The following embodiments of the present invention avoid the system downlink capacity congestion and improve the system capacity by sending the V2X service data only to the receiver terminal within the service receiving area of the sending terminal.
As shown in fig. 3, which is a schematic diagram of an MBMS network architecture, in an MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service) network architecture of an LTE system, a UE (user equipment) communicates with an MCE (Multi-cell/Multicast Coordination Entity) and an MBMS GW (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service gateway) through an eNB (evolved base station), the MCE communicates with an MME (mobile management Entity), the MME communicates with an MBMS GW (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service gateway), the MBMS GW communicates with a BM-SC (Broadcast Multicast Service center), and the BM-SC communicates with a ContentProvider, a content provider).
In the system architecture, the interface M3 is: providing Session (Session) management related functions such as Session start, Session stop notification between the MME and the MCE; interface M2 is: providing functions of session management, MBMS scheduling information transmission and the like between the MCE and the eNB; interface M1 is: MBMS service transmission is provided between an MBMS GW and an eNB.
The Uu V2X network architecture is schematic, and currently, Uu V2X supports two network architectures:
as shown in fig. 4, for Uu V2X network architecture 1: the terminal is in communication connection with the eNodeB through a Uu interface, the eNodeB is in communication connection with the MCE through an M2 interface, the eNodeB is in communication connection with an S-GW through an S1-u interface, the eNodeB is in communication connection with the MBMS-GW through an M1 interface, the eNodeB is in communication connection with the MME through an S1-MME interface, the MCE is in communication connection with the MME through an M3 interface, the S-GW is in communication connection with the MME through an S11 interface, the MME is in communication connection with the MBMS-GW through an Sm interface, the MBMS-GW is in communication connection with the BM-SC through an SGi-MB interface, the S-GW is in communication connection with the P-GW through an S5 interface, the BM-SC is in communication connection with the P-GW through an SGi interface, the P-GW is in communication connection with the PCRF through a Gx interface, the MB-SC is in communication connection with the V2X server through an MB2 interface, the P-GW is in communication connection.

The architecture is characterized in that MBMS related user plane nodes are sunk to the eNB, and the purpose is to reduce user plane time delay.
The use of cellular networks to support intelligent transportation systems (Uu V2X) is a hot spot of current research in the field of communications. As presently understood, Uu V2X transmits upstream using unicast and downstream using eMBMS network architecture as shown in fig. 3. One problem with eMBMS network architectures is that service transmission is based on static or semi-static configured MBSFN area transmission, i.e. any message sent by V2X application server (V2X application server) to BM-SC is transmitted in all cells in the MBSFN area.
However, considering that the V2X message is different from the conventional MBMS service, the V2X message is characterized in that it may be valid only in a part of the MBSFN area, and the valid areas of V2X messages transmitted by terminals at different locations in the MBSFN area are also different. There is therefore a need to consider how to implement flexible UuV2X messaging within semi-statically or statically configured MBSFN areas to increase the overall system capacity.

Second embodiment
As shown in fig. 7, a second embodiment of the present invention provides a method for transmitting V2X service data, including:
step 71, acquiring position information of the first terminal;
step 72, determining a service receiving area of the V2X service data packet of the first terminal according to the location information of the first terminal;

Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, the signaling flow includes:
the base station 1(eNB1) divides the geographical location under its coverage into multiple V2X traffic transmission areas, each corresponding to one or more V2X traffic reception areas;
the base station 1 receives uplink V2X service data and current geographical position information sent by the UE 1;
the base station 1 determines its V2X service transmission area and further determines its service reception area based on the geographical location information of the UE1, for example, in the scenario of fig. 2, the inter-station distance (ISD) is 500m, and the propagation range of the V2X service data is 150m, so that the V2X service data transmitted by the vehicle a only needs to be broadcast in the service reception area of the vehicle a, i.e., the cell {1, 4, 5 };
the base station 1 notifies the identity (S-TMSI) of the UE1 to the receiving base stations (including base station 2 and/or base station 3) in the service receiving area of the UE1, and both the base station 2 and the base station 3 have partial receiving areas of the V2X service of the UE 1;
the base station 1 transmits the identity of the UE1 as a data header of the V2X service, together with V2X service data, to the V2X server.
