本发明涉及一种通信应用领域, 尤其涉及一种统计多媒体广播多播业务 的收视量的方法、 网元及系统。 背景技术
为了有效地利用移动网络资源, 第三代合作伙伴计划 ( 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP ) 提出了多媒体广播多播业务 ( Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service, MBMS ) , 在移动网络中提供一个数据源向多 个用户发送数据的点到多点业务, 实现网络资源共享, 提高网络资源的利用 率, 尤其是空口接口资源。 3GPP定义的 MBMS不仅能实现纯文本低速率的 消息类多播和广播, 而且还能实现高速多媒体业务的多播和广播。
为了更优分配 MBMS的用户业务资源, 同时也为了可以根据 MBMS的 收视量更有针对性的开展业务, 如节目的投放、 广告的投放, 需要对 MBMS的收视量进行统计, 发明人经过研究发现, 在现有的 MBMS业务模 式下, 其中广播模式和增强广播模式还无法支持对 MBMS 的收视量进行统 计, 多播模式下可以统计, 但是需要在网络侧各个网元存储用户设备 (User Equipment, UE) 的上下文, 占用过多的网络资源。 发明内容

图 1 为 WCDMA/GSM 网络中多播和广播业务实现的系统架构图, MBMS基于宽带分码多址 (Wideband CDMA, WCDMA) /全球移动通讯系 统 (Global System for Mobile Communications, GSM) 分组网, 这里也不限 于上述两种网络, 也包括了时分-同歩码分多址 (Time Division- Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access, TD-SCDMA)网络等, 在网络侧中新增了广播 多播业务中心 (Broadcast Multicast Service Centre, BM-SC) 等功能实体, 并对已有的分组域功能实体如服务 GPRS支持节点 (Serving GPRS Support Node , SGSN ) 、 网关 GPRS 支持节点 (Gateway GPRS Support Node , GGSN) 、 无线网络控制器 (Radio Network Controller, RNC) 、 基站和 UE 等增加 MBMS功能, 定义了新的逻辑共享信道来实现空口资源共享, 从而 实现 MBMS业务的交互过程。 MBMS的网络参考模型如图 1所示。 MBMS 承载业务的边缘为 Gmb、 Gi参考点, 即广播多播业务中心 BM-SC与 GGSN 之间的接口, Gmb参考点提供控制面功能, 参考点提供用户面承载功 能。
在 MBMS 中存在三种业务模式, 如广播模式、 多播模式和增强广播模 式, 其中:
广播模式在会话开始后, RNC会在业务服务区的所有小区公共共享信 道上进行广播, RNC和 UE之间不存在信令交互, 导致 RNC无法知道小区 中某业务是否有 UE接收、 以及 UE的数量, 而且整个会话过程中始终占用 一条公共共享信道, 严重浪费了空口资源。
多播模式中引入了统计 /重统计 (Counting/Recounting) 技术, 根据小区 基站 (NodeB ) 中某个 MBMS承载业务的 UE数量, 确定选用的点对点 (Point To Point, PTP) 或点对多点 (Point To Multipoint, PTM) 承载, 并 可以根据 UE数量的变化进行切换; 当没有 UE时, 则该业务不发送。 但为 了支持组播模式, 在 Uu/Iub/Iu/Gn/Gmb参考点新增了不少的信令, 而且 RNC和 SGSN、 SGSN、 BM-SC都需要对 UE进行 MBMS业务管理、 保存
UE的上下文。 UE选择某个感兴趣的节目后, 需要从 UE到 BM-SC进行端 到端的信令交互, 再建立承载资源。
