Problems solved by technology

There are many practical problems, however, in adaptation of PLMN infrastructure and a satellite system.
A problem apparent to the Applicant is that a PLMN traffic channel and a traffic channel of a `radio interface` in a satellite system differ considerably.
A problem arises when not only the user data but also the above-described terminal interface status information and potential inter-subchannel synchronization information should be transferred over the radio interface.
However, this would be a very complicated solution, and it would significantly reduce the user data rates available.
Such a solution, where the overhead information causes a significant loss of capacity, would not be satisfactory.
A similar problem can also arise when other types of radio interfaces, such as wireless telephone systems, are connected to the PLMNs.
A similar problem can also arise with other types of connections in which the radio interface rate is to be used as effectively as possible.

Embodiment Construction

The present invention can be applied to data transmission through any traffic channel whatsoever, provided that the data rate of the channel is equal to the user data rate at the terminal interface. The traffic channel can be implemented by any multiple access technique, such as time division multiple access (TDMA) and code division multiple access (CDMA). The invention is obviously applicable in the new 14400 bit / s channel type of the GSM, the 9600 bit / s channel type of the CDMA, and the 4800 kbit / s channel type of the Inmarsat-P satellite system.

The preferred embodiments of the invention will be described below with reference to cooperation of a GSM-based mobile system and the Inmarsat-P satellite system connected to it as a `base station system.` The invention, however, is not to be understood as being limited to these systems.

The structure and the operation of the GSM mobile system, defined in the GSM specifications of the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute), ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a data transmission method and equipment in a telecommunication system, particularly in a situation where the maximum data rate of a traffic channel is equal to one user data rate at a terminal interface. A mobile station inserts terminal interface status information in redundant parts of redundant user data elements of an end-to-end transmission protocol and sends them through the traffic channel without that the status information raises the data rate. If no user data elements are received at the terminal interface, auxiliary frames, in which the terminal interface status information can be transmitted, are generated. A mobile services switching centre separates the terminal interface status information from the redundant data elements or auxiliary frames at the receiving end.

Description

The invention relates to data transmission in a telecommunication system, particularly in a case where the maximum data rate of a traffic channel is equal to one user data rate at a terminal interface.BACKGROUND OF INVENTIONMobile systems generally mean different telecommunication systems that enable private wireless data transmission for subscribers moving within the system. A typical mobile system is a public land mobile network PLMN. The PLMN comprises fixed radio stations (base stations) located in the service area of the mobile network, the radio coverage areas (cells) of the base stations providing a uniform cellular network. A base station provides a radio interface (air interface) in the cell for communication between a mobile station and the PLMN.Another area of mobile systems includes satellite-based mobile services. In a satellite system, radio coverage is obtained by satellites instead of terrestrial base stations, the satellites being in orbit round the earth and transm...
