Definitions
- the present field relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a wireless digital communication system.
- cellular networks were originally designed to deliver voice grade services, having an information bandwidth of approximately three kilohertz (kHz). While techniques exist for communicating data over such radio channels at rate of 9600 k/bits per second (kbps), such low frequency channels do not lend themselves directly to transmitting data at rates of 28.8 kbps or even the 56.6 kbps that is now commonly available using inexpensive wireline modems. These rates are presently thought to be the minimum acceptable data rates for Internet access.
- TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
- an object of the present invention is to more efficiently transmit digital signals in a wireless digital communication system.
- a base station providing wireless communication of digital signals, with the digital signals being communicated in frames using a radio frequency channel via Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modulated radio signals.
- the base station may include a wireless transceiver for establishing a communication session over a digital communication path, and a bandwidth management module connected to the wireless transceiver for allocating a code channel within the radio frequency channel for the digital communication path to exchange digital signals during the communication session.
- CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
- the bandwidth management module may also divide a current frame of digital signals into subframes to be transmitted within the code channel.
- the wireless transceiver transmits the subframes over the digital communication path, and receives feedback over the digital communication path on the subframes received with errors.
- the bandwidth management module may adjust a size of each subframe received with errors to a more efficient subframe size to be retransmitted over the digital communication path.
- the present invention is particularly advantageous in environments requiring the communication of TCP/IP protocols since the number of channels needed to carry a single data stream at burst rates of 56.6 or 128 kbps can be quite large. For example, carrying such TCP/IP frames at these data rates may require up to and including 20 channels operating at 9.6 kbps. Because the probability of at least one relatively weak channel may be significant, by optimizing the throughput of each channel separately, the base station obtains the best overall system throughput in such environments.
- the more efficient subframe sizes may be based on at least one of maximum throughput and minimum transmission time.
- the bandwidth management module may determines a ratio of the subframes received with errors and subframes received without errors, and uses the ratio when determining the more efficient subframe sizes.
- the bandwidth management module may initially determines a size of each subframe within the current frame based upon a number of subframes received with errors for a previous frame.
- Each subframe may include a position identifier, a data portion, an integrity check sum and a sequence number.
- a subframe is considered to be received with errors over the digital communications path if the integrity check sum is not correct, the sequence number is missing, or the position identifier is missing.
- the at least one code channel may comprise a plurality of code channels, and the wireless transceiver transmits the plurality of subframes over the plurality of code channels.
- the digital signals may comprise at least one of voice and data signals.
- the wireless communication of digital signals is performed with a subscriber unit over the digital communication path.
- the at least one radio frequency channel may comprise first and second radio frequency channels.
- the first radio frequency channel establishes a forward code channel between the wireless transceiver and the subscriber unit, with the plurality of subframes being transmitted to the subscriber unit on the forward code channel.
- the second radio frequency channel establishes a reverse code channel between the subscriber unit and the wireless transceiver, with the feedback on the subframes received with errors being transmitted on the reverse code channel by the subscriber unit.
- Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a subscriber unit for providing wireless communication of digital signals between terminal equipment connected therewith and a digital communication path, with the digital signals being communicated in frames using at least one radio frequency channel via Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modulated radio signals.
- CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
- the subscriber unit may comprises a wireless transceiver for establishing a communication session over the digital communication path, and a bandwidth management module connected to the wireless transceiver for receiving over the digital communication path at least one allocated code channel within the at least one radio frequency channel to exchange digital signals during the communication session.
- the bandwidth management module may divide a current frame of digital signals into a plurality of subframes to be transmitted within the at least one code channel.
- the wireless transceiver may transmit the plurality of subframes over the digital communication path, and receives feedback over the digital communication path on the subframes received with errors.
- the bandwidth management module adjusts a size of each subframe received with errors to a more efficient subframe size to be retransmitted over the digital communication path.
- Yet another aspect of the present invention is directed to a digital communication system comprising a subscriber unit as defined above for providing wireless communication of digital signals; and a base station as also defined above for establishing a communication session with the subscriber unit over a digital communications path.

- FIG. 8 is a diagram of one particular embodiment of a subframe according to the invention.
- FIG. 9 is a chart illustrating a particular example of how 20 twenty 9.6 kbps sub-channels with various bit error rates can be used to provide a 138 kbps overall effective transfer rate.
- FIG. 10 is a plot of how the effective bit error rate changes as the number of data bytes in a subframe changes.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system 10 for implementing high speed data communication according to the invention.
- the system 10 comprises a remote or subscriber unit 20 , multiple bi-directional communication links 30 , and a local or service provider unit 40 .
- the subscriber unit 20 connects to terminal equipment 22 such as a portable or laptop computer, hand held Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or the like, via a modem 24 .
- the modem 24 in turn provides data to a protocol converter 25 , which in turn provides data to a multichannel digital transceiver 26 and antenna 27 .
- the modem 24 receives data from the terminal equipment 22 , and together with appropriate hardware and/or software, converts it to a format suitable for transmission such as in accordance with known communication standards.
- the modem 24 may convert data signals from the terminal equipment 22 to a wireline physical layer protocol format such as specified by the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) standard at rates of 128 kbps, or the Kflex standard at rates of 56.6 kbps.
