Abstract
The quality of a broadcast stream is varied responsive to changes in the utilization of forward link air interface resources. The network monitors utilization of forward link air interface resources and dynamically changes the forward link air interface resources dedicated to the broadcast stream responsive to changes in the utilization of forward link air interface resources. The quality of the broadcast stream is scaled to the allocated forward link resources. The broadcast stream may include a layered content and scaling can be achieved by varying the number of layers transmitted over the air interface. The network may notify mobile stations in advance when changes in the quality of the broadcast will take place. When the broadcast stream originates with a mobile station, the forward link air interface resources may be limited by the quality of the broadcast stream transmitted over a reverse link channel from the originating mobile station.

Detailed Description Of The Invention
Fig. 1 diagram is used for providing to the mobile subscriber typical wireless network 10 of broadcast/multi broadcast business (BCMCS).Wireless network 10 can be the wireless network of any kind, for example cdma network, WCDMA network, GSM/GPRS network, EDGE network or UMTS network.Fig. 1 illustrates the network 10 according to the cdma2000 standard configuration.Wireless network 10 comprises core network 20 and wireless access network (RAN) 30.Core network 20 is connected to one or more external networks, for example the Internet or other cordless communication network.RAN30 is connected to core network 20, and is used as the access point of mobile radio station 100.
RAN30 comprises Packet Control Function (PCF) 32, base station controller 32 and one or more wireless base station (RBS) 36.The basic function of PCF32 is to set up, keep and be terminated to the connection of PDSN21.BSC34 is controlled at the Radio Resource in their corresponding fields.BSC34 can manage several RBS36.RBS36 is provided for the air interface of communicating by letter with the mobile subscriber.Be entitled as in " CDMA high-speed broadcast-multicast packet data air interface standard (CDMA High Rate broadcast-MulticastPacket Data Air Interface Specification); version 10 (in February, 2004) (BCMCS air interface specification) " in third generation collaborative project 2 (3GPP2) standard acceptance of the bid and described the typical air interface specification that is used to provide the BCMCS business, its content at this by incorporated.
The BCMCS business provides to a plurality of users and sends the identical information stream ability of (being called BCMCS stream here) simultaneously.The BCMCS business can be used for video stream application and provides the video conference ability to mobile radio station 100.Typical video stream application comprises live broadcast and video request program (VOD).Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 illustrate two kinds of application.
In Fig. 2, BCMCS stream flows to many mobile radio stations 100 from BCMCS-CS24, and these mobile radio stations 100 can be positioned at the different sectors of network.The content supplier 50 that is present in core network 20 or the PDN produces the content that BCMCS flows, and it can comprise the radio program of real-time broadcasting or storage.This content is a digital form.If this content supplier is outside this network, then this content supplier is with this content packetization, and to be sent to the BCMCS-CS24 in the core network 20 on IP network, BCMCS-CS24 can be used this content by the mobile radio station in this cordless communication network.This stream is replicated on the breakout of BCMCS stream in network 10, so that can be used by different sectors.One or more RBS36 flow to mobile radio station 100 broadcasting BCMCS on Forward Broadcast Channel.
In Fig. 3, four mobile radio stations 100 (MS1-4) are in the participating television meeting.BCMCS stream from a mobile radio station 100 (MS1) is illustrated, yet those of ordinary skills will be understood that similar BCMCS stream originates from each in the mobile radio station 100.Originating mobile station 100 (MS1) sends BCMCS stream to service RBS36 on the reverse link broadcast channel.Network 10 is routed to one or more terminal RAN30 with this BCMCS stream, and terminal RAN30 broadcasts this BCMCS stream to terminal mobile radio station 100 (MS2-4) on Forward Broadcast Channel.Fig. 3 illustrates three the terminal mobile radio stations 100 (MS2-4) in two different RAN30.
