Description

The method of measurement of subscriber equipment operation maintenance in multimedia broadcasting and the multicast service

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of according to the said method of sending the multimedia service transmission through the land wireless network to a plurality of receivers of claim 1 preamble.In addition, the invention still further relates to a kind of receiver that transmits according to the said multimedia service that sends to a plurality of receivers through the reception of land wireless network of claim 28 preamble.

Background technology

For having the small type mobile devices than miniature antenna, for example the mobile TV in the mobile phone provides terrestrial broadcast professional (Terrestrial broadcast services), has become the field of extensively being paid close attention to.For example, be that global system for mobile communications (GSM) and WCDMA insert the definition of (WCDMA) mobile system and developed multimedia broadcasting and multicast service (MBMS).And inserting 2000 (CDMA2000) for code division multiple access also has similar notion.In addition, broadcast system independently, for example digital video broadcast handheld (DVB-H) is developed.All these are used to small-sized (can be carried by the individual) mobile device provides terrestrial broadcast professional technology and correlation technique, below all is called MBMS.

Only use down link (DL); The i.e. information non-duplex communication (non-duplex communication) that only (BS) transmits to the direction of subscriber equipment (UE) from the base station in wave point, and the MBMS system that has carried out optimizing for broadcasting service is in the cards.Only use a special benefit of the system of down link to be, up link (UL) does not need radio spectrum resources, has only DL to need wireless carrier and frequency spectrum resource.Another benefit is, only uses the system of down link can ignore the radio characteristics of UL, thus the base station of only using DL that can developed horse power optimization in such system, and these base stations have high-output power and cover with good.Be called MBMS special carrier (DC) system or abbreviate special carrier system as below this MBMS system that only uses wireless DL.

Have MBMS function or technology, also can handle with the identical or paired UL of the radio spectrum resources of DL on the land wireless system (terrestrial wireless system) of radio spectrum resources transmission, then be called MBMS mixed carrier (MC) system or abbreviate mixed carrier (MC) system as.Vide infra, the UL in the MBMS MC system can be used for the UL signaling, and/or needs the non-MBMS of UL professional, such as unicast service (unicast service).

On the UL between BS and the UE or on the DL or simultaneously on these two kinds of links, have the land wireless system of point to point link ability, but below be called unicast system or abbreviate clean culture (UC) system as.Typical unicast user traffic comprises voice call, visual telephone, Internet (Internet) network browsing and message transmission etc.

A common situation of disposing MBMS DC system is, covers this system to place on the UC network, that is to say that DC and UC system be overlapping on geography covers.The DC and the UC system that overlap can use the identical or different network equipment and Internet resources or its combination.For example; In the discussion of third generation gpp (3GPP), predicted such situation; Promptly typically will place MBMS DC system on UC GSM, WCDMA or Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, and typical UE can support the professional and UC business by the MBMS of MC or DC issue.

In order in telecommunication system, to detect performance issue, carry out failure diagnosis, and can correctly adjust the configurable parameter in the telecommunication system, adopted the datacycle collection technique, for example normally used statistics sum counter.Present above-mentioned technical application in all main land wide area wireless system, for example GSM or WCDMA system.Usually, these data can be collected from each network node with fixed distance, for example whenever collect once at a distance from 15 minutes.Then; This data are being moved and are being safeguarded and carry out reprocessing (post-processed) in (O&M) system; Promptly can calculate Key Performance Indicator (Key Performance Indicator) usually; And if decreased performance can produce immediate operation person's alarm (immediate operator alarm) to certain level.The performance report that supplies human operator may to read also can produce with fixed distance, thereby triggers the manual correction operation.And, can also produce the data that are input to other system automatically, so that support adjustment to system.Generally, this data are used in the network resource requirement decision-making under failure diagnosis, network parameter adjustment and the various scene after by reprocessing, and for example when initial network was installed, perhaps the network resource requirement when further the equipment dilatation is installed was made a strategic decision.So just can after software upgrading, carry out performance verification and correct operation, and can detect otherwise can not detected problem.This collect in the above described manner and data that be applied to above-mentioned technology below all are called counter (counter) or statistics (statistic date).

