The subject matter disclosed herein relates to adaptive quality of service for communication devices within wireless communication systems.
A wireless communication device, such as a mobile station, may be capable of receiving, for example, a wireless signal from one or more base stations and / or transmitting a wireless signal to one or more base stations. .. The mobile station may operate as part of a cellular communication system, for example, it may be able to exchange wireless signals with a base station when involved in a telephone call.
If the mobile station is not actively involved in the call, the mobile station may be in an idle slotted state to retain battery power. While idle, the mobile station may be able to monitor the paging channel by periodically turning on its receiver to determine if the mobile station has paging. A page message sent by a base station can indicate that the mobile station has an incoming call or message to that mobile station. If the page message indicates an incoming call, the mobile station may establish active communication with the base station, which remains active while the mobile station is involved in the call. Can be possible.
As mentioned above, if the mobile station is not actively involved in the call, the mobile station may be idle to retain battery power. In general, the battery life of a mobile station can be determined, at least in part, by how long the receiver and transmitter circuits of the mobile station are on. The longer the mobile station actively monitors the system, the shorter the battery life. Conversely, the longer the mobile station's receiver and transmitter circuits are off, the longer the battery life. If the mobile station receiver is turned on less frequently and / or for a shorter period of time while in the idle slot state, battery life can be extended accordingly. However, such extension of battery life is related to call performance and may adversely affect quality of service (QoS).
Mobile stations are generally manufactured and supplied to consumers with a set of preselected parameters related to call performance and QoS. Mobile station manufacturers and / or cellular network providers may, for example, attempt to create a set of preselected parameters that can provide a favorable balance between call performance and battery life. However, there is a wide range of operating environments in which mobile stations can operate. Moreover, the operating environment of any given mobile station may not remain constant as conditions change over time. In addition, individual consumers may have widely different usage patterns from person to person, and further, consumer usage patterns may change over time, for example.
In one aspect, one or more wireless signals can be received by the wireless communication device, and one or more attributes of the operating environment of the wireless communication device are at least partially based on the wireless signal. It is possible to be asked. It is also possible to adjust the quality of service parameters of one or more wireless communication devices in response to the determination of one or more attributes of the operating environment, at least in part. In another aspect, the quality of service parameter may be at least partially related to one or more of the high frequency call operating mode, the dual subscription operating mode, or the emergency alert operating mode. Of course, these are only examples of specific embodiments, and the subject matter claimed is not limited in this regard.

As described above, to give just one example, wireless communication devices such as mobile stations are manufactured and supplied to consumers with preselected parameters related to call performance and quality of service (QoS). It is possible to be done. Mobile station manufacturers and / or cellular network providers may preselect parameters, for example, in efforts to provide a favorable balance between call performance and battery life. However, as also mentioned above, there is a wide range of operating environments in which wireless communication devices such as mobile stations can operate, including consumer preferences and usage patterns, and a wide range of wireless communication device users, and It can be difficult to provide a set of QoS parameters that provide the desired balance between call performance and battery life over a wide range of user-independent operating conditions. Further, as mentioned above, the operating environment of any given wireless communication device may not remain constant at any given time or over time. Also, as also mentioned above, the usage patterns of individual consumers may vary widely from person to person, and their respective usage patterns may also change over time.
In one aspect, in order to alleviate at least some of the above difficulties, the wireless communication device may be able to observe, for example, operating conditions, including user preferences, and in light of the observed operating conditions, call performance It may be possible to adjust one or more parameters related to the operation of the wireless communication device in order to better balance the battery life and provide a more favorable quality of service (QoS). In one aspect, the wireless communication device may be able to receive one or more wireless signals, and one or more attributes of the operating environment of the wireless communication device may be the one or more wireless signals received. It can be determined on the basis of at least partly. It is also possible to adjust one or more QoS parameters of the wireless communication device in response to at least a partial response to the determination of one or more attributes of the operating environment. In another aspect, the one or more QoS parameters may be at least partially related to, for example, one or more of the high frequency call operation mode, the dual subscription operation mode, or the emergency alert operation mode. .. Such exemplary operating modes and various related exemplary QoS parameter adjustments are more fully described below in relation to the particular embodiment.
