Description

多播承载的管理方法和终端设备 技术领域
本发明涉及多媒体广播组播领域,尤其涉及多播承载的管理方法和终端设备。
背景技术
多媒体广播组播服务(Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service,MBMS)是第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)为了有效地利用移动通信网络资源而引入的一个服务,MBMS在移动通信网络中提供一个数据源向多个用户发送数据的点到多点服务,实现网络资源共享,提高资源利用率,MBMS可以将多媒体视频信息直接向所有用户广播,也可以发送给一组收费的签约用户,为终端电视业务提供了技术实现手段。
窄带物联网(Narrow Bandwidth-Internet of Things,NB-IoT)是万物互联的一个重要分支,是一种利用窄带技术来承载IoT业务的技术,NB-IoT支持低功耗设备在广域网的蜂窝数据连接。与传统蜂窝网络相比,NB-IoT网络的业务和终端设备具备以下特点:1)NB-IoT的业务速率低,周期较长,与传统蜂窝网络相比,IoT业务产生的数据包更小,对时延不敏感;2)一个NB-IoT基站下连接大量的终端设备;3)与传统蜂窝网络中的终端设备相比,NB-IoT中的终端设备成本更低,复杂性也更低;4)NB-IoT中的终端设备的功耗更低。
为了满足终端设备低成本和低复杂度的要求,NB-IoT中的终端设备一般不具备同时接收多种类型的信道中的数据的能力,如果基于长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)的单小区点对多点(Single Cell-Point To Multipoint,SC-PTM)机制来设计NB-IoT的组播传输方案,则会出现如下场景:NB-IoT中的终端设备不能同时接收单小区MBMS控制信道(Single Cell-MBMS Control Channel,SC-MCCH)中的控制信息和单小区MBMS业务信道(Single Cell-MBMS Traffic Channel,SC-MTCH)中的业务数据,在终端设备接收SC-MTCH中的业务数据的过程中,若当前需要接收SC-MCCH中的控制信息,则需要释放SC-MTCH对应的单小区点对多点MBMS无线承载(Single Cell-MBMS Point to Multipoint Radio Bearer,SC-MRB),在接收完SC-MCCH中的控制信息后,需重新建立SC-MRB。这样会引起以下问题:当释放SC-MRB对应的无线链路控制(Radio Link Control,RLC)实体,会删除已接收成功但尚未进行组包的无线链路控制协议数据单元(Radio Link Control Protocol Data Unit,RLC PDU),当重新建立SC-MRB后,需要重新接收RLC PDU,消耗更多的电量;当多播业务未接收完毕时,可能会触发更高层向网络申请单播重传,频繁的单播重传同样会消耗更多的电量,同时耗费网络资源。

下面的实施例将以终端设备为执行主体对本发明实施例提供的多播承载的管理方法及装置进行描述。
本发明实施例中,名词“挂起”指在当前有其他的事务、进程或会话等任务需要执行的情况下,暂时不关闭/释放/删除当前的事务、进程或会话所对应的资源或部分资源,在执行完所述其他的事务、进程或会话等任务后可以直接使用所述当前的事务、进程或会话所对应的资源或部分资源以便于继续执行当前的任务、进程或会话。在可选方式中,挂起SC-MRB可以替换为冻结SC-MRB、封存SC-MRB、使SC-MRB休眠、锁定SC-MRB等描述。本领域的技术人员可以理解其含义。
本发明实施例中,名词“恢复”与名词“挂起”相对应,指在对其他的事务、进程或会话等任务执行结束后,对执行所述其他的事务、进程或会话等任务之前被闲置/空置的事务、进程或会话等任务对应的资源或部分资源进行重新配置/使用,为其被闲置/空置的事务、进程或会话等任务提供执行环境或资源。在可选方式中,恢复SC-MRB可以替换为解冻SC-MRB、解开SC-MRB、唤醒SC-MRB、解锁SC-MRB等描述。本领域的技术人员可以理解其含义。
