The technical field to which the invention relates

The present invention, in General, refers to wireless networks that provide multiplayer («share») broadcast content of a direct line of communication to different broadcast channels. In particular, in conditions when the mobile station, the host broadcast content, optionally accepts or establishes a point-to-point call, the invention relates to operations for the proper management of point-to-point call and/or broadcasting connection.

The level of equipment

Many famous communications systems transmit data signals from the station-sender physically excellent station-recipient. The information signal is first converted to type, suitable for efficient transmission over the communication channel. Conversion, or of the modulation of the information signal involves changing the parameter carrier wave in accordance with the information signal so that the spectrum obtained modulated carrier fit into the bandwidth of the communications channel. At the station-the recipient of the original information signal is restored from a modulated carrier wave, adopted by the communication channel. Such recovery, in General, is achieved using the reverse process of the modulation applied at stations of the sender.

Modulation also facilitates multiple access, i.e. simultaneous transmission and/or reception of multiple signals through a common communication channel. Communication system of multiple access often include a combination of subscriber units, which require periodic maintenance of relatively short duration and not continuous access to a shared communications channel. In the technique, there are several methods of multiple access, namely multiple access time division of channels (mdvr, D), multiple access with frequency division multiple access (FDMA equipment, FD), multiple access with amplitude modulation (AM) and multiple access code division multiplexing (MTCR, D) with extension by the spectrum. Communication system of multiple access can be wireless or wired and can carry voice and/or data.

In the system of bilateral connections on multiple access communications between users through one or more base stations. In one example, one user first mobile wireless station is associated with another user, the second mobile wireless stations, transmitting the data to the base station back on line. The base station receives data and, if necessary, routes data to another base station. In the end, the data is transmitted in a straight line end base station for the second mobile station. Under direct line of communication means transferring of the base station for wireless mobile station and under the «feedback» link understand the transmission of wireless mobile station to the base station. In many communication systems is a direct link and return line communication use different frequencies.

The communication also can be between one user on the wireless mobile station and other user on the stationary station. In this case, the base station receives data from the mobile station back on line and routes data through the public switched telephone network (PSTN PSTN) for the lift station. Communication can also be done in opposite direction.

The aforementioned wireless services are examples of «service point-to-point connection. In contrast, the «broadcasting services» deliver information from the Central station on multiple mobile station («multidrop» link). The basic model of the broadcasting system consists of the broadcasting network of customers served by one or more Central stations, which carry news, movies, sports events or other content to users. Each mobile station monitors the overall broadcast signal direct communication line. Since the Central station strictly defines the content, users typically have no feedback. Examples of common use of communication systems, broadcasting services are television, radio and other Such communication systems usually strictly specialized.

In connection with the latest achievements of wireless telephone systems have seen a growing interest in the use of existing, mainly, point-to-point wireless telephone infrastructure for additional shipping services broadcast. In this respect, a number of important progress was achieved by QUALCOMM CORPORATION, San Diego, California.

The above links are incorporated by reference the description of the invention.

Although the above applications in many respects satisfactory, one aspect of wireless broadcasting systems, which have not been fully developed, is initiating point-to-point calls involving mobile wireless stations, already receiving services broadcast shared.

Summary of the invention

Detailed description

The nature, tasks and advantages of the invention specialists in this field will understand, having considered the following detailed description, together with the accompanying drawings.

The hardware components and the relationships between them

Wireless communication system

Broadcast content comes from one or several servers content (SC) 102. The server 102 content contains one or more machines, processing of digital data, such as personal computers, PC workstation, universal computer, computer network, microprocessor or other computing device to deliver broadcast content in the batch (or other) format on the nodes of service packet data coverage (UOBDU) 106 through the connection 104 Internet Protocol (IP) or the other (not shown) no-IP network or a direct connection. Depending on the specific implementation of the nodes 106 can use the same or different hardware, such as the switching nodes packet data (UCPD), well-known in wireless telephony. According to the destination of each packet nodes 106 deliver the package to the appropriate module 108 options package management (state). Each module 108 manages various functions of base stations 110 related to the delivery of services of high-speed broadcast. Besides other functions modules 108 forward broadcast packets on the base station 110. Each module 108 can use the same or different hardware such as controller base station (KBS), well-known in wireless telephony.

Base station 110 deliver broadcast content and traditional wireless telephone calls on a mobile station (MS) 114. Base station 110 can be realized using equipment, such as that used in traditional base stations, commercial use today.

Illustrative device of digital data processing

Entity data, such as base station, mobile station, components 102, 106, 108, 110, 114, or any one or more of their sub-components can be implemented in various forms. One example is the device of processing digital data, as described in an illustrative manner in the form of hardware components and connections between them as a device to 200 processing of digital data in figure 2.

The device is 200 includes processor 202, such as the microprocessor, a personal computer, workstation, controller, microcontroller, the state machine or another machine processing, connected to a storage device 204. In this example, the memory device 204 includes storage device 206 quick access, and nonvolatile 208. Storage device 206 quick access may contain random access memory (RAM) and can be used to store program instructions executed by the processor 202. Nonvolatile 208 may contain, for example, RAM, battery-powered, EEPROM, flash memory, one or more drives magnetic data storage, such as hard drive, tape drive, or any other appropriate storage device. The device is 200 also includes the device 210 I/o, such as line, bus, cable, electromagnetic communication line or other facility that allows the processor 202 to communicate with other equipment, external to the device 200.