As mentioned above, wireless communication devices such as mobile stations may have default or preselected parameters that may not be advantageous to all users under all conditions. The various examples described herein make use of what is sometimes referred to as adaptive QoS, and whether the wireless communication device adjusts QoS parameters at least in part depending on the observed operating environment. Can be recognized. As used herein, the term "quality of service" (QoS) may refer to one or more performance attributes of a wireless communication device that may be perceived by the user operating the wireless communication device. Such performance attributes can include, but are not limited to, for example, the rate at which a call is successfully completed, the perceived time required to connect the phone, and battery life. Also as used herein, the term "QoS parameter" refers to any operating parameter that can be tuned within a wireless communication device that can affect the QoS of the wireless communication device. In addition to the QoS aspects described above, the claimed QoS parameters may include, for example, parameters related to data latency and / or data throughput. Such data latency and / or data throughput parameters may be negotiated between entities in the network in some implementations, for example between mobile stations and base stations and / or access points. However, the scope of claims is not limited in these respects.
The adaptive QoS process comprises determining the operating environment of the wireless communication device and adjusting one or more QoS parameters based on the determined operating environment at least in part, as described above. Can be done. As used herein, the term "operating environment" may refer to conditions related to wireless signal transmission and / or reception that a wireless communication device may experience. The operating environment is, for example, the amount of wireless signal received by the wireless communication device over a given period of time, the type of wireless signal received, the perceived strength of each received signal, and the wireless transmitting the received signal. Amount of transmitters, identification information of any observed wireless communication network provider, any observed cellular communication network protocol type, number of received voice calls over a given time period, wireless communication over a given time period It may be explained by one or more attributes such as the number of voice calls initiated by the device, the frequency and / or degree of change in location of wireless communication devices such as mobile stations. Of course, these are only examples of attributes that can explain the operating environment, and the scope of claims is not limited in this regard.
In one aspect, adaptive QoS processes may seek to balance seemingly contradictory goals of improved call performance and increased latency to improve battery life. For example, in the case of a wireless communication device that operates as part of a code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless communication network to increase latency, eg, a CDMA2000 communication network, the wireless communication device checks for paging signals. It should be started in the shortest possible time and as infrequently as possible. However, to improve call performance, increase the amount of time the receiver circuit in the wireless communication device is enabled to check the paging signal, and / or the wireless communication device checks the paging signal. It may be advantageous to increase the frequency with which the receiver circuitry is enabled. Of course, the amount of time the wireless communication device enables the receiver circuit and the frequency with which the wireless communication device enables the receiver circuit are only examples of parameters that can be adjusted to make changes to the quality of service of the wireless communication device. The scope of claims is not limited in this regard.
In another example, there may be any of a wide range of parameters that can be analyzed and / or adjusted in an effort to improve QoS at least partially depending on the operating environment observed by the wireless communication device. The adaptive QoS process described herein can be thought of as having a multidimensional parameter space that can be adjusted in any dimension depending on the observed operating environment of the wireless communication device. In one aspect, the operating environment may include one or more user preferences. As just one example, a particular user may not be interested in battery life, but may want better call performance instead, and call performance is just one example needed to connect a call. It can be provided with a reduction in the amount of time that is said to be. In another example, improved call performance may include reducing the chances of a call being cut off prematurely. Of course, these are only exemplary aspects of improving call performance, and the scope of the claims is not limited in this regard.
As mentioned above, the operating environment of the wireless communication device may include one or more user preferences. User preferences can be taken into account in determining whether adjustments should be made to any QoS parameter. In one aspect, the user may enter one or more preferences through a user interface provided on the wireless communication device. For example, the user may be able to make selections through menus provided, for example, as part of a graphical user interface with a touch screen or other display and input device. Of course, these are just examples of how users can provide input to adaptive QoS processes for wireless communication devices, and the claims are not limited in this regard.

Also in this example, mobile station 224 represents a single-mode device capable of supporting communication with a cellular network 234. Again, the cellular network is just one example of a wireless communication network in which a mobile station can use it to establish communication.
The example in FIG. 2 illustrates two mobile stations, but in practice different mobile station types exhibiting a wide variety of functions and / or usage patterns communicate with different possible network types. Can be used for. Therefore, as mentioned above, it may be advantageous to adapt the QoS parameters according to the operating environment characteristics observed by the mobile station in order to provide consumers with an improved experience in interacting with such mobile stations. ..
In one aspect, the transmitter type may be defined according to signal frequency or band class. In another aspect, the type of transmitter may be defined according to the network provider or carrier. Of course, these are just examples of how transmitter types can be defined, and the claims are not limited in these respects. The transmitter 210 of this example, illustrated in FIG. 2, may include any of a wide range of transmitter types as opposed to a similarly wide range of network types. As mentioned earlier, various exemplary network types that may be utilized in connection with the exemplary embodiments described herein are described below.
