Description

一种 MBMS业务控制方法及系统 技术领域
本发明涉及多媒体广播组播 ( Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service, MBMS )领域, 尤其涉及一种 MBMS业务控制方法及系统。 背景技术
随着互联网的迅猛发展和大屏幕多功能手机的普及, 出现了大量移动 数据多媒体业务和各种高带宽多媒体业务, 例如视频会议、 电视广播、 视 频点播、 视频广告、 网上教育、 互动游戏等。 这些移动数据多媒体业务和 各种高带宽多媒体业务不仅满足了移动用户不断上升的业务需求, 同时也 为移动运营商带来了新的业务增长点。 这些移动数据多媒体业务和各种高 带宽多媒体业务要求多个用户能够同时接收相同数据, 与一般的数据业务 相比, 具有数据量大、 持续时间长、 时延敏感等特点。
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 ), MBMS业务是一种从一个数据源向多个目标传 送数据的技术, 实现了网络(包括核心网和接入网) 资源的共享, 提高了 网络资源 (尤其是空中接口资源) 的利用率。 3GPP定义的 MBMS业务不 仅能够实现纯文本低速率的消息类的组播和广播, 还能够实现高速多媒体 业务的广播和组播, 提供多种丰富的视频、 音频和多媒体业务, 这无疑顺 应了未来移动数据发展的趋势, 为第三代(3rd Generation, 3G )数字通信 的发展提供了更好的业务前景。
目前, 在 LTE版本 9 ( R9 ) 系统中引入了 MBMS业务, 并在 LTE版 本 10 ( R10 ) 中进行了优化。 MBMS业务在系统中承载需要控制信令(也 称为 MBMS控制信令)和用户数据(也称为 MBMS业务) 的共同传输来 实现。其中,控制信令将会告知接收端(如终端、用户设备(User Equipment, UE ) )相应的控制参数, 指引 UE到相应的位置去接收其感兴趣的 MBMS 业务(即相应的用户数据)。
控制信令在 LTE R9、 R10系统中是通过多播控制信道( Multicast Control
Channel, MCCH )、 广播控制信道( Broadcast Control Channel, BCCH )和 MCH调度信息(MCH Scheduling Information, MSI )来进行传输的; MBMS 业务是通过多播业务信道(Multicast Traffic Channel, MTCH ) 来进行传输 的。
MBMS控制信令和 MBMS业务是以 MBSFN区域( MBSFN Area )来 进行传输的, MBSFN Area是由一系列小区所组成, 一般包括一个或多个由 演进基站节点( eNB )控制下的小区。 图 1为现有一 MBSFN area的逻辑结 构示意图, 如图 1所示, 该 MBSFN区域(如圆圈内) 包括 19个小区, 其 中 eNBl控制小区 1、 小区 2 小区 6; eNB2控制小区 7、 小区 8 小区 13; eNB3控制小区 14、 小区 15 小区 19。
考虑到现有技术中, 在 MBSFN Area (如图 1中圆圈内的 19个小区构 成的一个 MBSFN区域) 中发送控制信令和用户数据将以小区或 eNB为单 位使用 MBSFN技术进行同步发送(目的是使得 UE在接收时可以获得相应 的合并增益), MBSFN技术需要 MBSFN area内各个小区在相同的时频资 源上发送相同的数据内容, 这样就需要对各个小区的资源进行统一的调度 和规划。 目前使用多小区 /多播协调实体( Multi-cell/multicast Coordination Entity, MCE ) 网元来进行无线资源的统一调度和规划, 具体可参考国际标 准 3GPP 36.300 v910。
图 2为现有 MBMS控制系统结构示意图,如图 2所示,在现有系统中, 与 MBMS相关的网元有 eNB、 MCE、 MBMS网关( MBMS GW ), 广播组 播业务中心 (Broadcast Multicast Service Centre, BM-SC ) 以及移动性管理 单元(Mobility Management Entity, MME ), 其中, BM-SC作为业务发起 ( Session Start )、 业务停止 ( Session Stop )、 业务更新 ( Session Updated ) 或 MBMS业务数据提供的网元; MBMS GW将 MBMS业务数据通过 Ml 接口发送给相应的 eNB; MBMS GW通过 Sm接口将由 BM-SC生成的控制 面信息 (例如 Session Start message、 Session Stop message, Session Updated message )发送给 MME; MME完全作为一个转发网元, 将 MBMS GW发 送的控制面信息通过 M3接口转发给 MCE; MCE将相应的控制面信息发送 给相应的 eNB; 通过这样的处理, eNB将会获得 MBMS业务数据和相应的 控制面信息。
