Description

The method and system of a kind of definite use multicast/broadcast business hours
Technical field
The present invention relates to moving communicating field, relate in particular to a kind of definite use multicast/broadcast business (MBMS, Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service) time method and system.
Background technology
Multicast/broadcast business (MBMS) is to transmit the business of data by what global standardsization organized that third generation partner plan (3GPP) proposes to a plurality of users by a data source.Broadcasting service is to point to the business that all users transmit data.Under broadcast mode, the user just need not register can receive broadcast data.Multicast service then is the business that transmits data separately to the user who has added multicast group.Usually, multicast group be one group to certain content users interest.Under multicast pattern, have only user just can receive multicast packet through registration.
By the business characteristic of MBMS as can be seen, MBMS can pass through a share transmission link, and identical data are sent to a plurality of users simultaneously, and effectively conserve network resources comprises core net and access network resources, especially air interface resource.
MBMS can be based on Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (WCDMA, Wideband Code Division MultipleAccess)/global system for mobile communications (GSM, Global System for Mobile communication) Packet Based Network realizes, by increasing some new functional entitys such as broadcast multicast service center (BM-SC:Broadcast Multicast Service Centre), and to existing packet domain functional entity such as GPRS serving GPRS support node (SGSN, Serving GPRS Supporting Node), GGSN (GGSN, Gateway GPRS Supporting Node), Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN, UniversalTerrestril Radio Access Network) radio network controller (RNC in, Radio NetworkController) or GSM EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN, GSM/EDGE Radio AccessNetwork) base station controller (BSC in, Base Station Controller) and subscriber equipment (UE, User Equipment) etc. increase the function of supporting MBMS, define new logic shared channel simultaneously and share to realize interface-free resources.The schematic network structure of MBMS as shown in Figure 1.
BM-SC160 is the mobile network functional entity that increases newly, is content provider's inlet, be used for authorizing and initiate the MBMS bearer service in core net, and plan transmits the MBMS content on schedule.Its function comprises: (1) is to authentication, mandate and the charging of third party content supplier; (2) provide MBMS transmission relevant parameter, as QoS, multicast and broadcast zone; Initiate and stop the MBMS transfer resource; (3) receive and transmit the MBMS content from external data source, arrange the MBMS session to transmit and inform user, session re-transmission etc.; (4) service statement comprises media description, conversation description such as multicast service identifier, address, delivery time etc.
BM-SC160 is connected communication with GGSN150, GGSN150 sets up or the release user plane bearer for the transmission of broadcasting or multicast service according to the notice request of BM-SC160 as the IP multicast service node of MBMS data; Receive the IP multicast content that BM-SC160 sends, in addition, also have functions such as message informing, metering data mobile phone and QoS (QoS) negotiation.
SGSN140 is used for the user is carried out network control, supports MBMS user's moving between SGSN, carries out the multicast service charging, comprises back paying and prepaid user, and sets up or release Iu and Gn carrying according to the notice that GGSN150 sends.
UTRAN120 in the system configuration of WCDMA is made up of one or more RNSs (RNS, Radio Network System).A RNS is made up of a RNC121 and one or more base station 122 (Node B).GERAN130 in the system configuration of GSM is made up of one or more base station sub-systems (BSS, Base Station System).A BSS is made up of a BSC131 and one or more base transceiver station 132 (BTS, Base Transceiver Station).
Wherein RNC121/BSC131 transmits the MBMS data at predetermined multicast or broadcast service zone; Under multicast pattern, select suitable radio bearer according to current service number of users and usable radio resources in the sub-district, promptly select shared channel or dedicated channel to realize that point is to multiple spot (P-T-M, Point-to-Multipoint) or point-to-point (P-T-P, data mode Point-to-Point); Support core net to initiate and stop MBMS to transmit; Support MBMS user's moving between RNC; Support MBMS transmission service statement, paging information, MBMS concurrent service, carry out audio call and messaging service in the time of as reception MBMS video content.
