The terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish between different cells, and do not represent the difference in priority or importance of the two cells.

[0097] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0098] The embodiments of the present application provide a service receiving method and device, which are used to increase the rate at which a non-connected user equipment receives MBS.

[0099] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the method and the device solve the problem in a similar principle, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0100] The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applicable to a variety of systems, especially 5G systems. For example, the applicable system can be a global system of mobile communication (GSM) system, a code division multiple access (CDMA) system, a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) general packet radio service (GPRS) system, a long term evolution (LTE) system, a LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) system, a LTE time division duplex (TDD) system, an advanced long term evolution (LTE-A) system, a universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS), a world-wide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) system, a 5G new radio (NR) system, etc. These various systems include terminal equipment and network equipment. The system may also include a core network part, such as an evolved packet system (EPS), a 5G system (5GS), etc.

[0101] The user equipment involved in the embodiments of the present application may be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with a wireless connection function, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. In different systems, the name of the terminal device may also be different. For example, in a 5G system, the terminal device may be called a user equipment (UE). A wireless terminal device may communicate with one or more core networks (CN) via a radio access network (RAN). The wireless terminal device may be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone (or a "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device. For example, it may be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges language and / or data with a wireless access network. For example, personal communication service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, session initiated protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and other devices. The wireless terminal device may also be referred to as a system, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal device, an access terminal device, a user terminal device, a user agent, and a user device, but is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0102] The network device involved in the embodiment of the present application may be a base station, which may include multiple cells providing services for the terminal. Depending on the specific application scenario, the base station may also be called an access point, or may be a device in the access network that communicates with the wireless terminal device through one or more sectors on the air interface, or other names. The network device may be used to interchange received air frames with Internet Protocol (IP) packets, and serve as a router between the wireless terminal device and the rest of the access network, wherein the rest of the access network may include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network. The network device may also coordinate the attribute management of the air interface. For example, the network device involved in the embodiments of the present application may be a network device (base transceiver station, BTS) in the global system for mobile communications (global system for mobile communications, GSM) or code division multiple access (code division multiple access, CDMA), or a network device (NodeB) in wide-band code division multiple access (WCDMA), or an evolutionary network device (evolutional Node B, eNB or e-NodeB) in the long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) system, a 5G base station (gNB) in the 5G network architecture (next generation system), or a home evolved Node B (home evolved Node B, HeNB), a relay node, a home base station (femto), a pico base station (pico), etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In some network structures, the network device may include a centralized unit (CU) node and a distributed unit (DU) node, and the centralized unit and the distributed unit may also be arranged geographically separately.

[0103] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the architecture includes a network device 101 and a user equipment 102. The network device 101 includes multiple cells. The network device 101 can send MBS to the user equipment 102 in multiple cells.

[0104] For connected user equipment to receive broadcast services, even if the user equipment is configured with carrier aggregation (CA), the user equipment can only receive broadcast services on one cell. If the network device wants the user equipment to receive broadcast services on a secondary cell (SCell), the network device can instruct the user equipment to receive broadcast services on the corresponding SCell through dedicated signaling, and the dedicated signaling includes system information (SIB) 20 for scheduling MCCH on the SCell. For connected user equipment to receive multicast services, even if the user equipment is configured with CA, the user equipment can only receive multicast services on one cell. The network instructs the user equipment to receive multicast services on the corresponding cell by providing common frequency resource (CFR) configuration information for receiving multicast services on the corresponding cell.

[0105] As technology evolves, it may be possible to support connected user equipment to receive MBS via CA. Since non-connected user equipment only supports receiving MBS in one cell where it resides, it cannot receive MBS sent in other cells, resulting in a low rate at which the user equipment receives MBS.

[0106] Based on the problems in the prior art, the present application proposes the following concept: a network device sends cell indication information to a user equipment, instructing the user equipment to receive the MBS on at least one first cell that sends the MBS, thereby increasing the rate at which the user equipment receives the MBS.

[0107] The service receiving method provided by the present application is introduced below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0108] Figure 2 A flowchart of a service receiving method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0109] S201. A network device sends cell indication information to a user equipment.

[0110] In other words, the user equipment receives the cell indication information sent by the network equipment.

[0111] The user equipment may receive the cell indication information in a connected state or in a non-connected state.

[0112] The cell indication information is used to indicate at least one first cell that sends the MBS.

