Technical field

本发明涉及通信技术领域, 尤其涉及一种用户设备(UE, User Equipment ) 获得多播控制信道(MCCH, Multicast Control Channel ) 的技术。 背景技术  The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a technology for a user equipment (UE, User Equipment) to obtain a multicast control channel (MCCH). Background technique

长期演进 ( LTE , Long Term Evolution ) 系统中的多媒体广播组播业务 ( MBMS, Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service ) 又被称为演进的 MBMS ( eMBMS, evolved MBMS ), 主要功能是在 LTE系统中实现广播和多播业务。 目前, 版本 9 ( R9 ) 的 MBMS主要通过混合小区实现, 即传输 MBMS业务的 小区, 也传输单播业务。  The Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system is also known as the evolved MBMS (eMBMS, evolved MBMS). The main function is to implement broadcast and LTE in the LTE system. Broadcast business. Currently, MBMS of Release 9 (R9) is mainly implemented by a hybrid cell, that is, a cell that transmits MBMS services, and also transmits a unicast service.

eMBMS相关的逻辑信道包括:  The logical channels related to eMBMS include:

( 1 ) 广播控制信道(BCCH, Broadcast Control Channel ), 用于网络向终 端 (UE ) 广播系统信息, 即系统信息通过 BCCH传输。  (1) Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH), used for the network to broadcast system information to the terminal (UE), that is, system information is transmitted through the BCCH.

( 2 ) 多播控制信道(MCCH, Multicast Control Channel ), 是一个点到多 点( point-to-multipoint )的下行信道, 用于网络向 UE传输 MBMS相关的控制 信息, 该信道只有能接收 MBMS业务的 UE才可以使用。  (2) The Multicast Control Channel (MCCH) is a point-to-multipoint downlink channel used by the network to transmit MBMS-related control information to the UE. The channel can only receive MBMS. The UE of the service can be used.

( 3 )多播业务信道( MTCH, Multicast Traffic Channel ), 是一个点到多点 的下行信道,用于网络向 UE传输 MBMS业务数据,该信道只有能接收 MBMS 业务的 UE才可以使用。  (3) Multicast Traffic Channel (MTCH) is a point-to-multipoint downlink channel used by the network to transmit MBMS service data to the UE. The channel can only be used by UEs that can receive MBMS services.

一个 MCCH可以对应于一个或多个 MTCH。 MTCH的信息是由其对应的 MCCH指示的。 网络利用 BCCH向 UE指示 MCCH, 再利用 MCCH向 UE指示 MTCH, 从而使 UE正确接收在 MTCH上承载的 MBMS业务。 One MCCH may correspond to one or more MTCHs. The information of the MTCH is indicated by its corresponding MCCH. The network indicates the MCCH to the UE by using the BCCH, and then uses the MCCH to indicate the MTCH to the UE, so that the UE correctly receives the MBMS service carried on the MTCH.

在 3G系统中规定的 MCCH传输方式中, 如图 1所示, 其中, 每个小方块 表示 MCCH承载的信息, MCCH承载的信息是以 MCCH的修改周期和 MCCH 的重复周期的方式进行传输的, 在 MCCH的修改周期内 MCCH承载的信息不 变, 并且为了保证 MCCH的可靠接收, 以 MCCH的重复周期进行重传, UE 在 MCCH的修改周期内可以接收到多个相同的信息, 只要正确接收一次就可 以正确解读出 MCCH承载的信息。 在 MCCH的不同修改周期之间, MCCH承 载的信息可以不同, 但也可以相同, 即每个 MCCH的修改周期到来时, 网络 可以修改 MCCH承载的信息, 也可以不修改 MCCH承载的信息。  In the MCCH transmission mode specified in the 3G system, as shown in FIG. 1 , each small square represents information carried by the MCCH, and the information carried by the MCCH is transmitted in a manner of a modification period of the MCCH and a repetition period of the MCCH. The information carried by the MCCH is unchanged during the modification period of the MCCH, and in order to ensure reliable reception of the MCCH, the UE retransmits in the repetition period of the MCCH, and the UE can receive multiple identical information in the MCCH modification period, as long as the correct reception is performed once. The information carried by the MCCH can be correctly interpreted. The information carried by the MCCH may be different between the different modification periods of the MCCH, but may be the same. That is, when the modification period of each MCCH arrives, the network may modify the information carried by the MCCH, or may not modify the information carried by the MCCH.

