- FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of still another embodiment of reconfiguring a wireless resource according to the present invention. Mode for carrying out the invention
- both the MBMS service and the non-MBMS service can be transmitted on the dedicated channel or the common channel.
- the two types cannot be received at the same time. Traffic on the channel, but if different services are switched to transmit on the common channel, and the UE is in the CELL-FACH state, and only the service is received from the common channel, the UE can simultaneously receive multiple services.
- the basic idea of the present invention is: by reconfiguring the radio resources, the UE in the CELL-DCH state is migrated to the CELL-FACH state, and the service in which the transport channel is the dedicated channel is switched to the common channel, thereby allowing the UE to wirelessly In the case of insufficient access capability, the current service and the new MBMS service can be received simultaneously.
- the present invention can use the existing message to trigger the process of reconfiguring the radio resource, and can also re-configure the radio resource by introducing a new message requesting the network device to re-adjust the radio resource and explain the reason, for example, because the UE has insufficient radio access capability, for example, :
- the format of the specific message conforms to the standard because it cannot receive a dedicated physical channel and an auxiliary common physical channel in parallel.
- Step 501 The UTRAN sends the DCCH on the DCC to the UE in the CELL_DCH state.
- MBMS-specific notification message for parameters such as service identification, reason, etc. .
- Step 502 503 The UE in the CELL_DCH state receives the MBMS dedicated notification message, and determines whether it can receive the new MBMS service and the current service at the same time. If yes, step 507 is performed; if not, step 504 is performed.
- Steps 504-506 The UTRAN reconfigures the radio resource, and then the UE determines whether it can receive the new MBMS service and the current service at the same time. If it can receive, step 507 is performed; if not, the user is notified, the user is in the current service and A selection is made between the MBMS services to determine whether to receive the new MBMS service. If the user decides to receive the new MBMS service, step 507 is performed; otherwise, the current process flow is ended.
- the reconfiguring the radio resource mainly refers to migrating the UE from the CELL-DCH state to the CELL-FACH state, and switching the service of the transport channel to the dedicated channel to the common channel.
- Step 507 The UE will read the MCCH at a predefined time to obtain MBMS service information and MBMS radio bearer information, and the UE starts to receive data according to the obtained MBMS service information and MBMS radio bearer information.
- the reconfiguring the radio resources in the step 504 has different implementation schemes, and specifically includes: Embodiment 1:
- the UE in the CELL_DCH state determines that the radio access capability of the UE is insufficient, and cannot receive the current service and the new MBMS service at the same time, and notifies the non-access stratum of the radio resource management function entity of the UE.
- the resource management function entity negotiates with the peer entity in SGS to modify the quality of service (QoS) parameters.
- QoS quality of service
- Step 601 The UE sends a modify PDP context request to the SGSN. Modify PDP Context Request
- Step 602 603 The SGSN sends an update PDP context request to the GGSN after receiving the request. Update PDP Context Request, the GGSN receives the reply and updates the PDP context response Update PDP Context Response.
- Steps 604 to 605 After receiving the response, the SGSN interacts with the UE through the access network RAN to modify the radio access bearer. After the modification is completed, the SGSN sends a Modify PDP Context Accept to the UE.
- the request message for modifying the PDP context triggers the modification of the radio access bearer.
- the radio bearer that the UE needs to receive is adjusted to the radio access capability range of the UE, the UE can simultaneously receive the current Business and new MBMS business.
- the operation of the wireless access bearer modification is to migrate the UE from the CELL-DCH state to the CELL-FACH state, and switch the service of the transport channel to the dedicated channel to the common channel.
- the network side sends a Modify PDP Context Reject message to the UE.
- the UE determines whether it can receive the current service and the new one at the same time.
- the MBMS service ie: proceeds to step 505.
- the UE in the CELL-DCH state when the UE in the CELL-DCH state receives the MBMS service-specific notification message, it determines that its radio access capability is insufficient, and cannot receive the current service and the new MBMS service at the same time, and then sends the UE capability information to the UTRAN, triggering The network side reconfigures the radio bearer.
- Steps 701-704 The UE capability information (Capability Information) process is used to notify the network device of the MBMS capability information of the UE. Specifically, the UE sends the UE capability information to the radio access network RAN. If the network device considers that the radio resource used by the UE can be reconfigured, the radio resource is reconfigured through a Radio Bearer Reconfiguration procedure. If the radio access capability of the UE can receive the reconfigured channel including the MBMS service channel in parallel after the radio resource reconfiguration is completed, the UE starts to receive the MBMS service; otherwise, it reports to the user, and the user makes a selection.
- the UE capability information procedure wireless How the bearer reconfiguration process is implemented belongs to the prior art.
- the reconfiguring the radio resource is specifically: moving the UE from the CELL_DCH state to the CELL_FACH state, and switching the service of the transport channel to the dedicated channel to the common channel, for example: the downlink transport channel can be switched from the DCH to the FACH.
- the process of reconfiguring the radio resources described in Embodiment 2 can also be redundantly performed by the Transport Channel Reconfiguration process.
- the solution introduces a new message radio bearer reconfiguration request, which is used by the UE to request the network device to reconfigure the radio resource.
- the message indicates that the radio resource is re-adjusted and the reason is explained because the UE has insufficient radio access capability, for example: a dedicated physical channel and an auxiliary common physical channel cannot be received in parallel.
- the UE sends a radio bearer reconfiguration request to the access network RAN, and the RAN and the UE reconfigure the radio resource by using a radio bearer reconfiguration procedure, for example, the downlink transmission may be performed.
