`[Abstract]
`
`[Abstract]
`The present invention relates to a reverse link packet transmission method and apparatus
`for transmitting a packet transmission rate increase or decrease message to each mobile station
`using load information of a reverse link at a base station to improve data transmission efficiency
`of a reverse link in a mobile communication system.
`In connection with data transmission of a reverse link, the present invention comprises: a
`step of a base station measuring interference level of an entire traffic channel; a step of determining
`load of a reverse link by comparing the measured interference value and a threshold value; and a
`step for dedicatedly transmitting information on the increase and decrease of transmission data
`rate for each mobile station by using the load information and distance information between each
`base station and the mobile station.
`Therefore, according to the present invention, each transmission rate can be controlled for
`each mobile station by dedicatedly transmitting RAB information to each mobile station in
`consideration of the load information of the reverse information and the mobile station distance,
`and since it is possible to obtain information on increase and decrease of transmission data rate,
`which was not possible in the conventional art, through RAB, the data transmission efficiency
`(throughput) can be increased.

`<6> The present invention relates to a reverse link packet transmission method and apparatus
`for transmitting a message about an increase or a decrease in a packet transmission rate to each
`mobile station using load information of a reverse link at a base station in order to improve data
`transmission efficiency of the reverse link in a mobile communication system, and in particular, it
`relates to a reverse link packet transmission method and apparatus using forward link feedback
`information capable of controlling a transmission rate for each mobile station by measuring
`interference level of an entire traffic channel in a base station, comparing it with the threshold
`value, and using the derived value to dedicatedly transmit information on the increase and decrease
`of transmission data rate (Reverse Activity Bit, RAB) for each mobile station.

`

`<7> More specifically, the present invention uses load information of a reverse link obtained
`by measuring interference level of an entire traffic channel and comparing it with the threshold
`value at the base station, and the value derived by adding the relative offset that has decimated the
`code generated in the long code generator and the initial offset indicating the location information
`of each mobile station in a MUX unit to dedicatedly transmit information on the increase and
`decrease of transmission data rate for each mobile station, and accordingly, the mobile station that
`has received its RAB information changes the transmission data rate one step at a time according
`to the RAB command and transmits it, and informs a base station of its transmission data rate
`through an RRI (Reverse Rate Indicator).
`<8>
`In general, an HDR (High Data Rink) system, which is an IP-based system having burst
`characteristics and optimized for packet transmission that is not sensitive to delay, is a technology
`that enables high-speed data transmission of up to 2.4576 Mbps.
`<9> The HDR system is a system that is exclusively for high-speed packet transmission and
`uses the same frequency band (1.25 MHz) as that of a current IS-95 system.
`<10> The most significant feature of a forward link of an HDR system is the fact that it does not
`classify users by orthogonal codes but instead by time slots, and a single time slot is 1.67 ms.
`<11> There is almost no interference from other users as only one person occupies the channel
`at a certain moment, and since power control is not performed, the base station (Access Network,
`AN) can always transmit a signal at the maximum output. Not performing power control is to
`maximize the benefits of packet transmission, and while the IS-95 system has to guarantee the
`same data rate to all users, packet transmission does not have to. Therefore, users who receive
`strong signals can receive a service that is that much higher in data rate, and conversely, users
`receiving weak signals are compensated for unequal data by allocating more time slots instead.
`<12> However, there is also a problem in that it is difficult to provide a high-speed service to
`users who are far from the base station due to not performing power control.
`<13> In an IS-95 system, all users transmit signals at the same time, and since pilot signals are
`transmitted at the same time as well, there is a problem of interference by pilot signals and waste
`of radio power.
`<14> However, since HDR uses a burst pilot, the pilot signal is transmitted at the maximum
`output, and therefore, there are advantages in that the strength of the signal can be accurately
`measured, the error rate can be reduced, and interference caused by the pilot signal can be reduced.
`

