Description

MBSFN区域内的载波资源处理方法、 装置和系统 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,具体涉及一种多播单频网络( Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network, MBSFN ) 区域内的载波资源处理方法、 装置和 系统。 背景技术
在长期演进(LTE )系统的版本(R ) 11中, 开始讨论一种新载波类型, 但是在 LTE Rll阶段,新载波的标准化工作没有完成, 目前, 已经进入 LTE 12阶段, 新载波的标准化工作被顺延到 LTE 12中, 并且有了一些初步 的结论并引入了一些新的功能。
目前正在考虑新载波中支持多媒体广播多播服务 ( Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service, MBMS )业务, 现有的载波(例如 Rll的载波) 中, 单播业务资源和物理多播信道( Physical Multicast Channel, PMCH )资 源是时分复用在 MBSFN子帧中的,并且单播业务资源用于发送物理下行控 制信道( Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH )和物理混合自动请求 重传指示信道( Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel, PHICH )。 但是由于 在新载波中不支持 PDCCH, 因此 MBSFN 子帧中不能发送 PDCCH 和 PHICH, 从而不能发送对于 UE的上行授权信息以及公共信息的调度信息, 也不能在 MBSFN子帧中发送 PHICH。 从而影响单播业务的正常传输。
但是新载波中支持增强的物理下行控制信道 ( Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel, ePDCCH ), ePDCCH是以物理资源块( Physical Resource Block, PRB )对为单位配置资源的, 而 PDCCH是以正交频分复 用 ( Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM ) 为单位进行酉己置 资源的。 但是 MBSFN子帧中是否支持 ePDCCH仍然没有被讨论。 当新载 波构成 MBSFN区域时, 由于 ePDCCH被使用在新载波中, 那么如何解决 新载波构成的 MBSFN区域内多个小区在新载波中的 PMCH和单播资源(包 括 ePDCCH资源 ) 的配置问题, 以及各自的配置结构, 目前尚不存在技术 支持。 发明内容

本发明实施例的 MBSFN区域内的载波资源处理技术提供了 MBSFN区 域中各个载波(或小区 ) 中 MBSFN子帧中的单播、 PMCH的资源分配方 案,从而避免在 MBSFN子帧中配置 ePDCCH时, 由于各个小区中 MBSFN 子帧中的 ePDCCH分配的 PRB对资源不一致以及 MBSFN子帧中 PMCH 分配的资源不相同时, 造成多小区 MBMS业务在载波中传输时不能获得空 口合并增益的问题。 附图说明

图 3为本发明另一种 MBSFN区域内的载波资源处理装置的实施例的结 构示意图;
图 4为本发明再一种 MBSFN区域内的载波资源处理装置的实施例的结 构示意图。 具体实施方式