By being entitled as the reception that a plurality of processes of describing in " broadcasting and multicast service framework X.P0019; Rev.0.1.4 (on March 15th, 2004) (framework) (Broadcast and Multicast Services Framework X.P0019; Rve.0.1.4 (March 15,2004) (Framework)) " make it possible to realize the BCMCS business in the acceptance of the bid of 3GPP2 standard.Basic process comprises that service discovering/notice, contents booking, content information obtain, content availability is determined, BCMCS registers, content receives and the BCMCS registration is cancelled.Network 10 provides one or more that user can be asked or notified mechanism about available BCMCS business.BCMCS-CS24 can serve as with mobile radio station 100 in the server of client's application communication.This client uses can ask the BCMCS business information from BCMCS-CS24, and perhaps BCMCS-CS24 can send sending out public notice certainly about the BCMCS business.Other service discovering/informing mechanism comprises the notice via SMS and WAP.No matter what mechanism of use is used for service discovering/notice, all the information that relates to BCMCS content and timetable is offered mobile radio station 100.Service discovering/informing mechanism provides about information and obtains needed essential information that should business, for example content name and zero-time.
The user preengages the BCMCS content, and selects him to want the content that receives.Contents booking can be carried out before or after service discovering/notice.User's subscription information is stored in the user profiles.In order to receive selected content, mobile radio station 100 is communicated by letter with BCMS controller 23, to obtain and the relevant session information of selected BCMCS content.This process is called as content information and obtains.This session information comprises transmission and the such information of application protocol that the stream of BCMCS stream identifier, for example header-compressed and/or the header removal of for example discerning BCMCS stream is handled and used.
The content availability deterministic process makes mobile radio station 100 can determine the availability of particular B CMCS stream.Service RBS36 can send availability information for content to MS in Overhead Message.If mobile radio station 100 can not be found availability information for content from this Overhead Message, then mobile radio station 100 can ask the BCMCS that wants to flow by making the BCMCS registration.
The BCMCS enrollment process is used for asking the transmission of BCMCS stream by mobile radio station 100.BCMCS registration request sends to service RBS36 by mobile radio station 100.If do not set up the bearer path between BCMCS-CS24 and the RBS36, then RBS36 will work in coordination with BCMCS-CS24 and set up bearer path.In case mobile radio station 100 begins to receive BCMCS stream, RBS36 just may require mobile radio station 100 regularly to register.When not receiving the mobile radio station 100 of this stream, registration regularly allows RBS36 this BCMCS stream of going off the air.
The BCH that is used for sending on the interface aloft BCMCS stream can be shared channel or dedicated channel.Usually BCH will have forward link, but not have reverse link.In cdma2000, broadcast channel can comprise one or more forward supplemental channel (F-SCH).In addition, in cdma2000, BCH can for example carry on the forward packet data channel F-PDCH at shared Packet Data Channel.BCH transmits the grouping that comprises the BCMCS content that is produced by BCMCS-CS.BCH can also transmit the forward link signaling message.Each BCMCS stream is associated with identifier.As will be described in more detail, BCMCS stream can comprise one or more tributaries.
BCMCS stream sends to mobile radio station on Forward Broadcast Channel (F-BCH).BCH can comprise several subchannels that are called broadcast logical channel here.BCMCS stream transmits on a broadcast logical channel.Each broadcast logical channel can transmit one or more BCMCS streams.In order to make mobile radio station can successfully find and monitor broadcasted content, need the various parameters relevant with broadcasting are sent to mobile receiver on the interface aloft.This network is broadcasted these parameters with the form of extensively retouching Overhead Message on BCH.This broadcast overhead messages comprises logic channel to the mapping of physical channel be used for other parameter of BCMCS stream, so that mobile radio station can successfully receive this BCMCS stream.
Because video flowing and a large amount of resource of media stream consumption, therefore the invention provides and a kind ofly come the dynamic reallocation air interface resource and regulate the mechanism of BCMCS quality according to the resource that is exclusively used in BCMCS stream in response to changes in demand.For example, when demand surpassed the capacity of available resources, the resource management entity in the network can reduce the air interface resource that is exclusively used in appointment BCMCS stream.In this case, reduce the quality of BCMCS stream so that this BCMCS stream adapts to the air interface resource that reduces.On the contrary, when air interface resource was underutilized, resource management entity can increase the air interface resource that is exclusively used in this BCMCS stream.In this case, the quality that strengthens BCMCS stream flows to provide higher QoS to receive this BCMCS.
