Abstract
In a PBX network, a global database is provided in each PBX node for storing shared data for verification of authorized mobile stations when accessing the network via a wireless cell-site station. During a wireless mode, a mobile station monitors the strength of its downlink signal from a first cell-site station of a first PBX node. If it falls below a threshold, the mobile station begins a scan across the spectrum. If a strong signal is detected, it stops the scan and transmits a handover request message to a second cell-site station transmitting that strong signal. The second node receives the message via the second cell-site station to establish the mobile's verification. If the mobile station is an authorized user, the second node transmits a handover grant message to the second cell-site station, transmits a command message to the first node for a switchover to a link between the first and second nodes, and connects the link to the second cell-site station.

TITLE OF THE INVENTION
2 "Handover Arrangement for Mobile Station Moving Across the Boundary of 3 Wireless Cell-Site Stations of Adjacent PBXs"
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention s The present invention relates generally to cellular mobile communications systems, and more specifically to a communications s network in which a number of private branch exchanges (PBXs) are 9 interconnected and each PBX accommodates a number of wireless cell-site o stations for serving handheld personal mobile stations.
> > Description of the Related Art ~ 2 In conventional PBX networks where wireless cell-site stations are ~ 3 provided, mobile stations are allowed to establish communication within the 4 area of a PBX if their system identifiers are verified. Handover operation is ~ 5 effected when a communicating mobile station moves from one cell site to s another only if the mobile station remains within the area of the PBX in 7 which it is verified. When a mobile station belonging to a first PBX moves to s the area of a second PBX where it is not verified, the mobile station is 9 required to use the system identifier of the second PBX if it establishes a 2o communication. Therefore, if a communicating mobile station of the first 2~ PBX moves around and enters the area of the second PBX and wishes to 22 continue the communication, the mobile station is required to interrupt the 23 communication by sending an on-hook signal and re-originate a call through 24 the second PBX by using the system identifier of the second PBX.
25 Therefore, a need exists to provide a handover operation that allows a 26 communicating mobile station of a PBX node to continue communication 2~ without interruption when it enters the area of an adjacent PBX node.