在实际应用中, 可以考虑在 MBSFN子帧中支持 ePDCCH传输, 但这 有可能对 PMCH中的 MBMS业务传输产生影响,例如, ePDCCH在 MBSFN 子帧中的引入, 必然使得现有的单播资源与 PMCH在 MBSFN子帧内不能 再继续支持时分复用, 从而时频两维复用, 或者是频分复用, 使得单播和 PMCH的资源分配面临问题。 PMCH是多小区 MBMS业务传输的物理信道, 当一个多小区 MBMS业务被配置在一个 MBSFN区域时, 那么该 MBSFN 区域内所有小区(或载波)都需要在相同的时频资源上发送该 MBMS业务, 从而实现多小区 MBMS业务的联合发送, 从而获得较大的空口合并增益。 但是, ePDCCH 的资源是以 PRB 对为单位进行分配的, 并且各个小区的 ePDCCH分配是根据小区内的单播业务需求进行的, 而传输多小区 MBMS 业务 PMCH资源是需要 MBSFN区域内所有小区资源相同的, 由于多个小 区的交互是低效的, 时延很大, 所以邻区并不能及时获知彼此的 PMCH资 源分配信息, 从而很难做到 MBSFN区域内的 PMCH时频资源相同。 为了 支持 MBSFN子帧中 ePDCCH能够被传输, 且不对多小区 MBMS业务的 PMCH传输造成影响。 本发明实施例提供一种 MBSFN区域各个载波(或 小区) 中的 PMCH资源分配方法, 解决 MBSFN子帧中支持 ePDCCH传输 所造成的多小区 MBMS 的 PMCH 资源分配问题, 使得 MBSFN 区域内 MBSFN子帧中单播和 PMCH的资源分配得以实施, 且避免了各个小区之 间的 PMCH资源分配交互。

所述单播的资源信息可以用于描述 MBSFN子帧中或承载 PMCH的子 帧中为单播分配的或预留的时间和 /或频率资源, 具体可以包括下述的一个 或多个形式: 为单播分配的或预留的 PRB对资源; 为单播分配的或预留的 OFDM符号资源; 为单播分配的或预留的频率资源; 为单播分配的或预留 的子载波资源; 为单播分配的或预留的带宽资源。
所述单播的资源信息还可以包含不用于发送单播的保护带 (也称为预 留资源) 资源, 其中保护带可以位于单播和 PMCH之间在频率方向上。
所述保护带资源的大小可以为网络侧和接收端事先约定的, 且是以子 载波形式定义的保护间隔或 PRB形式定义的保护间隔。
所述保护间隔可以为在单播和 PMCH之间的 5或 6个空子载波。
所述保护带资源可以在 PMCH和单播的边界处, 当 PMCH和单播存在 多个边界时, 存在对应的多个保护带资源。
所述 PMCH的资源信息可以用于描述 MBSFN子帧中或承载 PMCH的 子帧中为 PMCH分配的时间和 /或频率资源,具体可以包括下述的一个或多 个形式: 为 PMCH分配的 PRB对资源; 为 PMCH分配的 OFDM符号资源; 为 PMCH分配的频率资源; 为 PMCH分配的子载波资源; 为 PMCH分配 的带宽资源。
所述 PMCH的资源信息可以通过下面的方式提供: 在 MBSFN子帧中 或在承载 PMCH的子帧中除了单播的资源外,剩余的资源都是为 PMCH分 配的资源, 其中, 如果 MBSFN子帧中或承载 PMCH的子帧中有保护带, 则单播的资源包括所述保护带。
所述 PMCH 的资源可以通过单播的资源描述来提供, 具体的: 在 MBSFN子帧中或在承载 PMCH的子帧中除了单播的资源外, 剩余的资源 为 PMCH。
所述单播的资源信息可以在子帧内以 PRB对为单位,相应的 PMCH也 以 PRB对为单位。
所述保护带可以以子载波为单位预留。
所述单播和 PMCH的资源信息, 用于描述 MBSFN子帧中用于单播和 PMCH的资源。
所述单播的资源信息用于描述发送单播数据、 控制信令以及单播对应 的参考信号的资源, 所述资源可以包括 ePDCCH、 PDSCH或 ePHICH, 其 中参考信号可以包括 RCRS、 CRS、 CSI-RS、 DM S。
所述单播资源中的单播业务釆用扩展 CP传输。

