Description

一种进行通信的方法、***和设备
本申请要求在2013年10月30日提交中国专利局、申请号为201310529055.7、发明名称为“一种进行通信的方法、***和设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域,特别涉及一种进行通信的方法、***和设备。
背景技术
组通信就是网络以快速有效的方式同时向组内所有用户设备(User Equipment,UE)数据传输。随着LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进)技术成熟,如果运营商可利用LTE***提供组通信功能,当LTE***成熟后,将可以不再维护2/3G网络,可以实现网络平滑过渡到LTE***。对于LTE***,组通信端到端传输时延要求为150ms,为了满足该时延要求,目前采用的网络架构重用现有多媒体广播多播业务(Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service,MBMS)架构,并在现有MBMS网络架构上做一定修改以满足该时延要求。
MBMS采用“点到多点”的方式,将同一个业务源发出的数据同时发送给多个接收端。MBMS不仅扩展了移动通信网络中的业务种类,而且能够通过承载和资源共享,降低网络运营成本。在时分长期演进(Time Division Long Term Evolution,TD-LTE)中采用MBMS单频网(Multimedia Broadcast multicast service Single Frequency Network,MBSFN)实现MBMS,即某一区域内参与MBMS的所有小区在相同的时间和频率资源上发送相同的内容(这个区域称为MBSFN区域)。利用MBSFN技术,UE能够将来自多个小区的信号进行合并处理,从而获得更好的覆盖范围和传输质量。
不同MBSFN区域内可以传输相同的MBMS业务,即不同的MBSFN区域可以属于同一MBMS业务区域。如图1所示,其中虽然存在三个MBSFN区域,但属于同一MBMS业务区域。不同MBSFN区域之间可以交叠,需要在无线资源上进行区分。
目前利用LTE***支持公共安全组通信是一个比较迫切的需求,而为了满足这个需求,一种解决方案就是利用现有的MBMS网络架构实现组通信的功能,但在一些场景下,例如,UE移动出MBSFN区域覆盖范围,导致多播(Multicast)/单播(Unicast)切换,现有***中,UE在目标小区承载在MBMS信道上的业务失败后,才与目标小区建立单播连接,这中间的时延较长,无法满足通信时延要求。
综上所述,目前UE移动出MBSFN区域覆盖范围后,需要在目标小区承载在MBMS信道上的业务失败后,才与目标小区建立单播连接,使得通信时延增加。

