Description

本発明は、親局が全ての子局に対して周期的にポーリング信号を送出して、子局からの通信要求を受信する、ポーリング方式に関する。   The present invention relates to a polling method in which a master station periodically sends a polling signal to all the slave stations and receives a communication request from the slave station.

従来のポーリング方式としては、例えば、特開平８−３０７４３４号公報に記載のように、親局が複数の子局に対してポーリング信号を送信する場合、単一の下り制御チャネルを介して、個々の子局に対して順次ポーリング信号を送信し、ポーリング信号を受信した子局が、上り制御チャネルを介して１局毎に要求信号を送信するものが知られている。   As a conventional polling method, for example, as described in JP-A-8-307434, when a master station transmits a polling signal to a plurality of slave stations, individual polling signals are transmitted via a single downlink control channel. It is known that a polling signal is sequentially transmitted to each slave station, and the slave station that has received the polling signal transmits a request signal for each station via an uplink control channel.

特開平８−３０７４３４号公報JP-A-8-307434

しかしながら、特開平８−３０７４３４号公報に記載の方式では、単一の下り制御チャネルを介して親局が個々の子局に対するポーリング信号を順番に送信し、ポーリング信号を受信した子局が、単一の上り制御チャネルを介して要求信号を順次送信するため、子局数が増加した場合には、子局数に比例してポーリング信号の送信周期が長くなり、結果として子局に対する回線割り当てに要する時間が長くなるという問題があった。   However, in the method described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-307434, the master station sequentially transmits polling signals to individual slave stations via a single downlink control channel, and the slave station that has received the polling signal is Since the request signal is transmitted sequentially through one uplink control channel, if the number of slave stations increases, the polling signal transmission cycle becomes longer in proportion to the number of slave stations, and as a result, the line assignment to the slave stations is increased. There was a problem that it took a long time.

本発明の目的は、子局数が増加した場合でも、短時間での回線割り当てを実現できるポーリング方式を提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a polling method capable of realizing line assignment in a short time even when the number of slave stations is increased.

Hereinafter, FIGS. 2B to 2F show the downlink communication channels 2 to N and the uplink communication channel 2 respectively. ~ N communication states are shown.

図１に示した通信システムは、Ｎ個の下り通信チャネルとＮ個の上り通信チャネルとを有する。ここで、Ｎ個の通信チャネルの中でＭ個の通信チャネル（例えば、図２（Ｃ），図２（Ｅ）に示すように、通信チャンネル３，Ｎ−１）は、既に子局に割り当てられて通信中の状態にあるとする。   The communication system shown in FIG. 1 has N downlink communication channels and N uplink communication channels. Here, of the N communication channels, M communication channels (for example, communication channels 3 and N-1 as shown in FIGS. 2C and 2E) are already assigned to the slave stations. Suppose you are in communication.

このような状態のとき、親局１０は、割り当てられていない（Ｎ−Ｍ）個の下り通信チャネル（図２（Ａ），図２（Ｂ），図２（Ｄ），図２（Ｆ）に示すように、下り通信チャンネル１，２，Ｎ−２，Ｎ）を介して、（Ｎ−Ｍ）個のポーリング信号を、（Ｎ−Ｍ）個の子局３０−１，３０−２，３０−Ｎ−２，３０−Ｎに、同時に送信する。自局向けのポーリング信号を受信した（Ｎ−Ｍ）局の子局３０−１，３０−２，３０−Ｎ−２，３０−Ｎは、図２（Ａ），図２（Ｂ），図２（Ｄ），図２（Ｆ）に示すように、受信した下り通信チャネルと対を成す上り通信チャネル１，２，Ｎ−２，Ｎを介して、同時に要求信号を送信する。   In such a state, the master station 10 has not been assigned (NM) downlink communication channels (FIGS. 2A, 2B, 2D, and 2F). (N−M) polling signals are transmitted to (N−M) slave stations 30-1 and 30-2 through downlink communication channels 1, 2, N−2 and N). 30-N-2 and 30-N are transmitted simultaneously.

FIG. 3 is a time chart showing another polling method according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3A shows the communication state of the downlink TDM line, and FIGS. 3B to 3G show the communication states of the uplink communication channels 1 to N.

図１に示した通信システムは、１個の下りＴＤＭ回線とＮ個の上り通信チャネルとを有する。ここで、Ｎ個の通信チャネルの中でＭ個の通信チャネル（例えば、図３（Ｄ），図３（Ｆ）に示すように、通信チャンネル３，Ｎ−１）は、既に子局に割り当てられて通信中の状態にあるとする。   The communication system shown in FIG. 1 has one downlink TDM line and N uplink communication channels. Here, among the N communication channels, M communication channels (for example, communication channels 3 and N-1 as shown in FIGS. 3D and 3F) are already assigned to the slave stations. Suppose you are in communication.

