第三代行動網路,如 UMTS,包含兩種頻道類型:公用頻道與專屬頻道。公用頻道可以被所有在此基地台覆蓋範圍下的所有手機共享,但它們的頻寬非常小,只適合少量資料的傳輸,如簡訊。專屬頻道通常擁有較高的頻寬,而且其頻寬可依據傳輸條件及應用程式的品質要求來做調整,因此專屬頻道適合傳輸較大量的資料,如網頁瀏覽或檔案傳輸。
對於 UMTS 系統而言,展頻碼是一個很重要的資源,它的數量是有限的,而較高頻寬頻道所需佔用的展頻碼相較於較少頻寬頻道要來得多。因此當展頻碼不需使用或不需使用到那麼多的時候,適時的釋放資源,將使得網路資源的使用更有效率,並且允許需要展頻碼的使用者可以使用。
頻道交換機制是一種動態交換不同型態傳輸頻道的技術,如在公用頻道與專屬頻道間切換。在以往的研究題目當中,頻道交換通常採取的方式是以臨界點為基準的量測法,藉由量測 RLC 佇列大小來判斷是否進行頻道交換。在本文中,我們提出了一種以量測實際傳輸協定狀況,作為交換基礎的演算法。在模擬結果中,我們發現這個演算法可以動態適應 TCP 的連線狀態,並且使得網路資源得以更有效率的被利用。


In modern 3rd generation (3G) wireless systems such as UMTS, there are two types of channels: common channels and dedicated channels. Common channels are available to all users in the cell, but their bandwidths are very small. They are good for transmit small amount of data, such as short messages. Dedicated channels have more bandwidths and are able to change their transmission rate depending on the transmission conditions and application needs. Therefore, dedicated channels are suitable for transmit large amount of data, such as web browsing and FTP downloads.
Spreading codes are valuable resources in UMTS. The number of available codes is limited in a cell. Higher bandwidth channels require more codes than the lower bandwidth ones. The release of dedicated channels when no longer needed ensures the efficient use of the network resources, and allows other users in the cell to use them.
Channel switching mechanism is the ability to dynamically switch different types of transport channels, such as common channels and dedicated channels, and dynamically change the bandwidths of dedicated channels. In the previous research works, the mechanism is based on a threshold-based measurement of the RLC buffers. In this thesis, we propose a new channel switching algorithm that the switching criteria are determined from the actual conditions of the upper layer protocols, such as TCP. The simulation results show this algorithm is adaptive to TCP’s connection state and the channel resources can be used more efficiently.
