Description

Method and apparatus for reliable broadcast/multicast service
The application be the applying date be on 2 26th, 2008, application No. is 200880126687.6 Chinese invention patent Shens The please divisional application of " method and apparatus for reliable broadcast/multicast service ".
Technical field
The present invention relates to the methods and apparatus used in a communication network, and in particular to takes including multi-medium broadcast/group broadcast The case where business.
Background technique
MBMS (multimedia broadcast/multicast service) is the feature in 3GPP network, can be by the multicast on 3G network/wide Transmission is broadcast to provide service.When a large number of users is interested in same services simultaneously (such as in mobile TV), this helps to save About Internet resources.It is transmitted since identical multicast/broadcast can be received by multiple users, it is achieved that it is resource-effective, also, The amount of used Internet resources is independent of receiver number (being then such case for unicast services).
Multimedia broadcast/multicast service has become generally, since mobile hand-held device has become able to via wireless Network receiving multimedia content, this becomes more universal.
Multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS) [3GPP-23246- is introduced in the land UMTS wireless access (UTRA) 720-MBMS-architecture、3GPP-22146-820-MBMS-stage1、3GPP-25346-730-MBMS-stage2] The technology of the optimization transmission for MBMS carrying service is provided, such as point-to-multipoint transmission, point-to-multipoint (PTM) and point-to-point (PTP) the selectivity merging and transmission mode selection between carrying.MBMS logical transmission channel is defined, and is mapped to object Manage channel.Basic logic channel is as follows:
(a) MBMS point-to-multipoint control channel (MCCH): the logic channel is used between network and user equipment (UE) Control the PTM downlink transmission of plane information.
(b) MBMS point multipoint message traffic channel (MTCH): the logic channel is for the user plane letter between network and UE The PTM downlink transmission of breath.
(c) MBMS point-to-multipoint scheduling channel (MSCH): the logic channel is used for MBMS service between network and UE and transmits The PTM downlink transmission of scheduling.
As Fig. 1 of attached drawing is schematically shown, MBMS framework is vertically divided by two layers: MBMS carrying service layer according to function 14 and MBMS user service layer 12.Key node in MBMS is BM-SC (broadcast/multicast service center) 4, BM-SC 4 to UE (user equipment) 2 sends MBMS service data.BM-SC 4 is located at after GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) 10.UE 2 via Wireless access network (RAN) 6 and Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) 8 are communicated with GGSN 10.
MBMS user service layer 12 is defined between BM-SC 4 and UE 2.MBMS user service (is advised in TS 26.346 It is fixed;Multimedia Broadcase/Multicast Service(MBMS);Protocols and codecs;Http: // Www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/26346.htm) by the actual content of MBMS service (such as move TV section Mesh) and relevant agreement and codec etc. composition.
MBMS is safely (see TS 33.246;MBMS security;Http:// www.3gpp.org/ftip/Specs/ Html-info/33246.htm) it is also defined in MBMS user service layer 12.It defines security function, and security function can be with Authorized user is only limited in for that will service.
MBMS carrying service 14 is (see TS 23.246;MBMS bearer service;Http:// www.3gpp.org/ Ftp/Specs/html-info/23246.htm) provide be used for transmission MBMS user service multicast/broadcast transmission basis set It applies and resource, such as multicast/broadcast distribution tree.Other than UE 2 and BM-SC 4, GGSN 10, SGSN 8 and RAN 6 are A part of MBMS carrying service 14.
MBMS carrying service 14 is further divided into both of which: multicast pattern and broadcast mode.Between both modes Difference approximately as.
Multicast pattern service is only transmitted in there are the region of interested UE 2.Multicast mould is used when UE 2 wants to receive When the MBMS service that formula provides, UE 2 sends IGMP (Yin Te to GGSN 10 by default PDP (packet data protocol) context Net igmpinternet) request is added.This will lead to on the path between UE 2 and BM-SC 4 each network node (including UE 2 and BM-SC 4) creation MBMS UE context, and multicast distribution tree is updated accordingly (see the clause of TS 23.246 8.2).In brief, in MBMS carrying rank, network aware UE.
