In order to make those skilled in the art person understand the present invention program better, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, in the embodiment of the invention 1:
Network side is example with the core net: core net at first resolves into a plurality of son streams with same business by hierarchical coding, sends professional beginning request message MBMS SESSION START then, wherein:
Hierarchical coding in the present embodiment is that multimedia broadcast/group broadcast service is decomposed into basic layer level data and enhancement layer level data; Receive only the MBMS data division of basic layer even the principle of decomposing is a terminal, just can obtain original MBMS business by the demodulation sign indicating number, only lower grade of Ye Wu service quality (QoS); And receive basic layer and increase the two-part data of layer, just can obtain higher level QoS business;
For example: require E-UTRA (access of evolved universal terrestrial wireless) MBMS will support the mobile TV program of 16 channels at least in 3GPP TR 25.913, each channel is approximately 300kbps; 300kbps is equivalent to per second will pass image about 30 frames; A kind of simple decomposing scheme is exactly the part that the mobile TV program of a 300kbps is decomposed into two 15 frame/seconds, can certainly be to decompose in the application layer part (program source code section) of mobile TV program;
Simultaneously, core net can to described basic layer level data and the enhancement layer level data adopts the serial multiple connection in time domain or adopt parallel multiple connection mode to be mapped in the transmission resource block in frequency domain, therefore, terminal needs form notice receiving terminal for the data of these two grades shared resource block location etc. in transmission course, so that can accurately receive corresponding data according to self-ability by professional beginning request message; And this information comprises at least: the position of the transmission resource block that basic layer and enhancement layer are shared and zero-time and/or the mapping mode and/or the precoding mode of transmission, and/or every layer of coding that is adopted and modulation system etc.; And in the embodiment of the invention 1, begin to have increased in the request message the traffic identifier that shows the affiliated business of son stream in this business, concrete message format is as follows:
-TMGI; Temporary Mobile Group Identity
-Sub-stream identity{optional, e.g.TMGI1, TMGI2}; Sub-traffic identifier
-MBMS Bearer Service Type; MBMS carries COS
-MBMS Session Identity, if available; MBMS session identification (if available)
-Iu Signalling Connection Identifier IE; Iu signaling connection identifier
-RAB parameters (including e.g.Allocation/Retention Priority); RAB parameter (comprise distribution, keep priority)
-PDP Type Information, if available; PDP type information (if available)
-MBMS Session Duration; MBMS session persistence
-MBMS Service Area; The MBMS service-domain
-Frequency Layer Convergence Flag, if available; Frequency layer convergence mark (if available)
-RA List of Idle Mode UEs, ifavailable; The Tracking Area List (if available) of Idle pattern UE
-Global CN-ID IE, only when the MBMS SES SION START message issent from a CN node towards an RNC for which the sending CN node is not thedefault CN node; Whole world core net sign
-MBMS Session Repetition Number, if available; MBMS session number of repetition (if available)
-Time to MBMS Data Transfer; The MBMS data transmission period
As above shown in the form, in MBMS SESSION START message, increase sub-traffic identifier Sub-stream identity, TMGI comprising other son streams that belong to a business together, can arrange this Sub-stream identity only occurs in the configuration of base layer data place son stream, if Access Network is received this message and is found wherein to comprise Sub-stream identity, just know that this is the basic straton stream of certain business, and, know the TMGI of other son streams that belong to this business together according to the one or more TMGI signs that wherein comprise.
Because the transmission of a plurality of sub-flow datas of same business is initiated simultaneously, therefore Access Network can be received the MBMS SESSION START message at each son stream at the same time, can and guarantee that the transmission of data is synchronous at this a little stream unified distribution resource like this;
In addition, in the professional in the prior art beginning request message, shown in the table 1 composed as follows of TMGI:
Table 1
Figure S200710122538XD00081
Wherein, Octet 2 is that a TMGI content-length is represented a Length of Temporary MobileGroup Identity contents, TMGI is a regular length at present, therefore this is actually not effect, can utilize this byte to come the sub-traffic identifier of transport service, can also continue to transmit simultaneously Length ofTemporary Mobile Group Identity contents;
Thereby in the embodiment of the invention 2, can also not begin to increase sub-traffic identifier in the request message in business, but in TMGI, do not increase under the situation of its byte length, increase sub-traffic identifier, specifically as shown in table 2:
Table 2
Figure S200710122538XD00082
Wherein, amended TMGI structure is in the second byte part, and 1~3 bit representation stream is numbered the length of 4~8 bit representation Temporary Mobile Group Identity contents; 3 bits can identify 8 son streams, and next professional Delamination Transmission of ordinary circumstance can not surpass 8 son streams; The length of using 5 bit identification TMGI contents simultaneously also is enough; Thereby new TMGI form has increased sub-stream information, and with originally compared the length that does not increase TMGI; So, core net is when branch layer service of transmission, meeting will be included in the signaling simultaneously by a plurality of son streams that the signaling downstream node belongs to same business, each node is found out this a little stream independently professional, banising the TMGI that puts according to each height judges, determine which sub-stream is to belong to same business, and according to son stream ID obtain which sub-stream be base layer data, which a little stream be enhancement data; For example: certain business resolves into 3 sublayers, so among the TMGI of these 3 sublayer correspondences, Temporary Mobile Group Identity IEI, Length of TemporaryMobile Group Identity contents, MBMS Service ID, MCC, MNC are identical, that different is Sub-stream ID, and it be that 0, two Sub-stream ID that strengthens straton stream joins respectively is 1 and 2 that the Sub-stream ID of basic straton flow data joins;
After downstream node and Access Network receive that the session of core net transmission begins message, judge a plurality of professional corresponding TMGI that comprises in this message, if finding that wherein some professional MBMS Service ID is identical just knows that these several business are a plurality of sub-flow datas of certain actual MBMS business, further distinguish basic layer then and enhancement data is carried out subsequent operation according to Sub-stream ID.
