Description

Direct transition to CELL DCH
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to methods and arrangements in a mobile communication network. In particular, the present invention relates to methods and arrangements for reducing the time delay associated with the initialisation of a data transfer in a UMTS Radio Access Network (UTRAN) .
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Figure 1 shows a Universal Mobile Telephony System (UMTS). The UMTS network comprises a Core Network (CN) 100 that is connectable to other networks such as the Internet, other mobile networks e.g. GSM systems and fixed telephony networks denoted POTS in figure 1. The CN 100 is connected to a plurality of Radio Network Controllers (RNCs) 102 belonging to the UMTS Radio Access Network (UTRAN). The respective RNC 102 controls a plurality of Node-Bs 104 comprising one or more base stations. Each base station covers an area, i.e. a cell 106 and is arranged to serve the mobile terminals within said cell. Finally, the mobile terminals 108, also referred to as User Equipments (UE) are connected to one or more base stations 104.
In the UTRAN a user equipment (UE) can be in one of several RRC states depending on the user activity. These states comprise Idle Mode, URA_PCH, CELLJPCH, CELL_FACH and CELL_DCH, listed in order of increasing user activity.
In CellJPCH and URAJPCH, no communication is possible and minimum radio and battery resources are consumed. When the UE has data to send, it needs to transmit a Cell Update message to the UTRAN, indicating that uplink data is available. When UTRAN has data to send to a UE in CELL_PCH or URA_PCH it needs to send a paging message to the UE, and the UE responds with a Cell Update message to indicate in which cell it is located.
In CELLJFACH, communication is possible but with low data rate and high round trip time due to the properties of the shared channel used in this state. A UE in this state consumes more radio resources compared to CELL_PCH/URA_PCH but less resources than compared to CELL_DCH.
In CELL_DCH the UE has a dedicated channel available which implies that communication with high data rate and low round trip time is possible. The CELL_DCH state provides the best user performance in terms of data rate and delay, but also consumes the most resources, e.g. in terms of power and codes. Thus it may be necessary to move users to lower states when the data transmission stops. A typical case for many applications is that data transmission occurs so seldom that the UE is in CELL_PCH or URAJPCH state when a data burst transmission starts. This implies that the delay to move from CELL_PCH/URA_PCH to CELLJDCH needs to be minimized, in order to have a good user performance. If the application transmits small data objects the time to change state will have a more significant impact on the user performance than the data rate on DCH. A Push-to-Talk service is one example, where rather small objects are transmitted rather infrequently. This service could start with a burst from the network side if the terminal in CELL PCH/URA PCH is the receiver of the talk burst. In this the delay for transmitting a data object (including transition to CELLJDCH) is to a large extent determined by the time to move from CELL/URA_PCH to CELL_DCH. When a UE in CELL/URAJPCH needs to transmit uplink data, the typical signalling sequence is shown in figure 2. In step 1, the UE sends a Cell Update message to indicate that it has uplink data available to transmit. In step 2, UTRAN responds with transmitting a Cell Update Confirm message which acknowledges the Cell Update Message and orders the UE to enter CELL_FACH state, where data transmission is possible. In step 3, The UE transmits a UTRAN Mobility Information Confirm message to acknowledge the Cell Update Confirm message. It is now possible for the UE to transmit data on RACH, i.e. it is in CELL_FACH state. If the available amount of data, which is denoted the Traffic Volume in 3GPP specifications, is above a configured threshold the UE transmits a Measurement Report to inform UTRAN about the available amount of data (step 4). When UTRAN receives the Measurement Report it can decide to move the UE to CELLJDCH since the RACH has very limited performance. UTRAN therefore sends a Radio Bearer Reconfiguration message in step 5 to move the UE to CELLJDCH. The UE responds with a Radio Bearer Reconfiguration Confirm message in step 6, which acknowledges the received message. Now the UE has entered CELLJDCH and can transmit data on the DCH.
