Description

Method and device for transmitting multicast service

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for transmitting a multicast service.

Background

Multimedia broadcast multicast service (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service, MBMS) has long existed in the fourth generation mobile communication 4G technology as an important service type in the third generation mobile communication (the 3th generation mobile communication,3G). However, only unicast service is supported in the initial stage of the New air interface (NR) of the fifth generation mobile communication (the 5th generation mobile communication,5G), and in view of the importance of the MBMS in the fields of internet of vehicles, public security, etc., the MBMS is also newly added in the development process in 5G, which is called as multicast broadcast service (Multicast and Broadcast Service, MBS).

Multicast broadcast services MBS are generally classified into multicast services (multicast) and broadcast services (broadcast), which are also called multicast services. Among them, a terminal (UE) in any radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) state can receive a broadcast service. And multicast traffic only supports UE reception in RRC connected state.

However, when the UE is in the RRC non-connected state (RRC inactive state or RRC idle state), the continuity and reliability of receiving the multicast service cannot be guaranteed in many scenarios, which is also a technical problem to be solved in the art.

Detailed Description

In the embodiment of the application, the term "and/or" describes the association relation of the association objects, which means that three relations can exist, for example, a and/or B can be expressed as follows: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. The character "/" generally indicates that the context-dependent object is an "or" relationship.

The term "plurality" in embodiments of the present application means two or more, and other adjectives are similar.

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments, but not all embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a method for transmitting a multicast service according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method can be applied to a terminal, as shown in fig. 1, and the method includes the following steps:

step 100, in an RRC non-connected state, performing a setting operation when receiving service data of a multicast service, where the setting operation includes one or more of measuring RSRP of a serving cell, measuring BLER of the multicast service being received, measuring a duration of receiving the multicast service in the RRC non-connected state, and performing cell reselection;

and step 101, triggering to enter an RRC connection state from the RRC non-connection state and continuously receiving service data of the multicast service under the condition that an operation result meets a preset condition.

In particular, it is necessary that most of the related art support the terminal UE to receive the multicast service in the RRC connected state, and support the terminal UE to receive the multicast service in the RRC disconnected state. However, when the terminal UE is in the RRC non-connected state, there is no uplink synchronization between the terminal UE and the network device, and the corresponding uplink feedback information cannot be sent to the network device, and the terminal cannot be informed of the current state of receiving the multicast service by using, for example, a hybrid automatic repeat request (Hybrid Automatic Repeat request, HARQ) feedback manner commonly used in the RRC connected state, and accurate time protocol (Precision Time Protocol, PTP) transmission, and the network device cannot know whether the terminal is currently lost, so that the reliability of the multicast service cannot be guaranteed when the terminal UE performs the multicast service in the RRC non-connected state. The RRC non-connected state includes an RRC non-active state or an RRC idle state.

On the basis, the method for transmitting the multicast service provided by the application is provided, when the terminal is in the RRC non-connection state in configuration to receive the multicast service, the terminal enters the RRC connection state to receive the multicast service under the condition that the corresponding condition is met, so as to ensure the continuity of the reception of the data of the multicast service.

The terminal is receiving the multicast service in the non-connected state, and performs related measurement operations, and performs cell reselection operations, where the related measurement operations specifically include measurement of reference signal received power (Reference Signal Receiving Power, RSRP) of the serving cell, measurement of Block Error Rate (BLER) of the multicast service being received, measurement of duration of receiving the multicast service in the RRC non-connected state, and the like. And triggering the terminal to switch to the RRC connection state to continuously receive the multicast service when the result obtained by the operation meets the preset condition.

The preset condition may be related information including configuration preset conditions sent by the network device or a corresponding preset condition is preset at the terminal side.

If the terminal meets the preset condition, entering an RRC connection state to continuously receive the multicast service which is carried out in the RRC non-connection state before. The specific mode of the terminal entering the RRC Connection state can be through triggering the establishment of a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Connection process or the recovery of a Radio Resource Control (RRC) resource process; the specific mode adopted can be determined based on the RRC state of the terminal, and if the state of the terminal is in the RRC inactive state, the connection recovery process is triggered in the current cell; and if the current state of the terminal is the RRC idle state, triggering the connection establishment process in the current cell.

According to the transmission method of the multicast service, provided by the embodiment of the application, the UE is switched from the RRC non-connection state to the RRC connection state by configuring the information for triggering the terminal to update the RRC state, so that the multicast service is continuously received, and the reliability and the continuity of the terminal for receiving the multicast service are ensured.

Specifically, under the condition that the preset condition is met, the terminal enters an RRC connection state to continuously receive the multicast service received by the terminal in an RRC non-connection state.

The preset conditions specifically include one or more of the following:

1. the measured value of the RSRP of the terminal to the serving cell is smaller than a first threshold value;

2. the terminal measuring the BLER of the multicast traffic being received less than a second threshold;

3. The measured value of the time length of the terminal for receiving the multicast service in the RRC non-connection state is larger than the first time length;

4. the target cell of the terminal performing cell reselection is not in the specified cell list.

In order to avoid the situations of interruption or too many data packet loss of the ongoing multicast service of the terminal, the first item is that when the first measured value of the RSRP of the current cell served by the terminal is smaller than the first threshold value, it is determined that the resources allocated by the terminal are insufficient to meet the requirement of the ongoing multicast service, the terminal needs to be triggered to enter an RRC connection state, so that the network device adjusts the resources allocated to the device, and timely obtains the information such as the quality of service of the ongoing multicast service of the terminal.