[0113] That is, the user equipment can determine at least one first cell according to the cell indication information.

[0114] The first cell is different from the second cell, and the second cell is a cell where the user equipment resides when it is in a non-connected state.

[0115] The user equipment may move from other cells to the second cell through cell reselection; or the user equipment may be released to a non-connected state by the network device in the second cell.

[0116] The non-connected state includes a radio resource control (RRC) idle state or an RRC inactive state.

[0117] The user equipment may receive the cell indication information sent by the network equipment in the second cell, or may receive the cell indication information sent by the network equipment in other cells.

[0118] In a possible implementation, when the terminal equipment is in a connected state, the network equipment may send first indication information to the user equipment to indicate the cell in which the user equipment resides when in a non-connected state.

[0119] For a terminal device in a connected state, the network device can determine a second cell and at least one first cell among all cells sending MBS, indicate the second cell to the user equipment through first indication information, and indicate at least one first cell to the user equipment through cell indication information.

[0120] The network device may send the first indication information and the cell indication information at the same time, or may not send the first indication information and the cell indication information at the same time.

[0121] In a possible implementation, the network device may send the cell indication information to the user equipment in the following ways:

[0122] (1) The network device sends system information to the user equipment, and the system information carries cell indication information.

[0123] In other words, the user equipment receives the system information sent by the network equipment, and the system information carries the cell indication information.

[0124] The system information may refer to the system information used by the main control channel (MCCH) for scheduling broadcast or the MCCH for multicast.

[0125] Exemplarily, the system information may be SIB20, or other existing system information or newly defined system information, etc., which is not limited in the present application.

[0126] (ii) The network device sends a multicast MCCH or a broadcast MCCH to the user equipment, where the multicast MCCH or the broadcast MCCH carries the cell indication information.

[0127] In other words, the user equipment monitors the multicast MCCH or the broadcast MCCH sent by the network equipment, and obtains the cell indication information from the multicast MCCH or the broadcast MCCH.

[0128] (3) The network device sends a first signaling to the user equipment, the first signaling carries the cell indication information, and the first signaling is the signaling received when the user equipment is in a connected state.

[0129] In other words, the user equipment receives the first signaling sent by the network equipment, and the first signaling carries the cell indication information.

[0130] The first signaling may be an RRC reconfiguration message received when the user equipment is in a connected state, or an RRC release message received when the user equipment is released, or other signaling received when the user equipment is in a connected state, and this application does not limit this.

[0131] In a possible implementation manner, for an MBS that the user equipment is interested in, the cell indication information may include at least one of the following:

[0132] (1) The frequency at which MBS is sent.

[0133] (2) The cell identity of the sending MBS.

[0134] The cell identifier can be a cell global identifier (NR cell global identifier, NCGI) or a physical cell identifier (physical cell identifier, PCI).

[0135] (3) MBS corresponding cell mapping relationship.

[0136] (4) System information of scheduling MCCH in the first cell, where MCCH includes multicast MCCH or broadcast MCCH.

[0137] The cell indication information may include system information of scheduling MCCH in one first cell, and may also include system information of scheduling MCCH in multiple first cells.

[0138] (5) MCCH content of the first cell, where the MCCH content includes multicast MCCH content or broadcast MCCH content.

[0139] The cell indication information may include the MCCH content of one first cell, or may include the MCCH content of multiple first cells.

[0140] The cell indication information may only include the cell identifier of the cell sending the MBS. In this case, the cell identifier is an identifier that can uniquely identify the cell, such as NCGI.

[0141] Exemplarily, for MBS1, when the cell indication information includes cell identifier 1 and cell identifier 2, it means that the network device needs to send MBS1 in not only the second cell, but also the cell whose cell identifier is cell identifier 1 and the cell whose cell identifier is cell identifier 2.

[0142] The cell indication information may include the cell identifier of the MBS and system information for scheduling the MCCH in each first cell, or the cell indication information may include the cell identifier of the MBS and the MCCH content of each first cell.

[0143] The cell indication information may include the cell identifier for sending the MBS and the frequency for sending the MBS. In this case, the cell identifier may be the PCI.

