The embodiment of the invention is mainly based on the solution of the IPTV framework of IMS/PSS/MBMS.
The embodiment of the invention has proposed a kind of method of the IPTV of foundation multicast service, shown in Fig. 1 a, may further comprise the steps:
Step 10, the subscriber equipment initiation session is set up process.
Step 20, said subscriber equipment are received after success response is set up in session and are initiated to add the multicast service request to broadcast multicast service center BM-SC.
In the embodiment of the invention one, visit ownership place multicast service is set up process (ownership place control).The scene of present embodiment is a user capture ownership place multicast service, and service logic is controlled by ownership place, comprises that the user is in visit ground or two kinds of situation of ownership place.The management of professional deployment, the preparation of multicast source, multicast address and channel relation is responsible for by the ownership place service provider.User's IMSI (International MobileSubscriber Identification Number; International mobile subscriber identity) and the corresponding relation of user with multicast address tabulation that authority watches in HSS (Home Subscriber Server, home signature user server) similar solid, store.
Embodiment one concrete visit ownership place multicast service is set up process shown in Fig. 1 b, may further comprise the steps:
Step 101; UE (User Equipment; Subscriber equipment) obtains ownership place EPG (ElectronicProgram Guide in the service discovering process from the network element (all being SSF) of programs stored information among all embodiment of the present invention; Electric program guide), possibly comprise APN (Access Point Name, APN), multicast address, bandwidth information etc.
Step 102, the UE initiation session is set up request, comprising:
UE sets up request Invite to IMS Core (IMS core) initiation session, wherein carries service identification, channel information, IMS user identity, SDP (Session Description Protocol, Session Description Protocol) Offer, terminal capability etc.; Wherein, terminal capability possibly carry in SDP.
After IMS Core receives Invite, be routed to operation controlling entity (like SCF) according to service identification among the Invite or channel information.Wherein, Be routed to SCF dual mode is arranged: take PSI (PublicService Identities according to channel information; Public service identity) routing mode, or take IFC (InitialFilter Criteria, initial filter standard or norm) triggering mode according to service identification.
Step 103, it is local service that SCF judges, needs the current session of termination; Obtain user's IPTVProfile data (can be stored on the SCF, also can from HSS, directly obtain) by SCF, and through relevant authentication, the channel scope check of IPTV business to the user.
Step 104, SCF returns session and sets up successfully, comprising:
SCF returns session to IMS Core and sets up successful 200OK, comprising User IP TV service authority information.Can directly be IMSI, IMPU (IP Multimedia Public Identity, IP multimedia public identity) and corresponding IPTV authentication information also can be IMPU and corresponding IPTV authentication information.If the latter, and the mapping relations of IMSI and IMPU exist on the SCF, need these mapping relations be issued together, otherwise need on BM-SC, dispose the corresponding relation of IMSI and IMPU.Also can in the 200OK response of returning, add a Token, be used for distinguishing the corresponding different I MPU of same IMSI.
IMS Core returns session to UE and sets up successful 200OK.
Step 105, through the authority issuing message, process is issued BM-SC with the interface of BM-SC to IMS Core with User IP TV authentication information.
Step 106, UE is receiving that session sets up successfully the back and start a timer, waiting timer is overtime.
Step 107, behind the timer expiry, UE sends multicast service to BM-SC and joins request.If in receiving 200OK, contain Token, during joining request, this multicast service need carry this Token.
Step 108, the IMSI of the last inspection of BM-SC UE and the corresponding relation of its IPTV authority in case of necessity, need to use IMSI and Token to confirm the authentication information of IMPU together, carry out authentication.
Step 109, after the authentication success, multicast service is set up successfully, the beginning transfer of data.
In the embodiments of the invention one; Except on HSS or SCF similar solid, disposing the method for IMSI, IMPU and corresponding IPTV service authority thereof; Can also go up directly configuration IMSI and corresponding IPTV service authority at BM-SC (broadcast multicast service center); Need have the mapping relations of IMSI and IMPU this moment on HSS and SCF similar solid, also can directly on BM-SC, dispose the corresponding relation of IMSI, IMPU and authority.
In embodiments of the invention one step 104, taked on the SCF/HSS similar solid, to dispose IMSI, the method for IMPU and corresponding IPTV service authority thereof when session is set up, is set up the method that returns to IMS Core in the process by the SCF/HSS similar solid in session.After can certainly receiving that multicast service joins request through BM-SC, directly from and the SCF/HSS similar solid between interface obtain IPTV service authority information; Perhaps the SCF/HSS similar solid is directly given BM-SC with IPTV service authority information PUSH, needs this moment the SCF/HSS similar solid can be addressed to BM-SC, and has interface between the two; Perhaps when BM-SC receives that multicast service joins request, in real time from SCF/HSS similar solid PULL IPTV service authority information.
Obtained APN address and multicast address information in embodiments of the invention one step 101 in the service discovering process, can certainly set up process, when SCF returns 200OK, obtained APN address and multicast address information through session.
Embodiments of the invention one can cause BM-SC when receiving that user's multicast service joins request owing to there is not strict sequential relationship between step 105 and the step 107, might also not obtain User IP TV service authority information.Therefore after UE receives that session is set up successfully, the multicast service of redispatching of waiting for a period of time joins request; Perhaps adopt IMS Core elder generation sending permission issuing message, and after receiving the response of BM-SC, the session of redispatching is set up successfully and is solved sequence problem to UE; Perhaps, after BM-SC receives that the multicast service of UE joins request, do not handle at once, wait for a period of time, after receiving User IP TV service authority information, just carry out authentication; Perhaps, when UE finds that the adding multicast service is unsuccessful, resend multicast service and join request.
In the embodiments of the invention one, in step 104, in 105,107 and 108, it is related with the authorization check that joins request to multicast service that carries out at BM-SC to use Token that session is handled, and has realized user's the many session abilities of many IMPU.
