Method and apparatus for transmitting data
A method for transmitting data includes: acquiring a Multicast and Broadcast Service Mapping Information Element (MBS_MAP_IE) and MBS data corresponding to the MBS_MAP_IE; wherein the MBS_MAP_IE carries a parameter for indicating the frame position of the next MBS_MAP_IE; setting a sleep duration according to the parameter for indicating the frame position of the next MBS_MAP_IE; and acquiring the next MBS_MAP_IE and MBS data corresponding to the next MBS_MAP_IE when the sleep duration expires. By applying the present invention, it is unnecessary for a mobile terminal to receive an MBS mapping message, so that the sleep duration of the mobile terminal is increased and thus the power consumption of the mobile terminal is reduced.
1. A method for transmitting data, the method comprising:
acquiring a Multicast and Broadcast Service Mapping Information Element (MBS_MAP_IE) carried in a DL_MAP message and MBS data corresponding to the MBS_MAP_IE, wherein the MBS_MAP_IE carries a parameter for indicating a frame offset from a next MBS_MAP_IE to the MBS_MAP_IE;
setting a sleep duration according to the parameter for indicating frame offset from the next MBS_MAP_IE to the MBS_MAP_IE; and
acquiring the next MBS_MAP_IE carried in a next DL_MAP message and MBS data corresponding to the next MBS_MAP_IE when the sleep duration expires.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MBS_MAP_IE further carries a parameter for indicating a symbol offset from the next MBS_MAP_IE to a header of the frame comprising the next MBS_MAP_IE and a parameter for indicating a length of the next MBS_MAP_IE; and
wherein acquiring the next MBS_MAP_IE comprises acquiring the next MBS_MAP_IE according to the parameter for indicating the symbol offset from the next MBS_MAP_IE to the header of the frame comprising the next MBS_MAP_IE and the parameter for indicating the length of the next MBS_MAP_IE carried in the MBS_MAP_IE.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MBS_MAP_IE further carries a parameter for indicating a length of the next MBS_MAP_IE and a parameter for indicating a length of the MBS data; and
wherein acquiring the next MBS_MAP_IE and MBS data comprises acquiring the next MBS_MAP_IE and the MBS data during a listening duration; and wherein the listening duration is set as a sum of a time duration corresponding to the parameter for indicating the length of the next MBS_MAP_IE and a time duration corresponding to the parameter for indicating the length of the MBS data.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MBS_MAP_IE further carries a parameter for indicating that MBS resources can be acquired according to the MBS_MAP_IE.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the parameter for indicating that the MBS resources can be acquired according to the MBS_MAP_IE comprises a parameter for indicating that the receiving position of the next MBS_MAP_IE needs to be indicated.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the parameter for indicating that the receiving position of the next MBS_MAP_IE needs to be indicated is a redefined parameter for indicating that the frame position of an MBS_MAP message needs to be indicated in the MBS_MAP_IE.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sleep duration is set as a sleep window.
8. An apparatus for transmitting data, the apparatus comprising:
a first unit, configured to acquire a Multicast and Broadcast Service Mapping Information Element (MBS_MAP_IE) carried in a DL_MAP message and MBS data corresponding to the MBS_MAP_IE, wherein the MBS_MAP_IE carries a parameter for indicating a frame offset from a next MBS_MAP_IE to the MBS_MAP_IE; and
a second unit, configured to set a sleep duration according to the parameter for indicating the frame offset from the next MBS_MAP_IE to the MBS_MAP_IE;
wherein the first unit is further configured to acquire the next MBS_MAP_IE carried in a next DL_MAP message and MBS data corresponding to the next MBS_MAP_IE when the sleep duration expires.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the MBS_MAP_IE further carries a parameter for indicating a length of the next MBS_MAP_IE and a parameter for indicating a length of the MBS data;
wherein the second unit is further configured to set a sum of a time duration corresponding to the length of the next MBS_MAP_IE and a time duration corresponding to the length of the MBS data as a listening duration; and
wherein the first unit is further configured to acquire the next MBS_MAP_IE and the MBS data corresponding to the next MBS_MAP_IE during the listening duration.
