A kind of transmission method of multicast control channel information and equipment thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) system, particularly the transmission method of a kind of multicast control channel (Multicast Control Channel, MCCH) information and equipment thereof.
Background technology
Along with the fast development of Internet and the universal of large-screen multi-functional mobile phone, a large amount of Mobile data multimedia service and various high bandwidth multimedia service are there is, such as, video conference, television broadcasting, video request program, advertisement, online education, interactive game etc., this meets the business demand that mobile subscriber constantly rises on the one hand, simultaneously also for mobile operator brings new business growth point.The multiple user of these Mobile data multimedia service requirements can receive identical data simultaneously, compared with general data service, has the features such as data volume is large, duration length, delay sensitive.
In order to effectively utilize mobile network resource, third generation partner program (3rd GenerationPartnership Project, referred to as 3GPP) propose multimedia broadcast multi-broadcasting business (MultimediaBroadcast Multicast Service, MBMS) business, this business is a kind of technology transmitting data from a data source to multiple target, achieve sharing of network (comprising core net and Access Network) resource, improve the utilance of Internet resources (especially air interface resource).The MBMS of 3GPP definition can not only realize classes of messages multicast and the broadcast of plain text low rate, but also broadcast and the multicast of high-speed multimedia service can be realized, multiple abundant video, audio frequency and multimedia service are provided, this has complied with the trend of following Mobile data development undoubtedly, and the development for 3G provides better business prospect.
In LTE, Logical Traffic Channels (the Multicast traffic Channel of MBMS, MTCH) and MCCH can adopt MBSFN (Multicast/Broadcast over Single FrequencyNetwork, multicast/multicast single-frequency network network) sending mode, adopt the MBMS of this sending mode also referred to as MBSFN business, adopt MTCH and MCCH of MBSFN sending mode, namely MTCH and MCCH of MBMS multiple cell transmission is adopted can to adopt identical modulating-coding form in multiple community, adopt identical physical resource generation identical content, the feature of MBMS multiple cell transmission: 1) transmit in the inter-sync of MBSFN region, 2) support that multiple cell MBMS transmission merges, 3) MTCH and MCCH is mapped on MCH (Multicast Chnanel, Multicast Channel) transmission channel under p-t-m (point-to-multipoint) pattern, 4) MBSFN retaining zone, MBSFN region, MBSFN transmission, advertisement and reservation community are by the semi-static configuration of Operation and Maintenance.UE (the Userequipment of multiple like this community, subscriber equipment) the identical MBMS data of multiple content (comprising MTCH and MCCH) can be received and carry out SFN (VON voice network) merging, thus the gain of Received signal strength can be improved.Adopt identical physical resource and constitute a MBSFN region with multiple communities of MBSFN sending mode transmission same MBMS business.In the LTE networking of reality, a MBSFN region comprises multiple community, possess the data channel MTCH of multiple MBSFN business in identical MBSFN region, and the control channel MCCH of MBSFN business can be multiplexed into a MCH.The MCCH in identical MBSFN region and multiple MTCH, namely many logic channels can be mapped on same transmission channel MCH;
MCCH carries the control signal of MBMS, carry the configuration information of all MTCH in the message on MCCH, UUE can read the MTCH configuration information on MCCH, to find which resource interested MTCH is configured in.Therefore, the UE in community, in order to read the MBMS on MTCH, first must read MCCH.The MCCH transmission cycle comprises the MCCH repetition period and MCCH revises the cycle, the MCCH message after the MCCH cycle of revising can send renewal, and repeatedly can only send identical MCCH message in the MCCH repetition period.
In LTE, the transmission MCCH of the control signal MCCH of MBMS can send by single cell pattern, be mapped to DSCH Downlink Shared Channel (DL-SCH, Downlink Shared Channel) upper transmission, and be finally mapped to physical channel PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared channel, Physical Downlink Shared Channel) on, MBSFN merging is not carried out with adjacent cell, also multiple cell pattern can be adopted to send, be mapped on MCH and transmit, and be finally mapped on physical channel PMCH (Physical Multicast Channel), and adjacent cell carries out MBSFN merging.In LTE Release 9 (version 9), MCCH only has 1, and is carried on as MTCH on MCH, also finally as MTCH is carried on PMCH, in a MBSFN region, MCCH message carries the control information of all MBSFN business.
At present, network side, such as Node B (Node B), eNB (Evolved Node B, the Node B improved), RNC (radio network controller, radio network controller), relay node (via node), UTRAN (Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, universal land radio access web), E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio AccessNetwork, the universal land radio access web improved) and E-UTRA (Evolved UniversalTerrestrial Radio Access, the general land wireless access improved) etc., MBMS informing mechanism (MBMS Notification mechanism) can be configured, namely when MCCH information updating, network side configuration MBMS Notification, like this, UE can periodically receive MCCH message, only monitoring MCCH Notification, when the MCCH Notification only monitored indicating the content update in MCCH message, UE just can receive MCCH message further.
In LTE, MBMS notice (MBMS Notification) mechanism of network side configuration, the control domain at some unicast sub-frame can be adopted, namely the Network Temporary Identifier RNTI (RadioNetwork Temporary Identifier) of a MCCH is configured in physical downlink control channel PDCCH (PhysicalDownlink Control Channel), namely MCCH-RNTI, identifies MBMSNotification; Also can configure a specific identifier and identify MBMSNotification on PDCCH.Accordingly, UE is according to the principle of arranging in advance, and monitoring may carry the subframe of MCCHNotification, such as, each control information unit possible in the control domain of some unicast sub-frame of UE blind check, and judge whether the RNTI in unicast sub-frame control domain is MCCH-RNTI.If so, then represent that MCCH message has renewal, UE will read MCCH message further, if not, then represent MCCH message, UE does not need to read MCCH message.And for UE, it can only monitor MBMS Notification, only have when monitoring MBMS Notification, UE just can read MCCH information further.
Wherein, each MBMS has session start (session start), session updates (sessionupdated), conversation end (session stop), also likely comprises the change of the MTCH configuration parameter of this MBMS.Because there is multiple MBMS in each MBSFN region, namely many MTCH are had, with a MCCH, the session start of each MBMS, conversation end or the change of MTCH configuration parameter can cause the renewal of MCCH message, so, the update times of MCCH message can be very many, and can only could send in the MCCH cycle of revising the MCCH message upgraded.Can find out like this, the renewal of each MCCH message all can configure MBMSNotification on unicast sub-frame, thus causes the occurrence number of MBMS Notification very many.
