目前无线通信***都定义組播广播业务,即向所有订阅用户或者一組订 阅用户发送的业务。而基站在空中接口发送组播广播业务时,可以灵活根据 当前基站下用户数来决定采用单播或组播广播连接承载。
以 WiMAX ( Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, 全球微波 接入互操作性)无线通信***为例, 在 WiMAX Forum ( WiMAX论坛) 的 需求工作组 SPWG中定义 MCBCS (组播广播业务), 在 IEEE802.16e-2005 中则定义空中的 MBS (组播广播业务) 。 SPWG定义的 MCBCS指的是节 目的业务类型,即该节目是组播广播业务类型;而 IEEE802.16e-2005的 MBS 则定义的是节目空口的承载方式, 即采用组播广播业务承载方式。首先只有 某种节目被定义为 MCBCS业务, 才有可能在空口采用 MBS承载方式; 另 夕卜, 即使某种节目被定义为 MCBCS业务, ASN (接入业务网)仍可以根据 每个 BS (基站)下接收该 MCBCS节目的用户多少来决定在该基站下采用 组播广播连接传输还是采用单播连接来传输。通常,可以预先设定一个门限 值, 当基站下接收该 MCBCS节目的用户数目超过一定门限, 则采用组播广 播连接传输, 否则采用单播连接传输。
目前 WiMAX的组播广播架构标准正在制定中,但基本的功能实体已经 定义。

图 5是本发明中用户通过 MCC Management触发建立多方会议电话承载 的流程示意图。
本发明的较佳实施方式
为方便起见, 以下将多方语音和视频电话会议简称为多方电话会议。 多方语音和视频电话会议的特征之一就是接收用户可以是相隔很远的 少数用户,也可以是一栋大楼里的很多用户, 这个特点符合无线通信***里 组播广播业务的特征,因此在高速无线通信***里完全可以采用組播广播业 务来实现多方语音视频电话会议。
本发明提供了一种无线通信***中实现多方电话会议的***,在无线通 信***网络侧, 在其组播广播业务的架构上, 新增两个功能实体, 多方电话 会议管理( Multi-Part Conference Call Management, 简称 MCC Management ) 称 MCC Content Provider ) , 用于在现有无线通信的组播广播业务基础上提 供多方电话会议业务。
在终端增加多方电话会议客户端( Multi-Part Conferenc Call Client, 简称 MCC Client ) , 用于参加多方电话会议, 上传和接收多方电话会议的内容。
下面以 WiMAX***为例,说明在 WiMAX的 MCBCS业务上如何实现 多方电话会议。 WiMAX***通过位于 CSN(Connect Service Network, 连接服务网) 的 MCBCS Controller (组播广播业务控制器)、 MCBCS Content Sever (组播广 播内容服务器)和组播广播内容提供者实现组播广播业务。组播广播内容提 供者为组播广播内容服务器提供组播广播业务来源。组播广播内容提供者既 可以位于 CSN, 也可以由第三方来提供。
对于多方电话会议而言, 则在现有组播广播业务的架构上, 新增 MCC Management以及 MCC Content Provider来完成多方电话会议这种组播广播 业务。新增的 MCC Management以及 MCC Content Provider既可以位于 CSN, 也可以位于 ASP (应用服务提供商) ; 如果位于 ASP则表明完全由第三方 来提供多方电话会议业务。
下面描述仅仅针对 MCC Management和 MCC Content Provider位于 CSN 情形,但他们的原理与 MCC Management和 MCC Content Provider位于 ASP 时的原理完全一样。
如图 1 所示, 在网络侧新增 MCC Management 以及 MCC Content Provider, 在终端侧新增 MCC Client, 利用原来的组播广播架构一起完成多 方电话 ^义功能。
新增功能实体 MCC Management负责维护一个多方电话会议的创建、释 放、删除、 多方电话会议时间管理以及多方电话会议组用户管理。 多方电话 会议时间管理包括多方电话会议的开始时间以及结束时间,多方电话会议组 用户管理包括激活用户的维护和非激活用户的维护。 多方电话会议一旦创 建, 包括多方电话会议正在进行的时候,都可以进行多方电话会议的时间管 理以及组用户管理。多方电话会议一旦释放或者删除,该多方电话会议涉及 的时间以及组用户管理信息也就可以释放了。
