Terminal-driven Coverage Area Detection with Low Power Consumption

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) It is necessary to select an appropriate access network out of the several available when a multi-mode terminal is used. It is also important to perform switchover of the access system, i.e. a vertical handover, according to location. For example, we have a dual-mode terminal which can connect to both wireless LAN (WLAN) and cellular networks, featuring a high transmission rate and wide coverage area, respectively. Using such a terminal, we can enjoy WLAN indoors and cellular outdoors; maintaining a session to perform the vertical handover. Before selecting and switching access networks however, it is necessary to detect the coverage area of the access networks to be connected, for which a reduction in power consumption is required in view of the battery-powered mobile terminal. In addition, it is desirable to avoid changes to existing networks because this would have a significant cost impact on many networks that have already been deployed. In this paper, the authors propose a terminal-driven coverage area detection method with low power consumption. The method deduces a movement from an outdoor cellular coverage area into an indoor space, where the WLAN coverage area mainly exists by monitoring the transition of the signal quality of a cellular system. Furthermore, the authors also introduce the method of ascertaining the deduction by leveraging the GPS signal.
