"A FAST CALL SETUP METHOD"

Abstract In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a method and apparatus for performing fast call set-up in a wireless network is presented. A number of efficiencies are implemented to diminish the time required for establishing a call in a packet-based network. For example, call initiation and Base Station Subsystem (BSS) resource allocation are performed contemporaneously; radio link resources and packet resources are initiated contemporaneously; an A10 interface is established immediately after allocating and connecting Packet Control Function (PCF) resources for a packet data session; and a service connection request is performed immediately after a channel assignment process is performed.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention:
This invention relates to communications. Specifically, the setup of a communication call.
Description of the Prior Art:
Conventional communications networks often include packet-switched technology.
Although circuit-switched networks were implemented first, they are an older more traditional
technology. Packet-switched networks are newer more flexible networks. A wide variety of new
applications are being implemented to take advantage of the flexibility of these packet-switched
networks.
In a packet-switched network, packets may take a variety of different paths to arrive at a
given destination. A message is first fragmented into packets, communicated across a network,
and then combined back into the original message. Since the packets do not all take the same path,
packet-switched networks have gained wide acceptance. For example, if a link goes down on a
path, the packets can all be re-routed and still reach their destination with minimal effort.
In general, packet-switched networks are being widely deployed and will continue to be
widely deployed in the foreseeable future. However, packet-switched networks are not without
their problems and the advent of new technologies and applications highlight some of these
problems. For example, one of the slower aspects of a packet-switched communication session is
the initial setup of the call. In addition, in many applications, such as push-to-talk, etc., there are
times when a full circuit is not required, but instead there is a need to transmit just a few bits.
Unfortunately, conventional packet-switched technologies and protocols were not initially
designed for these types of applications and, as such, perform poorly when these applications are
implemented.
An example of a conventional implementation of a packet-based network will be shown in
Fig. 1A and Fig. IB. Fig. 1A displays a conventional message process flow diagram. In Fig. 1A, a
Mobile Station (MS) 100 is shown. The MS 100 is in communication with a Base Station
Subsystem (BSS) 102. The BSS 102 includes a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) 104 that is in
communication with a Base Station Controller (BSC) 106. The BSC 106 also includes a Call
Processor (CP) 108, a Resource Manager (RM) 120, and a Routing Agent (RA) 112. The RA 112
is in communication with an MSC 120 and a Packet Control Function (PCF) 114. The BSC 106
communicates with a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 120 and a PCF 114. The PCF 114 is in
communication with an IP network 116. An Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting
(AAA) server 122 may be accessed through the IP network 116. A PDSN 118 is also in
communication with the IP Network 116.
In a conventional system, the MS 100 generates an origination message 124. Origination
for routing 126 is performed between the BTS 104 and the RA 112. The RA 112 communicates
the origination to the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 120. The MSC 120 conducts a setup
conversation 132 with the RA 112. The RA 112 communicates a resource allocation request 134
to the RM 110. The RM 110 and the CP 108 allocate resources as shown by 136. The RM 110
sends a resource allocation response 138 to the RA 112. The RA 112 communicates a request for
call setup 140 to the CP 108. The CP 108 communicates a response to the call setup 142. The RA
112 communicates a request to radio link setup 144 to the CP 108. The CP 108 and the BTS 104
allocate channel resources as shown by 146. The CP 108 generates a response to radio link setup
148. A channel assignment process 150 is performed between the CP 108 and the MS 100. The
CP 108 communicates with the Packet Control Function (PCF) 114 to allocate PCF resources for
packet data session 152. The PCF 114 communicates a response to allocate PCF resources for
packet data session 154 with the CP 108.
Fig. IB displays a continuation of the conventional message process flow diagram shown
in Fig. 1A. In Fig. IB, the CP 108 communicates with the PCF 114 to request connect PCF
resources for packet data session 156. The PCF 114 communicates with the Packet Data Service
Node (PDSN) 118 to setup/connect an A10 interface 158. The PCF 114 communicates with the
CP 108 to connect PCF resources for packet data session 160. The RA 112 sends a Service
Connect (SC) request 162 to the CP 108. The CP 108 and the MS 100 perform a service
connection/negotiation process 164. The CP 108 sends a service connection response 166 to the
RA 112. The RA 112 sends a Sat present message 168 to the MSC 120 and, as a result of the
foregoing, data 170 may be communicated between the MS 100 and the PDSN 118.