新增的功能实体 MCC Content Provider用于将参加多方电话会议的激活 用户上行的内容, 包括语音、视频或多媒体信息, 合并为一个下行的组播广 播业务的节目,作为组播广播业务源提供给组播广播内容服务器,组播广播 内容服务器再将该组播广播节目发送到用户终端的 MCC Client。在一般的组 播广播业务中, 内容源来自组播广播业务内容提供者, 而多方电话会议的内 容源来自 MCC Content Provider„ MCC Content Provider的内容是来自参加多 方电话会议的激活用户上行的内容, 包括语音、视频和多媒体信息中的一种 或其组合。 新增功能实体 MCC Content Provider也可以作为组播广播内容服 务器的一个功能模块而存在。
终端新增的功能实体 MCC Client可以完成如下一个或多个功能: 可以 用来接收 MCC Management分配的终端用户类型; 如果终端用户是激活用 户, MCC Client可以用于触发建立从终端到 MCC Content Provider之间的上 行链接,从而激活用户能够通过多方电话会议客户端将自己的语音、视频和 多媒体信息上传到 MCC Content Provider; 还用于接收组播广播内容服务器 发送的多方电话会议的组播广播节目。 如果终端是激活用户,在接收下行内 容时, MCC Client可以过滤掉自己上传的那部分内容。 MCC Client还可以用 于终端发起创建多方电话会议请求;还可以用于终端主动发起退出多方电话 会议等。
本发明提供一种无线通信***实现多方语音和视频电话会议的方法,如 图 2所示, 主要包含以下步驟:
110, 用户或 MCC Management触发创建一个多方电话会议;
多方电话 ^义将用户分为两大类, 即激活用户和非激活用户, 两类用户 都可以接收多方电话会议下行的内容,但激活用户在多方电话会议过程中可 以上传自己的语音、 视频或多媒体信息到 MCC Content Provider, 而非激活 用户却不能把自己的语音、视频或多媒体信息上传到 MCC Content Provider。 对多方电话会议, 激活用户总是存在的, 非激活用户不是必须的。
多方电话会议类型可以分为两类, 第一类是开放式多方电话会议, 第二 类是具有组管理特征的多方电话会议。
如果用户创建的是开放式多方电话会议,则创建时可以指定参加多方电 话会议的最大用户数目, 而不用区分用户的类型, 即不用区分用户是激活用 户还是非激活用户, 此时参加多方电话会议的用户都是激活用户, 都可以把 自己的语音、 视频或多媒体信息上传到 MCC Content Provider。
如果用户创建的是具有组管理特征的多方电话会议,则要将用户区分为 激活用户或非激活用户。创建具有组管理特征的多方电话会议,创建时可以 指定如下一种或多种信息: 可以限定激活用户的数目, 激活用户的标识, 可 以限定非激活用户的数目, 非激活用户标识; 可以动态改变用户类型, 即会 议过程中用户可以在激活用户和非激活用户之间互相转换。
用户创建多方电话会议时, 至少应包含电话会议的开始和结束时间; 还 可以包含创建的多方电话会议的类型, 即开放式类型或组管理类型。
120, 多方电话会议开始, 各参与用户加入多方电话会议, 激活用户的 多方电话会议客户端 MCC Client触发建立用户终端到多方电话会议内容提 供者 MCC Content Provider的连接;
在一般的组播广播业务中, 需要对加入的组播用户进行鉴权和授权, 而 对具有组管理特征的多方电话会议在进行一般組播广播业务的鉴权和授权 之前,还需要由 MCC Management多方电话会议组用户管理对用户进行鉴权 和授权。
用户在加入多方电话会议时,对具有组管理特征的多方电话会议, 首先 经过 MCC Management鉴权授权这一步骤, 如果判断用户为合法用户, 则 MCC Management会将用户类型通知用户终端的 MCC Client。如果为激活用 户, MCC Client会触发建立从用户终端到 MCC Content Provider的连接, 允 许用户终端把自己的语音、视频或多媒体信息上传到 MCC Content Provider; 如果是非激活用户, 则不会建立终端到 MCC Content Provider的连接。