In general, broadcast mode service is transmitted in a particular area, and it is unrelated with the presence or absence of UE 2.When UE 2 wants When receiving the MBMS service provided using broadcast mode, its own is locally configured in UE 2, to receive the transmission, and not In carrying rank related network (see the clause 8.12 of TS 23.246).In brief, in MBMS carrying rank, network is not known Know UE 2.
MBMS safety is independently of multicast and broadcast mode, because it is the function of MBMS user service layer 12.It means that Multicast pattern and broadcast mode service can be protected safely using MBMS.When UE 2 wants to receive shielded service, Other than the movement of above-mentioned carrying rank, UE 2 is registered also on MBMS user service layer 12 to BM-SC 4, required to obtain MBMS service key.
In MBMS safety, UE 2 is using PDP Context (PDP Context provide to UE 2 IP connection) come to MBMS user Service registration and cancellation.Identical PDP Context also is used to push MBMS service key (MSK) update message by BM-SC 4 To UE 2.This is possible, because BM-SC 4 stores the IP of UE 2 when receiving registration message from UE 2 on PDP Context Address.This point is diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 2 of attached drawing.
Applicants have realised that, in fact it could happen that a kind of situation, wherein delete for some reason PDP Context (or by Another PDP Context is replaced), this will imply that, the associated IP address of UE 2 will be no longer valid, as attached drawing Fig. 3 in show What meaning property indicated.
However, BM-SC 4 does not know that the IP address is no longer valid, and will continue to send MBMS to the IP address being not present Service key (MSK) message.These MSK message will be dropped in GGSN 10, because GGSN 10 cannot be identified in message Destination IP address.
The possible cause that PDP Context is removed or replaced is shown in 24.008 6.1.3.4.2 chapters and sections of TS: " rule deactivates Work ", " network failure ", " operator is determining to be forbidden " or " request reactivates ".User not to be noted may delete or replace It changes, because PDP Context is only used for background key management, actual MBMS content is carried by MBMS and sent.
Therefore, UE 2 may receive MBMS service key not in time, these service key are needed for decryption service;Or Person, if the IP address is quickly distributed to another UE 2, MBMS service key message may be sent to the UE 2 of mistake (MBMS safety will not be destroyed by sending service key to the UE of mistake, because service key is come using the dedicated high-rise key of UE Encryption).
Current safety standard (TS 33.246) regulation, UE 2 can be infused from the key identifier of received MBMS content It anticipates and does not have correct MSK to it with the service of decrypting.This can trigger UE 2 and fetch new MSK from BM-SC 4.For this purpose, if UE 2 does not have any effective PDP Context, the then new PDP Context that UE 2 will must be set up.The problem of mechanism, exists In some real time contents using the MSK encryption lacked may have been received in UE 2.This will imply that, fetch simultaneously in UE 2 Before correct MSK is installed, service disruption (such as in mobile TV program) will occur.
Currently, for multicast pattern and broadcast mode, the loss of PDP Context is handled in different method.
Current method of the description for multicast pattern first.In this scene, as defined in 23.246 clause 6.1 of TS , UE 2, SGSN 8, GGSN 10 and BM-SC 4 have been stored establish multicast distribution tree needed on the dedicated MBMS UE of UE Hereafter.The MBMS UE context is to carry grade activation using MBMS to establish.
In addition, UE 2 and SGSN 8 have stored PDP Context, (NSAPI or Network Layer Service of so-called link are accessed Point identifier) with being associated between MBMS UE context, as schematically shown in Fig. 4 of attached drawing.
If UE 2, SGSN 8 or GGSN 10 delete PDP Context, SGSN 8 will start multicast services deactivation Process is to delete the MBMS UE context in all nodes (see 23.246 clause 8.7 of TS).
The multicast services deactivation process will also reach BM-SC 4, and then, BM-SC 4 will be appreciated by for the UE's 2 MBMS carrying service (and MBMS UE context) has deactivated, and then BM-SC 4 will assume: the UE 2 is directed to, with deactivation The relevant MBMS user service of MBMS carrying service be also deactivated.Then, BM-SC4 knows that it should not send to UE 2 again MBMS service key updating message.
