Description

Multicast broadcasting service user amount statistical method and base station
Technical field
The present invention relates to wireless communication field, particularly the technology of the multicast and broadcast in the WiMAX system.
Background technology
Along with the growth of development of Communication Technique and user's request, data service has obtained developing rapidly, and increasing rapidly of data business volume makes people surging to the increasing demand of communication bandwidth, and broadband access shows a huge market to industrial circle.For breaking through the bandwidth bottleneck of Access Network, people have released multiple broadband access technology.
IEEE802.16 is (the Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers; Be called for short " IEEE ") in promulgation in December calendar year 2001, be used for the standard that provides last kilometer WiMAX to insert at metropolitan area network.The IEEE802.16 standard mainly comprises 802.16a, 802.16RevD and three standards of 802.16e.
Micro-wave access to global intercommunication (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access; Be called for short " WiMAX ") be that present industry is to the wireless MAN access technology based on IEEE 802.16 series standards; Its elementary object provides a kind of under some multivendor environment to multiple spot of metropolitan area network, effectively the broadband wireless access means of interoperability.
Specifically, 802.16 series standards have been stipulated the air interface part protocol layer of WiMAX system, mainly comprise physical layer (PHY), and medium access control (Medium Access Control is called for short " MAC ") layer.Wherein, the PHY layer is physically accomplished operations such as the modulation of signal and encoding and decoding, and the MAC layer is mainly accomplished the medium access control function of WiMAX system.
Fig. 1 illustrates the end-to-end reference model of WiMAX.Wherein the R1 interface is a wireless air interface, is mainly defined by IEEE802.16d/e.All the other interfaces are wireline interface.
As scheme visible; WiMAX mainly comprises travelling carriage (Mobile Station; Be called for short " MS ")/subscriber station (Subscribe Station; Abbreviation " SS "), access service network (Access ServiceNetwork is called for short " ASN ") and connectivity serving network (Connectivity Service Network is called for short " CSN ").
Wherein, ASN is defined as the network function set that the wireless access service is provided for the WiMAX user terminal, and ASN has comprised BS and ASN gateway (ASN GateWay is called for short " ASN-GW ") network element, and an ASN possibly shared by a plurality of CSN.
The major function of ASN comprises the function of BS and the function of ASN-GW.Wherein, the function of BS has: provide that BS is connected with the L2 of subscriber station SS/MS, the compression and the encryption of RRM, measurement and the power control and the data of eating dishes without rice or wine.The function of ASN-GW has: for SS/MS authentication function provides agency (proxy) function; Support the network of NSP to find and selection; For SS provides relaying (Relay) function of L3 information, like IP address assignment, RRM.
In addition, can also comprise (non-essential function): the ASN intra; SS paging and location management are like paging controller (Paging Controller is called for short " PC ") functional entity; Tunnel management between the ASN-CSN is equivalent to the external agent (FA) in the mobile IP technology; The vision location registration, anchor SFA functional entity.
CSN is defined as to the WiMAX user terminal IP is provided Connection Service.CSN mainly provides the IP address assignment of following function: SS/MS; Internet inserts, checking, mandate, charging protocol (Authentication, Authorization, Account are called for short " AAA ") agency (proxy) or service (server); Authorization control based on the user; ASN is to the tunnel of CSN, WiMAX user's charging and the clearing between the operator, the tunnel under the roaming condition between the CSN; Switching between the ASN and various WiMAX service (like location-based business, multi-medium multi-packet broadcasting and broadcasting service, IP Multimedia System business).
MS/SS is (moving) terminal, and the user uses this terminal to insert the WiMAX network.
More than WiMAX and network architecture thereof are illustrated, down carry out brief account in the face of Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (Multicast Broadcast Service is called for short " MBS ").
The usually said communication of people is the communication between a node and another one node; But increase along with user's request; And the introducing of multiple medium; The user need carry out the communication of one-to-many or multi-to-multi, puts the multiple spot transmission mode of (Point to Multipoint is called for short " PTM ") thereby produced.In order on mobile network, to support these patterns to realize the one-to-many multicast broadcasting service, in order to effectively utilize mobile network resource, prior art has defined MBS on the basis of WiMAX professional simultaneously.The MBS business is in the mobile network, to provide a data source to send the point-to-multipoint service of data to a plurality of users, realizes that Internet resources are shared, improves utilization rate of network resource, the interface resource of especially eating dishes without rice or wine.The MBS of WiMAX definition can not only realize the classes of messages multicast and the broadcasting of plain text low rate, and can also realize multicast and broadcasting that high-speed multimedia is professional, and this has complied with following mobile data Development Trend undoubtedly.