Now; In the wireless system that has adopted above-mentioned data collection and Performance Evaluation technology; Counter or collected statistics usually with call out control plane (call control plane) or user plane (user plane) in success, (telecom procedure) is relevant for unsuccessful or uncompleted telecommunications program, for example set up number of times with detected random access trial (Random Access Attempts) number of times, random access number of success, subscriber equipment session and the UE log-on count under the different UEs state, lost or the like relevant.

In the prior art, in order to realize the failure diagnosis and other behavior in the MBMS system, UE possibly measure and report statistics.Regulation in the 3GPP MBMS sixth version (Rel-6); After session is accomplished; Can ask UE to carry out statistical report; This can be referring to 3GPP TS 26.346, Multimedia Multicast/Broadcast Service (MBMS), protocols and codecs (3GPP TS 26.346, multimedia broadcast/group broadcast service, agreement and code).This request is embedded among the data that UE receives when service discovering (service discovery)/service announcement (service announcement).Current mechanism comprises report quality tolerance (quality metrics), and for example report worsens the duration (Corruption Duration), cushions duration (Rebuffering duration), initial buffer (Initial buffering), real-time transport protocol (rtp) divide into groups lose (Successive loss of RTP packets), frame frequency deviation (Frame Rate deviation) continuously and shake the duration (Jitter Duration) again.Current mechanism also comprises disperses report and only requested part UE report in time, thereby reduces load peak.

But, there is certain problem in the design of current MBMS system.For example, when the wireless coverage rate of the professional wireless network of MBMS transmission is bad,, just might, receiver (UE) go wrong when returning report so for MC MBMS system.At first, because decline or other covering problem, receiver even can not correctly receive MBMS from transmitter and transmit.Even UE can receive the report request from the base station, so also following situation possibly occur: the more weak relatively UE transmitter of signal possibly send report to the base station.In this case, the base station will notice that UE does not reply, but does not know that but where is the problem.

For the system that only uses down link, owing to do not have up link, so there is not any means can anything be reported the base station certainly.Yet such system also may stand the situation such as service disconnection (service outages), so at this moment just must carry out failure diagnosis in the scene of driving usually.

Summary of the invention

To illustrate and describe example embodiment of the present invention now, in the accompanying drawings:

Fig. 1 illustrates UE and carries out statistical measurement, and to network reporting measurement result.

Fig. 2 illustrates the variety of way of UE report information.

Fig. 3 illustrates the control that UE is measured.

Embodiment

In current wireless system, in each network entity, in each sub-district, each band of position, safeguard counter or statistics usually, and in each session, do not safeguard counter or statistics.In general, UE itself does not directly collect above-mentioned counter, perhaps transmits, participates in the collection operation of any above-mentioned counter.The counter relevant with wave point collected by network terminal (network end).UE need measure and give network (base station etc.) with reporting measuring result, but can above-mentioned measurement result be used for O&M reprocessing and Performance Evaluation usually.The measurement result of UE is generally used for real-time machine implementation algorithm (real-time machine-implemented algorithms), for example trigger to switch or going up of bit rate switched (up-switch of bit rate) etc.Usually, all counters or statistics are all collected from network (for example base station etc.).A main cause of in UE, not measuring in the past,, collecting counter or statistics is: avoid wave point when reporting above-mentioned counter or statistics, to produce too much load.

As stated, Virtual network operator is initiated network adjustment (network tuning) according to the result of statistic gathering and reprocessing usually.Can realize the network optimization in this way, for example optimize protocol parameter obtaining best experience user performance (experienced user performance), and optimize wireless parameter and antenna parameter to obtain good coverage rate etc.The adjustment that is used for optimizing network is a continuous process of network operation.Statistics also plays an important role aspect problem detection.For example, if some function or some resource complete failure, network performance will drop to lower level.Except statistics, use other means possibly be difficult to detect above-mentioned inefficacy.MBMS DC system especially has problems aspect above-mentioned.This is because there be not the mutual of both direction in such system on wave point, in network, does not also have to collect and the relevant statistics counter of user experience that transmits.That MBMS DC system does not have in wireless user plane or control plane is success or unsuccessful, accomplish or uncompleted program to realize counting.

Yet,, and also have the demand of adjustment wireless parameter and antenna parameter because MBMS DC system also has the geographical problem that covers; Owing to also might have disabler and the resource failed that is difficult to detect in the MBMS DC system, therefore, need in MBMS DC system, the function that is similar to statistic gathering be provided.

