Abstract

The invention discloses a method for realizing the synchronization of contents. During the application of the method, when a client terminal detects the contents are out of synchronization, a self-demanding timing relation regulation volume is transmitted to a server side; the server side informs other client terminals in the content synchronization area in which the client terminal is positioned to transmit self-demanding timing relation regulation volumes after receiving the timing relation regulation volume. The server side determines the new timing relations according to the received timing relation regulation volumes transmitted by each client terminal and feeds back the new timing relations to the client terminals. The invention also discloses client terminal equipment and server side equipment for realizing the synchronization of contents. By regulating the timing relation in time, the invention can guarantee the synchronization of the data package content when the service is initiated and when the time lag fluctuation of the network transmission is relatively high.

With Long Term Evolution (LTE) network is example, at present, the content synchronization agreement is a SYNC agreement regulation, in order to realize content synchronization, when business is initiated, set up frame number (SN, Sequence Number) with eat dishes without rice or wine the SN timing relationship of (air interface) transmitting time (send time) T, in the carrying sub-district, all evolution base stations (eNode B, or abbreviate eNB as) all set up the SN timing relationship with the transmitting time T that eats dishes without rice or wine identical SN number, for example: the service rate R of MBMS is 128 kilobytes per seconds (kbps), the transmitting time that the packet of SN=0 (or being expressed as the SN_0 packet) is corresponding is called T (SN_0)=T 0Second, so, the transmitting time that the packet of SN=256 (or being expressed as the SN_x packet) is corresponding is called T (SN_256)=T 0+ (SN number/R)=T 0+ (256/128000)=T 0+ 0.002 second etc.; Have SN number in the transfer of data between eNB and gateway (AGW),, send according to the identical transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine for identical SN number packet to guarantee among the different e NB.
Above-mentioned SYNC agreement regulation in case the SN timing relationship is set up, even data source does not have data to send, also will add up by predefined timing relationship for SN number; And for the situation of packet packet loss, each sub-district can be by calculating SN numbers that wrap lost data packets front and back two, calculate the size of lost package, and calculate the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of lost data packets according to the timing relationship of the transmitting time T of the packet of losing, in order to guarantee the MBMS content synchronization, the eNB of lost data packets can not send any data in the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of the packet correspondence of losing.
And when the network transfer delay fluctuation is big, if SN_x packet as shown in Figure 1a arrives the buffer memory ability that the time of eNB has exceeded eNB in advance, perhaps the SN_x packet shown in Fig. 1 b lags behind and arrives eNB, all need existing SN number among the eNB is adjusted with the timing relationship of the transmitting time T that eats dishes without rice or wine, to guarantee the content synchronization of follow-up MBMS packet.When having exceeded the buffer memory ability of eNB such as the time that arrives eNB when the generation packet in advance, eNB need adjust timing relationship backward; When packet hysteresis arrival eNB took place, eNB need adjust timing relationship forward.And existing SYNC agreement is at the SN number adjustment mechanism with the timing relationship of the transmitting time T that eats dishes without rice or wine, thereby, can not guarantee the content synchronization of MBMS packet.In addition, when business was initiated, existing SYNC agreement did not provide the adjustment mechanism with the timing relationship of the transmitting time T that eats dishes without rice or wine SN number yet.

Embodiment
In order to make purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer,, the present invention is further elaborated below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explanation the present invention, and be not used in qualification the present invention.
Among the present invention, the SYNC agreement adopts the tree of many SYNC client (Client)-single SYNC server end (Server) to carry out content synchronization, abbreviates the SYNC client as client herein, abbreviates the SYNC server end as server end.Client can be any node in subscriber equipment (UE) or the Access Network, as eNB, NodeB or radio network controller; Server end can be MBMS controller or the interior arbitrary network node of core net in content server end, the Access Network.Be that MBMS content synchronization district is an example with the content synchronization district below, introduce the present invention program's realization.
Fig. 2 is the flow chart that the present invention realizes the method for content synchronization, as described in Figure 2, may further comprise the steps:
Step 200: detect content when asynchronous as client, each client sends the timing relationship adjustment amount that self needs to server end respectively.