下面举例对挂起和恢复进行说明。例如,在计算机操作系统中,内存资源是有限的,当计算机的内存资源不足的情况下,操作系统将内存中的程序进行合理的安排,将一部分进程暂时调离出内存使其不占用内存资源,即挂起进程;当条件允许的时候(例如内存中的一部分进程运行已经结束,释放了其占用的内存资源,当前内存资源充足),操作系统将之前挂起的进程重新调回内存,即恢复进程。
请参见图3,图3是本发明实施例提供的一种多播承载的管理方法的流程示意图,所述方法具体可以实现在图1中的冰箱101、洗衣机102等物联网终端设备上,也可以实现在满足图2的结构框图的终端设备上,所述方法至少包括:
S301、在接收单小区多媒体广播组播服务业务信道SC-MTCH的业务数据的过程中,且存在待接收的第一类型数据的情况下,挂起所述SC-MTCH对应的单小区点对多点多媒体广播组播服务无线承载SC-MRB。
示例性的,复杂度低、功耗低的终端设备使用的带宽较小,同一时间只能在一个载波上传输数据,终端设备的不同物理层通道之间一般为分时多任务,即不同的物理层通道只能在不同的时间出现或者被建立,当需要建立另一个物理信道时,终端设备需要释放当前建立的物理信道,例如终端的物理通道分别有物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)、物理广播信道(Physical Broadcast Channel,PBCH)以及物理下行共享数据信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH),则在同一时刻或同一时隙上,终端只能建立或运行PDCCH、PBCH或PDSCH中的一个物理信道。终端设备在同一时刻能提供给上层协议实体的物理层的资源有限,终端设备只具备同时给一个逻辑信道提供传输链路的能力,当在接收第一逻辑信道的数据的过程中,若需要接收第二逻辑 信道的数据,则根据第一逻辑信道与第二逻辑信道的传输优先级确定传输优先级高的目标逻辑信道,优先为目标逻辑信道提供传输链路。
具体地,所述第一类型数据的传输优先级高于所述SC-MTCH的业务数据,第一类型数据包括SC-MCCH中的配置信息或寻呼过程中的信息,具体实现中,第一类型数据例如可以为SC-MCCH中的调度信息、单小区点对多点机制的定时信息等配置信息,第一类型数据也可以为寻呼消息、寻呼变更指示等寻呼过程中的信息。
具体地,可以在接收到SC-MCCH的变更通知的情况下,挂起所述SC-MTCH对应的SC-MRB。SC-MCCH的变更通知指示SC-MCCH中包含的SC-MTCH的配置信息已经或即将更新,SC-MTCH的配置信息的传输优先级高于SC-MTCH的业务数据,终端设备需优先接收SC-MTCH的配置信息并更新SC-MTCH的配置。
具体地,还可以在需要接收寻呼的情况下,在监听寻呼之前挂起所述SC-MTCH对应的SC-MRB。在空口寻呼机制中,终端设备以不连续接收(Discontinuous Reception,DRX)方式接收寻呼信息以达到节省耗电量的目的,终端设备的RRC层控制物理层在寻呼周期到来时监听物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH),并根据PDCCH中的指示,在物理下行共享数据信道(Physical Downlink Shared Chnnel,PDSCH)中接收寻呼消息来确定是否有网络侧对自己的寻呼,或是否有网络发送的系统消息变更指示,寻呼是网络侧为了确定终端设备具体的位置或者更新系统消息而发起的动作,其传输优先级高于SC-MTCH的业务数据,所以当需要接收寻呼时,终端设备优先监听PDCCH并在有寻呼消息的情况下优先接收寻呼消息。在可选方式中,终端设备可以在寻呼周期到来前的预设的一段时间内挂起所述SC-MTCH对应的SC-MRB。
