下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
应理解,本发明实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信***,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,GSM)***、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)***、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)***、通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)***、LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex,FDD)***、LTE时分双工(Time Division Duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信***(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)通信***等。
还应理解,在本发明实施例中,用户设备(User Equipment,UE)可称之为终端设备(Terminal)、移动台(Mobile Station,MS)、移动终端(Mobile
Terminal)等,该用户设备可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,例如,用户设备可以是移动电话(或称为“蜂窝电话”)、具有移动终端的计算机等,例如,用户设备还可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,它们与无线接入网交换语音和/或数据。
在本发明实施例中,基站可以是GSM或CDMA中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是WCDMA中的基站(NodeB,NB),还可以是LTE中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,eNB或eNodeB),本发明并不限定。为方便描述,本发明实施例中,上述为终端提供无线通信功能的装置统称为基站或BS。
LTE的制定和设计用以实现低运营成本、低时延、高***容量、用户数据速率和高功率利用率等。演进的多媒体广播多播服务时3GPP推出的对现有多媒体广播多播服务(Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service,MBMS)的补充。
图1示出了本发明实施例LTE***中MBMS***的架构图。该MBMS***包括的网元及设备有用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、演进的通用移动通信***陆地无线接入网(Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Territorial Radio Access Network,E-UTRAN)、移动性管理网元(Mobility Management Entity,MME)、MBMS网关(Gateway,GW)、多媒体广播服务中心(Broadcast Multicast service center,BMSC)、分组数据网络(Packet Data Network,PDN)网关和内容提供商(Content Provider)。
其中,UE用于支持MBMS承载业务的激活和去激活功能。E-UTRAN用于实现与无线演进网络有关的功能,传送MBMS数据到制定的MBMS服务区。
MME负责控制面的移动性管理,如用户上下文和移动状态管理以及分配用户临时身份标识等。
PDN网关作为IP多播传输的登陆点,是3GPP接入网络和非接入网络之间的用户面锚点,和外部PDN的接口。
MBMS GW,提供MBMS GW与BM SC之间的控制面SGmb接口,以及提供MBMS GW与BM SC间的用户面SGi-mb接口。SGi-mb接口的MBMS会话业务数据进行通用分组无线服务隧道协议用户平面(General Packet
Radio Service Tunneling Protocol User Plane,GTPU)封装,并在M1接口进行组播分发到演进型基站(evolved Node B,eNB),提供组播目的IP地址分配,以及M1传输的控制面(C-TEID)分配功能,支持组播相关的协议,即IPV4网络支持组播管理协议(IGMPv3)和PIM,IPV6网络支持组播侦听者发现协议(MLDv2)和协议无关的组播协议(PIM)。