具体实施方式
本发明实施例用户设备在接收承载在MBMS信道上的业务过程中,若进行小区切换,则判断服务小区和目标小区是否在同一个MBSFN区域中;根据判断结果,确定是否继续接收承载在MBMS信道上的业务。由于用户设备在接收承载在MBMS信道上的业务过程 中,若进行小区切换,根据服务小区和目标小区是否在同一个MBSFN区域的判断结果,确定是否继续接收承载在MBMS信道上的业务,从而在用户设备移动出MBSFN区域覆盖范围后,不用等到在目标小区承载在MBMS信道上的业务失败,才与目标小区建立单播连接,减少了通信时延。
采用本发明实施例的方案在不改变现有网络架构的情况下,可以减小组通信在移动的情况下的业务传输时延,满足组通信端到端传输时延要求。
如图2所示,本发明实施例一中进行通信的***包括:网络侧设备20和用户设备21。
网络侧设备20,用于确定MBSFN区域中的小区信息,根据MBSFN区域中的小区信息向所述用户设备发送通知,以使用户设备在承载在MBMS信道上的业务过程中若进行小区切换,则判断服务小区和目标小区是否在同一个MBSFN区域中,并根据判断结果确定是否继续承载在MBMS信道上的业务;
用户设备21,用于在承载在MBMS信道上的业务过程中,若进行小区切换,则判断服务小区和目标小区是否在同一个MBSFN区域中,根据判断结果,确定是否继续接收承载在MBMS信道上的业务。
其中,承载在MBMS信道上的业务包括但不限于下列业务中的一种:
MBMS业务和组通信业务。
本发明实施例的小区信息是能够唯一标识小区的信息,比如小区标识、小区标识对应的小区序号等。
本发明实施例的网络侧设备可以是多小区/多播协调实体(Multi-cell/multicast Coordination Entity,MCE),还可以是基站(比如宏基站,家庭基站等),也可以是中继(RN)设备,还可以是其它网络侧设备或新的网络侧设备。
其中,网络侧设备根据MBSFN区域中的小区信息通知用户设备的方式有很多种,下面列举几种。
方式一、网络侧设备通过小区的多播控制信道(Multicast Control Channel,MCCH),直接向用户设备发送MBSFN区域中的小区信息。
具体的,针对每个小区,网络侧设备通过小区的MCCH,发送小区所属的MBSFN区域中的所有小区信息,比如MBSFN区域A中有小区B和小区C,则网络侧设备分别通过小区B和小区C发送小区B和小区C的小区信息;或
针对每个小区,网络侧设备通过小区的MCCH,发送小区所属的MBSFN区域中与小区相邻的小区的小区信息,比如MBSFN区域A中有小区B、小区C和小区D,小区B的邻小区是小区D和小区E,小区C的邻小区是小区D和小区E,则则网络侧设备通过小区B发送小区B和小区D的小区信息,通过小区C发送小区C和小区D的小区信息。
发送小区所属的MBSFN区域中与小区相邻的小区的小区信息的方式相比发送小区所 属的MBSFN区域中的所有小区信息的方式,可以节省传递的小区信息的数量,从而节省资源。
较佳地,如果本发明实施例的网络侧设备是MCE,则根据MBSFN区域中的小区信息通知用户设备之前,MCE可以与每个小区交互邻小区列表信息(这里的每个小区是位于相同MBSFN区域的小区,也就是这些小区广播的MBMS信息来自同一个MCE),主要包含每个小区的邻小区列表信息中小区序号(CellIndex)与小区标识(CellIdentity)的对应关系,这样可以只将小区序号通过MCCH通知用户设备(SIB包含小区序号与小区标识的对应关系,用户设备可以通过SIB信息就可以获得该对应关系)。如果MCE没有与每个小区的邻小区信息交互,MCE也可以直接将每个小区的邻小区的小区标识通过MCCH通知用户设备。
方式二、网络侧设备根据小区和小区的邻区是否都在同一个MBSFN区域中,确定通知方式。
具体的,针对一个小区,网络侧设备判断该小区和该小区的邻区是否都在同一个MBSFN区域中,如果是,则不通过小区的MCCH向用户设备发送MBSFN区域中的小区信息,以使得所述用户设备通过在小区的MCCH未收到MBSFN区域中的小区信息确定所述小区和所述小区的邻区都在同一个MBSFN区域中;
否则,网络侧设备通过小区的MCCH,发送小区所属的MBSFN区域中的所有小区信息,比如MBSFN区域A中有小区B和小区C,则网络侧设备分别通过小区B和小区C发送小区B和小区C的小区信息;或通过小区的MCCH,发送小区所属的MBSFN区域中与小区相邻的小区的小区信息,比如MBSFN区域A中有小区B、小区C和小区D,小区B的邻小区是小区D和小区E,小区C的邻小区是小区D和小区E,则则网络侧设备通过小区B发送小区B和小区D的小区信息,通过小区C发送小区C和小区D的小区信息。
其中,如果小区和小区的邻区是否都在同一个MBSFN区域中,则网络侧设备可以采用隐式的通知方式,即不发送小区信息,这样用户设备就知道服务小区和目标小区在同一个MBSFN区域中,从而节省传输资源。
发送小区所属的MBSFN区域中与小区相邻的小区的小区信息的方式相比发送小区所属的MBSFN区域中的所有小区信息的方式,可以节省传递的小区信息的数量,从而节省资源。
较佳地,如果本发明实施例的网络侧设备是MCE,则根据MBSFN区域中的小区信息通知用户设备之前,MCE可以与每个小区交互邻小区列表信息,主要包含每个小区的邻小区列表信息中小区序号(CellIndex)与小区标识(CellIdentity)的对应关系,这样可以只将小区序号通过MCCH通知用户设备。如果MCE没有与每个小区的邻小区信息交互,MCE也可以直接将每个小区的邻小区的小区标识通过MCCH通知用户设备。
MCCH中承载的小区信息可以参见下面内容:

对于用户设备,根据来自网络侧设备的通知,判断服务小区和目标小区是否在同一个MBSFN区域中。

较佳地,MBSFN区域中的小区信息为服务小区所在的MBSFN区域中所有小区的小区信息;或
MBSFN区域中的小区信息为服务小区所在的MBSFN区域中与服务小区相邻的小区的小区信息。
比如,通过服务小区的MCCH收到的小区信息中有目标小区的小区信息,就可以确定服务小区和目标小区在同一个MBSFN区域中;相反如果没有,就可以确定服务小区和目标小区不在同一个MBSFN区域中。
