Below, at first some terms that occur among the present invention are explained simply.
MBSFN (Multimedia Broadcast Single Frequency Network, the multimedia broadcasting single frequency network): many Cell-Broadcast mode, under this pattern, the MBMS business datum is transmitted simultaneously by the air interface of the synchronous residential quarter of multichannel strict time.User terminal reception and merging are from the synchronizing signal of a plurality of residential quarters.In fact, if each transmission from a plurality of residential quarters arrives user terminal enough strictly synchronously in the Cyclic Prefix (CP) of symbol section start, then the MBSFN transmission is equivalent to the transmission from single large residential quarter for user terminal, and the user terminal receiver can be with treating many cell transmission with the multipath composition same way as of processing single cell transmission.
MBSFN area: also be that MBSFN is regional, be illustrated in upper a plurality of residential quarters, these zones and send identical content, also, carry out the MBSFN transmission, and user terminal carries out the MBSFN merging.In network, may have simultaneously a plurality of MBSFN zone, and a kind of MBMS business can be transmitted in a plurality of MBSFN zone.Simultaneity factor also is supported in the situation of a plurality of MBSFN region overlappings in the residential quarter.User terminal switches or the candidate cell of cell reselection may belong to the MBSFN zone different from Serving cell.
The MBSFN area identification: in some example, in order to switch or cell reselection, consider professional continuity, the MBSFN area information also needs.And for optimizing wireless resource utility efficiency, the MBSFN area information is the factor that must consider.Therefore, MBMS business information mutual between adjacent base station also must comprise the MBSFN area information, for example, and MBSFN area identification information.MBSFN area identification information is used to indicate the affiliated MBSFN zone, residential quarter of this base station jurisdiction.
MBSFN subframe: the subframe that is used for the MBSFN transmission.
MBMS service identification: the unique sign that is a kind of MBMS business in one network.It is professional that base station or user terminal can be distinguished different MBMS according to this MBMS service identification.
MBSFN subframe scheduling information, also be the MBMS service dispatching information: for the MBSFN subframe is used for unicast transmission, to improve wireless resource utility efficiency and to realize restriction with resource only to be confined between the neighbor cell and do not extend to the network that all MBSFN zones are formed, the scheduling of also need to be between the base station mutual actual MBSFN subframe is used for the information of the MBSFN transmission of MBMS business.
With reference to Fig. 1, in network, MBSFN zone generally includes a plurality of residential quarters by a plurality of base stations jurisdiction, and base station a is arranged in MBSFN zone 1 herein, and base station b is arranged in MBSFN zone 2, and base station c is arranged in MBSFN zone 3.Wherein, the residential quarter of base station a and base station c jurisdiction is adjacent, and therefore, base station a and base station c are adjacent base station.The residential quarter of base station b and base station c jurisdiction is adjacent, and therefore, base station b and base station c are adjacent base station.And the residential quarter of base station a and base station b jurisdiction is non-conterminous, and therefore, base station a and base station b are non-adjacent base station.Below, as the first base station, base station a, b are as the second base station with base station c.In the present embodiment, the adjacent base station of base station c only has 2, but in the actual network design, the number of the adjacent base station of base station c is not limited to 2, can be one, also can be a plurality of.
In the present embodiment, we describe as an example of the base station a, the b that are in the MBSFN zone, c example.Yet, consider the position of different user terminals in network, this user terminal can be arranged in the MBSFN zone, also can be positioned at outside the MBSFN zone, but its target switching cell (for the user terminal of RRC_ connection) or its re-selecting cell (for the user terminal of free time) are the MBSFN zones, therefore, the present invention is applicable to be in the base station in non-MBSFN zone too.Also namely, even the base station is in outside the MBSFN zone, this base station also needs the MBMS business information of adjacent residential quarter, to satisfy the purpose of business continuance.
For the residential quarter in those non-MBSFN zones adjacent with the residential quarter that is in the MBSFN zone, the residential quarter in these non-MBSFN zones also needs the scheduling of the MBSFN subframe of its adjacent residential quarter to be used for the information of MBSFN transmission.Then, the MBSFN subframe that can make a strategic decision and how use reservation in the residential quarter in these non-MBSFN zones, and avoid interference to existing MBSFN transmission.