当前 LTE协议规定了频分双工 (FDD )和时分双工 (TDD ) 的寻呼格式 ( paging pattern ),下面的表 1所示为 FDD的寻呼格式,表 2所示为 TDD的寻 呼格式:  The current LTE protocol specifies a paging pattern for Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD). Table 1 below shows the paging format of FDD, and Table 2 shows the paging of TDD. Format:

Figure imgf000004_0002
Figure imgf000004_0002

Figure imgf000004_0001
Figure imgf000004_0003
Figure imgf000004_0001
Figure imgf000004_0003

表 2  Table 2

其中, 寻呼机会(PO, Paging occasion )就是用户寻呼可能出现的子帧, 因此也可以称为寻呼子帧。 由上面的两个表可以看出, 对于 FDD 系统, 所有 用户的寻呼只可能发生在子帧 #0、 #4、 #5和 #9。 而对于 TDD系统, 所有用户 的寻呼只可能发生在子帧 #0、 #1、 #5和 #6。 The paging opportunity (PO, Paging occasion) is a subframe in which a user paging may occur, and thus may also be referred to as a paging subframe. As can be seen from the two tables above, for FDD systems, all User paging can only occur in subframes #0, #4, #5, and #9. For TDD systems, paging for all users may only occur in subframes #0, #1, #5, and #6.

在 LTE R9中引入了 MBMS通知 ( MBMS Notification )机制, 具体包括: 如图 2所示, 当有 MBMS的会话开始 (Session Start ) 时, 网络会向 UE 发送通知( Notification )信息, 即通过 Notification子帧通知 UE有新的 MBMS 会话开始了, UE在收到 Notification信息的下一个 MCCH 的修改周期读取 MCCH, 从 MBSFN子帧中获得会话 ( Session ) 的具体信息, 如果 UE对该 MBMS业务感兴趣,则根据 MCCH的内容,读取相应的 MTCH,接收该 MBMS 业务。  The MBMS Notification (MBMS Notification) mechanism is introduced in the LTE R9, and specifically includes: as shown in FIG. 2, when there is a Session Start of the MBMS, the network sends a notification information to the UE, that is, through the Notification sub- The frame informs the UE that a new MBMS session has started. The UE reads the MCCH in the modification period of the next MCCH that receives the Notification information, and obtains the specific information of the session (Session) from the MBSFN subframe. If the UE is interested in the MBMS service, Then, according to the content of the MCCH, the corresponding MTCH is read to receive the MBMS service.

在物理层的物理下行控制信道(PDCCH ) 中定义 MBMS无线网络临时标 识( M-RNTI ),用于传输 Notification信息,也就是说,如果有会话开始( Session Start ), 则网络会在图 2中的 Notification子帧中的 PDCCH设置 M-RNTI, 用 于通知 UE有新的 MBMS业务会话开始了。 对于当前没有接收 MBMS业务的 UE, 收到 Notification信息之后, 将在下一个修改周期读取 MCCH, 如果这种 UE没有收到 Notification信息, 则它会继续监听 Notification子帧, 而不会读取 MCCH。 对于正在接收 MBMS业务的 UE, 在每个 MCCH修改周期都需要读 取 MCCH信息, 不需要监听 Notification子帧。  An MBMS Radio Network Temporary Identity (M-RNTI) is defined in a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of the physical layer for transmitting Notification information, that is, if there is a Session Start, the network will be in FIG. The PDCCH in the Notification subframe sets the M-RNTI to notify the UE that a new MBMS service session has started. For a UE that does not currently receive the MBMS service, after receiving the notification information, the MCCH will be read in the next modification period. If the UE does not receive the notification information, it will continue to monitor the Notification subframe without reading the MCCH. For the UE that is receiving the MBMS service, the MCCH information needs to be read in each MCCH modification period, and the Notification subframe does not need to be monitored.

