Description

Transmission method and device for multicast service

Technical field

The present application relates to, but is not limited to, a communication technology, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for transmitting a multicast service.

Background technique

In the 3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution (3GPP), a single cell point-to-multipoint (SC-PTM) transmission technology is introduced, SC The PTM technology is used to implement a point-to-multipoint downlink multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service in a single cell. The SC-PTM introduces two logical channels, namely, a Single Cell-Multicast Control Channel (SC-MCCH) and a Single Cell-Multicast Traffic Channel (SC-MTCH). In LTE, both the SC-MCCH and the SC-MTCH are carried by a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH).

The SC-MCCH carries control information related to the transmission of the MBMS service, including service identification and scheduling information. In LTE, the PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) carrying the SC-MCCH is dynamically scheduled. The scheduling information of the SC-MCCH is indicated in the system message block 20 (SIB20), including a modification period, a repetition period, an offset, a first subframe, and a length length of the interval that may be scheduled. . These parameters define the interval of the duration in which the SC-MCCH may be scheduled, that is, the eNB (evolved Node B, base station) schedules the SC-MCCH in one of the subframes in the duration interval in which the SC-MCCH may be scheduled.

The modification period of the SC-MCCH indicates a boundary where the SC-MCCH message may be modified, the SC-MCCH repetition period is a period for scheduling the transmission of the SC-MCCH message, and the offset refers to the repetition of the duration starting radio frame with respect to the SC-MCCH. The number of offset radio frames of the periodic start radio frame, and the first subframe is duration from the first radio subframe in the start radio frame. The length of the duration is the number of wireless subframes that duration continues. eNB uses SC-RNTI (Single Cell-Radio) The Network Temporary Identifier (Single Cell Radio Network Temporary Identity) scrambles DCI (Downlink Control Information) in the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

In LTE, one SC-MTCH carries one MBMS service data. The scheduling information of the SC-MTCH includes: a scheduling period (period) and a starting offset, a duration time interval of the scheduled duration interval, OnDurationTimer, and a length of time that the user equipment (UE, User Equipment) waits after successfully receiving a downlink data. (drxInactivityTimerSCPTM).

As shown in FIG. 1, the eNB can schedule an SC-MTCH carrying an MBMS service in any one of the radio subframes in the resource specified by the SC-MTCH scheduling information. After the UE successfully receives a downlink data of the service, The timer that starts or restarts the drxInactivityTimerSCPTM length continues to wait for the above drxInactivityTimerSCPTM time length until the time expires or receives a new downlink data of the service. The eNB scrambles the DCI of the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) signaling of the SC-MTCH by using the allocated Radio Network Temporary Identity (G-RNTI), and each MBMS service is assigned a dedicated G- RNTI.

In the narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT, Narrow Band Internet of Thing) and LTE Enhanced Machine Type Communication (eMTC), in order to enhance the coverage of the covered UE, the same PDCCH signaling and PDSCH channel data need to be repeated. Send multiple times, as shown in Figure 2. In the PDCCH signaling for scheduling the PDSCH, in addition to indicating the time domain frequency domain resource used by the PDSCH channel and the modulation and coding scheme (MCS), the number of repeated transmissions (Repetition number) of the PDSCH is indicated, and The scheduling start time of the PDSCH is scheduled, that is, the scheduling delay, where the scheduling timing refers to the first radio subframe after the last PDCCH subframe starts to schedule the corresponding PDSCH. The main purpose of NB-IoT and eMTC to introduce SC-PTM is to provide an efficient point-to-multipoint transmission technology, which is mainly used by a large number of UEs to update their software or firmware, so as to avoid a large number of UEs acquiring through dedicated channels. Business data. This kind of service needs to receive business data 100% correctly and reliably, otherwise the part of the received business data has no practical meaning. The current mode of service transmission does not guarantee complete and accurate data reception.