Can use the various technology that are used for adaptive BCMCS current mass.For example, can change the source code of broadcasting stream to reduce data rate.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the hierarchical coding algorithm is used for coming corresponding to the demand that changes the quality of adaptive BCMCS stream in conjunction with the Delamination Transmission scheme.The content of each BCMCS stream can comprise video, audio frequency or other content of multimedia, it is encoded as a plurality of layers, these a plurality of layers comprise basic layer and one or more enhancement layer, and wherein one or more enhancement layers can combinedly successively provide qualitative progressive improvement.For example, be used for MPEG-2, the MPEG-4 of video compression and transmission and H.263 standard support the video coding of layering.Basic layer comprises the data of representing the video most important characteristics.Other enhancement layer comprises the data of this video of progressive improvement.For example, MPEG-2 and H.263 standard accumulate the video coding of layering with four kinds of scalable pattern supports, wherein four kinds of scalable patterns are: spatial scalability, time scalability, SNR scalability and data sementation.The combination of these scalable patterns causes the hybrid salable formed by a large amount of layers.Network has the ability that change in response to resource utilization optionally changes the number of plies in the BCMCS stream and optionally changes the BCMCS current mass on each aspect in the network thus.The number of plies in the reduction BCMCS stream has reduced the bandwidth needs of this stream, supports that to reduce this BCMCS flows needed air interface resource.
Fig. 4 is shown in the logical network unit of the bandwidth needs that are used for adaptive BCMCS stream in the exemplary embodiments of the present invention.Explorer 60 monitoring resource utilizations, and determine to distribute to the resource of specifying BCMCS stream.Flow manager 62 receives layered contents from BCMCS-CS24, and the resource that makes layered contents be adapted to distribute in response to explorer 60, in one embodiment, and with hierarchical coding algorithm this content of encoding.Explorer 60 determines to be assigned to hierarchy number or the bit rate that the resource of this stream can be held.This flow manager 62 produces BCMCS stream in response to explorer 60, and this stream has the quality that is adapted to distribute to the resource that this broadcasting flows.During the congested cycle, in fact flow manager 62 serves as adjusting flows to the BCMCS stream of mobile radio station 100 from BCMCS-CS24 adjuster.In a preferred embodiment, BCMCS-CS24 sends to flow manager with all layers, and flow manager matches layer in response to explorer 60.
Many technology can be used for changing the layer in the BCMCS of carrying layered contents stream.In one approach, be called grouping filter method here, BCMCS-CS24 provides to flow manager 62 and comprises a plurality of layers single BCMCS stream.Use hierarchical coding algorithm this BCMCS stream of encoding.Discern grouping by the information in this packet header of being included in corresponding to different layers.Flow manager 62 comprises packet filter, and this packet filter filters the grouping in this BCMCS stream, and is discarded in those groupings that do not send on this air interface.
In another approach, be called many threads method here, BCMCS stream is divided into a plurality of " carefully " streams corresponding to the different coding layer.The independent tributary of each layer conduct sends to flow manager 62 from BCMCS-CS24.Each tributary is associated with identical BCMCS stream identifier.Flow manager 62 is selected to be sent to the layer of mobile radio station 100 on the interface aloft, and abandons nonoptional layer.Preferably, selected layer aloft sends before and can be merged by flow manager 62 on the interface.This method has reduced the calculation requirement on mobile radio station.Replacedly, selected layer can be sent out individually, and merges on mobile radio station 100.
In the third method, be called group of methods here, a plurality of BCMCS streams send to flow manager 62 from BCMCS-CS.Each stream carries identical content, but has the coding layer of varying number.For example, a stream can only comprise basic layer, and second stream can comprise the basic layer and first enhancement layer, and the 3rd stream can comprise basic layer and two enhancement layers.Like this, therefore each stream, be called each stream a group here corresponding to different layer groupings.A plurality of groups can be associated with identical BCMCS stream identifier.May need other identifier to discern each group.According to the resource of distributing to particular B CMCS stream, flow manager 62 is selected the group of the first water that can be held by the resource of distributing to this BCMCS stream.Selected group sends to mobile radio station 100 on the interface aloft.
In a kind of distortion of this group of methods, a plurality of groups can send to mobile radio station 100 on the interface aloft simultaneously.The group that mobile radio station 100 can come independent selection to receive according to the ability and the service profile of mobile radio station.Each group can be encrypted, and need to be stored in the difference reservation in this user's the reservation profile.But, send all groups when the resource time spent.Explorer 60 can dynamically increase or delete the group that sends on the interface aloft according to the availability of air interface resource.