Two kinds of access modules of MBS business support based on the WiMAX network: single base station is inserted and many base stations are inserted.Under the access module of many base stations, defined the notion of MBS territory (be MBS Zone, identify) with MBS_zoneID; Security Association (MBS Group SecurityAssociation, abbreviation " MBS GSA ") is organized with identical Multicast CID and MBS in all base stations in so-called set that the MBS territory is exactly a base station, MBS territory; Send the content of same MBS Business Stream; The terminal of having registered the MBS service can be through a plurality of base stations reception MBS business datums in this MBS territory, and the terminal that is in Idle state need not rebuild connection when moving in interior span base station, MBS territory; Can be impregnable reception MBS professional, realize the seamless switching that MBS is professional.It is a kind of special case that MBS are inserted in many base stations that MBS is inserted in single base station, and MBS territory scope is defined as in the base station range, and all users of this MBS of reception use same multicast connection identifiers in MBS territory.Prior art does not have detailed description to single base station mode; But under many base station modes, how the base station sends the MBS data, and how the terminal receives the MBS data, and how the base station to notify the transmission of the interested MBS data in terminal, and corresponding description is all arranged.
That eats dishes without rice or wine in the existing system mainly is described below:
At first, broadcasting connects expression (broadcasting CID) goes up the DL-MAP of broadcasting and comprises zero to one or more MBS-MAP-IE, MBS-MAP-IE last each with MBS territory ID as sign;
The second, one MBS-MAP-IE sign eats dishes without rice or wine to go up the physical resource of a MBS-MAP message of broadcasting; If single base station mode is then directly indicated the professional physical resource of MBS;
The three, one MBS-MAP message can comprise zero to one or more MBS-DATA-IE or the MBS-DATA-IE of expansion, the physical parameter between these MBS-DATA-IE can unanimity also can be inconsistent, determine by network side; But a MBS-DATA-IE only has only a physical parameter collection;
Comprise one or more multicasts CID among the four, one MBS-DATA-IE; Why requiring a MBS-DATA-IE to comprise one to a plurality of multicast CID, is that pairing multicast CID indicates in a MBS-DATA-IE the MBS data of identical DIUC from the consideration that reduces the MBS-MAP message-length.On transfer of data; All be placed on a physical resource Burst (burst) to the identical MAC-PDU of DIUC exactly and go up transmission; Though the data of different MBS services have mixed in Burst, can on the MAC layer, distinguish through the multicast CID on the MAC-PDU head.Not every multicast CID is professional corresponding to same MBS, but each multicast CID is corresponding to a MBS business.
Among the five, one the expansion MBS-DATA-IE, a multicast CID also comprises one or more logic channels ID.Use during logic channel ID eats dishes without rice or wine, be used for informing whether the MBS data of the current indication in terminal have its interested content;
In addition, DCD is last can carry zero to one or more MBS territory ID.According to the regulation of agreement 802.16e to content identification Content ID: this group information of Content ID and multicast CID and logic channel ID is corresponding one by one.Content ID is used for identifying upper layer data stream that WiMAX Access Network service flow (SF) carries.
DL-MAP message indicates the physical resource that next MBS-MAP message is sent, but does not distinguish multicast CID and the logic channel ID that comprises in the MBS-MAP message; Indication to next MBS-MAP message physical resource is also arranged among the MBS-DATA-IE; Be different with the indication among the DL-MAP; The MBS-MAP message here is a special MBS-MAP message, wherein necessarily comprises a MBS-DATA-IE and has multicast CID and the logic channel ID consistent with current MBS-DATA-IE.Like this, the terminal just need not to receive one by one DL-MAP message, only need just can know the delivery time of the next MBS-MAP message of being concerned about from current MBS-MAP-IE.
In addition, also have one among the MBS-DATA-IE and change indication,, just directly receive the MBS data if do not change; Otherwise need to resolve new MBS-DATA-IE, with the relevant MBS information of new terminal more.