Detailed

The embodiments of the present application are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting a multicast service according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the embodiment of the present application describes a method for transmitting a multicast service, including the following steps:

S301. The access network element schedules, on the radio interface, the transmission of the MBMS service data packet carried by the SC-MTCH, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

When scheduling the transmission of the MBMS service data packet, the access network element may indicate to the receiver that the scheduling information of the MBMS service data packet is scheduled.

In this embodiment, the repeated scheduling information may include at least one of the following information:

The sequence number of the current scheduling, whether the current scheduling is the first scheduling of the MBMS service data packet, the remaining scheduling times of the MBMS service data packet, and the number of the MBMS service data packet.

In this embodiment, the repeated scheduling information may be indicated by scheduling physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signaling of the MBMS service data packet.

The transmission method of the multicast service in this embodiment may further include:

The MBMS service data packet is numbered, and the number of the MBMS service data packet is cyclically allocated and used within the range of the number value.

The access network element notifies the receiving party of the number N of scheduling of the MBMS service data packet by using a system message or an SC-MCCH message.

In this embodiment, the primary scheduling includes repeated transmission of the M1 secondary PDCCH and the repeated transmission of the M2 secondary PDSCH for the MBMS service data packet; both M1 and M2 are less than or equal to N.

In this embodiment, the transmitting, by the radio interface, the transmission of the MBMS service data packet N times, The method may include: for an MBMS service data packet, the access network element continuously scheduling N times of MBMS service data packets.

The access network element schedules M times of MBMS service data packets or up to M times of MBMS service data packets in a scheduling period of the SC-MTCH of each MBMS service data packet.

The network element of the access network, when scheduling the MBMS service data packet, instructs to schedule the repetitive scheduling information of the MBMS service data packet; the repetitive scheduling information may include at least one of the following information: the number of the sequence number of the scheduling, and whether the scheduling is MBMS. The first scheduled information of the service data packet, the remaining scheduling times information of the MBMS service data packet, and the number of the MBMS service data packet.

As shown in FIG. 3, the method for transmitting a multicast service in this embodiment further includes:

S302. The UE receives the SC-MTCH data packet sent by the access network element according to the repeated scheduling information of each MBMS service data packet.

When the UE successfully receives an MBMS service data packet, it does not receive the subsequent repeated scheduling of the MBMS service data packet. When the UE fails to receive the MBMS service data packet, it receives the subsequent repeated scheduling of the MBMS service data packet until the MBMS service data packet is successfully received. Or the scheduling of new MBMS service data packets is detected.

The present embodiment will be described below by way of an example.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of multiple scheduling of data packets according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, the access network element schedules the transmission of the MBMS service data packet carried by the SC-MTCH on the radio interface.

Illustratively, when the network element of the access network schedules the data packet of the service, in the scheduling period of the SC-MTCH of the service, the data packet of the service is scheduled M times, or the data packet of the service is scheduled at most M times. . The M indicates the UE by signaling or through a protocol.

When the network element of the access network schedules the data packet, it indicates that the scheduling information of the data packet is scheduled to be scheduled, and the repeated scheduling information may include at least one of the following: the number of the sequence number of the current scheduling, that is, the number of the data packet. Secondary scheduling; whether the scheduling is the first scheduled information of the data; the remaining scheduling times information of the data; the number information of the data packet.

The repetition scheduling information may be performed by scheduling a PDCCH carrying a PDSCH of an SC-MTCH The signaling indication is indicated by the DCI scrambled by the G-RNTI.

When each packet is numbered, the number is cyclically allocated within its range of values.

As an implementation manner, the eNB indicates, by using a system message or an SC-MCCH message, the number N of scheduling of each service data packet by the UE.

As an implementation manner, for one data packet, the access network element continuously schedules N times of data packets, that is, each data packet is sequentially scheduled N times in sequence.

The one-time scheduling described in this embodiment includes multiple repeated transmissions of at least one of the PDSCH and the PDCCH, for example, the M1 secondary PDCCH repeated transmission and the M2 secondary PDSCH repeated transmission, which constitute a primary scheduling described in this embodiment, that is, FIG. 2 Shown as one dynamic scheduling and transmission.