The multicast services deactivation process will also reach UE 2, and user may notice that MBMS service failure.Certainly, this Mean service disruption.Then, user can re-initiate MBMS user service (this will imply that the new PDP or more of activation at this time Text and again activation MBMS carrying service).
Turning now to the current method for the problem that broadcast mode, broadcast mode is different, because carrying rank in MBMS, Network is unaware of UE 2, this is because the not stored dedicated MBMS UE context of UE in SGSN 8, GGSN10 or BM-SC 4.Cause This, network does not know that specific PDP Context is for MBMS key management.Need to consider two kinds of different situations: (a) UE is initiated PDP Context is deleted;And the PDP Context deletion that (b) network is initiated.
In the clause 6.3.2.1A of TS 33.246, the case where PDP Context that UE is initiated is deleted has been covered, it should Clause regulation, before UE 2 is nullified from MBMS user service, UE 2 should not delete PDP Context (for key pipe Reason).It further provides that, PDP Context should be interactive or backstage QoS (service quality) classification in the 6.3.1 of TS 33.246, These known classifications have compared with longevity period.(whether PDP Context still may be accidentally deleted (such as passing through user action) still It is to be determined).
However, the PDP Context that non-overlay network is initiated in Current specifications is deleted.Although PDP Context can have Compared with longevity period, but PDP Context still may for some reason (such as network failure) by network (i.e. SGSN 8 or GGSN 10) it deletes.In this case, BM-SC 4 will be unaware of that UE IP address is no longer valid, it will continue to the IP being not present Location sends MBMS service key (MSK) message, as indicated in Fig. 3 and as described above.This is a problem, because broadcasting In mode, intermediate node (i.e. SGSN 8 and GGSN 10) is unaware of the PDP Context of deletion for MBMS, therefore they may It is not indicated to BM-SC 4 yet.Therefore, UE 2 cannot receive required key in time, use since UE 2 cannot decrypt MBMS Family service, therefore for UE 2, service will be interrupted.
It is expected that solving the problems, such as this.

Specific embodiment
The embodiment of the present invention is described referring now to Fig. 5 A, 5B, 6 and 7.Fig. 5 A and 5B include to illustrate of the invention The flow chart for the step of being executed in embodiment by UE 20, SGSN 80, GGSN 100 and BM-SC 40, and Fig. 6 is schematically shown The component of the UE 20 of the step of for executing Fig. 5 A and 5B.
In step S1, PDP Context is established to realize the connection between UE 20 and BM-SC 40;For this purpose, UE 20 is used PDP Context establishes part 22 to establish PDP Context.PDP Context is established between UE 20 and GGSN 100, thus real The connection between UE 20 and BM-SC 40 by PDP Context is showed.During executing step S1, with distributing IP to UE 20 Location.
In step S2, user determines to register various user services, in response, UE 20 by PDP Context come Various MBMS user service registrations are executed, register user service using user service registration part 24;These user services note Volume will be carried out usually whithin a period of time.In BM-SC 40, UE 20 is registered as the receiver of these user services, from IP It is grouped the IP address for retrieving UE 20 in source address and stores the MSK key PUSH message for being used for future.In this regard, BM-SC 40 is also Using PDP Context come to UE 20 push MSK message, as TS33.246 6.3.2.1A in define and in the step S4 of Fig. 5 A Middle expression.
UE 20 is tracked PDP Context and is infused in step s 2 using the MBMS user service that PDP Context executes Volume, stores that information in USI user service information storage section 25 that (or alternatively, being stored in UE 20 can visit in step s3 The remote storage location asked).The information for example indicates user service ID and the PDP for registering user service in a tabular form The hereafter relationship between (NSAPI).
In step S5, what UE 20 using PDP Context availability checked part 26 to check or monitor PDP Context can It (is stored in storage section 25 for the information of the PDP Context) with property.If UE 20 determines that the PDP Context is still available, Then UE 20 continues to execute the inspection of step S5.The inspection can be executed in various ways: for example, can be at regular intervals Come the message for executing inspection or UE 20 can wait PDP Context to be instructed no longer available.UE 20 is it can be found that network is initiated PDP Context delete, (the General Packet Radio as described in 9.2.4.2 and 9.2.4.3 in TS 23.060 Service(GPRS);Service description http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/ 23060.htm)。
If UE 20 notices that PDP Context has been lost really, in step s 6, part 22 is established in UE20 use It establishes and activates new PDP Context;During the process, new IP address is distributed to UE 20.Then, make in step S7, UE 20 With registration part 24, using the new PDP Context established in step S6 come to all impacted MBMS user services (or its son Collection) execute re-register.(in the case where MBMS multicast pattern, this, which will lead to, activates MBMS carrying service for user, still This is transparent for safety approach.)