Correspondingly, figure 3 depicts the typical signalling sequence when a UE in CELL/URAJPCH needs to receive downlink data. The UE receives in step l a paging message. The UE shall answer such a paging message. In step 2, the UE answers the paging message by sending a Cell Update message to indicate that it has received the paging message. In step 3, UTRAN responds with transmitting a Cell Update Confirm message which acknowledges the Cell Update Message and order the UE to enter CELL_FACH state, where data transmission is possible. In step 4, The UE transmits a UTRAN Mobility Information Confirm message to acknowledge the Cell Update Confirm message. It is now possible for the UE to receive data on FACH (i.e. it is in CELL_FACH state). If the available amount of data buffered for this UE in the RNC (denoted Traffic Volume in 3GPP specifications) is high enough as evaluated by UTRAN, it can decide to move the UE to CELLJDCH since the FACH has very limited performance. UTRAN therefore sends a Radio Bearer Reconfiguration message in step 5 to move the UE to CELL_DCH. The UE responds with a Radio Bearer Reconfiguration Complete message in step 6, which acknowledges the received message. Now the UE has entered CELLJDCH and can receive data on the DCH.
Another alternative for moving a UE from CELL/URA_PCH to CELLJDCH is depicted by help of figure 4. According to this alternative it would also be possible with the current 3GPP specifications to order the UE to CELLJDCH directly in the Cell Update Confirm message. This would result in a signalling sequence as shown in figure 4. In this alternative, the UTRAN orders the UE to CELLJDCH already in the Cell Update Confirm Message in step 2. The UE responds with a Radio Bearer Reconfiguration Complete message in step 3 and can then start to transmit data on DCH.
Correspondingly, figure 5 shows an alternative signalling sequence for moving a UE from CELL/URA_PCH to CELLJDCH in case of a UTRAN initiated transmission. Here, the UTRAN orders the UE to CELLJDCH already in the Cell Update Confirm Message in step 3. The UE responds with a Radio Bearer Reconfiguration Complete message in step 4 and can then start to receive data on DCH. The alternative signalling sequence for UE initiated transmission described above in figure 3 is much faster than the normal sequence. In practice the time to move from CELL/URAJPCH to CELLJDCH can be more than halved. However, this alternative sequence also implies the problem that the UTRAN has no information about the amount of data that the UE has available for transmission. The Cell Update message only contains a cause value indicating the cause for the cell update, in this case "uplink data transmission".
This means that the UTRAN has to move the UE to CELL_DCH without kno-wing if this is necessary or even desired. For small data objects the transmission time on CELL_FACH is smaller than on CELLJDCH due to the relatively large delay to setup the DCH channel. Thus it would in fact reduce the user performance if the UE is moved to CELLJDCH when the available amount of data is small. Given that it consumes network resources to move users to DCH, these resources are wasted if the UE is moved to DCH when there is no need.
Turning back to figure 5, the alternative signaling sequence for UTRAN initiated transmission described in said figure could be seen as somewhat faster than the sequence in figure 3. However, since UTRAN have all the knowledge about the downlink buffers for this UE and know already when sending the Paging type 1 message that the UE should be moved to CELLJDCH state, there is no need to have the UE go via the CELL_FACH state before continuing the transition to CELLJDCH state. Performing Cell update procedure in CELL_FACH state (step 2 and 3 in figure 5) takes a substantial amount of time since the messages are sent on contention based common channels used by several users. By removing these steps in CELL_FACH state the sequence could therefore be made even faster if the UE transits directly from CELL_PCH/URA_PCH to CELLJDCH. This faster sequence is currently not supported in the 3GPP specifications.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The methods and arrangements of the present invention may be implemented in a UMTS network as shown in figure 1. A Radio Network Controller (RNC) 102 is connectable to a UMTS network and to a plurality of User Equipments (UEs) 108 wherein the UEs are capable of being in the states, URA PCH, CELL PCH, CELL FACH or CELL DCH.
The object of the present invention to reduce the delay at an initiation of a data transfer is achieved by transferring the UE from the URA PCH or the CELL PCH state directly to the CELL DCH state. That is achieved by a transmission of a data transfer initiating message from the unit, i.e. the UE or the RNC in the UTRAN, that initiates the data transfer. The data initiating message comprises delay reducing information that is used for the transition of the UE from the URA PCH or the CELL PCH state directly to the CELL DCH state.
