Scheduling method and scheduling device for MBMS, and base station including this scheduling device

1. A scheduling method for multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS), comprising:

configuring service specific information and service scheduling information separately from MBMS service data to form an MBMS control channel (MCCH) control message of an MBMS control channel; and

transmitting the MCCH control message and the MBMS service data to a receiving end,

wherein the service specific information and the service scheduling information are applied with a single-frequency network (SFN) combining scheme and wherein the SFN combining scheme comprises SFN level combination, SFN area level combination and SFN area intersection level combination.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the MCCH control message further comprises general information which is SFN level combinable.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the general information comprises radio bearer RB configuration information, frequency information, timer information and trigger information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the MCCH control message further comprises SFN area IDs which are SFN area intersection level combinable.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the MCCH control message further comprises cell specific information which includes a service list.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the service list is SFN area intersection level combinable.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the MCCH control message further comprises counting information which is cell level combinable for counting in on/off manner.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the service specific information and the service scheduling information which are applied with SFN area intersection level combination is added before all of the MBMS service data in a scheduling period.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the service specific information and the service scheduling information which are applied with SFN area level combination is added respectively before each of the MBMS service data in a scheduling period.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the MCCH control message is not based on reservation.

11. A scheduling device for multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS), comprising:

an MBMS control channel (MCCH) control message processor for configuring service specific information and service scheduling information separately from MBMS service data to form an MCCH control message of an MBMS control channel; and

a transmitter for transmitting the MCCH control message and the MBMS service data to a receiving end,

wherein the service specific information and the service scheduling information are applied with a single-frequency network (SFN) combining scheme and wherein the SFN combining scheme comprises SFN level combination, SFN area level combination and SFN area intersection level combination.

12. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the MCCH control message further comprises general information which is SFN level combinable.

13. The device according to claim 12 , wherein the general information comprises radio bearer RB configuration information, frequency information, timer information and trigger information.

14. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the MCCH control message further comprises SFN area IDs which are SFN area intersection level combinable.

15. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the MCCH control message further comprises cell specific information which includes a service list.

16. The device according to claim 15 , wherein the service list is SFN area intersection level combinable.

17. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the MCCH control message further comprises counting information which is cell level combinable for counting in on/off manner.

18. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the scheduling device adds the service specific information and the service scheduling information which are applied with SFN area level combination are added before all of the MBMS service data in a scheduling period.

19. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the scheduling device adds the service specific information and the service scheduling information which are applied with SFN area level combination is added respectively before each of the MBMS service data in a scheduling period.

20. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the MCCH control message is not based on reservation.

21. The device according to claim 11 , implemented in a base station.