More than be the main description of existing protocol, do not specifically describe yet also how to add up the professional number of users of MBS in the existing protocol to eating dishes without rice or wine in the MBS system.

Embodiment
For making the object of the invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, the present invention is done to describe in detail further below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
In the present invention, the professional number of users of this MBS is added up before the professional beginning of MBS or in the professional process of playing in the base station, confirms to carry professional ptp mode or the PTM pattern of adopting of this MBS.Because at WiMAX is in the network; The terminal possibly receive MBS under two states professional: Idle state and activated state; Therefore in the present invention; In order accurately to receive the professional number of users of this MBS under each state of statistics, the base station is added up respectively and is received this MBS professional activated state terminal number and Idle state terminal number, and the result who adds up according to both obtains the professional final number of users of this MBS.
Describe in the face of first embodiment of the invention down, this execution mode relates generally to MBS service-user number statistical method.In this execution mode, the professional number of users of MBS mainly contains three statistics opportunitys: the one, and when the MBS initiation of services, the base station statistics is to the number at the professional interested terminal of the current MBS that will send; The 2nd, in the professional process of transmitting of MBS, the base station as required periodic statistics its how many users are arranged in that to receive current MBS professional down; The 3rd, need confirm current should adopt ptp mode or PTM mode carrying to specify MBS professional the time in the base station.
Statistic processes is specifically as shown in Figure 2, and in step 201, the base station is according to the user record of specifying the professional activated state terminal of MBS, and statistics receives the number at the professional activated state terminal of this MBS, and issues the statistics Indication message to the Idle state terminal.
Wherein, the professional user record of MBS is when adding/withdrawing from MBS business or base station shifting at the terminal by the base station, adds or deletes.
Add record and comprise following situation:
-activated state terminal adds MBS under this base station professional, and in adding the professional process of MBS, the professional user record of corresponding MBS is added in the base station;
-having added the professional activated state terminal of MBS to switch under this base station from other base stations, the base station can obtain this terminal and whether add the professional information of certain specific MBS in the switch contexts transmittance process, thereby adds the professional user record of corresponding MBS.
-having added the professional Idle state terminal of said MBS when switching to activated state, the professional user record of corresponding MBS is added in the base station
Deletion record comprises following situation:
-added the professional activated state terminal of MBS initiatively to withdraw from this MBS business, in withdrawing from professional process, the corresponding user record in this terminal in this MBS business of base station deletion;
-added the professional activated state terminal of MBS to switch to other base stations from this base station, in the process of switching, the corresponding user record in this terminal in this MBS business of base station deletion.
-added the professional activated state terminal of said MBS when switching to Idle state, the professional user record of MBS that the base station deletion is corresponding
In addition; Because paging group changes,, also possibly trigger the Idle state terminal and carry out the position renewal perhaps according to other situation that define in the existing protocol; The base station possibly obtain the information whether this Idle state terminal adds appointment MBS business from Anchor PC in position updating process; Thereby according to this information is the corresponding professional interpolation of MBS user record, but this record is irrelevant with the statistics of activated state terminal number in this step to the Idle state terminal.
Then get into step 202, the statistics Indication message is received at the professional interested Idle state of this MBS terminal after, report its MBS business information through modes such as position renewals.
Then get into step 203, the base station obtains the MBS business information at Idle state terminal in its coverage in the position updating process at each terminal, receives the number at the Idle state terminal of specifying the MBS business according to the MBS business information statistics at the terminal that is obtained.
Specifically; For the statistics of Idle state terminal number, different with the activated state terminal are considered Idle state terminal situation such as possibly under the situation of informing base station not, switch; Its record is not exclusively accurate, so the base station is not added up the number at Idle state terminal according to its record.The base station can be through issuing the statistics Indication message, and indicating terminal is initiated more new technological process of position, and the position through the terminal more new technological process obtains its MBS business information, and statistics receives the number of specifying the professional Idle state terminal of MBS.
The method that issues the statistics Indication message mainly contains two kinds:
One, the base station can should the statistics Indication message through paging delivery, the base station can be in coverage all terminals or only specify all terminals of Multicast Channel to issue this statistics Indication message to receiving.