通过 MCC Management鉴权和授权后,还需要进行组播广播业务的鉴权 和授权。
130, 多方电话会议的激活用户实时上传自己的会议内容, 例如语音、 视频或多媒体信息到 MCC Content Provider;
140, MCC Content Provider将激活用户上传的 义内容 (即语音、视频 或多媒体信息)合并为组播广播节目,作为组播广播业务源提供给组播广播 内容服务器;
MCC Content Provider可以实时地进行合并, 或周期性地合并激活用户 上传的会议内容,将其发送给组播广播内容服务器。周期性合并可以按照以 帧为单位对激活用户上传的内容进行合并。
无论用户或网络侧触发的多方电话会议, MCC Content Provider都需要 对激活用户上行的内容合并,成为多方电话会议的組播广播下行节目。在合 并过程中,考虑两种模式, 第一种模式需要考虑激活用户要能够从下行组播 广播节目中过滤自己上行的内容,因此在这种模式的合并中需要考虑采取措 施在合并节目中能够标识出激活用户的标识以及激活用户上行的内容;第二 种模式则无需考虑这种情形,不加任何与用户相关的标识,只是进行上行内 容的合并。
要实现第一种模式, 有两种合并方法:
方法 1: MCC Content Provider在进行激活用户上行内容合并时, 对每 一个激活用户的上行内容打上组播广播组里唯一表示该用户的用户标识,用 户标识可以为移动终端标识(MS— ID ),或者为 MCC Management在进行组 用户管理时为用户分配的用户标识。激活用户在接收多方电话会议下行组播 广播业务时, MCC Client会过滤掉携带自己的用户标识的那部分内容。
方法 2: MCC Management为每一个激活用户的上行内容预先分配一个 标记 MBS Content ID (组播广播内容标识)。 用户在加入接收下行組播广播 业务中, 当在空口 DSA ( Dynamic Service Addition,动态业务添加 )过程时, 对于激活用户,不要带自己上行内容对应分配的 MBS Content ID。这样激活 用户在接收组播业务时, 就不会接收 MBS DATA (组播广播数据) 中自己 上行的那部分内容。
具体说明如下, 根据 802.16e-2005协议, 在 Extended— MBS— DATA— IE (扩展组播广播数据信息元素)的同一个 Multicast CID (组播链接标识)中, MBS Content ID与 Logical CID (逻辑链接标识)——对应, 而基站 BS分配 的 MBS PDU (组播广播协议数据单元)顺序和 Multicast CID和 Logical CID 組合顺序对应, 如果激活用户的 DSA过程中缺少了自己上行内容对应分配 的 MBS Content ID,接收组播广播业务时就不接收自己上传的那部分内容对 应的 MBS PDU。
150, 组播广播内容服务器将 MCC Content Provider提供的多方电话会 议的组播广播节目传送到基站,基站传送该组播广播节目至多方电话会议的 用户;
基站传送多方电话会议的组播广播节目时,可以采用单播承载,也可以 直接采用组播广播信道承载,或者根据当前基站下的用户数来决定采用单播 或组播广播信道来承载。
160, 所述多方电话会议的用户从基站接收该多方电话会议的组播广播 节目。用户通过终端的多方电话会议客户端 MCC Client接收组播广播节目。
如果步骤 140中 MCC Content Provider采用第一种模式合并用户上传的 语音、视频或多媒体信息, 则激活用户在接收多方电话会议的组播广播节目 时要过滤自身上行的内容。 其中, 当使用笫一种模式的第 2种方法实现时, 激活用户在加入多方电话会议时其 DSA过程中不能带自身上传内容被分配 的 MBS Content ID。
下面将结合附图对本发明的技术方案进行更详细的说明。
图 3示出了多方电话会议***通过上行信道产生 MCBCS节目的流程。
201a ~ 201b, 激活用户 MS1、 MS2分别将自己的语音、 视频或多媒体 信息通过单播方式上行传送到 MCC Content Provider;
202, MCC Content Provider负责把激活用户上传的内容合并为组播广播 节目。