UE110 supports to add/leave (join/leave) MBMS business; The MBMS safety related functions is as encrypting and consistency protection content; Receive MBMS service statement, paging information or support synchronous service; Whether decision ignores the MBMS session according to the MBMS session identification.UE has two kinds of basic operational modes: idle pulley and connection mode.The beginning that powers on, UE just rests on the idle IDLE state under the idle pulley, supports periodic location update mechanism.UE is under connection mode, one has 4 kinds of states, is respectively sub-district _ forward access channel (CELL_FACH) state, cell _ paging channel (CELL_PCH) state, user's registration _ paging channel (URA_PCH) state and CELL _ DCH (CELL_DCH) state.Wherein CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH state are supported periodic cell update mechanism; The support of URA_PCH state is UTRAN registration area (URA, UTRAN Registration Area) update mechanism periodically; The CELL_DCH state is supported the air interface synchronization mechanism.
At present, the workflow of MBMS multicast comprises following eight stages:
1, the service statement stage: the essential information that the MBMS business that is about to transmission is provided to UE.
2, registration phase: set up the contact between UE and the MBMS service supplier.
3, UE adds the stage: based on the business information that the service statement stage provides, UE becomes the multicast member of a MBMS business by the operation in this stage.After UE added, UE need pay for the MBMS that receives is professional, so this stages operating needs to carry out authentication between UE and the MBMS service supplier.
4, session incipient stage: UTRAN is a MBMS traffic assignments resource, sets up service bearer, and BM-SC is ready for sending the MBMS business.
5, MBMS notification phase: notice UE carries out the preparation that receives the MBMS business.
6, data transfer phase: the MBMS business sends to UE.Under multicast pattern, the data of MBMS business are encrypted.
7, the professional transmission of conversation end stage: MBMS finished, and discharges and transmits the resource that the MBMS business is distributed.
8, UE leaves the stage: the registration of UE cancellation multicast service no longer receives this multicast service.
Therefore, if core net will determine to use the time of MBMS business, under the standard multicast pattern, can realize according to adding/leave mechanism that UE supports, promptly note the time that user terminal adds this business in the UE adding stage, equally, note user terminal in the stage of leaving and leave this professional time, it adds the time of using this business with regard to the user who is with the time difference of leaving.
But, under the standard multicast pattern, the adding that UE supports/leave process need UE and core net is repeatedly finished alternately.With the adition process is example, and at first the service statement that provides according to core net of UE is initiated one to core net and added the session service request, and after the core net response, UE becomes a member of this MBMS business, the data that can receiving group send.The reciprocal process of UE and core net as shown in Figure 2.
Specifically with the explanation of the situation of UTRAN, under the standard multicast pattern, core net determines that the UE joining day need carry out following steps:
Step 201:UE is by carrying out the PDP context activation interacting message between UTRAN and the SGSN.
Step 202:UE sends to GGSN by UTRAN and SGSN and adds IGMP (IMGP) request.
Step 203:GGSN sends the MBMS authentication request to BM-SC.
Step 204:BM-SC sends the MBMS Authentication Response to GGSN.
Step 205:GGSN sends the MBMS notice request to SGSN.
Step 206:SGSN sends to UE by UTRAN and activates the MBMS context request.
Step 207:UE sends request MBMS context activation request message by UTRAN to SGSN.
Step 208:SGSN sends the MBMS push-notification-answer to GGSN.
Step 209:UE is by realizing safety function between UTRAN and the SGSN.
Step 210:SGSN sends to GGSN and creates the MBMS context request.
Step 211:GGSN sends the MBMS authentication request to BM-SC.
Step 212:BM-SC sends the MBMS Authentication Response to GGSN.
Step 213:GGSN sends register requirement to BM-SC.
BM-SC will receive the time of the time point of MBMS register requirement as UE adding MBMS business.
Step 214:BM-SC sends MBMS registration response to GGSN.
Step 215:GGSN sends to SGSN and creates the MBMS context response.
Step 216:SGSN sends the MBMS register requirement to GGSN.
Step 217:GGSN sends MBMS registration response to SGSN.
Step 218:SGSN sends to UE and accepts the MBMS context activation.
