Abstract

A method for storing status information of a transceiver in a Base Station includes the steps of receiving a transceiver status message from a transceiver interface processor and retrieving a system type from Program Load Data (PLD). A value of i as an identifier of a sector and a value of j as an identifier of a CDMA channel are then determined according to each system type and a status information table of a transceiver in a base station is created such that each value of [i, j] derived from the determination step serves as a key to the created table.

Claims

1. A method for storing status information of a transceiver in a base station comprising the steps of:

receiving a transceiver status message from a transceiver interface processor;

retrieving system type information from Program Load Data (PLD);

finding a value of i as a sector identifier and a value of j as a CDMA channel identifier according to each system type; and

creating a status information table of the transceiver in the base station such that a value of [i,j] derived from said finding step serves as a key to the created table.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said system type is one selected from a group consisting of type1, type2, type3 and type4.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said steps for finding the values of i and j and for creating the status information table of the transceiver in the base station for a type1 system further comprise the steps of:

comparing a value of a transceiver interface processor identifier (TIP_ID) with a first specific value;

setting the sector identifier i in response to said comparison;

comparing a transceiver identification value (XCVR_ID) with a second specific value;

setting the CDMA channel identifier j in response to said comparison; and

storing the status information to said location of [i, j].

4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the first specific value compared to said TIP_ID value is 3.

5. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein said step of setting the sector identifier i further comprises the steps of:

setting i to the value of TIP_ID when TIP_ID is less than said first specific value; and

setting i to a value equal to TIP_ID divided by a maximum number of sectors in the base station when TIP_ID is greater than said first specific value.

6. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein said second specific value compared to said value of XCVR_ID is 0.

7. The method as claimed in claim 3, said step of setting j further comprises the steps of:

setting j equal to 8 when the value of XCVR_ID is equal to the second specific value;

setting j to a value equal to (XCVR_ID−

1) when the value of XCVR_ID does not equal the second specific value.

8. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said steps for finding the values of i and j and for creating the status information table of the transceiver in the base station for a type2 system further comprise the steps of:

setting said identifiers, i and j respectively to a specific value; and

storing the status information to said location of [i, j].

9. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the specific values given to said identifiers, i and j are zeroes respectively.

10. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said steps for finding the values of i and j and for creating the status information table of the transceiver in the base station for a type3 system further comprise the steps of:

comparing a value of TIP_ID with a first specific value;

comparing a value of XCVR_ID with a second specific value;

setting said identifiers, i and j respectively, in response to said steps of comparing; and

storing the status information to said location of [i, j].

11. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein said first specific value compared to said value of TIP_ID is 0.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein said second specific value compared to said value of XCVR_ID is 3.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising the step of returning to said step of receiving the transceiver status message from the transceiver interface processor when the value of TIP_ID is not equal to the first specific value.

14. The method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising the step of returning to said step of receiving the transceiver status message from the transceiver interface processor when the value of XCVR_ID is equal to or greater than said second specific value.

15. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein said step of setting sets the sector identifier i to zero when TIP_ID equals said first specific value, and sets the CDMA channel identifier j to the value of XCVR_ID when XCVR_ID is less than said second specific value.

16. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said steps for finding the values of i and j and for creating status information table of the transceiver in the base station for a type4 system further comprise the steps of:

comparing a value of TIP_ID with a first specific value;

comparing a value of XCVR_ID with a second specific value when the value of TIP_ID does not equal said first specific value;

setting identifiers i and j, respectively in response to said steps of comparing; and

storing the status information to said location of [i, j].

17. The method as claimed in claim 16, wherein said first specific value compared to said value of TIP_ID is 0.

18. The method as claimed in claim 16, wherein said second specific value compared to said value of XCVR_ID is 3.

19. The method as claimed in claim 16, further comprising the step of setting i equal to XCVR_ID and j equal to 0 when the value of TIP_ID is equal to said first specific value.

20. The method as claimed in claim 16, further comprising the step of setting identifier i equal to XCVR_ID and identifier j to (TIP_ID*2−

1) when the value of XCVR_ID is less than the said second specific value.

21. The method as claimed in claim 16, further comprising the steps of setting identifier i equal to the value of XCVR_ID/3 and setting identifier j equal to TIP_ID*2 when the value of XCVR_ID is greater than said second specific value.