在一个 MBSFN区域内,由管理该 MBSFN区域的 MCE配置该 MBSFN 区域内各个承载 MBMS业务的载波中单播和 /或 PMCH的资源信息, 并将 该资源信息发送给 MBSFN区域内的基站。其中,单播的资源信息用于描述 发送单播数据、 控制信令以及单播对应的参考信号的资源, 其中所述资源 具体包括 ePDCCH、 PDSCH或 ePHICH, 其中参考信号包括 RCRS、 CRS、 CSI-RS、 DM S0 优选的, 单播资源中的单播业务釆用扩展 CP传输。 这里 的单播包括点到点单播业务和单播的系统广播信息, 也可以是描述 D2D业 务的 UE D2D通信资源分配。所述 PMCH的资源信息用于描述发送 MBMS 业务数据、 控制信令以及 MBMS业务对应的参考信号的资源, 其中具体包 括 MTCH或 MCCH, 其中参考信号包括用于 MBMS业务的参考信号。 优 选的, 所述单播资源上不允许 CSI-RS配置, 因为 CSI-RS是周期发送的, 周期内配置 CSI-RS的子帧中如果包括 MBSFN和非 MBSFN, 会对 CSI-RS 的频域位置有影响, 从而影响 PDSCH的调度效率。 实际上也可以在所述单 播资源中传输 CSI-RS, 只是基站在调度 PDSCH时, 需要避免 MBSFN子 帧中的单播资源的 CSI测量结果用于非 MBSFN子帧中单播业务的调度。
基站在接收到上层节点 MCE通过 M2接口发送是单播和 /或 PMCH资 源信息后, 基站通过所述资源信息对应的载波的系统广播信道将所述资源 信息发送给 UE, 或者通过所述资源信息对应的载波的配对载波的系统广播 信道或专用信道发送给 UE, 此时所述对应的载波可以是非独立运营新载 波, 所述系统广播信息优选为 SIB2, 这样可以使 UE接收到 SIB2时, 一次 性获知 MBSFN子帧分配信息, 节约 UE确定 PMCH的耗时。
所述的单播的资源信息用于描述 MBSFN子帧中或承载 PMCH的子帧 中为单播分配的或为单播预留的时间和 /或频率资源, 具体包括下述的一个 或多个形式: 1 ) 为单播分配的或预留的 PRB对资源。 这种情况下的 PRB 对是从子帧中第一个 OFDM符号开始为单播使用。 2 )为单播分配的或预留 的 OFDM符号资源。 这种情况下的 OFDM符号位于子帧中前 1个或 2个 OFDM,或者位于子帧中后 1个或 2个 OFDM符号。位于后 1个或 2个 OFDM 符号时, 可以避免与其他载波中的前 1个或 2个 OFDM符号中的信号彼此 干扰, 特别是在前 1个或 2个 OFDM符号中发送 PDCCH时使用了较大功 率的情况, 如果邻区的同样子帧中前 1 个或 2 个 OFDM 符号中发送 ePDCCH,那么彼此之间的干扰会很大,所以釆用子帧后 1个或 2个 OFDM 符号发送 ePDCCH。 3 )为单播分配的或预留的频率资源。 这种情况下, 为 单播配置频率资源, 单播业务仅仅在分配的频率资源内运营。 4 )为单播分 配或预留的子载波资源。 这种情况下, 适合为单播配置较少的资源, 例如 资源不大于 12个子载波。 5 ) 为单播分配的或预留的带宽资源。 这种情况 是在约定的单播和 PMCH在 MBSFN子帧中频分时, 为单播分配一定的带 宽。