但是, 如果 UE在一个 MCCH修改周期中只监听一次 Notification信息, 那么如果该信息丟失, 则 UE 不会在下一个修改周期读取 MCCH, 从而导致 UE丢失 MBMS业务。 因此, 只有当 UE正确接收到 Notification信息之后, 才 会正常接收 MCCH, 及时了解 MBMS业务变化的信息, 否则, 就会导致 UE 丟失 MBMS业务。 而目前, 如何保证 UE对 Notification信息的可靠接收(即 鲁棒性),从而避免 UE丢失 MBMS业务的情况,还没有给出具体的解决方案。 发明内容  However, if the UE only listens to the notification information once in an MCCH modification period, if the information is lost, the UE does not read the MCCH in the next modification period, thereby causing the UE to lose the MBMS service. Therefore, only after the UE correctly receives the notification information, it will receive the MCCH normally and know the information of the MBMS service change in time. Otherwise, the UE will lose the MBMS service. At present, how to ensure the UE's reliable reception (ie, robustness) of the notification information, thereby avoiding the UE losing the MBMS service, has not yet given a specific solution. Summary of the invention

本发明实施例提供了一种 UE读取 MCCH的方法、 系统及装置,用以保证 UE对 Notification信息的正确接收,从而使得 UE可以及时读取 MCCH并获得 MBMS,提高 UE接收 MBMS的鲁棒性, 降低了 UE丟失 MBMS业务的概率。 下面结合附图对本发明实施例提供的技术方案进行说明。 The embodiment of the invention provides a method, a system and a device for a UE to read an MCCH, so as to ensure that the UE correctly receives the notification information, so that the UE can read the MCCH in time and obtain The MBMS improves the robustness of the UE receiving the MBMS and reduces the probability that the UE loses the MBMS service. The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

参见图 3,本发明实施例提供的一种 UE读取 MCCH信息的方法包括步骤: S 101、 基站确定当前存在新的 MBMS的 Session Start  Referring to FIG. 3, a method for a UE to read MCCH information according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: Step S101: A base station determines that a new MBMS session is currently present.

5102、 基站在一个 MCCH修改周期中发送多次用于通知 UE读取 MCCH 信息的 Notification信息给 UE。  5102. The base station sends, in an MCCH modification period, multiple pieces of notification information used to notify the UE to read the MCCH information to the UE.

5103、 UE在一个 MCCH修改周期中多次监听基站发送的 Notification信 息, 并根据监听到的 Notification信息, 读取 MCCH信息。  5103. The UE monitors the notification information sent by the base station multiple times in an MCCH modification period, and reads the MCCH information according to the monitored notification information.

本发明实施例中, 将携带有 Notification信息的子帧, 称为 Notification子 帧。  In the embodiment of the present invention, the subframe carrying the notification information is called a Notification subframe.

Notification子巾贞,■每个 Notification子 "I"贞携带一次 Notification信息, Notification 信息可以是 M-RNTI。 Notification Sub-frame, ■ Each Notification sub-I" carries a Notification message, and the Notification information can be M-RNTI.

其中, 本发明实施例中所述的特定子帧, 可以是由基站预先设置的, 并通 过系统信息广播通知给 UE, 或者也可以是由基站和 UE预先约定好的。  The specific subframes in the embodiment of the present invention may be preset by the base station, and may be notified to the UE through system information broadcast, or may be pre-agreed by the base station and the UE.

较佳地, 当有 MBMS的 Session Start时, 基站在当前或者下一个 MCCH 修改周期中发送 N( N>1 )次 Notification信息,如果没有 MBMS的 Session Start, 则基站不发送 Notification信息。  Preferably, when there is a MBMS Session Start, the base station sends N (N>1) notification information in the current or next MCCH modification period. If there is no MBMS Session Start, the base station does not send the notification information.