The specific format of the data packet header is as follows:
wherein, Flag is an identification field to indicate whether the data packet header contains content, Length is a Length field to indicate the Length of the UE ID, and the UE ID is a specific UE identifier (such as S-TMSI).
The V2X server sends the V2X service data packet (including the header and the V2X service data) to the BM-SC together, and the BM-SC sends the service to all base stations that have established the service tunnel in a broadcast (MBMS)/multicast (SC-PTM) manner, as shown in the scenario shown in fig. 2, the V2X service data packet is sent to the base stations corresponding to cells 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively.

If the base station finds that the UE identity is currently saved (the base station 2 and the base station 3 find that the S-TMSI of the UE1 is currently saved), the V2X service data packet is transmitted under the base station (the base station 2 and the base station 3 transmit the V2X service).
If the base station finds that the UE identity is not stored (except for base station 2 and base station 3), the V2X service packet is not sent.
Third embodiment
As shown in fig. 9, a third embodiment of the present invention provides a method for transmitting V2X service data, including:
step 91, acquiring position information of a first terminal;
step 92, determining a service receiving area of the V2X service data packet of the first terminal according to the location information of the first terminal;
step 93, sending the attribute information of the first terminal to a receiving base station in the service receiving area of the first terminal and sending the V2X service data in the V2X service data packet of the first terminal to at least one second terminal in the service receiving area of the first terminal through the receiving base station in the service receiving area; wherein, the V2X service data packet includes: a header and V2X traffic data sent by the first terminal.
In step 93, the attribute information of the first terminal includes a service receiving area of the first terminal, and the implementation manner of step 93 is as follows: sending a service receiving area of a first terminal to a receiving base station in the service receiving area of the first terminal, and sending a V2X service data packet carrying the service receiving area of the first terminal in a packet header to a V2X server, so that after receiving the V2X service data packet carrying the service receiving area of the first terminal in the packet header sent by the V2X server through BM-SC, the receiving base station sends the V2X service data of the first terminal to at least one second terminal in the service receiving area according to the service receiving area of the first terminal received by the receiving base station and the service receiving area of the first terminal in the packet header.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 10, the signaling flow is as follows:
the base station 1 divides the geographical position covered by the base station into a plurality of V2X service transmitting areas, wherein each service transmitting area corresponds to one or a plurality of V2X service receiving areas;
the UE1 sends uplink V2X service data and current geographical position information to the base station 1;
the base station 1 determines a V2X service sending area and further determines a service receiving area based on the geographical location information of the UE;
the base station 1 notifies the service receiving area to the receiving base stations (base station 2 and/or base station 3) in the service receiving area, wherein the base station 2 is notified that the service receiving area is cell 1, and the base station 3 is notified that the service receiving area is cell 2. In addition, the base station 1 transmits the service reception area as a data header of the V2X service to the V2X server together with the V2X service data.
If the service receiving area identifier is unique (for example, ECGI) throughout the network, the base station 1 does not separately notify the service receiving area to the base stations 2 and 3, and only needs to send the service receiving area to the V2X server as the packet header of the V2X service packet.
The specific format of the data packet header is as follows:
Flag
|
Length
|
Receiving Area |
wherein, Flag is an identification field indicating whether the Receiving Area of the header contains content, Length is a Length field indicating the Length of the Receiving Area, and the Receiving Area is a specific Receiving Area (such as a cell list).
The V2X server sends the data packet header of the V2X service and the service to the BM-SC, and the BM-SC sends the service to all base stations which have established the service tunnel through a broadcast (MBMS)/multicast (SC-PTM) mode.
The base station receiving the service parses the data packet header of the V2X service, and identifies the service receiving area therein for comparing and storing with the V2X service receiving area (if any) already stored by itself.
If the base station finds that the service receiving area is currently stored (the base station 2 finds that the service receiving area is currently stored as a cell 1, and the base station 3 finds that the service receiving area is currently stored as a cell 2), the service is sent under the base station (the base station 2 sends the service in the cell 1, and the base station 3 sends the service in the cell 2). If the base station finds that the service receiving area is not saved, the service is not transmitted.
