Description

 Method, device and system for transmitting/receiving access probability factor information

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) statistical technique, and more particularly to a method, apparatus, and system for transmitting/receiving Access Probability Factor (PF) information. BACKGROUND With the rapid development of the Internet and the popularization of large-screen multi-function mobile phones, a large number of mobile data multimedia services and various high-bandwidth multimedia services such as video conferencing, television broadcasting, video on demand, video advertising, online education, and interactive games have emerged. Wait. These mobile data multimedia services and various high-bandwidth multimedia services not only meet the rising business demands of mobile users, but also bring new business growth points to mobile operators. These mobile data multimedia services and various high-bandwidth multimedia services require multiple users to receive the same data at the same time, and have the characteristics of large data volume, long duration, and delay sensitivity compared with general data services.

 In order to effectively utilize mobile network resources, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) proposes MBMS, which is a technology that transmits data from one data source to multiple targets, and implements the network (including the core). Network and access network) Sharing of resources increases the utilization of network resources (especially air interface resources). The MBMS service defined by 3GPP can not only realize plain text low-rate message class multicast and broadcast, but also realize high-speed multimedia service broadcast and multicast, and provide a variety of rich video, audio and multimedia services, which undoubtedly conforms to future mobile The trend of data development provides a better business prospect for the development of third-generation (3G, 3rd Generation) digital communications.

In the MBMS technology, there is an MBMS statistical mechanism for the network side to collect the reception status of a certain MBMS service on the user equipment (UE, User Equipment) side, where a certain MBMS service is called a statistical MBMS service. In the MBMS statistics process of the existing mechanism, the MBMS statistics information is calculated by the MBMS service information and PF information, and other information. It is constructed (refer to the 3GPP 25.331 protocol), and the information is sent to the UE together in one information unit. For example, in the 3GPP 25.331 protocol, the counted MBMS service information and PF information and other information are simultaneously carried in an information unit such as MBMS Access Information, and the information unit passes through a multicast control channel (MCCH, Multicast Control Channel) is sent to the UE.

In the MBMS statistics, the setting of the PF information is mainly to prevent a large number of UEs from participating in the statistics of the MBMS service at the same time, which causes the uplink resources to be tight. The PF information is a value, which can finally reflect a value between 0 and 1 (depending on the specific conversion method of the PF information value). For example, the integer specified in 3GPP 25.331 is from 0, and the interval is 32. , up to 960, plus a total of 32 values of 1000, one for each network side. For example, if the given integer is A, then a value between 0 and 1 is obtained by converting ² - ^{( /ιω)} ; if the given integer is C, the UE that needs to participate in the feedback randomly generates a value between 0 and 1. The value is assumed to be Β. If Β is less than C, then the UE continues to complete the feedback, otherwise no feedback is performed during the access period. The use of more detailed PF information can be described in the existing protocol 3GPP 25.331. It can be seen that the PF information is actually a threshold. When the value generated by the UE is less than the threshold, feedback is performed during the access period. Otherwise, no feedback is performed during the access period. In general, in an MBMS statistics process, PF information needs to be sent multiple times, and each PF information may be different. Therefore, PF information belongs to information that changes faster.

 In 3GPP 25.331, the MCCH mechanism allows partial information to be updated during the MCCH modification period. For example, the MBMS Access Information in the MCCH is allowed to be updated. In practice, the PF information in the MBMS Access Information has changed. In this way, the existing mechanism can meet the requirement of fast update of PF information, so MBMS statistics and PF information can be placed together and sent in the MCCH.

However, in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the current MCCH regulations are different from those in 3GPP 25.331. In LTE, the MCCH cannot be updated in an MCCH modification period. Thus, if the PF information is also carried. The PF information cannot be changed in an MCCH modification period, and the PF information change period is much smaller than the MCCH modification period. Therefore, in LTE, PF information can no longer be sent through the MCCH, that is, Said that the existing method of sending PF information has been in LTE Not applicable. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a method, apparatus, and system for transmitting/receiving MBMS statistical information that can be applied to an LTE system.

Here, an example in which the bits in the DCI 1C format are used to represent the PF information and the MBMS service information to be counted is taken as an example.

 It should be noted that, in the LTE system, the number of bits in the DCI 1C format is related to the bandwidth of the system, that is, the larger the bandwidth, the more bits in the DCI 1C format.

 Assume that the PF information has 32 values to choose from, and the corresponding use of 5 bits to represent the 32 bit representations is shown in Table 1.

For the MBMS service information, the value corresponding to the 3 bit can be used to represent the index of the MBMS service sequence list in the statistics message. In this case, a PF information can be configured for one MBMS service.

 It is also possible to use 8 bits to describe the session ID of the MBMS service information being counted.