较佳地, UE可以在任一个 MCCH修改周期内, 监听 Notification子帧 M 次, 其中, 1<M<=N, 也就是说, UE监听 Notification信息的次数可以小于或 等于基站发送 Notification信息的次数。其中, M的值可以是 UE自身预先设置 的, 或者是基站设置的, 并通过系统信息广播通知给 UE的。  Preferably, the UE may monitor the Notification subframe M times in any one of the MCCH modification periods, where 1<M<=N, that is, the number of times the UE listens to the notification information may be less than or equal to the number of times the base station sends the notification information. The value of M may be preset by the UE itself, or set by the base station, and notified to the UE by using system information broadcast.

如果基站利用所有用户的寻呼子帧发送 Notification信息, 则 UE在一个 MCCH周期内, 监听 M次寻呼子帧。  If the base station transmits the notification information by using the paging subframe of all users, the UE listens for the M paging subframes within one MCCH period.

如果 UE在所监听的 Notification子帧中检测到了 Notification信息, 则该 UE将在下一个 MCCH周期读取 MCCH信息;如果 UE没有检测到 Notification 信息, 则该 UE将在下一个 MCCH周期继续监听 Notification子帧, 而不读取 MCCH信息。 If the UE detects the Notification information in the monitored Notification subframe, the The UE will read the MCCH information in the next MCCH cycle; if the UE does not detect the Notification information, the UE will continue to listen to the Notification subframe in the next MCCH cycle without reading the MCCH information.

较佳地, 如果 UE在预先设置的等待 Notification时间内一直没有监听到 Notification信息, 则在最近的下一个 MCCH修改周期主动读取一次 MCCH。  Preferably, if the UE has not monitored the notification information within the preset waiting notification time, the MCCH is actively read once in the next MCCH modification period.

所述的预先设置的等待 Notification 时间, 可以根据业务属性配置, 不同 的业务可以对应不同的等待 Notification时间。不同业务与不同等待 Notification 时间的对应关系可以由基站通过系统信息广播通知给 UE, 也可以由 UE根据 预存的设置信息确定的。  The preset waiting for notification time may be configured according to service attributes, and different services may correspond to different waiting notification times. The correspondence between different services and different waiting notification times may be notified to the UE by the base station through system information broadcast, or may be determined by the UE according to the pre-stored setting information.

下面给出三个具体的实施例:  Three specific embodiments are given below:

实施例 1: 基站在所有用户的寻呼子帧发送 Notification信息。  Embodiment 1: The base station transmits Notification information in the paging subframe of all users.

如图 4所示, 假设 MBSFN区域中的一个 MCCH ^爹改周期为 2.56秒( s ), 一个 MCCH重复周期为 640 毫秒(ms ), 某个小区的缺省寻呼周期(default paging cycle )也是 640ms (缺省寻呼周期和重复周期的长度也可以不同), 该 小区的基站将通过系统广播将 MCCH的修改周期、 重复周期以及缺省寻呼周 期通知小区内的 UE。  As shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that one MCCH^ tampering period in the MBSFN area is 2.56 seconds (s), and one MCCH repetition period is 640 milliseconds (ms), and the default paging cycle of a certain cell is also 640ms (The length of the default paging cycle and the repetition period may also be different), the base station of the cell will notify the UE in the cell of the modification period, the repetition period, and the default paging cycle of the MCCH through system broadcast.

假设当前 MBSFN区域中存在两种业务, 第一种业务的持续时间较短, 为 5分钟, 对应的 "等待 Notification时间" 为 10秒, 即如果 UE在 10秒内没有 收到第一种业务的 Notification信息, 则在最近的下一个 MCCH 改周期主动 读取 MCCH;第二种业务的持续时间较长,为 2小时,对应的 "等待 Notification 时间" 为 5分钟, 即如果 UE在 5分钟之内没有收到第二种业务的 Notification 信息, 则在最近的下一个 MCCH修改周期主动读取 MCCH。 基站将这两种业 务对应的 "等待 Notification时间" 通过系统信息广播给 UE。  Assume that there are two types of services in the current MBSFN area. The duration of the first type of service is shorter, 5 minutes, and the corresponding "waiting for notification time" is 10 seconds, that is, if the UE does not receive the first type of service within 10 seconds. Notification information, the MCCH is actively read in the next MCCH change cycle; the second service has a longer duration of 2 hours, and the corresponding "waiting for notification time" is 5 minutes, that is, if the UE is within 5 minutes If the notification information of the second service is not received, the MCCH is actively read in the next MCCH modification period. The base station broadcasts the "waiting for notification time" corresponding to the two services to the UE through the system information.