- ISDN Integrated Services Digital Network
- the data provided by the modem is preferably formatted in a manner consistent with suitable network communication protocols such as TCP/IP to permit the terminal equipment 22 to connect to other computers over networks such as the Internet.
- TCP/IP network communication protocols
- the protocol converter 25 implements an intermediate protocol layer for converting the data provided by the modem 24 to a format appropriate for the multichannel transceiver 26 according to the invention, and as will be described in much grater detail below.
- the multichannel digital transceiver 26 provides access to one or more physical communication links such as the illustrated radio channels 30 .
- the physical links are preferably known wireless communication air interfaces using digital modulation techniques such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) standard specified by IS-95. It should be understood that other wireless communication protocols and other types of links 30 may also be used to advantage with the invention.
- CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
- the channels 30 represent one or more relatively slower communication channels, such as operating at a 9.6 kbps rate typical of voice grade communication. These communications channels may be provided by a single wide bandwidth CDMA carrier such as having a 1.25 MegaHertz bandwidth, and then providing the individual channels with unique orthogonal CDMA codes. Alternatively, the multiple channels 30 may be provided by single channel communication media such as provided by other wireless communication protocols. However, what is important is that the net effect is that the channels 30 represent multiple communication channels that may be adversely effected by significant bit error rates that are unique to each link 30 .
- An “error” as described herein is a bit error perceived at the higher layer such as the network layer.
- the invention primarily strives to improve the system level bit error rate instead of providing absolute data integrity.
- the service provider equipment 40 may, for example, be implemented at a wireless Internet Service Provider (ISP) 40 - 1 .
- the equipment includes an antenna 42 - 1 , a multichannel transceiver 44 - 1 , a protocol converter 46 - 1 , and other equipment 48 - 1 such as modems, interfaces, routers, and the like which are needed for the ISP to provide connections to the Internet 49 - 1 .
- the multichannel transceiver 44 - 1 provides functions analagous to the multichannel transceiver 26 of the subscriber unit, but in an inverse fashion.
- the same is true of the protocol converter 46 - 1 that is, it provides inverse functionality to the protocol converter 25 in the subscriber unit 20 .
- the ISP 40 - 1 accepts data from the protocol converter 46 - 1 in the TCP/IP frame format and then communicates such data to the Internet 49 - 1 .
- the configuration of the remaining ISP equipment 48 - 1 may take any number of forms such as a local area networks, multiple dial up connections, T1 carrier connection equipment, or other high speed communication links to the Internet 49 - 1 .
- the provider 40 may function as a radio base station in a cellular telephone system to permit a dial-up connection between the terminal equipment 22 and a server 49 - 2 .
- the base station 40 - 2 includes an antenna 42 - 2 , multichannel transceiver 44 - 2 , and protocol converter 46 - 2 providing one or more connections to a public switched telephone network (PSTN) 48 - 2 , and ultimately to the server 49 - 2 .
- PSTN public switched telephone network
- the protocol converters 25 and 46 can be thought of as intermediate layers within the context of the Open System Interconnect (OSI) model for communication.
- the protocol converter provides a bandwidth management functionality 29 implemented between a physical layer such as provided by the CDMA protocol in use with the multichannel transceivers 26 and a network layer protocol such as TCP/IP providing connections between the terminal equipment 22 and the Internet 49 - 1 or server 49 - 2 .
- the bandwidth management functionality 29 preferably provides a number of functions in order to keep both the physical layer and network layer connections properly maintained over multiple communication links 30 .
- certain physical layer connections may expect to receive a continuous stream of synchronous data bits regardless of whether terminal equipment at either end actually has data to transmit.
- Such functions may also include rate adaption, bonding of multiple channels on the links, spoofing, radio channel setup and takedown.
- the details for implementing a protocol converter specifically for ISDN terminal equipment 22 and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modulation techniques in use by the multichannel transceiver 26 are more specifically described in U.S. Pat.

- the present invention is more particularly concerned with the technique used by the protocol converters 25 and 46 for adjusting the frame size of individual channels used over each of the multiple links 30 in order to improve the effective throughput rate between a sender and a receiver in a bit error rate prone environment. It should be understood in the following discussion that the connections discussed herein are bidirectional, and that a sender may either be the subscriber unit 20 or the provider unit 40 .
- the frame 60 as received at the receiver end should be identical to the frame 50 originating at the sender. This is despite the fact that multiple channels are used with much higher bit error rates with the received frame 60 being transmitted reliably with a bit error rate of 10 ⁇ 6 or better as is typically required in TCP/IP or other network layer protocols.
- the present invention increases the effective data throughput such that the received frames 60 are not affected by the experienced bit error rate performance of network layer connections.
- the invention also preferably optimizes the parameters of each channel 30 separately. Otherwise, a relatively good channel 30 - 1 might suffer down speed procedures required to accommodate a weaker channel 30 - 3 .
- the number of channels 30 that may be needed to carry a single data stream such as a rate of 128 kbps at a given point in time may be relatively large. For example, up to 20 channels 30 may be assigned at a particular time in order to accommodate a desired data transfer rate. Therefore, the probability of different characteristics in any given one of the channels 30 is significantly different.