このような時、親局１０は、図３（Ａ）に示すように、N個の下り通信チャネルを時分割多重して、単一のＴＤＭ回線を送信する。親局１０は、図３（Ａ）のＴＤＭフレームの構成に示すように、ＴＤＭ回線に多重された下り通信チャネルの中で、割り当てられていない（Ｎ−Ｍ）個の下り通信チャネルを介して、（Ｎ−Ｍ）個のポーリング信号を１ＴＤＭフレームで送信する。   In such a case, as shown in FIG. 3A, the master station 10 time-division multiplexes N downlink communication channels and transmits a single TDM line. As shown in the configuration of the TDM frame in FIG. 3A, the master station 10 passes through (NM) downlink communication channels that are not allocated among the downlink communication channels multiplexed on the TDM line. , (N−M) polling signals are transmitted in one TDM frame.

一方、自局向けのポーリング信号を受信した（Ｎ−Ｍ）局の子局３０−１，３０−２，３０−Ｎ−２，３０−Ｎは、受信した下り通信チャネルと対を成す上り通信チャネル１，２，Ｎ−２，Ｎを介して、同時に要求信号を送信する。   On the other hand, the slave stations 30-1, 30-2, 30-N-2, and 30-N of the (NM) station that has received the polling signal for the own station are paired with the received downlink communication channel. Request signals are transmitted simultaneously via channels 1, 2, N-2, and N.

次に、図４を用いて、本実施形態によるその他のポーリング方式について説明する。
次に、図４を用いて、本発明の一実施形態によるその他のポーリング方式を示すタイムチャートである。図４（Ａ）は、下り通信チャンネルの通信状態を示しており、図４（Ｂ）〜図４（Ｇ）は、上り通信チャンネル１〜Ｎの通信状態を示している。 Next, another polling method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
Next, it is a time chart which shows the other polling system by one Embodiment of this invention using FIG. 4A shows the communication state of the downlink communication channel, and FIG. 4B to FIG. 4G show the communication states of the uplink communication channels 1 to N.

図１に示した通信システムは、１個の下り通信チャンネルとＮ個の上り通信チャネルとを有する。ここで、Ｎ個の通信チャネルの中でＭ個の通信チャネル（例えば、図４（Ｄ），図４（Ｆ）に示すように、通信チャンネル３，Ｎ−１）は、既に子局に割り当てられて通信中の状態にあるとする。   The communication system shown in FIG. 1 has one downlink communication channel and N uplink communication channels. Here, among the N communication channels, M communication channels (for example, communication channels 3 and N-1 as shown in FIGS. 4D and 4F) are already assigned to the slave stations. Suppose you are in communication.

親局１０は、図４（Ａ）に示すように、単一の下り通信チャネルを介して、複数の子局から成る子局グループに対して、単一のポーリング信号を送信する。自局の収容されている子局グループ向けのポーリング信号を受信した（Ｎ−Ｍ）局の子局３０−１，３０−２，３０−Ｎ−２，３０−Ｎは、ポーリング信号により指定された上り通信チャネル１，２，Ｎ−２，Ｎを介して、同時に要求信号を送信する。   As shown in FIG. 4A, the master station 10 transmits a single polling signal to a slave station group including a plurality of slave stations via a single downlink communication channel. The slave stations 30-1, 30-2, 30-N-2 and 30-N of the (NM) stations that have received the polling signal for the slave station group accommodated by the local station are designated by the polling signal. The request signals are transmitted simultaneously via the uplink communication channels 1, 2, N-2, and N.

従来の方式では、親局が単一の制御チャネルを介してポーリング信号を送信する場合には、１回のポーリング信号の送信から要求信号の受信までに（ｍ）秒が必要とすると、全ての子局に対してポーリング信号送信するためには、子局数を（Ｋ）局とすると（m×Ｋ）秒が必要である。   In the conventional method, when the master station transmits a polling signal via a single control channel, if (m) seconds are required from transmission of a single polling signal to reception of a request signal, In order to transmit a polling signal to a slave station, if the number of slave stations is (K), (m × K) seconds are required.

これに対して、Ｎ個の通信チャネルの中で割り当てられていない（Ｎ−Ｍ）個の使用されていない通信チャネルを介してポーリング信号を送信することにより、全ての子局に対してポーリング信号を送出する時間を、（（m×Ｋ）／（Ｎ−Ｍ））秒に短縮することができる。
On the other hand, the polling signal is transmitted to all the slave stations by transmitting the polling signal through (N−M) unused communication channels that are not allocated among the N communication channels. Can be shortened to ((m × K) / (N−M)) seconds.