`
`

`

`In addition, since it is a synchronous system, the pilot signal of the adjacent cell is also generated
`at the same time, thus it can be considered that interference by the pilot signal of the adjacent cell
`has been minimized.
`<15> A forward link of an HDR system can receive services from as little as 38.4 kbps to as
`much as 2.4576 Mbps, depending on the strength of the signal received by the AT (Access
`Terminal).
`<16> A reverse link of an HDR system is similar to the reverse link of the IS-95 system, and
`performance has been improved by using a user pilot signal. In addition, it uses the traditional
`power control method of IS-95 and provides services from 9.6 Kbps to 153.6 Kbps.
`<17> Fig. 1 is a conventional channel structure for transmitting increase and decrease
`information (RAB) of a transmission data rate.
`<18> As shown in the figure, a base station (not shown) estimates (measures) the load of the
`reverse link, and repeats (bit repetition) (10) information on the increase and decrease of
`transmission data rate (RAB), such as messages about whether the load is large or small, by an
`arbitrary number to improve transmission reliability, and performs Signal Point Mapping (0-> +1,
`1-> -1) to transmit to all users through a common channel called RA (Reverse Activity) channel
`of the forward link.
`<19> When the mobile terminal (Access Terminal, AT) receives a message indicating that the
`load is too high by receiving a message of the RA channel, it reduces the packet data rate of the
`reverse link in half.
`<20> However, in the case of a conventional HDR system, the base station (AN) estimates the
`load of the reverse link and transmits feedback through a common channel called the RA channel,
`and when the load is large, the reverse link packet data rate of all users is reduced by half, thereby
`reducing the data processing efficiency (throughput) of each mobile station.
`<21> In addition, when load is small, there is no message indicating that the reverse link packet
`data rate should be increased, which is inefficient.
`
`[Technical problems to be solved by the invention]
`<22> Therefore, with the object to improve the packet transmission efficiency of the reverse link
`using forward link feedback information of a mobile communication system, the present invention
`dedicatedly transmits the RAB to each mobile station using a common channel according to the
`
`Ex. 1011 - Sierra Wireless, Inc.

`

`

`location information of each mobile station derived by adding a relative offset that has decimated
`the code generated in the long code generator and an initial offset indicating the location
`information for each mobile station in a MUX unit by using the load information of the reverse
`link and distance information of the mobile station to determine the information on the increase
`and decrease of transmission data rate (RAB), and accordingly, the mobile station that has received
`its RAB information changes the transmission data rate one step at a time according to the RAB
`command and transmits it, and informs the base station of its transmission data rate through an
`RRI (Reverse Rate Indicator).
`
`[Configuration and operation of the invention]
`<23> The apparatus that notifies of the data transmission rate in the reverse link of the present
`invention is configured by comprising a reception processing unit for a base station to demodulate
`a signal received from a mobile station; an interference level estimation unit for estimating an
`interference level for a signal transmitted from the reception processing unit; a comparison unit
`for estimating the load of a reverse link by comparing an estimated value estimated by the
`interference level estimation unit and a predetermined threshold value; information on the increase
`and decrease of transmission data rate and a transmission channel determination unit for
`determining information on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate received from a
`mobile station according to the result of the comparison and for judging the location of each mobile
`station according to the RAB location in a channel slot; and a transmission processing unit for
`modulating a transmission signal containing said information on the increase and decrease of
`transmission data rate and information on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate
`output from the transmission channel determination unit to transmit it to a mobile station.
`<24> In addition, the present invention comprises a step in which a base station measures
`interference level of an entire traffic channel; a step for judging a load of a reverse link by
`comparing the measured interference value with a threshold value; and a step for dedicatedly
`transmitting information on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate for each mobile
`station by using the load information and distance information between each base station and
`mobile station.
`<25> Preferably, in the present invention, to dedicatedly transmit information on the increase
`and decrease of transmission data rate for each mobile station, RAB location is obtained in a
`