Despite the specifics of the above description specialists in this field (considering this description), it is evident that the above device can be realized as a machine of a different design, without straying from the scope of the invention. As a concrete example, one of the components 206, 208, you can exclude; in addition, storage device, 204, 206 and/or 208 can be built into the processor 202 or even provided outside the unit 200.

The logical scheme

In contrast to the above devices of digital data processing another option exercise uses logic instead of computer-running teams for implementation of various manufacturing entities, for example, mentioned above. Depending on the specific requirements of applications in terms of speed, cost, cost instrumentation, etc. you can implement this logic in the form of specialized integrated circuits (SIS), with thousands of microscopic transistors built. Such a SYSTEM can be implemented in the form of CMOS, TTL, or other appropriate design. Other alternatives include digital signal processor (DSPS), discrete scheme (for example, resistors, capacitors, diodes, inductance and transistors), valve matrix, user-programmable (PPWM), programmable logic array (PLA), programmable logic device (PLD), etc.

Wireless telephone

4 additionally shows the structure of an illustrative mobile station 114 depicted as a wireless phone 400. Telephone 400 includes a loudspeaker, 408, user interface 410, microphone 414, transceiver, 404, antenna 406, block 402 management, as well as other traditional schemes, which may vary depending on the application. Block 402 management, which may include the schema, for example, considered in relation to the figure 2 (above), is used to control the operation of the components 404, 408, 410 414, as well as for routing the signals between components.

We have described the different structural characteristics, and now for some operational aspects of the present invention. As noted above, the operational aspect of the present invention provides for the management of point-to-point call and/or shared broadcasting connection with the conditions when the mobile station, the host broadcast multi-drop program, optionally accepts or establishes a point-to-point call.

Migration environment signal

Whenever any function of the present invention is implemented using one or more of machine-executable program sequences, such a sequence can be implemented in various forms of media transfer of a signal. In the context of figure 2 such migration environment signal can contain, for example, storage device, 204 or otherwise transfer of a signal, such as a floppy 300 magnetic data storage (figure 3), directly or indirectly available to the processor 202. Being in a storage device 206 quick access to the floppy 300 or in a different location, commands can be stored in a variety of computer-readable storage environments. Some examples include mass storage devices in a direct access (for example, the traditional «hard disk», the matrix inexpensive devices with redundancy (RAID) or other storage device direct access (SOPD), storage sequential access device, such as a magnetic tape or optical, electronic nonvolatile memory (e.g., ROM, EEPROM, flash memory, or EEPROM, RAM with battery power supply, optical storage device (for example, CD-ROM, WORM, DVD, digital optical tape), paper punch cards or other suitable migration environment signal, including analog or digital media, analog and digital communication channels and wireless communication channels. Illustrative variant of the invention, a machine-readable commands may contain software object codes compiled language, such as Assembly language, etc.

The logical scheme

In contrast to the above environment signal transfer some or all of the functions of the present invention can be realized using a logical scheme, and not using the processor to execute commands. This is therefore a logical scheme adapted to perform aspect of the way of the invention. Logical scheme can be realized using many different types of circuit discussed above.

Model call the mobile station

Each mobile station 114 acts according to the state diagram 560 shown in figa. Able 562 «waiting», a mobile station keeps track of the shared channel search call and shared service channel, described in detail below. These channels are shared in the sense that each base station broadcasts on these channels on all wireless stations in the coverage area. In short, shared channel search call informs mobile station for incoming calls, and shared service channel delivers a variety of information related to the system. Able 562 «waiting», a mobile station can additionally take multi-drop broadcast content from the base station by one or more shared broadcasters. Able 562 «waiting», a mobile station transmitter is disabled.

In one case, the transition from 563 «waiting» 562 the «access» 564 may occur when a mobile station sends a message to REGISTRATION («registration»)informing the nearby base station on the presence, identification, features, etc. of the mobile station. In this case, the transition from a state 564 «access» back to «waiting» 562 after the REGISTRATION message.

In another case, the transition from 563 «waiting» 562 the «access» 564 occurs in establishing a point-to-point call, or a mobile station, or any other party. For example, if the other party initiates a call, the mobile station receives the message retrieval call on a shared channel search call. Once the mobile station responds to search a call on a shared channel «access», a mobile station receives the appointment of canal traffic, which should be point-to-point call. The mobile station is initiating an outgoing call, sending an appropriate message on the access channel, and then in the same way accepts assignment of the channel.

The transition from 565 «access» to 564 «traffic» 566 occurs when there is an incoming or outgoing call and the mobile station and the base station are beginning to make the communication channel traffic. Able 566 «traffic» mobile station uses individual channel traffic to implement point-to-point connection with another party. Reinitiated point-to-point call can transmit voice, data or even broadcast information, as described below. If point-to-point call transfers broadcast content, it substitutes any shared broadcasting, which the mobile station had previously able 562 «pending».

