Agreement IEEE 802.11r and 802.11f in the protocol suites of IEEE 802.11 are two kinds and WiFi/WLAN user are spouted quickly mobile and switching the agreement of row.However, the current ι and 802.11f of Ι Ε Ε Ε 802.11 do not support mobile multicast, which prevent the actual deployment of the agreements of IEEE 802.11.Exemplary description will be carried out for the agreements of IEEE 802.11 below.But it will be appreciated that following technical scheme can also be used for other agreements, such as WAP control and configuration(CAPWAP) agreement.
In an embodiment of the present invention, it is proposed that a kind of system for mobile multicast, as shown in figure 1, the system includes two access point apparatus(AP), a multicast agent and a mobile terminal(MS ).Art technology personnel should be understood that Fig. 1 is illustrative of the invention the schematic system diagram of embodiment, in the system of actual deployment, can have multiple AP, multiple multicast agents and multiple MS, the structure of system can also be more complicated.In the following description, it is assumed that API is the current AP that service is being provided for MS, and AP2 is the target AP that MS will be associated with again.
It also proposed a kind of access point apparatus(AP), as shown in Fig. 2 the AP includes AP Transmit-Receive Units 210, for receiving the request that MS is associated again.Judging unit 220 is associated, for judging whether whether the MS that request is associated again is associated in (RSNA) network using multicast service and current AP with target AP in same Robust Secure Network.MCB generation units 230, for generating multicast context block of information when the judged result of judging unit is associated all to be(MCB, multicast context block) MCB is that MS is made The information block that multicast service is described.
The AP also includes information extraction unit 240, in the case of being the target AP that MS will be associated with again in the AP, and the information relevant with multicast service is extracted from MCB(That is, the IPTV/ multicast informations in MCB)And according to the information, detect whether the AP has had the multicast group where the MS, if there is no, IGMP is then sent to the multicast agent of the network by AP Transmit-Receive Units 210 and adds message, to add the multicast group where the MS included in MCB.
The AP also includes multicast operation unit 250, for carrying out multicast operation, e.g., adds multicast group where MS.
The AP also includes associated operation unit 260, and in the case of being the target AP that MS will be associated with again in the AP, MS is associated again with the AP so that provide multicast service to MS by the AP.
A kind of multicast agent is additionally provided, as shown in figure 3, the multicast agent includes acting on behalf of Transmit-Receive Unit 310, for receiving the message transmitted by the target AP that MS will be associated with again(Such as, IGMP multicast join messages).Multicast creating unit 320, for MS to be added into the multicast group in advance according to the message received, i.e. the multicast group where MS is created for target AP.
Although the AP and multicast agent of the embodiment of the present invention are described in the form of the functional module of separation above, but each component shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 can realize that the multiple components shown can also be integrated in chip piece or an equipment in actual applications with multiple devices in actual applications.The AP and multicast agent may include any unit and device for other purposes.Component that can also be different in the different phase of multicast service uses AP described above, or be placed on different components in different equipment, for example, if AP is the current AP that service is being provided for MS, then using to be association judging unit 220 and MCB generation units 230, and if AP is target AP, then use information extraction unit 240, multicast operation unit 250 and associated operation unit 260, therefore, the component for needing to use can be only included in different equipment.
Below with reference to the mobile multicasting method shown in Fig. 4, above-described AP and multicast agent are described in detail.
Fig. 4 is the flow chart of the mobile multicasting method of the embodiment of the present invention.
In step 410, API (gp, MS current service AP) AP Transmit-Receive Units 210 receive the request associated again from MS. In step 420, API association judging unit 220 judges:1. MS now whether using multicast service and 2. API and target AP2 (that is, the target AP that MS will be associated with again) whether in same RSNA networks.
Walk rapid 420 judgement is 1. it is meant that following in the event of switching, such as when MS is switched to AP2 from API, MS IPTV/ multicast services also will switch seamlessly to AP2 from API.
If two above judge in have one it is invalid, flow proceeds to step 480, and MS is directly associated with into AP2 again.
If two above judges all to set up, the generation MCB of MCB generation units 230 that flow proceeds in step 430, API, and it is sent by AP Transmit-Receive Units 210 to AP2.
By taking the r/f agreements of IEEE 802.11 as an example, MCB can be defined to describe and the multicast information including MS.An example being defined to MCB has been illustrated below:
MCB <
MS MAC Address
Add the IP address of multicast group;,
The qos parameter of IPTV channel;
Security parameter etc.;
>
In this example, MCB includes the contents such as MS MAC Address, IP address, the qos parameter of IPTV channel of addition multicast group.However, it is to be emphasized that MCB size and content are not fixed, dynamic expansion can be carried out to MCB according to actual needs in other examples, with including more multicast informations and/or IPTV parameters.
And if MCB content only includes MS MAC Address, it means that the MS does not use any IPTV/ multicasts, therefore such MCB is invalid.
Referring back to Fig. 4, in step 440, AP2 AP Transmit-Receive Units 210 receive the MCB that API is sent, and information extraction unit 240 extracts the information relevant with multicast service included from the MCB(SP, IPTV/ multicast information).
In step 450, multicast group of the AP2 information extraction unit 240 according to where whether infomation detection AP2 has the MS. If it does not exist, then in step 400, the IGMP for sending standard to the multicast agent of the network by Α Ρ Transmit-Receive Units 210 adds message, to add the multicast group where the MS included in MCB.
Multicast creating unit 320 in multicast agent creates the multicast group where MS for target AP (that is, AP2), and to AP2 feedback results.Here multicast group, which is created, to be carried out according to the multicast group visioning procedure in specific agreement, be not further elaborated herein.
In step 470, the multicast operation unit 250 in AP2 after the feedback result of multicast agent according to multicast operation is carried out, and multicast operation here includes adding the conventional multicast operation such as multicast group, registration.Here feedback result can be the standard message in multicast service flow.
In step 480, MS is associated with AP2 by the associated operation unit 260 in AP2 again from API, and IPTV/ multicast services are provided so as to continue as MS by AP2.
The mobile multicasting method of the present invention is described using the lr of IEEE 802.1 and the If of IEEE 802.1 as example below.Example one
According to the lr of IEEE 802.1, resource information memory that can be embedded in the message of IEEE 802.11(RIC MCB is created in).Specific method can be that RIC is extended to carry the MCB transmitted by resource request message.In IEEE 802.11 RSNA, pair temporal key is being set up(PTK just exchange resource request and resource response, and resource request and resource response are protected by the integrity check of message after), to ensure MCB safety.IEEE 802.11r frame structures after MCB extends are as follows:
