Background

In the multicast joining process, even if a UE (User Equipment) already has a USD (User Service Description) of a multicast Service (including which content channels and corresponding channel attribute information are provided), the UE still needs to obtain a corresponding TMGI (multicast Group Identity) allocated to the Mobile internet in advance through an application layer or other offline manner, and then can initiate a corresponding multicast Group joining process in the Mobile internet by using the TMGI to receive corresponding channel content data provided by the multicast Service.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, "and/or" in the specification and claims means at least one of connected objects, a character "/" generally means that a preceding and succeeding related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The following describes in detail a processing method of a multicast service provided in the embodiments of the present application through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the embodiment of the present application, the network side function may also be understood as a network side function device.

The method for processing a Multicast service according to the embodiment of the present application is applied to a first Network side Function, where the first Network side Function may be an MB NF (Multicast-Broadcast Network Function).

As shown in fig. 1, a method for processing a multicast service in an embodiment of the present application includes:

step 101, requesting a multicast operation parameter to a second network side function when receiving a join request of a user side device.

Here, after receiving the join request from the ue, the first network side function may request the second network side function for the multicast operation parameters if it knows the requirement of the current user for the multicast service.

Step 102, receiving the multicast operation parameter fed back by the second network side function, and informing the user side device or the base station serving the user side device of the multicast operation parameter.

In this step, after step 101, by receiving a multicast operation parameter that is based on a request feedback by the second network side function, the multicast operation parameter is notified to the user side device and/or the base station serving the user side device, so that the user side device can develop a service based on the multicast operation parameter.

Thus, through the

above steps

101 and 102, when receiving the join request of the ue, the first network side function requests the second network side function to send the multicast operation parameters, and then receives the multicast operation parameters correspondingly fed back by the second network side function, and informs the multicast operation parameters to the ue and/or the base station serving the ue, so as to meet the flexible requirement of the user for the multicast service.

In this embodiment, the second network-side Function is a content provider AF (Application Function). The user side device interacts with the content provider AF in advance through the application layer to obtain the user service description file USD of the multicast service, or the USD of the content provider is preconfigured, so that the user side device can request the specific multicast service like MB NF. The USD includes content information provided by a content provider, such as channel information, content source information, and the like. The channel information may be a channel name, a channel theme, etc. The content source information may be a content summary, a content playing time, and the like.

Optionally, the first network side function forwards the join request received from the user side device to the second network side function, so as to request the multicast operation parameter from the second network side function. The second network side function realizes the feedback of the corresponding multicast operation parameters by sending the join response to the first network side function. And the first network side function forwards the join response to the user side equipment and/or a base station serving the user side equipment. If the base station serving the ue learns the join response but the ue does not receive the join response, the base station may further forward the join response to the ue.

In this embodiment, optionally, the multicast operation parameter includes at least one of:

a multicast group identity (TMGI);

a content source identification;

frequency point information;

service identification;

a service group identifier;

and identifying the service range.

The frequency point information is the frequency point information of the corresponding content sent by the wireless base station. Therefore, the user side equipment can realize the subsequent development of the required multicast service according to the multicast operation parameters. Also, each item in the multicast operation parameter is not limited to one, and may be multiple TMGIs, multiple frequency point information, and the like.

Of course, the multicast operation parameters include, but are not limited to, the above items, and may also include other information required for service development, which is not listed here.

In addition, in this embodiment, in view of an achievable user-side device joining manner, optionally, the joining request includes target content information that the user-side device requests to join; or,

the joining request comprises an internet protocol address of the user side equipment, wherein the internet protocol address is used for the second network side function to obtain target content information from the user side equipment;

the target content information is used for the second network side function to acquire the multicast operation parameter.

Here, the target content information can indicate a requirement of the user-side device for the multicast service, such as channel information, for the second network-side function to obtain the multicast operation parameters corresponding to the requirement. Thus, on the one hand, for a join request including target content information to which the user-side device requests to join, the user-side device may directly send the join request to the first network-side function. On the other hand, for a join request including an internet protocol IP address of a User side device, the User side device may send the join request to a UPF (User Plane Function), and then the UPF notifies the first network side Function of data arrival (carrying received User Plane data), so as to forward the join request.

