Case and effect are clearer, clear, and the present invention is described in more detail as follows in conjunction with drawings and embodiments.It should be appreciated that
Described herein specific examples are only used to explain the present invention, is not intended to limit the present invention.
According to 3GPP TS 36.213 7.1, when user equipment (User Equipment, UE) high level be configured with it is semi-static
When dispatching radio network temporary identifier (SPS C-RNTI), UE should use SPS C-RNTI to downlink physical control channel
(PDCCH) and corresponding downlink physical is shared channel (PDSCH) and is decoded;The Cyclic Redundancy Check of the PDCCH
It is scrambled by SPS C-RNTI.Actually in LTE system, down link control information (DCI) indicates UE in corresponding subframe
All necessary informations such as PDSCH physical layer resources and transformat, PDCCH carry DCI, while the CRC of PDCCH and right
Answer PDSCH to be scrambled by corresponding RNTI, therefore it is presently believed that RNTI LTE physical layer effect, be equivalent to MAC Address with
Effect too in net.Therefore, RRC(wireless heterogeneous networks of the present invention) identical SPS C-RNTI is configured to several by agreement
UE, these UE are formed a multicast group, to realize multicast.The RRC agreement (RRC) is responsible for the management of RRC connection,
According to 36.331 5.3.1 of 3GPP TS, the management of M-DRB is realized by RRC connection reconfiguration.
Multicast is a kind of one or more senders' (multicast source) to be allowed to send single data packet to multiple recipients (one
It is secondary, at the same) network technology.Data packet is sent to particular multicast group by multicast source, and only belongs to the ground of the multicast group
Location can just receive data packet.For cable network, there are a set of IP address allocation strategy and by three IP multicast of layer
Location is mapped to the mechanism of two ethernet address of layer;It mainly includes that multicast is added that it, which is managed, exits multicast etc..The air interface of LTE,
It is equivalent to Ethernet (layer two).Realize multicast, it is only necessary to three address of complete layer to the function of the two address mapping of layer, i.e. terminal
Multicast is being added and is exiting a group sowing time, the mapping of three address of LTE air interface complete layer to layer double-address (C-RNTI).Together
When, in up direction, that is, terminal to base station direction, always one-to-one to carry out data transmission, no multicast requirement;Multicast application is under
Line direction, that is, base station to terminal direction, i.e., multiple terminals receive downlink multicast data using identical physical layer resources.The present invention
Use dedicated M-DRB(multicast packet radio bearer) bear multicast data, address of cache by RRC to the management of M-DRB and
MAC protocol is to SPS(editions static schedulings) activation and deactivate realize.The MAC completes the function of wireless resource scheduling.

Following steps:
S10,4G core net (EPC) are to have the user equipment of multicast requirement to establish to drill for the ERAB(of bear multicast data
Into radio access bearer).In the present embodiment, the user equipment is the mobile terminal with LTE function.
S210, user equipment addition group sowing time, 4G core net send modification ERAB(evolution to LTE base station (eNodeB)
Radio access bearer) to complete IP multicast address to C-RNTI(radio network temporary identifier) mapping ERAB modification ask
It asks, it is desired to modify ERAB with three address of complete layer to the two address mapping of layer.
S220, LTE base station generate semi-persistent scheduling wireless network according to the address mapping information of ERAB modification request
Temporary identifier (SPS C-RNTI), and indicate that user equipment establishes semi-persistent scheduling (SPS).Specifically, eNodeB according to
The address mapping information of ERAB modification request generates SPS C-RNTI, and indicates that UE is established by message RRC connection reconfiguration message
SPS prepares to receive by the scrambled multicast packet of SPS C-RNTI.
S230, user equipment receive the semi-persistent scheduling radio network temporary identifier, carry out RRC connection reconfiguration to build
Vertical semi-persistent scheduling, and feed back semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) and establish the message completed to LTE base station.
The ERAB modification of S240, LTE base station notice 4G core network user equipment are completed, and multicast is added in user equipment.
Referring to Fig. 2, the step S210 to S240 is the process that multicast is added in user equipment.It follows that supporting LTE
User equipment can be added multicast, scheduling is flexibly simple, improves the scope of application of LTE air interface multicast.
Further, referring to Fig. 3, the step S10 specifically includes step:
S110,4G core net send ERAB and establish request to LTE base station, it is desirable that establish ERAB, be used for bear multicast data;
The ERAB is user equipment by LTE base station to the data path between 4G core net.
S120, LTE base station send M-DRB and increase instruction to user equipment, to indicate that user equipment establishes M-DRB;It is described
M-DRB refers to that user equipment to the data path between LTE base station, is equivalent to one section of ERAB.
After S130, user equipment receive the M-DRB increase instruction, M-DRB is established by RRC connection reconfiguration, and anti-
It presents M-DRB and establishes the message completed to LTE base station;
S140, LTE base station are established ERAB of the response notice 4G core net for bear multicast data using ERAB and have been established
At.
Further, the invention also includes the processes for exiting multicast, that is, further includes walking as follows after the step S240
It is rapid:
S310, user equipment exit a group sowing time, and 4G core net sends the ERAB modification request for making user equipment exit multicast
To LTE base station;
S320, LTE base station are modified according to the ERAB and are requested, and are sent semi-persistent scheduling and are released order to user equipment;
S330, user equipment receive after semi-persistent scheduling releases order, and pass through RRC connection reconfiguration and discharge semi-static tune
Degree does not use semi-persistent scheduling radio network temporary identifier and receives data, to exit multicast, and uses RRC connection weight
With completion notice eNodeB;
S340, LTE base station send ERAB modification response notice 4G core network user equipment and have dropped out multicast.
For the angle that mobile terminal economizes on electricity, when down direction has data transmission, mobile terminal just needs to receive number
According to for SPS (semi-persistent scheduling), the present invention devises SPS activation and deactivated mechanism.According to 3GPP TS 36.213
9.2, when activation SPS is transmitted, need to scramble PDCCH using SPS C-RNTI;Secondly, NDI field is set as 0, this is two
A primary condition.For further stringent verifying, need to examine DCI(down link control information) in other fields.