图 4示出了多方电话会议***的 MCBCS节目在下行信道传输流程。
301a ~ 301c, MCC Content Provider将合并后的组播广播节目传送给终 端用户 MS1、 MS2、 MS3;
302a ~ 302b, 激活用户 MS1、 MS2在接收多方电话会议 MCBCS节目 时过滤自身上传的内容。
对第一个加入多方电话会议的用户,会触发多方电话会议的 MCBCS业 务建立流程。图 5就是第一个用户加入多方电话会议,通过 MCC Management 触发多方电话会议 MCBCS业务建立的示意图。
401,终端用户的 MCC Client向 MCC Management发送多方电话会议加 入消息;
402, MCC Management收到多方电话会议加入消息后, 如果当前力口入 的多方电话会议是具有组管理特征的多方电话会议, 则 MCC Management 要对该用户进行鉴权,如果该用户为多方电话会议组中的合法用户 ,则 MCC Management将用户类型以及分配的用户标识通知终端用户的 MCC Client, 进一步地, 如果是激活用户, 则会建立一条从终端到 MCC Content Provider 的连接。 如果当前为会议开始时间, 则开始后续的组播广播业务流程。
当预订多方电话会议开始前, MCC Management向 MCBCS Controller
(组播广播控制器)发送 MCBCS Setup Req (组播广播建立请求), 请求建 立多方电话会议, 消息中可以带有 MCBCS业务类型为多方电话会议; 如果 会议内容合并采用上述第一种模式的方法 1,则该消息还需要带上用户标识; 如果采用上述笫一种模式合并中的方法 2, 则需要带上按激活用户标识顺序 分配的 MBS Content ID。
403 - 404 , MCBCS Controller通过 AGW (接入网关)把组播广播建立 请求消息传递到基站 BS; 在步骤 403中, 组播广播控制器收到组播广播建 立请求消息后, 可能会继续向 AAA (认证、 鉴权和计费服务器)进行组播 广播业务的鉴权和授权, 鉴权通过并授权后, 再继续后续的流程。
405 - 407, 业务流添加请求, 业务流添加响应, 业务流添加确认。
如果 MCC Content Provider对用户上行内容的合并采用前述第一种模式 中的方法 2, 则在对激活用户的 DSA过程中, DSA过程不能包含该激活用 户上行内容合并后对应的标识 MBS Content ID。采用这种方式,激活用户不 会收到自己上传的内容。
408 - 409, 基站 BS为 MCBCS业务数据通道预留资源成功后, 将发送 组播广播业务建立响应消息 MCBCS Setup Rs 给 AGW, AGW将该消息发 送给 MCBCS Contoller。
410 , MCBCS Controller 回复组播广播业务建立响应消息给 MCC Management, 表示多方电话会议中 AGW到终端用户的连接已经成功建立。
411 , MCC Management发送组播广播建立指示给组播广播内容服务器, 用来指示组播广播内容服务器可以开始组播广播业务传输。
412, MCBCS Content Server将来自 MCC Content Provider的内容通过 下行连接发送到激活用户或非激活用户。
本发明所述的多方语音和视频电话会议方法及***不限于上述 WiMAX 无线通信***, 该方法和***同样适用于其它无线通信***, 如 3GPP 和 3GPP2。在相应的无线通信***組播广播架构上增加本发明所述的用于实现 多方语音和视频电话会议的功能实体即可。
当然,本发明还可有其他多种实施例,在不背离本发明精神及其实质的 情况下, 熟悉本领域的技术人员当可根据本发明作出各种相应的改变和变 形, 但这些相应的改变和变形都应属于本发明所附的权利要求的保护范围。
工业实用性
本发明利用无线通信***中已有的組播广播架构,在该架构中,通过在 网络侧新增 MCC Mangement以及 MCC Content Provider功能实体, 在终端 侧新增 MCC Client,并将多方电话会议内容合并为多媒体组播广播节目进行 传送的方法, 实现了在无线通信***中提供多方电话会议业务。本发明所述 方法和***可应用于 3GPP, 3GPP2和 WiMAX等无线通信***中。