考虑到如果单播和 PMCH(承载多小区 MBMS业务)进行频分复用时, 由于 PMCH信道是多小区联合发送的, 所以信号会进行叠加, 所以信号强 度非常大, 会对紧邻子载波上的单播业务形成干扰, 为了避免这种干扰, 分配单播的资源信息时, 在存在单播和 PMCH频分的情况时, 单播的资源 信息中分配的单播资源可以包含保护带资源(也称为预留资源)。 其中保护 带位于单播和 PMCH之间的频率方向上。 保护带的大小可以是网络侧和接 收端事先约定的。 可以是子载波形式定义的保护间隔或 PRB形式定义的保 护间隔。 当以子载波形式定义保护间隔时, 可以约定保护间隔为在单播和 PMCH之间的 5或 6个空子载波。 保护带资源位于单播和 PMCH边界处, 当 PMCH和单播存在多个边界时,那么每一个边界都需要有保护带。例如, PMCH位于带宽的中间, 单播资源位于两边, 此时就有 2个边界, 则需要 2 个保护带。 MBSFN区域内各小区之间构成 MBSFN区域的载波中的单播资 源可以是不同的。 例如, 同一 MBSFN 区域内的两个小区中, 小区 1 的 MBSFN子帧中的单播资源与小区 2的 MBSFN子帧中的单播资源不同。 这 种情况有利于邻区之间的 ePDCCH进行协作, 避免彼此由于资源相同而产 生的干扰。
所述 PMCH的资源信息用于描述 MBSFN子帧中或承载 PMCH的子帧 中为 PMCH分配的时间和 /或频率资源, 具体包括下述的一个或多个形式: 1 ) 为 PMCH分配的 PRB对资源。 这种情况下, MCE需要为同一 MBSFN 区域内各个小区分配相同的 PMCH资源。 2 )为 PMCH分配的 OFDM符号 资源; 3 )为 PMCH分配的频率资源; 4 )为 PMCH分配的子载波资源; 5 ) 为 PMCH分配的带宽资源。 可选的, 前述的保护带资源也可以包含在通过 PMCH的资源信息分配的 PMCH资源中, 此时单播资源中不再包含保护带 资源。 保护带的具体实施与在单播资源中相同。
还可以通过下面的方式提供 PMCH的资源信息: 在 MBSFN子帧中或 在承载 PMCH的子帧中除了单播的资源外,剩余的资源都是为 PMCH分配 的资源, 其中, 如果 MBSFN子帧中或承载 PMCH的子帧中有保护带, 则 单播资源包括所述保护带。 所述保护带以子载波为单位预留。 或者, 没有 保护带时, 当 PMCH资源通过单播资源描述来提供时, 在 MBSFN子帧中 或在承载 PMCH的子帧中除了单播资源外, 剩余的资源为 PMCH。
当单播资源在子帧内以 PRB对为单位时,相应的 PMCH资源也以 PRB 对为单位。
当网络侧以单播和 PMCH 资源信息描述时, 是指网络侧分别描述 MBSFN子帧中用于单播资源和 PMCH的资源。 PMCH资源信息用于描述 发送 MBMS 业务数据和 MBMS 控制相关的信令的资源, 其中具体包括 MTCH或 MCCH。
进一步, PMCH 资源信息也可以用于描述发送特殊业务数据和控制信 令的资源,其中所述特殊业务数据为除 MBMS业务和 LTE l 1以及之前的 传输模式支持的单播业务之外的业务, 例如 MTC业务, LTE R12新引入的 传输模式, D2D业务数据和相关控制信令。 这样可以使得这些特殊业务对 于 MBSFN子帧中的单播资源中的业务发送和接收不产生影响。 这里需要 PMCH资源信息中有描述该资源实际用途的信息, 例如实际是为 PMCH或 是为单播业务或 MTC业务或 D2D业务等。 更进一步, PMCH资源信息也可以用于描述 PMCH资源是为 MBMS 业务分配的, 但是仅用于传输单播业务。 这种情况和上述的特殊业务用途 是类似的。 例如, 为了避免旧版本 UE在 MBSFN单播资源中或非 MBSFN 子帧中接收单播业务的影响, 对于一些高版本 UE可以在 PMCH资源信息 指示的资源中发送单播业务。 这里的影响主要是指: 如果不釆取上述方式, 旧版本 UE就会在没有属于自身的数据的资源中盲检,以判断是否有属于自 身的数据。 这里需要 PMCH资源信息中有描述该资源实际用途的信息, 例 如实际是为 PMCH或是为单播业务或 MTC业务或 D2D业务等。