After the process content synchronization in the initial moment, establish the SN timing relationship with the transmitting time T that eats dishes without rice or wine in the client in advance SN number, therefore for the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of certain SN_0 packet, client is to know the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of SN_x packet, when the buffer memory ability that time that the SN_x packet arrives eNB has in advance exceeded eNB occurring, perhaps lag behind to arrive eNB be when being later than time that the SN_x packet arrives eNB situation such as predefined transmitting time to the SN_x packet, client is to judge whether needs are adjusted timing relationship according to the concrete time of advent and existing SN timing relationship, this point belongs to technology as well known to those skilled in the art, is not described in detail here.In this step, when user end to server sent the timing relationship adjustment amount, other client in the server end meeting content of announcement synchronization zone sent the timing relationship adjustment amount that self needs.
In this step, client is determined to adopt T herein by the timing relationship adjustment amount according to packet the time of advent ENB (i)The timing relationship adjustment amount of representing i eNB, timing relationship adjustment amount can be absolute times, the promptly new SN_0 packet transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine; It also can be relative time, it is new SN_0 packet the eat dishes without rice or wine difference of transmitting time of transmitting time and old SN_0 packet of eating dishes without rice or wine, the wherein old SN_0 packet transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine is the value of feedback of content synchronization last time, and new SN_0 packet is eated dishes without rice or wine, and to be client determine according to self needs transmitting time.Eat dishes without rice or wine definite method of transmitting time of new SN_0 is:
Suppose to adopt T Receive (i), xThe time of reception of representing the SN_x packet of i eNB, the so new SN_x packet transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine can be T Receiver (i), x, perhaps T Receiver (i), x+ surplus, the new SN_0 packet transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine can be T Receiver (i), x-(x/R), perhaps (T Receiver (i), x+ surplus)-(x/R).Wherein surplus is a Configuration Values relevant with the transmission delay of eating dishes without rice or wine that sets in advance.
In this step, client also can be according to SN number of the packet of determining packet time of advent the to arrive binary crelation group with the timing relationship adjustment amount.At this moment, the absolute value of timing relationship adjustment amount is the binary crelation group of frame number x with the transmitting time composition of newly eating dishes without rice or wine of SN_x packet of the packet that arrives; The relative value of timing relationship adjustment amount is newly the eat dishes without rice or wine transmitting time and the binary crelation group formed of the difference of the old transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of SN_x packet as content synchronization value of feedback last time of the frame number x of the packet that arrives and SN_x packet.
The trigger mechanism of this step comprises: when the fluctuation of professional initial time trigger, network transfer delay is big such as the MBMS packet in advance or lag behind and arrive eNB, Event triggered or regularly trigger etc.
Further, client can also send to server end with the buffer memory ability of self.
Step 201: server end is determined the new timing relationship in the MBMS content synchronization district and is returned each client.
This step adopts maximum transmitted time delay estimation approach to determine new timing relationship, and specific implementation comprises:
If client is only fed back T ENB (i), then server end can be from each T ENB (i)In to choose a maximum value be Max (T ENB (i)) be that timing relationship (only feeds back T in client as the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of the current data packet in the sub-district that redefines ENB (i)Situation under, buffer memory ability C Buffer, i(adopt C herein Buffer, iThe buffer memory ability of representing i eNB) is a predefined constant); Further, if Max is (T ENB (i))-mean (T ENB (i)Being used to of)>default judged the packet sending threshold value that whether sends packet to client, then deletes Max (T ENB (i)), server end does not send the follow-up data bag to deleted eNB (j), or indicates it to stop the transmission of packet of eating dishes without rice or wine, and continues to choose maximum in the residue set, up to Max (T ENB (i))-mean (T ENB (i))<=preset data bag sending threshold value.Deleted Max (T ENB (i)) corresponding eNB (j) keeps mourning in silence eating dishes without rice or wine, and do not send the data of this MBMS business.Wherein, mean (T ENB (i)) be the T of each client feedback ENB (i)Mean value or remove Max (T ENB (i)) T of outer other client feedback ENB (i)Mean value.
If client is fed back T simultaneously ENB (i)With buffer memory ability C Buffer, iThe time,
If to each client, Max (T is arranged all ENB (i))<T ENB (i)+ C Buffer, i, then with Max (T ENB (i)) be timing relationship as the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of the current data packet in the sub-district that redefines.Wherein, Max (T ENB (i)) be client with maximum transmitted time delay;
If exist the feedback of client to satisfy Max (T ENB (i))>T ENB (i)+ C Buffer, i, that is: if with Max (T ENB (i)) as the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of current data packet, then have client that the situation that buffer memory overflows can take place, at this moment, all are satisfied Max (T ENB (i))<T ENB (i)+ C Buffer, iClient form a set, server end is with Max (T ENB (i)) be timing relationship as the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of SN_0 that redefines in this set or current SN_x packet; Remaining client is formed a new set, if the client of being somebody's turn to do in the new set all satisfies Max (T ENB (j)) (the maximum feedback value in the new set)<T ENB (j)+ C Buffer, j, then with Max (T ENB (j)) be timing relationship as the SN_0 that redefines in the new set or the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of current SN_x packet; If still there is Max (T in the client in should newly gathering ENB (j)) (the maximum feedback value in the new set)>T ENB (j)+ C Buffer, j, then repeat said method, be timing relationship up to the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine that redefines SN_0 or current SN_x packet for all clients.