- the input frame 50 as received from the network layer is relatively large, such as for example 1480 bits long, in the case of a TCP/IP frame.
- the input frame 50 is first divided into a set of smaller pieces 54 - 1 , 54 - 2 .
- the size of the individual pieces 54 are chosen based upon the optimum subframe size for each of the channels 30 available. For example a bandwidth management function may make only a certain number of channels 30 available at any time. A subset of the available channels 30 is selected, and then the optimum number of bits for each subframe intended to be transmitted over respective one of the channels, is then chosen.
- a given frame 54 - 1 may be divided into pieces associated with four channels. At a later time, there may be nine channels 30 available for a frame, with different optimum subframe sizes for the piece 54 - 2 .
- Each of the subframes 56 includes a position identifier 58 a , a data portion 58 b , and a trailer typically in the form of an integrity checksum such as a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) 58 c .
- the position identifier 58 a for each subframe indicates the position within the associated larger frame 50 .
- the subframes 56 are then further prepared for transmission on each channel 30 . This may be done by adding a sequence number related to each channel at the beginning of each subframe 56 . The subframe 56 is then transmitted over the associated channel 30 .
- FIG. 4 illustrates the operations performed at the receive side.
- the subframes 56 are first received on the individual channels 30 .
- a subframe 56 is discarded as received if the CRC portion 58 c is not correct.
- sequence numbers 58 d of the remaining frames 56 are then stripped off and used to determine whether any subframes 56 are missing. Missing subframes 56 can be detected by comparing the received sequence numbers 58 d . If a sequence number is missing, it is assumed that the associated subframe 56 was not received properly. It should be understood that appropriate buffing of data and subframes 56 is typically required in order to properly receive the subframes 56 and determine if there are any missing sequence numbers depending upon the transmission rates, number of channels 30 and propagation delays in effect.
- the position number 58 a is then used to arrange the data from the subframes 56 in the proper order to construct the output received frame 60 .
- the sender and receiver know the ratio of the number of subframes received with errors to the number of frames received without errors. Also, the receiver and sender know the average subframe length for each channel. The optimum subframe size can thus be determined for each channel from these parameters as will be described more fully below.
- FIG. 5 is a more detailed flow diagram of a set of operations performed by the sender in order to implement the invention.
- the frame 50 is obtained from an upper communication layer such as the network layer.
- the sender computes an optimum subframe size from past observations of frame error rates on the individual channels 30 , preferably calculating an optimum subframe size for all communication and channels available.
- a next state 104 the network layer frame 50 is divided into an appropriate number of subframes according to the optimum size for each associated channel available. This division is also based upon the available channel estimated throughput. A list of subframes is then created.
- a position identifier and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code are added to each subframe.
- the position identifier is an offset within the large frame 50 as described above, to allow correct positioning of the subframe when reconstructing the frame 50 at the receive end.
- an appropriate channel 30 is associated with each subframe depending upon the subframe size and transmit queue depth, if multiple channels are available.
- a state 110 is entered in which an optimum subframe size is computed from the observed frame averages for the available communications channels 30 .
- the subframe list is then used to requeue the subframe for retransmission in state 112 . Processing then continues at state 108 for retransmission of the missing subframe.
- FIG. 6 shows the remainder of the steps performed at the sender.
- a channel related sequence number is added to each subframe.
- subframe separators such as flags in the form “7E” are inserted into the subframes.
- any zero insertion such as setting data bits to a 1 after a sequence of five zeros is performed.
- Other synchronization and separation and coding techniques may require that bits be inserted into the subframes at this point. For example, if a given channel 30 may make use of convolutional coding as specified by the IS-95 standard.
- a state 118 the subframes are sent on the available channels 30 .
- Non-data frames such as logical start, logical end and other control frames may be inserted at this point as well.
- a final state 120 the sender operates on any subframe retransmission requests or positive acknowledgments of a large frame being received correctly. Another frame transmission may be indicated, for example, at this point before completion of a frame in transit.
- FIG. 7 shows a detailed sequence of steps performed at the receiver.
- a first state 200 the subframes are received. Any subframe with a good CRC is passed to the next following state 202 . Any other received data entity with a bad CRC is discarded.
- the receiver determines any missing sequence numbers.
- the receiver then requests retransmission of a subframe for the missing pieces based upon sequence number by sending back a retransmission request to the sender.
- a next state 204 from the position identifier and the known length of each original frame 50 , the receiver attempts to rebuild the original frame 50 .
- state 206 if any pieces of the frame 50 are still missing after the retransmission requests are all processed, accommodating the fact that a retransmission request itself may be lost, the receiver requests the missing portion of the large frame 50 by position and size.
- state 208 once the frame 50 is completely received, a positive acknowledgment is returned back to the sender.
- FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating the format of a typical subframe 56 .
- the fields include a data/command field, a large frame sequence number field of two bits, a position (character) offset field of the subframe into the large frame, a channel sequence number, the data, a CRC field, and a shared subframe interframe flag.