多播模式下, 当用户从一个正在观看的频道切换到另一个频道, 将会导 致 UE到 BM-SC之间所有网元都进行消息交互, 效率非常低, 因此有了 MBMS增强广播模式。 增强广播模式在广播模式的基础上继承了多播模式 的 Counting/Recounting技术, 因此 UE和网络侧的信令交互到 RNC为止, SGSN、 GGSN、 BM-SC不知道 UE的状态、 不存储 UE的上下文。
在 MBMS多播模式下, UE使用 MBMS业务过程中, RNC、 SGSN、 GGSN、 BM-SC都存储有 UE的上下文 (包含的数据有用户的标识、 MBMS 业务标识) , 因此只需要在 BM-SC中做简单的统计即可完成的 MBMS收 视量统计, 但是这种统计方法由于需要在各个网元都要存储 UE的上下文, 需要使用较多的网络资源。 而对于增强广播模式来说, UE和网络侧的信令 交互到 RNC为止, SGSN和 GGSN、 BM-SC不知道 UE的状态, 因此无法 进行 MBMS的收视量的统计。
图 2A和图 2B给出了本发明实施例中的统计 MBMS收视量的系统架构 图。
在图 2A中, 广播多播业务中心 (BM-SC) 可以作为统计分析网元, BM-SC与核心网 (CoreNet) 、 核心网与 UMTS 陆地无线接入网 (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, UTRAN) 、 UTRAN与用户设备 (UE) 是 多对多的关系, 如一个 RNC上所对应的基站可以是多个, 基站上所对应的 UE可以是多个, 上一级网元设备可以对应于多个下一级网元设备。 本发明 实施例在 RNC、 SGSN, GGSN增加收视量统计功能, 使得 RNC、 SGSN, GGSN可以完成其自身网元上统计范围内的 MBMS收视量的统计和上报, 具体实现上可以在 Gmb、 Gn、 Iu_ps 参考点增加统计通知消息, 通知 GGSN, SGSN, RNC启动 MBMS的收视量统计功能, 统计通知消息中携带 统计上报的频率、 对某一或某些网络侧网元上的广播多播收视量进行统计的 网元标识, 对某 MBMS用户业务的收视量进行统计的 MBMS承载业务标识 等参数。 在 Gmb、 Gn、 Iu_ps 参考点增加统计上报消息, 上报统计的 MBMS业务的收视量数据。 需要说明的是, 这里的 MBMS用户业务是指供 UE消费的具体频道; MBMS承载业务是指为了将 MBMS用户业务传输到 核心网、 无线网、 UE分配的网络资源和空口的无线承载资源, 该无线承载 资源可能是点到点的专用信道, 或者点到多点的共享信道。 一个 MBMS用 户业务可以使用多个 MBMS承载业务承载, BM-SC可以记录 MBMS用户 业务标识和 MBMS承载业务标识之间的对应关系。

BM-SC用于接收 GGSN上报的该 GGSN上的 MBMS 的收视量, 将 GGSN上报的 MBMS收视量进行累加得到最终的 MBMS收视量统计结果, 并将该统计结果通过界面呈现出来, 运营商或服务提供商可以根据该 MBMS收视量统计结果调整节目安排或针对性发送广告。

MBMS 的收视量, 将下级网元上报的 MBMS收视量进行累加得到最终的 MBMS收视量统计结果; 有些情况下, 统计分析网元根据预先设置的统计 参数选择需要进行统计的第一网元, 并将所述需要统计的第一网元上报的 MBMS的收视量进行累加, 得到 MBMS的收视量统计结果。 将该统计结果 通过界面呈现出来, 运营商或服务提供商可以根据该 MBMS收视量统计结 果调整节目安排或针对性发送广告。
需要说明的是, 在图 2B所给出的实施例中, 统计分析网元为数据业务 平台, 实际上此处的统计分析网元也可以是 BM-SC, 在这种情况下, 与图 2A的实施例不同的是, 此处的 GGSN、 SGSN, RNC除了可以通过已有的 Gmb、 Gn、 Iu_ps参考点与 BM-SC相连接之外, 还可以通过新增 RNC与 BM-SC、 SGSN与 BM-SC之间的接口实现 RNC与 BM-SC、 SGSN与 BM- SC 的直接通信, 从而可以使得 RNC或 SGSN直接将其上统计范围内的 MBMS的收视量上报给 BM-SC。 这种方式需要在 RNC与 BM-SC、 SGSN 与 BM-SC之间新增接口, 相对于图 2A利用现有接口的方式的对现网的改 动较大, 但是可以节约信令传递资源。
