Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of fitting a message response to a frame size, in particular in the context of IEEE 802.21.
  • Information prioritisation and dynamic information management are popular research areas. Many general solutions have been found for problems such as filtering of information gathered from a database and managing of such information in order to adapt them to particular system requirements. However, a solution for the problems of information prioritisation and information filtering according to their priority has not been presented in the context of the IEEE 802.21 standardisation.
  • the IEEE 802.21 standardisation group aims to define a Media Independent Handover Function (MIHF) that allows a mobile station (MS) to query the networks available in the MS area and what features these networks support.
  • MIHF Media Independent Handover Function
  • MS mobile station
  • GAS Generic Advertisement Service
  • the limit on the GAS frame size may affect the amount of information exchanged via MIHF during the network discovery process. The integrity of this information may also be affected if the original MIHF messages are truncated due to lack of space in the GAS frame. Such frame size limitation is likely to affect the MIHF query response messages, which might contain all the instances of the information found in the information server (IS), requested by the MS via MIHF query messages. At present, the IEEE 802.21 standard does not provide any tool to adapt the
  • MIHF messages to the size limit imposed by the underlying GAS protocol. This means that MIHF messages may be much larger than the GAS frame, therefore resulting in truncation. Also, this means that the information encapsulated in GAS frames is not chosen according to its importance, but only according to how the information is arranged in the IS and selected by the IS parser.
  • a method of fitting a message response to a frame size comprises preparing a query message to send from a user device to a network; allocating priority levels to each information element in the message and providing the information elements and their allocated priority levels in the message; sending the message to the network; and at the network, determining a maximum permitted frame size for a response; preparing the response; comparing the size of the response with the maximum frame size; if the size of the response exceeds the maximum frame size, reducing the number of information elements in the response, by removing information elements having lowest priority until the response is within the maximum permitted frame size; and sending the filtered response.
  • the present invention allocates priority levels to each information element and for a response, where a maximum frame size has been set, the number of information elements can be reduced, by removing information elements having the lowest priority until the response is within the maximum frame size, then the filtered response is sent.
  • the step of reducing the number of information elements comprises filtering out the information elements having the lowest priority; and repeating the comparison and filtering steps for increasing levels of priority until the response is within the maximum frame size limit.
  • reducing the number of information elements comprises determining the number of bytes available in the maximum frame size and filtering out sufficient information elements, to fit the response within the maximum frame size.
  • reducing the number of information elements further comprises reducing the number of instances of information elements having the same priority level.
  • the user device sends a further message requesting the filtered out instances of the information elements.
  • the maximum number of further messages relating to the same query message is limited to a predetermined value.
  • the query message is transported via a generic advertisement service protocol.
  • the query message forms part of a media independent handover function.
  • Figure 1 illustrates message exchange between a mobile station and an information server; and,
  • Figure 2 shows a table of information elements instances available in a database at an information server.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a communication system comprising a user device in this case a mobile station (MS) and a network comprising an access point (AP) and a network information server (IS).
  • a media independent handover function MIHF at the MS sends an MIH query message 1 to the IS in order to discover a number of parameters for each network available in the MS hot spot.
  • the parameters are subscription service provider network (SSPN), service set identifier (SSID), extended service set ID (ESSID), quality of service (QoS) capability, service name and service type.
  • SSPN subscription service provider network
  • SSID service set identifier
  • ESSID extended service set ID
  • QoS quality of service
  • Other combinations of parameters may be requested, although SSPN, SSID and ESSID are essential in most of 802.11 network discovery processes involving response messages sent according to 802.21 specifications
  • the MIHF in the MS assigns priority levels for each requested information field.
  • the allocation of priority levels depends upon the status of the MS, so that for a mobile user, the priority level for a particular IE may be different as compared with a static user of the MS.
  • systems other than 802.21 have considered allocation of priority, this has been on the basis of a fixed pre-allocation, rather than having MS able to do the allocation according to its status.
  • the MIHF in the IS is able to retrieve a maximum GAS frame size via information exchange with the GAS protocol and to adapt 2 the MIH query response message, so as to fit it into the maximum GAS frame size.