- the data/command indicator and large frame sequence number field may each be comprised, for example, of one bit.
- the position offset of the subframe into the associated large frame may be 11 bits long.
- the channel sequence number may be 3 bits long.
- the data field varies from 0 to 2048 bits long, the CRC field may be 12 bits, and the flag may be the standard hex value “7E” of 8 bits.
- an optimum size is computed in state 102 , given a frame error ratio, in order to optimizes the frame size.
- the objective is to improve the perceived bit error rate, assuming that a single bit error will destroy the integrity of a large frame maximizing the efficiency of a given channel 30 .
- the efficiency is the ratio of the actual data bits versus all the data bits transmitted, including protocol elements such as CRC, zero insertions, frame separators and other overhead bits.
- Another objective is to extend the optimum efficiency in a multichannel environment where each channel may have a degree of efficiency different from the other channels.
- R the ratio of received good frames to received bad frames.
- a frame is in error because of a frame integrity destroying the event.
- Such an event can be a single bit in error or cluster of bits in error within a frame boundary.
- the optimum sub-frame size can be determined using the following equations, given information about the frame error rate.
- B total number of bytes in a frame, including data plus overhead
- N number of original data frames, i.e., the number of frames generated by the sender
- the frame error ratio, R can be defined as:
- F RB is the number of frames observed to be received in error and F RG is the observed number of frames correctly received at the receive end.
- An efficiency of transmission, K can in turn be defined as the ratio of data bytes to the total number of data bytes required to transmit the original data, including re-transmissions and frame overhead:

Description
- This application is a divisional of Ser. No. 10/345,810 filed on Jan. 16, 2003 which is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 6,542,481 filed Jan. 31, 2001, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Pat. No. 6,388,999 filed Jun. 1, 1998, which is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 6,236,647 filed Feb. 24, 1998, U.S. Pat. No. 6,151,332 filed on Dec. 17, 1997 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,081,536 filed Dec. 17, 1997, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/050,338 filed Jun. 20, 1997 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/050,277 filed Jun. 20, 1997, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present field relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a wireless digital communication system.
- The widespread availability of personal computers at low cost has lead to a situation where the general public increasingly demands access to the Internet and other computer networks. A similar demand exists for wireless communications in that the public increasingly demands that cellular telephones be available at low cost with widespread coverage.
- As a result of their familiarity with these two technologies, the general population now increasingly wishes to not only have access to computer networks, but also wishes to access such networks in wireless fashion as well. This is of particular concern for the users of portable computers, laptop computers, hand-held personal digital assistants (PDAs), and the like, who would prefer and indeed now expect to be able to access such networks with the same convenience they have grown accustom to when using their cellular telephones.
- Unfortunately, there is still no widely available satisfactory approach for providing low cost, high speed access to the Internet and other networks using the existing wireless infrastructure which has been built at some expense to support cellular telephony. Indeed, at the present time, the users of wireless modems that operate with the existing cellular telephone network often experience a difficult time when trying to, for example, use the Internet to view web pages. The same frustration level is felt in any situation when attempting to perform other tasks that require the transfer of relatively large amounts of data between computers.
- This is at least in part due to the architecture of cellular telephone networks, which were originally designed to support voice communications, as compared to the communication protocols in use for the Internet, which were originally optimized for wireline communication. In particular, the protocols used for connecting computers over wireline networks do not lend themselves well to efficient transmission over standard wireless connections.
- For example, cellular networks were originally designed to deliver voice grade services, having an information bandwidth of approximately three kilohertz (kHz). While techniques exist for communicating data over such radio channels at rate of 9600 k/bits per second (kbps), such low frequency channels do not lend themselves directly to transmitting data at rates of 28.8 kbps or even the 56.6 kbps that is now commonly available using inexpensive wireline modems. These rates are presently thought to be the minimum acceptable data rates for Internet access.
- This situation is true for advanced digital wireless communication protocols as well, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). Even though such systems convert input voice information to digital signals, they were also designed to provide communication channels at voice grade bandwidth. As a result, they have been designed to use communication channels that may exhibit a bit error rate (BER) of as high as approximately one in one thousand bits in multipath fading environments. While such a bit error rate is perfectly acceptable for the transmission of voice signals, it becomes cumbersome for most data transmission environments.
- Such a high bit error rate is certainly unacceptable for Internet type data transmissions. For example, the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) standard in use for Internet air transmission uses a frame size of 1480 bits. Thus, if a bit error is received in every frame, such as detected by a frame check sequence, it would appear as though every single frame might have to be re-transmitted in certain applications.
- In view of the foregoing background, an object of the present invention is to more efficiently transmit digital signals in a wireless digital communication system.
- This and other objects, advantages and features in accordance with the present invention are provided by a base station providing wireless communication of digital signals, with the digital signals being communicated in frames using a radio frequency channel via Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modulated radio signals. The base station may include a wireless transceiver for establishing a communication session over a digital communication path, and a bandwidth management module connected to the wireless transceiver for allocating a code channel within the radio frequency channel for the digital communication path to exchange digital signals during the communication session.