图 3示出了本发明实施例中的 RNC结构示意图, 可以包括: 接收模块 31、 设置模块 32、 发送模块 33、 统计 /重统计模块 34、 定时模块 35、 统计 模块 36、 缓存模块 37。 其中:
接收模块 31用于接收所对应的 SGSN或统计分析网元发送的统计通知 消息, 该接收模块 31为可选, 因为可以通过设置模块 32获得启动统计功能 所需的统计参数, 所以不必一定要通过接收所对应的 SGSN或统计分析网元 发送的统计通知消息获取统计参数来启动统计功能。
设置模块 32用于通过配置文件或者网管设备等方法对启动收视量统计 功能所需的统计参数进行设置, 该模块同样可选。
接收模块 31接收的统计通知消息承载的统计参数或设置模块 32设置的 统计参数可以包括统计上报频率、 MBMS承载业务标识、 对某一或某些网 络侧网元上的 MBMS 的收视量进行统计的网元标识, 对某一或某些小区内 的 MBMS的收视量进行统计的小区标识。
统计 /重统计模块 34用于获得 RNC在统计 /重统计过程中收集的接收 MBMS的 UE数量, 并将接收 MBMS的 UE数量的结果数据发送给统计模 块 36。
定时模块 35用于根据接收模块 31接收的或设置模块 32设置的统计参 数启动定时任务, 所述统计参数中含有统计上报频率参数, 在定时任务结束 时指定发送模块 33上报统计的 MBMS的收视量数据给上一级所对应的网元 SGSN或统计分析网元, 或指令统计模块 36在定时任务结束时对 RNC上的 MBMS的收视量进行统计,需要说明的是, 定时模块 35不是可选的, 收视量 的上报和统计的触发也可以是事件触发而不一定是时间触发。
统计模块 36用于接收统计 /重统计模块 34发送的在统计 /重统计过程中 收集的接收 MBMS的 UE数量, 并从接收模块 31或设置模块 32获得统计 参数, 并在定时模块 35启动的定时任务结束时, 对统计 /重统计模块 34在 Counting/Recounting过程中收集到的接收多媒体广播多播业务的 UE数量 (一般是每个小区内接收每项 MBMS业务的 UE数量) 按照统计参数的具 体设定进行收视量的统计, 通过选择对应的 MBMS承载业务标识和小区标 识的 UE数量, 将选择的对应的 UE数量进行累加得到统计范围内的 MBMS 的收视量。
发送模块 33用于将统计模块 36所统计的 MBMS的收视量上报给所对 应的 SGSN或统计分析网元。
RNC通常是以小区为单位收集每个小区内接收每项 MBMS业务的 UE 数量, 由于通常 Counting/Recounting过程是以小区为单位获取某个具体小 区 内 的使用 每个 MBMS 承载业务的 UE 数量 , 一般一次 Counting/Recounting过程只统计一个小区, 所以如果所需统计的范围是涉及 多个小区, 此时需要将 Counting/Recounting过程中获取结果数据进行缓 存, 以便统计时可以获得所统计范围内的小区的接收 MBMS承载业务的 UE信息; 有时所需统计的收视量可能是具体的某个时间段内或某个用户业 务频道, 而统计 /重统计模块 34是实时统计, 对历史数据并不能全部保留, 所以此时也需要缓存结果数据, 在上面两种情况下都需要缓存模块 37, 缓 存模块 37可以是通过文件或者是通过内存将结果数据进行缓存, 所述结果 数据可以包括 MBMS承载业务标识、 MBMS承载业务的 UE数量、 统计时 间、 UE标识、 RNC标识、 小区标识等, 当缓存模块 37缓存的结果数据被 读取后, 清除缓存数据, 如果缓存的数据到达一定的量后未被读取, 缓存模 块 37则定时清除。 统计模块 36可以利用这些缓存的结果数据, 按照统计参 数, 选择需统计的结果数据, 如选择相应的区域、 相应的统计时间、 相应的 MBMS承载业务的 UE数量, 将选择的 UE数量进行统计累加得到 RNC上 的 MBMS的收视量。 但缓存模块 37可选, 因为有些统计需求并不存在上述 两种情况, 此时不需要缓存统计 /重统计模块 34的结果数据。
