Definitions
- the present invention related to a method and apparatus for providing multicast and/or broadcast service optimisations in wireless LAN networks, including that set forth in IEEE 802.11.
- the problem with the current multicast service scheme in IEEE 802.11 networks is related to power save functionality.
- the base standard defines fixed power save scheme to be used by broadcast and different multicast services.
- the scheme basically defines a fixed listen interval for the non-AP STAs.
- the AP will buffer all the broadcast and multicast traffic and after specific DTIM Beacon frame (DTIM is every nth Beacon frame) it will deliver automatically all the buffered broadcast and multicast traffic.
- DTIM is every nth Beacon frame
- the services may vary from very basic IP level broadcast services like Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) , which typically have low bit rates with relaxed delay requirements, to different multicast streaming services (audio, video,...) having high bit rate requirements and more strict real time requirements .
- ARP Address Resolution Protocol
- DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
- WLAN multicast service enhancement there can be different services: others like ARP are creating IP connectivity for the terminal. These protocols are running in the background all the time. When the terminal is inactive, in stand by state, the power consumption to receive data from these protocols defines the stand by power consumption. These protocols require long multicast/broadcast listen intervals, in order to reduce activity periods and power consumption. Some applications, like audio and video services, need short multicast listening intervals in order to meet QoS and delay requirements .
- the AP can indicate that there is buffered broadcast or multicast data with the same single bit. This causes the terminals to listen to the multicast data even though they would not be receiving any themselves.
- the present invention provides a new and unique method and apparatus for communicating information between two nodes, points or terminals in a wireless local area network (WLAN) , wherein a variable multicast and/or broadcast listen interval and associated signalling is allowed between the two nodes, points or terminals in the wireless LAN network.
- WLAN wireless local area network
- the two nodes, points or terminals include an access point (AP) or other suitable network node or terminal and a station (STA) or other suitable network node or terminal in the WLAN.
- AP access point
- STA station
- the AP and the STA can indicate its capability to support flexible multicast and broadcast listening intervals by using the fields specified in this invention in Beacon and Probe Response frames and in
- the multicast and broadcast service is setup by using Multicast and Broadcast Service Setup signalling.
- the present invention allows flexible multicast and broadcast listening interval usage in the MAC level.
- One part of the present invention is a signalling scheme that can be used to setup the listen interval per multicast group.
- broadcast traffic shall be transmitted using a legacy DTIM interval, but the DTIM interval can be set to be rather long as there is no need to support different multicast services, which typically have tighter requirements, anymore.
- the present invention also includes a mechanism that allows the AP to advertise active multicast and broadcast services within the BSS.
- the present invention also includes a mechanism to indicate separately whether there are buffered broadcast traffic or buffered multicast traffic (per each multicast group (address)) in the AP.
- the present invention provides means to achieve better performance for broadcast and multicast services in IEEE 802.11 networks by enabling:
- beacons and probe responses can be used to advertise active listen intervals using a Multicast service information element therein, as described by way of example in the aforementioned related provisional patent application 60/733,999, identified by docket no. WFVA/Nokia Nos . 944- 4.59/NC46867 related to sections of IEEE P802.ll, which provides an indication about buffered broadcast/multicast data in the AP (Buffered Traffic Indication) .

- Figure Ib shows the basic steps of the method according to some embodiments of the present invention.
- Figure 2 shows an access point (AP) according to some embodiments of the present invention.
- Figure 3 shows a station (STA) according to some embodiments of the present invention.
- FIGS 4a and 4b show diagrams of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) packet network architecture according to some embodiments of the present invention.
- UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
- FIG. Ia shows, by way of example, an IEEE 802.11 WLAN system generally indicated as 2 , which provides for communications between communications equipment such as mobile and secondary devices including personal digital assistants (PDAs) 3, laptops 4 and printers 5, etc.
- the WLAN system may be connected to a wired LAN system that allows wireless devices to access information and files on a file server or other suitable device or connecting to the Internet.
- the devices can communicate directly with each other in the absence of a base station in a so-called "ad-hoc" network, or they can communicate through a base station, called an access point (AP) in IEEE 802.11 terminology, labeled 6 with distributed services through the AP using local distributed services (DS) or wide area extended services, as shown.

- the present invention provides a new and unique method and apparatus for communicating information between two such nodes, STAs, points or terminals in such a wireless local area network (WLAN) shown in Figure Ia, wherein a variable multicast and/or broadcast listening interval and associated signalling is allowed between the two nodes, STAs, points or terminals in the wireless LAN network.
