Abstract

Disclosed are a method, system, evolved Node B (eNB) and User Equipment (UE) for implementing service scheduling. The method includes: an eNB sends time-domain scheduling information of Single Cell-Point To Multipoint (SC-PTM) Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) to a UE, the time-domain scheduling information is used for indicating a position of a time-domain subframe where the MBMS is located, and a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of the time-domain subframe includes frequency-domain scheduling information of the MBMS. A UE receives time-domain scheduling information, performs blind detection at a position of a time-domain subframe indicated by the time-domain scheduling information, determines a PDCCH including frequency-domain scheduling information of MBMS, and reads the frequency-domain scheduling information on the PDCCH. The UE receives the MBMS on a Physical Downlink Share Channel (PDSCH) on the basis of the read frequency-domain scheduling information.

wherein the broadcast message is a System Information Block, SIB, 13, a new SIB or an MCCH.

5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising:

when two or more S-MTCHs are multiplexed in the same subframe, or an S-MCCH and an S-MTCH are multiplexed, or an S-MTCH and a unicast service are multiplexed, identifying and distinguishing a different logical channel according to a Logical Channel Identifier, LCID in a subframe Media Access Control, MAC, header.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the position of the time-domain subframe comprises: a frame period where the time-domain subframe is located, and an offset of the time-domain subframe in the frame period.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

when the time-domain scheduling information is MSCH information, the method further comprises:

indicating, by the eNB, configuration information of the MSCH information through the S-MCCH, wherein the time-domain scheduling information is put on the MSCH;

when the time-domain scheduling information is MSI, the method further comprises:

indicating, by the eNB, configuration information of an MAC Control Element, CE, where the MSI is located through the S-MCCH, wherein the time-domain scheduling information is put on the MAC CE;

when the time-domain scheduling information is S-MCCH information, the method further comprises:

indicating, by the eNB, configuration information of the S-MCCH information through a system broadcast message SIB or an MCCH,

wherein

the configuration information of the MSCH information comprises: an offset position of a subframe where the MSCH information is located, and a frame period of the subframe where the MSCH information is located,
