Problems solved by technology

However, with the current Counting mechanism, when the Counting Request message is sent on the MCCH, the UE receiving the MBMS service through unicast cannot receive the message, nor can it participate in the counting reporting process

Embodiment 1

[0038] image 3 It is a flowchart of a method for monitoring MBMS services according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Such as image 3 shown, including the following steps:

[0039] Step S302, the UE receiving or interested in receiving the MBMS service through PTP monitors the MBMS notification message on the PDCCH.

[0040] In step S304, the UE acquires information on the corresponding MCCH according to the monitored notification message.

[0041] In the first embodiment, the MBMS-related information on the corresponding MCCH is obtained by monitoring the MBMS notification message on the PDCCH, which solves the problem of how the UE that is receiving or interested in receiving the MBMS service through the PTP method can monitor the information in the MBSFN area. Problems with MBMS services, so that UEs receiving services through unicast can also participate in Counting feedback, and when the network provides corresponding multicast services and itself has the abi...

Embodiment 2

[0047] In this embodiment, a certain UE is receiving the MBMS service through unicast. Considering that the current counting mechanism requires counting the number of UEs interested in receiving a certain MBMS service (referring here to receiving the service in the form of MBSFN through multicast). In a recent 3GPP meeting, reception of MBMS services via unicast was also considered to be of interest for reception of the MBMS services. Therefore, this embodiment provides a method for monitoring MBMS services, so that UE receiving MBMS services through unicast can receive the counting request sent by the network, so as to report the situation of the MBMS services it is interested in.

[0048] Figure 4 It is a flowchart of a method for monitoring MBMS services according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Such as Figure 4 shown, including the following steps:

[0049] Step S402, the UE receives the MBMS service through unicast.

[0050] The UE refers to a UE capable ...

Embodiment 3

[0060] In this embodiment, a certain user is in an area outside the coverage of the MBSFN area, and is watching a football program (the program is an MBMS service) through a large-screen UE. At this time, the UE is connected to the program source of the program through unicast PTP, and the UE has MBMS capability (that is, the capability of receiving MBMS service through MBSFN). Due to the movement of the user or the change of the MBSFN area, the UE actively or passively enters the MBSFN area. At this time, the UE may receive the service through MBSFN in the following manner, release corresponding unicast resources, and improve the utilization rate of network resources.

[0061] Figure 5 It is a flowchart of a method for monitoring MBMS services according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Such as Figure 5 shown, including the following steps:

[0062] In step S502, the UE receives the MBMS service in PTP mode through unicast. The UE refers to a UE capable of MBMS, ...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and user equipment for monitoring a multimedia broadcast and multicast service. The method comprises the steps of: monitoring MBMS notification messages on a PDCCH by UE which is receiving or is interested in receiving MBMS through a way of PTP; and acquiring information on a corresponding MCCH by the UE according to the monitored notification messages. In the invention, relevant information of the MBMS on the corresponding MCCH is acquired through monitoring the MBMS notification messages on the PDCCH, which solves the problem existed in the prior art how the MBMS in an MBSFN area is monitored by the UE which is receiving or is interested in receiving the MBMS through the way of PTP, thereby enabling the UE which receives services in a unicast way can also execute relevant MBMS in a multicast manner and improving the utilization rate of network resources.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular, to a method and user equipment for monitoring multimedia broadcast 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, advertisements, online education, interactive games, etc. On the one hand, it meets the multi-service requirements 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 general data services, they have the characteristics of large data volume, long duration, and delay sensitivity. [0003] In order to effectively utilize mobil...