- The bandwidth management module may also divide a current frame of digital signals into subframes to be transmitted within the code channel. The wireless transceiver transmits the subframes over the digital communication path, and receives feedback over the digital communication path on the subframes received with errors. The bandwidth management module may adjust a size of each subframe received with errors to a more efficient subframe size to be retransmitted over the digital communication path.
- The present invention is particularly advantageous in environments requiring the communication of TCP/IP protocols since the number of channels needed to carry a single data stream at burst rates of 56.6 or 128 kbps can be quite large. For example, carrying such TCP/IP frames at these data rates may require up to and including 20 channels operating at 9.6 kbps. Because the probability of at least one relatively weak channel may be significant, by optimizing the throughput of each channel separately, the base station obtains the best overall system throughput in such environments.
- The more efficient subframe sizes may be based on at least one of maximum throughput and minimum transmission time. The bandwidth management module may determines a ratio of the subframes received with errors and subframes received without errors, and uses the ratio when determining the more efficient subframe sizes. The bandwidth management module may initially determines a size of each subframe within the current frame based upon a number of subframes received with errors for a previous frame.
- Each subframe may include a position identifier, a data portion, an integrity check sum and a sequence number. A subframe is considered to be received with errors over the digital communications path if the integrity check sum is not correct, the sequence number is missing, or the position identifier is missing.
- The at least one code channel may comprise a plurality of code channels, and the wireless transceiver transmits the plurality of subframes over the plurality of code channels. The digital signals may comprise at least one of voice and data signals.
- The wireless communication of digital signals is performed with a subscriber unit over the digital communication path. The at least one radio frequency channel may comprise first and second radio frequency channels. The first radio frequency channel establishes a forward code channel between the wireless transceiver and the subscriber unit, with the plurality of subframes being transmitted to the subscriber unit on the forward code channel. The second radio frequency channel establishes a reverse code channel between the subscriber unit and the wireless transceiver, with the feedback on the subframes received with errors being transmitted on the reverse code channel by the subscriber unit.
- Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a subscriber unit for providing wireless communication of digital signals between terminal equipment connected therewith and a digital communication path, with the digital signals being communicated in frames using at least one radio frequency channel via Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modulated radio signals.
- The subscriber unit may comprises a wireless transceiver for establishing a communication session over the digital communication path, and a bandwidth management module connected to the wireless transceiver for receiving over the digital communication path at least one allocated code channel within the at least one radio frequency channel to exchange digital signals during the communication session.
- The bandwidth management module may divide a current frame of digital signals into a plurality of subframes to be transmitted within the at least one code channel. The wireless transceiver may transmit the plurality of subframes over the digital communication path, and receives feedback over the digital communication path on the subframes received with errors. The bandwidth management module adjusts a size of each subframe received with errors to a more efficient subframe size to be retransmitted over the digital communication path.
- Yet another aspect of the present invention is directed to a digital communication system comprising a subscriber unit as defined above for providing wireless communication of digital signals; and a base station as also defined above for establishing a communication session with the subscriber unit over a digital communications path.
- The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the different views. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention.

- FIG. 8 is a diagram of one particular embodiment of a subframe according to the invention.
- FIG. 9 is a chart illustrating a particular example of how 20 twenty 9.6 kbps sub-channels with various bit error rates can be used to provide a 138 kbps overall effective transfer rate.
- FIG. 10 is a plot of how the effective bit error rate changes as the number of data bytes in a subframe changes.
- Turning attention now to the drawings more particularly, FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a
system 10 for implementing high speed data communication according to the invention. Thesystem 10 comprises a remote orsubscriber unit 20, multiple bi-directional communication links 30, and a local or service provider unit 40. - The
subscriber unit 20 connects toterminal equipment 22 such as a portable or laptop computer, hand held Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or the like, via amodem 24. Themodem 24 in turn provides data to aprotocol converter 25, which in turn provides data to a multichannel digital transceiver 26 andantenna 27. - The
modem 24 receives data from theterminal equipment 22, and together with appropriate hardware and/or software, converts it to a format suitable for transmission such as in accordance with known communication standards. For example, themodem 24 may convert data signals from theterminal equipment 22 to a wireline physical layer protocol format such as specified by the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) standard at rates of 128 kbps, or the Kflex standard at rates of 56.6 kbps. At a network layer, the data provided by the modem is preferably formatted in a manner consistent with suitable network communication protocols such as TCP/IP to permit theterminal equipment 22 to connect to other computers over networks such as the Internet. This description of themodem 24 and protocols is exemplary only and it should be understood that other protocols can be used. - The
protocol converter 25 implements an intermediate protocol layer for converting the data provided by themodem 24 to a format appropriate for the multichannel transceiver 26 according to the invention, and as will be described in much grater detail below. - The multichannel digital transceiver26 provides access to one or more physical communication links such as the illustrated
radio channels 30. The physical links are preferably known wireless communication air interfaces using digital modulation techniques such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) standard specified by IS-95. It should be understood that other wireless communication protocols and other types oflinks 30 may also be used to advantage with the invention. - The
channels 30 represent one or more relatively slower communication channels, such as operating at a 9.6 kbps rate typical of voice grade communication. These communications channels may be provided by a single wide bandwidth CDMA carrier such as having a 1.25 MegaHertz bandwidth, and then providing the individual channels with unique orthogonal CDMA codes. Alternatively, themultiple channels 30 may be provided by single channel communication media such as provided by other wireless communication protocols. However, what is important is that the net effect is that thechannels 30 represent multiple communication channels that may be adversely effected by significant bit error rates that are unique to eachlink 30. - An “error” as described herein is a bit error perceived at the higher layer such as the network layer. The invention primarily strives to improve the system level bit error rate instead of providing absolute data integrity.