图 4示出了本发明实施例中的 SGSN或 GGSN结构示意图, 可以包 括: 接收模块 41、 设置模块 42、 发送模块 43、 转发模块 44、 获取模块 45、 定时模块 46、 统计模块 47, 其中: 接收模块 41用于接收所对应的上级网元 (对于 SGSN可以是 GGSN或 统计分析网元, 对于 GGSN可以是统计分析网元, 所述统计分析网元可以 是 BM-SC) 发送的统计通知消息, 该统计通知消息中承载有统计参数, 该 接收模块 41可选, 因为可以通过设置模块 42进行统计参数的设置。
设置模块 42用于通过配置文件或者网管设备等方法对启动收视量统计 功能所需的统计参数进行设置, 接收模块 41接收或设置模块 42设置的统计 参数可以包括统计上报频率、 MBMS承载业务标识、 对某一或某些网络侧 网元上的 MBMS 的收视量进行统计的网元标识, 对某一或某些小区内的 MBMS的收视量进行统计的小区标识。 需要说明的该设置模块 42可选, 因 为可以通过接收模块 41接收统计通知消息来获得统计参数。
发送模块 43用于将统计模块 47所统计的 MBMS的收视量上报给所对 应的 GGSN或统计分析网元等。
相应的, 该 SGSN或 GGSN中还包括转发模块 44和获取模块 45, 其 中: 转发模块 44用于将统计参数转发给下一级网元, 如果统计参数通过接 收模块 41接收的统计通知消息承载, 则转发模块 44直接将统计通知消息转 发给下一级网元设备, 如果统计参数是通过设置模块 42进行配置得到, 则 转发模块 44获取统计参数并可以将统计参数封装成统计通知消息转发给下 一级网元, 该转发模块 44可选。
获取模块 45用于接收下一级网元上报的下一级网元上的 MBMS的收视 S o
定时模块 46用于根据统计参数启动定时任务, 所述统计参数含有统计 上报频率参数, 该定时模块 46会根据统计上报频率参数启动定时任务, 指 令发送模块 43将统计结果发送给上一级网元, 或触发统计模块 47在定时任 务结束时进行统计, 需要说明的是该定时模块 46为可选, 如果统计通知消 息中未设置统计上报频率参数则不需要该定时模块 46, 统计模块 47也可以 不根据定时任务触发统计, 而根据事件 (如节目开始或结束等) 触发统计, 将获得模块 45获得的各下一级网元 MBMS收视量进行累加, 此时也不需要 定时模块 46。
统计模块 47用于根据接收模块 41接收的统计通知消息中的统计参数或 设置模块 42设置的统计参数确定统计范围, 该统计参数中含有相应的所需 统计的 MBMS承载业务标识和需统计的小区标识或网元标识, 根据这些可 以确定需要统计的 MBMS承载业务和区域范围等, 统计模块 47并可以根据 定时模块 46启动的定时任务触发启动统计功能, 在定时任务结束时将获取 模块 45在定时时间内获取的下一级网元上报的 MBMS的收视量进行累加得 到该网元上的 MBMS收视量; 统计模块 47也可以不根据定时模块 46启动 的定时任务进行统计, 而直接根据统计通知消息中的 MBMS承载业务标 识, 将获取模块 45获取的下一级网元上报的 MBMS的收视量进行累加, 或 者根据事件 (如节目开始或结束等) 触发统计。
图 5示出了本发明实施例中的统计分析网元的结构示意图, 该统计分析 网元可以是 BM-SC或数据业务平台, 统计分析网元可以包括: 发送模块 51、 获取模块 54, 其中: 发送模块 51用于向下级网元发送统计通知消息, 所述下级网元可以是 GGSN、 SGSN、 RNC; 获取模块 54用于接收下级网 元上报的该下级网元上的 MBMS的收视量。
定时模块 56用于根据设置模块 52设置的统计通知消息启动定时任务, 触发该统计模块 55统计 MBMS收视量; 统计模块 55用于在定时模块 56启 动定时任务结束时, 根据设置模块 52设置的统计通知消息中设置的统计参 数进行统计。

图 6示出了本发明实施例中的统计 MBMS的收视量的流程图, 具体歩 骤如下:
S601 : RNC与多个 UE之间进行 Counting/Recounting的交互, UTRAN 的 RNC通过 Counting/Recounting来控制 MBMS承载业务的 PtP、 PtM切 换, 并收集各小区接收 MBMS承载业务的 UE数量;
S602: 在统计分析网元中设置统计通知消息参数;