Thus the RNC comprises according to the present invention means for handling a data transfer initiating message and means for introducing a delay reducing information in the data transfer initiating. The RNC comprises further means for transferring the UE from the URA PCH or the CELL PCH state directly to the CELL DCH state by means of the delay reducing information in the data transfer initiating message. Accordingly, the UE comprises according to the present invention means for handling a data transfer initiating message and means for introducing delay reducing information in a data transfer initiating message. The UE comprises further a transmitter for transmitting the data transfer initiating message and a receiver for receiving a message from the RNC 102 comprising information for transferring the UE 108 from the URA PCH or the CELL PCH state directly to the CELL DCH state by means of the delay reducing information in the data transfer initiating message.
UE initiated data transfer
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the data transfer initiating message is an uplink Cell Update message transmitted by the UE. It is known that the Cell Update message can be extended with a traffic volume measurement. However, due to limitations on the air interface and the fact that the Cell update is transmitted on RLC transparent mode it is not desirable to extend the message size to the extent that would be needed.
A solution to the problem described above is to modify the Cell Update message in a way that provides certain delay reducing information about the traffic volume without significantly increasing the message size. The general idea is that instead of indicating the Traffic Nolume explicitly, it is indicated in relation to a threshold, e.g. if the Traffic Nolume is above a previously configured threshold. This threshold can be configurable by UTRAΝ. Normally the traffic volume measurements in the UE are configured in such a way that measurement reports in CELL_FACH are transmitted if the traffic volume exceeds a threshold and potentially the same value as used to trigger the transmission of a measurement report could be used for setting the flag in the Cell update message. This method would mean that no downlink signalling would need to be changed. However, the threshold for the Cell Update message can also be configured separately. In addition to the Traffic Nolume information it could be beneficial to indicate further delay reducing information, e.g. if the uplink data is available on a user radio bearer or a signalling radio bearer. This is also indicated in the cell update message according to one embodiment. The benefit with this additional info would be that the UTRAΝ may choose not to move UEs to CELLJDCH if the data comes from a signalling radio bearer since the transmission on signalling radio bearers is not expected to be extended in time.
In order to reduce the DCH setup time from CELL.PCH and URA_PCH it is an object of the present invention to be able to perform a direct switch to CELLJDCH. To facilitate a direct switch the present invention proposes to modify the format of the CELLJ PDATE message to indicate, e.g., whether the UE has a traffic volume above a configured threshold, which is preferably the same as the threshold for triggering of the traffic volume measurement. As it would imply a significant increase of the size of an enhanced CELLJUPDATE message with the information about the available UL traffic volume such that it would no longer fit into one RLC PDU, an alternative is to indicate with a flag if the traffic volume is, e.g., above the traffic volume threshold configured for the traffic volume measurement. This information is considered sufficient to assist the UTRAN in the decision if a UE should be moved to CELLJDCH or not and could facilitate the direct transfer to CELLJDCH from CELL/URA_PCH.
The following describes by means of non-limiting examples two conceivable embodiments to indicate said information. In one embodiment of the present invention, the delay reducing information is indicated in an extension of the Cell Update message. The Cell Update message is extended with a flag, e.g. a single bit, indicating the relation to a threshold value, e.g. if the traffic volume in the UE is above a threshold. Potentially a second bit is used to be able to separate if the traffic volume is available on an SRB or an RB (or both). This would extend the message size with a few bits including those needed for coding of the message extension.
Another embodiment of the present invention uses currently reserved Code points. In the current cell update message there exist some spare values, i.e. the code points that are currently not used but may be transmitted with the existing message coding. Thus, it would be a possible embodiment of the present invention to use one of the reserved code points in the Cell Update message to indicate the Traffic Nolume, e.g. if the Traffic Nolume is above the threshold. Potentially, up to several code points are used to be able to separate if the traffic volume is available on an SRB or an RB (or both). For example, a code point I could indicate a Traffic Nolume above the threshold on an RB, a code point II could indicate a Traffic Nolume above the threshold on an SRB, and a code point III could indicate a Traffic Nolume above the threshold on both SRB and RB. This method would not increase the message size at all. The method according to the present invention makes it possible to move user equipments quickly to CELLJDCH in case the traffic volume is large and to move user equipments to CELLJFACH in case the traffic volume is small. The method facilitates direct transition to DCH which reduces the DCH setup time significantly. The method can thus greatly improve the performance for applications where the UE is typically in CELLJ RAJPCH when data needs to be transmitted, e.g. web surfing.