FIG. 3 is an exemplary process flow chart for adaptive QoS for wireless communication devices. As mentioned earlier, one exemplary wireless communication device comprises a mobile station, but the claims are not limited in this regard. At block 310, the wireless communication device may receive one or more wireless signals at block 310. In one aspect, a wireless communication device may obtain measurements from a received wireless signal or otherwise receive a wireless signal in order to observe an operating state related to the operating environment of the wireless communication device. Information can be collected from. The operating environment of the wireless communication device may further include the operating characteristics of the battery of the wireless communication device, such as the amount of charge left in the battery. At block 320, one or more attributes of the operating environment of the wireless communication device may be determined based at least in part on the information collected from the received wireless signal. At block 330, a decision may be made as to whether one or more QoS parameters should be adjusted. The decision as to whether one or more QoS parameters should be adjusted may be at least partially based on the attributes obtained from the wireless signal in block 320. If adjustments to one or more QoS parameters are indicated in block 330, the one or more QoS parameters may be adjusted at least in part based on the determination of the operating environment attributes described in block 320. If no such adjustment is instructed at block 330, the process of this example returns to block 310, where from a previously received wireless signal and / or from an additional wireless signal received at the wireless communication device. , Further information may be collected. As mentioned above, the QoS parameter adjustment may also take into account any preference specified by the user. However, the subject to be patented The scope of is not limited in this regard. Claimed subject matter examples may include all, less than, or more than blocks 310-340. Also, the order of blocks 310-340 is merely an exemplary order, and the scope of the claims is not limited in this regard.
FIG. 4 is a schematic block diagram of an exemplary process for determining service quality parameters to be adjusted. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the QoS parameter adjustment decision can take into account a wide range of types of information 405 from any of the wide range sources. For example, a call manager 410, which may include a software agent running on a processor in a mobile station, for example, sends / receives a short message service (SMS) message, eg, how often a call is made and / or received. Information such as frequency made, count and / or frequency of emergency calls, recent roaming systems observed, etc. may be tracked. Of course, this list is only an exemplary list of information that can be tracked, and the claims are not limited in this regard. Similarly, radio resource 420, which may include, for example, at least in part, a mobile station radio frequency receiver and transmitter, may be able to track recent and / or current wireless channel conditions. Radio resource 420 can also track recently observed and active sectors, visible roaming sectors, time spent out of service, quick paging channels and / or observed paging channels, and access probe attributes. obtain. Of course, these are just examples of the information that can be tracked by the radio resource 420, and the claims are not limited in this regard.
In another embodiment and as described above, user preference can be taken into account in adjusting the QoS parameters, as illustrated by the user preference box 430. As shown earlier, some users may be willing to trade off battery performance to improve call performance. For example, it can be more important for some users to have as few missed calls as possible, no matter how much they can affect battery life. Further, as indicated by the carrier preference box 440, the wireless network provider may be able to indicate preferences in the setting of QoS parameters in mobile stations involved in the provider's network. In addition, information may be provided by the sensor 450 to determine QoS parameter adjustment. Some exemplary sensors that can be implemented within a mobile station may include accelerometers, gyroscopes, altimeters, barometric pressure sensors, and the like. Such a sensor can track the heading, velocity, altitude, orientation, etc. of a mobile station over a period of time and can also be used to determine the location of the mobile station. In another example, the mobile station may be equipped with a battery sensor to detect the amount of charge remaining in the battery. In this example, the information 405 may include information related to the amount of charge remaining in the battery. Of course, these are only exemplary types of information that can be provided by exemplary sensors and sensors located within the mobile station, and the claims are not limited in these respects. Also, in another aspect, other techniques for determining the location of a mobile station may utilize information from satellite positioning system (SPS) signals and / or cellular network signals, again claiming. The scope of the subject matter to be covered is not limited in these respects.
In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the information 405 provided by the various sources 410-450 may be provided to a QoS parameter determination unit 460, which unit is, for example, a software agent executed by a processor in the mobile station. Can be implemented as. Of course, other exemplary embodiments may utilize hardware circuitry in the unit 460. Yet another example may use a combination of hardware and software. The QoS parameter determination unit 460 of this example may be able to receive information 405 and determine which one or more QoS parameters should be adjusted to provide a favorable QoS according to the observed operating environment. Can be done. The QoS determination unit 460 may also be able to determine which one or more QoS parameters should be adjusted based at least in part on user and / or carrier preferences. The QoS parameter determination unit 460 is not limited to any particular technique in analyzing the information 405 and determining the QoS parameters to be adjusted. Adjustment of one or more determined QoS parameters is represented by box 470 in FIG.