The transition from «traffic» 566 back to «waiting» 562 happens when a two-point call ends of a party or when the connection is terminated for any other reason. The transition 567 involves releasing traffic channels used for the implementation of point-to-point call. If this point-to-point call contained broadcast content, then the transition 567 can, optionally, to lead to the resumption of delivery of broadcast content over a shared channel in the state 562 «pending».

Channels

On FIGU-5D showing some of the primary communication channels used for transferring information between a mobile station and the base station status of «pending», «access» and «traffic», discussed above. The broadcasters of the present invention can be used to transfer data, audio, video, or any other useful content.

Under the "communication channel/link understand the physical or logical channel channel depending on the context. «Physical channel» means the route of communication over which the signal propagates, described in terms of the characteristics of modulation and encoding. «The logical channel» means the route due to Protocol the levels of base stations or mobile station. Under the «reverse channel/reverse link understand channel of communication/communication line, according to which(Oh) mobile station transmits signals to the base station. Under «direct channel/direct line» understand channel of communication/communication line on which I base station sends signals to the mobile station.

The status of " waiting»

On FIGU shows the status 562 «pending». Base station 504 transmits on official channel 505 for admission to the mobile station 502, as well as on other mobile stations supported by the base station. Service link 505 contains a recurrent system information, such as information on neighboring base stations, access information (for example, the recommended levels of capacity, maximum message size, etc.) and system settings (for example, levels of product revisions, supported features, etc.). In the system of CDMA-2000, official channel 505 may contain direct broadcast control channel (F_BCCH).

For example, the content service channel 505 includes the message parameters broadcasting system (BSPM)that specifies each of the various programs of broadcasting that are available on a shared and/or individual channels. «Program» is the specific stream broadcast content, such as news CNN or ESPN, or the weather information, etc. BSPM specifies what program is passed on each of the shared channel base station (and the frequency or another channel identifier) and what programs you can get for individual channels (with specific frequencies to be determined at the time of establishing services on an individual channel). In BSPM also lists some other information, which is described in more detail below in connection with Fig.6.

Base station 504 also transmits on a shared channel search call 506 for admission to all mobile stations supported by the base station. Each mobile station, served by a base station 504, monitor the channel search call 506, so that they can be changed by entering a two-point of the call or other information to them. In CDMA-2000 the channel search call 506 presents the direct control channel (F_CCCH).

Shared a broadcast channel 508 covers, potentially, many shared subchannels broadcasting (parallel channels), on which base station 504 passes for mobile stations that are in the coverage area of the base station. In the broad sense of the communication system 100 provides the service of broadband and broadcasting using the "additional direct broadcasting channel" (F_BSCH, which allows for high speed data transfer and suitable for the reception of a large number of mobile stations. Direct additional broadcast channel contains, for example, one physical channel of direct communication line, which transmits the broadcast traffic. One or more channels of high speed broadcasting multiplexes with time division in one straight shared a broadcast channel. Thus, the channel 508 can carry several different programs broadcast.

Shared broadcasters 508 can be freely available to all wireless stations or limited mobile stations, which have fulfilled certain stages of registration. Because the channel 508 is a universal broadcast to all mobile stations in the zone of coating, mobile station, in the end, dispose of whether the user to access broadcasting or not, based on whether the user is logged in. For example, each shared a broadcast channel can be encrypted prescribed by code that is available only to registered mobile stations.

On figs shows the status 564 «access». Mobile station 502 continues welcome to the official channel 505, channel search call 506 and shared broadcast channel 508. Shared access channel 522 used by all mobile stations, served by a base station 504. To start a two-point call, channel access 522 can be used in two ways. For incoming calls, the mobile station 502 uses the access channel 522 to respond to search a call when another station initiate point-to-point call to the mobile station 502. For outgoing calls mobile station 502 uses the access channel 522, to request the initiation point-to-point call. In the Protocol CDMA-2000 access channel 522 presents reverse channel access (R_ACH). Able 564 «access» mobile station 502 can continue to track shared a broadcast channel 508.

In addition to initiate point-to-point call the mobile station 502 can use the access channel 522 that from time to time to convey the message of REGISTRATION. It serves to inform the wireless network on the location of mobile station 502, as well as other sensitive information. In case of any message, REGISTRATION or other similar messages in the status 564 «access» mobile station 502 back to «waiting» 562, without entering into the state 566 «traffic».

The status of «traffic»

On fig.5D shows the status 566 «traffic». In this state channels traffic 552, 554 together to provide two-way data transmission point-to-point call between a mobile station 502 and the base station 504. Channels 552, 554 are allocated channels for the personal use of a mobile station 502. Direct channel traffic 552, logical channel, includes physical parallel channels, namely channel a content and traffic channel 552b signaling traffic. Channel a content traffic migrates content, such as voice information or data sent from the base station 504 to the mobile station 502. Channel 552b signaling traffic moves information signaling, such as service commands, metadata, system information, and other information that describes the channel a and/or its content. In an alternative embodiment, channels 552a, 552b can be not connected and not parallel channels as described. Reverse channel traffic 554 also includes parallel channels 554a, 554b content and signaling traffic, carrying us in the direction opposite to the direction of the channel 552.