In order to overcome the shortcoming of prior art; The embodiment of the invention has proposed a kind of relevant to the method for land wireless network to the transmission of a plurality of receivers (or UE) transmission multimedia service, and wherein the multimedia service transmission sends at least one receiver from a transmitting set.This method may further comprise the steps:

In above-mentioned at least one receiver, form relevant multimedia service information transmitted of sending to a plurality of receivers;

Other communication modes that utilization separates with above-mentioned land wireless network arrive management entity with this feedback information; With the adjusting that allows the said multimedia service that sends to a plurality of receivers to transmit, the said information that said adjusting is transmitted about the said multimedia service that sends to a plurality of receivers.Above-mentioned multimedia service transmission can be the transmission such as broadcasting or multicast type.

By this way, making receiver or UE use with MBMS radio bearer (radio bearer) or the communication mechanism that separates with the MBMS system reports the result of statistical measurement sum counter to become possibility.Especially, can use the UC system that is covered by the MBMS system to report these results, particularly when the MBMS system is the DC system.Especially, for the MC system, UE can use the professional relevant communication mechanism of the communication mechanism relevant with the general controls (general control) of UE or use and UC and/or UC to report these results.So also bring benefit in secret, promptly can avoid the use of specific communication mechanism and the additional complexity brought, these specific communication mechanism are based on MBMS MC, and purpose is to report, and its use is because the deployment of MBMS MC system.

For example, relevant multimedia service information transmitted can comprise that at least one item is used for the mass measurement (quality measure) of multimedia service transmission.UE can be through carrying out the measurement relevant with performance, and through safeguarding the counter relevant with the wireless transmission reception with the user experience of MBMS transmission, form such mass measurement.Subsequently, UE can report the result such as the management entity in the network.And transmitting the problem of not considering wireless transmission quality in the relevant prior art with MBMS.

The benefit of the above method is, makes under MBMS DC, to report the result of sensing possibility problem to become possibility with correction/adjustment network, and wherein these sensing possibility problems are relevant with the transmission reception with user experience.Like this, under MBMS DC, need not invent special program and safeguard the counter in statistics and the network, just can detect, measure the problem relevant with the transmission reception with analysis and user experience, thus correction/adjustment Radio Access Network.

UE adds up (UE STATISTICS)

At present, in the prior art, for performance how to confirm MBMS has defined some measurements.But; These are measured and to be based on all that session carries out; And because the different session of the UE potential reception of meeting; Therefore in order to carry out Access Network (RAN) failure diagnosis, for example in order to compare the quality of reception of diverse location UE, these measurement results just need at first be sued for peace or asked average based on received length of session.Because network such as some professional received length of session such as 3GPP MBMS broadcasting services (for example possibly can't obtain; Owing to significantly do not add (join) or leave (leave) session operation), so current measurement of the prior art can not be used for above-mentioned purpose.Further, current measurement can not be based on wave point or geography information, and this just is that effective reinforced effects is needed.

Class-based counter (CLASS BASED COUNTERS)

In one embodiment, can comprise at least one mass measurement according to the method for the embodiment of the invention, this mass measurement is included in the quality of reception of predetermined threshold, and receiver receives the time that data spent.For example this quality of reception is meant the quality of service class (service class).

About MBMS error rate measurement (error-rate-measurement), can restriction be set to distinguish a plurality of Quality of Service classes, so that reflect the quality of reception of MBMS through definition error rate thresholding (error-rate threshold).Three for example such kinds can be called " well " and " can accept " and " bad ".In addition, can also further measure the time that in defined each QoS class, is spent, perhaps, can in defined some QoS class, measure the quantity that receives data or frame.

Utilize this method of measurement; Through data/frame number addition that each UE required time in the specific QoS class or each UE are received; Just can be very at an easy rate together from the results added of a plurality of UE; Thereby under different QoS classes, form the statistical measurements of whole network or a part of network.Another kind of replacement scheme is, utilizes the quantity of relevant time or data/frame to calculate the average time of a plurality of UE under each QoS class or the quantity of average data/frame, to form network metric (network metric).