- the channel is switched from DCH to FACH. If the radio access capability can receive the reconfigured channel including the MBMS traffic channel in parallel after the radio resource reconfiguration is completed, the UE starts to receive the MBMS service; otherwise, it reports to the user, and the user makes a selection.
- the solution for receiving multiple service processes becomes:
- the UTRAN when the UTRAN decides to establish a point-to-multipoint radio bearer, the UTRAN sends an MBMS-specific notification message on the dedicated signaling channel to inform the UE that does not currently receive the CELL-DCH state of the MBMS service transmitted using the PTM mode.
- the UE that cannot receive the MBMS service in parallel and the CELL_DCH state of the already received service receives the notification message.
- re-configure the radio resource with the network if the radio resource fails to receive or reconfigure in parallel after reconfiguring the radio resource, notify the user that the user is in the ongoing service and new
- the process of adding an MBMS service in a session includes the following steps: a.
- the UE in the Idle mode first performs an RRC connection establishment process; the UE in the CELL-PCH and U A_PCH states first performs a cell update process.
- the UE initiates the NAS join process.
- the SGSN informs the UTRAN that a UE has joined a certain MBMS service, and the UTRAN determines the transmission mode used by the service:
- the ell'. UTRAN sends an MBMS special notification message including parameters such as service identifier and cause on the DCCH to notify the UE in the CELL_DCH state, wherein the reason may be that the session is medium.
- the CELL-DCH state UE that receives the MBMS-specific notification message, if it can receive the MBMS service and the current service at the same time, perform step cl5; if it cannot simultaneously receive the MBMS service and the current service, negotiate with the network Reconfigure the radio resource. If the MBMS service and the current service can be received at the same time after reconfiguring the radio resource, perform step cl5. If the radio resource fails to receive or reconfigure the radio resource in parallel after reconfiguring the radio resource, notify the user that the user is A choice is made between the current service and the MBMS service; if the user decides to receive the new MBMS service, step cl5 is performed; otherwise, the current process flow is ended.
- the reconfiguring the radio resource with the network is specifically: moving the UE from the CELL_DCH state to the CELL_FACH state, and switching the service of the transport channel to the dedicated channel to the public. channel.
- the UE will read the MCCH at a predefined time to obtain the MBMS service information and the MBMS radio bearer information. Thereafter, the UE starts to receive the PTM radio bearer according to the obtained MBMS service information and the MBMS radio bearer information.

In traditional mobile networks, Cell Broadcast Service (CBS) allows low bit rate data to be sent to all users through a cell shared broadcast channel. Message business.
目前, 人们对移动通信的需求已不再满足于电话和消息业务, 随着 Internet 的迅猛发展, 大量多媒体业务涌现出来, 其中一些应用业务要求多 个用户能同时接收相同数据, 比如: 视频点播、 电视广播、 视频会议、 网上 教育、互动游戏等,这些移动多媒体业务与一般的数据相比,具有数据量大、 持续时间长、 时延敏感等特点。 现有 IP组播技术只适用于有线 IP网络, 而 不适用于移动网络, 因为移动网络具有特定的网络结构、 功能实体和无线接 口, 这些都与有线 IP网络不同。 At present, the demand for mobile communication is no longer satisfied with the telephone and message services. With the rapid development of the Internet, a large number of multimedia services have emerged. Some of the application services require multiple users to receive the same data at the same time, such as: video on demand, Television broadcasting, video conferencing, online education, interactive games, etc., these mobile multimedia services have the characteristics of large amount of data, long duration, and delay sensitivity compared with general data. Existing IP multicast technology is only applicable to wired IP networks, but not to mobile networks, because mobile networks have specific network structures, functional entities, and wireless interfaces, which are different from wired IP networks.
为了有效地利用移动网络资源, WCDMA/GSM全球标准化组织 3GPP 提出了多媒体广播 /组播服务 (MBMS, Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service )业务, 在移动网络中提供一个数据源向多个用户发送数据的点到多 点业务, 实现网絡资源共享,提高网络资源的利用率,尤其是空口接口资源。 3GPP定义的 MBMS不仅能实现纯文本低速率的消息类组播和广播,而且还 能实现高速多媒体业务的组播和广播, 这无疑顺应了未来移动数据发展的趋 势。 In order to effectively utilize mobile network resources, WCDMA/GSM Global Standards Organization 3GPP proposes a Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) service, which provides a point in the mobile network where data sources send data to multiple users. To multi-point services, realize network resource sharing, and improve the utilization of network resources, especially air interface resources. MBMS defined by 3GPP can not only realize plain-text low-rate message-like multicast and broadcast, but also realize multicast and broadcast of high-speed multimedia services, which undoubtedly conforms to the trend of future mobile data development.

从图 1给出的网络结构可以看出, 为了支持 MBMS业务, 在第三代移 动通信系统中增加了移动网功能实体 广播组播业务中心, 即 BM-SC, 所述 BM-SC为内容提供者的入口,用于授权和在移动网中发起 MBMS承载业务, 并按照预定时间计划传送 MBMS内容。 此外, 在 UE、 UTRAN, GERAN、 SGSN、 GGSN等功能实体上增加了与 MBMS相关的功能。 It can be seen from the network structure shown in FIG. 1 that in order to support the MBMS service, a mobile network functional entity broadcast multicast service center, that is, a BM-SC, is added to the third generation mobile communication system, and the BM-SC provides content. The entry of the user is used to authorize and initiate the MBMS bearer service in the mobile network, and deliver the MBMS content according to a predetermined time schedule. In addition, MBMS-related functions are added to functional entities such as UE, UTRAN, GERAN, SGSN, and GGSN.
