Below in conjunction with Figure of description the embodiment of the invention is described in further detail.
As shown in Figure 2, the embodiment of the invention determines that the system of the subframe that MCH takies comprises: network equipment 10 and user terminal 20.
Network equipment 10, the MBSFN subframe that is used for taking according to MCH generates MSAP information corresponding to MCH in the position of radio frames set, sends the MSAP information that generates to user terminal 20.
User terminal 20 is used for the MSAP information according to the network equipment 10 of receiving, determines the MBSFN subframe in the radio frames that MCH corresponding to MSAP information take.
As shown in Figure 3, the network equipment of the embodiment of the invention comprises: generation module 100 and sending module 110.
Generation module 100, the MBSFN subframe that is used for taking according to MCH generates MSAP information corresponding to MCH in the position of radio frames set.
Sending module 110 is used for sending the MSAP information that generation module generates to user terminal, and indicating user terminal is determined the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies according to MSAP information.
In specific implementation process, radio frames is divided into a plurality of radio frames set, comprise at least one MBSFN radio frames in the radio frames set, the quantity of the MBSFN radio frames in each radio frames set is identical.There are what MBSFN radio frames to set as required in the concrete radio frames set, what follow such as present MBSFN sub-frame allocation is the bitmap mode, be single radio frames bitmap or 4 continuous radio frames bitmap, then can in the set of setting wireless frame 1 MBSFN radio frames or 4 continuous radio frames be arranged.
What MBSFN subframes concrete MCH takies, and the MBSFN subframe which radio frames set MCH takies in can be set as required.
Such as: if the information content that MCH itself comprises is less, can be placed in the MBSFN subframe, then for the FDD/TDD system, can set it and use single radio frames bitmap mode, be placed on the subframe 3 of this radio frames.
Wherein, according to the position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that MCH takies, the mode of the MSAP information that generation MCH is corresponding has a variety of, and the below enumerates four kinds.
Mode one, bitmap mode.This mode uses the bitmap mode of the single radio frames (6bit) consistent with the MBSFN sub-frame allocation or continuous four radio frames (24bit) to represent MSAP information.
Concrete, generation module 100 is determined a bitmap corresponding to MCH, wherein the bit quantity of a bitmap equals the bit quantity of the 2nd bitmap of radio frames set;
The position of the MBSFN subframe that takies according to MCH in the radio frames set, determine that each MBSFN subframe that MCH takies is at bit corresponding to the 2nd bitmap, and adjust the parameter of a bitmap same bits position, the MBSFN subframe corresponding to Parametric Representation of bit is the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies after adjusting;
With the bitmap after adjusting as MSAP information.
The below enumerates an embodiment mode one is described.
Shown in Fig. 4 A, suppose LTE FDD system, the wireless frame period of MBSFN sub-frame allocation is 20ms, radio frames skew (offset) is 0.The 2nd bitmap:011011 (being that subframe 2,3,7 and 8 is MBSFN subframes) of radio frames set, above information is present among the SIB2.
Generation module 100 is determined a bitmap corresponding to MCH, because the bit quantity of the 2nd bitmap is 6, then the amount of bits of a bitmap also is 6.
The position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that generation module 100 takies according to MCH, determine that each MBSFN subframe that MCH takies is at bit corresponding to the 2nd bitmap, be that the position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that MCH takies is subframe 3 and 8, corresponding bit is respectively the 3rd and the 6th in 011011.
Generation module 100 is adjusted the parameter of a bitmap same bits position, namely adjusts the parameter of the 3rd and the 6th bit among the bitmap, and the bitmap after then adjusting is 001001.
Since network side can be first with the wireless frame period of MBSFN sub-frame allocation, radio frames skew the 0 and the 2nd bitmap informing user terminal, so user terminal is received a bitmap (001001) afterwards, just know that subframe 3 and 8 is MBSFN subframes that MCH takies, then by monitoring subframe 3 and 8, just can receive the MBMS business.
Only has a MBSFN radio frames in the radio frames set among Fig. 4 A, if a plurality of MBSFN radio frames are arranged, the then corresponding increase of the amount of bits of a bitmap and the 2nd bitmap meeting only has the mode of a MBSFN radio frames similar in other mode and the radio frames set, repeats no more.
