Background technology

MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service, multimedia broadcast-multicast service) is for providing multimedia broadcasting and multicast services for user in wireless area.In LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) system, the special frequency layer of MBMS and the frequency layer shared with non-MBMS can both provide MBMS.The LTE community of support MBMS can be MBMS dedicated cell also can be MBMS/ Unicast-mixed cell.MBMS can carry out single cell transmission, also can carry out multiple cell transmission.The multiple cell transmission of MBMS needs to support MBSFN transmission means.

So-called MBSFN (Multimedia Broadcast multicast service Single Frequency Network, multimedia broadcast multi-broadcasting business Single Frequency Network) refer to and carry out synchronous transmission (that is with same frequency in multiple community at one time, community in same MBSFN region, is with frequently).Use this transmission means to save frequency resource, improve the availability of frequency spectrum.It requires identical content simultaneously being sent of multiple community.So, multiple MBSFN community just can be considered as a large community by UE (subscriber equipment) receiver.Therefore, UE not only can not be subject to the presence of intercell interference of adjacent cell transmission, and the superposition of signal that will benefit from from multiple MBSFN community.MBMS dedicated cell and MBMS/ Unicast-mixed cell can adopt MBSFN transmission means.In addition, if utilize advanced UE receiver technology can also the time difference problem propagated of solving multipath, thus intra-cell interference be eliminated.This multiple sectors at same keeps pouring in defeated brought diversity can also solve the problems such as blind area covering, strengthens the reliability received, and improves coverage rate.

Under Small Cell (small-cell) scene, due to the close together of user and base station, it has been generally acknowledged that the path loss between user and base station is lower, therefore can reach good channel condition.Support that the modulation of more high-order also becomes a kind of possible scheme strengthening spectrum efficiency, such as, can use 256QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, phase quadrature amplitude modulation) under Small Cell scene.

3GPP introduces 256QAM PMCH (Physical Multicast Channel, Physical Multicast Channel), but if current network conditions is not suitable for carrying out 256QAM PMCH and is that 256QAM PMCH is carried out in UE configuration, can cause the wasting of resources; If current network conditions is suitable for carrying out 256QAM PMCH and not for 256QAM PMCH is carried out in UE configuration, efficiency of transmission being caused lower.

Embodiment

Embodiment of the present invention first network side apparatus determines the quantity information expecting the subscriber equipment carrying out different send modes, according to described quantity information, is configured the send mode of the MBMS in described MBSFN region.Because the embodiment of the present invention according to expecting the quantity information carrying out the subscriber equipment of different send modes, can be configured the send mode of the MBMS in described MBSFN region, thus achieving reasonable disposition send mode; Further increase systematic function.

Below in conjunction with Figure of description, the embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail.

As shown in Figure 1, the embodiment of the present invention one determines that the method for send mode comprises:

Step 101, first network side apparatus determine the quantity information expecting the subscriber equipment carrying out different send modes;

Step 102, described first network side apparatus, according to described quantity information, are configured the send mode of the MBMS in described MBSFN region.

First network side apparatus can be base station in embodiments of the present invention also can be MCE (Multi-cell/multicast Coordination Entity, multiple cell/multicast coordinated entity), is introduced respectively below.

One, first network side apparatus is MCE.

Wherein, if send mode is modulation system, then described send mode is modulation system, then described modulation system is 256QAM mode;

If described send mode is modulation coding mode, then the one in described send mode MCS (Modulation and coding scheme, modulation coding mode).A point situation is described below.

Situation one, send mode are modulation system.

In force, MCE, can informing base station when needing to be configured the send mode of the MBMS in described MBSFN region.

Base station notifying user equipment can report the send mode of expectation upon receipt of a notification; Also directly according to the ability information of the subscriber equipment obtained, the quantity information expecting the subscriber equipment carrying out different send modes can be determined, and returns to MCE.

Preferably, base station is when determining the quantity information of the subscriber equipment of expecting to carry out different send modes according to the ability information of subscriber equipment, the specific Service that can also comprise according to the interested business information of subscriber equipment is together with ability information, determine the quantity information expecting the subscriber equipment carrying out different send modes, the quantity information granularity determined like this is Service, that is can determine, for a Service, this Service to carry out the quantity information of the subscriber equipment of different send modes.

The interested business information of subscriber equipment comprises the interested business of subscriber equipment, using all business as specific Service, also can determine specific Service as required from the interested business of subscriber equipment in force.