Usually, through managing class-based counter, in the certain hour section, calculate the quantity of incident, and report these calculators (result), to reduce greatly and come required load on UE and the wave point to replace reporting respectively every measurement event.This method is applicable to all class-based counters of mentioning in this patent file.

If require reporting measurement result immediately, can report the average QoS class (average QoS class) of small sample frame so.

Like this, report the number of the UE of a certain QoS class to add up or on average, to form the QoS class tolerance (QoS class metric) of network.This measures test transmission (test transmission) and the user is particularly useful when being indifferent to this transmission at UE.This makes that thereby carry out short-term measures the influence that minimizes the UE battery life and become possibility.

Be used to cover-the class-based counter (CLASS BASED COUNTERS FOR COVERAGE-QUALITY-DESIGNS) of quality-design

Suppose that radio bearer technology that some MBMS used and transmitted the MBMS Media Stream is based on following design principle: but for different perception QoS levels, coverage is obviously different.For example a kind of media application can be divided into a plurality of not homogeneous turbulences, and it is different from coverage to adapt to carry out different transfer encodings to these streams.Have only the highest code stream of robustness to have the coverage of " fully ", and it can to the terminal use provide a kind of " basically " but perception QoS level.Along with UE gets into better wireless status, UE can also receive the lower code stream of robustness, will obtain the data of more correct decodings like this, and can improve the appreciable QoS level of user.

For this type systematic, can be in each QoS class of the QoS-of system covering design definition the summation of quantity of Measuring Time or data/frame.For example the C class equals correctly to receive a stream (being lower than the error rate of certain thresholding), and category-B equals correctly to receive two streams (being lower than the error rate of certain thresholding), and category-A equals correctly to receive three streams (being lower than the error rate of certain thresholding).

Utilize this method of measurement; Through data/frame number addition that each UE required time in the specific QoS class or each UE are received; Just can be very at an easy rate together from the results added of a plurality of UE; Thereby under different QoS classes, form the statistical measurements of whole network or a part of network.Another kind of replacement scheme is, utilizes the quantity of relevant time or data/frame to calculate the average time of a plurality of UE under each QoS class or the quantity of average data/frame, to form network metric.

Usually, through managing class-based counter, in the certain hour section, calculate the quantity of incident, and report these calculators (result), to reduce greatly and come required load on UE and the wave point to replace reporting respectively every measurement event.This method is applicable to all class-based counters of mentioning in this patent file.

If require reporting measurement result immediately, can report the average QoS class of small sample frame so.

Like this, report the number of the UE of a certain QoS class to add up or on average, to form the QoS class tolerance of network.This measures test transmission and the user is particularly useful when being indifferent to this transmission at UE.This makes that thereby carry out short-term measures the influence that minimizes the UE battery life and become possibility.The comprehensive quality of each receiver (UE) (GENERAL QUALITY PER RECEIVER (UE))

In one embodiment, can comprise at least one mass measurement according to the method for the embodiment of the invention, this mass measurement comprises at least one quality of wireless network parameter.

Because user experience and user satisfaction are difficult to directly measure, therefore alternatively, the embodiment of the invention has proposed measurement MBMS wireless receiving error rate (error rate).Can between " on average " user experience/satisfaction and MBMS wireless receiving error rate, set up mapping relations through studying this theme.Because MBMS is transmitted as Digital Transmission, the main mistake measurement of quality of wireless network can be each in BLER(block error rate) or the BER, calculates by the cyclic redundancy check parity check or to the mistake calibration code of certain reception data block usually and detects.Certainly, it is also conceivable that other measurement, measure like interference level.

These error rates can easily be measured in UE.Use for most MBMS, can carry out this measurement in an identical manner, and measured entity can be mapped as user satisfaction or user experience.

Can also carry out the mistake of higher level measures; For example 3GPP TS 26.346; The measurement of definition among the Multimedia Multicast/Broadcast Service (MBMS), protocols and codes (3GPP TS 26.346, multimedia broadcast/group broadcast service (MBMS), agreement and code).Preferably; In order more easily to compare these measurements; Measured entity should be relative; For example, at the ratio of certain hour the interim Media Stream that can correctly rebuild and the Media Stream that can not correctly rebuild, for example suffer the ratio of error media frame that appears and the media frame of correctly reappearing again.

