Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, the current Counting mechanism only counts the reception status of MBMS services by UEs in the RRC connected state, and does not consider the reception status of most UEs in the RRC idle state, which will cause some misjudgment problems
For example, at a certain moment, most UEs are in the idle state and are receiving or are interested in receiving a certain MBMS service, but since only connected state UEs are counted, the statistical result is that the service is not activated or deactivated
In this case, the reception of a large number of idle UEs that are receiving or interested in the MBMS service will be interrupted and cannot continue to receive the MBMS service
In addition, even if only a small number of UEs are interrupted due to service inactivation or deactivation, they will not be able to continue receiving services, thus greatl

Embodiment 1

[0094] This embodiment is directed to a method for continuously receiving MBMS services after the MBMS service being sent is stopped, such as image 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0095] Step 201: The UE detects that the MBMS service being received is stopped;

[0096] Here, the UE refers to a UE capable of receiving MBMS services; refer to step 101 for the specific process of this step.

[0097] Step 202: The UE judges whether the stopped MBMS service ends normally, if it ends normally, go to step 204; otherwise, go to step 203;

[0098] Step 203: End the reception of the MBMS service, and the process ends;

[0099] Step 204: The UE reads the MBMS USD, and obtains the access information of the corresponding unicast service of the MBMS service;

[0100] Step 205: The UE sends a scheduling and access request to the network according to the obtained access information of the corresponding unicast service of the MBMS service, and requests the network to send the MBMS service through uni...

Embodiment 2

[0112] This embodiment is directed to a method in which the application layer or the user participates in deciding whether to continue receiving the MBMS service through unicast after the MBMS service being received is stopped, so as to realize the continuous reception of the MBMS service, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0113] Step 301: The UE detects that the MBMS service being received is stopped;

[0114] Step 302: The UE sends a service interruption instruction to the application layer or the user, and inquires whether to continue receiving services through unicast through the service interruption instruction;

[0115] In this step, the service interruption indication can be a special indicator or bit sent to the application layer, or a pre-defined indicator bit. Through the translation of the application layer, the user can receive something like "whether to continue through unicast "Receive service", ask whether the user will continue to...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for continuously receiving multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS). After user equipment (UE) detects that the receiving MBMS is stopped, the unicast service access with corresponding relationship with the MBMS service is initiated according to the corresponding relationship of the MBMS service and the unicast service, and the MBMS is continuously received through unicast. Meanwhile, the invention also discloses a device continuously receiving MBMS. Through the technical scheme of the invention, the receiving state of users receiving the MBMS can be ensured not to be interrupted, and the service experience of users is improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to multimedia communication technology, in particular to a method and device for continuous reception of multimedia broadcast and multicast services. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the Internet and the popularization of large-screen multifunctional mobile terminals, a large number of mobile data multimedia services and various high-bandwidth multimedia services have emerged, such as video conferencing, TV broadcasting, video on demand, advertising, online education, interactive games, etc. This aspect meets the multi-service needs of mobile users, and at the same time brings new business growth points for mobile operators. These mobile data multimedia services require multiple users to receive the same data at the same time. Compared with ordinary data services, they have the characteristics of large data volume, long duration, and time delay sensitivity. [0003] In order to make effective use of mo...
