Abstract

A method and device for realizing MBMS control signaling transmission in MBSFN manner are provided in the present invention. Wherein, a base station transmits multimedia broadcast multicast service MBMS control signaling in MBSFN manner, preferably, the base station multiplexes MBMS control signaling and MBMS service data in a same MBSFN subframe, and transmits them according to an adjustment period and/or a repetition period. Then, a mobile station receives the MBMS control signaling at the corresponding MBSFN subframe according to the adjustment period and/or the repetition period. With the solution of the present invention, MBMS control signaling transmission in MBSFN manner is realized.

Claims (28)

1 . A method, in a base station in wireless telecommunication network, to control MCCH control signaling transmission, wherein the method comprises:

B. transmitting MCCH control signaling in MBSFN manner.

2 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the step B further comprises:

transmitting MCCH control signaling in MBSFN manner, according to a modification period and/or repetition period.

3 . A method according to claim 2 , wherein the modification period and/or repetition period related information is sent via a system message.

4 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises the following step before the step B:

A. multiplexing MTCH control signaling and MCCH control signaling in one MBSFN subframe;

the step B further comprises: transmitting the MCCH control signaling which is multiplexed in the same MBSFN sub-frame with MTCH control signaling.

5 . A method according to claim 4 , wherein the step A further comprises:

A1. generating a first TB according to MCCH control signaling, and a second TB according to MTCH control signaling, wherein the first TB and the second TB are multiplexed in one MBSFN subframe.

6 . A method according to claim 5 , wherein the MBSFN subframe comprises indication information, the indication information including the position and the modulation and coding scheme of the first TB.

7 . A method according to claim 6 , wherein the indication information further includes notification of whether a new MBMS is generated or not.

8 . (canceled)

9 . A method according to claim 5 , wherein the method further comprises allocating fixed time frequency resources in the MBSFN to the first TB.

10 . A method according to claim 4 , wherein the step A further comprises:

A1′. generating a third TB according to MCCH control signaling and MTCH control signaling.

11 . A method according to claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises determining the modulation and coding scheme of the third TB, according to the QoS of MCCH control signaling.

12 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the step B further comprises:

A′. packetizing MCCH control signaling exclusively into one MBSFN subframe;

the step B further comprises:

transmitting the MCCH control signaling which is packetizing exclusively into the MBSFN subframe.

13 . A method, in a mobile station, of receiving MCCH control signaling, wherein the mobile station receives the system message from the base station, the system message comprising the modification period and/or repetition period related information, wherein the method comprises:

a. receiving MCCH control signaling from a corresponding MBSFN subframe, according to the modification period and/or the repetition period.

14 . A method according to claim 13 , wherein the MBSFN subframe includes indicating information, the indicating information including the information for indicating the position and the modulation and coding scheme of MCCH control signaling, the method further comprises the following step after the step a:

b. decoding MCCH control signaling, according to the position related information and the modulation and coding scheme.

15 . A control apparatus, in a base station in wireless telecommunication network, to control MCCH control signaling transmission, comprising:

sending means, for transmitting MCCH control signaling in MBSFN manner.

16 .- 30 . (canceled)