BMSC,用来保存签约数据,生成计费记录,成员管理(Gi接口),确定MBMS会话传输的时间表;确定MBMS会话重传的时间表,标识每个MBMS会话,分配TMGIs;并且通知UE该TMGI,UE收到TMGI后,在该TMGI标识的传输通道上接收到广播业务。
Content Provider:提供广播的内容,可以是不属于运营商的第三方的内容提供商,比如视频业务提供商或者电视节目提供商等。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例也可以用于通用陆地无线接入网(Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,简称UTRAN)或全球移动通信***(Global System for Mobile Communications,简称GSM)/GSM演进增强数据速率(Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution,简称EDGE)无线接入网(GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network,简称GERAN)中。与LTE网络不同的是,在UTRAN或GERAN中,MME的功能是由GPRS业务支持节点(Service GPRS Supporting Node,SGSN)完成的,而且服务网关(Serving Gateway,SGW)或分组数据网(Packet Data Network,PDN)网关(PDN Gateway,PGW)的功能是由网关GPRS支持节点(Gateway GPRS Support Node,简称GGSN)完成的。
图2为3GPP网络中能力开放的架构图。3GPP网络可以将网络能力开放给互联网应用(Over The Top,OTT)提供商。具体地,网络能力包括通信能力,签约信息、UE上下文信息和控制功能等。其中,通信能力主要有声音呼叫(voice calling),短讯服务(Short Messaging Service,SMS)和多媒体短信服务(Multimedia Messaging Service,MMS)等。UE签约信息主要有订阅身份(Subscription identity)、特征集(feature sets)和优先权(preference)等。UE上下文信息主要有位置信息(location),控制功能(例如,服务质量(Qaulity of Service,QoS)规则)等。
为了将3GPP网络的相关信息向第三方应用服务器(3rd Application)开放出去,引入一个逻辑功能实体,服务能力开放功能(Service Capability
Exposure Function,SCEF),该逻辑功能与***架构演进(System Architecture Evolution,SAE)网络的网元设备有接口。SCEF的上层是应用(Application)层,即第三方应用服务器。第三方应用服务器可以与SCEF建立连接,3GPP网络可以将信息通过SCEF发送给第三方应用服务器,第三方应用服务器也可以通过SCEF发送信息给3GPP网络。
如图2所示,能力开放功能单元(Service Capability Exposure Function,SCEF)处于3GPP和业务能力服务器(service capability server,SCS)/应用服务器(Application Server,AS)之间。该3GPP网络包括归属地签约用户服务器(Home Subscriber Service,HSS)模块、策略与计费制定功能(Policy and Charging Rule Function,PCRF)模块、MME/SGSN、BMSC、机器类型通信互通功能(Machine Type Communication InterWorking Function,MTC-IWF)模块、服务呼叫会话控制功能(Serving Call Session Control Function,S-CSCF)模块、无线接入网拥塞感知功能(RAN Congestion Awareness Function,RCAF)以及网络实体等。在eMBMS***架构中,Content provider也属于一种AS。具体地,AS可以通过API函数向SCEF发起业务能力请求或者AS直接向网络实体发起请求,SCEF从3GPP网络获取对应的网络能力,再通过API发送给SCS/AS。
如图3为现有技术中多播方式的传输流程。其中,多播传输是指从一个数据源向特定区域内的多个用户同时发送数据。具体地,在当前的标准协议中(TS23.682),SCS/AS通过SCEF广播方式进行群组消息传送,具体流程如图3所示。
101、SCS/AS向SCEF发送临时移动组标识(Temporary Mobile Group Identity,TMGI)请求消息;