Mode two, delta bitmap (incremental bit mapping) mode.This mode is on the bitmap basis of MBSFN sub-frame allocation, carries out increment bitmap for the MBSFN subframe that is used for MBMS.
Concrete, generation module 100 is determined increment bitmap corresponding to MCH, wherein the bit quantity of increment bitmap equals actual bit quantity corresponding to MBSFN subframe that is used for MBMS of using among the 2nd bitmap of radio frames set, and the actual bit for the MBSFN subframe of MBMS that uses is corresponding one by one among the bit of increment bitmap and the 2nd bitmap;
The position of the MBSFN subframe that takies according to MCH in the radio frames set, determine that each MBSFN subframe that MCH takies is at bit corresponding to the 2nd bitmap, and adjust the parameter of bit corresponding among the increment bitmap, the MBSFN subframe corresponding to Parametric Representation of bit is the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies after adjusting;
With the increment bitmap after adjusting as MSAP information.
The below enumerates an embodiment mode one is described.
Shown in Fig. 4 A, suppose LTE FDD system, the wireless frame period of MBSFN sub-frame allocation is 20ms, radio frames skew (offset) is 0.The 2nd bitmap:011011 (being that subframe 2,3,7 and 8 is MBSFN subframes) of radio frames set, above information is present among the SIB2.
Generation module 100 is determined increment bitmap corresponding to MCH, because actual bit quantity corresponding to MBSFN subframe of using is 4 (to be subframe 2 among the 2nd bitmap, 3,7 and 8 is MBSFN subframes), so the bit quantity of increment bitmap also is 4, and the bit of the actual MBSFN subframe of using is corresponding one by one among the bit of increment bitmap and the 2nd bitmap, it is the 2nd bit of corresponding the 2nd bitmap of the 1st bit of increment bitmap, the 3rd bit of corresponding the 2nd bitmap of the 2nd bit of increment bitmap, the 5th bit of corresponding the 2nd bitmap of the 3rd bit of increment bitmap, the 6th bit of corresponding the 2nd bitmap of the 4th bit of increment bitmap.
The position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that generation module 100 takies according to MCH, determine that each MBSFN subframe that MCH takies is at bit corresponding to the 2nd bitmap, be that the position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that MCH takies is subframe 3 and 8, corresponding bit is respectively the 3rd and the 6th in 011011.
Generation module 100 is adjusted the parameter of bit corresponding among the increment bitmap, namely adjusts the parameter of the 2nd and the 4th bit among the bitmap, and the increment bitmap after then adjusting is 0101.
Since network side can be first with the wireless frame period of MBSFN sub-frame allocation, radio frames skew the 0 and the 2nd bitmap informing user terminal, so user terminal is received increment bitmap (0101) afterwards, just know that subframe 3 and 8 is MBSFN subframes that MCH takies, then by monitoring subframe 3 and 8, just can receive the MBMS business.
Only has a MBSFN radio frames in the radio frames set among Fig. 4 A, if a plurality of MBSFN radio frames are arranged, the then corresponding increase of the amount of bits of increment bitmap and the 2nd bitmap meeting only has the mode of a MBSFN radio frames similar in other mode and the radio frames set, repeats no more.
If the actual MBSFN subframe of using is less than available MBSFN subframe, the bit number that the bit number that then increment bitmap takies in the mode two will take less than a bitmap in the mode one.Compare mode one, mode two can be saved the data volume of transmission, improves efficiency of transmission.
Mode three, number of sub-frames and order information.This mode is on the basis of MBSFN sub-frame allocation, provides the shared number of sub-frames of MCH and order information.
Concrete, generation module 100 is according to the position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that MCH takies, and determine order information and take the quantity of MBSFN subframe, and with order information with take the quantity of MBSFN subframe as MSAP information.
User terminal just can according to the order information of receiving, be determined N the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies, the quantity that takies the MBSFN subframe that wherein N equals to receive from the radio frames set.
Wherein, order information can be from front to back, also can be from back to front, can also be other order, and specifically what sequentially is that the position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that take with MCH is relevant.