MBMS包括组播模式和广播模式,其中组播模式需要用户签约相应的组 播组, 进行业务激活, 并产生相应的计费信息。 由于组播模式和广播模式在 业务需求上存在不同, 导致各自的业务流程也不同, 如图 2和图 3所示, 图 2为 MSMS组播模式的业务流程示意图, 图 3为 MSMS广播模式的业务流 程示意图。 The MBMS includes a multicast mode and a broadcast mode. The multicast mode requires the user to subscribe to the corresponding multicast group, perform service activation, and generate corresponding charging information. As the multicast mode and the broadcast mode are different in service requirements, the respective service processes are different. As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the service flow of the MSMS multicast mode, and Figure 3 is the MSMS broadcast mode. Schematic diagram of business process.
如图 2所示, MBMS组播业务涉及的处理过程包括:签约( Subscription )、 月良务宣告 ( Service announcement )> 用户力口入 ( Joining )、 会话开: ½ ( Session Start )、 MBMS通知 ( MBMS notification )、 数据传送( Data transfer )、 会话 结束(Session Stop )和用户退出 ( Leaving )。 其中, 签约过程用来让用户预 先订阅所需的 MBMS服务;服务宣告过程用于由 BM-SC宣告当前能提供的 服务; 用户加入过程即 MBMS组播业务激活过程, UE在加入过程中, 通知 网络自身愿意成为当前组播组的成员, 接收对应业务的组播数据, 该加入过 程会在网络和加入组播组的 UE中创建记录 UE信息的 MBMS UE上下文; 会话开始过程中, BM-SC 准备好数据传输, 通知网络建立相应核心网和接 入网的承载资源; MBMS通知过程用于通知 UE MBMS组播会话即将开始; 在数据传送过程中, BM-SC 通过会话开始过程中建立的承载资源将数据传 输给 UE, MBMS业务在 UTRAN和 UE 间传输时有两种模式: 点对多点 ( PTM )模式和点对点 (PTP )模式, PTM模式通过 MTCH逻辑信道发送 相同的数据,所有加入组播业务或对广播业务感兴趣的 UE都可以接收, PTP 模式通过 DTCH逻辑信道发送数据, 只有相应的一个 UE可以收到; 会话结 束过程用于将会话开始过程建立的承载资源释放; 用户退出过程使组内的订 户离开组播组, 即用户不再接收组播数据, 该过程会将相应 MBMS UE上下 文删除。 As shown in Figure 2, the MBMS multicast service involves the following procedures: subscription, service announcement, user join, session open: 1⁄2 (Session Start), MBMS notification ( MBMS notification ), Data transfer, Session Stop, and Leaving. The sign-off process is used to allow the user to subscribe to the required MBMS service in advance; the service announcement process is used to announce the currently available service by the BM-SC; the user join process is the MBMS multicast service activation process, and the UE is notified during the joining process. The network itself is willing to be a member of the current multicast group and receive the multicast data of the corresponding service. The joining process creates an MBMS UE context for recording the UE information in the network and the UE joining the multicast group. During the start of the session, the BM-SC prepares the data transmission, notifying the network to establish the bearer resources of the corresponding core network and the access network; the MBMS notification process is used to notify the UE that the MBMS multicast session is about to start; during the data transmission process, the BM-SC The data is transmitted to the UE through the bearer resources established during the start of the session. The MBMS service has two modes when transmitting between the UTRAN and the UE: point-to-multipoint (PTM) mode and point-to-point (PTP) mode, and the PTM mode passes the MTCH logical channel. Send the same data, all UEs that join the multicast service or are interested in the broadcast service can receive, PTP mode sends data through the DTCH logical channel, only the corresponding one UE can receive; the session end process is used to establish the session start process The bearer resource is released; the user exit process causes the subscribers in the group to leave the multicast group, that is, the user no longer receives the multicast data, and the process deletes the corresponding MBMS UE context.
如图 3所示, MBMS广播业务涉及的处理过程与 MBMS组播业务类似, 只是在会话开始之前, 不需要执行签约过程和用户加入过程, 并且, 在会话 结束之后, 不需要执行用户退出过程。 As shown in FIG. 3, the MBMS broadcast service involves a process similar to the MBMS multicast service, except that the subscription process and the user join process need not be performed before the session starts, and after the session ends, the user exit process does not need to be performed.
从图 2可以看出, 在 MBMS组播业务流程中, 用户加入和会话开始两 个处理过程是相互独立的, 也就是说, 一个用户可能在会话开始前加入一个 组播业务, 也可能在会话开始后的会话进行中加入一个组播业务。 As can be seen from Figure 2, in the MBMS multicast service flow, the two processes of user join and session start are independent of each other, that is, one user may join a multicast service before the session starts, or may be in a session. A multicast service is added during the start of the session.
对于 UE 所处的状态, 在目前的移动通信体系中, 根据无线资源控制 ( RRC )连接是否建立, 可将 UE分为空闲 (Idle )模式和 RRC连接( R C Connected )模式两种。 其中, 未与 UTRAN设备建立 RRC连接的 UE处于 Idle模式,该模式下的 UE只能通过非接入层( NAS )的标识如 IMSI来区分; 已与 UTRAN设备建立了 RRC连接的 UE处于 RRC Connected模式, 该模 式下的 UE分配了无线网络临时标识(RNTI ), 作为该 UE在公共传输信道 上的标识。 For the state in which the UE is located, in the current mobile communication system, the UE may be classified into an idle (Idle) mode and an RRC connected (R C Connected) mode according to whether a radio resource control (RRC) connection is established. The UE that has not established an RRC connection with the UTRAN device is in the Idle mode, and the UE in this mode can only be distinguished by the identifier of the non-access stratum (NAS), such as the IMSI; the UE that has established the RRC connection with the UTRAN device is in the RRC Connected Mode, the UE in this mode allocates a Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI) as an identifier of the UE on a common transport channel.