23 nodes for operating in a PBX extension mode, the mobile station detecting a 24 strong signal after the strength of a downlink signal falls below a predefined 2s threshold during a wireless mode with a talking party of a first one of the 2s PBX nodes via a first cell-site station and transmitting a handover request 2~ message containing a mobile's address to a second cell-site station which is 28 transmitting the strong signal. A second one of the PBX nodes, when 29 receiving the handover request message via the second cell-site station, 3o determines a home PBX node of the mobile station from the mobile's 3~ address contained in the handover request message, acquires data associated 32 with the mobile station from the local database of the home PBX node, N~-942 identifies the first PBX node from the acquired data as a node from which 2 the mobile station is moving, test the acquired data against verification data 3 stored in the global database of the second PBX node to determine whether 4 the mobile station is an authorized user, transmit a handover grant message to the second cell-site station if the mobile station is verified as an authorized s user, transmit a command message to the first PBX node for a switchover from an old connection between the first cell-site station and the mobile's s talking party to a new path from the mobile's talking party to a 9 communication link between the first and second PBX nodes, and establish a ~o path in the second PBX node between the communication link and the ~ ~ second cell-site station.
~ 2 Preferably, the data stored in the local database includes data ~ 3 concerning identifications of the cell-site stations, and the second PBX
node 4 is arranged to acquire from the local data base of the home PBX node the ~ 5 identification of a cell-site station with which the mobile station is currently s associated, transmit the acquired identification of the cell-site station to the ~ first PBX node with the command message, and update the local database of s the home PBX node with an indication that the mobile station is served by s the second cell-site station, rather than with the first cell-site station, when 20 the path is established in the second PBX node.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
s Referring now to Fig. 1, there is shown a network of private branch 9 exchanges (PBXs) of the present invention, each serving a plurality of ~ o wireless cell-site stations as well as a plurality of PBX extension stations.
For simplicity, the network is shown as comprising three PBX nodes ~ 2 A, B and C having same system identifiers. Each PBX node includes a line ~ 3 interface 11 for terminating PBX extension telephone or facsimile stations ~ 4 12, a cell-site interface 18 for accommodating land-lines of cell-site stations ~ s 13, 14 and a trunk interface 15 for terminating inter-PBX dedicated digital ~ s speech and control channels 20 as well as exchange lines of a public ~ ~ switched telephone network. Between the line interfaces 11, 18 and trunk ~ 8 interface 15 is a switching network 10 for establishing switched connections 9 between PBX user stations under control of a call processor 16 in response to 2o signaling messages from user stations via the line interface 11, cell site 2~ stations via the cell-site interface 18 and digital control channels via the 22 trunk interface 15. Further associated with the call processor 16 is a 23 memory 17.
24 Handheld mobile stations of the type known as Personal Handyphone 25 System ( PHS) are used to access the cel I-site stations 13 and 14 of any PBX
2s node. Each mobile station is identified by a mobile's address which is used 2~ when the mobile station is in a wireless mode and is also identified by a PBX
28 extension number when the mobile station is within the premises of its home 29 PBX node.
3o Mobile stations are accessed from the PBX nodes via cell-site stations 3~ using a common system identifier (SID) which globally identifies a group of 32 PBX nodes forming a common network for mobile stations. Cell-site stations N~-942 of the network form a number of groups (or communities) each identified by 2 a PHS Community Number (PCN). Each cell-site station is uniquely 3 identified by a PBX line number (PLN) that is a concatenation of a PCN, a CSN (Cell-Site Number) which identifies the physical location or network-wide line number of the appearance of a cell-site station at one of the line s terminals of the associated switching network 10) and an ERN (Area Number which identifies a group of cell-site stations which are alerted s simultaneously when an incoming call is received).
A conference bridge 19 may be provided in the PBX node A. This ~ o bridge is connected to the switching network 1 OA to establish a circuit that ~ ~ allows conference calls to access from a number of PBX user stations ~ 2 through the switching network 10 when a telephone conference is held.
~ 3 As shown in Fig. 2A, each PBX node has a global database which is ~4 defined in the memory 17 for mapping a PBX line number (PLN) of each cell ~ 5 site station to corresponding identification numbers of PCN, ERN and CSN.
~ s The global database also defines a map indicating relationships between all mobile stations and their home PBX nodes. As shown in Fig. 2B, a local s database specific to each PBX node is also defined in the memory 17. The 9 local database has a plurality of entries for home mobile stations of the PBX
2o node. In each of the entries, the mobile's address (MA) of a home mobile 2~ station is mapped to the PCN identifier of the mobile station and the 22 identifications ERN and CSN of a cell-site station with which the mobile 23 station of the entry is currently establishing a wireless link. By consulting the 24 local database, each PBX node knows where its home mobile stations are 2s currently located. The memory 17 also stores data concerning all 2s connections of mobile stations currently established in its PBX node and 2~ location registration of these mobile stations.
