果接收单元61所接收的第一丛集对应于F等于0000的虚拟传呼讯息,检错单元67所得相对应的错误率将低于一预设门槛值。根据此第一检测结果,检错单元67可判定该第一丛集所属的传呼讯息为虚拟传呼讯息。如果该第一检测结果显示其错误率高于该预设门槛值,检错单元67将继续对该第二取代后讯息进行检错检测。如果接收单元61所接收的第一丛集对应于F等于1111的虚拟传呼讯息,第二取代后讯息相对应的错误率将低于该预设门槛值。The error detection unit 67 first performs an error detection, such as cyclic redundancy check, on the first replaced message. If the first cluster received by the receiving unit 61 corresponds to the virtual paging message with F equal to 0000, the corresponding error rate obtained by the error detection unit 67 will be lower than a preset threshold. According to the first detection result, the error detection unit 67 may determine that the paging message to which the first cluster belongs is a virtual paging message. If the first detection result shows that the error rate is higher than the preset threshold, the error detection unit 67 will continue to perform error detection on the second replaced message. If the first cluster received by the receiving unit 61 corresponds to the virtual paging message with F equal to 1111, the error rate corresponding to the second replaced message will be lower than the preset threshold.

如果第一取代后讯息和第二取代后讯息所对应的错误率皆高于该预设门槛值,检错单元67可判定该第一丛集所属的传呼讯息并非虚拟传呼讯息。在这样的情况下,控制单元69可请求接收单元61继续接收该传呼讯息的后续丛集。在处理后续三个丛集时,控制单元69可控制反交错器64停止其组合程序,并控制取代单元66停止其取代程序。If the error rates corresponding to the first replaced message and the second replaced message are both higher than the preset threshold, the error detection unit 67 may determine that the paging message to which the first cluster belongs is not a virtual paging message. In this case, the control unit 69 may request the receiving unit 61 to continue receiving subsequent bursts of the paging message. When processing the next three clusters, the control unit 69 can control the deinterleaver 64 to stop its combination process, and control the replacement unit 66 to stop its replacement process.

另一方面,在决定单元68透过控制单元69令通讯装置60根据多个丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟的状况下,控制单元69也可控制反交错器64停止其组合程序,并控制取代单元66停止其取代程序。On the other hand, when the decision unit 68 makes the communication device 60 judge whether the paging message is virtual according to multiple clusters through the control unit 69, the control unit 69 can also control the deinterleaver 64 to stop its combination process, and control the replacement unit 66 stops its replacement procedure.

实务上,由于预设位元[B2 B3 B4]的位元数量高于第一丛集所对应的B0的位元数量,为了避免预设位元[B2 B3 B4]主导检错单元67的检错结果,预设位元[B2B3 B4]可由多个原始预设位元乘上一等化增益所产生。举例而言,假设经过信道均衡器63之后的B0为上下限在±128之间的量化数值,该等以二进位表示的原始预设位元可被乘上范围在±10之内的等化增益,使预设位元[B2 B3 B4]中各位元的量化数值分布在±10之间。In practice, since the number of bits of the preset bit [B2 B3 B4] is higher than the number of bits of B0 corresponding to the first cluster, in order to avoid the error detection of the error detection unit 67 dominated by the preset bit [B2 B3 B4] As a result, the preset bit [B2B3 B4] can be generated by multiplying the original preset bits by the equalization gain. For example, assuming that B0 after passing through the channel equalizer 63 is a quantized value with upper and lower limits between ±128, the original preset bits expressed in binary can be multiplied by an equalization within the range of ±10 Gain, so that the quantization value of each bit in the preset bit [B2 B3 B4] is distributed between ±10.

请参阅图7,图7为根据本发明的一通讯装置控制方法流程图,用以说明通讯装置可如何根据第一丛集判断传呼讯息是否为虚拟。步骤S801为接收一传呼讯息中的第一丛集。步骤S802为将该第一丛集和多个预设位元组成一组合讯息。接着,在步骤S803中,该组合讯息被反交错并解码。步骤S804以多个第一测试校验位元取代该解码后讯息中的多个校验位元,以产生一第一取代后讯息。步骤S805则是对该第一取代后讯息进行检错检测。Please refer to FIG. 7 . FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a control method of a communication device according to the present invention, which is used to illustrate how the communication device can determine whether the paging message is virtual according to the first cluster. Step S801 is to receive a first cluster in a paging message. Step S802 is to compose a combined message with the first cluster and a plurality of preset bits. Next, in step S803, the combined message is deinterleaved and decoded. Step S804 replaces the plurality of check bits in the decoded message with a plurality of first test check bits to generate a first replaced message. Step S805 is to perform error detection on the first replaced message.

步骤S806判断该第一取代后讯息所对应的错误率是否低于一门槛值。若步骤S806的判断结果为是,该方法即于步骤S807中判定该第一丛集所属的传呼讯息为虚拟传呼讯息。相对地,若步骤S806的判断结果为否,步骤S808将被执行,另以多个第二测试校验位元取代该多个校验位元,以产生一第二取代后讯息。接着,步骤S809和S810分别为对第二取代后讯息进行检错检测,以及判断该第二取代后讯息所对应的错误率是否低于门槛值。若步骤S810的判断结果为是,该方法亦将执行步骤S807,判定该第一丛集所属的传呼讯息为虚拟传呼讯息。若步骤S810的判断结果为否,该方法即于步骤S811中判定该第一丛集所属的传呼讯息并非虚拟传呼讯息。Step S806 determines whether the error rate corresponding to the first replaced message is lower than a threshold. If the determination result of step S806 is yes, the method determines in step S807 that the paging message to which the first cluster belongs is a virtual paging message. In contrast, if the determination result of step S806 is negative, step S808 will be executed to replace the plurality of check bits with a plurality of second test check bits to generate a second post-replacement message. Next, steps S809 and S810 are respectively performing error detection on the second replaced message, and determining whether the error rate corresponding to the second replaced message is lower than a threshold value. If the determination result of step S810 is yes, the method will also execute step S807 to determine that the paging message belonging to the first cluster is a virtual paging message. If the determination result of step S810 is negative, the method determines in step S811 that the paging message to which the first cluster belongs is not a virtual paging message.

如上所述,本发明提供的通讯装置及其控制方法是将通讯装置所处环境的信号杂讯比及/或通讯装置本身所具有的移动辨识码纳入考量,据以决定是否应采用较省电的判断机制或是准确性较高的判断机制,藉此兼顾并平衡省电及降低误判率的需求。本发明的概念可广泛应用于各种存在虚拟传呼讯息的通讯系统。As mentioned above, the communication device and its control method provided by the present invention take into consideration the signal-to-noise ratio of the environment where the communication device is located and/or the mobile identification code of the communication device itself, so as to decide whether to use a more power-saving method.