具体地,SC-MRB是为接收SC-MTCH的业务数据而建立的无线承载,在存在待接收的第一类型数据的情况下,因为待接收的第一类型数据的传输优先级高于SC-MTCH的业务数据,需要优先传输第一类型数据,优先为第一类型数据提供传输链路,即需要为第一数据配置对应的物理层和/或MAC层。
具体地,终端设备只具备同时给一个逻辑信道提供传输链路的能力,在不释放SC-MRB的情况下,挂起SC-MRB包括:保留所述SC-MRB对应的RLC实体,以及释放所述SC-MRB对应的媒体接入控制MAC层的配置和/或物理层的配置。
应当理解的是,在不释放SC-MRB的情况下,若仅释放所述SC-MRB对应的物理层配置,则在保留所述SC-MRB对应的RLC实体的同时还保留所述SC-MRB对应的MAC层的配置。
可选地,挂起SC-MRB之后还包括:通过指示与所述SC-MRB对应的临时移动组标识(Temporary Mobile Group Identity,TMGI)和/或会话标识,通知RRC层上层的协议层所述SC-MRB已经被挂起。
其中,TMGI用于区分不同的MBMS业务。例如,一个MBMS业务对应一个TMGI。会话标识用于区分不同的MBMS会话,例如,一个MBMS业务对应一个MBMS会话标识,即TGMI和会话标识均可以用于标识SC-MRB以及所述SC-MRB对应的MBMS业务,通过向RRC上层的协议层指示所述SC-MRB对应的TMGI和/或会话标识,可使RRC上层的协议层知道目标MBMS业务的对应的SC-MRB当前被挂起,终端设备暂时不能进 行所述目标MBMS业务。
具体地,向上层指示TMGI和/或会话标识的同时,还可用一个状态参数指示SC-MRB的状态。例如,状态参数的值为11,则指示所述SC-MRB已经被建立;状态参数的值为01,则指示所述SC-MRB已经被挂起;状态参数的值为10,则指示所述SC-MRB已经被恢复;状态参数为00,则指示所述SC-MRB已经被释放。
具体地,RRC上层的协议层可以为应用层。例如,用户当前正在利用终端设备的客户端收看电视节目,即终端设备当前接收的MBMS业务为电视节目,SC-MRB为电视节目提供接收服务。在存在待接收的第一类型数据的情况下,终端设备挂起SC-MRB,此时终端设备暂时不能接收SC-MRB对应的MBMS业务,则通过指示与所述SC-MRB对应的TMGI和/或会话标识通知应用层SC-MRB已经被挂起后,客户端的用户界面上显示类似“当前服务不可用”的提示信息。
可选地,在挂起所述SC-MRB后还包括:建立所述第一类型数据的第一无线承载并通过所述第一无线承载接收所述第一类型数据。
可选地,所述第一无线承载可以为信令无线承载,也可以为数据无线承载。
具体地,建立所述第一无线承载包括:建立所述第一类型数据对应的第一RLC实体,配置所述第一类型数据对应的MAC层和物理层。
S302、在完成对所述第一类型数据的接收的情况下,根据所述SC-MRB对应的临时移动组标识TMGI和/或会话标识恢复或释放所述SC-MRB。
可选地,在完成对所述第一类型数据的接收的情况下,释放为所述第一类型数据建立的第一无线承载,释放所述第一无线承载对应的RLC实体以及相应的MAC层和物理层配置。
具体地,完成对所述第一类型数据的接收可以为对SC-MCCH中的全部配置信息接收完成,也可以为对寻呼过程中的信息接收完成。
具体地,在未完成对所述SC-MTCH的业务数据的接收的情况下,根据所述SC-MRB对应的TMGI和/或会话标识恢复所述SC-MRB;在完成对所述SC-MTCH的业务数据的接收的情况下,根据所述SC-MRB对应的TMGI和/或会话标识恢复所述SC-MRB释放所述SC-MRB。
具体地,未完成对所述SC-MTCH的业务数据的接收指所述挂起的SC-MRB对应的MBMS业务接收未结束且终端设备需继续接收所述挂起的SC-MRB对应的业务数据;完成对所述SC-MTCH的业务数据的接收包括两种情况:一种指所述挂起的SC-MRB对应的MBMS业务当前已经结束;另一种指所述挂起的SC-MRB对应的MBMS业务当前未结束,但终端设备不再需要接收所述挂起的SC-MRB对应的MBMS业务。