When the quality of adaptive BCMCS stream, can consider the other factors except that network state.For example, this network can utilize the understanding of mobile radio station ability is avoided sending the content that can not be received by any mobile radio station 100.For example, if there is not to receive and to handle mobile radio station more than 3 layers, then sending on the interface more than three layers aloft is waste resources.The mobile radio station ability is illustrated by the broken lines in Fig. 4 to the feedback of explorer 60.
The resource utilization of the different business of explorer 60 monitoring such as voice, grouped data and broadcasting services, and determine how to distribute available radio resources.Explorer 60 dynamically changes the distribution of those resources according to resource utilization.If it is congested that sector begins to experience, then the redistribute resources that BCMCS just can used of explorer 60 is to speech business or other business.On the contrary, if sector load is light, then explorer 60 can be given the BCMCS business with untapped resource allocation, to improve QoS.
The resource of management will depend on the type of the channel that is used to transmit broadcasting service.For the forward-link communication in the cdma network, type according to the channel that is used for transport service, explorer 60 can be managed two types resource-1) be used for Walsh (Walsh) sign indicating number and the power of dedicated channel, and 2) be used for the time slot and the power of shared channel.Flow needed bandwidth based on BCMCS, explorer 60 determines which type of specific resources is distributed to this BCMCS stream, and determines the number of plies that can be held by institute's Resources allocation.Flow manager 62 correspondingly changes the quality of BCMCS stream in response to explorer 60.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, explorer 60 is measured for example use of the limited resources of power and available walsh codes.Explorer 60 can be measured current available stock number that using or current.For example, if the resource of monitoring is a power, then explorer 60 can be monitored by each professional gross power of using with by all professional rates of using altogether.Explorer can be compared the power measurement result with indication predetermined threshold congested or that underuse.Based on the comparison of predetermined threshold, the explorer air interface resource of can reallocating is to reduce the stock number that is consumed by BCMCS.As described above, can adjust the quality of BCMCS stream by using the hierarchical coding algorithm.
Explorer 60 can use the filtration load designator to come adaptive broadcast channel.Because resource utilization may change rapidly in mobile communication system, can be filtered to adjust 60 pairs of responsivenesses that change state of explorer so determine the employed tolerance of resource of distributing to BCMCS.For example making the content changing in the broadcasting will not be desirable too rapidly, realize that this changes needed expense because frequent change can increase.In addition, the too frequent change of broadcasting-quality can be done just user.
In another aspect of this invention, when changing the quality of BCMCS stream, network provides clearly notice to mobile radio station 100, with avoid service disconnection and realize changing between level and smooth transformation.The possible operation pattern relevant with this BCMCS stream can be notified to mobile radio station 100.For example during content information obtains or in registration with during receiving BCMCS stream, mobile radio station can obtain this information.Each operator scheme defines the BCMCS session parameter of this coding corresponding to one group and mobile radio station 100 successfully receives and the BCMCS that decodes flows needed other parameter.Each operator scheme has the pattern recognition symbol of unique this operator scheme of identification.
According to the present invention, provide the notice that changes in the BCMCS stream by sending the new session parameters that comprises the pattern recognition symbol to mobile radio station 100.The session parameter that comprises the pattern recognition symbol can be used as the part of broadcast service parameters message (BSPM) in paging channel (PCH) or upward transmission of Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH).BSPM makes network can specify the broadcast control message of the session parameter relevant with BCMCS stream.Session parameter can also be specified and the relevant new logic-physical mappings (LPM) of this BCMCS stream.
According to one embodiment of present invention, two new arguments are increased to BSPM: service time parameter and operate time parameter.Service time, parameter was the 1-bit indicator, and this designator notice mobile radio station 100 is unsettled with the change that BCMCS flows in the relevant session parameter.Operate time, parameter accurately notified the change in mobile radio station 100 session parameters when will be effective.Service time, parameter was single bit.When service time, parameter was set to " 1 ", mobile radio station 100 was indicated in the parameter operate time time of appointment and brings into use the new session parameters that is included among the BSPM.Operate time, parameter was the 6-bit field, and its unit with 80 milliseconds (moulds 64) comes the new argument of indication mechanism time broadcast channel will become effective.