The position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that takies such as MCH is the first two MBSFN subframe, and then order information is from front to back, after then user terminal is received MSAP information, just knows that the first two MBSFN subframe is the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies.
The below enumerates an embodiment mode one is described.
Shown in Fig. 4 B, suppose LTE FDD system, the wireless frame period of MBSFN sub-frame allocation is 20ms, radio frames skew (offset) is 0.The 2nd bitmap:011011 (being that subframe 2,3,7 and 8 is MBSFN subframes) of radio frames set, above information is present among the SIB2.
Generation module 100 is determined order information and the quantity that takies the MBSFN subframe according to the position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that MCH takies.Because be that the position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that MCH takies is the first two MBSFN subframe (being subframe 2 and 3), then order information is from front to back, the quantity that takies the MBSFN subframe is 2.
Since network side can be first with the wireless frame period of MBSFN sub-frame allocation, radio frames skew the 0 and the 2nd bitmap informing user terminal, so user terminal is received order information and is taken after the quantity of MBSFN subframe, just know that subframe 2 and 3 is MBSFN subframes that MCH takies, then by monitoring subframe 2 and 3, just can receive the MBMS business.
Only have a MBSFN radio frames in the set of radio frames among Fig. 4 B, have the mode of a plurality of MBSFN radio frames to only have the mode of a MBSFN radio frames similar in gathering with radio frames, repeat no more.
Mode 4, number of sub-frames.This mode is on the basis of MBSFN sub-frame allocation, provides the shared number of sub-frames of MCH.
Concrete, generation module 100 determines to take the quantity of MBSFN subframe according to the position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that MCH takies, and will take the quantity of MBSFN subframe as MSAP information.
User terminal can according to predefined order information, be determined N the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies, the quantity that takies the MBSFN subframe that wherein N equals to receive from the radio frames set.
Mode 4 is similar with mode 3, and difference is that 4 of modes will take the quantity informing user terminal of MBSFN subframe, and order information sets in advance in network equipment and user terminal.
Such as, in agreement, set order information, also can be network equipment and the user terminal rear definite order information of holding consultation.
User terminal just can determine that according to predefined order information and the quantity that takies the MBSFN subframe of receiving concrete which MBSFN subframe is the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies like this.
Mode 4 is less than mode 3 in the data volume in when transmission, but because order information is predefined, so the flexibility when selecting MCH to take which MBSFN subframe does not have mode 3 flexible.
In specific implementation process, can select as required a kind of mode in the upper type to generate MSAP information.
Need to prove, above 4 kinds of modes just illustrate, the embodiment of the invention is not limited to above-mentioned 4 kinds of modes, other MBSFN subframe that can take according to MCH positions in the radio frames set, and the mode that generates MSAP information corresponding to MCH all is suitable for the embodiment of the invention.
Wherein, sending module 100 can send MSAP information to user terminal by a kind of in the following manner:
MSAP information is placed in RRC (Radio Resource Control, the Radio Resource control) message, send (namely can increase the special-purpose SIB of a MBMS newly or expand existing SIB) by BCCH;
MSAP information is placed RRC message, send by MCCH.
Need to prove, the embodiment of the invention is not limited to above-mentioned two kinds of send modes, and other can all be suitable for the embodiment of the invention to the mode that user terminal sends MSAP information.
Wherein, the transmission cycle of MCH and side-play amount (offset) can be by explicit or implicit notices.
If explicit way then sends after transmission cycle, side-play amount and the binding of MSAP information of sending module 110 with MCH;
Corresponding user terminal is determined the MBSFN subframe that corresponding MCH takies according to transmission cycle, side-play amount and the MSAP information received.
Transmission cycle and side-play amount with the MBSFN radio frames is identical respectively if the transmission cycle of MCH is with side-play amount, then can adopt implicit, and namely 110 of sending modules send MSAP information, do not send transmission cycle and the side-play amount of MCH;
Accordingly, after user terminal is received MSAP information, transmission cycle and the side-play amount with the MBSFN radio frames is identical respectively with side-play amount just to know the transmission cycle of MCH, the transmission cycle of the MBSFN radio frames during then user terminal is gathered radio frames and side-play amount are as transmission cycle and the side-play amount of MCH, and according to transmission cycle, the side-play amount of MCH and the MSAP information of receiving, determine the MBSFN subframe that corresponding MCH takies.