- Figure Ib shows the basic steps 7 and 8 of the method according to some embodiments of the present invention.
- the two nodes, STAs, points or terminals in the WLAN may- include an access point (AP) or other suitable network node or terminal 10 shown in Figure 2 and a station (STA) or other suitable network node or terminal 20 shown in Figure 3, for operating in a wireless LAN network consistent with that shown in Figure Ia.
- AP access point
- STA station
- the AP 10 and the STA 20 have corresponding modules 12 and 22 configured for allowing the variable multicast listening interval and associated signalling between the two nodes, points or terminals in the wireless LAN network. In effect, the scheme allows negotiation for both multicast and broadcast type data.
- the basic implementation and cooperation of the AP 10 and STA 20 may include the following:
- the AP and the STA have possibilities to indicate its capability to support a flexible multicast and broadcast listening interval by using new fields in Beacon and Probe Response frames and in (re) Association request frames.
- these new fields are described in the aforementioned related provisional patent application serial no. 60/733,999, filed on 4 November 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, which corresponds to sections of IEEE 802.11 related to Radio Resource Management Capabilities.
- the scope of the invention is not intended to be limited to using the new fields in Beacon and Probe Response frames and in (re) Association request frames described in the aforementioned application.
- embodiments are envisioned and the scope of the invention is intended to include using other types of fields in Beacon and Probe Response frames and in (re) Association request frames either now known or later developed in the future.
- the multicast and broadcast service can be setup by using Multicast and Broadcast Service Setup signalling. During this signalling phase the listening interval for the multicast and broadcast service can be agreed upon.
- the STA can propose a listening interval based on the multicast and broadcast service characteristic and the AP can either accept the proposal or define a new listen interval. The same listening interval should be used for all terminals that receive the same multicast and broadcast transmission.
- multicast Service Setup is described in the aforementioned related provisional patent application serial no. 60/733,999, which corresponds to sections of IEEE 802.11 related to frame formats.
- the scope of the invention is not intended to be limited to using the multicast Service Setup described therein.
- embodiments are envisioned and the scope of the invention is intended to include using other types of multicast Service Setups either now known or later developed in the future .
- the AP can also advertise the active listen intervals by sending Multicast Service Info information element is each Beacon and Probe Response frame.
- this information element is described in provisional patent application serial no. 60/733,999, which corresponds to sections of IEEE 802.11, although embodiments are envisioned and the scope of the invention is intended to include using other types of information elements either now known or later developed in the future.
- the AP can also indicate whether there are buffered broadcast data (Buffered Broadcast Data) and/or buffered multicast traffic belonging to certain multicast group (Buffered Traffic Indication) .
- Buffered Broadcast Data buffered multicast traffic belonging to certain multicast group
- Multicast Service Info field in the Beacon and Probe Responses may be valuable information for the roaming STAs as they will immediately know what are the active multicast services within the BSS.
- Enhanced Multicast and Broadcast Power Management With enhanced multicast and broadcast service according to some embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to create flexible service intervals for multicast and broadcast services .
- a service interval for the multicast and broadcast service is created by using the multicast and broadcast service setup signaling.
- a non-AP STA wishing to join the multicast group can propose multicast listen interval to the AP.
- the Multicast and Broadcast listening interval can be either multiple of Beacon periods or it can be specified in number of Time Units (TUs) . Duration of TU is 1024 micro seconds.
- the AP will make the selection of the multicast and broadcast listening interval and will indicate it in Multicast and Broadcast Service Setup Response frame, in Multicast Service Mode Change frame and in Beacon and Probe Response frames .
- the AP shall send a beacon with a complete Multicast Service Info field at every beacon .
- Another embodiment of the invention would be to send a complete Multicast Service Info field at every DTIM beacon.
- the AP shall transmit a Multicast Service Info element that contains information of Multicast services that transmit data after this TBTT. If the multicast data transmission is scheduled after the TBTT and the multicast address is not listed in Mulitcast Service Info, no data from the multicast address is transmitted after the TBTT.
- Multicast Service Info element that is transmitted after TIM beacon TBTT shall not contain information of the multicast services that transmit data between TUs .
- a Buffered Traffic Indication bit shall be set if there are buffered frames belonging to particular multicast group.
- the AP will send all multicast frames belonging to a particular multicast group after the service interval which is specified for the multicast and broadcast service.