基站作为接收端, 接收 MCE发送的 MBSFN区域的单播和 /或 PMCH 的资源信息, 并解析形成单播的资源信息和 /或 PMCH资源信息的信令, 在 所述信令对应的载波 1 中的系统广播信息或专用信道发送所述信令, 或者 在所述信令对应的载波 1的配对载波 2中的系统广播信息或专用信道发送 所述信令。 其中系统广播信息优选 SIB2, 这样可以使得 UE在获得 MBSFN 子帧配置信息的同时获得单播或 PMCH资源信息的信令, 简化 UE接收流 程。
基站解析 MCE发送的单播和 /或 PMCH的资源信息, 主要是为了降低 UE的成本, 基站解析所述资源信息, 主要是将 MCE发送的所述资源信息 形成 UE能够识别的信令, 这样 UE就可以不支持 MCE的协议栈, 从而降 低 UE成本。
基站发送的 PMCH资源是为 MBMS业务分配的,但是存在一种可能性, 就是实际是为了传输单播业务。 一种情况下 PMCH资源不是 MCE配置的, 而是基站自行配置的, 然后利用 PMCH资源的信令发送给 UE, 这种情况 下, 可以使得旧版本的 UE认为 PMCH资源是为 MBMS业务分配的, 从而 不再在 PMCH资源中接收单播业务。 而针对新版本的 UE, 基站通过信令 通知新版本的 UE,新版本 UE能够在基站发送的 PMCH资源中接收单播业 务。基站在 PMCH资源信令中包含用于指示 PMCH资源是实际发送单播业 务还是实际发送 MBMS业务的信令。
也存在一种情况, 用来传输单播业务的 PMCH资源是由 MCE分配的, 这样可以使得 MBSFN区域内传输单播业务的 PMCH资源统一分配, 从而 避免邻区由于传输单播业务的 PMCH资源不同, 而引起干扰。 此时基站通 过接收 MCE发送的 PMCH资源信息来确定该 PMCH资源是实际发送单播 业务还是实际发送 MBMS业务, 此时, PMCH资源信息中包含该 PMCH 资源的实际传输业务信息。 然后基站根据 PMCH资源信息为 UE传输对应 的业务。
基站能够接收邻小区发送的单播和 /或 PMCH的资源信息,并将接收的 资源信息发送给 UE。 这样使得 UE能够清楚邻小区的单播和 /或 PMCH的 资源信息, 便于 UE测量和切换。
基站接收的所述单播的资源信息和 PMCH的资源信息, 可以参考前述 描述。 其中单播的资源分配中包含保护带资源, 其中保护带位于单播和 PMCH之间的频率方向上。 保护带资源的大小为网络侧和接收端事先约定 的, 且以子载波形式或 PRB对形式定义的。 例如约定 5个或 6个子载波作 为保护带, 其中以子载波作为保护带时, 子载波小于 6个。 当 PMCH和单 播存在多个边界时, 每一个边界需要一个保护带。 其中当 PMCH为单播业 务传输时, 则不需要配置保护带。
所述 PMCH资源信息具体形式参考前述描述。
所述 PMCH的资源信息还可以通过下面方式提供: 在 MBSFN子帧中 或在承载 PMCH的子帧中除了单播的资源外,剩余的资源都是为 PMCH分 配的资源, 其中 MBSFN子帧中或承载 PMCH的子帧中有保护带, 则单播 的资源包括所述保护带。 或者, 在 MBSFN子帧中或在承载 PMCH的子帧 中除了单播的资源外, 剩余的资源为 PMCH, 不配置保护带。 当单播的资 源在子帧内以 PRB对为单位时, 相应的 PMCH也以 PRB对为单位。
所述单播和 PMCH的资源信息是指 MCE分别描述 MBSFN子帧中用于 单播和 PMCH的资源。 所述单播的资源信息用于描述发送单播数据和控制 的资源,其中所述资源具体包括 ePDCCH、 PDSCH或 ePHICH。所述 PMCH 的资源信息用于描述发送 MBMS 业务数据和控制的资源, 其中具体包括 MTCH或 MCCH。所述 PMCH的资源信息也可以用于描述发送特殊业务数 据和控制的资源,其中所述特殊业务数据为除 MBMS业务和 LTE 11以及 之前的传输模式支持的单播业务之外的业务,具体可以包括 MTC业务、 D2D 业务。