Need to prove that if some set is too little, promptly number clients is less than default client system threshold in the set, the server end not client in this set sends the follow-up data bag, or indicates stop the to eat dishes without rice or wine transmission of packet of the interior client of this set.
Step 202: each client sends the follow-up data bag according to new timing relationship.
Also further comprise before the inventive method: server end issues MBMS service marker and MBMS service rate R to each client.If server end is supported the processing of absolute time, for example server end is supported the GPS function, and server end can also be further be handed down to client with the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of the SN_0 packet that sets in advance.At this moment, promptly in the initial moment of business, client is not set up the timing relationship with the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine as yet SN number, and client is eated dishes without rice or wine transmitting time as the timing relationship adjustment amount with the SN_0 packet, sends the timing relationship adjustment amount that self needs to server end respectively; Server end is determined the new timing relationship in the MBMS content synchronization district and returns each client that each client sends the follow-up data bag according to new timing relationship.
From the inventive method as seen, detect content when asynchronous as client, each client in the carrying sub-district feeds back to server end with new timing relationship adjustment amount respectively, server end redefines the new timing relationship in the MBMS content synchronization district and returns to each client according to the timing relationship adjustment amount of each client feedback; And each client sends the follow-up data bag according to new timing relationship.The present invention has guaranteed when the network transfer delay fluctuation is big the content synchronization of follow-up data bag by to the SN number timely adjustment with the timing relationship of the transmitting time T that eats dishes without rice or wine.
The present invention will be described in detail below by several specific embodiments.
Fig. 3 is the flow chart that the present invention realizes the embodiment one of content synchronization, and as shown in Figure 3, embodiment one may further comprise the steps:
Step 301: server end sends the SN_0 packet to client, and shown in Fig. 4 a, Fig. 4 a is among the embodiment one, and initial content synch command or SN_0 packet arrive the schematic diagram of eNB.
Before this step, if server end is not by other existing approach such as MBMS RB, RAB configuration/negotiation, MBMS service marker and MBMS service rate R are handed down to client, so, also comprise step 300: server end sends initial content (SYNC_initialization) order synchronously to client, wherein carries MBMS service marker and MBMS service rate R, shown in Fig. 4 a, the signaling format of initial content synch command is as shown in table 1:
The MBMS service marker MBMS service rate R
Table 1
If server end is supported GPS, also can further carry the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of the SN_0 packet that server end sets in advance in the initial content synch command, signaling format is as shown in table 2:
Figure GSB00000530592500081
Table 2
Step 302: have client to detect that packet lag behind to arrive or the buffer memory ability is overflowed, promptly detect to exist content asynchronous.
Step 303: each user end to server end sends content synchronization request (SYNC_request), and the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine that wherein carries the new SN_0 packet that needs separately is the timing relationship adjustment amount.
The signaling format of content synchronization request is as shown in table 3:
The MBMS service marker The pre-transmitting time (absolute value) that client is determined separately
Table 3
Further, can also carry the buffer memory ability information of client in the content synchronization request, signaling format is as shown in table 4:
The MBMS service marker The pre-transmitting time that SYNC Client determines separately Buffer buffer memory ability
Table 4
Further, on the basis of table 3 or table 4, can also carry in the content synchronization request SN number.
Step 304: server end redefines the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of SN_0 or SN_x packet.
Shown in Fig. 4 b, Fig. 4 b is among the embodiment one, and the initial content synch command of different e NB feedback arrives the schematic diagram of the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of eNB or SN_0 packet in the carrying sub-district.If client is only fed back T ENB (i), as the T among Fig. 4 b ENB (1), T ENB (2)And T ENB (K), and T ENB (1)<T ENB (2)<T ENB (K), then server end is from each T ENB (i)In to choose a maximum value be T ENB (K)The transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine as the SN_0 packet in the sub-district that redefines; Further, if Max is (T ENB (i))-mean (T ENB (i))>preset data bag sending threshold value is then deleted Max (T ENB (i)), server end does not send the follow-up data bag to deleted eNB (j), or indicates it to stop the transmission of packet of eating dishes without rice or wine, and continues to choose maximum in the residue set, up to Max (T ENB (i))-mean (T ENB (i))<=preset data bag sending threshold value.Deleted Max (T ENB (i)) corresponding eNB (j) keeps mourning in silence eating dishes without rice or wine, and do not send the data of this MBMS business.
