Description

Cluster communication method, base station, user equipment and system

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a trunking communication method, a base station, a user equipment, and a system. Background technique

The cluster communication service refers to a cluster communication common network composed of a trunking communication system having technical characteristics such as channel sharing and dynamic allocation, and provides dedicated command and dispatch communication services for group users such as multiple departments and units. In the field of public safety, trunking communication has a wide range of uses.

Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) is a technology that simultaneously provides the same service content to multiple users at the same time. On the network bearer, MBMS uses broadcast or multicast to transmit resources, so as to realize resource sharing between the network (including the core network and the access network), and realize as many multimedia users as possible with the same requirements with as few resources as possible. Service. The MBMS Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) transmission mode requires all cells in a certain area to transmit the same data packet using the same modulation and coding mode at the same time and frequency.

At present, people are studying to use the MBMS technology to carry the trunking communication service. Due to the mobility of the user equipment (UE), the dynamic changes of the service scene often occur, for example, from the unicast area to the unicast area, the MBSFN area to the MBSFN area. Wait.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work are within the scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a cluster communication method according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, which is described from a base station side of a source MBMS single frequency network area on a network side, and the method includes:

S100: The source base station receives the temporary mobile group identity TMGI information corresponding to the current multimedia broadcast multicast service MBMS of the target base station that is sent by the target base station, where the target base station is located in the target MBMS single frequency network area.

Specifically, the target base station is a base station in an MBMS single frequency network area adjacent to a base station (ie, a source base station) of a source MBMS single frequency network area; the source base station and the target base station mutually transmit (ie, exchange each other) corresponding to each current MBMS. The temporary mobile group identifies the TMGI information, and specifically exchanges the TMGI list information of the MBMS, that is, the source base station sends the TMGI corresponding to the current MBMS to the target base station, and the source base station receives the TMGI corresponding to the current MBMS of the target base station sent by the target base station.

Step S102: The source base station receives an MBMS interest indication sent by the user equipment, where the MBMS interest indication includes TMGI information corresponding to the MBMS that is interested in the user equipment.

Specifically, the MBMS interest indication may be used to notify a base station of a source MBMS single frequency network area, an MBMS that the current UE is receiving or wanting to receive, or an MBMS that is no longer received or no longer wants to receive; understandably, some The UE has the ability to receive MBMS, and some UEs do not. The TMGI can be used to identify the ID of the MBMS, that is, the identifier used in the MBMS to uniquely identify the multicast and broadcast bearer services;

It can be understood that step S102 and step S100 can be performed simultaneously, or step S100 is performed first, or step S102 is performed first.

Step S104: When the user equipment cannot receive the current MBMS of the source base station, the The source base station selects a target base station that can provide the MBMS that is interested in the user equipment to perform handover according to the MBMS interest indication and the TMGI information corresponding to the current MBMS of the target base station.

Specifically, the user equipment in the embodiment of the present invention cannot receive the current MBMS of the source base station. Specifically, the user equipment has difficulty in receiving the current MBMS of the source base station, that is, the user equipment may be interfered with, or move to the source MBMS single frequency network. The edge of the area, etc., makes it difficult to receive MBMS. When the user equipment cannot receive the MBMS, the source base station may select the target base station corresponding to the MBMS that is of interest to the UE to perform handover according to the temporary mobility group identifier TMGI information of the target MBMS single frequency network area stored by itself.

Further, after the step S102, the source base station may determine that the user equipment cannot receive the MBMS by using the handover decision HO Command, and then perform step S104. Specifically, the MBMS interest indication reported by the user equipment received by the source base station may imply the user. The device receives the current MBMS of the source base station, and needs to perform the handover. The source base station can determine, by using the HO command, that the user equipment cannot receive the current MBMS of the source base station, and step S104 is performed.

The device cannot receive the MBMS of the source base station.

Step S206: When it is determined that the user equipment cannot receive the MBMS of the source base station according to the measurement report, select, according to the MBMS interest indication and the TMGI information corresponding to the current MBMS of the target base station, that the user equipment is interested. The target base station of the MBMS performs handover. Specifically, reference may be made to step S104, and details are not described herein again.

In detail, another embodiment of the trunking communication method provided by the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, further describes an embodiment of the present invention from a source base station and a UE side of the network side, and the method includes:

Step S600: The source base station and the target base station mutually send temporary mobile group identity TMGI information corresponding to each current MBMS.

