Embodiment Construction

[0019] As an exemplary implementation, an iBS supporting the GSM standard is described, along with the parameters and procedures necessary for it to be integrated into and work in a GSM mobile communication network. However, the present invention is not limited to supporting GSM technology, but can also support other technologies such as CDMA, iDEN and 3G / UMTS.

[0020] 1. Investigation of the radio environment

[0021] When an iBS is switched on, it investigates its radio environment, and then with the help of the iBSC and / or iSM, it defines many of the parameters necessary to integrate and work in an existing mobile communication network.

[0022] The iBS receiver is capable of receiving not only in the uplink band (its normal operating band), but also in the downlink band where the mobile station (MS) receiver normally operates.

[0023] When the iBS is switched on, it will first scan the entire downlink frequency band, just as the MS does when it is switched on. By scann...

Abstract

A radio base station in a mobile communication network collects information about the network and exchanges data with a configuration device, the Internet System Manager(iSM). The iSM automatically configures and integrates the base station into the network by defining configuration parameter settings that allow full interoperation of the base station with the network, with regards to roaming and handover in particular, without the need to add or modify parameter settings in other existing network elements. A very large number and high geographical density of such base stations is supported with full interoperation between them, allowing to overcome limitations of conventional mobile communication networks in this regard, by utilizing a certain combination of parameter settings and a new method to address the different base stations in the network.

Description

[0001] RELATED APPLICATIONS: This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 60 / 492,825, filed August 6,2003. This application is a continuation-in-part of US Nonprovisional Application Serial No. 10 / 280,733, filed October 25, 2002. technical field [0002] The present invention relates generally to wireless communications and, more particularly, to an Internet Base Station (iBS) described in US Patent Application Serial No. 10 / 280,733, entitled "Internet Base Station." Background technique [0003] Such as figure 1 As shown, a base station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) 1 provides wireless communication with a mobile station (MS) 2 in a mobile communication network. Each BTS 1 has a limited range and thus a limited coverage area, requiring many base stations with adjacent coverage areas to provide continuous service to mobile stations. The coverage area of ​​a BTS is also called a radio cell. In such a cellular network there are usually several Mob...