所述统计通知消息中的参数可以包括统计上报频率、 MBMS承载业务 标识、 对某一网元上的 MBMS 的收视量进行统计的网元标识或小区标识, MBMS业务在 3GPP的定义是按照区域进行覆盖的, 区域最小的单位是一个 小区, 因此在统计通知消息中可以通过参数指示激活某一或某些 SGSN、 GGSN、 RNC、 小区进行 MBMS 的收视量统计。 如只关心某个区域的某些 业务的收视量时, 在设置统计通知消息时, 将具体的区域转换为所对应的 SGSN、 GGSN、 RNC、 小区的标识, 通过这些标识在统计通知消息中逐层 发送给所对应的网元, 激活所对应的网元进行 MBMS 的收视量的统计过 程。
S603: 统计分析网元发送统计通知消息给 GGSN;
BM-SC根据统计通知消息参数中的网元标识、 小区标识或者 MBMS承 载业务标识确定需统计的范围, 并将所述统计通知消息下发给统计范围内的 GGSNo
S604: 统计分析网元启动定时任务, 统计 MBMS的收视量;
可以根据所述统计通知消息参数启动定时任务, 对所对应的 GGSN上 报的 MBMS 的收视量进行统计, 此歩骤为可选歩骤, 定时任务的目的是为 了定时触发对下级网元上报的收视量的累加和统计结果的上报, 定时触发是 较优的触发条件, 也可以选择其他如事件触发等条件。
S605: GGSN发送统计通知消息给 SGSN;
GGSN收到统计通知消息, 读取统计参数, 根据统计参数确定需统计的 范围, 并将所述统计通知消息发送给统计范围内的 SGSN, 所述统计通知消 息中承载了统计参数。
S606: GGSN启动定时任务, 统计 MBMS收视量;
读取统计通知消息中的统计参数, 可以根据所述统计参数中的定时上报 频率启动定时任务, 对所对应的 SGSN上报的 MBMS的收视量进行统计。 此歩骤为可选歩骤, 定时任务的目的是为了定时触发对 SGSN上报的收视量 的累加, 定时触发是较优的触发条件, 也可以选择其他如事件触发等本领域 普通技术人员使用的条件。
S607: SGSN发送统计通知消息给 RNC;
SGSN根据统计通知消息承载的统计参数确定需统计的范围, 并将该统 计通知消息发送给统计范围内的 RNC。
S608: SGSN启动定时任务, 统计 MBMS的收视量;
读取统计通知消息承载的统计参数, 可以根据所述统计参数中的统计上 报频率启动定时任务, 对所对应的 RNC上报的 MBMS的收视量进行统计。 此歩骤为可选歩骤, 定时任务的目的是为了定时触发对 RNC上报的收视量 的累加, 定时触发是较优的触发条件, 也可以选择其他如事件触发等本领域 普通技术人员使用的条件。
S609: RNC启动定时任务, 统计 MBMS的收视量;
RNC收到统计通知消息后, 根据统计通知消息中的统计参数, 如统计 上报频率启 动定时任务 , 在定时任务结束时 , RNC 对在 Counting/Recounting过程中收集的接收多媒体广播多播业务的用户设备数量 (一般是每个小区内接收每项 MBMS业务的 UE数量) 按照统计参数的具 体设定进行收视量的统计, 通过统计参数确定需统计的范围, 该统计范围可 以根据统计参数中的 MBMS承载业务标识和小区标识来确定, 从而选择对 应的 MBMS承载业务标识和小区标识的 UE数量, 将选择的 UE数量进行 累加得到 RNC上的 MBMS的收视量。 由于通常 Counting/Recounting过程 是以小区为单位获取某个具体小区内的使用每个 MBMS承载业务的 UE信 息, 一般一次 Counting/Recounting过程只统计一个小区, 所以如果所需统 计的范围是涉及多个小区, 此时需要将 Counting/Recounting过程中获取结 果数据进行缓存, 以便统计时可以获得统计范围内的小区的使用 MBMS承 载业务的 UE信息; 有时所需统计的收视量可能是具体的某个时间段内或某 个用户业务频道, 而 Counting/Recounting过程实时统计, 对历史数据并不 能全部保留, 所以此时也需要缓存 Countmg/Recountmg过程的结果数据, 但缓存的歩骤是可选的, 因为有些统计需求并不存在上述两种情况, 所述结 果数据可以包括 MBMS承载业务标识、 MBMS承载业务的 UE数量、 统计 时间、 UE标识、 RNC标识、 小区标识等, 这样就可以实现对历史收视量的 统计和记录, RNC就可以利用这些缓存的统计结果数据, 按照统计参数, 选择需统计的结果数据, 如选择相应的区域、 相应的统计时间、 相应的 MBMS承载业务的 UE数量, 将选择的 UE数量进行统计累加得到 RNC上 的统计范围内的 MBMS的收视量。