- On the local level, the service provider equipment40 may, for example, be implemented at a wireless Internet Service Provider (ISP) 40-1. In this case, the equipment includes an antenna 42-1, a multichannel transceiver 44-1, a protocol converter 46-1, and other equipment 48-1 such as modems, interfaces, routers, and the like which are needed for the ISP to provide connections to the Internet 49-1.
- At the ISP40-1, the multichannel transceiver 44-1 provides functions analagous to the multichannel transceiver 26 of the subscriber unit, but in an inverse fashion. The same is true of the protocol converter 46-1, that is, it provides inverse functionality to the
protocol converter 25 in thesubscriber unit 20. The ISP 40-1 accepts data from the protocol converter 46-1 in the TCP/IP frame format and then communicates such data to the Internet 49-1. It should be understood that the configuration of the remaining ISP equipment 48-1 may take any number of forms such as a local area networks, multiple dial up connections, T1 carrier connection equipment, or other high speed communication links to the Internet 49-1. - Alternatively, the provider40 may function as a radio base station in a cellular telephone system to permit a dial-up connection between the
terminal equipment 22 and a server 49-2. In this instance, the base station 40-2 includes an antenna 42-2, multichannel transceiver 44-2, and protocol converter 46-2 providing one or more connections to a public switched telephone network (PSTN) 48-2, and ultimately to the server 49-2. - In addition to the illustrated implementations40-1, 40-2, there may be various other ways of implementing the provider 40 in order to provide a connection to data processing equipment from the
terminal equipment 22. - Turning attention now to the functions of the
protocol converters 25 and 46, they can be thought of as intermediate layers within the context of the Open System Interconnect (OSI) model for communication. In particular, the protocol converter provides abandwidth management functionality 29 implemented between a physical layer such as provided by the CDMA protocol in use with the multichannel transceivers 26 and a network layer protocol such as TCP/IP providing connections between theterminal equipment 22 and the Internet 49-1 or server 49-2. - The
bandwidth management functionality 29 preferably provides a number of functions in order to keep both the physical layer and network layer connections properly maintained over multiple communication links 30. For example, certain physical layer connections may expect to receive a continuous stream of synchronous data bits regardless of whether terminal equipment at either end actually has data to transmit. Such functions may also include rate adaption, bonding of multiple channels on the links, spoofing, radio channel setup and takedown. The details for implementing a protocol converter specifically forISDN terminal equipment 22 and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modulation techniques in use by the multichannel transceiver 26 are more specifically described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,151,332 and 6,081,536 assigned to the current as assignee of the present application, and which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. - The present invention is more particularly concerned with the technique used by the
protocol converters 25 and 46 for adjusting the frame size of individual channels used over each of themultiple links 30 in order to improve the effective throughput rate between a sender and a receiver in a bit error rate prone environment. It should be understood in the following discussion that the connections discussed herein are bidirectional, and that a sender may either be thesubscriber unit 20 or the provider unit 40. - More specifically, the problem addressed by the present invention is shown in FIG. 2. The
frame 60 as received at the receiver end should be identical to theframe 50 originating at the sender. This is despite the fact that multiple channels are used with much higher bit error rates with the receivedframe 60 being transmitted reliably with a bit error rate of 10−6 or better as is typically required in TCP/IP or other network layer protocols. The present invention increases the effective data throughput such that the received frames 60 are not affected by the experienced bit error rate performance of network layer connections. - It should be understood that another assumption is that the individual channels30-1, 30-2 . . . 30-N may experience different bit error rate levels both over time and in an average sense. Although each of the
channels 30 may operate quite similarly, given the statistical nature of errors, identical behavior of all of thechannels 30 is not assumed. For example, a specific channel 30-3 may receive severe interference from another connection in a neighboring cell, and be capable of providing only a 10-3 wherebyother channels 30 may experience very little interference. - To increase the throughput for the
system 10 on a global basis, the invention also preferably optimizes the parameters of eachchannel 30 separately. Otherwise, a relatively good channel 30-1 might suffer down speed procedures required to accommodate a weaker channel 30-3. - It should also be understood that the number of
channels 30 that may be needed to carry a single data stream such as a rate of 128 kbps at a given point in time may be relatively large. For example, up to 20channels 30 may be assigned at a particular time in order to accommodate a desired data transfer rate. Therefore, the probability of different characteristics in any given one of thechannels 30 is significantly different. - Turning attention now more particularly to FIG. 3, the operations of the
protocol converter 25 or 46 at the sender will be more particularly described. As shown, theinput frame 50 as received from the network layer is relatively large, such as for example 1480 bits long, in the case of a TCP/IP frame. - The