2s The handover operation of the mobile station 21 will be described 29 with the aid of the flowcharts of Figs. 3 and 4 by assuming that the mobile 3o station is moving around while communicating with a PBX extension 3~ telephone 12 via a path 30 established in the switching network 10A and 32 approaching the cell-site station 14B of PBX node B. !t is further assumed that the PBX node C is the home PBX node of mobile station 21.
2 When the call is in progress, the mobile station 21 is constantly 3 monitoring the field strength of its downlink signal (step 41 ). If it falls below 4 a predefined threshold level, flow proceeds to step 42 to start scanning the frequency spectrum in search of a strong signal. If the mobile station senses s a strong signal coming from an adjacent cell-site station, the mobile station 7 21 stops the scanning operation (step 43). At step 44, the mobile station 21 s determines the source of the strong signal by using the cell-site identifier 9 CSN contained in the received strong signal and transmits a handover ~ o request message to the cel (-site station 14B over a control channel to inform ~ ~ it of the mobile's address and waits for a channel assignment message.
~ 2 On receiving the handover request message from mobile station 21, ~ 3 the cell-site station 14B retransmits it to the call processor 16B of PBX
node B, which is the second node of the handover process with respect to the first PBX node A.
Fig. 4 illustrates the handover operation of the call processor of the ~ 7 second PBX node in response to the cell-site station 14B. When a handover ~ s request message is received from the cel I-site station 14B (step 51 ), the call processor 16B proceeds to step 52 to identify the mobi le's home PBX node C
2o from its global database by using the mobile's address MA2~ of mobile 2~ station 21 contained in the handover request message (see also dotted line 22 71 in Fig. 5) and determine the PCN identification of the requesting cell-site 23 station 14B from the global database by using the PBX line number PLN~4B
24 of the requesting cell-site station 14B (see dotted lines 72 and 73).
2s With the home PBX of mobile station 21 being identified, flow 2s proceeds to step 53 where the second PBX node B transmits a request 2~ message to the home PBX node C to acquire from its local database the 2s mobile's PCN, the CSN~4A identification of the mobile's current cell-site 29 station 14A and the mobile's current identification number ERN~ (see dotted 30 lines 74, 75 and 76).
3~ Therefore, the second PBX node B recognizes from its global database 32 that the cell-site station with which the mobile station 21 has previously _7_ established a link has a PBX line number PLN~4A, and so the PBX node A is 2 the f i rst, or previou s PBX node of the handover operation (see dotted I i nes 75 3 and 77).
Flow proceeds to decision step 54 where the call processor 16B
determines whether the PCN of mobile station 21 is equal to the PCN of the s requesting cell-site station 14B. If not, flow proceeds to the end of the routine. If they equal, it is determined that the mobile station is an 8 authorized user terminal and flow proceeds from step 54 to step 55 to 9 transmit a handover grant message to the requesting cell-site station 14B.
Cell-site station 14B responds to this grant message by selecting an idle ~ ~ speech channel and sends a channel assignment message to the mobile 12 station 21.
~ s In Fig. 3, the mobile station 21 responds to the channel assignment ~4 message from the cell-site stationl4B (step 45) by storing the assigned ~ 5 channel number in memory (step 46) and waits for a switchover command message. If no channel assignment message is received within a predefined time-out period, flow proceeds from step 45 to the end of the routine.
Returning to Fig. 4, since the second PBX node B knows that the first ~ 9 PBX is the node A, the call processor 16B selects an idle inter-PBX
digital 20 speech channel 20 between nodes A and B (step 56). At step 57, the PBX
2~ node B sends a command message through a digital control channel to the 22 first PBX node A, containing the mobile's address MA2~ (see dotted line 78, 23 Fig. 5) and the identifier of the selected digital speech channel and an 24 indication commanding the node's A call processor 16A to set up a new path 2s 31 in the switching network 10A between the mobile's talking party 12 and 2s the selected digital speech channel 20, release the old connection 30 2~ between the cell-site station 14A and the mobile's talking party 12 and 28 update its location registration of mobile station 21 in the memory 17A.
29 Flow proceeds to step 58 where the call processor 16B establishes a 3o path 32 in the switching network 10B between the cell-site station 14B and 3~ the selected digital channel 20, and sends a switchover command message, 32 at step 59, to the requesting cell-site station 14B. At step 60, the call _g_ processor 16B establishes the location registration of mobile station 21 in the 2 memory 17B and terminates its routine. The switchover command message 3 is retransmitted from the cell-site station 14B to the mobile station 21.
4 Reverting to Fig. 3 again, the mobile station 21 receives the ' s switchover command message retransmitted from the cell-site station 14B at s step 47 and proceeds to step 48 to switch its communication path to the channel assigned by the second cell-site station 14B, thus completing a new $ communication path between the mobile's current talking party in the PBX
9 node A and the mobile station 21 indicated by a broken line.
In Fig. 4, flow proceeds from step 60 to step 61 where the second ~ ~ PBX node B informs the home PBX node of the mobile's address MA2~, the ~ 2 address CSN ~ 4B of the new cel I-site station 14B of mobi le station 21 and a ~ 3 new alert area number ERN2 obtained from the global database of node B in ~ 4 order to update its entry for the mobile station 21 (see dotted lines 79, 80).
~ 5 If the mobile station 21 is in a conference mode when it approaches s the cell-site station 14B, using a communication path 33 established in the 7 switching network 10A, the call processor 16B is notified of one of the ~s conference bridge line numbers (CBN) from the home node (step 53) and 9 commands the first node A to establish a new conference path 34 between 2o the conference bridge 19 and the selected digital speech channel 20 and 2~ clear the old connection 33 (step 57).