In the «traffic» mobile station is not using the access channel 522, official channel 505 or channel search call 506, because this information is transferred via dedicated channels 552b, 554b alarm.

Able 566 «traffic» mobile station 502 might continue to receive broadcast content. However, the delivery of broadcast content in conjunction with point-to-point call 552/554 with the necessity carried by an individual, point-to-point channel 556, not on a shared channel 508. This mainly happens because procedures alarm and control necessary for the correct operation of mobile station, differ significantly for channels operating in the States of «waiting» and «traffic», which makes mobile station can only be in one of these States at any given time. Therefore, when using channels traffic 552, 554 exchange of any broadcast information at this time, with a need, by channel traffic 556, and the content is piped 556a and alarm channel 556b.

In total in the case of any channel for direct communication line, suitable for point-to-point calls, can be used as private broadcasters 556. Below are some additional features. One possibility, for example, using CDMA-2000 is a direct primary channel (F_FCH) or a direct dedicated control channel (F_DCCH), which provide a 14.4 Kbit/S. the Other possibility is direct additional channel (F_SCH), which provides up to 1 Mbit/sec Another opportunity is a direct channel of packet data (F_PDCH), which delivers faster service, up to 2.4 Mbit/S.

Unlike States 562 «waiting» and 19 «access», in which the mobile station 502 communicates only with one base station, mobile station 502 in the «traffic» can exchange traffic and broadcast content and information alarm with several base stations in order soft to obtain excessive signal or other goals. Therefore, experts in the field (following this description will realize that the term "base station" is used herein in the singular solely for ease of viewing. Mobile station in the state of «traffic» can communicate with several base stations at the same time.

Physical and logical channels used in the services of high-speed broadcast, discussed in more detail in the following references are included in this description by reference: (1) Standard physical layer CDMA-2000, known as IS_2000.2, (2) the patent application, US no 09/933,978, filed August 20, 2001, entitled "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIGNALLING IN BROADCAST COMMUNICATIONS SYTEM" Method and system for signalling in broadcast communication system). The use of shared and dedicated channels for broadcasting information disclosed in the following link, fully included in this description by reference: the patent application, US no 60/279,970, filed March 28, 2001, entitled "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GROUP CALLS USING DEDICATED AND COMMON CHANNELS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS" (the method and the device for group calls using dedicated and shared-channel wireless networks).

BSPM

Subject to the foregoing, each base station with the possibility of re-broadcasting broadcasts representative BSPM on official channel 505, to inform the mobile station about available at the base station's broadcasting content and relevant information. Figure 6 shows the contents illustrative BSPM 600 to consider the base station. Although for ease of understanding BSPM is presented in table format, in practice it is a stream of signals, including headers, trailers, and package information, or other metadata and format suitable for wireless broadcast.

According Fig.6 BSPM 600 includes various columns, each of which represents a separate category of information. In column 600 shows the content of the channel, namely «program broadcast of this channel. In column 606 specified, programmed whether you've set whether or equipped otherwise the base station, to be able to provide the specified program for individual channels, i.e. «do» this program on an individual channel.

In column 608 specified, equipped whether this base station to provide the specified program on a shared channel that is «available» this program on a shared channel from the base station. In column 604 lists the different characteristics of the shared channel used to broadcast the program, for example, the code Walsh, modulation type, coding Viterbi, data rate, bug fixes, etc. In column 609 specify the identity of the shared channel (if applicable)used for broadcasting the program, namely logical frequency and/or physical bandwidth used by the base station. In column 610 indicated, does at the moment the base station specified program on shared channel 609.

BSPM can be expanded to include various other information, and also to reduce to exclude some of the above information. For example, the base station can provide the IDs 609 channel on demand, to reduce BSPM 600 and save bandwidth on the service channel 505. Similarly, column 610 «passed now» can be omitted because the mobile station can use the method of trial and error to determine, reports whether the base station of a specific program on shared channel.

In addition, as noted below, BSPM can be omitted entirely. In another version, the only content BSPM can be a flag (not shown), pointing to the fact that broadcasting services generally available, and additional information will be available from the base station on request of the mobile station.

The work in General

Figure 7 shows the sequence 700 generally wireless communication system with respect to the processing point-to-point calls initiated by a mobile station (or installed with it)when the mobile station is already taking a broadcasting program through shared a broadcast channel. For ease of description, without any deliberate restrictions sequence 700 described in connection with the components shown in figure 1-6, as described above.

For simplicity, figure 7 (as Fig-10) shows the different operations carried out by "mobile station", which can also be called a mobile device, subscriber station, wireless telephone, or otherwise, depending on the context. In addition, these figures are also shown with other operations of «network»under which to understand the network device wireless communications systems, one or more base stations or one or more of the other components of the software and/or hardware infrastructure and communications systems.

At the stage 702 point-to-point connection is initiated between the wireless mobile station and the remote side. This happens when the wireless mobile station is already taking broadcast content in multiplayer broadcast channel is direct communication line. Point-to-point call can be initiated from the mobile station («inbound») or initiated by the remote side, establishing a call with a mobile station («outbound»).