input frame 50 is first divided into a set of smaller pieces 54-1, 54-2. The size of theindividual pieces 54 are chosen based upon the optimum subframe size for each of thechannels 30 available. For example a bandwidth management function may make only a certain number ofchannels 30 available at any time. A subset of theavailable channels 30 is selected, and then the optimum number of bits for each subframe intended to be transmitted over respective one of the channels, is then chosen. Thus, as illustrated in the figure, a given frame 54-1 may be divided into pieces associated with four channels. At a later time, there may be ninechannels 30 available for a frame, with different optimum subframe sizes for the piece 54-2. - Each of the
subframes 56 includes aposition identifier 58 a, adata portion 58 b, and a trailer typically in the form of an integrity checksum such as a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) 58 c. Theposition identifier 58 a for each subframe indicates the position within the associatedlarger frame 50. - The
subframes 56 are then further prepared for transmission on eachchannel 30. This may be done by adding a sequence number related to each channel at the beginning of eachsubframe 56. Thesubframe 56 is then transmitted over the associatedchannel 30. - FIG. 4 illustrates the operations performed at the receive side. The
subframes 56 are first received on theindividual channels 30. Asubframe 56 is discarded as received if theCRC portion 58 c is not correct. - The sequence numbers58 d of the remaining
frames 56 are then stripped off and used to determine whether anysubframes 56 are missing.Missing subframes 56 can be detected by comparing the receivedsequence numbers 58 d. If a sequence number is missing, it is assumed that the associatedsubframe 56 was not received properly. It should be understood that appropriate buffing of data andsubframes 56 is typically required in order to properly receive thesubframes 56 and determine if there are any missing sequence numbers depending upon the transmission rates, number ofchannels 30 and propagation delays in effect. - Upon the detection of a missing
subframe 56, retransmission of the missed subframe is requested by the receiving end. At this point, the transmitting end reperforms transmission of the missing subframe. - Once all of the
subframes 56 are received, theposition number 58 a is then used to arrange the data from thesubframes 56 in the proper order to construct the output receivedframe 60. - At this point, also, if any piece of the
large output frame 60 is still missing, such as when an end of frame command is encountered, retransmission of the corresponding subframe can also be requested at the indicated position, specifying a length for the missing piece. - Because of the use of both the position and sequence numbers, the sender and receiver know the ratio of the number of subframes received with errors to the number of frames received without errors. Also, the receiver and sender know the average subframe length for each channel. The optimum subframe size can thus be determined for each channel from these parameters as will be described more fully below.
- FIG. 5 is a more detailed flow diagram of a set of operations performed by the sender in order to implement the invention. In a
first state 100, theframe 50 is obtained from an upper communication layer such as the network layer. In anext state 102, the sender computes an optimum subframe size from past observations of frame error rates on theindividual channels 30, preferably calculating an optimum subframe size for all communication and channels available. - In a
next state 104, thenetwork layer frame 50 is divided into an appropriate number of subframes according to the optimum size for each associated channel available. This division is also based upon the available channel estimated throughput. A list of subframes is then created. - In a
next state 106, a position identifier and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code are added to each subframe. The position identifier is an offset within thelarge frame 50 as described above, to allow correct positioning of the subframe when reconstructing theframe 50 at the receive end. In anext state 108, anappropriate channel 30 is associated with each subframe depending upon the subframe size and transmit queue depth, if multiple channels are available. - Upon receipt of a retransmission request of a subframe missing at the receiver, a
state 110 is entered in which an optimum subframe size is computed from the observed frame averages for theavailable communications channels 30. The subframe list is then used to requeue the subframe for retransmission instate 112. Processing then continues atstate 108 for retransmission of the missing subframe. - FIG. 6 shows the remainder of the steps performed at the sender. In a
state 114, a channel related sequence number is added to each subframe. In a next state 116, subframe separators such as flags in the form “7E” are inserted into the subframes. In addition, any zero insertion such as setting data bits to a 1 after a sequence of five zeros is performed. Other synchronization and separation and coding techniques may require that bits be inserted into the subframes at this point. For example, if a givenchannel 30 may make use of convolutional coding as specified by the IS-95 standard. - In a
state 118, the subframes are sent on theavailable channels 30. Non-data frames such as logical start, logical end and other control frames may be inserted at this point as well. In afinal state 120, the sender operates on any subframe retransmission requests or positive acknowledgments of a large frame being received correctly. Another frame transmission may be indicated, for example, at this point before completion of a frame in transit. - FIG. 7 shows a detailed sequence of steps performed at the receiver. In a
first state 200, the subframes are received. Any subframe with a good CRC is passed to the next followingstate 202. Any other received data entity with a bad CRC is discarded. - Continuing with
state 202, the receiver determines any missing sequence numbers. The receiver then requests retransmission of a subframe for the missing pieces based upon sequence number by sending back a retransmission request to the sender. - In a