In this embodiment, the UE may receive the SC-MTCH data packet sent by the eNB according to the repeated scheduling information of each data packet.

If the UE successfully receives a data packet, subsequent scheduling of the data packet can be ignored. Otherwise, the UE receives the repeated scheduling of the data packet until the data packet is successfully received, or until the scheduling of the new data packet is detected.

The UE determines that the method of successfully receiving a data packet may include one of the following:

If the number of the data packet is included in the repeated scheduling information, if the UE successfully receives the number n of the service data packet, it is considered that the data packet with the data packet number n is successfully received;

The repeated scheduling information includes the sequence number information of the scheduling, and the UE is instructed to repeat the scheduling number N of each data packet, or the repeated scheduling information includes information about the remaining scheduling times, and the UE only needs to successfully receive one data. If any one of the N times of scheduling is scheduled, the packet is considered to be successfully received, that is, in consecutive 1 to N scheduling sequence numbers, or N to 1 remaining scheduling times, the UE only needs to successfully receive one of the schedulings. .

The following is an example to illustrate the implementation of this embodiment:

The access network element continuously schedules the service data N times, and then schedules the next SC-MTCH packet.

When scheduling the SC-MTCH data packet, the access network element indicates the number of the currently scheduled data packet in the PDCCH signaling DCI scrambled by the service G-RNTI, and the number is cyclically allocated within the range of the value, for example, Numbered from 0 to 7, the packet number is assigned from 0 to 7, and the loopback is then assigned from 0 to 7. The UE identifies the scheduling of different data packets according to the number of the data packet.

As an implementation manner, the access network element indicates, by using an SC-MCCH message or a system information block, the number N of repetitions of each SC-MTCH service when scheduling the SC-MTCH service.

Each time the access network element schedules the SC-MTCH data packet, the network element includes continuously transmitting M1 secondary PDCCH signaling and M2 secondary PDSCH channel data. This constitutes a complete scheduling and transmission of the data.

The UE determines whether the data packet has been successfully received according to the scheduled data packet number indicated in the received PDCCH signaling DCI. For example, the UE indicates that the data packet is n in the received DCI, and the UE has successfully received the data packet numbered n after successfully receiving the data packet numbered n-1, and the UE may ignore the PDSCH indicated by the DCI. After scheduling, the UE receives the DCI indicating that the data packet number is n+1, and the UE receives the PDSCH number n+1 according to the indication of the DCI.

In this embodiment, the service data packet is repeatedly scheduled on the radio interface to improve the reliability of sending and receiving service data carried by the SC-MTCH, and provides the UE with multiple receiving opportunities to avoid data reception due to short-term interference. The failure, and by repeating the scheduling information, enables a UE that successfully receives a certain data packet to skip (not receive) subsequent repeated scheduling of the data packet, thereby saving power consumption of the UE.

The embodiment of the present application further describes a method for transmitting a multicast service, which is applicable to the UE side, and includes the following steps:

The receiver receives the repeated scheduling information of the MBMS service data packet, and receives the MBMS service data packet sent by the sender according to the repeated scheduling information;

After the receiving party successfully receives the MBMS service data packet, the receiver does not listen to the scheduling of the MBMS service data packet; when the MBMS service data packet is not received, continues to receive the foregoing according to the repeated scheduling information. The MBMS service data packet until the MBMS service data packet is successfully received or the scheduling of the new MBMS service data packet is detected.

In this embodiment, the receiving party successfully receives the MBMS service data packet, which may include:

The number of the MBMS service data packet received by the receiver is the same as the number of the MBMS service data packet included in the repeated scheduling information; or

The receiver successfully receives the MBMS service data packet in a scheduling period of the MBMS service data packet.

Receiving, by the receiving party, control information that is sent by the sender and indicating a receiving service status of the feedback service;

The receiving party feeds back, according to the control information of the feedback service receiving state, the information that the receiver receives the success or failure of the MBMS service data packet.