If employing mode one (bitmap) generates MSAP information, then the RRC signaling format is as follows:
1) wireless frame period and the skew (offset) of demonstration instruct MS AP:
2) wireless frame period of implicit expression instruct MS AP and skew (offset):
If employing mode two (increment bitmap) generates MSAP information, then the RRC signaling format is as follows:
1) wireless frame period and the skew (offset) of demonstration instruct MS AP:
2) wireless frame period of implicit expression instruct MS AP and skew (offset):
If employing mode three or mode four generate MSAP information, then the RRC signaling format is as follows:
1) wireless frame period and the skew (offset) of demonstration instruct MS AP:
2) wireless frame period of implicit expression instruct MS AP and skew (offset):
MSAP-SubframeConfig::=SEQUENCE{
subframeAllocation INTEGER(1..24)
}
Because MCCH and MTCH all can be mapped to the upper transmission of MCH, and a plurality of MBMS can occur and carry out simultaneously, so the situation that a plurality of MCH need to take the MBSFN subframe might occur.
Wherein, a plurality of MCH can take the different MBS FN subframe in the same radio frames set; Also can a plurality of MCH take the MBSFN subframe in the set of different radio frame; Can also part MCH take the different MBS FN subframe in the same radio frames set, all the other MCH take the MBSFN subframe in the set of different radio frame.Concrete which kind of mode that adopts can be selected as required.
If a plurality of MCH take the different MBS FN subframe in the set of same radio frames, then each MCH MBSFN subframe sum that need to take can not be greater than the quantity of the MBSFN subframe in the individual radio frames set.
Because each MCH can corresponding MSAP information, so if a plurality of MCH are arranged, generation module 100 will generate a plurality of MSAP information, corresponding sending module 110 will send a plurality of MSAP information to user terminal.In order to allow user terminal can identify corresponding which MCH of which MSAP information, the networking side apparatus of the embodiment of the invention can further include: processing module 120.
Processing module 120 is used for after generation module 100 generates the MSAP information, and sending module 110 sends before the MSAP information, and the sign of MCH is placed MSAP information corresponding to this MCH, and indicating user terminal is determined MCH corresponding to MSAP information according to sign.
Such as two MCH are arranged, be respectively MCCH and MTCH, then processing module 120 sign that MCCH is corresponding places MSAP information corresponding to MCCH, and the sign that MTCH is corresponding places MSAP information corresponding to MTCH.
Accordingly, user terminal can be according to sign and the corresponding relation of channel, determines the channel of the sign correspondence received, thereby just knows what channel of MSAP information correspondence.
In specific implementation process, the corresponding relation of sign and channel can be generated and sent to user terminal by processing module 120, and such as increasing a MCH, processing module 120 is just distributed a sign for this MCH and set up the corresponding relation of sign and channel.The corresponding relation that processing module 120 can be set up a sign and channel just sends one to user terminal; After can waiting until that also the MCH increase is complete, all signs of setting up and the corresponding relation of channel are sent to user terminal.
The corresponding relation of sign and channel can also be to be set in advance in network equipment and the user terminal, (or calling for network equipment and user terminal in other equipment), processing module 120 can be determined the sign that MCH is corresponding according to the corresponding relation of sign and channel, then this sign is placed MSAP information corresponding to this MCH.

Concrete, network side is according to the position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that MCH takies, and determine order information and take the quantity of MBSFN subframe, and with order information with take the quantity of MBSFN subframe as MSAP information.
Accordingly, user terminal is determined N the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies, the quantity that takies the MBSFN subframe that wherein N equals to receive according to the order information of receiving from the radio frames set.
Wherein, order information can be from front to back, also can be from back to front, can also be other order, and specifically what sequentially is that the position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that take with MCH is relevant.
The position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that takies such as MCH is the first two MBSFN subframe, and then order information is from front to back, after then user terminal is received MSAP information, just knows that the first two MBSFN subframe is the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies.
