Fig. 1 shows current single-antenna dual mode cellular device 100 notifies incoming call or other circuit switching event to dual mode mobile station 101 block diagram by packet data radio link 109.Framework 100 comprises travelling carriage 101, travelling carriage 101 has circuit switching modulator-demodulator 102 and packet data modem 104, circuit switching modulator-demodulator 102 is for the treatment of circuit-switched cellular application, and packet data modem 104 is for the treatment of packet data application.Modulator-demodulator 102 and 104 is baseband modems, and shares an antenna 103, to carry out Signal transmissions by packet data radio link 109 or circuit-switched wireless link 106.Thus travelling carriage 101 is coupled by circuit-switched wireless link 106 and circuit-switched base station 107, and be coupled by packet data radio link 109 and grouped data base station 110.
Circuit-switched base station 107 and wireless switching center 114 are coupled.Wireless switching center 114 and Network Node Interface 112 are coupled.Network Node Interface 112 is coupled with grouping management unit PME116 by packet data link 115.Wireless switching center 114 to from or mail to the calling of public phone exchanges network (publicswitchedtelephonenetwork, PSTN) and event carries out route.Grouping management unit 116 and packet data exchanged center 118 are coupled, packet data exchanged center 118 to from or mail to the data of packet network of such as the Internet and event carries out route.
In operation, the Circuit-switched calling on public phone exchanges network and event are routed to circuit-switched base station 107 by wireless switching center 114.The control that all callings with occurring on circuit-switched wireless link 106 and other event are associated and business are all processed by the circuit switching modulator-demodulator 102 in travelling carriage 101.Similarly, grouped data on the internet and event are routed to and the current specific packet data mobile entity 116 distributing to grouping base station 110 interfaces of travelling carriage 101 by packet data exchanged center 118.The all control be associated with grouped data or other event and business all occur on packet data radio link 109, and are received by antenna 103, and are processed by the packet data modem 104 in travelling carriage 101.
The present invention be more particularly directed to situation about being associated with current two mode field, an example exactly can by the calling of the cdma wireless link 106 treatment circuit exchange such as in code division multiple access (CDMA) 20001xRTT framework and other event and the single antenna dual mode mobile station 101 being processed grouped data and other event by the packet data radio link 109 such as in Universal Terrestrial wireless access network (EUTRAN) framework of evolution.EUTRAN framework is commonly referred to Long Term Evolution (LTE) framework, and also uses this literary style in this article.As those skilled in the art are accessible, CDMA20001xRTT circuit switching framework, or " 1x " framework, well known in the art, for the treatment of circuit-switched call, as audio call, and LTE framework is worldwide known as major deployments now at metropolitan center, as the EV-DO packet data network of current deployment block data communication ability supplement.In addition, those skilled in the art will know that LTE is the network being absorbed in grouped data.That is, LTE does not support the circuit-switched channel such as providing legacy cellular voice to call out.LTE does not provide being called the support that the networking telephone (VoIP) is called out, but one skilled in the art will appreciate that the defect be associated with current voip technology makes routine in travelling carriage 101 use the possibility of VoIP very little.
Example during the present invention can use 1x and LTE to apply and term, because these two kinds of terms are all extensively approved and are used.But, the present inventor notices that scope of the present invention is not limited to 1x and LTE, but expand to and comprise such single antenna dual mode cellular device, one that namely uses in wireless link 109 is used for the incoming call audio call with sequential and quality of service characteristics and the requirement be equal to circuit-switched application or other event that notice travelling carriage 101 is associated with circuit-switched link 106.
In concrete 1x and LTE term, travelling carriage 101 refers to subscriber equipment (userequipment, UE) 101.Grouping management unit 116 refers to mobile management unit (MobilityManagementEntity, MME) 116, is the main access node of LTE network.Mobile management unit 116 interface is to multiple grouped data base station 110, and grouped data base station 110 is also referred to as enode b (eNB) 110.Network Node Interface 112 is S102 interfaces 112, or normally interworking solution (IWS) 112.Interworking solution (IWS) 112 is responsible for the circuit-switched network of such as 1x and LTE network being carried out alternately by tunnel (tunneling) mechanism.Packet data radio link 109 is called LTE-Uu interface 109.Therefore, when grouped data is sent to travelling carriage 101 by packet data network, for the purposes of the present invention, the circuit switching element 102,107,112 shown in framework 100 is idle condition, and antenna 103 is for communicating by packet data link 109.Grouped data be routed to the Internet by packet data exchanged center 118 or from interconnection path by out, through packet data mobile entity 116, through grouped data base station 110, and the grouped data arrived on packet data radio link 109 in travelling carriage 101 adjusts demodulator 104 or sends out from grouped data adjustment demodulator 104.
But, when the circuit switching event of target bit travelling carriage 101, such as call out, when coming in switched wireless center line 114, must must stop as early as possible processing grouped data by packet data radio link notice travelling carriage 101, and fall back to circuit-switched wireless link 106, to continue next step, namely accept this calling.But because circuit switched protocol and packet data protocol are not reciprocity, designer is devoted to provide the technology and scheme that allow this notice to occur.A kind of this kind of technology used in 1x/LTE environment mentioned above sets up tunnel, there is provided notice by the circuit switched data (TCSDATA) 121 in tunnel, confirm and negotiate with the circuit switching parameter that calling accepts to be associated, and fall back to circuit-switched wireless link 106 to be encapsulated into as data division in the lower layer data grouping 120 sending on a packet data network and transmit, these links comprise link 115,119,109.In addition, Circuit-switched notification data 121 usage data divides into groups 120 as path, the parameter exchanged by this tunnel transmission/reception circuit.