In this embodiment, the control information may include: identifier information of a service that needs to be fed back to the receiving state, or the control information includes: identifier information of a service that needs to be fed back to the receiving state, and at least one of the following information: Uplink resource information and feedback probability factor used.

When the MB network service data packet is scheduled for the first time, the access network element indicates that the MBMS service data packet is the first transmission by scheduling the PDCCH signaling or other signaling of the MBMS service data packet, or indicates the The number of the MBMS service data packet, or the number indicating the MBMS service data packet and the first transmission.

When the MB network service data packet is rescheduled, the access network element indicates that the MBMS service data packet is retransmitted by scheduling PDCCH signaling or other signaling of the MBMS service data packet, or indicates the The number of the MBMS service data packet, or the number indicating the MBMS service data packet and for retransmission.

The present embodiment will be described in detail below.

In this embodiment, the access network element specifies or passes the feedback channel resource for at least one of the ACK and the NACK for the downlink scheduling transmission of the SC-MTCH packet.

The UE sends an ACK or NACK feedback on the feedback channel resource according to the receiving state of the downlink scheduling transmission of the SC-MTCH.

The network side retransmits the downlink transmission data packet according to the received NACK.

The ACK is an Acknowledgement, that is, the feedback of successfully receiving the scheduled data packet, and the NACK is a feedback that the scheduled data packet is not successfully received.

The feedback ACK and NACK refer to feedback for a scheduled transmission, that is, scheduled transmission of a data packet, signaling designation or protocol agreement for its feedback channel resource.

The uplink feedback resource is a shared uplink feedback resource of the UE that receives the SC-MTCH, that is, multiple UEs that receive the SC-MTCH use the feedback channel resource, and are used to feed back an ACK that receives a scheduled transmission or NACK.

As an implementation manner, when the network element of the access network schedules the data packet, the number of each data packet may be indicated by PDCCH signaling DCI, or other signaling.

As an implementation manner, the access network element may indicate whether the scheduled data packet is the first transmission or the retransmission through the PDCCH signaling DCI.

The relative time relative to the first PDSCH subframe in which the SC-MTCH packet is transmitted, or the time domain resource at the N subframe interval.

The access network element retransmits the downlink transmission data packet according to the received feedback, and may refer to one or more of the following manners:

method one:

The access network element resends the data packet when the Nth scheduling is performed after scheduling the data packet, and at this time, the access network element performs the first transmission and retransmission of the data packet in the PDCCH signal. Let DCI or other signaling indicate at least one of the following: the number of the data packet; whether the scheduling is the first transmission or the retransmission.

N is a protocol agreement or indicates the UE by signaling.

As shown in FIG. 6, the access network first transmits the first transmission of the data packet A, and specifies the NACK resource that is fed back to receive the data packet A. If the access network receives the NACK first transmitted to the data packet A, the access network resends the data packet A in the Nth scheduling after the first transmission scheduling. When retransmitting the data packet A, the access network indicates that the scheduling is retransmission in the PDCCH signaling DCI. At this time, the UE knows that the transmission is the retransmission of the data packet A. If the UE has successfully received the first transmission of data packet A, the UE may ignore this scheduling. Otherwise, the UE receives the retransmission schedule of the data packet A.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting a multicast service according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 10, the method for transmitting a multicast service provided by this embodiment includes:

S1001: The access network element sends a feedback control message.

S1002: The core network element receives the feedback control message sent by the access network element;

The feedback control message is used to indicate information of one or more MBMS service data packets in one or more synchronization sequences that are not received by the network element of the core network element.

The feedback control message may carry the identification information of the synchronization sequence; the identification information of the synchronization sequence may include timestamp information of the synchronization sequence, and identification information of the lost MBMS service data packet in the synchronization sequence.

The access network element may send the feedback control message by using a control plane message of the access network to the core network element or a newly added synchronization protocol control packet.

The identifier information of the MBMS service data packet may be at least one of the following:

a list and a number of MBMS service data packet identifiers that are not received by the network element of the access network, where the identifier is a sequence number of the MBMS service data packet in a synchronization sequence;

The initial MBMS service data packet identifier, and the number of MBMS service data packets that are not continuously received starting from the starting MBMS service data packet.