In the embodiment of the invention 1 and 2, after Access Network is knowing that core net has been initiated a broadcasting/packet service request, when the terminal receiving ability is low, receive only and the basic layer of demodulation level data according to indication information; When the terminal receiving ability is strong, receive simultaneously and demodulation basic layer level data and enhancement layer level data according to indication information; Then the basic layer level data behind the coding and enhancement layer level data are carried out and go here and there conversion; Coded data after the conversion is mapped on each transmitting antenna of base station in serial on the time domain and sends; When basic layer level data transmitted, make terminal in running order; When the enhancement layer level data is transmitted, make the radio frequency part of terminal and receive link portions to change resting state over to; Concrete mapping scheme as shown in Figure 2; In addition, the data of basic layer and enhancement layer also can adopt the mode of frequency division multiplexing under multicarrier system, as shown in Figure 3.
Then, Access Network distributes the resource of coordinating mutually: if system configuration is a frequency domain Delamination Transmission strategy, then be different straton flow distribution different carriers, identical time slot and code channel resource according to the Delamination Transmission strategy that core net adopted for different straton flow datas; If system configuration is a time domain Delamination Transmission strategy, then be different straton flow distribution same carrier waves, different time-gap and code channel resource; So just guaranteed to belong to together the resource that a plurality of sub-flow distribution of a business is coordinated mutually, because the transmission of base layer data is to guarantee, when system resource was not enough, Access Network can also the preferential resource that guarantees base layer data; After being different straton flow distribution resources, described Access Network returns response message again and gives core net.
Described core net sends sub-flow data to Access Network after receiving the response message that Access Network returns.
At this moment, after Access Network receives described sub-flow data again,, dispose the corresponding packet of each Transmission Time Interval (TTI), and begin to be transmitted as initial from data, be numbered earlier according to the data transmission parameters of each height stream; Numbering can have certain-length, recycle, as adopting 4bit sign etc.; When if frequency domain Delamination Transmission strategy is adopted in professional transmission, in coordinating resource units (different carrier, identical time slot and code channel), transmit the packet of the corresponding identical numbering of each son stream; If time domain Delamination Transmission strategy is adopted in professional transmission, in coordinating resource units (same carrier wave, different time-gap and code channel), transmit the packet of the corresponding identical numbering of each son stream;
Concrete, in data transmission procedure, it is the suitable air interface data packets for transmission form of unit that the IP bag of each height stream that Access Network can transmit core net is encapsulated as with TTI according to transmission parameter, and from starting point, be numbered, as from 0 open numbering; The identical processing of The data to each height stream; When data send,, when arriving, in coordinating resource units (different carrier, identical time slot and code channel), transmit the packet of the corresponding identical numbering of each son stream then in each chronomere if adopt frequency domain Delamination Transmission strategy; If adopt time domain Delamination Transmission strategy, when arriving, in coordinating resource units (same carrier wave, different time-gap and code channel), transmit the packet of the corresponding identical numbering of each son stream in each chronomere.
One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that all or part of step that realizes in the foregoing description method is to instruct relevant hardware to finish by program, described program can be stored in the embodied on computer readable access media, does not repeat them here.
As can be seen, adopt method of the present invention, the sub-traffic identifier that shows a plurality of son streams of same business by increase, existing message signaling process is not made a change, and be convenient to the resource that Access Network is coordinated a plurality of sub-flow distribution according to transmission policy and sub-traffic identifier, and each sub-flow data carried out Synchronous Processing, guaranteed that each sub-flow data sends synchronously, guaranteed that terminal obtains gain and the benefit that hierarchical coding brings.
Based on above-mentioned thought, the present invention also provides a kind of multimedia broadcast/group broadcast service Delamination Transmission system, and as shown in Figure 4, this system comprises: core network element 401 and Access Network unit 402;
Described core network element 401 is used for initiating multimedia broadcast/group broadcast service to Access Network unit 402 and begins request, and receives the response message that Access Network unit 402 returns, and then sends sub-flow data to Access Network unit 402;