[0144] Exemplarily, for MBS1, the cell indication information includes {f1+PCI1} and {f2+PCI2}. The user equipment can uniquely determine cell 1 through frequency f1 and PCI1, and can uniquely determine cell 2 through frequency f2 and PCI2, indicating that the network device must send MBS1 on cell 1 and cell 2 in addition to sending MBS1 on the second cell.

[0145] The cell indication information may include the cell identifier for sending MBS, the frequency for sending MBS and the system information for scheduling MCCH in each first cell, or the cell indication information may include the cell identifier for MBS, the frequency for sending MBS and the MCCH content of each first cell.

[0146] The cell indication information may only include the cell mapping relationship corresponding to the MBS.

[0147] The user equipment currently maintains a neighboring cell list {cell 1, cell 2, cell 3}, and the cell mapping relationship indicates through a bitmap which cells need to receive MBS1. For example, the cell mapping relationship is {111}, indicating that in addition to sending MBS1 on the second cell, the network device also needs to send MBS1 on cell 1, cell 2 and cell 3; for another example, the cell mapping relationship is {110}, indicating that in addition to sending MBS1 on the second cell, the network device also needs to send MBS1 on cell 1 and cell 2.

[0148] The cell indication information may include a cell mapping relationship corresponding to the MBS and system information for scheduling the MCCH in each first cell, or the cell indication information may include a cell mapping relationship corresponding to the MBS and MCCH content of each first cell.

[0149] S202. User equipment receives an MBS in at least one of a first cell and a second cell according to cell indication information.

[0150] Before receiving the MBS, the user equipment is in a non-connected state and resides in the second cell.

[0151] When the cell indication information includes different contents, the process of the user equipment receiving the MBS on the first cell is different. The following describes in detail how the user equipment receives the MBS on the first cell in three cases:

[0152] (i) The cell indication information includes system information of scheduling MCCH in each first cell, where MCCH includes multicast MCCH or broadcast MCCH; the user equipment may receive the MBS on the first cell in the following manner:

[0153] According to the system information of the MCCH scheduled by the first cell, the configuration information of the MBS included in the MCCH of the first cell is acquired; and according to the configuration information, the MBS is received.

[0154] Exemplarily, if the cell indication information indicates the unique cell identifier of cell 1, the unique cell identifier of cell 2, the system information for scheduling MCCH in cell 1, and the system information for scheduling MCCH in cell 2. The user equipment obtains the MCCH configuration of cell 1 according to the system information for scheduling MCCH in cell 1, and reads the MCCH content of cell 1 according to the MCCH configuration of cell 1; the user equipment obtains the MCCH configuration of cell 2 according to the system information for scheduling MCCH in cell 2, and reads the MCCH content of cell 2 according to the MCCH configuration of cell 2; the user equipment receives the MBS in cell 1 and cell 2 according to the configuration information of the MBS in the MCCH content of cell 1 and the MCCH content of cell 2.

[0155] (ii) the cell indication information includes the MCCH content of each first cell, where the MCCH content includes multicast MCCH content or broadcast MCCH content; the user equipment may receive the MBS on the first cell in the following manner:

[0156] The MBS is received according to the configuration information of the MBS in the MCCH content of the first cell.

[0157] Exemplarily, if the cell indication information indicates the unique cell identifier of cell 1, the unique cell identifier of cell 2, the MCCH content of cell 1, and the MCCH content of cell 2. The user equipment receives the MBS on cell 1 and cell 2 according to the configuration information of the MBS in the MCCH content of cell 1 and the MCCH content of cell 2.

[0158] (III) The cell indication information does not include system information for scheduling MCCH in each first cell, nor does it include MCCH content in each first cell; the user equipment may receive the MBS in the first cell in the following manner:

[0159] Receive system information on a first cell; acquire configuration information of the MBS included in the MCCH of the first cell according to the system information; and receive the MBS according to the configuration information.

[0160] Exemplarily, if the cell indication information indicates the unique cell identifier of cell 1 and the unique cell identifier of cell 2. The user equipment can read the system information on cell 1 to obtain the MCCH configuration of cell 1, and read the MCCH content of cell 1 according to the MCCH configuration of cell 1; the user equipment can read the system information on cell 2 to obtain the MCCH configuration of cell 2, and read the MCCH content of cell 2 according to the MCCH configuration of cell 2; the user equipment receives the MBS on cell 1 and cell 2 according to the configuration information of the MBS in the MCCH content of cell 1 and the MCCH content of cell 2.