The specific embodiment of mode three can be referring to Fig. 4 B, particular content can referring in the embodiment of the invention network equipment for the explanation of mode three, do not repeat them here.
Only have a MBSFN radio frames in the set of radio frames among Fig. 4 B, have the mode of a plurality of MBSFN radio frames to only have the mode of a MBSFN radio frames similar in gathering with radio frames, repeat no more.
Mode 4, number of sub-frames.This mode is on the basis of MBSFN sub-frame allocation, provides the shared number of sub-frames of MCH.
Concrete, network side determines to take the quantity of MBSFN subframe according to the position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that MCH takies, and will take the quantity of MBSFN subframe as MSAP information.
Accordingly, user terminal is determined N the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies, the quantity that takies the MBSFN subframe that wherein N equals to receive according to predefined order information from the radio frames set.
Mode 4 is similar with mode 3, and difference is that 4 of modes will take the quantity informing user terminal of MBSFN subframe, and order information sets in advance in network equipment and user terminal.
Such as, in agreement, set order information, also can be network equipment and the user terminal rear definite order information of holding consultation.
User terminal just can determine that according to predefined order information and the quantity that takies the MBSFN subframe of receiving concrete which MBSFN subframe is the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies like this.
Mode 4 is less than mode 3 in the data volume in when transmission, but because order information is predefined, so the flexibility when selecting MCH to take which MBSFN subframe does not have mode 3 flexible.
In specific implementation process, can select as required a kind of mode in the upper type to generate MSAP information.
Need to prove, above 4 kinds of modes just illustrate, the embodiment of the invention is not limited to above-mentioned 4 kinds of modes, other MBSFN subframe that can take according to MCH positions in the radio frames set, and the mode that generates MSAP information corresponding to MCH all is suitable for the embodiment of the invention.
Wherein, network side can send MSAP information to user terminal by a kind of in the following manner in the step 702:
MSAP information is placed RRC message, send (namely can increase the special-purpose SIB of a MBMS newly or expand existing SIB) by BCCH;
MSAP information is placed RRC message, send by MCCH.
Need to prove, the embodiment of the invention is not limited to above-mentioned two kinds of send modes, and other can all be suitable for the embodiment of the invention to the mode that user terminal sends MSAP information.
Wherein, the transmission cycle of MCH and side-play amount (offset) can be by explicit or implicit notices.
If explicit way then sends after transmission cycle, side-play amount and the binding of MSAP information of network side with MCH in the step 702;
Corresponding user terminal is determined the MBSFN subframe that corresponding MCH takies according to transmission cycle, side-play amount and the MSAP information received.
Transmission cycle and side-play amount with the MBSFN radio frames is identical respectively if the transmission cycle of MCH is with side-play amount, then can adopt implicit, and namely network side only sends MSAP information in the step 702, does not send transmission cycle and the side-play amount of MCH;
Accordingly, after user terminal is received MSAP information, transmission cycle and the side-play amount with the MBSFN radio frames is identical respectively with side-play amount just to know the transmission cycle of MCH, the transmission cycle of the MBSFN radio frames during then user terminal is gathered radio frames and side-play amount are as transmission cycle and the side-play amount of MCH, and according to transmission cycle, the side-play amount of MCH and the MSAP information of receiving, determine the MBSFN subframe that corresponding MCH takies.
The concrete form of RRC signaling can be referring to the corresponding contents of embodiment of the invention network equipment.
Because MCCH and MTCH all can be mapped to the upper transmission of MCH, and a plurality of MBMS can occur and carry out simultaneously, so the situation that a plurality of MCH need to take the MBSFN subframe might occur.
Wherein, a plurality of MCH can take the different MBS FN subframe in the same radio frames set; Also can a plurality of MCH take the MBSFN subframe in the set of different radio frame; Can also part MCH take the different MBS FN subframe in the same radio frames set, all the other MCH take the MBSFN subframe in the set of different radio frame.Concrete which kind of mode that adopts can be selected as required.
If a plurality of MCH take the different MBS FN subframe in the set of same radio frames, then each MCH MBSFN subframe sum that need to take can not be greater than the quantity of the MBSFN subframe in the individual radio frames set.