其中, 为了方便对于网元的配置管理, 对于网元引入了操作管理维护 ( Operation, Administration and Maintenance, OAM )单元,例如 eNB和 eNB 的 OAM、 MCE和 MCE的 OAM等; 通过 OAM单元, 网络管理人员 (例 如运营商网管人员)可以方便的对相应的网元进行状态查看、 判决、 设置 参数等一系列的配置管理操作, 实现了人机交互与操作维护功能。
下面以网络如何发送一 MBMS 业务为例, 对 MBMS 会话开始过程 ( MBMS Session Start procedure )进行描述, 图 3为现有技术发送一 MBMS 业务的流程示意图, 如图 3所示, MBMS业务发送(或称之为承载)是由 BM-SC发起的; BM-SC向 MME发送 MBMS 会话开始请求消息( MBMS Session Start Request message ), 其中包含所发送 MBMS业务的控制参数; MME将转发此请求消息到 MCE; MCE将根据此时是否可以在空口上发送 该 MBMS业务做出判断(判断的依据为空口资源是否充足), 并根据判断 结果向 MME 回复 MBMS Session Start 响应消息 (MBMS Session Start Response message ),该消息中携带 MME的判决结果; 若判决结果为不能 载该 MBMS业务, 则该流程结束; 若判决结果为可以承载该 MBMS业务, 则 MCE将向其所涉及的 eNB发送 MBMS Session Start请求消息, eNB根 据请求消息准备开始在空口( eNB到 UE接口)上承载 MBMS业务,且 eNB 回复 MCE网元 MBMS Session Start响应消息; 最后, eNB在空口上发送 MBMS Session Start请求消息(以 MBMS notification和更新的 MCCH形式 体现); 而后, eNB开始在空口上发送 MBMS业务数据; 这样一个 MBMS 业务承载就完成了; 更加细节的内容可以参考 3GPP 36.300协议。
通过上述的内容, 我们可以看出, MBMS业务将会在整个 MBSFN区 域中进行发送。 为了进一步优化 MBMS业务发送, 业界拟引入 UE上行反 馈机制, 具体而言, 上行反馈机制主要应用于网络侧获取每个 MBMS业务 的感兴趣 /正在接收的用户数(或 UE个数); 网络侧通过获取用户数来优化 MBMS 业务的发送, 例如: 去激活 (deactivation, 或称之为不发送)感兴 趣 /正在接收用户数少的 MBMS业务、 激活(activation, 或称之为发送)感 兴趣 /正在接收用户数多的 MBMS业务。 网络侧为了获知感兴趣 /正在接收 某个 MBMS业务的 UE数量(或有 /无 ), 可以通过发送 counting命令 (计 数命令), 使得感兴趣 /正在接收该 MBMS业务的 UE进行上行反馈, 告知 该 UE目前接收 MBMS的状态。 网络侧可以将通过上行反馈获取到的信息 (即对于某个 MBMS有多少感兴趣 /正在接收的 UE个数), 应用该 MBMS 业务的激活 ( activation )或去激活(deactivation )操作; 换言之, 网络侧可 以根据上行反馈获取到的信息来决定该 MBMS业务在空口上是( activation ) 否 ( deactivation )进行发送。
但是, UE在空口上( UE至 eNB )将其感兴趣 /正在接收的 MBMS业 务报告给 eNB后,网络侧如何根据接收到的报告信息对 MBMS业务进行激 活 /去激活控制, 在现有技术中并没有给出可实现的方法。 发明内容

图 5为本发明一实施例网络侧根据 UE的上行反馈信息进行处理,并根 据所述处理结果对 MBMS业务进行激活 /去激活判决的流程示意图, 如图 5 所示, 该流程包括: 步驟 501 : 网络侧的 eNB根据收集到的上行反馈信息进行统计。