At the stage 704 set preferences in relation to prescribed categories of conditions that includes at least the following: (1) whether to continue the reception of broadcast content, (2) the choice between the two-point call and broadcast media content, if network resources are unable to simultaneously run point-to-point call and deliver broadcast content. In the case of an incoming call categories also include whether to accept incoming point-to-point call. Optionally other prescribed category of working conditions may include a choice among several programs broadcast content, if network resources are unable to pass all at once. For example, it may be preferred broadcast on CNN ESPN etc.

In the illustrated embodiment, a mobile station provides step 704, prompting the operator-the person, referring to a pre-saved preferences, using the default options, or by a combination of these or other actions; in this embodiment, the mobile station also notifies the wireless network preferences. In an alternative embodiment, some or all of the preferences of mobile devices can be pre-stored in the network to avoid the need for a mobile device to inform the network about the preferences. Preliminary conservation can be specified for all circumstances, for this period of time, for certain calls or phone numbers, or any other reason.

Stage 706 performed in accordance with the ideas for communication in one of the following modes: (1) implementation of point-to-point call and receive interrupt broadcast, (2) implementation of the point-to-point call and continuing the broadcast. In the case of an incoming call regimes also include stops execution of the incoming point-to-point call and continuing the broadcast. In the illustrated embodiment stage 706 perform the primary base station that communicates with a mobile station and the stage 706 provides one of the following operations: (1) if the preferences of mobile devices provide the gap broadcast, running point-to-point call despite the continuation of broadcasting, (2) if the preference of the mobile device provides the choice in favor of the two-point call before broadcast, running point-to-point call, if network resources are able to simultaneously implement point-to-point call and broadcast content, (3) if the preference of the mobile device provides the choice in favor broadcast before the two-point call, interrupt the execution of the two-point of the call, if network resources are unable to simultaneously perform point-to-point call and broadcast content. In the case of an incoming call when the mobile device is a preference not to take the call, the additional possibility is that the base station aborts the call and allows a mobile device to continue the broadcast.

Illustrative codes messages

In different systems of communication mdkr like CDMA-2000, the mobile station and the network communicate using a variety of standard messages sense, such as a message ORIGINATION («initiation»), the REGISTRATION message, the message PAGE RESPONSE («the response to the search challenge) and many others. For a more detailed illustration of one specific case for an open system, without any deliberate limitations, to complement standard messages used by various codes messages. Codes of messages may be included with interconnected packet data that is embedded in the title or other metadata, or otherwise Packed with carrying messages. In an alternative embodiment, codes messages are sent as a separate message. Some codes messages are used for messages sent from a mobile station in network, the other is used for messages sent from the network to the mobile device. When the value of the message code, e.g. "0" or "1", the code name of the message can be omitted if the type code the message is clear from the relative position or other information, the inherent value of the message code. For example, code message and the "BCMCS_REQ=1" can be reduced by the value "1"if it is clearly defined. Some illustrative codes messages and their meanings are discussed below.

This code message is sent by a mobile station together with the message that receives an incoming call (for example, the message PAGE RESPONSE) or jointly with the message that establishes an outgoing call (for example, the message ORIGINATION). A value of "1" indicates that the mobile station simultaneous requests shared broadcasting initiated jointly with point-to-point call. A value of "0" means that the mobile station is not simultaneous requests shared broadcasting.

BCMCS_REQ_PRIORITY

This code message is sent together with the message that receives an incoming call or establishes an outgoing call. In connection with this broadcasting program MessageID BCMCS_ID_PRIORITY specifies the priority of this broadcast over other specified broadcasting programs if network resources are unable to simultaneously ensure that all programs. Appropriate broadcast a program that can be identified through other message parameter, or the code, for example, code message service identifier broadcasting (BCMCS_ID). For BCMCS_ID_PRIORITY, the value "1" means that this program has a higher priority compared to other programs, and a value of "0" means that the program has a lower priority. Alternatively, the code BCMCS_ID_PRIORITY can use a greater range of values (for example, 1-10)that the mobile device could possible to differentiate broadcast programme in relation to each other.

BCMCS_INFO_INCL

This code message is sent by the network to the mobile station together with a message that is making the call from the mobile station. For example, code message BCMCS_INFO_INCL can be provided jointly with communication CHANNEL assignment channel»)that assigns a channel to the mobile station for use in the implementation of the two-point call. A value of "1" indicates that the message CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT also includes information, the providing individual broadcast channel mobile station, and a value of "0" indicates that the information broadcast channel is not enabled.

USE_SAME_BCMCS_INF

This code message transmitted by a network together with the message that is making the call from the mobile station, for example, the message CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT. If the value "1" indicates that the mobile device must continue to use the same information broadcasting channel, and a value of "0" indicates that note of mobile devices includes new information broadcasting channel. Information broadcasting channel can include the frequency data rate, the code Walsh and/or other characteristics.

NUM_BCMCS_SESSION, NUM_FBSCH

These codes messages are sent by the network to identify the broadcast channels and other information with a configuration of point-to-point call granted and configuration broadcasting changes. MessageID NUM_BCMCS_SESSION specifies the number of broadcast programs that are assigned to this mobile station, and NUM_FBSCH specifies the number of additional broadcast channels to be used when delivering broadcast.

These and other codes messages described in more detail below in connection with the corresponding figures.