Because each MCH can corresponding MSAP information, so if a plurality of MCH are arranged, network side will generate a plurality of MSAP information in the step 701, network side will send a plurality of MSAP information to user terminal in the corresponding step 702.In order to allow user terminal can identify corresponding which MCH of which MSAP information, can further include before step 701 and the step 702:
Step a702, network side place MSAP information corresponding to this MCH with the sign of MCH, be used to indicate user terminal and determine that according to sign MCH corresponding to MSAP information is such as two MCH are arranged, respectively MCCH and MTCH, then among the step a702, the sign that network side is corresponding with MCCH places MSAP information corresponding to MCCH, and the sign that MTCH is corresponding places MSAP information corresponding to MTCH.
Accordingly, user terminal can be according to sign and the corresponding relation of channel, determines the channel of the sign correspondence received, thereby just knows what channel of MSAP information correspondence.
In specific implementation process, the corresponding relation of sign and channel can be generated and sent to user terminal by network side, and such as increasing a MCH, network side just distributes a sign for this MCH and sets up the corresponding relation of sign and channel.The corresponding relation that network side can be set up a sign and channel just sends one to user terminal; After can waiting until that also the MCH increase is complete, all signs of setting up and the corresponding relation of channel are sent to user terminal.
Sign and the corresponding relation of channel can also not be by the network side generation but predefined, the corresponding relation of predefined sign and channel can be notified to user terminal by network side, also can pre-save in user terminal (or calling for network side and user terminal in other equipment).
The specific embodiment of a plurality of MCH can be referring to Fig. 4 C, 4D and 4E, particular content can referring in the embodiment of the invention network equipment for the explanation of Fig. 4 C, 4D and 4E, do not repeat them here.
As shown in Figure 8, embodiment of the invention the second determines that the method for the subframe that MCH takies comprises the following steps:
Step 801, user terminal receive the MCH sub-frame allocation mode MSAP information from network side.
Wherein, the MSAP information position of MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that to be network side take according to MCH (concrete generating mode is determined the method related content of MCH referring to embodiment of the invention the first) that generate.
Step 802, user terminal be according to MSAP information, determines the MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that MCH corresponding to MSAP information take.
After the MBSFN subframe of determining the radio frames set Shen that MCH takies, user terminal is monitored the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies, and just can receive the MBMS business.
Concrete, user terminal judges whether to receive transmission cycle and the side-play amount of the MCH that binds with MSAP information in the step 802;
If so, then according to transmission cycle, side-play amount and the MSAP information received, the MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that definite corresponding MCH takies;
Otherwise, with the transmission cycle of MBSFN radio frames and side-play amount transmission cycle and the side-play amount as MCH, and according to transmission cycle, the side-play amount of MCH and the MSAP information of receiving, determine the MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that corresponding MCH takies.
If a plurality of MCH are arranged, user terminal also needs the corresponding relation according to sign and channel, determines the MCH of the sign correspondence in the MSAP information, thereby determines MCH corresponding to MSAP information.
Wherein, the generating mode of MSAP information is different, and the form of corresponding MSAP information is also different.
The generating mode of MSAP information can be referring to the corresponding contents of embodiment of the invention network equipment.
If employing mode one or mode two, then MSAP information is bitmap or increment bitmap, specifically can referring to the corresponding contents of Fig. 6 A and embodiment of the invention subscriber terminal equipment, not repeat them here.
If employing mode three or mode four, then MSAP information is number of sub-frames and order information or number of sub-frames, specifically can referring to the corresponding contents of Fig. 6 B and embodiment of the invention subscriber terminal equipment, not repeat them here.
Can find out from above-described embodiment: embodiment of the invention network side generates MCH sub-frame allocation mode MSAP information corresponding to MCH according to the position of Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network MBSFN subframe in the radio frames set that MCH takies; Network side sends MSAP information to user terminal, and indicating user terminal is determined the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies according to MSAP information.
Owing to can determine MSAP information, thereby can determine the MBSFN subframe that MCH takies according to MSAP information by indicating user terminal, and then in the LTE system, can realize the MBMS function, and the utilance and the user's experience that have improved Internet resources.