Moreover, for the join request including the IP address of the ue, the second network function is to implement the feedback of the multicast operation parameters required by the ue, and after the first network function requests the multicast operation parameters, the target content information is obtained from the ue based on the IP address of the ue. Optionally, the second network side function queries the user side device through the application layer, and the user side device returns the target content information to the second network side function through the application layer.

However, if the second network-side function does not acquire the multicast operation parameters required by the ue in advance, the second network-side function needs to acquire the multicast operation parameters from the first network-side function. Thus, optionally, the method further comprises:

and receiving service information of a third network side function, and returning the multicast operation parameters to the third network side function, wherein the multicast operation parameters are distributed according to the service information.

Here, the third network side function is also AF. Of course, the second network side function may be used, and other AFs may also be used. After receiving the service information of the third network side function, the first network side function can dynamically allocate the multicast operation parameters based on the service information and inform the third network side function.

Optionally, the service information includes at least one of:

a source internet protocol address;

the protocol used;

serving a geographic area.

In this way, the third network side function can inform the first network side function of the service information by sending the service request to the first network side function, and perform multicast operation parameter allocation. Of course, the traffic information is not limited to the source IP address, the protocol used, and the geographic location of the service. When the service information includes the source IP address, the service information may further include a port number. The first network side function returns the distributed multicast operation parameters to the third network side function through the service response.

The following describes an application of the method according to the embodiment of the present application with reference to a specific scenario (assuming that the multicast operation parameters include TMGI and frequency point information):

scenario one, as shown in fig. 2, step 1: and the user side equipment UE mutually obtains the USD with the content provider AF through the application layer, or pre-configures the USD of the content provider.

Step 2: the UE sends a join request to the first MB NF, carrying target content information, such as a channel name or a content source name.

And step 3: the first MB NF sends a join request to the AF, carrying the received target content information.

And 4, step 4: if the TMGI of the corresponding content is not obtained in advance through the mobile network or the radio base station sends frequency point information (frequency) of the corresponding content, the AF sends a service request to the second MB NF, where the service request carries service information corresponding to the requested target content information, such as information of a source IP address and a port number (which may be a range), a used protocol, a service geographic range, and the like.

And 5: and the second MB NF distributes corresponding TMGI, frequency point information and the like and returns the TMGI and the frequency point information to the AF through service response.

Step 6: the AF responds to the join request in step 3, sends a join response to the first MB NF, and feeds back TMGIs and frequency point information corresponding to the target content information (i.e. the request content information), which may be multiple TMGIs and multiple frequency point information, and is obtained in step 5, or obtained and stored in the AF in advance.

And 7: the first MB NF sends the TMGI and the frequency point information corresponding to the target content information, which may be multiple TMGIs and multiple frequency point information, to the base station gNB serving the UE.

And 8: the gNB sends the TMGI and the frequency point information corresponding to the target content information to the UE, wherein the TMGI and the frequency point information can be a plurality of TMGIs and a plurality of frequency point information. This information may be sent to the UE by forwarding the message sent to the UE by the first MB NF, or may be sent to the UE as received in step 7.

As shown in fig. 3, scenario two: step 1: the UE interacts with the content provider AF through the application layer to obtain the USD, or the USD of the content provider is pre-configured.

Step 2: the UE sends a join request through the user plane to the UPF, for example, sends a join request of an internet group management protocol IGMP, and the source IP address is the IP address of the UE.

And step 3: the UPF notifies the first MB NF of the data arrival, carrying the received user plane data.

And 4, step 4: the first MB NF sends a joining request to the AF, and carries the IP address information of the UE.

And 5: the AF queries the UE for target content information through the application layer.

Step 6: and the UE returns the target content information to the AF through the application layer.

Steps 7-11 are the same as steps 4-8 of scenario one.

In scenarios one and two, the second MB NF may be the first MB NF.

To sum up, in the method of the embodiment of the present application, when receiving a join request from a ue, a first network side function receives a multicast operation parameter correspondingly fed back by a second network side function after requesting the multicast operation parameter from the second network side function, and informs the multicast operation parameter to the ue and/or a base station serving the ue, thereby meeting flexible requirements of a user on a multicast service.
