}
That is to say that changing indication information is to generate according to the MBMS control information type that changes.Such as 3 MBMS control information types are arranged now, it is respectively a MBMS control information type, the 2nd MBMS control information type and the 3rd MBMS control information type, the one MBMS control information type is 001, the 2nd MBMS control information type 010, the 3rd MBMS control information type is 011, supposes that the 3rd MBMS control information type changes, and then changing indication information is 011; Suppose that the first and the 3rd MBMS control information type changes, then adjusted variation indication information is 001011.
Mapping or coded system can reduce the number of times that MCCH was monitored and read to user terminal under the very little situation of signaling consumption increase.
Wherein, the indication information sending module adopts a kind of the transmission to user terminal in the following manner to change indication information:
(a) will change indication information and place P-RNTI (Paging-Radio Network Temporary Identifier, paging-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) Dui Ying PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, downlink physical shared channel) goes up in the rrc layer Paging message of transmitting and sends;
(b) will change the rrc layer message that indication information places the pairing PDSCH of a RNTI to go up transmission and send, wherein a RNTI indicates whether to exist Paging and relevant RNTI that whether multicast control channel MCCH content changes simultaneously;
(c) will change indication information places the physical layer message of the last transmission of the 2nd RNTI corresponding physical downlink sharied signal channel PDSCH to send;
(d) will change indication information places the RRC message of the last transmission of PDSCH of the 2nd RNTI correspondence to send;
(e) will change DCI (descending control signaling) transmission that indication information places the 2nd RNTI correspondence;
The 2nd RNTI is irrelevant with paging message, be used to indicate whether the relevant RNTI that the MCCH content changes, can be expressed as MICH-RNTI (MBMS notification Indicator Channel-RNTI, MBMS informing indication channel-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) or MI-RNTI (MBMS notification Indicator-RNTI, MBMS notifies indication-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) etc.
Wherein, indicating whether to adopt a and b under the situation that the MCCH content changes with call signaling combines.
The main distinction of a and b is: have only one with the MCCH content relevant RNTI that whether changes in a, that is: P-RNTI changes indication information and realizes by increase new variable in original paging message; Can have three with the MCCH content relevant RNTI that whether changes in b, three the one RNTI are used to refer to respectively:
(1) paging but MCCH do not change; (2) paging and MCCH change; (3) MCCH changes not paging, when occur that indication MCCH changes RNTI the time, change indication information and realize by the new variable of increase in the RRC of correspondence message (can adopt the structure of similar paging message).
Under the situation that the 2nd RNTI that employing is independent of the paging signaling indicates MCCH to change, can adopt c, d and e.
The common ground of a and b is all relevant with paging message; The common ground of c, d and e is all irrelevant with paging message.