对于 RRC Connected模式下的 UE, 又根据 R C连接的层次和 UE能够 使用的传输信道的类型将 UE 区分为不同状态: CELL— PCH 状态、 CELL_FACH状态、 CELL— DCH状态以及 URA— PCH状态,其中前三种状态 的 UE在小区的层次上可以区分, URA_PCH状态的 UE在 UTRAN登记区 ( URA )层次上可以区分。 CELL— DCH状态的 UE被分配了专用的物理信 道, 可以使用专用传输信道或共享信道及它们的组合。 CELL— FACH状态的 UE在下行要连续的监控一个公共的传输信道(FACH ), 上行分配缺省的公 共信道(RACH )。 CELL_PCH和 URA_PCH状态的 UE 采用不连续接收 ( DRX )方式通过相关的 PICH信道监控一个寻呼信道(PCH ), 这两种状 态下没有任何上行活动。 For the UE in the RRC Connected mode, the UE is further divided into different states according to the level of the RC connection and the type of the transport channel that the UE can use: CELL—PCH state, CELL_FACH state, CELL—DCH state, and URA—PCH state, where the former Three states The UEs can be distinguished at the cell level, and the UEs in the URA_PCH state can be distinguished at the UTRAN Registration Area (URA) level. A UE in the CELL-DCH state is assigned a dedicated physical channel, and a dedicated transport channel or a shared channel and a combination thereof may be used. The CELL-FACH state UE continuously monitors a common transport channel (FACH) on the downlink and the default common channel (RACH) on the uplink. The UEs in the CELL_PCH and URA_PCH states use a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode to monitor a paging channel (PCH) through the associated PICH channel, and there is no uplink activity in either state.
通常, 根据 UE模式和状态的不同, 在会话开始前和会话进行中加入 MBMS业务的 UE有不同的处理, 同时, 不同的状态下的 UE具备不同的无 线接入能力。 但无论是会话开始过程在用户加入组播业务之后启动, 还是用 户在会话进行中加入组播业务, 对于无线接入能力不足的 UE都会面临在多 种业务之间进行选择的问题。 Generally, UEs that join the MBMS service before the start of the session and during the session have different processing according to the UE mode and state. Meanwhile, UEs in different states have different wireless access capabilities. However, whether the session start process starts after the user joins the multicast service, or the user joins the multicast service during the session, the UE with insufficient radio access capability faces the problem of selecting between multiple services.
具体来说, 对于用户加入组播业务后该业务的会话开始过程启动的情 况, 包括以下过程: Specifically, after the user joins the multicast service and the session start process of the service is started, the following processes are included:
在会话开始过程中, 当 UTRAN设备决定建立点到多点的无线承载时, UTRAN在专用信令信道上发送专用通知消息告知当前没有接收使用 PTM 模式传送的 MBMS业务的 CELL— DCH状态的 UE;不能并行接收 MBMS业 务和已经存在的活动的 CELL— DCH状态的 UE收到该通知消息后通知用户, 由用户在正在进行的活动和新 MBMS业务之间做出选择; 如果用户决定接 收新 MBMS 业务, UE 将在预定的时间读取 MBMS 点到多点控制信道 ( MCCH ), 获得 MBMS 控制信息; UE根据接收到的控制信息开始接收 MBMS业务。 During the start of the session, when the UTRAN device decides to establish a point-to-multipoint radio bearer, the UTRAN sends a dedicated notification message on the dedicated signaling channel to inform the UE that does not currently receive the CELL-DCH state of the MBMS service transmitted using the PTM mode; The UE that cannot receive the MBMS service in parallel and the CELL_DCH state of the existing active activity notifies the user after receiving the notification message, and the user makes a choice between the ongoing activity and the new MBMS service; if the user decides to receive the new MBMS service The UE will read the MBMS Point-to-Multipoint Control Channel (MCCH) at a predetermined time to obtain MBMS control information; the UE starts receiving the MBMS service according to the received control information.
对于用户在组播业务的会话进行中加入该业务的情况, 如果一个使用 PTM传输模式的会话正在进行中, 用户加入过程完成后, UE发起 PTM无 线承载的接收; 如果正在进行中的会话使用的是 PTP传输模式, UTRAN建 立 PTP无线承载。 一般, 会话中加入 MBMS业务的过程包括以下步驟: 步骤 a. Idle模式的 UE首先执行 RRC连接建 if过程; CELL— PCH和 URA_PCH状态的 UE首先执行小区更新过程; In the case that the user joins the service in the session of the multicast service, if a session using the PTM transmission mode is in progress, after the user join process is completed, the UE initiates reception of the PTM radio bearer; if the ongoing session is used It is a PTP transmission mode, and the UTRAN establishes a PTP radio bearer. Generally, the process of joining an MBMS service in a session includes the following steps: Step a. The UE in the Idle mode first performs an RRC connection setup if; the UE in the CELL-PCH and URA_PCH states first performs a cell update procedure;
步骤 b. 之后, UE发起 NAS加入过程; Step b. Afterwards, the UE initiates a NAS join process;
步驟 c. SGSN通知 UTRAN—个 UE加入了某个 MBMS业务, UTRAN 判断该业务采用的传输模式: Step c. The SGSN notifies the UTRAN that one UE has joined a certain MBMS service, and the UTRAN determines the transmission mode used by the service:
cl. 如果继续使用 PTM传输模式, 处理流程如图 4所示: Cl. If you continue to use the PTM transmission mode, the processing flow is shown in Figure 4:
cll. UTRAN在 DCCH上发送包括业务标识、 原因等参数的 MBMS专 用通知消息, 通知 CELL— DCH状态的 UE, 其中原因可以是会话进行中等; cl2~cl4.接收到上述通知消息的 CELL— DCH状态的 UE判断是否能同 时接收新 MBMS业务和当前业务, 如果能接收, 则执行步骤 cl5; 如果不能 则通知用户, 由用户在当前业务和 MBMS业务之间做出选择, 判断是否接 收新 MBMS业务, 如果用户决定接收该新 MBMS业务, 则执行步骤 cl5; 否则, 结束当前处理流程。 The UTRAN sends an MBMS-specific notification message including a service identifier, a cause, and the like on the DCCH to notify the UE in the CELL_DCH state, wherein the reason may be that the session is medium; cl2~cl4. Receive the CELL-DCH status of the notification message. The UE determines whether the new MBMS service and the current service can be received at the same time. If yes, step c5 is performed; if not, the user is notified, and the user selects between the current service and the MBMS service to determine whether to receive the new MBMS service. If the user decides to receive the new MBMS service, step cl5 is performed; otherwise, the current processing flow is ended.