next state 204, from the position identifier and the known length of eachoriginal frame 50, the receiver attempts to rebuild theoriginal frame 50. Instate 206, if any pieces of theframe 50 are still missing after the retransmission requests are all processed, accommodating the fact that a retransmission request itself may be lost, the receiver requests the missing portion of thelarge frame 50 by position and size. Instate 208, once theframe 50 is completely received, a positive acknowledgment is returned back to the sender. - FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating the format of a
typical subframe 56. The fields include a data/command field, a large frame sequence number field of two bits, a position (character) offset field of the subframe into the large frame, a channel sequence number, the data, a CRC field, and a shared subframe interframe flag. The data/command indicator and large frame sequence number field may each be comprised, for example, of one bit. The position offset of the subframe into the associated large frame may be 11 bits long. The channel sequence number may be 3 bits long. The data field varies from 0 to 2048 bits long, the CRC field may be 12 bits, and the flag may be the standard hex value “7E” of 8 bits. - Returning to FIG. 5 briefly, as mentioned above, an optimum size is computed in
state 102, given a frame error ratio, in order to optimizes the frame size. The objective is to improve the perceived bit error rate, assuming that a single bit error will destroy the integrity of a large frame maximizing the efficiency of a givenchannel 30. The efficiency is the ratio of the actual data bits versus all the data bits transmitted, including protocol elements such as CRC, zero insertions, frame separators and other overhead bits. Another objective is to extend the optimum efficiency in a multichannel environment where each channel may have a degree of efficiency different from the other channels. - The actual measurement of the number and position of bits in error is impractical and/or time consuming in most real systems. A single bit in error destroys frame integrity, but one or more bits in error in sequence most likely produced the same damage as a single bit. Conversely, a single bit in error in the middle of a synchronization flag destroys two frames. The number of bits in a frame, therefore, cannot be determined exactly without knowing the content of the frame, due to zero insertion.
- However, one practical measurement available is R, the ratio of received good frames to received bad frames. By definition, a frame is in error because of a frame integrity destroying the event. Such an event can be a single bit in error or cluster of bits in error within a frame boundary. Regardless of how the error occurs, the optimum sub-frame size can be determined using the following equations, given information about the frame error rate. Consider first the following definitions:
- G number of good bits received, on average, before a bit is received in error H frame overhead, in bytes, including any shared frame synchronization flag (7E) between frames;
- X number of data bytes in a frame;
- B total number of bytes in a frame, including data plus overhead;
- N number of original data frames, i.e., the number of frames generated by the sender;
- F total number of frames transmitted, including bad frames and re-transmitted frames; and
- the frame error ratio, R, can be defined as:
- R=F RB /F RG (1)
- where FRB is the number of frames observed to be received in error and FRG is the observed number of frames correctly received at the receive end.
- After attempting the transmission of N frames, some of them are received correctly, and some will have been received in error. Some of the latter, in turn, will be re-transmitted, and require still further re-transmission. In general,
- F=N+N*R+(N*R)*R+(N*R*R)*R+ (2)
- F=N*(1+R 2 +R 3+ . . . ) (3)
- F=N/(1−R) (4)
- A normalized efficiency, Fn, can be defined for N=1 as:
- F n=1/(1−R) (5)
- An efficiency of transmission, K, can in turn be defined as the ratio of data bytes to the total number of data bytes required to transmit the original data, including re-transmissions and frame overhead:
-
- which, when multiplying by (X+H)2 becomes:
- X+H−X=(8/G)*(X+H)2 (15)
- which can then be solved as
- X+H={square root}{square root over (G+H/8)} (16)
- or
- (X+H)2 =G*H/8. (17)
- This last equation opens the possibility of implementing an algorithm that optimizes the frame size knowing the bit error rate for a specific channel. Consider that the sender knows R (by counting the number of re-transmission requests), and also knows the current X and H used to pack frames. Redefining G as the average distance, in bits, between frame integrity destroying events, G can be derived as:
- G=(X current +H current)*8/R (18)
-
- This last equation is relatively straightforward to implement. The
system 10 need only keep a filtered average of the number of frames transmitted successfully and the number of frames that did not go across the link. The number of data bytes in the new sub-frames are then adjusted according to the formula. - For practical purposes, there is no need for extreme accuracy in the optimization calculation since there is no guarantee that R remains constant over time. Actually, the purpose is to adapt to changes in the value of R, while still providing a frame size that optimizes the effective throughput during a period of time when only the measurement of an average for R makes sense.
- FIG. 9 is a chart showing the results of modeling the system choosing optimum frame lengths as described. The model illustrated that using a mixed set of
channels 30, such as with two 9.6 kbps channels having an error every 50 bits, 5 channels having a bit error every 500 bits, and 13 channels having a bit error every 5000 bits, thesystem 10 can carry 138 kpbs data rate load with a perceived error rate of 10−6 or better. - FIG. 10 is a sets of curves of the overall effective bit error rate for subchannels operating at 9.6 kbps, assuming bit error rates of 1 bit in every 100, 300, 900, 2700, 8100 and 24300 bits, respectively. Note that the peaks of the curves change depending upon the number of data bytes in a frame as well as the bit error rate.

Those skilled in the art will recognize or be able to ascertain using no more than routine experimentation, many equivalents to the specific embodiments of the invention described specifically herein.