It is clear from the foregoing process flow diagram that a number of steps must be
accomplished to setup a call in a packet-based network. The various steps require time to setup the
call. In addition, many of the steps are required before other steps can be accomplished. The
foregoing process results in more cost for the operating network, dissatisfied customers because of
the user delay, and ultimately, may even limit the types of applications that can be implemented in
the network.
Thus, there is a need for reducing the time for call setup in a packet-switched network. In
addition, there is a need for methods that facilitate the efficient operation of packet-switched
networks.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A method and apparatus is presented that decreases the call setup time for packet-based
applications, such as Push-To-Talk (PTT), Voice-over-IP (VoIP), etc. In one embodiment, the call
setup time is decreased by enhancing the interface between an MS and BSS.
In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, the call setup time in a packet
network is decreased by performing contemporaneous process execution within a BSS for delaysensitive
packet-based applications, such as PTT and VoIP. In one embodiment, call origination
is processed at the same time as the resource allocation in the BSS. In a first embodiment, call
origination is processed during user authentication. In a second embodiment, radio link resources
and packet resources are allocated at the same time. In a third embodiment, a service connection
and/or service negotiation process are performed directly after a channel assignment process. In a
fourth embodiment, service connection and/or service negotiation processes are eliminated after a
channel assignment process.
In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, multiple steps are combined into
a single step within the BSS as a part of a call setup process for allocating a traffic channel to the
MS. In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, packet-based applications are
identified and/or remembered and, as such, receive special treatment in the wireless access
network so that the MS allocates a traffic channel at the earliest possible time. In an example a
unique service option is assigned to a delay-sensitive packet-based applications (such as PTT or
VoIP). This service option may be included by the MS in the origination message so that the
network may provide a fast call setup service for this specific delay-sensitive packet-based
applications (such as PTT or VoIP).

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
While the present invention is described herein with reference to illustrative embodiments
for particular applications, it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. Those
having ordinary skill in the art and access to the teachings provided herein will recognize
additional modifications, applications, and embodiments within the scope thereof and additional
fields in which the present invention would be of significant utility.
Fig. 2 displays a message process flow diagram detailing the method and apparatus of the
present invention, hi one embodiment, the method and apparatus presented may be implemented
to establish a packet data call communication circuit for specific delay-sensitive applications, such
as PTT, VoIP, etc. In one embodiment, delay-sensitive applications include applications that
require end-to-end communication within a certain time to properly operate the application. In
accordance with the teachings of the present invention, the call setup time in a packet network is
decreased by performing contemporaneous process execution within a BSS for delay-sensitive
packet-based applications, such as PTT and VoIP. In one embodiment, contemporaneous process
steps include those process steps that are performed simultaneously, relatively simultaneously
when compared with the time on other process steps and/or within the same time period when
compared with the time period of other steps.
In Fig. 2, a Mobile Station (MS) 200 is shown. The MS 200 is in communication with a
Base Station Subsystem (BSS) 202. The BSS 202 includes a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) 204
that is in communication with a Base Station Controller (BSC) 206. The BSC 206 also includes a
Call Processor (CP) 208, a Resource Manager (RM) 210, and a Routing Agent (RA) 212. The RA
212 is in communication with an MSC 220 and a Packet Control Function (PCF) 214. The BSC
206 communicates with a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 220 and a PCF 214. The PCF 214 is
in communication with an IP network 216. An Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting
(AAA) server 222 may be accessed through the IP network 216. A PDSN 218 is also in
communication with the IP Network 216. It should be appreciated that, in alternate embodiments,
the Packet Control Function (PCF) 214 and the PDSN 218 may each function as part of the BSS
202.
In one embodiment, the RM 210 is primarily responsible for allocating resources, such as
selecting the appropriate CP 208, memory resources, etc., within the BSC 206. In one
embodiment, the RA 212 is a functional entity within the BSC 206 that is responsible for routing
messages within the BSS 202.
In one embodiment of the present invention, messages are sent from the MS 200 to the
PSDN 218 to establish a communication path for data transmission. The messages and
architectures discussed in the instant application are defined in various wireless standards. Among
these standards are 3GPP2 Access Network Interfaces Interoperability Specification, A.S0002-A
Version 2.0, 3GPP2, http://www.3gpp2.Org/PublicJitrru7specs/A.S0002-A v2.0.pdf. June 2002
and Interoperability Specification (IOS) for cdma2000 Access Network Interfaces Part 7—A20
and A22 Interfaces, 3G-IOSv4.3, 3GPP2 A.S0027-A, Version 2.0.2,
http://www.3gpp2.org/Public_html/specs/A.S0027-A_v2.0.2_222903.pd£. July 2003, which are
both incorporated by reference.