Shown in Fig. 4 c, Fig. 4 c is among the embodiment one, generates the schematic diagram of a plurality of feedback time set.If client is fed back T simultaneously ENB (i)With buffer memory ability C Buffer, iThe time, suppose to exist T ENB (1), T ENB (2)And T ENB (K), and T ENB (1)<T ENB (2)<T ENB (K)Be Max (T ENB (i)) be T ENB (K), and Max (T ENB (i))>T ENB (1)+ C Buffer, 1, Max (T ENB (i))<T ENB (2)+ C Buffer, 2, Max (T ENB (i))<T ENB (K)+ C Buffer, K, then server end is for client 2 and client K, with Max (T ENB (i)) be T ENB (K)The transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine as the SN_0 packet of client in the sub-district that redefines 2 and client K; Remaining client 1 is as a new set, the Max (T of this moment ENB (j)) be T ENB (1), and Max (T ENB (j))<T ENB (1)+ C Buffer, 1, then server end is with Max (T ENB (j)) be T ENB (1)The transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine as the SN_0 packet of the client in the sub-district that redefines 1.
Step 305: server end is to each client returned content sync response (SYNC_response), wherein carries the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of the SN_0 packet of each client that server end redefines.
In this step, the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of the SN_0 packet that redefines can be absolute time such as gps time etc., also can be that relative time is the difference (or being called the transmitting time adjustment amount) of the transmitting time of transmitting time after the server end judgement and client feedback.
The signaling format of content synchronization response is shown in table 5 or table 6:
The MBMS service marker The transmitting time adjustment amount (relative value) that server end is determined
Table 5
The MBMS service marker The transmitting time (absolute value) that server end is determined
Table 6
Further, on the basis of table 5 or table 6, can also carry SN number in the content synchronization response.
Step 306: the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of the SN_0 packet of each client adjustment self, the basis that the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of the SN_0 packet that server end is returned sends as self follow-up data bag, by the processing of the process of SN_0 calculated for subsequent packet SN_x, no longer describe in detail here with reference to existing SN timing relationship.
Step 307-step 308: server end issues follow-up SN_x packet to client, and each client sends follow-up SN_x packet according to the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of adjusted SN_0 packet.
In this step, each client sends follow-up SN_x packet according to eat dishes without rice or wine transmitting time and the default timing relationship of new SN_0 packet.
Fig. 5 is the flow chart that the present invention realizes the embodiment two of content synchronization, and as shown in Figure 5, embodiment two may further comprise the steps:
The specific implementation of step 500-step 504 and step 300-step 304 in full accord repeats no more here.
Step 505: server end issues follow-up SN_x packet to each client, wherein is provided with newly-increased timestamp field, and this timestamp field is used to carry the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of the SN_0 packet of each client that server end redefines.
In this step, need in packet, increase the feedback that the timestamp field is supported the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of SN_0 packet.The mode of this interpolation timestamp is equivalent to define a kind of new protocol layer on transport layer, its header structure is as shown in table 7.
Figure GSB00000530592500101
Table 7
The specific implementation of step 506-step 508 and step 306-step 308 in full accord repeats no more here.
Find out that easily embodiment two is with the difference of embodiment one: server end does not need to adopt the content synchronization response signaling, the transmitting time of eating dishes without rice or wine of adjusted SN_0 packet feeds back to each client by timestamp newly-increased in the follow-up data bag.
Have when Fig. 3 and business shown in Figure 5 are initiated client detect packet lag behind arrive or flow process that the buffer memory ability is overflowed, also exist in the professional transmission course, because the processing that the transmitting time that the network transfer delay shake causes is reset is described in detail as follows below in conjunction with embodiment three and embodiment four:
Fig. 6 is the flow chart that the present invention realizes the embodiment three of content synchronization, and as shown in Figure 6, embodiment three comprises following steps:
Step 600: server end sends the SN_x packet to client.
Step 601: have client to detect that packet lag behind to arrive or the buffer memory ability is overflowed.