The second term is to count the block error rate of the data packet of the multicast service in progress by the terminal, if the block error rate is higher, the current network state of the terminal may not meet the requirement of the multicast service, so that the terminal needs to be triggered to enter an RRC connected state, so that the network device adjusts the resources allocated to the device, and timely obtains the information such as the quality of service of the multicast service in progress by the terminal.

The third item is to perform time monitoring on the multicast service which is being performed by the terminal alone or uniformly, so that each multicast service can be independently timed, and all the multicast services which are performed by the terminal can be uniformly timed, thereby being convenient to manage.

The fourth item is a way of guaranteeing continuity of multicast service of the terminal in a mobile state, determining a cell list, when the terminal moves between the cells, the current RRC state of the terminal is not required to be changed, and the multicast service is continuously received, so that continuity and reliability of the multicast service are guaranteed, network resources are saved, unnecessary signaling interaction is reduced, and the like. Of course, when the terminal moves to a cell outside the cell list, if the terminal performs cell reselection in the moving state, the target cell possibly determined finally is not in the cell list, the terminal triggers a process of establishing connection or recovering connection in the current cell; or whether the terminal performs the cell reselection of the target cell or is in the cell list, the process of establishing connection or recovering connection is directly triggered in the target cell; the terminal is enabled to carry out the RRC connection state and continue to receive the multicast service which is received by the terminal in the RRC non-connection state.

Optionally, the method further comprises:

Specifically, the preset condition may be preconfigured on the terminal side or determined according to information sent by the network device. Under the condition that the preset condition is determined by the information sent by the network equipment, the terminal receives first information sent by the network equipment, wherein the first information comprises the preset condition, and the preset condition comprises: one or more of a first threshold value of RSRP, a second threshold value of BLER of multicast traffic, a first duration, and a specified cell list;

the appointed cell list comprises a plurality of cells which keep the current state of the terminal and continuously receive the multicast service; the first duration is a duration of the terminal performing the designated multicast service.

In particular, the first information received by the terminal may include any one or more of a first threshold value of RSRP, a second threshold value of BLER of the multicast service, a first duration of the multicast service, and a specified cell list.

The first threshold value of RSRP mainly considers that the RSRP of the cell currently providing service for the terminal may have poor signals, which is easy to cause the data loss of the multicast service being received, so in order to ensure the continuity of the multicast service, the terminal is triggered to enter the RRC connection state to continuously receive the data of the multicast service.

The second threshold value of the block error rate BLER of the multicast service mainly considers the percentage of the error block in all the transmitted blocks of the multicast service in progress by the terminal, and this parameter can also reflect the receiving quality of the multicast service data currently in progress by the terminal. If the BLER value is smaller, the corresponding wireless resource for carrying out the multicast service may not meet the requirement of the multicast service, and the terminal is required to enter an RRC connection state, so that the network side can timely acquire the data transmission state of the terminal for carrying out the multicast service, and the switching is timely carried out under the condition of packet loss or block error rate.

The first duration of the multicast service is the duration of the terminal for designating the multicast service, wherein there may be a plurality of multicast services, and each multicast service is configured with a duration limit separately. Or configuring a duration time for all the multicast services, and uniformly monitoring all the multicast services. The terminal may be limited to be capable of performing the corresponding multicast service within a fixed time period or a periodic time period by configuring a timer.

The appointed cell list is a set of a plurality of cells which are preconfigured and keep the current state of the terminal to continuously receive the multicast service, so that the terminal is ensured to be in a mobile condition, if the terminal is in the appointed cell list, the corresponding connection restoration or connection establishment process is not required to be triggered, the consumption of signaling and resources is reduced, and limited network resources are utilized more effectively.

Specifically, the preset conditions may be configured uniformly according to different multicast services or configured individually for each different multicast service.

Under the condition that corresponding preset conditions are configured for each different multicast service independently, the terminal can determine that the determined first threshold value is different, the second threshold value is different, the first duration is different or the cells contained in the appointed cell list are different for the different multicast services according to the corresponding configuration;

Or under the condition of uniformly configuring preset conditions for different multicast services, the terminal can determine that the determined first threshold value is the same, the determined second threshold value is the same, the determined first duration is the same, or the determined cells contained in the specified cell list are the same for the different multicast services according to the corresponding configuration.

Of course, a hybrid mode can also be adopted, part of multicast services adopt unified configuration corresponding to the first preset condition, and part of multicast services adopt independent configuration corresponding to the second preset condition; the first preset condition and the second preset condition are different.

Specifically, the terminal may transmit the first information through a dedicated channel and transmit the first information by using dedicated RRC signaling; or over a common channel and transmitted using a common RRC message, such as a master message block (Master Information Block, MIB), a system information block (System Information Block, SIB), etc. in a system message.

The following describes a transmission method of a multicast service according to an embodiment of the present application with a specific example.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of an implementation of a method for transmitting a multicast service according to an embodiment of the present application.

step 306: the base station acquires the context information of the ongoing multicast service of the UE, and configures the configuration for receiving the multicast service in the RRC connection state to the UE according to the context information;

step 307: the terminal UE continues to receive the multicast service data in the RRC connected state.

Fig. 4 is a third embodiment of a flow chart of a transmission method of a multicast service according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the UE in the inactive state is receiving multicast service, and enters the connected state to continue receiving multicast service when moving out of the specified cell list provided by the network:

step 401: when moving out of the appointed cell list, executing the measurement and evaluation process of cell reselection;