S610: RNC上报 RNC上的 MBMS的收视量给 SGSN;
在设置的统计任务结束时, 通过统计上报消息将 RNC上 MBMS的收视 量上报给相应的 SGSN。

在设置的统计任务结束时, GGSN将接收的一个或多个 SGSN上报的收 视量结果进行累加, 得到 GGSN上的收视量, 并将该 GGSN上的收视量上 报给统计分析网元, 同样此处的定时时间的触发条件为可选, 也可以采用事 件触发等本领域技术人员可以使用的条件。
S613: 统计分析网元获得最终的收视量统计结果并呈现;
在设置的定时任务结束时, 将各个 GGSN上报的收视量进行累加得到 最终的收视量统计结果, 并展现统计的 MBMS承载业务或者 MBMS用户收 视量给管理员, 同样此处的定时时间的触发条件为可选, 也可以采用事件触 发等本领域技术人员可以使用的条件。
图 6所示实施例中的统计分析网元可以是 BM-SC或数据业务平台, 如 果是 BM-SC, 则可以利用 BM-SC与 GGSN、 GGSN与 SGSN、 SGSN与 RNC之间已有的接口, 新增统计通知消息和统计上报消息。
如果对需要进行收视量统计的区域要求明确, 并且已知是在某个或某些 GGSN的覆盖范围之内, 此时可以直接在该某个或某些 GGSN进行所需的 统计参数的配置, 并把结果发给统计分析网元进行收视量统计的分析, 根据 分析结果进行相关操作, 所述统计分析网元是数据业务平台或 BM-SC。 此 时的具体歩骤如图 7所示:
S700: RNC与多个 UE之间进行 Counting/Recounting的交互, UTRAN 的 RNC通过 Counting/Recounting来控制 MBMS承载业务的 PtP、 PtM切 换, 并收集 MBMS承载业务的 UE数量;
S701 : 在 GGSN对统计参数进行配置;
通过配置文件或者网管设备等方法对启动收视量统计功能所需的统计参 数进行配置, 所述统计参数可以包括统计上报频率、 MBMS 承载业务标 识、 对某一个或一些网元上的 MBMS 的收视量进行统计的网元标识、 或者 对某一个或某一些小区上的 MBMS 的收视量进行统计的小区标识, MBMS 业务在 3GPP的定义是按照区域进行覆盖的, 区域最小的单位是一个小区, 因此可以通过所述统计参数指示激活某一或某些 SGSN、 RNC进行 MBMS 的收视量统计。
S702: GGSN发送统计通知消息给 SGSN;
所述统计通知消息承载歩骤 S701 中所设置的对启动收视量统计功能所 需的统计参数, SGSN收到统计通知消息, 读取统计通知消息参数, 将所述 统计通知消息发送给相应的 SGSN。
S703: GGSN启动定时任务, 统计 MBMS收视量;
GGSN可以根据歩骤 S701 中所设置的对启动收视量统计功能所需的统 计参数启动定时任务, 对所对应的 SGSN上报的 MBMS 的收视量进行统 计。 此歩骤为可选歩骤, 定时任务的目的是为了定时触发对 SGSN上报的收 视量的累加, 定时触发是较优的触发条件, 也可以选择其他的事件触发等本 领域普通技术人员使用的条件。
S704至 S710和图 6中的 S607至 S613相同, 此处不赘述。
在图 7所示的实施例下由于是直接在 GGSN进行统计参数的配置, 此 时不需要在统计分析网元进行统计通知消息的设置, 从而省略了统计通知消 息在统计分析网元和 GGSN之间的信令传递, 节省了网络资源。
如果对需要进行收视量统计的区域要求明确, 并且已知是在某个或某些 SGSN的覆盖范围之内, 此时可以直接在该某个或某些 SGSN进行所需的统 计参数的配置, 或者直接通过统计通知消息把统计参数发给相应的 SGSN, 并把结果发给 BM-SC或数据业务平台或单独的分析设备进行收视量统计的 分析, 根据分析结果进行相关操作, 此时可以省略了统计通知消息在统计分 析网元、 GGSN、 SGSN之间的统计通知消息的信令传递。 此时的具体歩骤 如图 8所示。
