Embodiment
The invention provides a kind of professional user device quantity purpose method of online reception MBMS of adding up; Its core concept is: can accomplish statistics through broadcast and statistical message between wireless network control apparatus (comprising the equipment of accomplishing corresponding function in RNC or other system) and the online user's equipment; And the content of statistical message is more brief; Only comprise professional relevant information unit, thereby can save the required byte of message transfer, improve resource utilization with MBMS.Wireless network control apparatus can also return the statistics acknowledge message to online user's equipment after receiving statistical message, the broadcast message transmission means and the interacting message mode of wireless network control apparatus and subscriber equipment are as depicted in figs. 1 and 2.
As shown in Figure 3, the method for the UE number that the online reception of present embodiment statistics MBMS is professional may further comprise the steps:
Step 301, wireless network control apparatus sends broadcast, needs the MBMS of statistics professional in the MBMS business that indication has been sent;
Wireless network control apparatus sends MBMS access message (MBMSAccess Information) on the MBMS control channel, indicate the multimedia broadcasting and the multicast service that need statistics.The message that wireless network control apparatus sends is not limited to the MBMS access message, also can be other message, so long as the forms of broadcasting, subscriber equipment can receive just passable.
Step 302 after subscriber equipment is received broadcast, judges whether the MBMS business that self receives is to need the MBMS of statistics professional, if, carry out next step, otherwise, do not deal with, forward step 304 to;
Step 303, subscriber equipment sends statistical message to wireless network control apparatus;
The multimedia broadcasting and the multicast service of the need statistics that the indication subscriber equipment has received in the above-mentioned statistical message.
As connecting between subscriber equipment and the wireless network control apparatus, then subscriber equipment sends statistical message through dedicated channel, as also not connecting, then directly sends statistical message through uplink common channel; And,, then in statistical message, need carry customer equipment identification if wireless network control apparatus does not also obtain the sign of subscriber equipment.
Particularly, when subscriber equipment is in the CELL_IDLE state, sends statistical message through common signal channel, and carry the initial user device identification; Send statistical message through dedicated channel when being in CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state, and carry the customer equipment identification of system assignment; When being in the CELL_DCH state, send statistical message, need not to carry customer equipment identification through dedicated channel.
Statistical message only comprises the information unit relevant with MBMS; Customer equipment identification by sign, initial user device identification or the system assignment of type of message, the MBMS that received is formed; Wherein type of message and multimedia broadcasting and multicast service identifier are essential; The initial user device identification is filled in when subscriber equipment is in idle condition, and the customer equipment identification of system assignment is filled in when subscriber equipment is in connected state.Can also comprise in the professional receiving time information of common signal channel received signal quality metrical information unit or the MBMS unit one or both in the statistical message.
If wireless network control apparatus does not also obtain the sign of said subscriber equipment, then subscriber equipment needs in the statistical message of sending, to carry the sign of oneself.
Step 304, wireless network control apparatus is according to the indication information in the statistical message of receiving, the number of users of adding up each multimedia broadcasting that need add up and multicast service respectively.
After wireless network control apparatus is received statistical message; Can also return a statistics acknowledge message to subscriber equipment through dedicated channel or the common down channel of having set up; As comprising customer equipment identification in the statistical message, then in the corresponding statistics acknowledge message of this statistical message, also carry customer equipment identification.
The statistics acknowledge message only comprises the information unit relevant with multimedia broadcasting and multicast; Customer equipment identification by type of message, initial user device identification or system assignment is formed; Wherein type of message is essential; The initial user device identification is filled in when subscriber equipment is in idle condition, and the customer equipment identification of system assignment is filled in when subscriber equipment is in connected state.
Step 305, wireless network control apparatus sends to core net to professional with the corresponding online user's facility information of the MBMS of each statistics.
Above-mentioned wireless network control apparatus is the Node B of radio network controller (RNC, Radio NetworkControl) or evolution.
Said method is applicable to the 3G system architecture, but is not limited to the 3G system.The state of wireless network control apparatus and UE all is based on the f of 3G system framework in the said method, if in LTE or other following evolution scheme, the state of UE changes, and the sign of UE also can be along with change, and key is that network side can be discerned UE and statistics UE information.Therefore the state of UE and the sign corresponding relation of UE are not necessarily to be fixed into existing mode.And the sign of UE also can be according to the requirement of network side, and UE provides the respective identification of UE in message.
As shown in Figure 4, the treatment step of adding up UE in the method for the professional UE number of online reception MBMS is following:
Step 401, UE go up to monitor MBMS access message (MBMS Access Information) at MBMS control channel (MCCH), obtains the MBMS service identification that need carry out user's statistics in this message and other network side and requires other information of reporting;
Step 402 after online user's equipment is received broadcast, judges whether the MBMS business that self receives is to need the MBMS of statistics professional, if, carry out next step, otherwise, do not deal with;
Step 403, subscriber equipment sends statistical message to wireless network control apparatus.
As shown in Figure 5, the treatment step of adding up wireless network control apparatus in the method for the professional UE number of online reception MBMS is following:
Step 501, wireless network control apparatus go up at MBMS control channel (MCCH) and send MBMS access message (MBMS Access Information), and indication need be carried out the MBMS service identification of user's statistics in this message;
Step 502 after wireless network control apparatus is received statistical message, is returned a statistics acknowledge message to subscriber equipment;
Step 503, wireless network control apparatus are added up online user's number of each multimedia broadcasting that need add up and multicast service respectively according to the indication information in the statistical message of receiving;
Step 504, wireless network control apparatus sends to core net to relevant statistical information.
Certainly; The present invention also can have other various embodiments; Under the situation that does not deviate from spirit of the present invention and essence thereof; Those of ordinary skill in the art work as can make various corresponding changes and distortion according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection range of the appended claim of the present invention.