cl5. UE将在预先定义的时间读 MCCH,获得 MBMS业务信息和 MBMS 无线承载信息, UE根据获得的 MBMS业务信息和 MBMS无线承载信息开 始接收 PTM无线承载的数据。 Cl5. The UE will read the MCCH at a predefined time to obtain MBMS service information and MBMS radio bearer information, and the UE starts to receive PTM radio bearer data according to the obtained MBMS service information and MBMS radio bearer information.
c2. 如果继续使用 PTP传输模式,则 UTRAN和 UE通过适当的 RRC过 程建立 PTP无线承载, 具体处理流程也如图 4所示。 C2. If the PTP transmission mode is continued, the UTRAN and the UE establish a PTP radio bearer through an appropriate RRC procedure, and the specific processing flow is also shown in FIG.
由上述过程可知, 现有技术方案存在以下问题: 处于 CELL— DCH状态 的 UE在无线接入能力不足的情况下, 需要在当前业务和新 MBMS业务之 间进行选择, 可能会释放当前业务, 而接收新 MBMS业务; 或是放弃接收 新 MBMS业务, 而继续接收当前业务。 显然, 现有技术无法同时接收多个 业务, 如此, 大大影响了用户对各类业务的接收。 发明内容 It can be seen from the above process that the prior art solution has the following problems: When the radio access capability is insufficient, the UE in the CELL-DCH state needs to select between the current service and the new MBMS service, and may release the current service. Receive new MBMS service; or give up receiving new MBMS service and continue to receive current service. Obviously, the prior art cannot receive multiple services at the same time, thus greatly affecting the user's reception of various services. Summary of the invention

本发明所提出的同时接收多个业务的方法, 对处于 CELL— DCH状态的 用户设备在无线接入能力不足时, 通过重新配置无线资源, 让 UE 迁移至 CELL一 FACH状态, 一方面可使低无线接入能力的 UE能够并发地接收多个 业务, 尽量减小 UE因为接收不同业务而产生的相互影响; 另一方面, 使得 网络的无线资源管理算法更加灵活, 可以为用户提供更高质量的服务: 无线 资源充裕时, 业务初始建立时可分配更多的资源, 当有更多的业务需要接收 时, 例如: 增加了新的 MBMS业务, 可以重新配置无线资源, 在原来的业 务不中断的情况下同时接收新的业务。 附图简要说明 The method for receiving multiple services at the same time according to the present invention can make the UE migrate to the CELL-FACH state by reconfiguring the radio resources when the radio access capability of the user equipment in the CELL-DCH state is insufficient.

一般, MBMS业务和非 MBMS业务均可以在专用信道或公共信道上传 输, 对于某个 UE来说, 当同时存在多个业务时, 如果该 UE的无线接入能 力不足, 就不能同时接收两种信道上的业务, 但如果将不同业务均切换到公 共信道上传输,且使 UE处于 CELL— FACH状态,只从公共信道上接收业务, 那么, 该 UE就可以同时接收多个业务。 因此, 本发明的基本思想是: 通过 重新配置无线资源, 使处于 CELL— DCH状态的 UE迁移到 CELL— FACH状 态, 并将传输信道为专用信道的业务切换到公共信道, 从而让 UE在自身无 线接入能力不足的情况下, 可以同时接收当前业务和新 MBMS业务。 Generally, both the MBMS service and the non-MBMS service can be transmitted on the dedicated channel or the common channel. For a certain UE, when there are multiple services at the same time, if the wireless access capability of the UE is insufficient, the two types cannot be received at the same time. Traffic on the channel, but if different services are switched to transmit on the common channel, and the UE is in the CELL-FACH state, and only the service is received from the common channel, the UE can simultaneously receive multiple services. Therefore, the basic idea of the present invention is: by reconfiguring the radio resources, the UE in the CELL-DCH state is migrated to the CELL-FACH state, and the service in which the transport channel is the dedicated channel is switched to the common channel, thereby allowing the UE to wirelessly In the case of insufficient access capability, the current service and the new MBMS service can be received simultaneously.
本发明可以利用现有消息触发重配置无线资源的过程,也可以通过引入 新的消息请求网络设备重新配置无线资源, 该消息指示因为 UE无线接入能 力不足请求重新调整无线资源并说明原因, 例如: 由于不能并行接收一条专 用物理信道和一条辅助的公共物理信道等等, 具体消息的格式符合标准规 定。 The present invention can use the existing message to trigger the process of reconfiguring the radio resource, and can also re-configure the radio resource by introducing a new message requesting the network device to re-adjust the radio resource and explain the reason, for example, because the UE has insufficient radio access capability, for example, : The format of the specific message conforms to the standard because it cannot receive a dedicated physical channel and an auxiliary common physical channel in parallel.
