Technical field
The present invention relates to the multimedia broadcasting and multicast technology, particularly relate to a kind of paging method and system of multimedia broadcast-multicast service.
Background technology
In order to effectively utilize mobile network resource, 3GPP has proposed multimedia multicast broadcasting service (Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service, MBMS), in the mobile network, provide a data source to send the point-to-multipoint service of data to a plurality of users, the realization Internet resources are shared, improve utilization rate of network resource, the utilance of the interface resource of especially eating dishes without rice or wine.MBMS provides dual mode: broadcast mode and multicast mode.MBMS can not only realize the classes of messages multicast and the broadcasting of plain text low rate, and can also realize the multicast and the broadcasting of high-speed multimedia business.
3GPP stipulates have two class sub-districts can be used for carrying the MBMS business to the sub-district of carrying MBMS business:
1, uses the sub-district of specific frequency layer, only carry the MBMS business in this sub-district, be called the MBMS special carrier.
2, common sub-district, MBMS is professional, and (as speech business) is carried on the identical carrier wave jointly with general service, is called the MBMS/Unicast mixed carrier.
At present, 3GPP has designed paging at the general service on the Unicast mixed carrier, and its principle is:
1, beep-page message is mapped on the DSCH Downlink Shared Channel, by being designated Paging Control Channel-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (Paging Control Channel-Radio NetworkTemporary Identity on the shared control channel, PCCH-RNTI or P-RNTI) the notice dial gauge be shown in whether there is beep-page message in this paging cycle, the employed resource of this beep-page message is provided by the dispatch on the same shared control channel.
2, the transmission of dispatch and beep-page message is positioned at same subframe.
3, subscriber equipment (UE) detects discontinuous reception in each paging (Discontinuous Receive DRX) in the cycle, only monitors a subframe.
Fig. 1 is the frame structure schematic diagram when sending the general service beep-page message.As shown in Figure 1, in the shared control channel of subframe 1, send the notice indication and the dispatch of general service beep-page message, comprised the shared resource of general service beep-page message in this dispatch.In the DSCH Downlink Shared Channel of same subframe, send the beep-page message that has carried the general service announcement information.Indication judges whether to exist beep-page message to subscriber equipment according to notice, if exist, then obtains beep-page message according to the resource of dispatch indication in DSCH Downlink Shared Channel.