The measurement of this application level can shine upon user satisfaction more reliably than simple wireless error rate.Be called error rate measurement below the measurement of the above-mentioned type.

Because to propose above-mentioned measured entity should be relative to the embodiment of the invention, so they have nothing to do with the length of session, data volume of reception or the like, thereby this measurement can more easily compare between different measurements than absolute measurement.

Fundamental measurement (Basic Measurements)

The embodiment of the invention has proposed and measure received energy or therefrom derivative any entity of known symbol, frequency pilot sign on signal strength signal intensity, the MBMS wireless carrier.Can or derive from entity above-mentioned signal strength signal intensity, received energy further sets up related with the benchmark such as interference level, reception noise energy.Be called signal strength measurement below the measurement of the above-mentioned type.

Can easily in UE, carry out this type measurement.This is because most of UE federation need carry out this type measurement for locomotive function or the like.This type measured with the MBMS application irrelevant fully, but the information of a lot of basic wireless conditions can be provided, thereby can analyze producing root application level problem (for example detected by another measurement).

Even without carrying out the MBMS transmission, also can on pilot channel, synchronizing channel or system information broadcast channel, carry out this type measurement.So just can be under the running status of not considering application server, checking is also measured the serviceability of Radio Access Network, and this is very easily under initial installation situation for example.

The embodiment of the invention has further proposed and classify to the measured entity in the signal strength measurement; And should calculate the time quantum that completed measurement quantity or result will be mapped to a certain QoS class; Thereby form class-based counter; So that can the counting addition of a plurality of UE is average, thereby form network level statistics designator (network level statistics indicator).

Utilize this method of measurement; Through all or part of Measuring Time or the quantity addition that each UE is reported to each QoS class; Can be at an easy rate together from the result of a plurality of UE or " on average " results added; So just can be directed against the different QoS class, form the statistical measurements of whole or subnetwork.

If require reporting measurement result immediately, can report the average QoS class of small sample frame so.

Like this, report the number of the UE of a certain QoS class to add up or on average, to form the QoS class tolerance of network.This measures test transmission and the user is particularly useful when being indifferent to this transmission at UE.This makes that thereby carry out short-term measures the influence that minimizes the UE battery life and become possibility.Be called " QoS measurement " below above-mentioned all measurements.

Measurement (MEASUREMENTS DURING MOBILITY) during moving

Generally speaking, from the experience of wireless access system, can suppose: mobile process (mobile procedure) is the most responsive to the appreciable quality of user.Switching, cell selecting or the like all are to carry out in the poorest place of wireless conditions, and are triggered by the change of wireless conditions, therefore are easy to obliterated data or lose session fully.

The embodiment of the invention proposes, and can carry out above QoS to the mobility of MBMS and measure, and promptly changes the MBMS sub-district, measures when perhaps changing the MBMS single frequency network area at UE, and it all is feasible measuring in any situation.

Like this, just can in the MBMS wireless network, collect the important information relevant with the possible root of user experience problem.

The embodiment of the invention proposes, and the UC network for MBMS MC network or covering MBMS DC network can carry out above QoS to the mobility of UC and measure, and promptly when UE switches in the minizone, measures.

Like this, just can in the wireless environment of wireless network, collect the important information relevant with the possible root of user experience problem.

Position measurement (LOCATION MEASUREMENTS)

In one embodiment, the information in the embodiment of the invention method can comprise each in the group of being made up of location parameter, sub-district bundle (cell-beam) id, cell i d etc.Therefore, the embodiment of the invention proposes, and can measure the position of UE, and reports above-mentioned measurement result by UE, and wherein UE can also report other measurement result.The embodiment of the invention further proposes, and in the reprocessing of data, QoS measurement result data can be divided into groups, sue for peaces or on average according to the position at UE place.In order to locate problematic geographic area, aforesaid operations is very important.

The embodiment of the invention proposes, and network can dispose the granularity and/or the location mechanism of the position that is reported by UE.Can at first utilize simple location mechanism to come to detect roughly problem like this, (for example for in-problem a certain zone) accurately is positioned at problem more specifically in the zone more then.Also have a kind of possibility, promptly often report the fine granularity position, this is also bad usually; This is because fine-grained position measurement; For example auxiliary global satellite positioning system needs UE to carry out handling usually complicatedly, and can influence battery or most of signaling or both.Particularly for the current UE that does not receive MBMS, more expectation can be reduced to minimum to the influence of UE battery life.