Therefore, as long as the base station has the professional transmission of MBMS and belongs to the MBSFN zone, above-mentioned base station just need to be to the MBMS business information of mutual this base station of its neighbor cell.
Fig. 2 shows the systems approach flow chart according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.At first, in step S20, base station c obtains the schedule information to the MBMS business of base station c, and obtains the MBMS service identification that base station c transmits and the MBSFN area identification that transmits this MBMS business.Wherein, this MBMS service dispatching information indicates this base station c in the professional transmission of at least one MBSFN subframe scheduling MBMS.
Base station c can be from multicast coordination entity (Multicast Coordination Entity, MCE) locate to obtain the MBMS service identification that this base station c transmits, transmit the professional corresponding MBSFN area identification of this MBMS, and the professional employed resource scheduling information of this MBMS, this MBMS service dispatching information indication keeps for base station c to carry out the concrete distribution condition of the MBSFN subframe of MBSFN transmission.Usually, the number of keeping for base station c to be used for the MBSFN subframe of MBSFN transmission is greater than the actual number that carries out the MBSFN subframe of MBSFN transmission for base station c dynamic dispatching of MCE usually.
Base station c need to confirm to receive this MBMS service dispatching information to MCE behind the MBMS service dispatching information that receives from MCE, send MBMS service dispatching information response message.
Then, in step S21, base station c is according to the schedule information of this MBMS business of obtaining, and the MBMS business information of base station c is offered base station a and b.Wherein, the MBMS business information of base station c comprises the information relevant with the schedule information of this MBMS business, this MBSFN area identification and this MBMS service identification.

Table one MBMS business information reporting process
Basic process Initial message
The report of MBMS business information The report of MBMS business information
Base station c obtains the information of its adjacent base station according to the adjacent cell list that configures among the c of base station, for example, comprise base station a and b in this neighbour's station list, and then base station c initiates MBMS business information reporting process to adjacent base station a and b.
The information relevant with this schedule information comprises and is used to indicate the information that is used for the MBSFN subframe of the professional transmission of MBMS by base station c scheduling, or is used to indicate that base station c reserves and is not used for the information of MBSFN subframe by this base station c scheduling.
During the information of the MBSFN subframe of directly being dispatched by this base station alternately to adjacent base station when system configuration indication base station, the sign of the MBSFN subframe that base station c directly will be dispatched by base station c offers adjacent base station a and b.For example, when MCE indication base station c actual schedule MBSFN subframe 0-4 is used for the MBSFN transmission, the MBSFN subframe that base station c sends to adjacent base station a and b be designated 0-4.
Replacedly, when system configuration indication base station during to the information of the mutual MBSFN subframe of not dispatched by this base station of adjacent base station, base station c is according to the MBSFN subframe of reserving for base station e, and the MBSFN subframe of being dispatched by base station c, carry out the difference computing, the remaining sign of MBSFN subframe of keeping for base station c and not being scheduled for the MBSFN transmission of base station c is offered adjacent base station a and b.For example, base station c reserves 10 MBSFN subframe 0-9 and is used for the MBSFN transmission, and MCE indication base station c actual schedule MBSFN subframe 0-4 is used for the MBSFN transmission.Then in step S22, base station c is through the difference computing, and the remaining sign 5-9 of MBSFN subframe of MBSFN transmission that keeps for base station c and be not scheduled for base station c as the information relevant with scheduling in the MBMS business information, is offered base station a and b.

Fig. 3 shows the signaling structure according to the example of the new X2AP message MBMS business information report of a specific embodiment of the present invention.