Comprise the MBS service identification in this statistics Indication message, this message can be sent in the paging cycle of base station, and for guaranteeing that the terminal can receive, beep-page message can repeatedly be sent in the professional timing statistics intercycle property of MBS in the base station.If current is before the professional beginning of MBS, to add up, then this message can further include the professional Content ID (content identification) of MBS, initiation of services time, professional range of transmission, information such as business description.After beep-page message is received at the terminal,,, then do not do any response if this MBS business is lost interest in according to the MBS service related information that carries in the message (like the MBS service identification); If it is interested in this MBS business; Then initiate more new technological process of position; Network side obtains this Idle state terminal from Anchor PC and whether adds the information of specifying MBS professional in its position updating process, receive the professional Idle state terminal number of this MBS according to these Information Statistics; In addition, can also comprise a probability indication in the beep-page message, be used for the probability that the control terminal position is upgraded; Be that the terminal is after receiving message; If interested, then press probability and initiate the position renewal, thereby avoid more new technological process of position is initiated at the professional interested terminal of this MBS simultaneously through certain algorithm in this MBS business; The network side system performance is had a negative impact, surpass the load of network side.In practical application, the terminal can be compared with the probability indication that the base station issues through producing random number in the full probability scope; Then initiating the position greater than this probability indication upgrades; Less than then temporarily not initiating, continue to generate random number, compare once more; When indicating, initiate more new technological process of position greater than probability.
Perhaps; No matter during the initiation statistics; Whether the MBS business begins, and all can not carry any information in this MBS business statistics Indication message, or only carries a probability indication; The terminal of receiving this statistics Indication message is only by certain probability initiation location update operations; Network side then obtains the MBS business information at Idle state terminal from Anchor PC in position updating process, it is professional to judge according to the business information at each terminal whether the terminal adds certain specific MBS, and then confirms the professional Idle state terminal number of this MBS of current reception.
Two, the base station can use the multicast and broadcast control channel to issue this statistics Indication message.
The base station can specify the professional or all terminals of MBS to send the statistics Indication message to receiving through to custom-designed multicast and broadcast control channel.Monitor this Indication message by the terminal by the cycle of setting, in measurement period, Indication message can repeatedly be sent by the cycle in the base station, can both receive this message to guarantee all to the professional interested terminal of MBS.Equally, can carry following information in the message: MBS service identification, Content ID, initiation of services time, professional range of transmission, business description, access probability indication etc.
After Indication message is received at the terminal,, then do not do any response if corresponding M BS business is lost interest in; If it is interested; The mode of then upgrading through the position is fed back; Network then obtains the MBS business information at this Idle state terminal from Anchor PC in its position updating process, confirm that its MBS that whether adds appointment is professional, and then judges the number at the Idle state terminal that this MBS of current reception is professional.
In addition; Statistics to the MS of Idle state can also be used following method: for adding the professional Idle state terminal of MBS, when other base stations move to this base station, if this base station also can provide this MBS professional; Then the terminal can be initiated position updating process one time; The base station can obtain this terminal equally and add the information of this MBS business and the Anchor PC address at this terminal, and it is kept in the context of base station through position updating process; So that the base station when carrying out the Idle state terminal number statistics of corresponding MBS business, can obtain the current MBS business information in this terminal according to the Anchor PC address at this terminal of being preserved.Equally, when the terminal when activated state gets into Idle state, corresponding information is also preserved in the base station.
After the base station counts the Idle state terminal number, then get into step 204, the base station will receive the number at the professional activated state terminal of this MBS and the professional total number of users of synthetic this MBS of number at Idle state terminal.