102、通过SCEF与HSS/归属位置寄存器(Home Location Register,HLR)之间的授权;
103、通过BMSC配置该TMGI标识;
104、SCEF向SCS/AS返回TMGI响应消息;
105、建立UE与SCS/AS的应用连接;
106、SCS/AS向SCEF发送请求组消息;
107、建立HSS/HLR与SCEF之间的授权;
108、SCEF向BMSC发送激活MBMS承载请求消息;
109、BMSC向SCEF返回激活MBMS承载响应消息;
110、SCEF向SCS/AS发送确认组消息;
111、建立MBMS-GW/GGSN MME/SGSN与RAN之间的会话连接;
112、从而SCS/AS能够通过SCEF、BMSC、RAN向UE发送组消息;
113、UE接收到该组消息后,发送响应组消息。
图4为现有技术的群组通信(Group Communication Service,GCS)***的示意图。群组通信业务应用服务器(GCS AS)也可以认为是一种第三方应用服务器,GCS AS通过MB2接口与BMSC连接。因此,第三方应用服务器提供商必须改造网络支持MB2接口(例如,部署直径(Diameter)协议栈等工作),这样会给现有广泛存在的大量OTT(即第三方应用服务器)带来升级以及网络部署的复杂性。
该群组通信***中,第三方应用服务器需要获知运营商网络的网络传输能力,对第三方应用服务器的部署的有较高需求。此外,第三方应用服务器根据网络传输能力确定业务数据采用多播传输方式或单播传输方式,并没有考虑终端设备的位置信息或者业务需求等,造成网络资源的浪费。
应理解,在本发明实施例中,服务器可以内容提供商,用于提供广播内容。服务器可以是不属于运营商的第三方的内容提供商,例如,OTT。OTT是指通过互联网向用户提供各种应用服务。这种应用和目前运营商所提供的通信业务不同,它仅利用运营商的网络,而服务由运营商之外的第三方提供。目前,典型的OTT业务有互联网电视业务、视频业务。为描述方便,本发明实施例以SCS/AS例进行描述,但本发明并不限于此。
图5示出了根据本申请一个实施例的业务处理的方法的交互流程图。本申请实施例中的各种术语的含义与前述各实施例相同。
应注意,这只是为了帮助本领域技术人员更好地理解本申请实施例,而非限制本申请实施例的范围。

应理解,UE与BMSC的数目不一定相同,也就是说,可能有多个UE属于同一个BMSC。例如,有6个UE(UE1、UE2、UE3、UE4、UE5和UE6),其中,UE1和UE3属于BMSC1,UE2、UE4和UE6属于BMSC2,UE6属于BMSC3。
505、SCEF向BMSC发送第二业务请求消息。
可选地,该第一业务请求消息作为该第二业务请求消息。
SCEF接收到该第一业务请求消息后,可以直接向BMSC发送该第一业务请求消息,也就是说,该第一业务请求消息和第二业务请求消息相同。
或者,SCEF根据其他信息生成新的业务请求消息,并将新的业务请求消息发送给BMSC。因此,SCEF可以向已经选中的一个BMSC或多个BMSC发送第二业务请求消息,从而提高了为UE服务的服务质量。
应理解,本发明对该第二业务请求消息的名称不进行限定,换句话说,其他具有上述第二业务请求消息的功能的任何消息、信息等也在本发明保护的范围之内。
还应理解,若第一业务请求消息同时携带终端设备的标识信息与终端设备的业务需求信息,则第二业务请求消息可以同时携带终端设备的标识信息与终端设备的业务需求信息,也可以只携带终端设备的标识信息与终端设备
的业务需求信息中的任一个。
可选地,在本发明一个实施例中,该方法还包括:该SCEF确定该传输模式;该第二业务请求消息包括传输模式通知消息,该传输模式通知信息用于通知该BMSC该传输模式。
SCEF可以确定传输模式,并通过在第一业务请求消息中携带传输模式通知信息(表示为第二业务请求消息)告知BMSC,从而能够避免资源浪费,提高了资源利用率。
应理解,该第二业务请求消息除了包括传输模式通知信息外,还可以携带第一业务请求消息携带的任何信息,或者全部信息等,本发明对此不进行限定。
例如,第二业务请求消息可以携带该UE接收业务数据的时间信息,从而BMSC还可以考虑UE接收数据的时间因素确定业务数据的传输模式。若第二业务请求消息不携带该时间信息,则BMSC接收到第二业务请求消息后,可以立即执行传输通道建立,以及传输业务数据等。
可选地,该SCEF还可以静态配置服务区域与小区标识的对应关系,从而能够根据该对应关系,确定业务数据的传输模式。
可选地,在本发明一个实施例中,该SCEF确定该传输模式包括:该SCEF根据配置策略信息,确定该传输模式。

BMSC接收第二业务请求消息,该第二业务请求消息携带UE的标识信息和UE的业务需求信息等。或者该第二业务请求消息还携带UE接收业务数据的时间信息等。或者该第二业务请求消息还携带SCS/AS的标识信息等。BMSC根据该第二业务请求消息中的信息,确定业务数据的传输模式为单播
