Abstract

Abstract A reserved channel allocating method in a mobile radio communication system which can adaptively control the allocation of the number of reserved channels using a fuzzy logic controller in accordance with the fluctuant handoff traffic density. According to this method, the traffic density of handoff calls is identified for a period determined by a base station, and the ratio of the number of normal channels for processing initial calls and the handoff calls to the number of reserved channels for processing the handoff calls is adjusted in accordance with the traffic density of the handoff calls.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 79 words
A reserved channel allocating method in a mobile radio communication system comprising: sampling a handoff traffic density for a predetermined time interval; sampling the number of reserved channels allocated in a previous time period for the predetermined time interval; processing the sampled number of the reserved channels and the handoff traffic density by a fuzzy-logic controller; and adjusting the ratio of the number of normal channels to the number of reserved channels according to the result of the processing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 79 words
A reserved channel allocating method in a mobile radio communication system comprising: sampling a handoff traffic density for a predetermined time interval; sampling the number of reserved channels allocated in a previous time period for the predetermined time interval; processing the sampled number of the reserved channels and the handoff traffic density by a fuzzy-logic controller; and adjusting the ratio of the number of normal channels to the number of reserved channels according to the result of the processing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
The reserved channel allocating method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said ratio is adjusted by controlling the number of reserved channels.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
The reserved channel allocating method as claimed in claim 2, wherein a maximum number and/or a minimum number of the reserved channels is set according to the whole number of the traffic channels.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 37 words
The reserved channel allocating method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising repeating said sampling a handoff traffic density through adjusting the ratio steps for a next predetermined time interval using the adjusted number of reserved channels.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 89 words
The reserved channel allocating method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processing step comprises: inputting the sampled values of the handoff traffic density and the number of the reserved channels as vectors values; converting the vector values into fuzzy-processed input vector values according to predetermined functions; performing at least an AND operation of membership functions with respect to the fuzzy-processed vector values through an appropriate reasoning using one of a minimum operation and prescribed operation; and calculating a control volume for the reserved channels using the result value.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 24 words
The reserved channel allocating method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the AND operation is an operation according to a predetermined basic fuzzy rule.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 22 words
The reserved channel allocating method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the predetermined time interval for sampling is freely adjusted as necessary.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 50 words
The reserved channel allocating method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: determining whether the adjusted ratio of the number of normal channels to the number of reserved channels is available responsive to a handoff call; and allocating or releasing the handoff call according to the result of the determining.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 106 words
The reserved channel allocating method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fuzzy-logic controller comprises: a defuzzification module that generates a crisp output signal using a fuzzy output vector and transmits the crisp output signal to a base station signal processor outside the fuzzy-logic controller; a fuzzy inference engine that generates the fuzzy output vector using an inputted fuzzified input vector; a fuzzy rule base coupled to the fuzzy inference engine that provides fuzzy rules to the fuzzy interference engine; and a fuzzification module that generates the fuzzified input vector using a crisp input vector and a previous crisp output from the base station signal processor.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 169 words
A reserved channel allocating method in a mobile radio communication system comprising: sampling a number of handoff traffic density for a prescribed time interval; sampling a number of reserved channels allocated in a previous time period for said prescribed time interval; outputting a control volume for the reserved channels by processing the sampled number of the reserved channels and the sampled number of handoff traffic density through fuzzy-logic-processing; and setting a new number of the reserved channels by the number of the reserved channel according to the control volume, wherein the outputting step comprises, inputting the sampled values of the handoff traffic density and the number of the reserved channels as vectors values, converting the vector values into proper linguistic variable according to membership functions, performing at least an AND operation of the membership functions with respect to the converted vector values through an appropriate reasoning using one of a minimum operation and a prescribed operation, and calculating the control volume for the reserved channels using the operated values.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 169 words
A reserved channel allocating method in a mobile radio communication system comprising: sampling a number of handoff traffic density for a prescribed time interval; sampling a number of reserved channels allocated in a previous time period for said prescribed time interval; outputting a control volume for the reserved channels by processing the sampled number of the reserved channels and the sampled number of handoff traffic density through fuzzy-logic-processing; and setting a new number of the reserved channels by the number of the reserved channel according to the control volume, wherein the outputting step comprises, inputting the sampled values of the handoff traffic density and the number of the reserved channels as vectors values, converting the vector values into proper linguistic variable according to membership functions, performing at least an AND operation of the membership functions with respect to the converted vector values through an appropriate reasoning using one of a minimum operation and a prescribed operation, and calculating the control volume for the reserved channels using the operated values.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 19 words
The method of claim 10, wherein the AND operation is an operation according to a prescribed basic fuzzy rule.