这里, eNB根据收集到的上行反馈信息进行统计可以为: 将 MBMS业 务所对应的感兴趣 /正在接收的 UE个数进行统计(最简单的统计方法为计 数)。
需要说明的是, eNB进行统计的 MBMS业务可以为一个或多个。
步驟 502: eNB将所述统计结果发送至网络侧的 MCE。
一般的, eNB的统计结果可以通过 MCE反映到 MCE的操作、 管理、 维护 ( Operation Administration and Maintenance, OAM )上。
步驟 503: MCE或 MCE的 OAM根据所述来自 eNB的统计结果判断 是否需要激活 /去激活相应的 MBMS业务。
由 MCE的 OAM进行判断的情况下, MCE还需要进一步将统计结果 反映到所述 MCE的 OAM上。
这里, MCE根据来自 eNB的统计结果做出 MBMS业务在整个 MBSFN area内激活 ( activation )或者去激活 ( deactivation )的判决。 具体的, 针^ f 一具体 MBMS业务, MCE可以将来自于各个 eNB的所述 MBMS业务的统 计结果相加, 如果相加值不小于相应的门限值, 则 MCE判定需要激活相应 的 MBMS业务, 生成判断结果值为 "真" 或 "1" , 表示该 MBMS业务应 该发送( activation ); 若相加值小于相应的门限值, 则 MCE判断需要去激 活相应的 MBMS 业务, 生成判断结果值为 "假" 或 "0" , 表示该 MBMS 业务不应该发送( deactivation )。
一般的, 由 MCE的 OAM进行判断时, MCE的 OAM将判断结果返回 MCE。 该判断过程由人工参与或 OAM软件实现。
图 6为本发明另一实施例网络侧根据 UE的上行反馈信息进行处理,并 根据所述处理结果对 MBMS业务进行激活 /去激活判决的流程示意图,如图 6所示, 该流程包括: 步驟 601 : eNB根据收集到的上行反馈信息进行统计。
这里, eNB 根据收集到的上行反馈信息进行统计可以为: eNB 按照 MBMS业务进行处理,将 MBMS业务所对应的感兴趣 /正在接收的 UE个数 进行统计。
需要说明的是, eNB进行统计的 MBMS业务可以为一个或多个。
步驟 602: eNB或 eNB的 OAM根据所述统计结果对是否需要激活 /去 激活 MBMS 业务进行初步判断, 并由所述 eNB 将初步判断结果发送给
MCE。
eNB的 OAM进行初步判断的情况下, eNB需要进一步将所述统计结 果反映到所述 eNB的 OAM上。 所述 eNB的 OAM根据所述统计结果对是 否需要激活 /去激活 MBMS业务进行初步判断为: 由 OAM软件或人工根据 所述统计结果对是否需要激活 /去激活 MBMS业务进行初步判断。
这里, eNB可以将每个 MBMS业务的对应的统计数据 (即该 MBMS 业务所对应的感兴趣 /正在接收的 UE个数) 与对应的门限值进行对比, 若 统计数据不小于门限值, 则初步判定需要激活相应的 MBMS业务, eNB生 成初步判断结果值为 "真"或 "1" ,表示该 MBMS业务应该发送( activation ); 若统计数据小于门限值, 则初步判定需要去激活相应的 MBMS业务, eNB 生成初步判断结果值为 "假" 或 "0" , 表示该 MBMS 业务不应该发送 ( deactivation )。
步驟 603: MCE或 MCE的 OAM根据来自 eNB的初步判断结果判断 最终是否需要激活 /去激活相应的 MBMS业务。
MCE的 OAM进行最终判决的情况下, MCE还需要进一步将 eNB的 初步判断结果反映到所述 MCE的 OAM上。
这里, MCE根据 MBSFN area内各个 eNB的判决结果, 做出在整个 MBSFN area内激活( activation )或者去激活 ( deactivation ) MBMS业务的 判决。 具体的, 针对一具体 MBMS业务, MCE根据来自于各个 eNB的关 于所述 MBMS业务的初步判断结果, 判定初步判断结果为 "需要激活" 的 eNB的数量 /所占的百分比不小于初步判断结果为 "需要去激活" 的 eNB的 数量 /所占的百分比, 则判定需要激活所述 MBMS业务; 否则, 判定需要去 激活所述 MBMS业务。
一般的, 由 MCE的 OAM进行判断时, MCE的 OAM最后将判断结果 发送给 MCE , 该判断过程由人工参与或 OAM软件实现。