The MS 200 sends a call setup initiation message 224, such as an origination message, a
page response message, a reconnect message, etc., to the BTS 204. The BTS 204 forwards the call
setup initiation message 226 to the RA 212. The BTS 204 sends a base station acknowledgement
message (BS Ack) 234 to the MS 200 indicating that the call setup initiation message 224 has been
received.
Upon receiving the call setup initiation message 226, the RA 212 identifies the call as a
packet data call for a specific packet-based application, such as PTT application, VoIP application,
push-to-media, instant messaging, etc., that requires special treatment. In accordance with the
teachings of the present invention, the RA 212 performs the following two tasks:
a) The RA 212 forwards the call setup origination message 228 to the MSC 220 for
further processing, such as authentication shown as 229, retrieval of user's profile
etc.;
b) The RA 212 communicates a resource allocation request 230 to request that the
RM 210 allocates all of the resources needed within the BSC 206 to complete the
call setup process; the RM 210 communicates with the CP 208 to allocate
resources 232; the RM 210 communicates a resource allocation response 236 to
the RA 212.
The RM 210 allocates the appropriate CP 208 resources and communicates an allocate
resource message 232 to inform the selected CP 208 module that it has been selected for
processing this particular call setup message for the packet-based applications (i.e., such as PTT
and VoIP). The MSC 220 replies to the origination message 228 with a setup conversation
message 238 that may include the MS's 200 profile, such as Supplemental Channel (SCH)
capability, Short Data Burst (SDB), supported bit, etc. RM 210 communicates a resource
allocation response 236 to inform the RA 212 that the appropriate CP 208 module and the other
necessary resources within the BSC 206 have been allocated. In one embodiment, the RM 210
provides the identity, such as an IP (Internet Protocol) address of the CP 208 module to the RA
212. In another embodiment, the RM 210 also provides the software record number of a CP 208
element to the RA 212.
The RA 212 identifies the call as a packet data call for specific packet-based applications
(such as PTT and VoIP). It, therefore, combines the functions of call setup and radio link setup
into a single message before forwarding it to the CP 208. Using a combined message (i.e.,
combined request for call and radio link setup 240), the CP 208 performs all the necessary tasks
needed to setup the call as well as setup the radio link between the MS 200 and the BSS 202. In
this way, the messages between the RA 212 and the CP 208 are minimized to a single message as
opposed to multiple messages. In one embodiment, the combined message may include parameters,
such as the Quality of Service (QoS) priority, the SDB bit, etc. Upon receiving the combined
request for call and radio link setup 240, the CP 208 may perform the following two functions
(among other things):
a) Using an allocate channel resources message 242, the CP 208 requests the BTS
204 to allocate the radio link related resources. Radio link related resources
include the resources necessary to establish, operate, and terminate a radio link. In
a first embodiment, the radio related resources may include a Channel Element
(CE), Fundamental Channel (FCH), a FCH Walsh Code, a radio frequency
channel, a packet scheduler, a frame processor, a code (such as long code mask,
Walsh code etc.) generator, a code (such as long code mask, Walsh code etc.)
distributor, radio frequency transmitter, and radio frequency receiver, hi addition,
the radio link-related resources may include, but are not limited to, the following:
hardware and software entities within the BTS 204, BSC 206, and PCF 214 that
process a packet-based session; software manager (such as PCF manager) to
manage such resources; software binding cache to create and maintain corelationship
(also known as software 'binding') between the user's radio-related
address, such as International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), Mobile
Identification Number (MIN), Mobile Equipment ID (MEID), etc.; the user's
packet-related address, such as IP address, Network Access Identifier (NAI),
Ethernet address, etc.; software session manager to create and maintain the packet
session ID, packet session state, R-P session information, etc.; and mobility
manager to maintain the mobility information in the packet domain. The CP 208
may also send null frames on the forward FCH as a part of allocating radio link
related resources;
b) The CP 208 sends a message (i.e., allocate and connect PCF resources for packet
data session message 244) to the PCF 214 to request that the PCF 214 allocate
appropriate resources (i.e., packet resources) to setup this packet data call for
specific packet-based applications (such as PTT and VoIP). Packet resources
include the resources necessary to establish, operate, and terminate a packet link.
