ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In telecommunications systems having a message transmission route between a message source and a message sink, transmitting and receiving devices are used for message processing and transmission, in which
1) the message processing and message transmission can be carried out in a preferred transmission direction (simplex operation) or in both transmission directions (duplex operation),
2) the message processing is analogue or digital,
3) the message transmission is wire-based over the trunk transmission, or is carried out wire-free on the basis of various message transmission methods FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access), (Time Division Multiple Access) and/or CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)—for example in accordance with radio standards such as DECT, GSM, WACS or PACS, IS-54, PHS, PDC etc. (cf. IEEE Communications Magazine, January 1995, pages 50 to 57; D. D. Falconer et al: “Time Division Multiple Access Methods for Wireless Personal Communications”).
“Message” is a generic term which covers both the useful content (information) and the physical representation (signal). Despite a message having the same useful content—that is to say the same information—different signal forms may occur. Thus, for example, a message relating to a circuit may be transmitted
(1) in the form of an image,
(2) as the spoken word,
(3) as the written word,
(4) as an encrypted word or image.
The type of transmission in accordance with (1) . . . (3) is in this case normally characterized by continuous (analogue) signals while, in the case of the transmission type according to (4), the signals are normally discontinuous (for example pulses, digital signals).
On the basis of this general definition of a message system, the invention relates to a method for controlling the setting up of transmission paths (bearers) in wire-free telecommunications systems, in particular in a DECT-specific RLL/WLL system (Radio Local Loop/Wireless Local Loop) which is included as a local message transmission loop in an ISDN system.

The DECT/ISDN Intermediate System DIIS and the RLL/WLL telecommunications subsystem RW-TTS are in this case preferably based on a DECT/GAP-System DGS (Digital Enhanced (previously: European) Cordless Telecommunication; cf. (1): Nachrichtentechnik Elektronik 42 (1992) January/February No. 1, Berlin, DE; U. Pilger “Struktur des DECT-Standards” (Structure of the DECT standard), pages 23 to 29 in conjunction with the ETSI publication ETS 300175-1 . . . 9, October 1992; (2): Telecom Report 16 (1993), No. 1, J. H.

J. Mulder: “DECT, a universal cordless access system”; (5): WO 93/21719 (

with associated description)). The GAP standard (Generic Access Profile) is a subset of the DECT standard which has the task of ensuring interoperability of the DECT radio interface for telephone applications (cf.
ETSI publication prETS
300444, April 1995).
The DECT/ISDN Intermediate System DIIS and the RLL/WLL telecommunications subsystem RW-TTS can alternatively be based on a GSM system (Groupe Spéciale Mobile or Global System for Mobile Communication; cf. Informatik Spektrum 14 (1991) June, No. 3, Berlin, DE; A. Mann: “Der GSM-Standard—Grundlage für digitale europäische Mobilfunknetze (The GSM standard—Basis for digital European mobile radio networks)”, pages 137 to 152). Instead of this, it is also possible in the context of a hybrid telecommunications system for the ISDN telecommunications subsystem I-TTS to be designed as a GSM system.
Furthermore, other possible ways for producing the DECT/ISDN intermediate system DIIS, the RLL/WLL telecommunications subsystem RW-TTS or the ISDN telecommunications subsystems I-TTS include the systems mentioned initially as well as future systems which are based on the known multiple access methods FDMA, TDMA, CDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access, Time Division Multiple Access, Code Division Multiple Access) and hybrid multiple access methods formed from them.
The use of radio channels (for example DECT channels) in classical cable-based telecommunications systems, such as ISDN, is becoming increasingly important, particularly against the background of future alternative network operators without their own complete cable network.
Thus, for example in the case of the RLL/WLL telecommunications subsystem RW-TTS, the wire-free connection technology RLL/WLL (Radio in the Local Loop/Wireless in the Local Loop) for example including the DECT system DS, ISDN services can be made available to the ISDN subscriber on standard ISDN interfaces (cf. FIG.
1
).
In the “ISDN&rlarr2;DECT specific RLL/WLL” telecommunications system IDRW-TS according to
FIG. 1
, a telecommunications subscriber (user) TCU (Tele-Communication User) with TE (Terminal Endpoint; Terminal Equipment), is included in the ISDN world, with the services available in it, for example via a standardized S interface (S-BUS), the DECT/ISDN Intermediate System DIIS, which is designed as a local message transmission loop—is preferably DECT-specific and is contained in the RLL/WLL telecommunications subsystem RW-TTS—(first telecommunications subsystem), a further standardized S interface (S-BUS), a Network Termination NT and a standardized U interface of the ISDN telecommunications subsystem I-TTS (second telecommunications subsystem).
The first telecommunications subsystem DIIS essentially comprises two telecommunications interfaces, a first telecommunications interface DIFS (DECT Intermediate Fixed System) and a second telecommunications interface DIPS (DECT Intermediate Portable System), which are connected to one another without wires, for example via a DECT radio interface. Because of the quasiposition-based first telecommunications interface DIFS, the first telecommunications subsystem DIFS forms the local message transmission loop defined above in this context. The first telecommunications interface DIFS contains a Radio Fixed Part RFP, an InterWorking Unit IWU
1
and an INterface Circuit INC
1
for the S interface. The second telecommunications interface DIPS contains a Radio Portable Part RPP, an InterWorking Unit IWU
2
and an INterface Circuit INC
2
for the S interface. The radio fixed part RFP and the radio portable part RPP in this case form the known DECT/GAP system DGS.