Equally, when user terminal leaves, UE will initiate one to network equally and leave conversation request, finish this MBMS business, thereby, need repeatedly finish the process of leaving alternately by UE and core net equally, the time point that BM-SC will receive the request of MBMS cancel register leaves the time of MBMS business as UE, and can determine the time of using the MBMS business according to the time difference of UE adding with time departure.As can be seen, adopt the method for MBMS standard multicast, UE waits for that the response delay of core net is long, therefore brings the bigger access of UE/channel switch time delay.
The scheme of the another kind of MBMS of realization is that MBMS strengthens broadcasting scheme, its basic thought is to introduce UE counting (COUNTING) mechanism on MBMS broadcasting scheme basis, the radio bearer mode of MBMS is selected in realization flexibly according to number of users, promptly when the user of receiving multicast data in the sub-district is very few, can select point-to-point (P-T-P, Point-to-Point) radio bearer mode sends data, saves the power resource of system.
In this enhancing broadcasting scheme, the performance of wireless side RNC improves greatly, simultaneously because of mutual with core net, so UE access/channel change delay reduces greatly.But, in this enhancing broadcasting scheme, the process that user terminal adds/leaves is the same with broadcasting, do not need to register, add and leave the stage, user terminal only needs just to switch to correlated channels simply according to the service statement that core net provides and receives broadcast data, therefore, do not need to notify the adding of core net user terminal/leave.Core net can't be determined the service time of MBMS business, can't realize according to duration based accounting, also can't accurately grasp operation situations such as the development condition of business, user's program request duration, peak traffic times.Advertiser also can't obtain audience rating data accurately, and above defective all is quite disadvantageous to carrying out of business.
In sum, present technology can't be determined to use the MBMS business hours quickly and easily, is unfavorable for developing MBMS service.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, the embodiment of the invention provides the method for a kind of definite use MBMS business hours, can determine to use the time of MBMS business quickly and easily.

Step 509:BM-SC sends UE to RNC and adds the response of MBMS service message.
By as can be seen to the embodiment of the invention one, two and three step analysis, UE is when adding the MBMS business, send the message that comprises user terminal identification and MBMS service identification information by RNC to BM-SC, therefore, core net can be determined the time that UE adds the MBMS business.
If with respect to the standard multicast business, then avoided the repeatedly reciprocal process between UE and the core net, solved UE access/channel and switched the delay problem that brings, system's time delay of introducing is less, therefore, can determine the time that UE adds the MBMS business quickly and easily.Below for determining the specific embodiment of UE time departure.
Fig. 6 is the process flow diagram that UE normally leaves the MBMS business under the 4th embodiment of the invention idle condition.
Step 601:UE leaves the MBMS business.
Step 602:UE sends the RRC connection request to RNC, comprises the information that user terminal leaves the MBMS business in the message.
Present embodiment adopts the mode of revising cell in the RRC connection request to realize, just comprise the UE identification information in the sign of the initial UE in the RRC connection request message cell, MBMS selects to comprise in the professional cell MBMS service identification information, and UE action identification information is included in the MBMS UE action cell in the RRC connection request message, and its value is made as 00.
Step 603:RNC extracts user terminal identification and MBMS service identification information from the message of receiving.
Step 604:RNC sends the RRC connection to UE and sets up message.
Step 605:UE is to RNC response RRC connection setup complete message.
Step 606:RNC sends UE to BM-SC and leaves the MBMS service message.
In the present embodiment, BM-SC is according to receiving UE sign, MBMS service identification and UE action identification, determine the user with UE sign and leave the MBMS business with this MBMS service identification, the time that BM-SC will receive this message is left the time of this MBMS business as this UE.
Step 607:RNC sends to UE and discharges the RRC connection message.
Step 608:BM-SC sends UE to RNC and leaves the response of MBMS service message.