Step S7 also provides the new IP address of UE 20 to BM-SC 40, this allows 40 use of BM-SC and new PDP or more The relevant new IP address of text continues to send MBMS service key (MSK) message to UE 20, as shown in step S8 and in UE by Receiving portion 28 is executed to receive MSK message.In this manner it is achieved that UE 20 can be in the case where not interrupting key management Enjoy MBMS user service.
Alternately, new PDP Context is not activated, but if there is other effective PDP Contexts are available, then 20 UE It is configurable to using one of these PDP Contexts.
The embodiment of the present invention, which is suitable for broadcast and multicast pattern, the mechanism for multicast pattern being previously proposed, only to be allowed PDP context deactivation is notified to BM-SC.
Above-described embodiment is described in the environment of MBMS, it can be appreciated that, identical concept can be applied to it In his comparable environment.For example, the embodiment of the present invention can be also used for Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) mobile broadcast (BCAST) Scene;OMABCAST is the specification for mobile TV and video-on-demand service.
Above-mentioned embodiment relevant to MBMS can be readily adapted to provide corresponding scheme in OMA BCAST environment, figure 8A and 8B illustrates the operation of OMA BCAST alternative embodiment of the invention.It is clear that OMA process is equivalent on the whole MBMS process, only message is different with the title of node.It therefore, there is no need to explain in detail OMA BCAST embodiment, it is only necessary to infuse Anticipate following difference: the UE of MBMS is referred to as terminal in OMA BCAST;The BM-SC of MBMS is referred to as OMA in OMA BCAST BSM (BCAST subscription management);The MSK message of MBMS is referred to as LTKM (long term keys message) in OMA BCAST;And The user service registration request of MBMS is referred to as registration request in OMA BCAST.
Remember these difference, those skilled in the art are readily able to realize OMA based on the description above with respect to MBMS BCAST embodiment.OMA use PDP Context identical with MBMS is connected to lower layer IP and connect, that is, is applicable in these specifications Same reference.The OMA detail of registration and key management can obtained from www.openmobilealliance.org It is described in following specification documents: " Mobile Broadcast Services " OMA-TS-BCAST_Services-V1_0- 20080103-D;And " Service and Content Protection for Mobile Broadcast Services " OMA-TS-BCAST_SvcCntProtection-V1_0-20071218-D。
It will recognize, the operation of one or more said modules can be controlled by the program operated on the device or apparatus System.This operation sequence can store on a computer-readable medium, or can for example (such as be mentioned from internet site with signal What is supplied can downloading data signal) Lai Shixian.Appended claims should be interpreted to cover the note on operation sequence itself or carrier Record or signal or other any forms.
Although the present invention has had been described with reference to particular embodiments above, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that not carrying on the back Under the premise of from the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, various changes, replacement and variation can be carried out.
For example, it will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that broadcast/multicast service is applicable not only to mobile network, similarly Suitable for fixed network, and the present invention can be readily applied in this scene.In fixed, IP connection may not Always PDP Context (as described in above with respect to MBMS and OMA BCAST).The present invention is suitable for user terminal (no matter MBMS UE Or some other type of terminal of OMA BCAST terminal or user's operation) in any kind of network (no matter mobile or solid It is fixed) in operation IP-based multimedia broadcast/multicast service (no matter MBMS service or OMA BCAST service or certain other this The service of sample) ordinary circumstance.Based on method include: storage information relevant to user service registration, the user Service registration is using establishing for broadcast/multicast service to realize user terminal and service node (no matter MBMS BM-SC is saved Point or OMA BSM node or certain other corresponding node) between connection certain IP connection (no matter PDP Context or other) It is performed.The information is that one kind can be such that at least some of any user service influenced by IP connection loss user takes The information that business re-registers.
