称为 MBMS业务)的共同传输来进行实现; 其中, 控制信令将会告知接收 端, 如终端、 用户设备(User Equipment, UE )等相应的控制参数, 指引接 收端到相应的位置去接收其感兴趣的 MBMS业务(即相应的用户数据)。 这种 MBMS控制信令(控制信息, 包括: MBMS业务的配置信息等)在 LTE系统中是通过多播控制信道( Multicast Control Channel , MCCH )来进 行传输的, MBMS 业务是通过多播业务信道(MTCH, Multicast Traffic Channel )来进行传输的。
MCCH重复周期和修改周期的配置参数都是由网络侧进行配置的, 网 路侧通过广播控制信道( Broadcast Control Channel, BCCH ) 中的系统信息 块 13 ( System Information Blockl 3 , SIB 13 )发送给 UE; UE通过读取 BCCH 中的 SIB13可以获知 MCCH重复周期和修改周期的配置参数, UE可以在 相应的位置上读取 MCCH信息。
现有技术中, MBMS控制信令和 MBMS业务是以多播广播单频网络区 域 ( Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network Area, MBSFN Area )来进 行传输的, 在 MBSFN区域中发送控制信令和用户数据将以小区或 eNB为 单位使用 MBSFN技术进行同步发送, 目的是使得 UE在接收时可以获得相 应的合并增益, MBSFN技术需要 MBSFN区域内各个小区在相同的时频资 源上发送相同的数据内容, 这样就需要对各个小区的资源进行统一的调度 和规划。 目前使用多小区 /多播协调实体( Multi-cell/multicast Coordination Entity, MCE ) 网元来进行无线资源的统一调度和规划。
LTE 系统中, 小区只有一个上行载波和下行载波。 在长期演进 -高级 ( Long Term Evolution- Advance, LTE-A ) 阶段, 为了提高上下行的传输速 率,一个 LTE-A小区的上下行可以配置有多个分量载波( Component Carrier, CO , 多个 CC可以汇聚在一起形成最大 100MHz的传输带宽, UE可以在 一个或多个 CC上进行数据收发(取决于 UE自身的能力), 这称为载波聚
合(Carrier Aggregation, CA )。 假设一个 LTE-A小区有多个上下行分量载 波, 那么对于小区内一个处于空闲模式的 UE, 为了简化空闲模式 UE的行 为, 降低 UE的功耗, 所以空闲模式 UE总是驻留在某一个分量载波上。 但 是当 UE进入连接模式以后, 为了能让 UE以更高的速率收发数据, 需要有 一个分量载波激活过程,对载波进行管理,让 UE能同时在多个分量载波上 进行数据调度。
在 CA场景中,相同的地理区域可能部署多个载波。针对一个连接模式 ( Radio Resource Control Connected, RRC Connected ) UE, 可以定义一个 主小区( Primary cell, Pcell)和一个或多个辅小区( Secondary cell, Scell ) , 一个 UE对应的 Pcell和 Scell统称为服务小区( Serving cell )。在 3GPP Rel-10 中具有 MBMS和 CA能力的 UE至少可以在 Pcell上接收 MBMS业务。
图 1 为 MBMS 业务发送的流程示意; 其中第一个阶段为业务公告 ( Service announcement ), 业务公告的目的是向用户发送 MBMS业务的相 关信息, 如业务简介, 业务参数, 业务开始时间等等; 第二阶段为会话开 始 ( Session Start ); 第三阶段为 MBMS业务通知( MBMS notification ); 第 四阶段为数据传输( Data transfer ); 第五阶段为任务结束( Session Stop )。
UE可以处于空闲模式(RRC Idle )或者 RRC Connected进行 MBMS 业务的接收; 为了降低系统负载, MBMS业务可以部署在一个分量载波或 者多个分量载波上。
在多载波环境中传输 MBMS 业务, 存在以下问题: 对于空闲模式的 UE和没有 CA能力的 UE只能驻留在一个 CC上,如果 MBMS部署在另外 的 CC上, 则 UE可能无法接收 MBMS业务; 对于 CA能力受限的 UE, 如 果 MBMS部署在 UE所汇聚 CC之外的 CC上, UE同样无法接收 MBMS 业务。

步驟 408, UE在 CC1上继续向网络侧发送请求, 等待切换到 MBMS 载波小区, 当前处理流程结束;
这里, UE继续发送请求是指 UE接收到网络侧发送的拒绝响应消息后, 等待一段时间, 然后再次发送请求; 其中, 所述 UE发送请求的时间可以在 一段时间内随机确定, 如网络侧定义一个时间 t, 则 UE在( 0, t )时间内, 随机选择一个时间值发送请求;
进一步地, UE可以发送多次请求, 网络侧可以预先设置允许请求次数 N或请求定时器 T来限制 UE发送请求的次数, 当请求次数 =N或者等待时 间 > T, UE仍未进入目标 MBMS载波小区, 则 UE停止发送请求。
应当理解, 当所述 UE为 CA能力有限的 UE, 如 UE的服务小区包括 载波 CC1和 CC2时, MBMS业务部署在 CC1和 CC2之外的其他一个或多