The core network element retransmits the MBMS service data packet that is not received by the access network element based on the received feedback control message.

When the core network element retransmits the MBMS service data packet that is not received by the access network element, the timestamp information and the packet quantity information of the MBMS service data packet to be sent are respectively set to be sent to the first time. The timestamp and number of packets of the transmitted MBMS service data packet.

When the core network element retransmits the MBMS service data packet that is not received by the access network element, the destination address of the IP (Internet Protocol) of the MBMS service data packet to be sent may be set as the The IP address of the incoming network element, or set to the same IP address as the first MBMS service data packet.

When the core network element retransmits the MBMS service data packet that is not received by the access network element, the current MBMS service data packet may be marked as a retransmitted MBMS service data packet by using one of the following methods:

Added synchronization protocol packet format;

A data packet indicating that the currently transmitted MBMS service data packet is retransmitted is defined in the format of the synchronization protocol data packet.

The present embodiment will be described in detail below.

In this embodiment, the access network element sends a feedback control message, which is used to indicate a core network element, where the access network element does not receive one or more MBMS service data packets in one or more synchronization sequences. information. At this time, the feedback control message carries the identification information of the synchronization sequence, that is, the timestamp information of the synchronization sequence, and the identification information of the lost MBMS service data packet in the synchronization sequence.

The feedback control message may be implemented in the form of a control plane message of the access network to the core network element or a SYNC PDU without payload.

The identifier information of the MBMS service data packet may be one or more of the following:

1. A list and a number of MBMS service data packet identifiers that are not received by the access network, where the identifier is a sequence number of the MBMS service data packet in its synchronization sequence, that is, a data packet in the SYNC PDU 1 or 2 Packet number information. If all the MBMS service data packets in the synchronization sequence are lost, only the number information of the MBMS service data packets that are not received, or the identification information of the synchronization sequence is not required to indicate any other synchronization. Sequence of MBMS service packet related information.

2. The initial MBMS service data packet identifier, and the number of MBMS service data packets that are not continuously received as a starting point. For example, the MBMS service data packet number A1 and the number of MBMS service data packets N indicate consecutive N MBMS service data packets starting with A1.

The core network element receives the feedback control message, and retransmits the MBMS service data packet that is not received by the access network.

When the core network element retransmits the MBMS service data packet that is not received by the access network element, the timestamp information and the packet number information of the MBMS service data packet are respectively set to the timestamp when the data packet is first sent. And packet number information. That is, the core network element resends the MBMS service data packet as if the data packet was sent for the first time.

Exemplarily, the core network retransmits the MBMS service that the access network element does not receive. In the case of a data packet, the IP address of the access network element is set to the IP address of the network element of the access network, or is set to the same IP address as the first time the MBMS service data packet is sent.

For example, when the core network element retransmits the MBMS service data packet that is not received by the access network element, the core network element further marks the retransmitted MBMS service data packet as a retransmitted MBMS service data packet, and the method includes One of the following:

1. Define a new synchronization protocol packet format, that is, newly define a type of SYNC PDU dedicated to the core network element to retransmit the MBMS service data packet;

2. In the format of the synchronization protocol data packet, information defining one bit is used to indicate that the data packet is a retransmitted data packet. Illustratively, in SYNC PDU types 1 and 2, one of its spare bits is set to the "resend" indication described above.

The access network element receives the retransmitted MBMS service data packet, and can avoid ignoring the retransmitted MBMS service data packet according to the retransmitted indication or the SYNC PDU type dedicated to resending the MBMS service data packet. A new synchronization sequence.

The core network element (BMSC (Broadcast Multicast Service Center), or MGW (Media Gateway)) transmits the MBMS service to the access network element in the manner of a synchronization sequence. data pack. The synchronization sequence refers to a group of MBMS service data packets marked with the same timestamp information, and different timestamp information identifies different synchronization sequences. In a synchronization sequence, the MBMS service data packet is marked with a packet number, which indicates the number of data packets that have been transmitted in this synchronization sequence. The above MBMS service data packet is a Type 1 or Type 2 SYNC PDU (SYNC PDU type 1 or SYNC PDU type 2) in a SYNC protocol.