In step 93, if the identifier of the service receiving area is unique (for example, ECGI) throughout the network, the base station receiving the V2X service data packet parses the data packet header of the V2X service and identifies the service receiving area therein, if the area is under its own coverage, the V2X service data packet is sent, otherwise, the service data packet is not sent.
That is to say, after receiving a V2X service data packet which is sent by the V2X server through the BM-SC and carries the service receiving area of the first terminal in the packet header, the receiving base station directly sends the V2X service data of the first terminal to at least one second terminal in the service receiving area according to the service receiving area of the first terminal in the packet header.

As shown in fig. 11, a fourth embodiment of the present invention provides a method for transmitting V2X service data, including:
step 111, acquiring position information of the first terminal;
step 112, determining a service receiving area of the V2X service data packet of the first terminal according to the location information of the first terminal;
step 113, sending the attribute information of the first terminal to a receiving base station in the service receiving area of the first terminal and sending the V2X service data in the V2X service data packet of the first terminal to at least one second terminal in the service receiving area of the first terminal through the receiving base station in the service receiving area; wherein, the V2X service data packet includes: a header and V2X traffic data sent by the first terminal.
In this step 113, the attribute information of the first terminal includes an identifier of the first terminal and a service receiving area, and the implementation manner of this step 113 is as follows: sending the identifier of the first terminal and the service receiving area to a receiving base station in the service receiving area of the first terminal, and sending the V2X service data packet carrying the identifier of the first terminal and the service receiving area in the packet header to a V2X server, so that after receiving the V2X service data packet carrying the identifier of the first terminal and the service receiving area in the packet header sent by the V2X server through BM-SC, the receiving base station sends the V2X service data of the first terminal to at least one second terminal in the service receiving area according to the identifier of the first terminal, the service receiving area, the identifier of the first terminal in the packet header and the service receiving area.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 12, the signaling flow is as follows:
the base station 1 divides the geographical location under its coverage into a plurality of V2X service transmitting areas (each area is represented by latitude and longitude information), and each area corresponds to one or more V2X service receiving areas (the receiving areas are specifically cell lists);
the UE1 sends uplink V2X service data and current geographical location information (current longitude and latitude information of the UE) to the base station 1;
the base station 1 determines a V2X service sending area thereof based on the geographical location information of the sending UE, and further determines a service receiving area thereof (specifically, cell 1 of the base station 2 and cell 2 of the base station 3);
the base station 1 notifies the identity (S-TMSI) of the UE1 and the service receiving area to other relevant base stations (base station 2 and base station 3), wherein the base station 2 is taken as an example in the figure to notify the base station 2 that the service receiving area is cell 1, and the base station 3 is notified that the service receiving area is cell 2;
in addition, the base station 1 transmits the identity of the UE1 and the service reception area to the V2X server as a data header of the V2X service together with the V2X service.
The following examples of possible specific formats of the data packet header are given:
format 1:
Flag 1
|
Flag 2
|
Length 1
|
Length 2
|
UE ID
|
Receiving Area |
format 2:
Flag 1
|
Flag 2
|
Length 1
|
UE ID
|
Length 2
|
Receiving Area |
wherein, Flag1 and Flag2 are identification fields, Flag1 indicates whether the data packet header contains a UE ID, Flag2 indicates whether the data packet header contains a Receiving Area (service Receiving Area), Length1 and Length2 are Length fields, Length1 indicates the Length of the UE ID, Length2 indicates the Length of the Receiving Area, the UE ID is a specific UE ID, and the Receiving Area is a specific service Receiving Area (e.g., cell list).
The format of the data packet header in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above listed format, for example, an identification field may also be used to indicate whether the UE ID and the service Receiving Area exist, for example, the identification field may be represented by 2 bits, where one bit indicates whether the UE ID exists and another bit indicates whether the service Receiving Area exists, or the identification field may use different values of 1 bit to indicate whether the UE ID or the service Receiving Area exists, for example, 0 indicates that the packet header contains the UE ID, and 1 indicates that the packet header contains the Receiving Area, or vice versa;
likewise, the length field may also indicate the length of the UE ID and the service receiving area by one length field, for example, by using N bits, where the first N1 bits in the N bits indicate the length of the UE ID and the remaining N2 bits indicate the length of the service receiving area, or by using one length field to set the same length for the UE ID and the service receiving area.