本发明中接收多个业务的处理过程如图 5所示, 包括以下步驟: 步骤 501: UTRAN在 DCCH上向处于 CELL_DCH状态的 UE发送包括 业务标识、 原因等参数的 MBMS专用通知消息。 . The process of receiving multiple services in the present invention is as shown in FIG. 5, and includes the following steps: Step 501: The UTRAN sends the DCCH on the DCC to the UE in the CELL_DCH state. MBMS-specific notification message for parameters such as service identification, reason, etc. .
步骤 502 503:处于 CELL_DCH状态的 UE接收 MBMS专用通知消息, 并判断自身是否能同时接收新 MBMS业务和当前业务, 如果能接收, 则执 行步骤 507; 如果不能, 则执行步骤 504。 Step 502 503: The UE in the CELL_DCH state receives the MBMS dedicated notification message, and determines whether it can receive the new MBMS service and the current service at the same time. If yes, step 507 is performed; if not, step 504 is performed.
步骤 504〜506: UTRAN重新配置无线资源, 然后, UE再判断自身是否 能同时接收新 MBMS业务和当前业务, 如果能接收, 则执行步骤 507; 如果 不能, 则通知用户, 由用户在当前业务和 MBMS业务之间做出选择, 判断 是否接收新 MBMS业务, 如果用户决定接收该新 MBMS业务, 则执行步骤 507; 否则, 结束当前处理流程。 Steps 504-506: The UTRAN reconfigures the radio resource, and then the UE determines whether it can receive the new MBMS service and the current service at the same time. If it can receive, step 507 is performed; if not, the user is notified, the user is in the current service and A selection is made between the MBMS services to determine whether to receive the new MBMS service. If the user decides to receive the new MBMS service, step 507 is performed; otherwise, the current process flow is ended.
这里, 所述重新配置无线资源主要是指将 UE从 CELL— DCH状态迁移 到 CELL— FACH状态, 并将传输信道为专用信道的业务切换到公共信道。 Here, the reconfiguring the radio resource mainly refers to migrating the UE from the CELL-DCH state to the CELL-FACH state, and switching the service of the transport channel to the dedicated channel to the common channel.
步骤 507: UE将在预先定义的时间读 MCCH, 获得 MBMS业务信息和 MBMS无线承载信息, UE根据获得的 MBMS业务信息和 MBMS无线承载 信息开始接收数据。 Step 507: The UE will read the MCCH at a predefined time to obtain MBMS service information and MBMS radio bearer information, and the UE starts to receive data according to the obtained MBMS service information and MBMS radio bearer information.
在本发明的实现过程中, 步骤 504中所述重新配置无线资源有不同的实 现方案, 具体包括: 实施方案一: In the implementation process of the present invention, the reconfiguring the radio resources in the step 504 has different implementation schemes, and specifically includes: Embodiment 1:
当处于 CELL_DCH状态的 UE接收到 MBMS业务专用通知消息后 , 确 定自身无线接入能力不足, 无法同时接收当前业务和新 MBMS业务, 则通 知 UE 非接入层的无线资源管理功能实体, 由该无线资源管理功能实体和SGS 中的对等实体进行协商, 修改服务质量(QoS )参数, 详细过程如图 6所示: After receiving the MBMS service-specific notification message, the UE in the CELL_DCH state determines that the radio access capability of the UE is insufficient, and cannot receive the current service and the new MBMS service at the same time, and notifies the non-access stratum of the radio resource management function entity of the UE. The resource management function entity negotiates with the peer entity in SGS to modify the quality of service (QoS) parameters. The detailed process is shown in Figure 6:
步骤 601: UE向 SGSN发送修改 PDP上下文请求 Modify PDP Context Request Step 601: The UE sends a modify PDP context request to the SGSN. Modify PDP Context Request
步驟 602 603: SGSN收到请求后向 GGSN发送更新 PDP上下文请求 Update PDP Context Request, GGSN收到后回复更新 PDP上下文响应 Update PDP Context Response。 Step 602 603: The SGSN sends an update PDP context request to the GGSN after receiving the request. Update PDP Context Request, the GGSN receives the reply and updates the PDP context response Update PDP Context Response.
步骤 604〜605: SGSN收到^应后, 通过接入网 RAN与 UE交互对无线 接入承载进行修改, 修改完成后, SGSN向 UE发送修改 PDP上下文确认 Modify PDP Context Accept。 Steps 604 to 605: After receiving the response, the SGSN interacts with the UE through the access network RAN to modify the radio access bearer. After the modification is completed, the SGSN sends a Modify PDP Context Accept to the UE.
在图 6所示过程中, 修改 PDP上下文的请求消息会触发无线接入承载 的修改, 当该 UE需要接收的无线承载调整到该 UE的无线接入能力范围内 时, UE就可以同时接收当前业务和新 MBMS业务了。 这里, 所述的无线接 入承载修改完成的操作就是:将 UE从 CELL— DCH状态迁移到 CELL—FACH 状态, 并将传输信道为专用信道的业务切换到公共信道。 In the process shown in FIG. 6, the request message for modifying the PDP context triggers the modification of the radio access bearer. When the radio bearer that the UE needs to receive is adjusted to the radio access capability range of the UE, the UE can simultaneously receive the current Business and new MBMS business. Here, the operation of the wireless access bearer modification is to migrate the UE from the CELL-DCH state to the CELL-FACH state, and switch the service of the transport channel to the dedicated channel to the common channel.
