Description

Channel multicast address generating method and transmission method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, more specifically, relate to a kind of channel multicast address generating method and transmission method, be used at mobile communications network (Long term Evolution/SystemArchitecture Evolution, LTE/SAE) under the framework, (Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service in the time of MBMS), produces the multicast path that channel multicast address and transmission channels multicast address are set up group broadcasting broadcast business data to insert the multimedia multicast broadcasting service.
Background technology
In order to effectively utilize mobile network resource, existing mobile communication system has proposed to use the thought of multicast/broadcast transport service, i.e. MBMS.MBMS provides the point-to-multipoint service of a data source to a plurality of users send data in the mobile network, realize that Internet resources are shared, raising utilization rate of network resource, the interface resource of especially eating dishes without rice or wine.
IP-based mechanism and the method for setting up multicast and broadcasting service and transmission system that world standardization has been organized ietf definition.If basic ideas are meant the user and want to receive the multicast IP data message, need before the message distribution, add multicast group, multicast group is tree, is made up of a series of routers, and the top is multicast source, also is data source, and the bottom is each user.Multicast source is dealt into next stage with data, and all add the data gateway or the router of multicast group, and router continues data to be forwarded to the gateway or the router of next stage again, up to the user class of lowermost end.
The method that the user adds multicast group is to use multicast address to finish by the JOIN process.The basic ideas of JOIN process are: each multicast service (in a certain period a certain zone) all has a unique multicast address, this multicast address is distributed by multicast source, the user is that parameter is passed through IGMP (Internet igmpinternet with this address, IPv4) or MLD (multicast listener is found agreement, IPv6) two kinds of signaling applications add multicast group, and IGMP request sent to the router that the user links to each other, multicast router in the IP network sends to the router that links to each other with multicast source according to configuration information or routing iinformation with this user's JOIN request hop-by-hop, and the interface that will link to each other with the previous dive router joins in the multicast distribution tree, just the descending multicast distribution node of the multicast router of previous dive as oneself, afterwards, data source when distribution, have only the node of the multicast router of having set up corresponding multicast distribution tree just can receive and with the transmitting multicast data received to descending multicast router node.
The notion that a convergent point is arranged in the multicasting technology, the meaning are that data message all will be by this node in communication process.Thereby can finish controlled function such as statistics to data, charging at this node.Certain network element becomes convergent point if desired, can finish by configuration relevant parameter and routing algorithm.
The JOIN request is initiated by the user in the path of multicast pattern, dynamically sets up.And generally realize by static configuration in the path of broadcast mode, does not need the user to add multicast group before each distribution of services.But there is the problem of new business expansion in static configuration, and therefore for broadcasting service, the mode that can adopt multicast to set up carrying provides carrying for broadcasting service.
No matter be multicast pattern, or broadcast mode, before professional the transmission, all have a session to begin request message and be delivered to each node network element the multicast path, distribute relevant resource to notify each network element from service source.Session begins request message and comprises multicast address information, the contents such as time that session label information, business begin to send; Network element receives session and begins request message, can return a session and begin response message, and message is received in expression.
Session begins the message that message belongs to the signaling aspect, and the foundation of signaling paths static configuration is often finished.The business datum content belongs to the message of user level, and the foundation of data path can be the mode of building IP tunnel by signaling, also can be to finish by the IETF multicast protocol.
Session begins to have in the request message 2 addresses, and one is the multicast address of professional usefulness, is distributed by multicast source (being service source), and the sign Session ID that each MBMS business has a professional multicast address and service conversation is corresponding one by one; Another is a particular source, and the original idea of this address is the IP address that expression is sent to the particular source of multicast group, thereby has determined that multicast source is which service source (under a lot of situation of service source).By multicast source self source address and multicast address sent to its descending multicast node gateway (as MBMS GW), initiate multicast request to multicast source by the node gateway again, just can set up descending node gateway to the multicast channel between the multicast source node.
Session begins to have in the request message service area identification parameter, represents this session in which geographic area to play.The network element (being the ENodeB among Fig. 1) that service area identifies pairing concrete wireless coverage is configured planning by Virtual network operator.
In order to set up the MBMS service path faster, reduce the waste of resource simultaneously, standardization body has developed the network architecture based on the MBMS of the evolution of next generation network framework (EMBMS), and some basic implementations.The network architecture as shown in Figure 1.
BM-SC (Broadcast/Multicast Service Center) 102, i.e. multicast broadcast service center, as the distribution of the control of multicast broadcast service session, subscriber authorisation, safe key, and the data source point of EMBMS business.BM-SC is connected with content service provider/multicast broadcast source (Content Provider/Multicast Broadcast Source), finishes gathering of data.
MBMS GW:MBMS gateway (Gateway, GW) 104, be divided into two parts in logic, one is the signaling plane processing section, handle signalings such as conversation message by the Gmb interface shown in the figure from BM-SC, also can with the signaling of MCE connection processing data sync aspect; Another is user's face processing section of data, receives from the data of BM-SC and is transmitted to the descending router of multicast group.
MCE (Multi-Cell/Multicast Coordination Entity) 106, as wireless side chain of command functional entity, be responsible for the chain of command signaling process, the data sync function of MBSFN (MBMS SingleFrequency Network) and Radio Resource coordination etc.
ENodeB (Evolved NodeB) 108, the wireless access network of evolution is follow-on wireless access network, and higher up-downgoing speed can be provided, lower transmission delay and reliable more wireless transmission.
Basic ideas based on EMBMS business realizing mechanism are: the conversation message by the signaling aspect provides the needed information of user level of setting up (as multicast address etc.), and the foundation of the passage of user level need realize by the IP multicast protocol.Yet, fail at present to solve and set up the needed multicast address of user level passage and how can also lessly fast pass to access network base stations ENodeB lavishly.