UTRAΝ initiated data transfer
When a UTRAΝ initiated transition from CELL_PCH/URA_PCH to CELLJDCH is performed the UE transits directly to CELLJDCH without exchanging messages in CELL_FACH state in between according to the present invention. Thus, the CELL_PCH /URAJPCH transition to CELLJDCH is made faster since the paging message contains the DCH configuration according to a further embodiment of the present invention. This results in a signaling sequence as shown in figure 6. In this embodiment, the UTRAΝ orders the UE to CELLJDCH already in the data transfer initiating message, Paging type 1 message in step 1. The UE responds with a Radio Bearer Reconfiguration Complete message in step 2 and can then start to receive data on DCH. In order to make this solution possible a number of information elements need to be added to the paging type 1 message. In fact, content that is present in cell update confirm in figure 5 may be beneficial to add to the paging message. Also compared to the content of cell update confirm the identity used in the paging type 1 message is U-RΝTI and not C-RΝTI.
Examples of the delay reducing information in the data transfer initiating message, the paging type 1 message, are according to this embodiment of the present invention:
Physical- and transport channel configuration parameters, code allocation and radio bearer configuration, such as Frequency, UL DPCH info (e.g. scrambling code, spreading factor, TFCI configuration), DL DPCH info (e.g. spreading factor, rate matching, power offsets) DL RL info (e.g. primary CPICH), power control configurations and potential HS-DSCH configurations.
Some other information related to RB and Transport channels may also be beneficial, but since the paging type 1 message is sent in Transparent mode and without segmentation or re-transmissions the size need to be limited, only the crucial information have been listed here.
It could be noted that normally the cell where the UE is located is not known when the UE is in URAJPCH state, so the invention is of limited use for this scenario. This is because UTRAN need to know already when sending the paging message in which cell the UE is located in order not to establish a dedicated channel for the UE in all cells belonging to the URA. This could of course be done but would potentially mean waste of radio resources.
Therefore the invention is in particular beneficial for CELLJPCH UEs. For URAJPCH Ues there is a benefit in case the UE has made its presence in a cell known to UTRAN rather recently.
The following describes by means of non-limiting examples two conceivable embodiments to indicate the delay reducing information in an extension of the paging type 1 message: Explicit indication: The Paging type 1 message is extended with the explicit information needed to perform the direct transition to CELLJDCH.
Implicit indication: In order to save space in the paging type 1 message a previously transmitted downlink message (e.g. a RB reconfiguration message) moving the UE to CELLJPCH/URAJPCH comprises the delay reducing information, i.e. all or a part of the configurations needed to perform the direct transition to CELLJDCH at a later stage. The paging type 1 message itself that may be sent a long time later, and then only comprises the actual code that the UE should use and/or a pointer to the already sent physical channel configuration. As an alternative to extending the paging message with DCH information, the Cell Update Confirm message is modified to be transmitted on the paging channel (step 1 in figure 5) instead of the FACH. The method makes it possible to move UEs quickly to CELLJDCH in case the traffic volume is large. The method facilitates direct transition to DCH which reduces the DCH setup time significantly. The method can greatly improve the performance for applications where the UE is typically in CELL_PCH/URA_PCH when data needs to be transmitted to the UE (e.g. Push-to-Talk services). Thus the RNC in accordance with present invention comprises means for transmitting a paging message on a paging channel, PCH, to the UE and means for receiving a cell update message from the UE The RNC comprises further means for transmitting a cell update confirm, message on a Forward Access Channel, FACH, and means for transferring the UE from the URA PCH or the CELL PCH state directly to the CELL DCH state.
Accordingly, the UE comprises means for receiving a paging message on a paging channel, PCH, from the RNC and means for transmitting a cell update message to the RNC. The UE further comprises means for receiving a cell update confirm message on a Forward Access Channel, FACH, and means for transferring the UE from the URA PCH or the CELL PCH state directly to the CELL DCH state.
