S402, base station S_BS send to aaa server by the authentication information of terminal MS _ B by GW, with the identifying procedure that networks; The authentication information of above-mentioned terminal MS _ B can be terminal iidentification (for example: the MAC Address of terminal), account etc.
S404, aaa server authenticate terminal MS _ B, in authentication, pass through rear execution S404;
S404, aaa server send to the pre-stored traffic flow parameters corresponding to this terminal MS _ B the corresponding GW being connected with aaa server; Described traffic flow parameters comprises: the class of business that terminal is selected, be for example the common business of eating dishes without rice or wine or local Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service, the qos parameter that terminal is specified when opening an account, MBS Zone (as shown in Fig. 3 302) that terminal is specified when opening an account, grader (Classifier) rule etc.
Grader, it is a group categories rule of predetermining, and by it, business is sorted out, and different interface-free resources dispatch service is provided.Such as, the business that can to set destination interface and be 80 service web services be normal priority.
S405, GW receive the traffic flow parameters of the terminal of aaa server transmission, and the class of business comprising according to described traffic flow parameters, judge in described class of business whether comprise local Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service, if had, carry out subsequent step;
S406, when GW finds that the class of business comprising in the traffic flow parameters of the terminal receiving has local Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service, this GW sets up the unicast data passage (Datapath_u) between the S_BS of base station, as shown in Fig. 3 303;
A multi-case data passage (Datapath_m) is set up in all base stations in the MBS Zone that S407a-S407b:GW also requires to rent with user, as shown in Fig. 3 304;
It should be noted that, above-mentioned local Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service has region limits, and MBS Zone generally fixes, can not dynamic negotiation, and its service range comprises the geographic area that the multiple base stations in MBS Zone cover.
The benefit of multi-case data passage is, GW is as long as send once, and all BS in MBS Zone can receive, and this can save bandwidth greatly.
S408, GW safeguard the mapping relations between Datapath_u and Datapath_m, to all data of coming from Datapath_u all can be carried out to multicast by Datapath_m;
It should be noted that, when MS_B opens an account, indicate the logical described local Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service of oneself looking on the bright side of things.Like this, when MS_B networks, on the one hand, GW issues unicast service stream parameter to S_BS, and with the business of setting up Datapath_u between S_BS and transmit MS_B and send to by eating dishes without rice or wine S_BS; On the other hand, multiple BS in GW meeting and MBS Zone set up Datapath_m, with by the MS_B business tine sending from Datapath_u, by Datapath_m, send to the multiple BS in MBS Zone, allow these BS in its overlay area, broadcast above-mentioned business tine.Therefore Datapath_u and Datapath_m are actually one-to-one relationship, GW need safeguard this corresponding table.
S409, when terminal MS _ B need to carry out service broadcast in this locality, terminal MS _ B sends to S_BS by related service data; For example can send to S_BS by the mode of clean culture;
It should be noted that, when MS_B opens an account, be just scheduled to each the Business Stream that it will use.Wherein there is one or more specific Business Stream can be used for sending local Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service, when MS_B need to carry out service broadcast in this locality, adopt above-mentioned one or more specific Business Stream to carry corresponding business datum.
When MS_B is used above-mentioned one or more specific Business Stream to send business datum, GW knows that the data that this Business Stream is carried send to the BS in MBS Zone automatically, and this solves (as described in S408) by the mapping between Datapath_u and Datapath_m.
S410, S_BS send to GW by Datapath_u by this business datum;
S411a-S411b, GW from Datapath_u receives business datum, by Datapath_m by this business datum multicast all BS to MBS Zone;
All BS of S412a-S412b, MBS Zone are broadcast to above-mentioned business datum all user terminals in overlay area again.
Alternatively, when user wants the region of covering larger, the multiple BS under a GW can not meet covering demand.Now, business datum can be sent to another GW (as shown in Figure 3), to broadcast by the BS being connected with this GW, to expand the coverage of local Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service.