In the present embodiment, BM-SC can leave the departure motion that the MBMS service message is determined UE according to UE, thereby obtains the time that UE leaves the MBMS business.BM-SC also can be according to store M BMS service identification information, the service identification information that receives by contrast and the service identification information of storage, when service identification by having to nothing, represent that then UE leaves this MBMS business, will receive the time point of this message as time departure.Determine to use this MBMS business hours according to adding with the time difference of leaving this MBMS business.
By above inventive embodiments as can be seen, use the MBMS business hours owing to can determine, embodiments of the invention can be realized the MBMS business by functions such as duration charging and statistics operation situations, thereby, can better get developing MBMS service.
When UE power down takes place, runs off abnormal conditions such as service area, can not carry out normal MBMS business and leave process this moment, at this situation, system need increase the keep-alive process, judges that can UE normally leave.Following mask body illustrates how to judge that can UE normally leave with the process of UE in different conditions realization keep-alive.
For the UE under the IDLE state; utilize its periodic location update mechanism; after business begins; UE initiates the RRC connection of periodic location update and sets up the MBMS business information that can have UE in the request message; this moment, RNC initiated the user's keep-alive process to BM-SC; if BM-SC can receive periodic keep-alive message; think that current UE is working properly; can normally leave; when continuing a position, BM-SC also do not receive keep-alive message after the update cycle; then think and can not normally leave the UE operation irregularity.Fig. 7 is the keep-alive process flow diagram of UE under the fifth embodiment of the invention IDLE state.
Step 701: periodic location update is initiated in the UE decision under the idle condition.
Step 702:UE connects the request of foundation to the RRC that RNC sends the periodic location registration, has the MBMS service identification information in the message.
In the present embodiment, the RRC that RNC can periodically receive the periodic location registration that UE sends connects the request of foundation, and then to judge the UE operation normal for RNC.
Step 703:RNC sends the professional keep-alive message of UE MBMS to BM-SC.
In the embodiment of the invention, BM-SC determines the user and can normally leave according to the periodicity keep-alive message that RNC sends.
Under the CELL_DCH state, utilize the synchronization mechanism of its air interface, carry out the keep-alive process.
Fig. 8 is the keep-alive process flow diagram of UE under the sixth embodiment of the invention CELL_DCH state.For the user under the CELL_DCH state, utilize the synchronization mechanism of its air interface, when air interface just often synchronously, think that the user is normal.
Step 801:UE is in the CELL_DCH state.
Air interface synchronizing process between step 802:UE and the Access Network.
Whether step 803:RNC is unusual by air interface connection judgment user, initiates the keep-alive process.
Can in the present embodiment, RNC initiates the keep-alive process, promptly by judging whether air interface is synchronous, judge UE and move normally.Suppose in the present embodiment, judge the UE operation irregularity, then do not send keep-alive message.
It is overtime that BM-SC judges the keep-alive message that RNC sends; determining the user can not normally leave; carry out abnormality processing; such as; BM-SC is determined that UE can not normally leave the time point of MBMS business or BM-SC is received the time point of keep-alive message last time as time departure; perhaps do not write down the adding of this user terminal and leave time of MBMS business, or other processing mode of selecting by operator.
For the UE of CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, URA_PCH state, utilize its cyclic cell and periodicity URA update mechanism.When the user periodically updates just often, think that UE is normal.Here do not give unnecessary details one by one.
Present embodiment has further proposed the keepalive mechanism at abnormal user determining on the basis of using the MBMS business hours, helps the robustness and the stability of enhanced system.
Fig. 9 is the system schematic of seventh embodiment of the invention, comprises UE910, RNC920 and BM-SC930.
When user terminal added and leave the MBMS business, the message that UE910 will carry UE sign and MBMS service identification information sent to BM-SC930 by RNC920 respectively;
Then, RNC920 gives BM-SC930 with the forwards of carrying UE sign and MBMS service identification information that UE910 sends;
BM-SC930 is according to the message of carrying UE sign and MBMS service identification information that receives, the time of determining to have the UE910 adding of this UE sign and leaving MBMS business, UE910 is added and the time of the time difference of leaving as this MBMS business of use with this service identification.
Wherein, BM-SC930 can comprise memory cell 933, action judging unit 931 and time determining unit 932;