As mentioned above, adaptive QoS techniques are used in some exemplary operating modes, including, but not limited to, "high frequency call" operating modes, "emergency alert" operating modes, and "double subscription" operating modes. You can find the utility. In one aspect, adaptive QoS techniques can be applied to one or more of the exemplary operating modes.
In one aspect, the "frequent call" mode of operation may be characterized, at least in part, by the amount of time the wireless communication device spends while engaging in active calls over a specified time period. In another aspect, a threshold time amount may be specified and a high frequency call mode may be pointed out if the threshold time amount is exceeded over a specified time period. The high frequency call operation mode is wireless, characterized in that the duration between the end of one call and the start of another call below a specified threshold occurs continuously or frequently. It can also be described as the operating mode of the communication device. When the wireless communication device is operating in the high frequency call operation mode, the power consumption of the wireless communication device may be centered on active calls. In such situations, it may be preferable for the user of the wireless communication device to increase power consumption for a relatively short period of time between calls in order to enable improved call performance. For example, call performance can be achieved by increasing the frequency with which the mobile station enables the receiver circuit to check for incoming calls over the paging signal, and / or the receiver can receive the paging signal. It can be improved by increasing the amount of time enabled so that it is. In one aspect, as used herein, the term "enable" as relating to the receiver circuit is to "turn on" the receiver circuit and / or to apply power to the receiver circuit. Can point to. In another aspect, "enable" the receiver circuit may comprise applying a clock signal to the receiver circuit and / or increasing the frequency with which the clock signal is applied to the receiver circuit. However, these are merely examples of enabling the receiver circuit of a wireless communication device, and the scope of claims is not limited in this regard. In another aspect, changes in frequency and the amount of time consumed by enabling the receiver when the mobile station is idle will determine whether a high frequency call operating mode is detected. It can be done dynamically depending on the crab. For example, if the wireless communication device is not in high frequency call operating mode, the frequency with which the receiver circuit is enabled and the amount of time the receiver is enabled are the defaults intended to balance battery life and call performance. It can return to the value.
Parameters other than the frequency and amount of time the receiver is enabled while idle can be adjusted in response to detection of the high frequency call operating mode. For example, a deeper search for a pilot signal may be performed in response to detection of a high frequency call mode. A deeper search may, in at least in some embodiments, be allocated to reacquire the system after sleep, or may include increasing the time to reacquire, coherent and / or non-coherent of the CDMA signal. It may further include increasing the coherent integral length. In another aspect, the slot operation mode may be terminated in the case of a CDMA2000 cellular communication system to allow for a higher likelihood of acquiring a paging signal. As a result of operation in non-slot mode, wireless communication devices may come to continuously monitor the system. In another example, the transmitter power of the wireless communication device may be increased to increase the likelihood that the access probe signal will be received and recognized by one or more base stations. In yet another example, the wireless communication device activates additional demodulation enhancement techniques such as receive diversity or interference elimination during acquisition, sync, idle, and access states. May be good. Receive diversity can improve network performance and / or user experience, for example in 1x and EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized). However, receive diversity is, for example, multiple receive chains (receive). Chains) are used and therefore may tend to consume more power than cases without receive diversity. These additional demodulation enhancement techniques may be nominally off due to trade-offs with other QoS metrics. Of course, these are only some exemplary actions and / or adjustments that can be made in response to a wireless communication device entering a high frequency call mode of operation, and the claims are the specifics of these. It is not limited to a typical example.
As already mentioned, one type of sensor that can be employed in one exemplary embodiment of a mobile station is a battery sensor for indicating the amount of charge remaining in the battery. In one aspect, if the battery sensor indicates that the remaining charge is below the specified threshold, one or more QoS parameters may be adjusted to reduce power consumption. For example, multiple active receive chains draw more power than a single receive chain, so disabling receive diversity can reduce power consumption. For this example, receive diversity may be disabled to reduce power consumption if the battery sensor indicates that the remaining charge in the battery has dropped below the specified threshold. In this way, the available talk time can be increased. In one exemplary embodiment, the threshold for remaining charge may be specified to be 50%, but the claims are not limited in this regard, other embodiments are other. Threshold levels may be used. Moreover, received diversity is merely an example of QoS-related functions and / or parameters that can be adjusted in response to information provided by the battery sensor, and the claims are not limited in this regard.
FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a process for adjusting one or more QoS parameters in response to at least a partial response to the detection of a mobile station's high frequency call operating mode. At block 510, one or more attributes of the mobile station's operating environment may be determined based at least in part on the one or more wireless signals received by the mobile station. Block 520 indicates that a determination can be made as to whether a high frequency call operating mode has been detected, at least in part, based on one or more required attributes of the operating environment. One or more QoS parameters related to the high frequency call operation mode may be adjusted in response to at least a partial response to the determination of the high frequency call operation mode. Such adjustments may include, for example, increasing the duration of the mobile station enabling the receiver circuit while idle. Of course, as mentioned above, any of a wide range of other adjustments, depending on the subject matter claimed, is possible.
In a further aspect, any or all of the QoS parameter adjustments described above in connection with the high frequency call operation mode can be extended to the "emergency alert" operation mode. In situations where an emergency call should be made, such as the "911" situation, the wireless communication device will give the user "911" or any other emergency call telephone number that can be programmed into the wireless communication device. If it detects that you have dialed, call performance may take precedence over battery life and power consumption concerns. Therefore, in such situations, it may make sense to employ some or all of the above adjustments to help ensure that emergency calls are delivered in a timely and reliable manner. Such coordination may be adopted as well in reverse-911 situations where emergency services attempt to quickly reach an individual or area of an individual in an emergency. In such situations, in one or more embodiments, the wireless communication device may recognize the incoming call as a reverse-911 call and may employ at least some of the above adjustments. ..
FIG. 6 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a process for adjusting one or more QoS parameters in response to at least a partial response to the detection of an emergency alert operating mode of a mobile station. At block 610, one or more attributes of the mobile station's operating environment may be determined based at least in part on the one or more wireless signals received by the mobile station. Block 620 indicates that a determination can be made as to whether an emergency alert operation mode has been detected based at least in part on one or more of the required attributes of the operating environment. Such attributes may include the called telephone number corresponding to the emergency response provider, to name a few. One or more QoS parameters related to the emergency alert operation mode may be adjusted in response to at least a partial response to the determination of the emergency alert operation mode. Such adjustments are, for example, one or more enhanced demodulation techniques to help ensure successful transmission power and / or call completion for telephone calls to emergency response providers. May include activation. Of course, as mentioned above, any of a wide range of other adjustments, depending on the subject matter claimed, is possible. In addition, such adjustments may be made at the expense of battery life to help ensure successful completion of the emergency alert call in such situations.
Similarly, the user may be able to specify a preference for one or more telephone numbers stored in the memory of the wireless communication device. When calling to and / or calling from a preferred number by the wireless communication device, the wireless communication device sets one or more QoS parameters to enhance the call performance for the call that calls the preferred number. Can be adjusted. In one aspect, the user may be able to express his or her preferences by providing input to the wireless communication device using a user interface. In the case of a cellular phone, the input can be made by a user interacting with the keypad or touch screen, to name just a few examples.
As mentioned above, one possible mode of operation in which adaptive QoS can be advantageously utilized in wireless communication devices such as mobile stations is the "double subscription" mode of operation. "Double subscription" mode refers to a situation in which a wireless communication device, such as a mobile station, is associated with more than one telephone number, provider, and / or communication protocol. For example, one mobile station may be used by two subscribers with two respective telephone numbers. In another aspect, the examples presented herein refer to a "double subscription" mode of operation, but the claims are not limited to the two subscriptions, numbers, providers, and / or protocols. Rather, the examples provided herein are limited to two subscriptions, numbers, providers, and / or protocols for clarity of explanation. The claims-based embodiment may include two subscriptions, less than two subscriptions, or more than two subscriptions.
In one example of dual subscription operating mode, the mobile device can be associated with two phone numbers. These numbers may be associated with each of the two users or may be utilized by a single user. In this example, two phone numbers can be serviced by a common cellular communication provider. However, in another example, the two numbers may be serviced by different providers using similar communication protocols. In a further example, the two numbers may be associated with different communication protocols. For example, one number may be associated with a cellular network based on a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) protocol such as CDMA2000, and the other number may be Global System for Mobile (GSM®: Global System for Mobile). It may be associated with a cellular network based on a time division multiple access (TDMA) protocol such as the Communications) protocol. However, these are merely exemplary communication protocols that may be utilized in connection with any of the embodiments described herein, and the claims are not limited in this regard. Other exemplary communication protocols are described below.
