Embodiment of the invention multicast control channel sending method and equipment, independently be mapped to MCCH on the physical channel, according to the repetition period of setting and modification cycle transmission MCCH, and by broadcast message notifying user equipment MCCH place subframe position, and the repetition period of MCCH and modification cycle.Correspondingly, embodiment of the invention multicast control channel method of reseptance and equipment are known MCCH place subframe by reading broadcast message, and the repetition period of MCCH and modification cycle; Obtain the physical channel of carrying MCCH; Each repetition period within the described modification cycle receives the physical channel of MCCH, and obtains the MCCH data of described MCCH place subframe in this repetition period from the physical channel of described MCCH; To described MCCH decoding data; If can be correctly decoded, then according to decoded data acquisition MBMS control information; If can not be correctly decoded, then the MCCH data in each repetition period that obtains in this modification cycle are carried out HARQ (mixed automatic retransfer request) mode and merge, obtain the MBMS control information.
As shown in Figure 3, be the flow chart of embodiment of the invention multicast control channel sending method, may further comprise the steps:
Step 301 independently is mapped to MCCH on the corresponding transmission channel;
Step 302 independently is mapped to described transmission channel on the corresponding physical channel;
Step 303, according to the repetition period of setting and modification cycle transmission MCCH, and by broadcast message notice UE MCCH place subframe position, and the repetition period of MCCH and modification cycle.
In embodiments of the present invention, the MCCH of different repetition periods transmissions can have identical or different redundant version number.Like this, the method for the embodiment of the invention also can further comprise: the redundant version number notice UE of the MCCH that each is sent repetition period.Specifically multiple implementation can be arranged, such as:
(1) in PDCCH, carries the redundant version number of the MCCH that each sends repetition period; Perhaps
(2) notify the UE redundant version number of the MCCH that each repetition period sends by high-level signaling;
(3) in advance the repetition period of MCCH transmission and the redundant version number of MCCH are bound.
In the LTE system, two kinds of MBMS send modes are arranged at present, a kind of is the send mode of single residential quarter, another kind is the send mode of many residential quarters.No matter for which kind of MBMS send mode, when carrying out the MCCH transmission, it is set in advance modification cycle and repetition period, MCCH Information invariability within the modification cycle, (but the version of each MCCH that sends can be identical, also can be different, different such as modulation system and/or coded system), and repeat to send with the repetition period.Like this, UE can receive repeatedly identical MCCH data within the modification cycle, thus the MCCH data that UE is received according to one or many, and decoding obtains the MBMS control information of MCCH carrying.
The below is elaborated to the embodiment of the invention multicast control channel sending method under this two send modes respectively.
1. single residential quarter send mode
In this manner, at first need independently to be mapped to MCCH on the DL-SCH, and then independently be mapped to DS-SCH on the PDSCH, according to the repetition period of setting and modification cycle transmission MCCH, and by broadcast message notice UE MCCH place subframe position, and the repetition period of MCCH and modification cycle.
If the version of the MCCH that each repetition period sends within the same modification cycle is different, then also need to make UE can know the redundant version number of the MCCH that each repetition period sends.Specifically can adopt following several mode:
(1) carries the redundant version number of MCCH by PDCCH.
PDCCH is Physical Downlink Control Channel, can be used for dispatching PDSCH, and PDCCH can carry different control informations, such as DCI format 1A (descending control information format 1A), DCI format 1C, DCI format 2 etc.Each DCI format has its purposes separately, can be used for carrying the control information of single current downlink data such as format 1A, and the control information of carrying is more complete, and format 1C also can be used for the control information of single current downlink data, but the control information of carrying is less.
Therefore, in embodiments of the present invention, can adopt the format 1A of PDCCH to transmit MCCH-RNTI (wireless network temporary sign), transmit the redundant version number that carries MCCH among the PDCCH at every turn.
(2) in advance the repetition period of MCCH transmission and the redundant version number of MCCH are bound
If adopt the format 1C of PDCCH to transmit MCCH-RNTI, then at this moment transmit the redundant version number that can not carry MCCH among the PDCCH at every turn.Therefore, the repetition period that can be in advance MCCH be sent and the redundant version number of MCCH be bound, and that is to say, set in advance the corresponding relation of the redundant version number of repetition period that identical MCCH sends and MCCH in network side and UE side.So that UE can be known the redundant version number of MCCH in each repetition period.
2. many residential quarters send mode
In this manner, at first need MCCH independently is mapped on the MCH, and then MCH independently is mapped on the P-MCH, according to the repetition period of setting and modification cycle transmission MCCH, and by broadcast message notice UE MCCH place subframe position, and the repetition period of MCCH and modification cycle.
If the version of the MCCH that each repetition period sends within the same modification cycle is different, then also need to make UE can know the redundant version number of the MCCH that each repetition period sends.Specifically can adopt following several mode:
(1) notifies the UE redundant version number of the MCCH that each repetition period sends by high-level signaling, such as the redundant version number of in BCCH, carrying MCCH.