In addition, in the SYNC protocol, SYNC PDU type 0 and SYNC PDU type 3 are also defined, and the two SYNC PDUs are sent to the access network element after each synchronization sequence, and the timestamp information carried by it is sent before it. The synchronization sequence is the same, and the carried packet number is the number of MBMS service data packets in the synchronization sequence sent before, and the total number of packet information carried therein indicates that the total number of packets is sent in a synchronization period. The number of MBMS service packets.

When the access network element receives the data of an MBMS service sent by the core network element, the access network element can pass The timestamp information in the SYNC protocol identifies different synchronization sequences, and detects whether there is a packet loss and the MBMS service lost in the synchronization sequence by detecting the continuity of the packet identifier carried in the MBMS service data packet in the same synchronization sequence. The number of packets and their identifiers, and by detecting the total number of packets in SYNC PDU types 0 and 3, it is possible to detect whether there is a missing packet at the end of the synchronization sequence before the transmission of the SYNC PDU type 0 and type 3, ie Whether the last one or more MBMS service packets in the synchronization sequence are lost, and whether the entire synchronization sequence has been lost.

With the method of the embodiment, the access network element can feed back the MBMS service data packet that is not received by the feedback method provided in this embodiment, and the core network element can resend the MBMS service that is not received by the access network element. The data packet avoids the situation that the data of the access network element is incomplete when the MBMS service is sent due to the loss of data packets during transmission from the core network element to the access network element. Since the MBMS is a broadcast multicast service for multiple UEs, the loss of the ground-side data packet may cause all UEs that receive the MBMS service under the access network element to fail to receive the service completely, and the integrity of the received software update is downloaded. This type of business is crucial.

The failure rate threshold of the received data packet indicated by the access network element refers to the failure rate of the received MAC PDU when the UE receives the MBMS service data, or the failure rate of the received RLC PDU, or The failure rate of receiving PDCP PDUs.

When the access network element does not indicate the coverage level CEL-1, the UE may know the coverage level information CEL-1 from the repetition factor, and the mapping relationship between the repetition factor and the coverage level indicated by the protocol agreement or signaling. That is, the coverage level information CEL-1 may be explicitly indicated to the UE by signaling, or may be implicitly indicated to the UE by indicating a repetition factor.

The UE that is receiving the MBMS service, if its receiving success rate reaches or exceeds the receiving success rate threshold indicated by the access network, the UE feeds back through a feedback mechanism. The UE receiving success rate meets or exceeds the receiving success rate threshold, which means that the actual receiving success rate of the UE is less than or equal to the receiving success rate threshold indicated by the access network element.

The UE that is receiving the MBMS service determines whether the reception failure rate reaches or exceeds the reception failure rate threshold indicated by the access network, and performs feedback through a feedback mechanism. The UE receiving failure rate meets or exceeds the receiving failure rate threshold, which means that the actual receiving failure rate of the UE is greater than or equal to the receiving failure rate indicated by the access network element.

The feedback of the UE by using a feedback mechanism may include:

The UE performs the feedback by using the RRC message. The feedback content includes but is not limited to one or more of the following: the returned MBMS service identifier information, the CEL-2, the actual receiving success rate of the UE, and the UE. Actual reception failure rate;

Alternatively, the UE feeds back, by the access network, at least one of a Preamble code of a random access channel (PRACH) specified by the MBMS service and a specified feedback time domain resource, where the UE transmits the specified by using the designated PRACH. Preamble code for feedback.

The access network updates the scheduling parameter of the MBMS service according to the feedback of the UE, and indicates the updated scheduling parameter in the signaling sent to the UE, and schedules and sends the data of the MBMS service according to the updated scheduling parameter.