FIG. 7 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a process for adjusting one or more QoS parameters in response to detection of a mobile station's dual subscription mode of operation, at least in part. At block 710, one or more attributes of the mobile station's operating environment may be determined based at least in part on the one or more wireless signals received by the mobile station. Block 720 indicates that a determination can be made as to whether or not a double join operation mode has been detected based at least in part on one or more of the required attributes of the operating environment. In another example, such attributes can be further determined by observing the configuration information stored in the mobile station. One or more QoS parameters related to the double join operation mode may be adjusted in response to at least a partial response to the determination of the double join operation mode. Such adjustments are, for example, radio frequency (RF) resource arbitration in favor of one of the subscribers determined to be operating in high frequency call operating mode. scheme) can include biasing the scheme. Of course, any of a wide range of other adjustments may be made, as described above and as further described below, according to the subject matter claimed.
For mobile devices operating in dual subscription mode, it may be advantageous to implement any or all of the adaptive QoS techniques described above. However, due to the two subscriptions, many of the functions of the mobile station are shared between the two subscriptions. For example, a mobile station may include a single set of radio frequency (RF) resources, such as a single receiver circuit and a single transmitter circuit. To share RF resources, mobile stations may be able to arbitrate between the two subscriptions to manage the use of RF resources. As a further example, for example, if both subscriptions are associated with a CDMA2000 cellular network provider, each of those subscriptions may be assigned its own slot in the CDMA2000 paging signal protocol. When the mobile station is idle, the mobile station may be periodically evoked to check the paging signal for both subscriptions or enable the receiver circuit. The subscription may be able to make a request to the arbitrator unit in the mobile station to utilize the RF resource. In an exemplary embodiment, the arbitrator unit may include a software agent running on a processor within the mobile unit, but the claims are not limited in this regard. In another aspect, the arbitrator unit may be implemented in hardware or a combination of hardware and software.
In one exemplary embodiment with a mobile station, the arbitrate unit may be able to grant access to the RF resource such that each subscription has an equal chance of gaining access to the RF resource. However, in one aspect, if the mobile station detects that one of the subscribers is operating in the high frequency call mode as described above, the arbitrator unit operates the arbitrate process in the high frequency call mode. It can be biased in favor of joining. This is an example shown in FIG.
FIG. 8 is a schematic block diagram showing an exemplary arbitrate process for an exemplary dual-join operation mode for a mobile station such as mobile station 150. For the exemplary arbitration process shown in FIG. 8, it is assumed that each subscription is associated with the same communication network provider. However, as mentioned above, the scope of claims is not limited to subscriptions from the same provider. In the example of FIG. 8, various "page" and "sleep" time periods are illustrated. The "page" period represents the time period during which the mobile station enables its receiver and listens for a page signal indicating an incoming call. The "sleep" period represents a period of time during which the mobile station has not enabled its receiver. Of course, these are very general descriptions of the actions that can occur during the "page" and "sleep" periods shown, and the claims are not limited in this regard. Also, the description of FIG. 8 is intended to merely indicate one possible general sequence of arbitrate events for an example, not to indicate an exact timing relationship.
FIG. 8 shows exemplary arbitrate events for subscription 801 and subscription 802. Although subscriptions 801 and 802, shown in FIG. 8, represent software agents running on a processor in a mobile station, the claims are not limited to software and / or firmware embodiments. The subscription 801 delivers to the arbitrate agent a reserve signal 811 indicating to the RF resource arbitrate agent 803 that the subscription 801 intends to request the use of the RF resource at time t1. The reserve signal 811 also indicates to the RF resource arbitrate agent 803 that the subscription 801 currently has a priority value of P2. In this example, subscription 801 can be considered a primary subscription and subscription 802 can be considered a secondary subscription in this example. At the start of this example, join 801 has a priority value of P2 and join 802 has a priority value of P3. In this example, P1> P2> P3. If there is an arbitrate conflict between the two subscriptions, the higher priority subscription may be granted access to the RF resource.