MCCH related information. For example, the UE in the IDLE state is interested in the service 1, the target cell (ie, the neighboring cell) A provides the service 1 , 2, the neighbor cell B provides the service 1 , 3 , and the neighbor cell C provides the service 2 , 4 . When the UE moves to the cell boundary, the signals of the neighboring cells A, B, and C are detected, and the UE wants to receive the service 1, and after screening, it is found that the A and B cells provide the service, and then the UE can according to the A, B cell. If the quality or the number of lost packets is determined to be reselected to the better quality A cell, the MCCH content of the A cell is obtained, and the A cell is selected for reselection;

Step S608: After reselecting to the target cell, the user equipment receives the cluster service sent by the target cell according to the content of the multicast control channel.

Further, in the embodiment of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , the UE may further include: before acquiring the content of the multicast control channel of the target cell of the MBMS that can provide the user equipment:

The UE acquires a mapping relationship between the TMGI of the target MBMS single frequency network area and the cluster group to which the user equipment belongs; when the UE cannot receive the MBMS of the source base station, determines the target MBMS single frequency network according to the mapping relationship. When the TMGI of the area corresponds to the TMGI in the cluster group in which the user equipment is interested, the MBMS information related to the MBMS in the target MBMS single frequency network area is obtained.

After receiving the MCCH change indication information of the neighboring cell, the UE will read the MCCH to the neighboring cell to determine whether the service of interest is already started, and/or obtain the MCCH related information of the service of interest; the UE acquires the MBMS of interest in advance. The content of the multicast control channel of the target cell can ensure the continuity of the trunking communication service when the UE switches. In the following, in the embodiment of the foregoing FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, the following steps may be performed in the embodiment of the foregoing FIG. 1 to FIG.

Step S700: The Multi-cell/Multicast Coordination Entity (MCE) receives an MBMS session request from the upper layer that includes the cluster communication indication.

Step S702: The MCE forwards the MBMS session request to the base station in the MBSFN area, and forwards the header compression protocol ROHC algorithm parameter, and the ROHC algorithm parameter may include related parameters such as ROHC synchronization information, such as a compressed mode, and a packet without header compression. Cycle, the first parameter of the offset of the packet that performs the header compression, and the like;

Step S704: After receiving the MBMS session request and the header compression protocol ROHC algorithm parameter sent by the upper layer, the base station performs a header compression protocol ROHC algorithm compression on the MBMS data header according to the ROHC algorithm parameter.

Specifically, the upper layer in the step S704 of the embodiment of the present invention may be an upper layer node or an upper layer network element such as an MCE or a Mobility Management Entity (MME). In this embodiment, an MCE is used as an example for description; The clustering service indication of the TMGI of the cluster communication is added for transmitting the information about the ROHC. The data compressed in the embodiment of the present invention is the MBMS data from the MBMS GW, and does not include the control signaling data packet of the synchronization protocol.

It should be noted that the ROHC algorithm parameter is applicable to all base stations in the MBSFN area. If the BMSC has compressed the data header, the indication message of "RoHC Compression" should be carried in the MBMS session request, so that the MCE knows that the BMSC has already RoHC compression is performed, and the cluster service data indicating the base station to the MBMS session is prevented from being RoHC compressed. Since the MBMS can only use the Unidirectional mode compression in the unidirectional mode, the MCE needs to carry the five parameters of the profile, MAX_CID, L, TIMER-1 and TIMER-2 in the MBMS session request message sent to the base station, so that the same All base stations in an MBSFN Area use the same RoHC compression parameters to ensure consistent compression results. Of course, the five RoHC compression parameters of profile, MAX-CID, L, TIMER-1 and TIMER-2 can also be sent by the MCE to the base station through other messages.

Step S706: The base station sends the MBMS session information carrying the compression information of the ROHC algorithm to the user equipment through the multicast control channel.

Step S708: After receiving the MCCH content sent by the base station, the UE analyzes and learns the phase of the ROHC. The content is then decompressed from the clustered packets.

The base station uses the ROHC algorithm to compress the data headers for the trunking communication service, which greatly improves the efficiency of using the wireless resources.

It should be noted that the MBMS in various embodiments of the present invention may be a cluster service.

By implementing the embodiment of the present invention, the UE sends an MBMS interest indication to the network side, and the network side selects a target cell that can provide the MBMS that is interested in the user equipment to perform handover according to the MBMS interest indication, thereby greatly reducing handover between the UEs. The delay solves the technical problem that the prior art cannot guarantee the continuity of the trunking communication service during the area handover, and the target obtained by the base station of the source MBSFN area and the base station of the target MBSFN area and the base station of the target MBSFN area are mutually transmitted.