Further associated with the call processor 16 is a 23 memory 17.
24 Handheld mobile stations of the type known as Personal Handyphone 25 System ( PHS) are used to access the cel I-site stations 13 and 14 of any PBX

~ 3 As shown in Fig. 2A, each PBX node has a global database which is ~4 defined in the memory 17 for mapping a PBX line number (PLN) of each cell ~ 5 site station to corresponding identification numbers of PCN, ERN and CSN.
~ s The global database also defines a map indicating relationships between all mobile stations and their home PBX nodes. As shown in Fig. 2B, a local s database specific to each PBX node is also defined in the memory 17. The 9 local database has a plurality of entries for home mobile stations of the PBX

2s The handover operation of the mobile station 21 will be described 29 with the aid of the flowcharts of Figs. 3 and 4 by assuming that the mobile 3o station is moving around while communicating with a PBX extension 3~ telephone 12 via a path 30 established in the switching network 10A and 32 approaching the cell-site station 14B of PBX node B. !t is further assumed that the PBX node C is the home PBX node of mobile station 21.
2 When the call is in progress, the mobile station 21 is constantly 3 monitoring the field strength of its downlink signal (step 41 ). If it falls below 4 a predefined threshold level, flow proceeds to step 42 to start scanning the frequency spectrum in search of a strong signal.

node B, which is the second node of the handover process with respect to the first PBX node A.
Fig. 4 illustrates the handover operation of the call processor of the ~ 7 second PBX node in response to the cell-site station 14B. When a handover ~ s request message is received from the cel I-site station 14B (step 51 ), the call processor 16B proceeds to step 52 to identify the mobi le's home PBX node C
2o from its global database by using the mobile's address MA2~ of mobile 2~ station 21 contained in the handover request message (see also dotted line 22 71 in Fig. 5) and determine the PCN identification of the requesting cell-site 23 station 14B from the global database by using the PBX line number PLN~4B
24 of the requesting cell-site station 14B (see dotted lines 72 and 73).
2s With the home PBX of mobile station 21 being identified, flow 2s proceeds to step 53 where the second PBX node B transmits a request 2~ message to the home PBX node C to acquire from its local database the 2s mobile's PCN, the CSN~4A identification of the mobile's current cell-site 29 station 14A and the mobile's current identification number ERN~ (see dotted 30 lines 74, 75 and 76).

Flow proceeds to decision step 54 where the call processor 16B
determines whether the PCN of mobile station 21 is equal to the PCN of the s requesting cell-site station 14B. If not, flow proceeds to the end of the routine. If they equal, it is determined that the mobile station is an 8 authorized user terminal and flow proceeds from step 54 to step 55 to 9 transmit a handover grant message to the requesting cell-site station 14B.
Cell-site station 14B responds to this grant message by selecting an idle ~ ~ speech channel and sends a channel assignment message to the mobile 12 station 21.
~ s In Fig. 3, the mobile station 21 responds to the channel assignment ~4 message from the cell-site stationl4B (step 45) by storing the assigned ~ 5 channel number in memory (step 46) and waits for a switchover command message. If no channel assignment message is received within a predefined time-out period, flow proceeds from step 45 to the end of the routine.
Returning to Fig. 4, since the second PBX node B knows that the first ~ 9 PBX is the node A, the call processor 16B selects an idle inter-PBX
digital 20 speech channel 20 between nodes A and B (step 56). At step 57, the PBX
2~ node B sends a command message through a digital control channel to the 22 first PBX node A, containing the mobile's address MA2~ (see dotted line 78, 23 Fig. 5) and the identifier of the selected digital speech channel and an 24 indication commanding the node's A call processor 16A to set up a new path 2s 31 in the switching network 10A between the mobile's talking party 12 and 2s the selected digital speech channel 20, release the old connection 30 2~ between the cell-site station 14A and the mobile's talking party 12 and 28 update its location registration of mobile station 21 in the memory 17A.
29 Flow proceeds to step 58 where the call processor 16B establishes a 3o path 32 in the switching network 10B between the cell-site station 14B and 3~ the selected digital channel 20, and sends a switchover command message, 32 at step 59, to the requesting cell-site station 14B. At step 60, the call _g_ processor 16B establishes the location registration of mobile station 21 in the 2 memory 17B and terminates its routine. The switchover command message 3 is retransmitted from the cell-site station 14B to the mobile station 21.
4 Reverting to Fig. 3 again, the mobile station 21 receives the ' s switchover command message retransmitted from the cell-site station 14B at s step 47 and proceeds to step 48 to switch its communication path to the channel assigned by the second cell-site station 14B, thus completing a new $ communication path between the mobile's current talking party in the PBX
9 node A and the mobile station 21 indicated by a broken line.
In Fig. 4, flow proceeds from step 60 to step 61 where the second ~ ~ PBX node B informs the home PBX node of the mobile's address MA2~, the ~ 2 address CSN ~ 4B of the new cel I-site station 14B of mobi le station 21 and a ~ 3 new alert area number ERN2 obtained from the global database of node B in ~ 4 order to update its entry for the mobile station 21 (see dotted lines 79, 80).
~ 5 If the mobile station 21 is in a conference mode when it approaches s the cell-site station 14B, using a communication path 33 established in the 7 switching network 10A, the call processor 16B is notified of one of the ~s conference bridge line numbers (CBN) from the home node (step 53) and 9 commands the first node A to establish a new conference path 34 between 2o the conference bridge 19 and the selected digital speech channel 20 and 2~ clear the old connection 33 (step 57).