图 7为本发明再一实施例网络侧根据 UE的上行反馈信息进行处理,并 根据所述处理结果对 MBMS业务进行激活 /去激活判决的流程示意图,如图 7所示, 该流程包括:
步驟 701: eNB将来自 UE的上行反馈信息转发给 MCE。
步驟 702: MCE根据收集到的上行反馈信息进行统计。
这里, MCE根据收集到的上行反馈信息进行统计的方法与步驟 601 eNB根据收集到的上行反馈信息进行统计的方法类似,在此不作详细介绍。
步驟 703: MCE或 MCE的 OAM根据所述统计结果判断是否需要激活 /去激活相应的 MBMS业务。
MCE的 OAM进行判决的情况下, MCE还需要进一步将步驟 702的统 计结果反映到所述 MCE的 OAM上。
该步驟与步驟 602 eNB或 eNB的 OAM根据统计结果对是否需要激活 / 去激活 MBMS业务进行初步判断的方法类似, 在此不作详细描述。
可以看出, 采用图 5、 图 6所示的流程, eNB向 MCE发送一次即可, 而采用图 7所示的流程, eNB可能需要向 MCE发送多次。

eNB A, eNB B、 eNB C根据收集到的 UE的反馈信息进行处理; 也就 是说, eNB A、 eNB B、 eNB C按照反馈的 UE个数进行统计,即对于 MBMS 业务 1 , eNB A统计感兴趣 /正在接收的 UE个数为 1、 eNB B为 2、 eNB C 为 3, 称此为为各个 eNB 的统计结果; 三个 eNB将统计后的结果发送给 MCE。
MCE接收到来自 eNB的统计结果, 做出 MBMS业务在整个 MBSFN area内激活 ( activation )或者去激活 ( deactivation )的判决; 具体的, MCE 将从三个 eNB获取到的统计结果进行综合, 本实施例以相加求和为例; 即 MCE获知对于 MBMS业务 1共有六个 UE感兴趣 /正在接收, 若该取值大 于门限值, 则 MCE做出激活 MBMS业务 1的判决, 反之, 则做出去激活 该业务的判决; 另外一种方式, MCE将从各个 eNB获取统计结果反应到 MCE的 OAM上, 由 MCE的 OAM对 MBMS业务根据统计结果进行判断 (该判断过程由人工参与或 OAM 软件实现, 属于实现过程), 从而生成 MBMS业务的判决结果(激活或去激活)。 实施例 2
本实施例中, MBSFN area由三个 eNB组成( eNB A、 eNB B、 eNB C ); eNB A中有两个可上行反馈的 UE ( UE1、 UE2 ), eNB B中有三个可上行反 馈的 UE ( UE3、 UE4、 UE5 ), eNB C中有四个可上行反馈的 UE ( UE6、 UE7、 UE8、 UE9 ); 网络侧让 MBSFN area中所有可上行反馈的 UE对于 MBMS业务 1进行反馈, 即若可上行反馈的 UE对于 MBMS业务 1感兴趣 /正在接收, 则进行反馈,本实施例中, eNB A中 UE1反馈, eNB B中 UE3、 UE4反馈, eNB C中 UE6、 UE7、 UE8反馈。
eNB A, eNB B、 eNB C根据收集到的 UE的反馈信息进行处理; 也就 是说, eNB A、 eNB B、 eNB C按照反馈的 UE个数进行统计,即对于 MBMS 业务 1 , eNB A统计感兴趣 /正在接收的 UE个数为 1、 eNB B为 2、 eNB C 为 3, 称此为各个 eNB的统计结果; 然后, 各个 eNB对于 MBMS业务进 行判断; 判断是指下面方法的一种: 方法 1 各个 eNB将统计结果与 MBMS 业务所对应的门限值进行对比判决, 若大于门限值, 则 eNB生成 "真" 或
"1" , 表示该 MBMS业务应该发送 ( activation ); 反之, eNB生成 ' 叚" 或 "0" , 表示该 MBMS业务不应该发送(deactivation ); 本实施例以 eNBl 判决生成 ' 叚", eNB2判决生成 "真", eNB3判决生成 "真" 为例; 而后, 各个 eNB将判决的结果发送给 MCE;方法 2 由 eNB的 OAM对 MBMS业 务进行判断, 生成 MBMS业务的判决结果, 发送给 MCE。