- the More Data field in MAC headers of each multicast frame shall be set to indicate the presence of further buffered multicast MSDUs from the multicast address. If the AP is unable to transmit all of the buffered multicast MSDUs before the next TBTT, the AP shall indicate that it will continue to deliver the multicast MSDUs by setting the Buffered Traffic Indication bit in Multicast Service Info field to 1. Buffered Traffic Indication bit shall be set to 1 until all buffered multicast frames have been transmitted.
- the non-AP STA shall wake up before the specified multicast and broadcast listening interval.
- a non-AP STA shall remain awake until the More Data field of the multicast MSDU indicates there are no further buffered multicast MSDUs, or until Multicast Service is not listed in Multicast Service Info field or Buffered Traffic Indication field indicates that there are no further buffered multicast MSDUs.
- broadcast and multicast traffic may need to be delivered the traditional way as well unless the AP is sure that all the associated STAs can use enhanced broadcast/multicast service.
- the STAs using enhanced broadcast/multicast service may need to take this into account in order to avoid duplicated frames .
- Alternative implementation options are: • The AP may know the multicast service characteristic itself and may setup the listen interval independently without any multicast service setup signalling. • Multicast Service Info could be sent also in separate frame. By this way the overhead in Beacons is reduced. On the other hand this may not be good from the e.g., roaming STAs point of view. Also from the power save point of view it is good that this info appears with known interval so that the STA can optimise it sleeping cycles accordingly.
- AP may set the complete Multicast Service Info element to all beacons .
- the functionality of the AP 10 and STA 20 described above may be implemented in the corresponding modules 12 and 22 shown in Figures 3 and 4.
- the functionality of the modules 12 and 22 may be implemented using hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof, although the scope of the invention is not intended to be limited to any particular embodiment thereof.
- the module 12 and 22 would be one or more microprocessor-based architectures having a microprocessor, a random access memory (RAM) , a read only memory (ROM) , input/output devices and control, data and address buses connecting the same.
- the other modules 14 and 24 and the functionality thereof are known in the art, do not form part of the underlying invention per se, and are not described in detail herein.
- the other modules 24 may include other modules that formal part of a typical mobile telephone or terminal, such as a UMTS subscriber identity module (USIM) and mobile equipment (ME) module, which are known in the art and not described herein.
- USIM UMTS subscriber identity module
- ME mobile equipment
- the present invention allows flexible listen (sleeping) intervals for the multicast services, resulting in more optimal power save for the STAs; separates broadcast and multicast services with different listen intervals and different indications for buffered data; and multicast service info broadcast gives information of the ongoing multicast transmissions for the roaming STAs, where this information may speed up the multicast service setup.
- Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Packet Network Architecture UMTS Packet Network Architecture
- FIGs 4a and 4b show diagrams of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) packet network architecture.
- the UMTS packet network architecture includes the major architectural elements of user equipment (UE) , UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) , and core network (CN) .
- the UE is interfaced to the UTRAN over a radio (Uu) interface, while the UTRAN interfaces to the core network (CN) over a (wired) Iu interface.
- Figure 4b shows some further details of the architecture, particularly the UTRAN, which includes multiple Radio Network Subsystems (RNSs) , each of which contains at least one Radio Network Controller (RNC) .
- RNSs Radio Network Subsystems
- RNC Radio Network Controller
- each RNC may be connected to multiple Node Bs which are the UMTS counterparts to GSM base stations.
- Each Node B may be in radio contact with multiple UEs via the radio interface (Uu) shown in Fig. 4a.
- a given UE may be in radio contact with multiple Node Bs even if one or more of the Node Bs are connected to different RNCs.
- a UEl in Fig. 4b may be in radio contact with Node B2 of RNSl and Node B3 of RNS2 where Node B2 and Node B3 are neighboring Node Bs.
- the RNCs of different RNSs may be connected by an Iur interface which allows mobile UEs to stay in contact with both RNCs while traversing from a cell belonging to a Node B of one RNC to a cell belonging to a Node B of another RNC.
- the convergence of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN system in Figure Ia and the (UMTS) packet network architecture in Figures 4a and 4b has resulted in STAs taking the form of UEs, such as mobile phones or mobile terminals.
- the interworking of the WLAN (IEEE 802.11) shown in Figure Ia with such other technologies (e.g. 3GPP, 3GPP2 or 802.16) such as that shown in Figures 2a and 2b is being defined at present in protocol specifications for 3GPP and 3GPP2.
- the scope of the invention is intended to include implementations of the same in relation to such a UMTS packet network architecture.
- the invention comprises the features of construction, combination of elements, and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth. It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, and those made apparent from the preceding description, are efficiently attained and, since certain changes may be made in the above construction without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