At the end of the first "sleep" period of join 802, join 802 issues request 812 to take control of the RF resource. The request indicates that subscription 802 has a current priority value for P3 and a duration that would have expired before time t1. The authorization signal 814 is delivered from the RF resource arbitrate unit 803 to the subscription 802, which gains control of the RF resource. Join 802 checks the paging signal during the "page" period following permission 814. Following the page period, the subscription 802 issues a reserve signal 816, thereby indicating that the subscription 802 has the transferred control of the RF resource and issues another request with a priority value of P3 at time t2. Indicates that you intend to do so.
In response, at least in part, to the end of the first "sleep" period of subscription 801 the subscription 801 issues a request signal 813 having a priority value of P2, which is the current priority value of the subscription 801. The subscription 802 has the priority of P3 and has previously issued a reserve signal 816 indicating the time t2, and the reserve signal 811 of the subscription 801 indicates the priority of P2 and the time t1. The time period starting at t1, labeled with duration 1, may compete with the time period starting at time t2, labeled with duration 2. Therefore, a decision is made by the RF Resource Arbitrate Agent 803 according to the respective current priority values of the subscription. In this decision, the RF resource arbitrate agent 803 issues an authorization signal 814 to the join 801 and the join 801 takes control of the RF resource at time t1 and paging during the subsequent "page" period during duration 1. Perform signal function.
During duration 1, the join 802 issues a request signal 818 while the join 801 has control of the RF resource, resulting in a rejection signal 820 from the arbitrate agent 803. As mentioned above, the RF resource arbitrate agent 803 is aware of the conflict between the reserve signal 811 and the reserve signal 816, which results in a conflict between duration 1 and duration 2. The decision was made based on the priority value and RF resources were granted for subscription 801 instead of subscription 802.
In response to the reception of the rejection signal 820, at least in part, the subscription 802 may issue a reserve signal 822 for time t3. In this example, the subscription 802 temporarily receives the priority value of P1 as a result of the subscription 801 receiving the authorization signal 814, at least in part. This can ensure that if join 801 continues to request control of the RF resource, join 802 will not continue to be locked out of the RF resource. Further, the subscription 801 issues a reserve signal 815 with respect to the time t4, which has a priority value of P2. Upon receiving the reserve signal 822 from the subscription 802 and the reserve signal 815 from the subscription 801 the RF resource arbitrate agent 803 may compete between the duration 3 starting at time t3 and the duration 4 starting at time t4. Recognize that there is sex. The join 802 at this point in this example has a higher priority value than the join 801 and the RF resource arbitrate agent 803 issues an authorization signal 826 to the join 802 in response to at least a partial response to the reception of the request signal 824. To do. The subscription 802 controls the RF resource, and as a result of the request signal 816 from the subscription 801 the arbitrate agent 803 issues a rejection signal 817 to the subscription 801. In response, at least in part, to the reception of the rejection signal 817, the subscription 801 issues a reserve signal 818 for the time period starting at time t5. Join 801 continues to hold the priority value of P2, and join 802 returns to the priority value of P3 in response, at least in part, to receiving the temporary priority level of P1 for request 824.
The example of FIG. 8, which illustrates the arbitrate bias in favor of join 801 is just one example of adaptive QoS in dual join operation mode. Of course, a wide variety of arbitrate schemes may be implemented according to the subject matter claimed, and the scope of the subject matter claimed is not limited to any particular arbitrate scheme. For example, in some embodiments, the arbitrate scheme may attempt to be fair to both subscriptions. Also, in some embodiments, the bias in the arbitration scheme between two or more subscriptions may vary from subscription to context. In another aspect, if the arbitrate scheme is biased in favor of the first enrollment, the arbitrate will expire, as in the situation described above in connection with the example of FIG. It can later be biased in favor of a second subscription. In addition, as the bias changes from the first subscription to the second subscription, it may be hoped that the second subscription will monitor the system following the page period of the first subscription. Alternatively, in another example, assuming that the audio page may have been lost when the second subscription collided with the page duration of the first subscription, the change in arbitrate bias would be network / base. This can happen when the station is expected to resend the audio page to the second subscription. Of course, these are just further examples of the aspects of the priority scheme, and the claims are not limited in these respects.
In another example, the user may specify one preference out of double subscriptions. In response, at least in part, to receiving input from users exhibiting such a preference, the wireless communication device arbitrates against double subscription in order to bias the arbitration scheme in favor of the preferred subscription. The method can be adjusted. This represents another example of adaptive QoS for dual subscription operating modes of wireless communication devices.