MCE接收到来自 eNB的判决结果, 做出 MBMS业务在整个 MBSFN area内激活 ( activation )或者去激活 ( deactivation )的判决; 具体的, MCE 将从 3个 eNB获取到的判决结果进行综合, 本实施例以百分比统计为例; 即 MCE获知对于 MBMS业务 1共有 66% ( 2除以 3 )的 eNB判决为 "真", 判决为 "真"的 eNB为简单多数(即大于 50% ),则 MCE做出激活该 MBMS 业务的判决;另外一种方式, MCE将从各个 eNB获取判决结果反应到 MCE 的 OAM上, 由 MCE的 OAM对 MBMS业务根据 eNB判决结果进行判断 (该判断过程由人工参与或 OAM 软件实现, 属于实现过程), 从而生成 MBMS业务的判决结果(激活或去激活)。 实施例 3

eNB将从 UE处接收到的上行反馈信息, 不做处理, 直接发送给 MCE, MCE接收通过 eNB转发来自 UE的上行反馈信息。
MCE收集 MBSFN区域内 eNB (本实施例为 eNB A、 eNB B、 eNB C ) 转发的 UE (本实施例为 UEl 、 UE3、 UE4、 UE6、 UE7、 UE8 )的上行反 馈信息, 并使用下面方法的一种进行统计判决: 方法 1 MCE将上行反馈信 息进行统计, 本实施例以相加求和为例, 求和的结果为 MBMS业务 1对应 感兴趣 /正在接收该 MBMS业务的 UE个数,本实施例求和的结果为 6; MCE 将统计结果(本实施例统计结果为 6 ) 与 MBMS业务所对应的门限值进行 对比判决;若大于门限值,判决为 activation (表示该 MBMS业务应该发送, 反之, 判决为 deactivation; 方法 2 MCE将上行反馈信息进行统计(统计的 方法如方法 1;), 将统计结果反应到 MCE的 OAM上, 由 MCE的 OAM对 MBMS业务根据统计结果进行判断(该判断过程由人工参与或 OAM软件 实现, 属于实现过程), 从而生成 MBMS 业务的判决激活或去激活的判决 结果。 实施例 4
本实施例以 MBMS业务 2为例, MBMS业务 2状态为正在发送( ongoing MBMS业务), 且 MCE已经做出对于 MBMS业务 2的判决结果(即激活 或去激活的判决)。
若 MCE的判决结果为去激活 ,则 MCE将该判决 MME发送给 BM-SC, BM-SC收到去激活判决结果后,触发 MBMS业务 2的去激活过程,即 MBMS Session Sto 过程,图 8为本发明实施例 4的 MBMS业务控制方法流程示意 图, 如图 8所示, 若 MCE的判决结果为激活, 此时有两种处理方式: a将 激活判决通过 MME发送给 BM-SC, BM-SC收到判决后将不进行动作, 保 持原有 MBMS业务 2发送; b不将判决结果发送给 BM-SC, 仍保持原有 MBMS业务 2发送。 实施例 5
本实施例以 MBMS业务 2为例, MBMS业务 2状态为从未开始过的 MBMS业务(即该 MBMS业务从未发送过, 或该 MBMS业务从未 Session Start过),且 MCE已经^ 出对于 MBMS业务 2的判决结果(即激活或去激 活的判决)。
图 9为本发明实施例 5的 MBMS业务控制方法流程示意图, 如图 9所 示, MCE将判决结果保留; 当 BM-SC发起 MBMS Session Start过程时, MCE根据判决结果, 选择承载(激活)或不承载(去激活)该 MBMS业 务; 也就是说, MCE的判决为激活的话, 则 MCE将会继续进行 BM-SC发 送的 MBMS Session Start流程; 反之, MCE将会拒绝 BM-SC。 实施例 6
本实施例以 MBMS业务 2为例, MBMS业务 2状态为正在发送( ongoing MBMS业务), 且 MCE已经做出对于 MBMS业务 2的判决结果(即激活 或去激活的判决)。
图 10为本发明实施例 6的 MBMS业务控制方法流程示意图, 如图 10 所示,若 MCE的判决结果为去激活,则 MCE直接给 eNB发送停止该 MBMS 业务的发送指示;对于 eNB来说, 接收到 MCE停止该 MBMS业务的发送 指示后, 将不再在空口上发送给 MBMS业务数据; 若 MCE的判决结果是 激活 (即继续该 MBMS业务发送), 则 MCE可以给 eNB发送继续发送该 MBMS业务的指示信息或不发送任何信息; 对于 eNB来说都将继续在空口 上发送该 MBMS业务数据。
更进一步的 ,本实施例 MCE不通知 BM-SC;从 BM-SC或 MBMB-GW 来看, eNB仍然在接收 MBMS数据, 并且在空口上进行发送。
以上所述, 仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已, 并非用于限定本发明的保 护范围。