What deserves to be mentioned is,, then can also change as follows above flow process if the purpose of base station this MBS service-user number of statistics is professional in order to select suitable pattern (ptp mode or PTM pattern) to carry this MBS:
Add up for the number of users when the MBS business is set up; The base station can at first be added up and add the professional terminal number of this MBS under the activated state; If this number is greater than " setting up the thresholding that PTM carries "; Then can directly confirm bearing mode, need not again the Idle state terminal to be added up, promptly need not to issue the statistics Indication message; " do not set up the thresholding that PTM carries " if reach this; Then the base station can further issue the statistics Indication message; Triggering terminal is initiated the position and is upgraded, and through inquiring about the record of Anchor PC/LR, confirms that tentatively current wait receives the professional terminal number that is in Idle state of this MBS; This number and the addition of activated state terminal number are drawn a total number of users; When this number of users reached " set up PTM carry thresholding ", the base station should stop statistics, can give and also not have the terminal of feeding back eating dishes without rice or wine to send the Indication message that stops to add up; Send mode is consistent with the send mode of statistics Indication message, but the information of carrying in the message is the statistics that stops certain or all MBS business; If once adding up the number of users of feedback, the base station do not reach " setting up the thresholding that PTM carries "; Base station or ASN can send the statistics Indication message once more so; The user that (not upgrading as initiating the position) fed back in indication as yet continues feedback, and the probability indication in the message can reduce, and upgrades so that the position can be more easily initiated at the terminal; This process can be carried out repeatedly; Reach " setting up the thresholding that PTM carries " up to the statistics of user's number,, then stop to issue the statistics Indication message if number of users never reaches in the timing statistics of setting " setting up the thresholding that PTM carries ".
Add up for the number of users in professional transmission course; The base station can at first be added up equally and add the professional terminal number of this MBS under the activated state; Professional what use is that PTM carries to this MBS if the base station is current; And the activated state terminal number that counts then need not the Idle state terminal to be added up greater than " PTM is to the PTP switching threshold " again, promptly need not to issue the statistics Indication message; If do not reach this " PTM is to PTP switching threshold "; Then the base station can further issue the statistics Indication message; Triggering terminal is initiated the position and is upgraded, and through inquiring about the record of Anchor PC/LR, tentatively confirms the professional terminal number that is in Idle state of this MBS of current reception; This number and the addition of activated state terminal number are drawn a total number of users; If this number of users is greater than " PTM change PTP threshold value ", then the base station should stop statistics, and can give and also not have the terminal of feeding back eating dishes without rice or wine to send the Indication message that stops to add up; Send mode is consistent with the send mode of statistics Indication message, and the information of just carrying in the message is to stop the professional statistics to this MBS; If the number of users of feedback is once added up not greater than " PTM is to the PTP switching threshold " in the base station; Base station or ASN can send the statistics Indication message once more so; Indicate those users that do not have feedback to continue feedback, the access probability indication in the message can reduce, so that the terminal can be initiated more new technological process of position more easily; This process can be carried out repeatedly; Greater than " PTM is to the PTP switching threshold ",, then stop to issue the statistics Indication message up to the number of users that counts if number of users never reaches " PTM is to the PTP switching threshold " in the timing statistics of setting.
Add up for the number of users in professional transmission course; Professional what use is that PTM carries to this MBS if the base station is current; The base station can at first be added up equally and add the professional terminal number of this MBS under the activated state; And the activated state terminal number that counts then need not the Idle state terminal to be added up greater than " PTP is to the PTM switching threshold " again, promptly need not to issue the statistics Indication message; If do not reach this " PTP is to PTM switching threshold "; Then the base station can further issue the statistics Indication message; Triggering terminal is initiated the position and is upgraded, and through inquiring about the record of Anchor PC/LR, tentatively confirms the professional terminal number that is in Idle state of this MBS of current reception; This number and the addition of activated state terminal number are drawn a total number of users; If this number of users is greater than " PTP is to the PTM switching threshold ", then the base station should stop statistics, and can give and also not have the terminal of feeding back eating dishes without rice or wine to send the Indication message that stops to add up; Send mode is consistent with the send mode of statistics Indication message, and the information of just carrying in the message is to stop the professional statistics to this MBS; If the number of users of feedback is once added up not greater than " PTP is to the PTM switching threshold " in the base station; Base station or ASN can send the statistics Indication message once more so; Indicate those users that do not have feedback to continue feedback, the access probability indication in the message can reduce, so that the terminal can be initiated more new technological process of position more easily; This process can be carried out repeatedly; Greater than " PTP is to the PTM switching threshold ",, then stop to issue the statistics Indication message up to the number of users that counts if number of users never reaches " PTP is to the PTM switching threshold " in the timing statistics of setting.
Usually, for fear of producing ping-pong, " PTP is to the PTM switching threshold " often is arranged to more than or equal to " PTM is to the PTP switching threshold ", generally requires greater than certain value.