Mobile station - outgoing call

On Fig depicted operations 800, which performs the mobile station to start the outgoing point-to-point call when the mobile device is already taking shared broadcasting. For ease of description, without any deliberate limitation, 800 sequence described in connection with the components shown in figure 1-6, which are discussed above.

At the stage 802 mobile station receives operator initiate point-to-point call the remote station. This occurs when the mobile station is already taking a broadcasting program multiplayer broadcasting channel of direct communication line. At the stage 802 mobile station is able 562 «pending». Operator initiating can be done, for example, the operator typing in the phone number or the appropriate code short set with the keyboard, panel data, your device speech recognition or any other means.

In response to the operator's initiation, a mobile station defines the different preferences of the call (phase 803), and then does various steps (804-815) respectively. In the illustrated example preference processing of call include the decision whether a mobile station to continue to be shared broadcasting, and the choice of priority, if the network resource conflict arises between point-to-point call and broadcasting. A mobile station can implement phase 803, prompting the operator-man, turning to account preferences, pre-stored on the mobile station or at another location using a default value or a combination of these or other methods.

If the preferences of the call on the stage 802 indicate the lack of desire to continue broadcasting, mobile station sends the message ORIGINATION, to start the call (phase 806). The result is a mobile device moves from «pending» to 562 in «access» 564. Mobile station sends additional messages expressing no interest in the continuation of reception of broadcast content. Additional messages can be routed separately from the message ORIGINATION or be incremental part, such as the option previously specified flag, the console, or other component metadata. For example, additional messages can contain MessageID BCMCS_REQ with a value of "0". After stage 1 806 mobile device waits (807) network alarm to call, for example, by sending a message CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT.

Unlike stages 806-807 step 808 is, if the stage 804 indicates a desire to continue broadcasting. At the stage 808 mobile station transmits the message ORIGINATION, to start the call, bringing the mobile device moves from «pending» to 562 in «access» 564. The mobile station transmits an additional message expressing interest in the continuation of reception of broadcast content. Additional messages can be routed separately from the message ORIGINATION or be incremental part, such as the option previously specified flag, the console, or other component metadata. For example, additional messages can contain MessageID BCMCS_REQ with a value of "1".

After step 808 transition from stage 810 stages 812 or 814 depending on whether the preferences of the call (from the stage 803)that the broadcast is preferable point-to-point call (812) or Vice versa (813). If you prefer broadcasting, the mobile device sends (812) additional messages indicating that the broadcasting takes precedence in the event of any conflict. Additional messages can be routed separately from the message ORIGINATION (step 808) or to be an incremental part, such as the option previously specified flag, the console, or other component metadata. For example, additional messages can contain MessageID BCMCS_REQ_PRIORITY with a value of "0". Besides, at the stage 812 when the mobile device takes a number of broadcast programs, the mobile device can be set relative priorities among several of broadcast programs. For example, this can be achieved by using code messages BCMCS_ID_PRIORITY. After phase 812 mobile device waits (813) network alarm to call, for example, by sending a message CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT. Finally, when the call is made, the mobile device will state 566 «traffic».

If point-to-point call has a preference over broadcasting (in the event of any conflict), there is a transition from a phase of 810 to step 814. At the stage 814 mobile device sends more messages indicating that the call has precedence over broadcasting in the event of any conflict. Additional messages can be routed separately from the message ORIGINATION (step 808) or to be an incremental part, such as the option previously specified flag, the console, or other component metadata. For example, additional messages can contain MessageID BCMCS_REQ_PRIORITY with a value of "1". After stage 1 814 mobile device waits (815) network alarm to call, for example, by sending messages to the destination channel. Finally, when the call is made, the mobile device will state 566 «traffic».

Mobile station - incoming call

Figure 9 shows the relationship 900 implemented a mobile station for processing incoming point-to-point call when the mobile device is already taking shared broadcast program. For ease of description, without any deliberate limitations, Suite 900 described in connection with the components shown in figure 1-6, which are discussed above.

At the stage 902 mobile station receives network notification of point-to-point call from a remote station. This occurs when the mobile station is already taking broadcast content in multiplayer broadcast channel is direct communication line and is able 562 «pending». Network notification can be effected, for example, by receiving messages search call from the base station communicates with the mobile station. When notified of a call, the mobile station is transferred to the state 564 «access».

In accordance with the stage 902 mobile station needs of operator input to determine whether to accept or reject incoming call (phase 903). A mobile station can implement phase 903 via a telephone call, vibration, display a message or a combination of these or other actions with the subsequent reception of operator input via speech, stylus, keyboard, etc. Alternative, stage 904 can be done with no operator input, for example, if a mobile device is programmed by standing instructions, for example, to handle incoming calls.

After phase 903 transition from stage 904 stages 905 906 and depending on that, prefers whether the operator can reject an incoming call (906) or receive a call (905). If the call is rejected, then there is a transition from a phase of 904 to step 906, on which a mobile device rejects the search network call, for example, sending a negative message PAGE RESPONSE or ignoring the answer to search call. In this case, the mobile device moves from a state 564 «access» in the status 562 «pending».