The embodiment of the invention also proposes; Come the information of automatic network to can be used as position indication (location identity), for example the geographical position (for example latitude, longitude) of cell i d, sub-district local (cell portion) id (sub-district bundle id), band of position id, Routing Area id, tracing area id, service area id, MBMS service area id, base station or logical place (being numbered the place, shell gas station of XX), base station id or the like.This information can also embed among session data or the control flows, for example MBMS Session ID or the like.It should be noted that the base station can be conventional MBMS base station, UC base station or the certain base station that is used to locate.This method is very simple.It need not carry out any special measurement.UE only need receive the information of sending from network and get final product.

The embodiment of the invention further proposes, if UE can receive different this information from the different base station of network, then UE can report these information that receive from different base stations as the position indication.

And if UE can receive this information from several base stations, then UE can also carry out signal strength measurement for these base stations, and report is instructed transmission/strain position information from these signal of base station intensity and positional information or according to signal strength signal intensity.As long as being carried out simple extension, above simple mechanisms just better positioning accuracy can be provided.Because any UE possesses the signal strength measurement ability under the situation of movement always, therefore realize that the cost of the better positioning accuracy of UE will be very low.

Utilize the UE measurement to go/come the two-way time of one or more base stations, perhaps measure phase difference from the different base station signal (as, observation arrives time difference OTDOA), just can further expand the simple mechanisms of above simple mechanisms and expansion.

Can be based on uplink measurement, for example up link step-out time (UTDOA) positions.In this case, network must be interrelated the measurement of the position of UE and UE QoS.So good positioning accuracy can be provided, and if for there has been such navigation system in other purpose, realize that so cost will be very low.

Can also utilize global position system, GPS, GLONASS to wait positions.The auxiliary data that this method can be utilized or not utilize network and provided is accomplished.Can provide good location accurate like this, and if for there has been such navigation system in other purpose, realize that so cost will be very low.

Measure control (MEASUREMENT CONTROL)

The embodiment of the invention proposes, and can measure by belonging to the above QoS of this Network Management physical arrangements, thereby accomplish:

● sometime the section in operating measurement;

● specific interval ground operating measurement in a plurality of time periods is arranged;

● operation is measured fast as requested, for example only measures based on the low volume data that receives;

● when having only UE to be in ad-hoc location, just operating measurement and/or report are measured.

Like this, operator can customize above-mentioned measurement according to specific operating position, thereby optimizes UE load, UE battery life and be used for the load on the wave point of reporting measurement.

● be utilized in sometime possible the scheme of operating measurement in the section, can binding hours saving resource, thereby and can limit and measure some transient state of special concern in time, for example send test and transmit transient state;

Similarly, above-mentioned instruction can comprise: which management entity instruction uses, and receives the multimedia service information transmitted of sending about to a plurality of receivers.

And, can comprise in any instruction of more than mentioning: instruct which kind of information in above-mentioned at least one receiver, to form.This command information can be the instruction that in required precision, forms the location estimation of at least one receiver.

If exist under the situation of optional measurement sum counter; If perhaps having optional mode carries out/calculates under the situation of measuring and counting; If perhaps exist optional mode to send under the situation of reporting the result, the embodiment of the invention proposes and control employed option in the above-mentioned situation by network.If have the parameter that is used to control these options, also should confirm the setting of parameter by network.UE can propose option and setting and himself ability is offered network.Utilize this mode, Virtual network operator just can customize according to concrete operating position to be measured and counting, and for example customization is measured and counting under initial network installation, contiguous network monitoring or the like situation.Like this, operator just can average out between the offered load that good observability and report are produced.Therefore, just can be in all parts of network, control UE measures and statistical counting, makes it can not produce excessive offered load.

The control information that network can utilize the MBMS carrier wave to send is controlled the UE relevant with MBMS and is measured and count.

Especially, the control information that network should utilize and the control information of MBMS business or session is irrelevant controls that the UE relevant with MBMS measures and counting.