对于 FDD系统( TDD系统同理) 的小区, 所有用户的寻呼只可能发生在 子帧 #0、 #4、 #5和 #9, 即每一无线帧的子帧 #0、 #4、 #5和 #9为寻呼子帧, 如 果当前 MCCH修改周期中有新的 MBMS业务会话开始, 则该小区的基站将在 下一个 MCCH修改周期中的所有寻呼子帧中发送 Notification信息。具体来说, 就是该小区的基站将在下一个 2.56s的 MCCH修改周期中的每一个 640ms的缺 省寻呼周期内的所有无线帧的子帧 #0、 #4、 #5和 #9中发送 Notification信息, 总的发送次数为: N = 4 X 2.56/0.64 = 16。 该 Notification信息以 M-RNTI的形 式存在于这些子帧的 PDCCH中。 然后,基站将会在发送 Notification信息之后 的下一个 MCCH 4 改周期中发送新的 MCCH。 For cells in the FDD system (same as the TDD system), paging for all users may only occur in subframes #0, #4, #5, and #9, that is, subframes #0, #4, # of each radio frame. 5 and #9 are paging subframes. If a new MBMS service session starts in the current MCCH modification period, the base station of the cell will send Notification information in all paging subframes in the next MCCH modification period. Specifically, That is, the base station of the cell will send Notification information in subframes #0, #4, #5, and #9 of all radio frames in each of the 640 ms default paging periods in the next 2.56s MCCH modification period, The number of transmissions is: N = 4 X 2.56/0.64 = 16. The Notification information exists in the PDCCH of these subframes in the form of M-RNTI. The base station will then send a new MCCH in the next MCCH 4 change cycle after sending the Notification message.

拥有 MBMS业务接收能力、 但当前没有接收 MBMS业务的 UE, 将在自 己的寻呼机会 ( Paging occasion ), 即每个寻呼子帧监听 Notification信息, 假 设 UE 的寻呼周期为 640ms, 则在一个 MCCH修改周期内, UE 需要监听 Notification信息的总次数为: M = 2.56/0.64 = 4。如果 UE在某个寻呼子帧正确 接收了 Notification 信息, 则不需要再继续监听后续的寻呼子帧中是否有 Notification信息, 只需要在下一个 MCCH修改周期接收新的 MCCH即可。  A UE that has the MBMS service receiving capability but does not currently receive the MBMS service will listen to the Notification information in its own paging occasion, that is, each paging subframe, assuming that the paging period of the UE is 640 ms, then in an MCCH During the modification period, the total number of times the UE needs to listen for Notification information is: M = 2.56/0.64 = 4. If the UE correctly receives the notification information in a paging subframe, it does not need to continue to monitor whether there is a notification information in the subsequent paging subframe, and only needs to receive a new MCCH in the next MCCH modification period.

假设 UE需要接收的 MBMS业务种类是第二种业务,则如果 UE在 5分钟 之内都没有收到第二种业务的 Notification信息, 例如, 由于信道质量差引起 Notification信息丢失, 则 UE可以主动在最近的下一个 MCCH修改周期主动 读取一次 MCCH。  Assuming that the type of the MBMS service that the UE needs to receive is the second type of service, if the UE does not receive the notification information of the second service within 5 minutes, for example, the notification information is lost due to the poor channel quality, the UE may actively The MCCH is actively read once in the next MCCH modification period.