也存在一种情况, 完全由基站配置并发送单播和 /或 PMCH资源信令。 此时单播和 /或 PMCH资源信令是由基站自主生成的, 不再有 MCE参与信 令生成。 这种情况的优点是基站不需要和 MCE 交互, 基站之间可以通过 X2 口交互彼此的单播和 /或 PMCH 资源分配情况。 其中具体的单播和 /或 PMCH资源信令的用法与前述的相同。
作为接收基站信令的接收端 (例如 UE ), 接收端接收从载波 1 中系统 广播信息或专用信道中发送的单播和 /或 PMCH的资源信息, 并根据所述资 源信息获知载波 1中 MBSFN子帧中的单播和 /或 PMCH的资源分配情况, 或者接收端根据所述资源信息获知与所述载波 1 配对的载波 2 中 MBSFN 子帧中的单播和 /或 PMCH 的资源分配情况。 其中, 单播资源用于传输 PDSCH、 ePDCCH或 ePHICH, PMCH资源用于 MBMS业务数据和控制信 息。 系统广播信息优选为 SIB2。
其中, PMCH资源也存在为单播业务或其他非 MBMS业务使用的情况, 此时 PMCH资源信令中包含 PMCH资源实际使用的业务类型信息。 这时, PMCH资源是为 MBMS业务分配的, 但是实际是传输单播业务的资源。
根据 PMCH资源信息, 当接收端确定所述 PMCH资源中发送的是单播 业务, 则接收端从所述 PMCH资源中接收单播业务。 接收端能够通过接收 PMCH 资源信息来确定该 PMCH 资源是实际发送单播业务或实际发送 MBMS业务的。接收端还接收邻小区的单播和 /或 PMCH的资源信息, 以便 于进行邻区测量或切换。
所述 PMCH资源信息以及单播的资源信息具体描述方式和使用方式可 以参考前述描述。
下面列举一些具体实施例以详细描述本发明。

实施例 2
在 MBSFN区域内, 假设该区域内包含 M ( M为对于 1的正整数 )个 小区 (每一个小区对应一个载波), 为多小区 MBMS业务发送。
管理该 MBSFN 区域的 MCE 为该区域中 M 个小区配置单播和 /或 PMCH的资源信息, 并将该资源信息通过 M2接口发送给 M个小区对应的 基站,由基站解析后形成新的单播的资源信息和 /或 PMCH资源信息的信令, 并将信令通过系统广播信息 SIB2发送。 进一步, 本实施例中给定 MBSFN 子帧中的资源由 2部分构成, 分别是单播资源、 PMCH资源。 其中单播资 源用于发送 ePDCCH、 PDSCH或 PHICH或者同等功能的单播信道; PMCH 资源是用来传输多小区 MBMS业务的。 这种情况下, 前述的单播和 PMCH 的资源信息具体如下:
方式一: MCE为该区域中的 M个小区配置单播的资源信息(其中单播 资源不包含保护带资源), 并发送单播的资源信息给 M个小区对应的基站, 基站则需要按照约定解析收到的单播的资源信息, 然后转发解析出的单播 的资源信息给 UE。 所述解析主要包括: 基站将 MCE发送的单播的资源信 息按照 UE能够识别的形式组成信令, 然后发送给 UE, 这样可以使得 UE 中不需要配置支持 MCE协议栈,从简化 UE成本。如果基站直接转发 MCE 生成的单播的资源信息给 UE, UE则需要配置 MCE的协议栈, 从而读懂 MCE生成的信令。 当基站接收到 MCE发送的单播的资源信息后, 基站则 可以获知小区中 MBSFN子帧中 PMCH资源即为除去单播资源剩余的资源, 并且时基站获知小区中 MBSFN子帧中单播业务的资源,并将这些单播资源 用于 ePDCCH、 PDSCH或 PHICH (此时的 PHICH是表示用于发送下行 ACK/NACK信息, 或者之后称为 ePHICH )。 