S800: RNC与多个 UE之间进行 Counting/Recounting的交互, UTRAN 的 RNC通过 Counting/Recounting来控制 MBMS承载业务的 PtP、 PtM切 换, 并收集 MBMS承载业务的 UE数量;
S801 : SGSN获取统计参数;
此处获取统计参数有两种方式: 一是通过配置文件或者网管设备等方法 对启动收视量统计功能所需的统计参数进行配置, 二是统计分析网元通过网 络接口直接将统计通知消息发送给 SGSN, 所述统计通知消息承载了统计参 数。 此处的统计分析网元可以是 BM-SC或数据业务平台。 所述统计参数可 以包括统计上报频率、 MBMS承载业务标识、 对某一个或一些网络侧网元 上的 MBMS 的收视量进行统计的网元标识、 或者对某一个或某一些小区上 的 MBMS的收视量进行统计的小区标识, MBMS业务在 3GPP的定义是按 照区域进行覆盖的, 区域最小的单位是一个小区, 因此可以通过所述统计参 数指示激活 SGSN连接的某一或某些 RNC进行 MBMS的收视量统计。
S802至 S805和 S607至 S610相同, 此处不赘述。 S806: SGSN上报统计的 MBMS的收视量至统计分析网元
该歩骤需要通过 SGSN和统计分析网元新增的接口实现。
S807: 统计分析网元获得最终的收视量统计结果并呈现;
在设置的定时任务结束时, 将各个 GGSN上报的收视量进行累加得到 最终的收视量统计结果, 并展现统计的 MBMS承载业务或者 MBMS用户收 视量给管理员, 同样此处的定时时间的触发条件为可选, 也可以采用事件触 发等本领域技术人员可以使用的条件。
如果对需要进行收视量统计的区域要求明确, 并且已知是在某个或某些 RNC的覆盖范围之内, 此时可以直接在该某个或某些 RNC进行所需的统计 参数的配置或者通过统计通知消息将统计参数直接发给相应的 RNC, 并把 结果发给统计分析网元进行收视量统计的分析, 根据分析结果进行相关操 作, 此时省略了统计通知消息在 BM-SC、 GGSN、 SGSN、 RNC之间的统计 通知消息的信令传递, 节省了网络的信令资源。 此时的具体歩骤如图 9所 S900: RNC与多个 UE之间进行 Counting/Recounting的交互, UTRAN 的 RNC通过 Counting/Recounting来控制 MBMS承载业务的 PtP、 PtM切 换, 并收集 MBMS承载业务的 UE数量;
S901 : 在 RNC对统计参数进行配置;
此处获取统计参数有两种方式: 一是通过配置文件或者网管设备等方法 对启动收视量统计功能所需的统计参数进行配置, 二是统计分析网元通过网 络接口直接将统计通知消息发送给 SGSN, 所述统计通知消息承载了统计参 数。 所述统计参数可以包括统计上报频率、 MBMS承载业务标识、 对某一 个或一些网络侧网元上的 MBMS 的收视量进行统计的网元标识、 或者对某 一个或某一些小区上的 MBMS的收视量进行统计的小区标识, 某些 MBMS 业务在 3GPP的定义是按照区域进行覆盖的, 区域最小的单位是一个小区, 因此可以通过所述统计参数指示激活某一或某些 RNC进行 MBMS的收视量 统计。
S902: RNC启动定时任务, 统计 MBMS的收视量;
RNC根据设置的统计参数, 如统计上报频率启动定时任务, 在定时任 务结束时, RNC对在 Counting/Recounting过程中收集的使用多媒体广播多 播业务的用户设备数量 (一般是每个小区内接收每项 MBMS业务的 UE数 量) 按照统计参数进行收视量的统计, 通过统计参数确定需统计的范围, 该 统计范围可以根据统计参数中的 MBMS承载业务标识和小区标识来确定, 从而选择对应的 MBMS承载业务标识和小区标识的 UE数量, 将选择的 UE 数量进行累加得到统计范围内的 MBMS 的收视量。 