由于本实施例 1中 UE在一个 MCCH修改周期中可以监听 4次 Notification 信息, 可以更可靠的接收 Notification信息,保证了 Notification信息的鲁棒性, 使得 UE可以及时接收新的 MCCH, 获得 MBMS业务会话开始信息。 另外, 如果在一段时间(如第二种业务对应的 5分钟)之内, UE没有收到 Notification 信息, 则还会主动读取一次 MCCH信息, 这样, 即使 Notification信息没有到 达 UE, UE也可以及时读取 MCCH信息, 进一步避免了 UE丢失 MBMS业务 的情况。  In the first embodiment, the UE can monitor the notification information four times in an MCCH modification period, so that the notification information can be received more reliably, and the robustness of the notification information is ensured, so that the UE can receive the new MCCH in time and obtain the MBMS service session. Start message. In addition, if the UE does not receive the notification information within a period of time (such as 5 minutes corresponding to the second service), the UE will actively read the MCCH information again, so that the UE can be timely even if the notification information does not reach the UE. The MCCH information is read to further avoid the situation in which the UE loses the MBMS service.

实施例 2: 基站在特定子帧发送 Notification信息。  Embodiment 2: A base station transmits Notification information in a specific subframe.

如图 5所示, 假设 MBSFN区域中的一个 MCCH修改周期为 2.56s, 重复 周期为 640ms, 某个小区的缺省寻呼周期(default paging cycle )是 640ms, 该 小区的基站通过系统广播将 MCCH的修改周期、 重复周期以及缺省寻呼周期 通知小区内的 UE。 假设当前 MBSFN区域中存在两种业务, 第一种业务的持续时间较短, 为 5分钟, 对应的 "等待 Notification时间" 为 10秒, 即如果 UE在 10秒内没有 收到第一种业务的 Notification信息, 则在最近的下一个 MCCH修改周期主动 读取 MCCH;第二种业务的持续时间较长,为 2小时,对应的 "等待 Notification 时间" 为 5分钟, 即如果 UE在 5分钟之内没有收到第二种业务的 Notification 信息, 则在最近的下一个 MCCH修改周期主动读取 MCCH。 基站将这两种业 务对应的 "等待 Notification时间" 通过系统信息广播给 UE。 As shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that one MCCH modification period in the MBSFN area is 2.56s, the repetition period is 640ms, and the default paging cycle of a certain cell is 640ms, and the base station of the cell broadcasts the MCCH through the system broadcast. The modification period, the repetition period, and the default paging period notify the UEs in the cell. Assume that there are two types of services in the current MBSFN area. The duration of the first type of service is shorter, 5 minutes, and the corresponding "waiting for notification time" is 10 seconds, that is, if the UE does not receive the first type of service within 10 seconds. Notification information, the MCCH is actively read in the next MCCH modification period; the second service has a longer duration of 2 hours, and the corresponding "waiting for notification time" is 5 minutes, that is, if the UE is within 5 minutes If the notification information of the second service is not received, the MCCH is actively read in the next MCCH modification period. The base station broadcasts the "waiting for notification time" corresponding to the two services to the UE through the system information.

对于 FDD系统(TDD系统同理) 的小区, 假设基站已经与 UE预先约定 或基站通过系统广播通知 Notification信息只会出现在 MCCH修改周期的最后 N个单播子帧中,假设 N =5 , 如果有新的 MBMS业务会话开始, 则该小区的 基站将在下一个(或者当前) MCCH修改周期中的最后 5 个单播子帧中发送 Notification信息。 该 Notification信息以 M-RNTI 的形式存在于这些子帧的 PDCCH中。 然后, 基站将会在发送 Notification信息之后的下一个 MCCH修 改周期中发送新的 MCCH。  For the cell of the FDD system (the same TDD system), it is assumed that the base station has previously agreed with the UE or the base station notifies the Notification information through the system broadcast that it will only appear in the last N unicast subframes of the MCCH modification period, assuming N=5, if When a new MBMS service session begins, the base station of the cell will send Notification information in the last 5 unicast subframes in the next (or current) MCCH modification period. The Notification information exists in the PDCCH of these subframes in the form of M-RNTI. The base station will then send a new MCCH in the next MCCH modification cycle after the Notification message is sent.