`

`

`channel slot for classifying each mobile station by adding the relative offset that has decimated the
`code generated in the long code generator and the initial offset indicating the location information
`of each mobile station in a MUX unit.
`<26> Preferably, in the present invention, information on increase and decrease of transmission
`data rate (RAB) sent by a base station to a mobile station maps RAB to 0 when the transmission
`data rate is raised compared to before, maps RAB to 1 when it is lowered, and does not transmit
`RAB when it is the same.
`<27> Other objects and characteristics of the present invention will become apparent through
`detailed description of embodiments with reference to the attached figures.
`<28> Hereinafter, a reverse link data transmission speed transmission apparatus and method
`according to the present invention will be described with reference to the attached figures.
`<29> First, the present invention is to improve the data transmission efficiency of a reverse link
`by defining a new common channel for dedicatedly notifying each mobile station of respective
`information on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate in order to improve said
`conventional problem, that is, the decrease in data transmission efficiency caused by the base
`station measuring the load of a reverse link and transmitting the common channel to the mobile
`station.
`<30> Fig. 2 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment for transmitting information on the
`increase and decrease of transmission data to each mobile station in a base station of the mobile
`communication system according to the present invention.
`<31> As illustrated in Fig. 2, the reverse link packet transmission apparatus using forward link
`feedback information in a mobile communication system of the present invention is composed of
`a reception processing unit (21) for demodulating a signal received from a mobile station (terminal)
`(30) at the base station (20), an interference level estimation (measurement) unit (22) for estimating
`an interference level for a signal delivered from the reception processing unit (21), a comparison
`unit (23) for estimating the load of a reverse link by comparing the estimated value estimated by
`the interference level estimation unit (22) with a predetermined threshold value, information on
`the increase and decrease of transmission data rate and a transmission channel determination unit
`(24) for deciding information on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate received from
`a mobile station according to the result of the comparison to determine the location of each mobile
`station according to the RAB location in a channel slot, and a transmission processing unit (25)

`

`for modulating a transmission signal containing said information on the increase and decrease of
`transmission data rate and information on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate
`output from the transmission channel determination unit to transmit it to a mobile station (30).
`<32> Fig. 3 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment for receiving information on the
`increase and decrease of transmission data from a base station in a mobile station of the mobile
`communication system according to the present invention.
`<33> Furnishes a reception processing unit (31) for converting the signal information transmitted
`from the transmission processing unit (25) of Fig. 2, a demodulation unit (32) for demodulating
`the signal that has been down-converted by the reception processing unit (31), a transmission data
`rate control unit (33) for controlling the data rate transmitted to the base station according to the
`value of information on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate carried in the signal
`demodulated by the demodulation unit (32), and a transmission processing unit (34) for adjusting
`the transmission data rate of the transmission signal and transmits it to the base station according
`to the transmission data control command delivered from the transmission data rate control
`unit (33).
`<34> Fig. 4 is a detailed block diagram of information on the increase and decrease of
`transmission data rate and transmission channel determination unit (24) in the base station of Fig. 2.
`<35> The information on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate (RAB) is
`determined using the load information of the reverse link and distance information of the mobile
`station as described in Fig. 2.
`<36> On the other hand, the RAB information derived above is transmitted to each mobile station
`through a common channel called the RA channel, and here, a method for classifying each mobile
`station is the RAB location in a channel slot.
`<37> As shown in Fig. 4, the RAB location is determined in the channel slot by adding the initial
`offset value for determining the location of each mobile station (RAB location) in the I and Q
`signals and the relative offset that has decimated the code generated in the long code generator (46)
`in a MUX unit (41, 42).
`<38> In the description above, the initial offset value is obtained during the negotiation process
`between the mobile station and the base station, and among the values input to the MUX, offset 0
`indicates the first position in the slot, and offset N-1 indicates the last position in the slot. In
`
`Ex. 1011 - Sierra Wireless, Inc.
`Sierra Wireless, Inc., et al. v. Sisvel S.P.A., IPR2021-01141
`Page 10 of 17
`
`

