Description

P/00/011 28/5/91 Regulation 3.2 648927
AUSTRALIA
Patents Act 1990 a r
ORIGINAL
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT Invention Title: «PABX FOR CORDLESS TELEPHONES» The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to us:- Today’s development tendencies in the field of mobile communications make possible the operation of cordless terminals on private branch exchanges. Such known wireless private branch exchanges (WPABX) («Airwaves, architecturu and tomorrow’s PABX», by Douglas Postlethwaite, Communications International, May 1990, p. 59 67) consist of a known private branch exchange which also has terminals connected to it by wire. In its simplest form, the private branch exchange has one base station, which is connected to the private branch exchange, for each radio cell.
Practical configurations use an add-on unit (RBX) which handles switching tasks to control a plurality of base stations.
Therefore, the wireless private branch exchanges consist of two indiJidual parts, whereby the «mobile» part, from the point of view of the known private branch exchange, is connected to analogue or digital line interfaces of the known private branch exchange like another user.
15 The task on which the invention is based was to create a private branch exchaige with integrated mobile unit.
This specification discloses a private branch exchang, comprising a plurality of freely configurable interface modules for connecting a plurality of terminals by wire and for connecting at least one base station which serves a radio cell and is connectable via S 20 a radio interface to one or more cordless terminals; a central control unit for call handling and service-feature control in the private branch exchange; a subordinate control unit subordinate to the central control unit for processing all call-setup and cleardown messages for a predetermined set of call numbers assigned to the cordless terminals, and a bus system to which are connected the central control unit, the subordinate control unit, and the interface modules for exchanging control messages and executing switching tasks. By supplying freely configurable interface modules for connecting terminals by wire and for connecting wireless terminals, and by division of the control such that a central control unit performs all switching and service-featurecontrol tasks while a subordinate control unit controls call setup and -cleardown for the wireless terminals, an integrated solution for a private branch exchange is achieved, which can control terminals connected by wire as well as wireless terminals with all service features of the private branch exchange.
As the subordinate control unit processes a predetermined set of call numbers assigned to the cordless terminals, the interface modules are developed in a preferred design as ISDN S o interfaces, whereby an ISDN to DECT (Digital European Cordless Telephone) protocol conversion for the cordless terminals is carried out in the associated base station. This is important, because the ISDN protocol can only work with call numbers, so that the private branch exchange works only with the ISDN protocol. This means that already existing ISDN-capable private branch exchanges can be used directly.
As a result, the cordless terminals can, on the one hand, use all service features defined in the ISDN, and on the other hand work according to the DLCT protocol, so that, independent of a manufacturer, all cordless terminals working with DECT protocols can be used.
In the following a preferred embodiment is explained with reference to the drawing, Figure 1.
S»The figure shows the structural set-up of a private branch exchange according to Sthe invention.
o.: The private branch exchange (\AIPARX) according to the invention contains a S 15 plurality of freely configurable interface modules for connecting a plurality of terminals (DE) by wire and for connecting two base stations (BS) which serve a radio cell (FZ) each. Each base station (BS) is connectable via an air interface to a plurality of cordless terminals Another obvious feature of the private branch exchange is an interface module (I/F PSTN) configured as an interface to a public net.
S. 20 Furthermore, a central control unit (PABX CPU) for call handling and service-feature control in the private branch exchange, as well as a control unit (mobile CPU) subordinate to the central control unit (PABX CPU) for processing all call-setup and cleardown messages for a predetermined set of call numbers assigned to the cordless terminals (HS) is provided.
The central control unit (PABX CPU), the subordinate control unit (mobile CPU) and all interface modules IF PSTN) are connected to a bus system (BUS) for the exchange of control messages between the control units and also for the execution of switching tasks.
The interface modules shown in the Figure 1 are preferentially designed as ISDN-So interface, so that all ISDN service features are also available to the cordless terminals (HS).
To be able to operate the cordless terminals (HS) according to DECT protocol (Digital European Cordless Telephone), in order to be able to utilise the service features designed for mobile communications, an ISDN-DECT conversion is carried out in the base stations. A useable SDN-protocol can be, e.g. 1TR6 of the Deutsche Bundespost Telekom (German Federal Post Telecom).
Therefore, on the one hand one operates solely with ISDN protocols, but on the other hand all cordless terminals working according to DECT protocol are useable, independent of their manufacturer.
So that only authorized cordless terminals (HS) can set up calls via the base station a terminal identification is carried out in accordance with the predetermined set of call numbers.
This includes provision of a so-called 1:1 assignment, i.e. there is always only one terminal (HS) which is authorized to set up calls via a uniquely assigned call number.
Such terminals can be assigned to particularly authorized persons, so that this terminal (HS) can be used at any time to make calls within the private branch exchanges.
Furthermore, provisions are made that a certain number of cordless terminals (HS) can call via a single, assigned call number (Telepoint). This means for instance, that users, who have only been assigned a terminal connected by wire can conduct 15 wireless calls by means of these cordless terminals (HS) with a somewhat limited scope, as they cannot operate simultaneously.
In the case where, for example, the user of a cordless terminal (HS) wants to establish a connection with a terminal (DE) connected by wire of the private branch exchange (WPABX) a call-setup message is transferred to the bus system (BUS) via the assigned base station (BS) and the associated interface module According to the invention, the subordinate control unit (mobile CPU) has sole access to all call setup and -cleardown messages sent on th interface module assigned to the cordless users.
After receiving a call setup message, the subordinate control unit (mobile CPU) sends a S corresponding control message via the bus system (BUS) to the central control unit (PABX CPU), which is responsible for the higher-order call handling. The central control unit (PABX CPU) then treats the desired call task as if it had been made by any other user. T»:s has the advantage that an already existing private branch exchange control, such P ie central control unit (PABX CPU) described herein, does not have to be changed. Therefore, a call setup to the terminal (DE) connected by wire is made by the known method, via the bus system carrying out the switching tasks.
Obviously, any desired call, e.g. to a public user, is made in the corresponding manner and the call connected via the interface module (I/F PSTN) for the public net.
Correspondingly, of course, i.e. without access to the central control unit (PABX CPU), each individual service feature of the private branch exchange (WPABX) can be accessed from a cordless terminal as according to the invention, the central control unit (PABX CPU) can execute the service feature processing in a manner identical to that used for any other non-mobile terminal.
The private branch exchange (WPABX) according to the invention further makes it possible that each cordless terminal (HS) can be reached anywhere within the ranges of the radio cells (FZ) (roaming), based on the set of call numbers predetermined in the subordinate control unit (mobile CPU). For this purpose, the subordinate control unit (mobile CPU) broadcasts a message to all base stations (BS) and a call to the desired cordless terminal (HS) is established via the terminal identification.
Furthermore, switching of a call, controlled by the subordinate control unit, when moving from a radio cell (FZ) to another radio cell (FZ) during an existing call is possible (handover), and this switch of the call from one base station to a base station assigned to the other radio cell is made in response to a request from the cordless terminal (HS).