传输或多播传输。这样,服务器不需要理解网络传输能力,减少了服务器部署的复杂性。
例如,在相同的时间点或时间段,在某个区域有多个用户需求的业务内容相同,那么就可以对这多个用户采用多播传输。如果用户需求的业务内容或者接收业务数据的时间段不同时,则采用单播传输。
可选地,该业务请求消息是由该SCEF向一个BMSC或多个BMSC发送的,其中,该一个BMSC或多个BMSC为该SCEF根据获取的该终端设备的位置信息确定的该终端设备所属的BMSC。
可选地,该方法还包括:
该BMSC获取该终端设备的位置信息;
则该BMSC根据该业务请求消息,确定业务数据的传输模式包括:

具体而言,该第二业务请求消息还可以携带UE的位置信息,BMSC根据接收UE的位置信息,以及其上配置的服务区域(Service Area)与小区标识列列表(Cell id list)信息,确定数据传输模式。
例如,BMSC根据服务区域与小区标识列表信息的对应关系以及第二业务请求消息,确定多播的每个小区内只有一个UE,若采用多播传输会造成资源浪费。因此,BMSC根据服务区域与小区标识列表信息的对应关系以及第二业务请求消息中的信息确定传输模块,提高了资源利用率。
可选地,在本发明的一个实施例中,该方法还包括:该BMSC确定网络传输能力;其中,该BMSC根据该业务请求消息,确定业务数据的传输模式包括:该BMSC根据该业务请求消息和该网络传输能力,确定该传输模式。

具体地,BMSC也可以配置传输策略信息,比如与SCS/AS的签约信息等。签约信息可以是SCS/AS的数据流的传输方式,那么,BMSC收到业务请求消息之后,可以根据业务需求信息确定数据流的传输方式。
可选地,该业务请求消息还携带该终端设备的位置信息;
该BMSC获取该终端设备的位置信息包括:
该BMSC从该业务请求消息中获取该终端设备的位置信息。
具体而言,若业务请求消息(表示为第二业务请求消息)携带终端设备的位置信息,则BMSC可以从第二业务请求消息中获取该位置信息。
或者,BMSC也可以直接从MME或其他设备获取终端设备的位置信息等,本发明对此不进行限定。
可选地,该BMSC根据服务区域与小区标识的对应关系、该终端设备的标识信息、该业务需求信息和该终端设备的位置信息,确定该传输模式包括:

具体而言,BMSC可以根据终端设备的标识信息等确定终端设备的数量,从而BMSC根据终端设备的数量、终端设备的业务需求信息、终端设备的位置信息以及服务区域与小区标识的对应关系,确定业务数据的传输模式。
应理解,该终端设备的的标识信息可以是多个终端设备中每个终端设备的标识信息或者一个终端设备的标识信息,或者还可以是多个终端设备的群标识信息等,本发明对此不进行限定。
可选地,该第二业务请求消息还携带传输模式通知信息,该传输模式通知信息用于通知该BMSC该业务数据的传输模式。
具体地,BMSC可以根据网络传输能力、UE的标识信息、业务需求信息和接收业务数据的时间信息确定传输模式(可以表示为第一传输模式);或者BMSC根据传输模式通知信息确定传输模式(可以表示为第二传输模式);或者BMSC还可以根据第一传输模式与第二传输模式的一致性来再确定多播传输或者单播传输。例如,如果第一传输模式和第二传输模式都是多播传输,则该业务数据采用多播传输;如果第一传输模式和第二传输模式都是单播传输,则该业务数据采用单播传输;如果第一传输模式和第二传输模式不一致,则该业务数据采用单播传输;或者,如果第一传输模式和第二传输模式不一致,则该业务数据采用多播传输等,本发明对此不进行限定。
应理解,BMSC根据收到的传输模式通知信息中的传输模式执行,该传
输模式的确定可以是服务器也可以是SCEF,本发明对此不进行限定。
可选地,在本发明一个实施例中,该方法还包括:该服务器接收业务请求响应消息;该服务器根据该业务请求响应消息与该BMSC建立用户面传输通道。

该SCEF向该第一业务请求响应消息对应的第一BMSC发送第二业务请求响应消息集合,该第二业务请求响应消息集合为该多个业务请求响应消息中除该第一业务请求响应消息之外的所有业务请求响应消息。
具体而言,SCEF收到一个BMSC或多个BMSC发送的至少一个业务请求响应消息后,可以选择该一个BMSC或多个BMSC中的一个BMSC为主BMSC,其他的BMSC为从BMSC。然后,SCEF将主BMSC的业务请求响应消息转发到SCS/AS,将从BMSC的业务请求响应消息中的用户面IP地址和端口号信息发送到主BMSC。主BMSC根据每个从BMSC的用户面IP地址和端口号与每个从BMSC建立用户面数据传输通道,而SCS/AS根据用户面IP地址和端口号与主BMSC建立用户面数据传输通道。这样,SCS/AS
可以直接向主BMSC发送的业务数据,以及通过主BMSC的转发,向从BMSC发送业务数据。
可选地,在本发明一个实施例中,在该BMSC确定该业务数据的传输模式为单播传输时,BMSC触发单播传输的过程,例如,建立PDN连接,以及建立相应的承载等,本发明对此不进行限定。