In case of making a call occurs in the transition from the stage 904 to step 905, where the mobile device defines the different preferences of the call. In the illustrated example preference call concern decisions relative to prescribed categories of working conditions, including the following: (1) whether to continue the reception of broadcast content, (2) the choice between the two-point call and broadcast media content, if network resources are unable to simultaneously run point-to-point call and deliver broadcast content. At the stage 905 mobile station can collect preferences of the call, requesting operator-man, turning to account preferences, pre-stored on the mobile station or at another location using a default value or a combination of these or other methods.

Defining the preferences of the call, the mobile device sends to the network, additional messages indicating these preferences, which are described in more detail below. In particular, there is a transition from a phase of 908 stages 910 or 912 depending on, do the preferences of the call (from the stage 905) the maintenance of a broadcasting connection (910) or refusal of broadcasting (912).

If your mobile device wants to break broadcasting connection, the mobile device sends a message PAGE RESPONSE, receiving a call (phase 912); mobile station also provides additional messages expressing no interest in reception of broadcast content. Additional messages can be routed separately from the message PAGE RESPONSE or to be incremental part, for example, the option of pre-defined flag, the console, or other component metadata. For example, additional messages can contain MessageID BCMCS_REQ with a value of "0". After phase 912 mobile device waits (913) network alarm to call, for example, by sending a message CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT, after which the mobile device will state 566 «traffic».

If the stage 908 it turns out that we have to support broadcasting connection, the mobile device sends a message PAGE RESPONSE, receiving a call (phase 910); mobile station also provides additional messages expressing interest in the continuation of reception of broadcast content. Additional messages can be routed separately from the message PAGE RESPONSE or to be incremental part, such as the option previously specified flag, the console, or other component metadata. For example, additional messages can contain MessageID BCMCS_REQ with a value of "1".

After phase 910 transition from stage 914 stages 916, 918, or 920 in dependence from that, is there any preferences of the call (from the stage 905), broadcasting preferable point-to-point call (916), point-to-point call preferable broadcasting (920) or such preference unknown (phase 918). If broadcasting is preferable, while the mobile device sends (916) additional messages indicating that the broadcasts have priority, in case of any conflict. For example, additional messages can contain MessageID BCMCS_REQ_PRIORITY with a value of "0". If point-to-point call preferable, while the mobile device sends (920) additional messages that indicate that the call has precedence. For example, additional messages can contain MessageID BCMCS_REQ_PRIORITY with a value of "1". Additional messages sent to the stages 916, 920, can be separate from the messages PAGE RESPONSE (phase 910) or to be an incremental part, such as the option previously specified flag, the console, or other component metadata. After stages 916 or 920 mobile device waits at the stages 917 or 921 (respectively) network alarm to call, for example, by sending a message CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT, after which the mobile device will state 566 «traffic».

If the relative priorities of the call/broadcast unknown, the mobile device disclaims any designation of priority selection at this time, for example, by sending (918) additional messages from unknown priority». These additional messages can be routed separately from the message PAGE RESPONSE (phase 910) or to be an incremental part, such as the option previously specified flag, the console, or other component metadata. Alternatively, instead of sending any messages relating to the «unknown»priority, the mobile device indicates this fact to the exclusion of any communications relating to priority, and in this case, the phase 918 excluded. After phase 918 or after stage 914, if the stage 918 excluded, the mobile device waits (919) from the network message CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT. Accepting the appointment channel (phase 923), mobile station sends the presentation of the priorities of the call/broadcasting, after which provides point-to-point call, broadcasting or both, depending on the prescription network in accordance with the availability of network resources for these actions. If point-to-point call is made, the mobile device will state 566 «traffic».

Network operations

At the stage 1002 network accepts initiation point-to-point call to or from the specified mobile device. If the call is established with the remote station to the mobile station, the notification on the stage 1002 arrives in the form of a message PAGE RESPONSE mobile devices (for example, figure 9, stages 910, 912). If the call is established from the mobile station to a remote station, the notification on the stage 1002 arrives in the form of the message ORIGINATION (for example, Fig, stages 806, 808).

If the message PAGE RESPONSE rejects the incoming point-to-point call, then the network interrupts the point-to-point call (phase 1005). If the message PAGE RESPONSE indicates acceptance of challenge or if the given point-to-point call is incoming call, then there is a transition from a phase of 1002 to step 1003.

At the stage 1003 network receives a notification about the preferences of the call mobile devices that include at least: (1) whether to continue the reception of broadcast content, (2) the choice between the two-point call and broadcast media content, if network resources do not allow simultaneous point-to-point call and broadcast content. In the illustrated example, that a network accepts (1003) as the preferences of the call mobile device corresponds to the mobile device transfers the messages that are additional to PAGE RESPONSE (for example, at the stages 910, 912, 914, 918, or 920), or in messages that are additional to CALL ORIGINATION («initiate call») (for example, at the stages 806, 809, 812, 814). Examples of these messages are above codes messages.

After phase 1003 depending on the preferences of the call mobile device network has one of the following: (1) the implementation of point-to-point call despite the continuation of broadcasting, (2) executing the two point of call if your network resources is able to simultaneously implement point-to-point call and broadcast content, (3) interruption of the execution of the two-point of the call, if network resources are unable to simultaneously perform point-to-point call and broadcast content.