并且, 基站获知单播资源中有 部分的保护带存在, 并且通过事先约定的方式获知保护带具体位置和大小。 当 UE 接收到基站发送的单播的资源信息后, 基站则可以获知小区中 MBSFN子帧中 PMCH资源即为除去单播资源剩余的资源,并且 UE获知小 区中 MBSFN 子帧中单播业务的资源, 并可以从这些单播资源中接收 ePDCCH、 PDSCH 或 PHICH (此时的 PHICH 是表示用于发送下行 ACK/NACK信息, 或者之后称为 ePHICH )。 并且, UE获知单播资源中没 有保护带存在。

方式三: MCE为 MBSFN区域中的 M个小区分别配置单播的资源信息 和 PMCH资源信息(其中单播资源不包含保护带资源),并发送单播的资源 信息和 PMCH资源信息给 M个小区对应的基站,基站则需要按照约定解析 收到的资源信息, 然后转发解析出的单播的资源信息和 PMCH资源信息给 UE。 其中的解析收到的资源信息, 主要包括, 基站将 MCE发送的单播资 源和 PMCH资源信息按照 UE能够识别的形式组成信令, 然后发送给 UE, 这样可以使得 UE中不需要配置支持 MCE协议栈, 从简化 UE成本。 如果 基站直接转发 MCE生成的单播的资源信息和 PMCH资源信息给 UE, UE 则需要配置 MCE 的协议栈, 从而读懂 MCE 生成的信令。 当基站接收到 MCE发送的单播的资源信息和 PMCH资源信息后,基站则可以获知小区中 MBSFN子帧中单播资源位置、 PMCH资源位置,还获知单播资源和 PMCH 资源之间没有保护带, 即单播资源中不包含保护带, 单播资源可以全部用 于传输单播业务或控制信道。 并且, 对于 MBSFN子帧中除了单播资源和 PMCH 资源之外的资源, 基站和接收端可以约定由其他接收端 (例如, 全 新版本的 UE ) 以非后向兼容传输模式使用, 或者由其他业务(例如 MTC 业务)使用, 而不影响旧版本 UE。 当 UE接收到基站发送的单播的资源信 息和 PMCH资源信息后, UE则可以获知小区中 MBSFN子帧中单播资源位 置、 PMCH资源位置, UE还获知单播资源和 PMCH资源之间没有保护带, 即单播资源中不包含保护带, 单播资源可以全部用于传输单播业务或控制 信道。 并且,对于 MBSFN子帧中除了单播资源和 PMCH资源之外的资源, 基站和接收端可以约定由其他接收端(例如, 全新版本的 UE )以非后向兼 容传输模式使用, 或者由其他业务(例如 MTC业务)使用, 而不影响旧版 本 UE。
对于单播的资源信息和 /或 PMCH资源信息的具体描述,可以釆用带宽 的描述方式,描述在 MBSFN子帧内哪些 PRB对由 PMCH使用, 哪些 PRB 对由单播使用。 保护带釆用子载波描述, 例如保护带为单播资源中紧邻 PMCH资源的 N个子载波, N可以事先约定。
基站将形成的单播的资源信息和 /或 PMCH资源信息的信令通过对应的 载波的 SIB2或 UE专用信令发送, 或者通过对应的载波的配对载波的系统 广播消息或 UE专用信令发送。

上述接收模块 301和处理模块 302可以由电子设备中的 CPU、 DSP或 FPGA实现。
本发明提供的一种 MBSFN区域内的载波资源处理装置的实施例,如图 4所示, 该装置为 UE, 该装置接收模块 401和获取模块 402;
所述接收模块 401,配置为接收从载波 1中系统广播信息或专用信道中 发送的单播和 /或 PMCH的资源信息;
所述获取模块 402,配置为才艮据收到的资源信息获知载波 1或与所述载 波 1配对的载波 2中 MBSFN子帧中的单播和 /或 PMCH资源。