When mobile radio station 100 received BSPM, mobile radio station 100 was compared the sequence number of BSPM with the sequence number in being stored in memory, whether received this message with before determining.If, then ignore this message, if BSPM is a new information, then mobile radio station 100 is handled the residue field in these message.Any new BSPM parameter all is stored in the memory.If service time, parameter was set to " 1 ", then mobile radio station continued to use old BSPM parameter before the operate time of appointment, called new argument then.The parameter of BSPM can be specified the variation in new logic channel-physical channel mapping and/or the BCMCS stream content.For example, BSPM can indicate the employed coding of broadcasting and the number of plies to mobile radio station 100.
In cdma system, the mobile radio station 100 in soft handover/More Soft Handoff can receive identical information from two or more sectors.In order to merge the information that sends from two or more sectors, mobile radio station 100 need receive identical information from two sectors.When the mobile radio station 100 that receives BCMCS stream is in soft handover, needed coordinated by the transmission of soft merging from a plurality of sectors.Except transmission was used for the LPM and operator scheme of BCMCS stream, network can also transmit to mobile radio station can merged soft handover neighborhood.In this case, mobile radio station 100 can be programmed for only soft merging from those can compatible sector transmission.
Is to have one to trade off between the best sector allowing mobile radio station 100 soft combination with the change in the BCMCS stream being restricted to only that those change therein.Thereby mobile radio station 100 may always can be in conjunction with the transmission from adjacent sectors.For example, if a sector load is light, and adjacent sector load is heavy, then can send BCMCS stream in each sector with different codings.In this case, mobile radio station 100 can not be in conjunction with the BCMCS stream from adjacent sectors.In many cases, can tolerate the forfeiture of the soft combination ability that the BCMCS from different sectors is flowed.Yet, if the sector is little, and mobile radio station 100 high-speed mobile, may be more remarkable from the forfeiture of the soft combination ability of the BCMCS stream of different sectors.If the service provider thinks that the soft combination ability is important, then the service provider can be grouped into the sector bigger service area.Each sector in service area sends same BCMCS stream, thereby keeps the ability of soft combination from the BCMCS stream of different sectors in the identical broadcasts district.In this case, each service area can have single explorer 60.If service area is corresponding to one group of sector by single BSC34 management, then explorer 60 can be positioned on the BSC34 easily.In another embodiment, explorer 60 can be positioned PCF32 in the RAN30 and goes up or be positioned on the BSN22 in the core network 20.Resource utilization in explorer 60 monitoring all sectors in service area, and determine the operator scheme that this BCMCS flows.In this case, explorer 60 is selected the operator scheme of the first water that can be held by all sectors.
Up to the present among the described embodiment, supposed that BCMCS stream originates from cable network and ends at mobile radio station.In this case, broadcasting stream sends to RBS36 from content supplier 50 on cable network, and sends to mobile radio station 100 on the interface aloft by RBS36.In some embodiments of the invention, BCMCS stream can initiate on mobile radio station 100 and stop.A kind of application that this situation may occur is video conference as shown in Figure 3, if two or more mobile radio station 100 positive participating television meetings, then each mobile radio station 100 produces BCMCS stream, this BCMCS stream sends to cordless communication network 10 on reverse chain channel, and be routed to the RBS36 that service is provided for this reception mobile radio station 100, and on forward link broadcast channel, send to and receive mobile radio station 100 by network 10.In this case, explorer 60 as the use of describing in the past describe below some change and control the resource that is used for forward link channel, to consider from originating mobile station 100 to network the performance of 10 reverse chain channel.More particularly, providing aspect the Forward Broadcast Channel, explorer 60 can have been considered the performance from the reverse link of mobile radio station 100.The resource of reverse chain-circuit capacity that has exceeded from the mobile radio station that starts for the BCMCS flow distribution is no advantage on the forward link.By considering the performance of reverse link, avoided the supply that exceeds of forward link.Therefore, explorer 60 can limit the air interface resource that is assigned to BCMCS stream based on the reverse chain-circuit capacity from the mobile radio station 100 that starts.