Wherein, base station can by the interested business information of the ability information of existing Procedure Acquisition subscriber equipment and subscriber equipment, such as UE capability reporting process, obtains UE ability process from MME; MBMS Counting mechanism obtains the interested business of UE.

As being used for representing, whether the ability information of subscriber equipment also can be expected that the information reporting carrying out 256QAM mode is to MCE by base station.

For specific Service, whether the interested business information of the ability information of subscriber equipment and subscriber equipment also can be expected that the information reporting carrying out 256QAM mode is to MCE as being used for representing by base station.

MCE adopts the above-mentioned mode identical from base station to determine the quantity information expecting the subscriber equipment carrying out different send modes.

If base station notifying user equipment reports the send mode of expectation, then, after receiving the information that subscriber equipment returns, directly can report MCE; Also first can add up, then statistics be reported MCE.

Based on this, determine to expect that the quantity information of the subscriber equipment carrying out different send modes includes but not limited in following message part or all of:

For representing the information of whether expecting to carry out 256QAM mode;

The quantity of the subscriber equipment of the 256QAM mode of undesirably carrying out of being added up by base station or the application layer network equipment or ratio.

If based on specific Service, determine to expect that the quantity information of the subscriber equipment carrying out different send modes includes but not limited in following message part or all of:

The quantity of the subscriber equipment of the 256QAM mode of undesirably carrying out for specific Service of being added up by base station or the application layer network equipment or ratio.

MCCH (Multicast Control Channel, multicast control channel) or DCCH (Dedicated Control Channel, Dedicated Control Channel) notifying user equipment, when notifying user equipment, can be passed through in base station.

The information that MCE returns according to the base station received, just can determine the quantity information expecting the subscriber equipment carrying out different send modes.Further, MCE is according to determining that the quantity information expecting the subscriber equipment carrying out different send modes just can be configured.

Concrete, MCE, when determining to expect that the quantity information of the subscriber equipment carrying out 256QAM mode meets configuration requirement, is configured to 256QAM mode to the send mode of the MBMS in described MBSFN region.

Such as expect that the quantity of carrying out the subscriber equipment of 256QAM mode is greater than setting threshold, then determine to meet configuration requirement; Otherwise, determine not meet configuration requirement.

If do not meet configuration requirement, MCE can configure the modulation system lower than 256QAM, such as 64QAM etc.

Preferably, if MCE needs to be configured based on specific Service, then MCE informing base station needs the Service ID (mark) by specific Service (business) is corresponding to inform to base station, and informs subscriber equipment by base station.

Accordingly, for a specific Service, MCE, when determining that the quantity information carrying out the subscriber equipment of 256QAM mode for specific Service expectation meets configuration requirement, is configured to 256QAM mode to the send mode of the MBMS in described MBSFN region.

Such as be desirably in the quantity that Service X carries out the subscriber equipment of 256QAM mode and be greater than setting threshold, then determine to meet configuration requirement; Otherwise, determine not meet configuration requirement.

Preferably, MCE when configuring send mode, can also consider the channel quality of PMCH.

Concrete, MCE informing base station is by the channel quality of user equipment to report PMCH.

When being configured by subscriber equipment, the specific PMCH needing to measure can be specified; Also can not specify.

If specified, then subscriber equipment only needs to measure the PMCH specified; If do not specified, all PMCH that can measure can measure by subscriber equipment, and average and report.

One preferably mode is, if subscriber equipment undesirably carries out 256QAM mode, then subscriber equipment can not be measured, and also does not just need to report;

If subscriber equipment is expected to carry out 256QAM mode, and the channel quality after measuring meets the threshold value of setting, then subscriber equipment also can not reporting channel quality;

Accordingly, base station can forward to MCE after receiving measurement result;

If receive the channel quality of the PMCH of user equipment to report, described MCE is according to the described quantity information determined, and the channel quality of the PMCH of user equipment to report, is configured the send mode of the MBMS in described MBSFN region; Or

If do not receive the channel quality of the PMCH of user equipment to report, described MCE determines that the channel quality of the PMCH of this subscriber equipment satisfies condition, and according to the described quantity information determined, and the channel quality satisfied condition, the send mode of the MBMS in described MBSFN region is configured.

For subscriber equipment carry out measurement configuration time, except the channel information of PMCH needing to measure can be carried, the measuring amount etc. needing subscriber equipment to measure can also be carried.