下面结合第一类型数据举例对完成和未完成对所述SC-MTCH的业务数据的接收的情况进行说明。
在一种情况中,终端当前正在通过第一SC-MRB接收第一MBMS业务的业务数据,基站发来SC-MCCH的变更通知,则终端设备挂起第一SC-MRB,接收SC-MCCH中的配置信息,假设基站通过所述配置信息更新MBMS业务,增设第二MBMS业务,在对配置信息接收结束后第一MBMS业务仍未结束。若持有终端设备的用户对第二MBMS业务 感兴趣,希望终端设备接收第二MBMS业务,虽然第一MBMS业务未结束,但是终端设备当前不再需要接收第一MBMS业务,即完成对第一SC-MRB对应的SC-MTCH的业务数据的接收,释放第一SC-MRB,建立第二MBMS业务对应的第二SC-MRB;若持有终端设备的用户仍对第一MBMS业务感兴趣,希望终端设备继续接收第一MBMS业务,此时终端设备需要继续接收第一MBMS业务,即未完成对所述第一SC-MRB对应的SC-MTCH的业务数据的接收,终端设备恢复第一SC-MRB并在第一MBMS业务结束时释放第一SC-MRB。
在另一种情况中,终端设备当前正在通过第一SC-MRB接收第一MBMS业务的业务数据,终端设备当前需要接收寻呼,则终端设备挂起第一SC-MRB,接收寻呼;寻呼不涉及对MBMS业务的更新,则在寻呼接收后,若终端设备未被网络寻呼,同时第一MBMS业务未结束且用户对第一MBMS业务仍感兴趣,则终端设备需要继续接收第一MBMS业务,即未完成对所述SC-MTCH的业务数据的接收,终端设备恢复第一SC-MRB并在第一MBMS业务结束时释放第一SC-MRB;若第一MBMS业务未结束但是用户通过接收寻呼消息发现被网络寻呼,则需要建立RRC连接对网络进行响应,此时终端设备可能不能再继续接收第一MBMS业务,即完成对所述SC-MTCH的业务数据的接收,终端设备释放第一SC-MRB。
具体地,恢复所述SC-MRB包括:根据所述SC-MRB对应的TMGI和/或会话标识确定所述SC-MRB,并根据所述SC-MRB确定所述SC-MRB对应的RLC实体;根据SC-MCCH中的信息为所述SC-MRB配置MAC层和/或物理层。
具体地,恢复所述SC-MRB可以使用SC-MRB挂起流程中保留的与所述SC-MRB对应的RLC实体。
具体地,配置MAC层和/或物理层包括:接收单小区点对多点配置(Single Cell Point To Multipoint Configuration,SCPTMConfiguration)信息,所述SCPTMConfiguration信息包括SC-MTCH信息列表sc-mtch-InfoList;每一个SC-MTCH对应sc-mtch-InfoList中的一个sc-mtch-Info,根据所述sc-mtch-Info配置MAC层和/或物理层。
具体地,所述sc-mtch-Info包括组-无线网络临时标识(Group-Radio Network Tempory Identity,G-RNTI)、SC-MTCH调度信息(sc-mtch-SchedulingInfo)等参数信息,其中,G-RNTI用于对信道加扰,sc-mtch-SchedulingInfo为SC-MTCH设置的DRX信息,在sc-mtch-Info中不含sc-mtch-SchedulingInfo的情况下,SC-MTCH的信息可以在任何子帧中被传输。
可选地,恢复所述SC-MRB之后还包括:通过指示与所述SC-MRB对应的TMGI和/或会话标识,通知RRC层上层的协议层所述SC-MRB已经被恢复。
具体地,在步骤S101挂起SC-MRB的流程中执行通过指示与所述SC-MRB对应TMGI和/或会话标识,通知RRC层上层的协议层所述SC-MRB已经被挂起,则在所述SC-MRB恢复的情况下,相应地,可以通知RRC层上层的协议层相应的SC-MRB已经被恢复。