In particular, at the stage 1004 network starts 1006, if the preferences of the call mobile devices Express a lack of interest in broadcasting. In this case, the network participates in regular establishing point-to-point call. The network uses expressed disinterest mobile device in the broadcasting service in order for termination of the broadcast for this mobile device; in particular, this network may set a flag BCMCS_INFO_INCL to "0" in the message CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT. However, other mobile devices continue to take shared service broadcasting.

If at the stage 1004 turns out that the preferences of the call indicate an interest in broadcasting the changeover from the stage 1004 to step 1018. At the stage 1018 network determines whether an individual channel for broadcast instead of this shared channel. It depends adapted whether the base station that communicates with a mobile device to provide a broadcasting program for individual channels, but also, is it possible to justify the base station needs the power to assign individual channel. Individual channel is preferred because broadcast control for individual channels, similar to the operation of point-to-point call and, consequently, network procedures easier. If an individual channel is available, then the network assigns a mobile device this channel (phase 1020) and begins to transmit broadcast content to the mobile device on this channel. Delivery of broadcast content to individual channels are examined in more detail in patent applications, USA, owned by QUALCOMM CORPORATION, including one or more of the above patent applications QUALCOMM CORPORATION.

If at the stage 1018 turns out that individual channel is available, the procedure 1000 starts 1008. At the stage 1008 network sends the procedure 1000 stages 1014, 1012, or 1015 based on the selection of mobile devices relative to broadcast or point-to-point call specified by the preferences of the call (from the stage 1003). Stage 1014 selected when broadcasting is preferable point-to-point call (in accordance with the steps 812, 916), phase 1010 is chosen when the priority is known (in accordance with the stage 918), and phase 1016 is chosen when the priority is point-to-point call (in accordance with the steps 814, 920).

Like a stage 1014 on stage 1016 determination is made whether the network simultaneously to implement point-to-point call and delivery shared broadcast content. However, unlike stage 1014, if the network could not make a call/broadcasting, the network stops broadcasting (in relation to the mobile device) and performs a two-point call (phase 1017). The network can make a call, for example, with a message CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT which assigns a mobile station to a specific channel for point-to-point call. The cessation of the broadcasting network means that it prohibits a mobile device to continue to accept the service broadcasting during the implementation of point-to-point call; in particular, for this network can specify a flag BCMCS_INFO_INCL equal to "0" in the message CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT. However, other mobile devices continue to accept the service broadcasting. If at the stage 1016 it turns out that the combination of call/broadcasting valid, the procedure 1000 starts 1022, described below.

On stage, 1022, to make settings for delivery shared broadcast and point-to-point call, the network determines whether to continue broadcasting using the same delivery mechanism or need to broadcast using a different configuration for simultaneous participation in point-to-point call. Changes in the delivery mechanism or configuration may provide for changes in the frequency, speed of data transmission, Walsh code, format multiplexing, frame size, type of encoding and/or other signal characteristics. You may encounter various situations, for example when the frequency is used to deliver broadcast content, does not allow for adding a point-to-point call. For example, the base station can allocate a certain number of calls at each frequency in the purposes of load balancing and therefore may not be able to assign a point-to-point call at the frequency corresponding to the high power consumption.

After phase 1022 network provides for the appointment of a channel for two-point of call on the stages of 1024 or 1024. At the stage of 1024 is assigned to a channel on the same frequency as that for this broadcast content, while at the stage 1026, you assign the channel to another frequency for point-to-point call, and mobile device receives orders to start receiving broadcast content on another frequency. As a more concrete example, stage 1024 may provide MessageID BCMCS_INFO_INCL with a value of "1" (as the broadcasting continues) and MessageID USE_SAME_BCMCS_IND with a value of "1" (because it uses the same configuration broadcasting). Similarly, on the stage 1026 can be used MessageID BCMCS_INFO_INCL with a value of "1" (as the broadcasting continues) and MessageID USE_SAME_BCMCS_IND with a value of "0" (because it uses a different configuration broadcasting). At the stage 1026 can also be used codes messages NUM_BCMCS_SESSION and NUM_FBSCH to identify the specifics of the new configuration of channels.

Unlike the previous two situations (1014, 1016) at the stage 1008 is a transition to the stage 1010, if the mobile station has not indicated the relative priorities for point-to-point call and broadcasting. In this case, the network sends a message to the CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT on stage 1010, trial assigning mobile device channel to make point-to-point call. The purpose of the channel is a trial, because if the mobile station is not chose between calling and broadcasting, the network could not determine whether or not this channel will be needed, as discussed below. At the stage 1012 network accepts the selection of priority mobile station, which was sent to the stage 923 (Fig.9).

Then, based on the expressed at the stage 1012 mobile device priority, the network calls, broadcasting or both operations (phase 1013). Specifically, the network has one of the following: (1) releases the channel that you assigned in step 1010, if your mobile device has chosen broadcasting and network resources can not handle the challenge/broadcasting, (2) terminate the call, if your mobile device has chosen point-to-point call and network resources cannot support the challenge/broadcasting, or (3) provides point-to-point call and broadcasting, if network conditions allow.