(2) in advance the repetition period of MCCH transmission and the redundant version number of MCCH are bound.
No matter above-mentioned which kind of MBMS send mode, embodiment of the invention multicast control channel sending method is by independently being mapped to MCCH on the corresponding transmission channel; Described transmission channel independently is mapped on the corresponding physical channel; According to the repetition period of setting and modification cycle transmission MCCH, and by broadcast message notice UE MCCH place subframe position, and the repetition period of MCCH and modification cycle.Thereby can make UE in the situation that a MCCH can not be correctly decoded in receiving, can carry out HARQ to the MCCH that repeatedly receives in the same modification cycle and merge, obtain the merging gain of MCCH, improve the demodulation performance of MCCH.
Corresponding to the multicast control channel sending method that the embodiment of the invention provides, the embodiment of the invention also provides a kind of multicast control channel method of reseptance.
As shown in Figure 4, be the flow chart of this multicast control channel method of reseptance, may further comprise the steps:
Step 401 reads broadcast message and knows MCCH place subframe, and the repetition period of MCCH and modification cycle;
Step 402, the physical channel of acquisition carrying MCCH;
Step 403, each repetition period within the described modification cycle receives the physical channel of MCCH, and obtains the MCCH data of described MCCH place subframe in this repetition period from the physical channel of described MCCH;
Step 404 to described MCCH decoding data, and judges whether and can be correctly decoded; If so, execution in step 405 then; Otherwise, execution in step 406;
Step 405 is according to decoded data acquisition MBMS control information;
Step 406 is carried out the HARQ mode with the MCCH data in each repetition period that obtains in this modification cycle and is merged, and obtains the MBMS control information.
In embodiments of the present invention, merge in order to make things convenient for UE that the MCCH data in the different repetition periods are carried out HARQ, the dedicated cache district can be set, obtain putting it in this dedicated cache district after the MCCH data at every turn and go to decode.If be correctly decoded, the MBMS control information that then decoding is obtained is submitted to high level, then adopts new MCCH data to replace old MCCH data when data arrive in the next one modification cycle; If can not be correctly decoded, then can within this modification cycle, the MCCH the data HARQ of Different Weight in the multiple cycle be merged, obtain the MBMS control information by merging.
The front is mentioned, MCCH Information invariability within the modification cycle, but the version of each MCCH that sends can be identical, and also can be different.If different, then network side can be selected to make UE know the redundant version number of the MCCH of each transmission by multitude of different ways as required.Correspondingly, UE can be known by following any one mode the redundant version number of MCCH:
(1) obtains the redundant version number of the MCCH that each sends repetition period by PDCCH; Perhaps
(2) obtain the redundant version number of the MCCH that each sends repetition period by high-level signaling; Perhaps
(3) by the repetition period of in advance binding and the redundant version number of MCCH, obtain the redundant version number of the MCCH of each repetition period transmission.
Like this, UE is carrying out the HARQ mode when merging to the MCCH data in each repetition period, can adopt different HARQ modes to merge to the MCCH data of different redundant version number, certainly, also can adopt identical HARQ mode to merge, specifically can select according to using needs.
Equally, the below is elaborated for the embodiment of the invention multicast control channel method of reseptance under two kinds of MBMS send modes in the LTE system respectively.
1. single residential quarter send mode
In this manner, UE can know MCCH place subframe position by reading broadcast message, and the parameters such as the repetition period of MCCH, modification cycle, knows the MCCH that is of the upper carrying of PDSCH by monitoring MCCH-RNTI among the PDCCH.Then to the MCCH decoding data of the upper carrying of PDSCH, if be correctly decoded, the MBMS control information that then decoding is obtained is submitted to high level, then adopts new MCCH data to replace old MCCH data when data arrive in the next one modification cycle; If can not be correctly decoded, then can within this modification cycle, the MCCH the data HARQ of Different Weight in the multiple cycle be merged, obtain the MBMS control information by merging.
2, many residential quarters send mode
In this manner, UE can know MCCH place subframe position by reading broadcast message, and the frequency resource position, and the parameter such as repetition period of MCCH, modification cycle.UE receives the P-MCH that carries MCCH to described frequency resource position, with the MCCH data on this P-MCH be put into go in the dedicated cache district decoding, if be correctly decoded, the MBMS control information that then decoding is obtained is submitted to high level, then adopts new MCCH data to replace old MCCH data when data arrive in the next one modification cycle; If can not be correctly decoded, then can within this modification cycle, the MCCH the data HARQ of Different Weight in the multiple cycle be merged, obtain the MBMS control information by merging.
As seen, no matter above-mentioned which kind of MBMS send mode, embodiment of the invention multicast control channel method of reseptance, UE are after receiving the MCCH data, if can be correctly decoded, then according to decoded many MBMS of data acquisition control information; If can not be correctly decoded, then the MCCH data in each repetition period that obtains in this modification cycle are carried out the HARQ mode and merge, obtain the MBMS control information.Thereby can make UE take full advantage of the MCCH data, and obtain the merging gain of MCCH, improve the demodulation performance of MCCH.