In one embodiment, the packet resources include hardware and software entities
within the BSC 206 and PCF 214 to process a packet-based session; software
manager (such as PCF manager) to manage such resources; software binding cache
to create and maintain co-relationship (also known as software 'binding') between
the user's radio-related address, such as International Mobile Subscriber Identity
(IMSI), Mobile Identification Number (MIN), Mobile Equipment ID (MEID), etc.;
the user's packet-related address, such as IP address, Network Access Identifier
(NAI), Ethernet address, etc.; software session manager to create and maintain the
packet session ID, packet session state, R-P session information, etc.; and mobility
manager to maintain the mobility information in the packet domain. In one
embodiment, the allocated and connected PCF resources for packet data session
message 244 may include the transition identification (i.e., to indicate whether the
MS 200 is transitioning from Null to Active or Dormant to Active, and/or the
MS's 200 International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)).
The PCF 214 allocates the appropriate resources necessary to setup the packet data call for
specific packet-based applications (such as PTT and VoIP). The PCF 214 resources may include a
block of Read Only Memory, a packet session identification (SID), a Port identification (PID), etc.
The PCF 214 may then send an All-Resigtration Request message to the PDSN 218 to set up (or
re-connect) an A10 interface as shown by 246 to serve specific packet-based applications (such as
PTT and VoIP). The PCF 214 may also create a proprietary A10 interface between the PCF 214
and the PDSN 218.
The PCF 214 communicates allocate and connect PCF resources for packet data session
message 248 to the CP 208 to inform the CP 208 that the appropriate resources as well as the A10
interface have been allocated (or connected) to setup this packet data for specific packet-based
applications (such as PTT and VoIP). The CP 208 communicates with the MS 200, shown with
the channel assignment process 250 to complete the channel assignment process between the MS
200 and the BSS 202. In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, in one
embodiment, the channel assignment process 250 may continue simultaneously while the steps of
allocate and connect PCF resources for packet data session 244, setup/connect A10 interface 246,
and allocate and connect PCF resources for packet data session 248 are being performed. In one
embodiment, the channel assignment process 250 may include the CP 208 sending Extended
Channel Assignment Message (ECAM) to MS 200 on a paging channel, the assigned CE acquiring
reverse FCH, the BTS receiving traffic channel preamble from the MS 200, the CP 208 receiving
null traffic data from the MS 200, the CP 208 sending BS Ack message 234 to the MS 200, the MS
200 sending MS Acknowledgement (MS Ack) 234 message to the CP 208, the CP 208 sending
Status Request message to the MS 200 and the MS 200 sending Status Response message to the
CP 208, etc.
The CP 208 communicates a response to call and radio link setup 252 to inform the RA
212 that the channel has been successfully setup for this packet data call for serving specific
applications (such as PTT and VoIP). The RA 212 communicates a Service Connection (SC)
request 254 to request that the CP 208 sends a service connect message to the MS 200. In one
embodiment, the SC request 254 includes the user's zone ID, the user's network ID, and other
location-related information.
The CP 208 completes the service connect process as shown by 256. hi one embodiment,
completing the service connection process 256 includes sending a service connect message to the
MS 200 and then receiving a service connect complete message from the MS 200. The service
connect message informs the MS 200 that the call has been setup to serve specific applications
(such as PTT and VoIP). In one embodiment, parameters, such as the multiplexing option, coding
type, interleaving type, and allowed radio configuration, etc., may be included in the service
connect message.
As shown by the SC response 258, the CP 208 informs the RA 212 that the MS 200 has
been granted access to the BSS 202 to serve specific packet-based applications (such as PTT and
VoIP). In one embodiment, the CP 208 informs the RA 212 about MS's 200 SCH capabilities,
SDB supported bit, the PCF 214 address, etc. In another embodiment, the SC request 254, the
service connect process 256, and SC response 258 can all be omitted to reduce the call setup time.
This is done based on the network's knowledge that the user is currently in the process of
launching specific packet-based applications (such as PTT and VoIP).
The RA 212 sends a Sat present message 260 to the MSC 220 informing the MSC 220 that
the MS 200 has been allowed in the network, that is, a traffic channel has been allocated to the MS
200. In one embodiment, the Sat present message 260 may also inform the MSC 220 of the MS
200 SCH capabilities, SDB supported bits, etc.
The MS 200 may now launch the specific packet-based applications illustrated by the data
262. The MS 200 may also establish Radio Link Protocol (RLP) and Point-To-Point (PPP)
sessions (not shown in the figure) before launching the specific packet-based applications.

invention. The computer 300 may be used to implement the MS 200, the BSC 206, the CP 208,

addition, the communication pathway 310 may be connected to interfaces, which communicate
information out of the computer 300 or receive information into the computer 300.