由于通常 Counting/Recounting过程是以小区为单位获取某个具体小区内的使用每个 MBMS承载业务的 UE信息, 一般一次 Counting/Recounting过程只统计一 个小区, 所以如果所需统计的范围是涉及多个小区或所有小区, 此时需要将 Countmg/Recountmg过程中获取的结果数据进行缓存, 以便统计时可以获得 统计范围内的小区的使用 MBMS承载业务的 UE信息; 有时所需统计的收 视量可能是具体的某个时间段内或某个用户业务频道, 而 Counting/Recounting过程实时统计, 对历史数据并不能全部保留, 所以此时 也需要缓存 Counting/Recounting过程的结果数据, 但缓存的歩骤是可选 的, 因为有些统计需求并不存在上述两种情况, 所述结果数据可以包括 MBMS承载业务标识、 MBMS承载业务的 UE数量、 统计时间、 UE标识、 RNC标识、 小区标识等, 这样就可以实现对历史收视量的统计和记录, RNC就可以利用这些缓存的统计结果数据, 按照统计参数, 选择需统计的 结果数据, 如选择相应的区域、 相应的统计时间、 相应的 MBMS承载业务 的 UE数量, 将选择的 UE数量进行统计累加得到 RNC上的 MBMS的收视 量, 该 RNC上的 MBMS的收视量是根据统计参数得到的统计范围内的收视 量。
当然, RNC 也可以不根据统计参数确定统计范围, 而是获取 Counting/Recounting过程中的每个小区内接收每项 MBMS业务的 UE数 据, 并进行累加, 此时获得的 RNC上的 MBMS业务的收视量是该 RNC覆 盖范围内的每项 MBMS业务的收视量, 而不限定具体的小区或 MBMS业 S903: RNC上报统计的 RNC上 MBMS的收视量给统计分析网元; 在设置的统计任务结束时, 将所述统计的 MBMS 的收视量上报给统计 分析网元, 如果所述统计分析网元是 BM-SC, 则此处的 RNC可以通过统计 上报消息将所述统计的 MBMS 的收视量通过 GGSN、 SGSN上报给 BM- SC, 也可以通过在 RNC与 BM-SC之间的新增网络接口实现 RNC上的 MBMS收视量的上报给 BM-SC; 如果统计分析网元是数据业务平台, 则此 处 RNC可以直接将所述统计的 MBMS的收视量上报给数据业务平台。
S902此处的 RNC上的 MBMS的收视量可以是统计范围内的 MBMS的 收视量, 也可以是 RNC覆盖范围内的每项 MBMS业务的收视量。
S904: 统计分析网元获得最终的收视量统计结果并呈现;
将各个 RNC上报的 RNC上的收视量结果进行累加得到最终的收视量 统计结果, 并展现统计的 MBMS承载业务或者 MBMS用户收视量给管理 员。 如果 RNC上报 RNC上的收视量是统计范围内的 MBMS的收视量, 此 时统计分析网元直接将各个 RNC上报的收视量累加即可得到最终的 MBMS 的收视量统计结果; 如果 RNC上报的是 RNC覆盖范围内的每项 MBMS业 务的收视量, 则可以由统计分析网元根据管理员的设置 (该设置中指定了需 要统计的网元标识和需要统计的 MBMS业务标识) 选择相应的 RNC上报的 MBMS收视量进行累加得到最后的 MBMS的收视量结果。
所述统计分析网元根据收视量统计结果进行分析, 根据分析结果可以调 整节目内容、 分发广告等。
本领域普通技术人员可以理解: 实现上述方法实施例的全部或部分歩骤 可以通过程序指令相关的硬件来完成, 前述的程序可以存储于一计算机可读 取存储介质中, 该程序在执行时, 执行包括上述方法实施例的歩骤; 而前述 的存储介质包括: ROM、 RAM, 磁碟或者光盘等各种可以存储程序代码的 介质。
综上所述, 通过 BM-SC/数据业务平台下发统计通知消息或者在核心网 侧的网元上进行统计参数的设置, 并发给相应的网元后, 所述网元统计所在 网元上的 MBMS的收视量, 提供了一种简单有效的统计 MBMS的收视量的 方法, 为现有的 MBMS组播模式提供了一种新的统计 MBMS的收视量的方 法, 也为 MBMS增强广播模式下提供了一种可行的统计 MBMS的收视量的 方法。
以上所揭露的仅为本发明实施例中的一种较佳实施例而已, 当然不能以 此来限定本发明之权利范围, 因此依本发明权利要求所作的等同变化, 仍属 本发明所涵盖的范围。
