Background technology
MBMS in Long Term Evolution (LTE, Long Term Evolution) system is otherwise known as the multimedia broadcast-multicast service (eMBMS, evolved MBMS) of evolution, and its major function realizes broadcast and multicast service in LTE system.
Multimedia broadcast-multicast service Single Frequency Network (MBSFN, Multimedia Broadcast multicastservice Single Frequency Network) transmission (MBSFN Transmission), be a kind of simulcast transmission technology, transmit consistent signal waveform in multiple community simultaneously.As shown in Figure 1, several basic conceptions that MBMS is relevant are described below:
MBSFN retaining zone (MBSFN Synchronization Area): all evolved base station (eNodeB) all can obtain synchronously, and the region performing MBSFN transmission.
MBSFN region (MBSFNArea): one group of community in a MBSFN area containing network in a MBSFN retaining zone.
MBSFN territory sends/notices community (MBSFN Area Transmitting and Advertising Cell): the class community in MBSFN region, has both participated in MBSFN and has sent the notice also participating in MBSFN transmission availability in community.
Transmission community, MBSFN region (MBSFN Area Transmitting-Only Cell): the class community in MBSFN region, it only participates in MBSFN transmission and does not participate in the notice of MBSFN transmission availability in community.
Reservation community, MBSFN region (MBSFNArea Reserved Cell) a: community in MBSFN region, it does not participate in MBSFN and sends.
MBMS transmission can be divided into multiple cell to transmit and single cell transmission, and multiple cell transmission adopts MBSFN transmission, and single cell transmission adopts point-to-multipoint (PTM, point-to-multipoint) transmission.MBMS dedicated cell and MBMS/ clean culture (Unicast) mixed cell is divided into for the little of MBMS transmission, in MBMS dedicated cell, MBMS transmission business, and in MBMS/Unicast mixed cell, existing MBMS, also have Unicast business, the two transmits with cooperative mode.
Introduce the logic channel that eMBMS is relevant below
Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH, Broadcast Control Channel), for network to subscriber equipment (UE) broadcast system information.
Multicast control channel (MCCH, Multicast Control Channel), it is the down channel of point-to-multipoint (point-to-multipoint), for the control information that network is correlated with to UE MBMS transmission, a MCCH can correspond to one or more Logical Traffic Channels (MTCH, Multicast TrafficChannel); This channel only has the UE that can receive MBMS just can use.
The structure of MCCH follows following principle:
BCCH is used to indicate one or two main MCCH (Primary MCCH), as existence two Primary MCCH, a Primary MCCH is used for DSCH Downlink Shared Channel (DL-SCH, DownlinkShared Channel) on single cell transmission, one for the multiple cell transmission on Multicast Channel (MCH, Multicast Channel).If the upper existence of MCH time MCCH (Secondary MCCH), then the Primary MCCH on MCH also can point to the Secondary MCCH on MCH.Wherein, MCH belongs to transmission channel, and for supporting that the MBSFN of multiple cell transmits, MCCH and MTCH all can be mapped on MCH and transmit.DL-SCH belongs to transmission channel, can be used for supporting that single community PTM transmits, and when single community PTM transmits, MCCH and MTCH all can be mapped on DL-SCH and transmit.
BCCH only points to Primary MCCH can found resource, i.e. the availability of BCCH not indicating services.
Can be there is multiple MCCH in the MTCH-MBSFN region of multiple overlap, in this case, Secondary MCCH can be utilized to indicate different MBSFN regions.If only there is a MTCH-MBSFN, then only need a MCCH, i.e. Primary MCCH, if and have the MTCH-MBSFN region of multiple overlap, then in this region, except Primary MCCH, also need to adopt Secondary MCCH, so just different MBSFN regions can be separated.Such as, certain base station belongs to two overlapping MTCH-MBSFN regions, then in this region, need a PrimaryMCCH, a Secondary MCCH, the resource that base station utilizes BCCH to indicate Primary MCCH energy found, the resource that recycling Primary MCCH indicates Secondary MCCH energy found.
MTCH is a point-to-multipoint down channel, and for network to UE transferring MBMS service data, this channel only has the UE that can receive MBMS just can use.The information of MTCH is indicated by the MCCH of its correspondence.Network utilisation BCCH indicates MCCH to UE, and recycling MCCH indicates MTCH to UE, thus enables UE be received in the MBMS of carrying on MTCH.
Be in the UE of connection status owing to needing to measure the signal strength signal intensity of adjacent cell, therefore every 40 milliseconds (ms) or 80ms will have the measurement interval (Gap) of 6ms, can not receive data at measurement Gap period UE.
The cycle of measuring Gap is 40ms or 80ms, and the measurement Gap in each cycle is 6ms for Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) (FDD) system descending, upper behavior 7ms.The measurement Gap length of time division duplex (TDD) system, relevant with the position that the ascending-descending subframes of TDD system configured and measured Gap, when measure Gap comprise be up to down conversion point number be not less than downstream-to-upstream transfer point number time, measurement Gap is 6ms, when being up to down conversion point number and being less than downstream-to-upstream transfer point number, measurement Gap is 7ms.In measurement Gap, UE can not can not send upstream data by downlink data receiving.
Discontinuous reception (DRX, Discontinuous Reception) refer to subscriber equipment discontinuous reception descending scheduling and downlink data, when not needing downlink data receiving, subscriber equipment can be in dormancy (sleep) state, reaches the object of power saving.