As can be seen from Figure 3, MBMS business information report message comprises the Serving cell tabulation of being controlled by current base station.For each Serving cell, also comprise for the cell identity information of sign and be used to indicate the MBSFN area information tabulation in the MBSFN zone under this Serving cell.Below, if consider in a residential quarter, to have the situation in a plurality of overlapping MBSFN zones, then have the tabulation of MBSFN area information, comprise a plurality of MBSFN area informations in this tabulation.For each MBSFN area information, this MBSFN area information comprises MBSFN area identification (ID), to distinguish different MBSFN zones.Each MBSFN area information also comprises the corresponding MBMS service identification tabulation of wherein transmitting, and is transmitting which MBMS with indication in this MBSFN zone professional.At last, the MBSFN area information also comprises the schedule information of MBSFN subframe, also the i.e. MBSFN sub-frame allocation condition information in this MBSFN zone.The definition of concrete information unit (Information Element, IE) can be with reference to current TS36.423 X2AP agreement and TS36.443 M2AP agreement.
Adopt the X2AP interface signaling process of this enhancing, the base station can obtain the MBMS business information of adjacent base station, for example, and MBSFN area identification, MBMS service identification and MBSFN subframe scheduling information.These information can by the user terminal of idle pulley for the cell reselection priority adjustment process for the MBMS business continuance, also can be used for serving BS and select for handover decisions and/or the Target cell of the switching set-up procedure of the user terminal of the RRC connection of MBMS business continuance.
Then, in step S22, adjacent second base station of the first base station, describe as an example of adjacent the second base station a of the first base station c example, base station a receives the MBMS business information from base station c, wherein, this MBMS business information comprises relevant information, at least one MBSFN area identification and the MBMS service identification corresponding with this MBSFN of schedule information that transmits at least one MBSFN subframe scheduling MBMS business with indication base station c.
In addition, each base station a, b and c reserve respectively a plurality of MBSFN subframes to carry out the MBSFN transmission.Then, in the layoutprocedure of X2 foundation and base station, corresponding each adjacent base station that is provided by each adjacent base station is provided in the base station is a plurality of MBSFN sub-frame informations that the MBSFN transmission is reserved.Base station a in Fig. 1 describes as example, and base station a sets up by X2 and the layoutprocedure of base station, and it is that MBSFN transmits a plurality of MBSFN subframes of reserving that this adjacent base station c that is provided by adjacent base station c is provided.In the present embodiment, for example, base station c reserves MBSFN subframe 0-9 and is used for the MBSFN transmission.
Then, in step S23, the information that base station a is relevant according to this schedule information is dispatched unicast service at least one the multimedia broadcasting Single frequency network subframe that is not scheduled.
Because in Rel 10, the MBSFN subframe that agreement will not be used is used for the unicast transmission of user terminal transmission mode 9.Therefore, in order to improve the wireless resource utility efficiency problem under the deployment scenario of a plurality of adjacent MBSFN zone, base station a is after having known which MBSFN subframe is used for the MBSFN transmission by adjacent base station c, although base station a can use those to be reserved, still be used for unicast transmission by adjacent base station c actual schedule for the MBSFN subframe that MBSFN transmits by adjacent base station c, and does not affect the MBSFN transmission gain of existing neighbor cell c.
For example, base station c reserves MBSFN subframe 0-9 and is used for the MBSFN transmission, and MCE indication base station c actual schedule MBSFN subframe 0-4 is used for the MBSFN transmission, then base station a sets up and the base station layoutprocedure by X2, obtain base station c and reserved 10 MBSFN subframe 0-9 for the MBSFN transmission, and base station a obtains base station c actual schedule MBSFN subframe 0-4 and is used for the MBSFN transmission by the MBMS business information reporting process of the X2AP of step S22.Then in step S23, base station a is in the MBSFN of the reservation that belongs to base station c subframe and do not transmitted unicast service by the MBSFN subframe of base station c actual schedule.Also namely, base station a can utilize the upper transmission of MBSFN subframe 5-9 unicast service, and transmits with transmission mode 9.
In another embodiment, if base station a obtain from comprising the information of the MBSFN subframe of keeping for base station c and not being scheduled with the relevant information of scheduling in the MBMS business information of base station c, for example, when base station a receives and comprises the sign 5-9 of MBSFN subframe of the MBSFN transmission of keeping for base station c and not being scheduled for base station c from the relevant information of the scheduling of base station c, base station a can directly utilize the upper transmission of MBSFN subframe 5-9 unicast service, and transmits with transmission mode 9.