如果 PDP 上下文爹改失败, 网络侧会发送修改 PDP 上下文拒绝消息 Modify PDP Context Reject给 UE; UE在收到 Modify PDP Context Accept消 息或 Modify PDP Context Reject消息后, 再次判断是否能同时接收当前业务 和新 MBMS业务, 即: 进入步骤 505。 实施方案二: If the PDP context tampering fails, the network side sends a Modify PDP Context Reject message to the UE. After receiving the Modify PDP Context Accept message or the Modify PDP Context Reject message, the UE determines whether it can receive the current service and the new one at the same time. The MBMS service, ie: proceeds to step 505. Implementation 2:
如图 7所示, 当处于 CELL一 DCH状态的 UE接收到 MBMS业务专用通 知消息后,确定自身无线接入能力不足,无法同时接收当前业务和新 MBMS 业务, 则发送 UE能力信息到 UTRAN, 触发网络侧对无线承载重配置。 As shown in FIG. 7, when the UE in the CELL-DCH state receives the MBMS service-specific notification message, it determines that its radio access capability is insufficient, and cannot receive the current service and the new MBMS service at the same time, and then sends the UE capability information to the UTRAN, triggering The network side reconfigures the radio bearer.
步骤 701~704: 利用 UE能力信息 (Capability Information )过程通知网 络设备该 UE的 MBMS能力信息, 具体就是: UE向无线接入网 RAN发送 UE能力信息。 如果网絡设备认为可以重配置该 UE使用的无线资源, 则通 过无线承载重配置( Radio Bearer Reconfiguration )过程重新配置无线资源。 如果 UE 在无线资源重新配置完成后, 无线接入能力可以并行接收包括 MBMS业务信道在内的重配置后的信道, 则 UE就开始接收 MBMS业务; 否则, 上报给用户, 由用户做出选择。 这里, 所述 UE能力信息过程、 无线 承载重配置过程如何实现属于现有技术。 Steps 701-704: The UE capability information (Capability Information) process is used to notify the network device of the MBMS capability information of the UE. Specifically, the UE sends the UE capability information to the radio access network RAN. If the network device considers that the radio resource used by the UE can be reconfigured, the radio resource is reconfigured through a Radio Bearer Reconfiguration procedure. If the radio access capability of the UE can receive the reconfigured channel including the MBMS service channel in parallel after the radio resource reconfiguration is completed, the UE starts to receive the MBMS service; otherwise, it reports to the user, and the user makes a selection. Here, the UE capability information procedure, wireless How the bearer reconfiguration process is implemented belongs to the prior art.
这里, 所述重新配置无线资源具体就是: 将 UE从 CELL_DCH状态迁 移到 CELL—FACH状态, 并将传输信道为专用信道的业务切换到公共信道, 例如: 可以将下行传输信道由 DCH切换到 FACH。 实施方案三: Here, the reconfiguring the radio resource is specifically: moving the UE from the CELL_DCH state to the CELL_FACH state, and switching the service of the transport channel to the dedicated channel to the common channel, for example: the downlink transport channel can be switched from the DCH to the FACH. Implementation III:
实施方案二中所述的重新配置无线资源的实现过程,也可以由传输新到 重配置 ( Transport Channel Reconfiguration )过程来冗成。 The process of reconfiguring the radio resources described in Embodiment 2 can also be redundantly performed by the Transport Channel Reconfiguration process.
该方案引入新的消息无线承载重配置请求 Radio Bearer Reconfiguration Request, 用于 UE请求网络设备重新配置无线资源。 该消息指示因为 UE无 线接入能力不足请求重新调整无线资源并说明原因, 例如: 由于不能并行接 收一条专用物理信道和一条辅助的公共物理信道。 The solution introduces a new message radio bearer reconfiguration request, which is used by the UE to request the network device to reconfigure the radio resource. The message indicates that the radio resource is re-adjusted and the reason is explained because the UE has insufficient radio access capability, for example: a dedicated physical channel and an auxiliary common physical channel cannot be received in parallel.
如图 8中步骤 801 803所示,UE向接入网 RAN发送无线承载重配置请 求, RAN与 UE之间通过无线承载重配置 ( Radio Bearer Reconfiguration )过 程重新配置无线资源, 例如: 可以将下行传输信道由 DCH切换到 FACH。 如果 UE 在无线资源重新配置完成后, 无线接入能力可以并行接收包括 MBMS业务信道在内的重配置后的信道, 则 UE就开始接收 MBMS业务; 否则, 上报给用户, 由用户做出选择。 As shown in step 801 803 of FIG. 8, the UE sends a radio bearer reconfiguration request to the access network RAN, and the RAN and the UE reconfigure the radio resource by using a radio bearer reconfiguration procedure, for example, the downlink transmission may be performed. The channel is switched from DCH to FACH. If the radio access capability can receive the reconfigured channel including the MBMS traffic channel in parallel after the radio resource reconfiguration is completed, the UE starts to receive the MBMS service; otherwise, it reports to the user, and the user makes a selection.