拥有 MBMS业务接收能力、 但当前没有接收 MBMS业务的 UE, 将在每 个 MCCH修改周期的最后 5个单播子帧中监听 M次 Notification信息,假设预 先设置 M = 4。 如果 UE在 M个单播子帧中的任意一个子帧中成功收到了 Notification信息, 则不需要再继续监听后续子帧中是否有 Notification信息, 只需要在下一个 MCCH修改周期接收新的 MCCH即可。  A UE that has the MBMS service receiving capability but does not currently receive the MBMS service will listen to M notification information in the last five unicast subframes of each MCCH modification period, assuming that M = 4 is set in advance. If the UE successfully receives the notification information in any one of the M unicast subframes, it does not need to continue to monitor whether there is any notification information in the subsequent subframe, and only needs to receive a new MCCH in the next MCCH modification period. .

假设 UE需要接收的 MBMS业务种类是第二种业务,则如果 UE在 5分钟 之内都没有收到第二种业务的 Notification信息, 例如, 由于信道盾量差引起 Notification信息丟失, 则 UE可以主动在最近的下一个 MCCH 4 改周期主动 读取一次 MCCH。  It is assumed that the type of the MBMS service that the UE needs to receive is the second type of service. If the UE does not receive the notification information of the second service within 5 minutes, for example, the notification information is lost due to the channel shield difference, the UE can take the initiative. The MCCH is actively read once in the next MCCH 4 change cycle.

由于本实施例 2中 UE在一个 MCCH修改周期中可以监听 4次 Notification 信息, 可以更可靠的接收 Notification信息,保证了 Notification信息的鲁棒性, 使得 UE可以及时接收新的 MCCH, 获得 MBMS业务会话开始信息。 另外, 如果在一段时间(如第二种业务对应的 5分钟)之内, UE没有收到 Notification 信息, 则还会主动读取一次 MCCH信息, 这样, 即使 Notification信息没有到 达 UE, UE也可以及时读取 MCCH信息, 进一步避免了 UE丢失 MBMS业务 的情况。 In the embodiment 2, the UE can monitor the notification information four times in an MCCH modification period, so that the notification information can be received more reliably, and the robustness of the notification information is ensured, so that the UE can receive the new MCCH in time and obtain the MBMS service session. Start message. In addition, if the UE does not receive Notification within a certain period of time (such as 5 minutes corresponding to the second service) The information also actively reads the MCCH information once, so that even if the notification information does not reach the UE, the UE can read the MCCH information in time, further avoiding the situation in which the UE loses the MBMS service.

实施例 3:基站在所有用户的寻呼子帧和特定子帧均发送 Notification信息。 实施例 3的技术方案, 即实施例 1和实施例 2的技术方案的结合, 也就是 说, 实施例 3在实施例 1和实施例 2的基础上进一步增加了 Notification信息 发送的次数, 基站在所有用户的寻呼子帧和特定子帧均发送 Notification信息。  Embodiment 3: A base station sends notification information in a paging subframe and a specific subframe of all users. The technical solution of Embodiment 3, that is, the combination of the technical solutions of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, that is, Embodiment 3 further increases the number of times Notification information is transmitted on the basis of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, and the base station is Notification information is sent by the paging subframe and the specific subframe of all users.

UE可以自主选择在哪些子帧监听 Notification信息, 例如, 在寻呼子帧或 特定子帧监听 Notification信息, 或者在寻呼子帧监听若干次的 Notification信 息, 并在特定子帧监听若干次的 Notification信息。 如杲总的监听次数还是 M 的话, 这种技术方案可以增加 UE监听 Notification信息的灵活性; 如果总的监 听次数大于 M次的话, 可以进一步提高 Notification信息的鲁棒性。  The UE can independently select which subframes to listen to Notification information, for example, to listen to Notification information in a paging subframe or a specific subframe, or to listen to Notification information several times in a paging subframe, and to monitor Notification in a certain subframe several times. information. If the total number of monitoring times is M, the technical solution can increase the flexibility of the UE to monitor the notification information; if the total number of monitoring times is greater than M times, the robustness of the notification information can be further improved.