`

`addition, the relative offset randomizes the RAB locations allocated to each mobile station
`(terminal).
`<39> Therefore, RAB information is transmitted according to each mobile station derived from
`the MUX value, and the RAB information is repeated by the repeater (43) for a certain number of
`times to improve transmission reliability, is converted in Signal Point Mapping (44), and then
`amplified by the amplification unit (45) to be transmitted to a mobile station.
`<40> As for the information on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate (RAB) sent
`by the base station to the mobile station in the Signal Point Mapping, the RAB is mapped to 0
`when the transmission data rate is raised compared to before, the RAB is mapped to 1 when it is
`lowered, and the RAB is not transmitted when it is the same.
`<41> To further describe the details related to Fig. 4, if the RAB update rate is 800 Hz, the
`maximum number of mobile stations capable of controlling the transmission data rate is 24 (I =
`12, Q = 12) when N (number of channels) is 12, if the RAB update rate is 400 Hz, the maximum
`number of mobile stations capable of controlling the transmission data rate is 48 (I = 24, Q = 24)
`when N (number of channels) is 24, and if the RAB update rate is 200 Hz, the maximum number
`of mobile stations capable of controlling the transmission data rate is 96 (I = 48, Q = 48) when N
`(number of channels) is 48. In addition, if the number of RA channels is n, the maximum number
`of mobile stations capable of controlling gets multiplied by n again.
`<42> Fig. 5 is a flowchart of an embodiment describing an operation for transmitting information
`on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate to each mobile station in a 1XEV-DV system.
`<43> First, to provide a general description, the base station estimates the overall interference
`level and compares it with a threshold value to estimate the load of a reverse link. Using the
`estimated load information of the reverse link and distance information between the base station
`and each mobile station, it judges the information on the increase and decrease of transmission
`data rate (RAB) for each mobile station.
`<44> To describe the operation process below, the base station measures the interference level
`of the overall traffic channel (step 51).
`<45> The load of the reverse link is estimated by comparing the interference level and the
`threshold value (steps 52 and 53).
`<46> Information on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate for each mobile station
`is determined by using the load information and distance information between the base station and
`
`Ex. 1011 - Sierra Wireless, Inc.

`
`

`

`each mobile station, and as shown in Fig. 4, the initial offset value for determining the location of
`each mobile station (RAB location) in the I and Q signals and the relative offset that has decimated
`the code generated in the long code generator (46) are added in a MUX unit (41, 42) to determine
`the RAB location in a channel slot for classifying each mobile station (step 54).
`<47> The determined RAB is transmitted to each mobile station using a dedicatedly operating
`common channel (step 55).
`<48> As described above, in the present invention, the load information of the reverse link
`obtained by measuring the interference level of an entire traffic channel and comparing it with the
`threshold value at the base station, and the value derived by adding the relative offset that has
`decimated the code generated in the long code generator and the initial offset indicating the
`location information of each mobile station in a MUX unit are used to dedicatedly transmit
`information on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate for each mobile station, and
`accordingly, the mobile station that has received its RAB information changes the transmission
`data rate one step at a time according to the RAB command and transmits it, and informs the base
`station of its transmission data rate through an RRI (Reverse Rate Indicator).
`<49> Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the
`present invention may use various changes, modifications, and equivalents. It is apparent that the
`present invention may be applied equally by appropriately modifying the embodiments described
`above.
`<50> Therefore, the descriptions above do not limit the scope of the present invention defined
`by the descriptions of the scope of claims described below.
`
`[Effect of the invention]
`<51> Therefore, as described in the present invention, each transmission rate for each mobile
`station can be controlled by dedicatedly transmitting RAB information to each mobile station by
`taking into consideration the load information of the reverse information and the distance of the
`mobile station, and information on the increase and decrease of transmission data rate can be
`transmitted, which was impossible in the past, through RAB, which can improve data transmission
`efficiency (throughput).