In a further aspect, the wireless communication device may receive a signal from one or more base stations indicating that one of the two subscriptions is or may be receiving a call. In such cases, one or more QoS parameters may be adjusted to enhance the call performance of the subscription. Similarly, if the mobile station receives information from one or more base stations that the other subscriber can immediately receive the call, the one or more QoS parameters will determine the call performance of the other subscriber. Can be adjusted to enhance. In this way, the mobile station may attempt to determine which subscriber is trying to receive the call and may adjust one or more QoS parameters accordingly.
In a further aspect, the wireless communication device may utilize two telephone numbers or subscriptions. For example, one telephone number or subscription may be used for CDMA2000 1x communication and the other telephone number or subscription may be used for EV-DO communication. In one aspect, 1x and EV-DO communications may share a single receive chain within the receiver of the wireless communication device. This is sometimes referred to as "hybrid" mode. In one example, monitoring and demodulation of emergency alert communications may not be assigned the highest priority. In one aspect, the priority of the emergency alert communication may be increased, at least in part, in response to the detection of the emergency alert operation mode.
In a further aspect, 1x and EV-DO communications may utilize separate receive chains. This is sometimes referred to as "simultaneous" mode. In an exemplary embodiment, 1x communication may be assigned a lower performing chain than that used for EV-DO communication. Insufficient coverage areas, for example, may degrade 1x communication performance, resulting in poor performance in monitoring and demodulation of emergency alert communications.
In one aspect, an algorithm for selecting between hybrid mode and simultaneous mode for 1x and EV-DO communication may be utilized. In one example, the decision whether to use hybrid mode or simultaneous mode can be at least partially based on the received power of the 1x communication signal. In another aspect, the algorithm can be threshold-based and more aggressive from simultaneous mode to hybrid mode in response to a decrease in the received power of the 1x communication signal as a result of the increased threshold. Will switch to. In one aspect, the threshold may increase in response to the detection of an emergency alert communication operating mode to improve 1x communication performance.
In the above example, various modes of operation may be detected and various quality of service parameters may be adjusted in response to the detection of the mode of operation, at least in part. An exemplary operating mode as described above may include a high frequency call operating mode, a dual subscription operating mode, and / or an emergency alert operating mode. The determination of the operating mode may, in one aspect, be based at least in part on one or more attributes of the operating environment of the mobile station. In one aspect, the mode of operation can be detected independently. However, in another aspect, two or more modes of operation may be detected at the same time. The priority scheme allows, in one example, a quality of service parameter adjustment for one detected mode to have a higher priority than a service quality parameter adjustment for one or more other detected operating modes. obtain. In addition, as mentioned above, the quality of service parameters can be adjusted according to one or more detected modes of operation, and in another aspect the identification of the mobile station as well as by one or more detected modes of operation. Can be adjusted according to the intended use. That is, a particular mobile station application may benefit from quality of service parameter adjustments that may differ from those for different applications. Thus, the priority scheme for adjusting quality of service parameters may be at least partially based on one or more detected modes of operation and at least partially based on one or more uses. However, these are only examples of the quality of service parameter priority method, and the scope of claims is not limited in these respects.
FIG. 9 is a block diagram of an example of a wireless communication device 900 that may be adapted to perform any of the exemplary techniques described herein in connection with FIGS. 1-8. The radio transmitter / receiver 970 may modulate the RF carrier signal with baseband information such as voice or data into the RF carrier and demodulate the modulated RF carrier to obtain such baseband information. Can be adapted. Antenna 972 may be adapted to transmit the modulated RF carrier over the wireless communication link and receive the modulated RF carrier over the wireless communication link.
The baseband processor 960 may be adapted to provide the baseband information from the central processing unit (CPU) 920 to the transmitter / receiver 970 for transmission over a wireless communication link. Here, the CPU 920 may be able to obtain such baseband information from the input device in the user interface 910. The baseband processor 960 may also be adapted to provide the baseband information from the transmitter / receiver 970 to the CPU 920 for transmission through an output device within the user interface 910.
The user interface 910 may include a plurality of devices for inputting or outputting user information such as voice or data. Such devices may include keyboards, display screens, microphones, and speakers, as non-limiting examples.
The transmitter / receiver 970 may be able to provide the demodulated information to the correlator 940. The correlator 940 may be adapted to derive a pilot-related correlation function from the information related to the pilot signal provided by the transmitter / receiver 970. This information can be used by the wireless communication device 900 to acquire wireless communication services. The channel decoder 950 may be adapted to decode the channel symbol received from the baseband processor 960 into the underlying source bits.