本发明引入重新配置无线资源的步驟后,接收多个业务处理的方案就变 为: After the step of reconfiguring the radio resource is introduced in the present invention, the solution for receiving multiple service processes becomes:
对于用户加入 MBMS业务后该业务的会话开始过程启动的情况, 处理 过程是: For the case where the session start process of the service starts after the user joins the MBMS service, the process is:
在会话开始过程中, 当 UTRAN 决定建立点到多点的无线承载时, UTRAN在专用信令信道上发送 MBMS专用通知消息,告知当前没有接收使 用 PTM模式传送的 MBMS业务的 CELL— DCH状态的 UE; 不能并行接收 MBMS业务和已经存在业务接收的 CELL_DCH状态的 UE收到该通知消息 后, 与网絡协商重新配置无线资源; 如果重新配置无线资源后.仍然不能并行 接收或重新配置无线资源失败, 则通知用户, 由用户在正在进行的业务和新During the start of the session, when the UTRAN decides to establish a point-to-multipoint radio bearer, the UTRAN sends an MBMS-specific notification message on the dedicated signaling channel to inform the UE that does not currently receive the CELL-DCH state of the MBMS service transmitted using the PTM mode. The UE that cannot receive the MBMS service in parallel and the CELL_DCH state of the already received service receives the notification message. After that, re-configure the radio resource with the network; if the radio resource fails to receive or reconfigure in parallel after reconfiguring the radio resource, notify the user that the user is in the ongoing service and new
MBMS业务之间做出选择; 如果用户决定接收新 MBMS业务, UE将在预 定的时间读取 MCCH获得 MBMS控制信息; UE根据接收到的控制信息开 始接收 MBMS业务。 A selection is made between the MBMS services; if the user decides to receive the new MBMS service, the UE will read the MCCH to obtain the MBMS control information at a predetermined time; the UE starts to receive the MBMS service according to the received control information.
对于用户在 MBMS业务的会话进行中加入该业务的情况, 如果一个使 用 PTM传输模式的会话正在进行中, 用户加入过程完成后, UE发起 PTM 无线承载的接收; 如果正在进行中的会话使用的是 PTP传输模式, UTRAN 建立 PTP无线承载。 一般, 会话中加入 MBMS业务的过程包括以下步驟: a'. Idle模式的 UE 首先执行 RRC 连接建立的过程; CELL— PCH和 U A_PCH状态的 UE首先执行小区更新过程。 For the case where the user joins the service in the session of the MBMS service, if a session using the PTM transmission mode is in progress, after the user join process is completed, the UE initiates reception of the PTM radio bearer; if the ongoing session is used In the PTP transmission mode, the UTRAN establishes a PTP radio bearer. Generally, the process of adding an MBMS service in a session includes the following steps: a. The UE in the Idle mode first performs an RRC connection establishment process; the UE in the CELL-PCH and U A_PCH states first performs a cell update process.
b,. UE发起 NAS加入过程。 b,. The UE initiates the NAS join process.
c,. SGSN通知 UTRAN—个 UE加入了某个 MBMS业务, UTRAN判断 该业务采用的传输模式: c,. The SGSN informs the UTRAN that a UE has joined a certain MBMS service, and the UTRAN determines the transmission mode used by the service:
cl,. 如果继续使用 PTM传输模式: Cl,. If you continue to use PTM transfer mode:
ell'. UTRAN在 DCCH上发送包括业务标识、 原因等参数的 MBMS专 用通知消息, 通知 CELL— DCH状态的 UE , 其中原因可以是会话进行中等。 The ell'. UTRAN sends an MBMS special notification message including parameters such as service identifier and cause on the DCCH to notify the UE in the CELL_DCH state, wherein the reason may be that the session is medium.
cl2,〜cl4,.接收到 MBMS专用通知消息的 CELL— DCH状态的 UE, 如 果能同时接收 MBMS业务和当前业务, 则执行步骤 cl5,; 如果不能同时接 收 MBMS业务和当前业务, 则与网络协商重新配置无线资源, 如果重新配 置无线资源后能同时接收 MBMS业务和当前业务, 则执行步骤 cl5,; 如果 重新配置无线资源后仍然不能并行接收或重新配置无线资源失败, 则通知用 户, 由用户在当前业务和 MBMS业务之间做出选择; 如果用户决定接收该 新 MBMS业务, 则执行步骤 cl5,; 否则, 结束当前处理流程。 Cl2, ~cl4,. The CELL-DCH state UE that receives the MBMS-specific notification message, if it can receive the MBMS service and the current service at the same time, perform step cl5; if it cannot simultaneously receive the MBMS service and the current service, negotiate with the network Reconfigure the radio resource. If the MBMS service and the current service can be received at the same time after reconfiguring the radio resource, perform step cl5. If the radio resource fails to receive or reconfigure the radio resource in parallel after reconfiguring the radio resource, notify the user that the user is A choice is made between the current service and the MBMS service; if the user decides to receive the new MBMS service, step cl5 is performed; otherwise, the current process flow is ended.
这里, 所述与网络协商重新配置无线资源具体是: 将 UE从 CELL—DCH 状态迁移到 CELL_FACH状态,并将传输信道为专用信道的业务切换到公共 信道。 Here, the reconfiguring the radio resource with the network is specifically: moving the UE from the CELL_DCH state to the CELL_FACH state, and switching the service of the transport channel to the dedicated channel to the public. channel.
cl5,. UE将在预先定义的时间读取 MCCH, 获得 MBMS 业务信息和 MBMS无线承载信息, 之后, UE根据获得的 MBMS业务信息和 MBMS无 线承载信息开始接收 PTM无线承载。 Cl5,. The UE will read the MCCH at a predefined time to obtain the MBMS service information and the MBMS radio bearer information. Thereafter, the UE starts to receive the PTM radio bearer according to the obtained MBMS service information and the MBMS radio bearer information.
c2,. 如果继续使用 PTP传输模式, 则 UTRAN和 UE通过适当的 RRC 过程建立 PTP无线承载, 具体处理流程与 cl,中的步骤类似。 C2,. If the PTP transmission mode is continued, the UTRAN and the UE establish a PTP radio bearer through an appropriate RRC procedure, and the specific processing procedure is similar to the procedure in cl.