The access network may, in the wireless interface, update the scheduling parameter of the MBMS service, and schedule the data of the MBMS service according to the updated scheduling parameter, to include the following:

When the access network indicates the scheduling parameter by using an SC-MCCH message, the access network updates the scheduling parameter of the MBMS service in an SC-MCCH modification period, and updates the SC-MCCH modification period of the MBMS scheduling parameter. Or the next SC-MCCH modification period begins, and the MBMS service data is scheduled to be sent according to the updated scheduling parameter;

When the access network indicates the scheduling parameter by using the system information SIB, the access network updates the scheduling parameter of the MBMS service in a system message modification period, and updates the MBMS tone. The system message modification period of the degree parameter or its next system message update period begins, and the MBMS service data is scheduled to be sent according to the updated scheduling parameter;

When the access network indicates the scheduling parameter by scheduling the PDCCH signaling DCI of the MBMS service data, the access network may indicate the updated scheduling parameter when scheduling any of the MBMS service data, and use the updated scheduling. The parameter schedules the MBMS service data.

In this case, when the UE finds that its own coverage level is greater than the coverage level or repetition factor used by the access network element to send the MBMS service, the UE's reception success rate cannot be satisfied. In this case, The UE feeds back its coverage level, and provides an opportunity for the access network element to update the used repetition factor, so that the UE can be better satisfied. This method is particularly effective in scenarios where the coverage level of the UE may be dynamically changed.

The MTP configured for the transport channel includes a combination of one or more of the following:

Length information of the MTP;

Offset information of the starting position of the MTP;

The number of times the specific service data packet is repeatedly transmitted in the MTP.

The offset of the starting position of the MTP can be calculated by the following formula:

The H-SFN is the system superframe number, the SFN is the system frame number, the mod is the modulo operation, L is the length of the MTP, and the offset is the offset of the MTP start position.

The transmission method of the multicast service provided in this embodiment may further include:

The scheduling one of the specific service data packets in an MTP may include:

The multiple scheduling of the particular service data packet is in one MTP; or the specific service data packet is scheduled in multiple consecutive or non-contiguous MTPs.

When multiple scheduling of a service data packet is in the same MTP, and an MTP only schedules the same service data packet one or more times, the UE determines, according to the boundary of the MTP, the service data packet scheduled in different MTPs. Different business data packages.

When the access network element indicates the number of times a particular service data packet is scheduled in an MTP, the UE does not receive the specific service data packet in an MTP for more than the indicated number of times.

When the transmission channel adopts dynamic scheduling, the UE receives the PDCCH in the MTP, Detecting a PDCCH signaling DCI that schedules the transport channel; and receiving a PDSCH of the bearer service data indicated by the DCI according to the received PDCCH signaling DCI that schedules the transport channel.

When the transmission channel is configured with a scheduling period, the UE receives a PDCCH at a specified location in a scheduling period of a transmission channel in the MTP to detect scheduling the transmission channel PDCCH signaling DCI.

The present embodiment will be described below by way of examples.

In this embodiment, the access network element configures a multiple transmission period (MTP) for the transmission channel, and schedules one or more specific data blocks in the MTP. The receiving UE receives the configuration information of the multiple transmission period and receives the specific data block.

The MTP configured by the access network element for the transport channel may include at least: length information of the MTP. Exemplarily, the MTP may further include offset information of a starting position of the MTP, and information of the number of times of scheduling a specific data block in the MTP.

When the access network schedules the specific data block in the MTP, only one specific data block is scheduled multiple times in the one MTP. That is, different data blocks of the same transport channel are not scheduled in the same MTP.

A particular data block is scheduled in only one MTP, ie multiple scheduling of the particular data block is scheduled in one MTP. Alternatively, a specific data block is scheduled in a plurality of consecutive or non-contiguous MTPs. At this time, the access network element indicates the information of the plurality of consecutive or non-contiguous MTPs of the receiving UE, including at least one of the following: The number information of the plurality of consecutive or non-contiguous MTPs, the location information of the plurality of consecutive or non-contiguous MTPs, and the interval size information of the plurality of discontinuous MTPs.