Of course, any other packet header format capable of indicating the UE ID and the service receiving area may implement the formation of the V2X service packet in the above embodiment of the present invention.
The V2X server sends the data packet header of the V2X service to the BM-SC together with the service, and the BM-SC sends the service to all base stations that have established the service tunnel through a broadcast (MBMS)/multicast (SC-PTM) mode.
The base station receiving the service parses the data packet header of the V2X service, and identifies the UE identity (S-TMSI of UE 1) and the service receiving area therein, for comparing with the UE identity and the service receiving area of V2X that is already stored by itself. If the base station finds that the UE identity (S-TMSI of UE1 is already currently saved by base station 2 and base station 3) and the service receiving area (S-TMSI of UE1 is already currently saved by base station 2 and base station 3) are already currently saved (S-TMSI of UE1 is currently saved by base station 2 and service receiving area is currently saved by base station 3 is cell 1), the service is sent under the base station (base station 2 sends service in cell 1 and base station 3 sends service in cell 2). If the base station finds that the UE identity is not stored (except for base station 2 and base station 3), the service is not transmitted.
Fifth embodiment
As shown in fig. 13, a fifth embodiment of the present invention provides a method for transmitting V2X service data, including:
step 131, receiving a V2X service data packet of the first terminal sent in the service receiving area of the first terminal; specifically, a V2X server receives a V2X service data packet of a first terminal sent in a service receiving area of the first terminal through BM-SC;
step 132, according to the information carried in the packet header carried in the V2X service data packet, sending the V2X service data in the V2X service data packet of the first terminal to at least one second terminal in the service receiving area of the first terminal.
In step 131, the method may further include: receiving attribute information of a first terminal sent by a sending base station where the first terminal is located;
in this case, the step 132 first implementation:
the attribute information of the first terminal comprises an identifier of the first terminal; step 132 may specifically include: if the identifier of the first terminal carried in the packet header is the same as the received identifier of the first terminal, transmitting the V2X service data of the first terminal to at least one second terminal in the service receiving area, otherwise, not transmitting the data.
Second implementation of this step 132:
the attribute information of the first terminal includes: a service receiving area of a first terminal; step 132 may specifically include: if the service receiving area of the first terminal carried in the packet header is the same as the received service receiving area of the first terminal, sending the V2X service data of the first terminal to at least one second terminal in the service receiving area, otherwise, not sending the service data.
Alternatively, if the service receiving area identifier is unique (e.g. ECGI) throughout the network, the base station receiving the V2X service packet parses the packet header of the V2X service and identifies the service receiving area therein, and if the area is under its own coverage, sends the V2X service packet, otherwise, does not send the service packet.
That is to say, after receiving a V2X service data packet which is sent by the V2X server through the BM-SC and carries the service receiving area of the first terminal in the packet header, the receiving base station directly sends the V2X service data of the first terminal to at least one second terminal in the service receiving area according to the service receiving area of the first terminal in the packet header.
A third implementation of this step 132:
the attribute information of the first terminal includes: an identifier of a first terminal and a service receiving area; step 132 may specifically include: if the identifier of the first terminal carried in the packet header is the same as the received identifier of the first terminal, and the service receiving area of the first terminal carried in the packet header is the same as the received service receiving area of the first terminal, transmitting the V2X service data of the first terminal to at least one second terminal in the service receiving area, otherwise, not transmitting the service data.
In the above embodiments of the present invention, the base station sends the geographical location information of the UE based on the V2X service, and determines its service receiving area. And the base station informs the receiving base station corresponding to the service receiving area of the identification and/or the service receiving area of the UE. Meanwhile, the base station sends the identity and/or the service receiving area of the UE to the V2X server as a data header of the V2X service together with the V2X service. The V2X server sends the data packet header of the V2X service and the service to the BM-SC, and the BM-SC sends the service to all base stations that have established the service tunnel by broadcast/multicast. The base station receiving the service determines whether the service transmission is required and in which areas by parsing the packet header of the V2X service. Therefore, the V2X service data packets do not need to be broadcast or multicast in all the cells, the overall system capacity, particularly the downlink capacity, can be improved, and the user experience and the system performance are further improved.