  • the IS checks whether the query response is larger than the maximum GAS frame size and if it is, the IS filters out information fields.
  • the adaptation may be done in an iterative way, or it can be done as a straight calculation of the available frame size and the number of elements that can fit in this.
  • the MIHF at the IS calculates the size of the full query response message and compares it against the Frame M a x value. For the iterative process, if FrameMax is smaller than the response size, the MIHF formulates a new response, not including the priority 6 information elements (lowest priority elements). If this response is still larger than the Frame M a x value, then the MIHF formulates a new response, not including the priority 5 information elements. This process continues until the response size is less than, or equal to the Frame M a x value. The MIH query response 3 is then sent.
  • SSPN SSID
  • ESSID ESSID
  • the priority threshold states that information fields with a priority number lower than, or equal to 3 cannot be filtered out from the query response message.
  • the threshold value is defined and made available to the MIHF according to the specific circumstances of the example.
  • the MIHF starts filtering out instances of the whole set of information required, i.e. rows in Table 1. This filtering process is carried out until a new threshold is reached: the instance threshold.
  • the instance threshold specifies the information instance after which no more filtering can be applied. With reference to Table 1, this is the row after which no more rows can be filtered out. In this example, this is set at instance 2, so that the user still has a choice of network service provider at a particular hot spot.
  • Both the priority threshold and the instance threshold are set in such a way that the query response size, resulting from the maximum level of filtering, has to fit into the maximum GAS frame size.
  • the MS checks 4 if the information received is sufficient and if the information received by the MIHF at the MS is considered to be insufficient for the process of network selection a new query message is submitted to the IS requesting the information filtered out from the previous response.
  • the query messages derived as a consequence of the query response size reduction are limited in number, i.e. a maximum number of derived queries is fixed.
  • the MIHF at the MS does not exceed this limit and the MIHF at the IS does not respond to queries exceeding such a limit.
  • the present invention provides priority levels to the information fields required in query messages from the MIHF in the MS to the MIHF in the IS.
  • the MIHF is enabled in the IS to check the maximum GAS frame size in order to understand if the query response message derived by the MIHF in the IS is larger than the maximum GAS frame size.
  • the MIHF is enabled in the IS to filter out low priority information, as well as instances of the information found in the database, in order to reduce the MIHF query response message to the maximum GAS frame size.
  • the MIHF is enabled in the MS to send a new query message if the information filtered out by the MIHF in the IS is considered to be essential.
  • a limit is set for the number of consecutive query messages sent by the MIHF at the MS as the consequence of filtering performed.
  • the main advantages gained by adopting the described invention are that information element prioritisation in the MIH query message is enabled, so as to enable query response size reduction and to prevent unwanted truncation or discarding of important information which would result from simply setting a maximum response size and blindly sending that part of the data which fitted within the size limit.
  • Thresholds are fixed to avoid filtering out of information essential for network selection, as well as to avoid large number of following queries to be sent to the IS.
  • Information element prioritisation allows situations to be avoided where the whole set of information found in the IS database is larger than the maximum GAS frame size and part of this information needs to arbitrarily selected and discarded.
  • Fixed thresholds ensure that the instances of information groups delivered to the MS contain the essential information needed to identify available networks and also allows fixing of a limit to the number of queries derived from the process of information filtering, which might cause network congestions if delivered in large numbers.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'ajuster une réponse de message à une taille de trame, consistant à préparer un message de requête à envoyer d'un dispositif utilisateur à un réseau; et à attribuer des niveaux de priorité à chaque élément d'information dans le message et à fournir ces éléments d'information et leurs niveaux de priorité attribués dans le message. Le message est envoyé au réseau; et au niveau du réseau, une taille de trame maximale autorisée pour une réponse est déterminée et la réponse est préparée. La taille de la réponse est comparée à la taille de trame maximale. Si la taille de la réponse est supérieure à la taille de trame maximale, le nombre d'éléments d'information contenus dans la réponse est réduit par la suppression des éléments d'information qui présentent la priorité la plus faible, jusqu'à ce que la réponse corresponde à une taille de trame maximale autorisée; la réponse filtrée est alors envoyée.