Illustratively, the number of times N scheduled in each MTP may indicate the receiving UE by signaling, Or through agreement.

The access network element scheduling a specific data block means that the access network element schedules the specific data block by means of dynamic scheduling, where the dynamic scheduling signaling includes at least PDCCH signaling DCI, and the PDCCH signaling DCI Indicates scheduling information of a PDSCH channel carrying the specific data block.

The scheduling of the specific data block by the access network element in the MTP means that the access network element sends a PDCCH signaling DCI for scheduling the specific data block in the MTP.

Exemplarily, in one scheduling of the specific data block, the access network element repeatedly transmits the PDCCH signaling DCI one or more times on the radio interface. That is, the primary scheduling includes one or more repeated transmissions of PDCCH signaling, the PDCCH signaling DCI indicating scheduling information of the PDSCH, and the primary scheduling transmission of the PDSCH includes one or more repeated transmissions.

The receiving end UE receiving the specific data block means that the receiving end UE receives one or more scheduling of the specific data block in one or more MTPs that schedule the specific data block.

The receiving end UE combines the received signals of the multiple scheduling of the specific data.

When multiple schedulings of the specific data block are scheduled in the same MTP, and an MTP only schedules the same specific data block, the UE determines, according to the boundary of the MTP, a specific data block scheduled in different MTPs. Different specific data blocks.

When the access network element further indicates the number of times the specific data block is scheduled in an MTP, the number of times the receiving end UE receives the specific data block in an MTP does not exceed the number of times, that is, the UE successfully receives When scheduling the specific data of the number of times, the UE no longer attempts to receive the data block of the transport channel in the MTP.

Illustratively, when the transport channel adopts dynamic scheduling, the receiving UE receives a PDCCH in the MTP to detect a PDCCH signaling DCI for scheduling the transport channel, and according to the received scheduling, the transport channel. PDCCH signaling DCI receives its indicated bearer service data PDSCH.

Exemplarily, when the transmission channel is configured with a scheduling period, the UE receives a PDCCH at a specified location in a scheduling period of a transmission channel in the MTP to detect scheduling the transmission channel PDCCH signaling DCI.

The data block is a transport block (TB), or a payload data unit (PDU) of a Radio Link Control (RLC), or a media access control protocol (MAC, Media). Access Control Data Unit (PDU).

The transport channel may include at least: SC-MTCH, DTCH (Dedicated Traffic Channel), DCCH (Dedicated Control Channel), CTCH (Common Traffic Channel), MTCH (Multicast Traffic Channel) , multicast traffic channel), MCCH (Multicast Control Channel).

The access network element includes at least an enhanced base station (eNB) defined by the 3GPP protocol.

Exemplarily, in the SC-PTM, the SC-MTCH channel is scheduled by using a dynamic scheduling mechanism. In order to improve the reliability of the UE reception, that is, the reception success rate, each transmission block (TB) may be scheduled multiple times on the radio interface. Some UEs only need to receive part of the scheduled signaling to decode the TB. For these UEs, it is helpful to determine which schedules are used for the same TB to save battery consumption. After receiving a successful TB, the UE can ignore the follow-up. The scheduling of the TB.

With the method provided in this embodiment, when the access network element eNB schedules the TB of the SC-MTCH, the following exemplary manner may be adopted. In the first exemplary method of FIG. 15, the multiple scheduling of one TB is only After scheduling in an MTP, after the UE receives a successful TB in an MTP, the scheduling of the TB in the MTP can be ignored. In the second exemplary method of FIG. 16, the eNB configures and indicates that one scheduling of only one TB is scheduled in one MTP, and indicates that the number of MTPs of one TB is continuously scheduled, and the UE can know which number of MTPs are calculated by calculating the number of MTPs. The TBs scheduled by the MTP are the same TB.

It should be noted that the PDSCH of the transport channel scheduled by the PDCCH signaling DCI of the MTP transmission is not necessarily transmitted within the range of the MTP. That is, the PDSCH may not be in the range of the MTP, but this does not affect the implementation of the method and the effect of the implementation.