Tunnel protocol is defined in E-UTRAN – cdma20001xConnectivityandInterworkingAirInterfaceSpecifi cation, Version2.0, April2011, C.S0097-0, publishedbythe3
rdgenerationPartnershipProject2 (3GPP2) (be after this " the ' 0097Specification); this agreement describes the circuit switching fall-back of single antenna mobile stations machine-processed to 1x, is found in CircuitSwitched (CS) FallbackinEvolvedPacketSystem (EPS); Stage2, Version10.2.1,2013-01-04, TS23.272publishedby3GPP2 (be after this " the ' 272Specification)
Internet interface 112 is rear end equipment elements that specific purpose is installed, and it realizes the interface between wireless switching center 114 and packet data mobile entity 116, and the responsible most of process be associated with the tunnel setting up circuit switched data 121.Path grouping 120 by mobile entity 116 and base station 110 route on link 115,119,109, but only requires the process of data 121 at rear end 101,112 place.With reference to the circuit-switched network of current such as 1xRTT, existing in a large number must by the back-end processing of circuit switching event with the configuration information guaranteed service quality.In 1x, the protocol layer processing these information is link access control (LAC) layer.Packet data modem 104 and grouped data base station 110 also comprise LAC treatment element (not shown), to support to be communicated by the layer border of packet data network.But, in order to be provided the notice of circuit-switched call and other event by packet data network, in internet interface 112 and packet data modem 104, all need LAC (TLAC) the layer treatment element in tunnel.Therefore, packet data modem 104 comprises TLAC processor 105, and internet interface 112 comprises TLAC processor 113.These processors 105,113 hereinafter will be described, processor 105,113 performs the LAC layer process required in packet data modem 104 and internet interface 112 respectively, to provide the notice of circuit-switched call and other event by packet data network.Certainly, the basic goal due to internet interface 112 is that circuit-switched network is connected to packet data network, so it must process LAC layer information subsequently.In fact, the sole purpose of internet interface 112 is the paths being provided circuit switched data by packet data network.
Those skilled in the art will find, the hardware and software be associated with the path information about circuit-switched call on a packet data network and event is limited and is troublesome.Require special equipment, such as, internet interface 112, to come by grouped data path by Circuit-Switched Data link to travelling carriage 101, and therefore, the present inventor observes these equipment and adds power consumption and the reliability reducing communication system entirety.
In existing communication construction, commonly two kinds of 1x and LTE hybrid solutions.The first is exactly simultaneous voice LTE(SimultaneousVoiceandLTELongTermEvolution, SV-LTE), this is a kind of protocol and standard that mobile phone can be made simultaneously to use voice-and-data business.Particularly, when speech network is CDMA20001xRTT, data network is LTE(4G) network.In the subscriber equipment of simultaneous voice LTE, be equipped with two cover transmitter and receivers, that is, two cover transmitters and receiver are independently arranged in a user terminal.User can be connected to LTE network and CDMA20001x network simultaneously.Owing to being two cover receive-transmit systems, the those of ordinary skill in this field is appreciated that, needs two cover baseband processor and corresponds to two cover receive-transmit systems.In this solution, LTE network provides data service, and 1x provides speech business, only needs user terminal to carry out adaptive Revision and supplement.For LTE network and 1x network, the program without any need for amendment and the increase of any element, no matter be on equipment or agreement aspect.Therefore, the excuse that network support does not need between 1x and LTE yet is not therefore needed.But the shortcoming of this scheme is needs two overlaps independently receive-transmit system, therefore cause cost and power will far away higher than common user terminal.
Another kind of solution is circuit switching fall-back (CSFB, CircuitSwitchFallBack), or evolved circuit switching fall-back.In this solution, only need a set of transmitter and receiver, also referred to as single antenna or single antenna.Compared with voice synchronous LTE, this scheme needs network interface support, such as S-102 interface.LTE only provides data, services, when user initiates or receive the calling of 1x network, sends a notice, make subscriber equipment switch back to circuit commutative field and process this calling by s-102 interface to subscriber equipment.The program needs the network interface between the support of network terminal and 1x and LTE.No matter shortcoming switches back LTE network after answering call or end of calling, the reaction speed of subscriber equipment is lower.
The present invention is by providing transmission and reception circuit switching technology to overcome above-mentioned and other problem in bimodulus single antenna mobile terminal.This technology of full implementation in a mobile station, thus alleviate the demand to internet interface 112.Below with reference to Fig. 2-5, the present invention is described.

In one embodiment of the invention, single antenna is different from the single antenna in circuit switching fall-back mentioned above.Herein, single antenna comprises a transmitter and two receivers.A transmitter is shared by LTE network and 1x network, and two receivers distribute to LTE network and 1x network respectively, makes user terminal can receive the business service of LTE simultaneously at the beep-page message of the second radio frequency unit reception CDMA20001x at the first radio frequency unit.Certainly, at some time, two receivers all can distribute to LTE network or 1x network, and this depends on the setting of user.In some cases, when LTE network all distributed to by two receivers, the beep-page message of 1x network may be missed or abandon.
In double reception pattern, hardly in two receivers bearer data transmission business simultaneously, because data transmission service needs uplink and downlink two links, not too can use at the wireless terminal of single reflector.But a receiver capture-data, it is very general that this way of beep-page message is monitored in another reception area.Person skilled in art is appreciated that, the priority monitoring the message of 1x control channel is higher than the data of LTE network.Because often audio call is more important than business service, so it is acceptable that the transmission performance of part LTE beep-page message is degenerated.