Especially, can send control information by the conventional control channel of this wireless carrier or the professional conventional control channel of MBMS and realize above measurement and counting.Especially, these channels can be general controls channel (common control channel), and for example BCCH (3GPP BCCH) or MBMS control channel (3GPP MCCH) also can be DCCH (3GPP DCCH).Utilize this mode, can be connected to the UE that all are receiving MBMS transmission or this transmission of current concern (for example monitoring the MBMS control channel), thereby configuration and control are to their measurement and counting.Utilize this mode, can measure based on the requirement request of UE, for example can be based on asking to measure with the irrelevant air interference failure diagnosis demand of actual MBMS session.

Network can utilize the control information of sending on communication channel rather than the MBMS carrier wave to control the UE relevant with MBMS and measure and count.

Especially, for the situation of having disposed MBMS DC system, more than measure and control information that counting should utilize the wireless carrier with the UC network of its overlapping to send realizes.For network is especially true under each the situation in GSM EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN), UMTS Terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN), LTE, CDMA2000, AIE (AIE), Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) and the micro-wave access global inter communication (WiMAX).

Especially, network should utilize with the irrelevant control information of the control information of MBMS business or session and control UE measurement and the counting relevant with MBMS.

Especially, can send control information by the professional conventional control channel of MC MBMS on the conventional control channel of UC wireless carrier or the UC carrier wave and realize above measurement and counting.Especially, these channels can be the general controls channels, and for example BCCH (3GPP BCCH) or MBMS control channel (3GPP MCCH) also can be DCCH (3GPP DCCH).Utilize this mode, can also not be connected to and receive MBMS transmission or the current UE that does not pay close attention to this transmission of MBMS, thereby configuration and control are to their measurement and counting.Utilize this mode, can also exceed in the MBMS business and realize in the geographic area of coverage or MBMS traffic failure measuring and counting.Utilize this mode, can also be implemented in measurement and counting when not having user or UE to receive (listening) MBMS business or concern MBMS business, for example can perhaps not measure and count based on the test transmission based on testing to transmit.Like this, can initial deployment period, any active ues seldom period, or for example midnight such low traffic collect useful data period so that for example after network has just reconfigured the back or accomplished renewal, verify operations such as network.

Can trigger through the one or more UE of paging and measure.All are measured relevant control information with request and can in beep-page message, send, and perhaps beep-page message only can trigger any in above-mentioned other mechanism mentioned of UE use, thereby obtain whole control informations of a certain particular measurement.UE need be just to not finding out measuring control information, and the various control channels of continuous monitoring promptly just can reduce UE resource consumption (for example, UE battery consumption) like this.Need on the channel of UE fixing monitoring always, not dispatch measuring control information, therefore can avoid the load on this channel.For example, if UE is provided with (camp) on the UC carrier wave, and the MBMS measuring control information transmits on MBMS DC, so in order to reduce UE load and UE battery consumption, especially for not at the UE of reception MBMS, just should avoid UE continuous monitoring MBMS DC.

According to a scheme of embodiment of the invention method, being used for feedback information can be the Radio Access Network that on geography, overlaps with the land wireless network to the different communication mode of management entity.Any network in the group that this network for example can be made up of GSM, WCDMA, CDMA2000, GERAN, UTRAN, 3GPP LTE, AIE, WiFi and WiMax.For this Radio Access Network that on geography, overlaps with the land wireless network, the transfer mechanism of Radio Access Network can be used for transmission information.One of this mechanism is exemplified as the grouped data transfer mechanism.Another of this mechanism is exemplified as and sends messages application (messaging application).

It should be noted that for statistics/counter/measurement, Radio Access Network is not the main recipient of measurement result.In fact, main recipient is the O&M after-treatment system, and this system possibly belong to or not belong to the measurement result of being asked operator extremely to be sent.In fact, need control measurement report place extremely to be sent such as the characteristics such as Business agreement between infrastructure shared, independent MBMS operator or any mixing operator scenario in order to realize.

In order to handle MBMS DC scene, can set up report mechanism through the various UC access technologies such as GERAN, UTRAN, 3GPP LTE, WiMax.

Therefore, for pratical and feasible, drop to minimum just very important with being used to implement influence that UE statistics measurement report caused in the Radio Access Network.

And also expectation can will need the data converted number to drop to minimum, thereby makes O&M statistics after-treatment system can handle the measurement data from UE.
