Method, device and system for transmitting multicast group information

1. A method for transmitting multicast group information, comprising:

receiving, by a first Common Services Entity (CSE), multicast group information transmitted by an underlying network element, wherein the first CSE comprises a CSE where a group is located; and

setting, by the first CSE, attributes of a multicast group resource locally according to the multicast group information;

wherein the multicast group information at least comprises a multicast address and an address type, which are allocated by the underlying network element;

wherein setting, by the first CSE, the attributes of the multicast group resource locally according to the multicast group information comprises:

setting, by the first CSE, a value of the multicast address as a value of an attribute multicastAddress of the multicast group resource;

setting, by the first CSE, a value of the address type as a value of an attribute addressType of the multicast group resource; and

setting, by the first CSE, a mapping relationship between the multicast address and a fanout request target as a value of an attribute multicastGroupFanoutTarget of the multicast group resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step in which the first CSE receives the multicast group information transmitted by the underlying network element comprises:

receiving, by the first CSE, a response message of multicast service request, which is fed back by the underlying network element through a Network Service Entity (NSE), and carries the multicast group information.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the response message of multicast service request comprises an allocate TMGI response message.

4. The method of claim 1 , after the first CSE sets the attributes of the multicast group resource locally according to the multicast group information, further comprising:

sending, by the first CSE, a create local multicast group resource request to a second CSE, wherein the create local multicast group resource request at least comprises the multicast address, the address type, and the mapping relationship between the multicast address and the fanout request target, and the second CSE comprising a CSE where members are located.

5. The method of claim 4 , after the first CSE sends the create local multicast group resource request to the second CSE, further comprising:

receiving, by the first CSE, a create local multicast group resource response message sent by the second CSE; and

creating, by the first CSE, multicast group information locally according to the create local multicast group resource response message, wherein the multicast group information comprises a multicast type, the multicast address, and the address type.

6. A method for transmitting multicast group information, comprising:

receiving, by a Network Service Entity (NSE), multicast group information transmitted by an underlying network element; and

transmitting, by the NSE, the multicast group information to a first Common Services Entity (CSE) which comprises a CSE where a group is located, to enable the first CSE to set attributes of a multicast group resource locally according to the multicast group information;

wherein the multicast group information at least comprises a multicast address and an address type, which are allocated by the underlying network element;

wherein the attributes of the multicast group resource comprises an attribute multicastAddress, an attribute address Type and an attribute multicastGroupFanoutTarget, and transmitting, by the NSE, the multicast group information to the first CSE, to enable the first CSE to set the attributes of the multicast group resource locally comprises:

to enable the first CSE to set a value of the multicast address as a value of the attribute multicastAddress;

to enable the first CSE to set a value of the address type as a value of the attribute addressType; and

to enable the first CSE to set a mapping relationship between the multicast address and a fanout request target as a value of the attribute multicastGroupFanoutTarget.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the step in which the NSE receives the multicast group information transmitted by the underlying network element comprises:

receiving, by the NSE, a response message of multicast service request, which is fed back by the underlying network element, and carries the multicast group information; and

the step in which the NSE transmits the multicast group information to the first CSE comprises:

feeding, by the NSE, a response message of multicast service request back to the first CSE.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the response message of multicast service request at least comprises the multicast address and the address type.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the response message of multicast service request comprises an allocate TMGI response message.

10. A device for transmitting multicast group information, the device being disposed at a first Common Services Entity (CSE) and comprising:

a receiving module configured to receive multicast group information transmitted by an underlying network element, wherein the first CSE comprises a CSE where a group is located; and

a processing module configured to set attributes of a multicast group resource locally according to the multicast group information;

wherein the multicast group information at least comprises a multicast address and an address type, which are allocated by the underlying network element;

wherein the processing module is configured to:

set a value of the multicast address as a value of an attribute multicastAddress of the multicast group resource;

set a value of the address type as a value of the attribute addressType of the multicast group resource; and

set a mapping relationship between the multicast address and a fanout request target as a value of an attribute multicastGroupFanoutTarget of the multicast group resource.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the receiving module is further configured to receive a response message of multicast service request, which is fed back by the underlying network element through a Network Service Entity (NSE), and carries the multicast group information.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the response message of multicast service request comprises an allocate TMGI response message.

13. The device of claim 10 , wherein the processing module is further configured to send a create local multicast group resource request to a second CSE, wherein the create local multicast group resource request at least comprises the multicast address, the address type, and the mapping relationship between the multicast address and the fanout request target, and the second CSE comprises a CSE where members are located.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the receiving module is further configured to receive a create local multicast group resource response message sent by the second CSE; and

the processing module is further configured to create multicast group information locally according to the create local multicast group resource response message, wherein the multicast group information comprises a multicast type, the multicast address, and the address type.