As shown in Figure 2, when each DRX cycle starts, be introduced into an of short duration continuous accepting state (being called on duration), its duration is determined by duration timer in the periodicity configuration of DRX.The definition of Onduration timer is: continuous several descending sub frame of counting from DRX cycle starting point, and UE needs to monitor Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), to look into the Resourse Distribute seen if there is for this UE during this period.If subscriber equipment receives descending scheduling and downlink data during on duration, other timers will be started and carry out follow-up scheduling process, if but subscriber equipment does not receive descending scheduling and downlink data during on duration, dormancy (sleep) state will be entered, until could downlink data receiving again when the on duration timer of next DRX cycle starts.
In existing LTE system, self cannot be reported network side to the reception condition of MBMS by UE, thus causes network side according to the reception condition of UE to MBMS, to be UE configuration reasonably measurement Gap and DRX cycle etc.Such as, if the time that measurement Gap and the UE that network side is UE configuration receives MBMS conflicts mutually, owing to data can not be received at measurement Gap period UE, then the interruption of MBMS can be caused, that is, prior art cannot ensure the normal reception of UE to MBMS.
Embodiment
Embodiments provide a kind of information uploading method and device, the MBMS accepting state that the UE obtaining connection status in time in order to realize network side reports, thus make network side can reasonably measure the parameter informations such as the time of Gap and DRX to UE configuration, and ensure the normal reception of UE to MBMS.
In the embodiment of the present invention, no matter UE is in connection status or is in idle condition can receive MBMS.
Be in the UE of connection status owing to needing to measure the signal strength signal intensity of adjacent cell, therefore every 40ms or 80ms will have the measurement Gap of 6ms, data can not be received at measurement Gap period UE, therefore the MBMS subframe avoiding having UE needs to receive during measuring Gap is needed, and measurement Gap during outside, transmission UE needs the MBMS subframe received, thus the service disconnection avoiding measurement Gap to cause, improve user's impression.
The UE of connection status can also configure the time of DRX, to reduce the consumption of UE power, if network side knows which MBMS UE receives, just effectively can dispatch the UE of connection status, thus reduce the conflict of MBMS and other business, meanwhile, network side can also according to the reception condition of UE to MBMS, the DRX cycle of configuration UE and DRX activationary time, make UE farthest reduce the consumption of power.
If network side does not know whether UE receives MBMS, and in order to ensure that UE does not conflict to the normal reception of MBMS and measurement GAP, the measurement GAP of all UE can be configured in and not have in the radio frames of MBMS, but this can cause base station scheduling limited, reduce network throughput.
If network side obtains the MBMS accepting state that UE reports, then can go out UE according to this information inference and whether monitor MBSFN sub-frame, therefore, the UE monitoring MBSFN sub-frame can be dispatched to and there is no the MBSFN sub-frame of MBMS transmission to transmit unicast service.
Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention gives UE and how to report MBMS accepting state and network side how to obtain the technical scheme of the MBMS accepting state that UE reports, with the MBMS accepting state making network side can be reported by UE, determine currently receiving the UE of MBMS and the current UE not receiving MBMS, for different UE configuration reasonably measures Gap, and the relevant parameter etc. of DRX, not only can improve the quality of reception of MBMS, reduce base station to limit the scheduling of radio frames resource, increase network throughput, the power consumption of UE can also be saved.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the technical scheme that the embodiment of the present invention provides is described.
See Fig. 3, a kind of information getting method that the embodiment of the present invention provides comprises:
S101, UE, according to the current MBMS whether receiving network side and sending, generate MBMS accepting state.
Wherein, described MBMS accepting state, is used to indicate whether UE is current receives MBMS.
The MBMS accepting state of current generation is reported base station by S102, UE.
Provide concrete explanation explanation below.
The embodiment of the present invention provides base station respectively and obtains by physical layer, medium education (MAC) layer or wireless heterogeneous networks (RRC) layer the scheme of MBMS accepting state that UE reports, thus the situation making base station whether can receive MBMS according to UE carrys out the parameters such as reasonable disposition GAP.
Physical layer mode:
When UE forwards connection status to, network side can be UE configure dedicated state reporting resource, for reporting MBMS accepting state.This single user state reports resource can be independently private resource, also can be a part of resource marked off from current existing specific schedule request (D-SR) resource.
Current D-SR is the upper transmission of row control channel (PUCCH) physically, and system can configure the cycle sending D-SR to UE, and sends D-SR on which PUCCH in this cycle.The cycle such as configuring D-SR is 20 milliseconds (ms), and sends D-SR on the 60th PUCCH of the 3rd subframe of first radio frames of this 20ms.
Therefore, if UE adopts D-SR resource to send MBMS accepting state to base station, just need to divide into groups to D-SR resource, one group for sending D-SR, another group is used for reporting MBMS accepting state.Such as: the cycle of configuration D-SR resource is 20ms, and MBMS accepting state is sent on the 60th PUCCH of the 3rd subframe of first radio frames of this 20ms, group result is: the 2nd, 4,6...... MBMS accepting state should be sent when even number 20ms, and the D-SR of UE should be sent when the 1st, 3,5.... odd number 20ms.UE can send MBMS accepting state when the 2nd 20ms, for representing that UE receives MBMS, next often a MBMS accepting state is sent, represent that MBMS accepting state changes once, that is the MBMS accepting state of UE second time transmission, represents that UE stops receiving MBMS.
MAC layer mode:
The MBMS accepting state adopting MAC layer mode to obtain UE to report, then need a up MAC CE to represent whether UE receives MBMS.As shown in Figure 4, reservation (received) position that can arrange wherein is that 1 expression UE receives MBMS, and received position is that 0 expression UE stops receiving MBMS, does not namely currently receive MBMS.
After having designed this MAC CE, also need to configure a Logic Channel Identifier (LCID) to this MAC CE, be used to indicate this MAC CE be one for report MBMS accepting state MBMS change report (MBMS change report).The LCID value that LCID can adopt one to retain, as shown in Table 1 below, can adopt 11001 as the LCID index of this MAC CE.