在图3所描述的方法中,在接收SC-MTCH的业务数据的过程中若需接收第一类型的数据,则挂起SC-MTCH对应的SC-MRB,然后接收第一类型数据,在接收第一类型数据 完成后,又恢复SC-MRB,继续接收SC-MTCH的业务数据,将SC-MRB挂起只释放MAC层和/或物理层的配置,保留SC-MRB对应的RLC实体,保留RLC实体也即保留RLC实体缓存的RLC PDU,在恢复SC-MRB时只需根据SC-MCCH中的信息重新配置MAC层和/或物理层,无需重新建立SC-MRB对应的RLC实体,也无需重新接收RLC PDU,避免反复释放和建立SC-MRB,节省网络资源和终端设备的功耗。
以上主要介绍了本发明实施例提供的方法的流程,下面结合协议结构对本发明实施例提供的方法的逻辑传输链路与RLC实体的变化进行介绍,参见图4-图5。
图4示出了一种无线通信协议的层次可能的结构示意图,无线通信协议从上往下为网络高层、RLC层、MAC层、物理层,其中,无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)层、网络层、传输层、应用层、非接入层等均为网络高层,RLC层、MAC层为OSI第二层协议,物理层为OSI第一层协议。本发明实施例中的SC-MRB建立、挂起、恢复、释放涉及RRC层、RLC层、MAC层以及物理层。
RRC层可以实现MBMS业务通知,实现MBMS业务对应的无线承载的建立、修改与释放,其中,RRC层通过指示RLC层、MAC层以及物理层进行相应的操作完成对无线承载的建立、修改、释放。
RLC层主要实现对协议服务数据单元的分割和重组、各种数据逻辑链路的建立、释放、配置等功能,RLC层由多个RLC实体和控制实体组成,一个RLC实体对应一个RB,RLC实体可根据传输业务类型的不同,配置成非确认模式(UM)、确认模式(AM)以及透明模式(TM),本发明实施例中SC-MRB对应的RLC实体为非确认模式RLC实体;RLC控制实体主要实现数据逻辑链路的建立、释放以及参数配置等。
MAC层处于物理层和RLC层之间,向上为RLC层提供服务,RLC层通过逻辑信道将RLC层的PDU发送给MAC层发送,MAC层向下利用物理信道使用物理层提供的服务。MAC层主要实现逻辑信道和物理信道的映射、MAC层服务数据单元(Service Data Unit,SDU)与物理层数据传输块的动态适配以及对物理层传输参数进行动态配置等功能,在本发明实施例中,MAC层实现将SC-MTCH的业务数据的PDU传递给RLC实体以使RLC实体对PDU进行重组。
物理层实现物理信道编解码、物理信道的复用与解复用、射频处理等功能。
在接收SC-MTCH的业务数据的过程中,终端设备中的逻辑传输链路的变化可以如图5所示,图5是本发明实施例提供的执行多播承载的管理方法的逻辑传输链路和RLC实体变化示意图。首先终端设备正在通过SC-MRB接收SC-MTCH的业务数据,RLC实体A为SC-MRB对应的RLC实体,MAC层和物理层中的配置均为SC-MTCH对应的配置;在存在待接收的第一类型数据的情况下,第一类型数据的传输优先级高于SC-MTCH的业务数据,则优先为第一类型数据提供传输链路,终端设备的MAC层和物理层的资源有限,则释放MAC层和物理层的配置,同时保留RLC实体A,此时SC-MRB被挂起,然后新建RLC实体B,根据待接收的第一类型数据对应的逻辑信道类型对释放后的MAC层和物理层进行重新配置,通过新建的无线承载接收第一类型数据;在完成对第一类型数据的接收后,释放RLC实体B,并释放MAC层和物理层的配置,同时为SC-MTCH配置MAC 层和物理层,RLC实体A与配置好的MAC层和物理层构成SC-MRB,此时SC-MRB被恢复,通过恢复的SC-MRB继续接收SC-MTCH的业务数据;在完成对SC-MTCH的业务数据的接收的情况下,则释放RLC实体A及SC-MRB对应的MAC层和物理层的配置完成对SC-MRB的释放。在可选情况中,在完成对第一类型数据的接收并释放RLC实体B、MAC层和物理的配置后,在不需要继续接收所述SC-MTCH的业务数据的情况下,也可直接释放RLC实体A,其中,不需要接收所述SC-MTCH的业务数据的情况已在上述实施例中举例阐述,不再赘述。
