Terminal 20 is used for containing when changing indication information receiving from descending control signaling corresponding to the paging channel of base station 10 by down control channel, determines that the MBMS control information changes, and obtains the MBMS control information after the variation.
As shown in Figure 2, the base station of the embodiment of the invention comprises: generation module 100 and the first sending module 110.
Generation module 100 is used for after definite MBMS control information changes, and generates to change indication information.
The first sending module 110, be used for the variation indication information that generation module 100 generates is placed descending control signaling corresponding to paging channel, send to terminal by down control channel, indicating terminal receive change indication information after, obtain the MBMS control information after the variation.
In specific implementation process, the first sending module 110 can be the reusing of reserved bit in the descending control signaling with changing indication information and place the reserved bit position of descending control signaling, namely changing indication information.
Wherein, because the remaining bits of the each descending control signaling that sends in base station might be different, so the variation indication information that generates can be according to the size of remaining bits by difference.Specifically dual mode can be arranged.
The below will change indication information and place the descending control signaling that uses DCI format 1A corresponding to paging channel (hereinafter to be referred as " descending control signaling 1A ") to be specifically described as example.Need to prove, the embodiment of the invention is not limited to the variation indication information is placed this a kind of mode of descending control signaling 1A, and other can place the mode of descending control signaling to be suitable for equally the embodiment of the invention with changing indication information.
Mode 1, generation module 100 will change sign as changing indication information.
In specific implementation process, when generation module 100 can the remaining bits in descending control signaling 1A can not carry the content that the MBMS control information changes, will change sign as the variation indication information.
Changing sign can be 1 bit information, changes sign (being that the MBMS control information changes) such as " 1 " representative.
Concrete, can be in descending control signaling 1A reserved bit information, the high-order information such as ascending control channel power control indication (TPC command for PUCCH) redefines, as: " 0 ": expression MBMS control information is unchanged; " 1 " represents the MBMS control information and changes.
Then generation module 100 is after definite MBMS control information changes, and the high-order information that the control of ascending control channel power is indicated places 1; If determine that the MBMS control information does not change, then the high-order information with ascending control channel power control indication places 0.
Need to prove, the variation sign of the embodiment of the invention is not limited to above-mentioned 1 and 0 mode, and other can represent to change the applicable equally embodiment of the invention of information of sign.
In specific implementation process, change the information of sign and change the multiple setting means that where has that sign places descending control signaling 1A, such as setting by standard, determine after also can being consulted by base station and terminal, can also be by notification terminal after the base station sets.
For mode 1, the base station also needs the MBMS control information after changing is sent to terminal.Then the base station of the embodiment of the invention can further include: the second sending module 120.
The second sending module 120 is used for the first sending module 110 sends descending control signaling 1A corresponding to the paging channel that contains the indication information that changes by down control channel after, sends MBMS control information after changing by MCCH to terminal.
Concrete, the second sending module 120 determines that first next MCCH sends the time (comprising initial time and cycle duration) in cycle, then within the MCCH transmission cycle, send RRC (Radio Resource Control, the Radio Resource control) message comprise the MBMS control information after the variation or comprise the RRC message of the content that the MBMS control information changes to terminal by MCCH.
Mode 2, generation module 100 will change sign and the content that changes of MBMS control information as changing indication information.
In specific implementation process, when generation module 100 can the remaining bits in descending control signaling 1A can carry the content that the MBMS control information changes, will change content that sign and MBMS control information change as the variation indication information.
Wherein, the variation sign in the variation sign in the mode 2 and the mode 1 is identical, repeats no more.
What of the content that the bit that the content that MBMS control information in the mode 2 changes takies need to change according to the MBMS control information are determined.
In specific implementation process, the content that the MBMS control information changes can take the reserved place among the descending control signaling 1A, can certainly take other remaining bits.Such as: can take HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest, mixed automatic retransfer request) process number and downlink data packet number among the descending control signaling 1A.
Suppose that a certain program need to increase or delete, can indicate 8 programs with 3 bits, with 1bit indication deletion or increase, 001 represents 1 programs, 010 represents 2 programs again ... the like.1 can represent increase, and 0 can represent deletion.If needing like this increases by 2 programs, the HARQ process can be counted bit and place 010, the downlink data packet number is placed 1.
Need to prove, the position that the content that embodiment of the invention MBMS control information changes takies is not limited to HARQ process number and downlink data packet, the applicable equally embodiment of the invention in other positions among the descending control signaling 1A.
In specific implementation process, the content that the MBMS control information changes take among the descending control signaling 1A where and bit information represent what implication multiple setting means arranged, such as setting by standard, determine after also can being consulted by base station and terminal, can also be by notification terminal after the base station sets.
Mode 2 can make the base station not need to receive the MBMS control information by MCCH and just can know which content in the MBMS control information changes than mode 1, has further saved system resource, has improved resource utilization.
Because the base station sends before the downlink data to terminal, need to carry out paging to terminal, thereby can send descending control signaling 1A by paging channel.A kind of situation might occur like this, determine that namely the MBMS control information changes, but do not have the clean culture paging in the system, at this moment the first sending module 110 also can place descending control signaling 1A with changing indication information, sends to terminal by paging channel.Just the resource block location among the descending control signaling 1A is designated as full 0 or sky.Then the first sending module 110 determines that at generation module 100 the MBMS control information changes, and current when not having the clean culture paging, place descending control signaling corresponding to paging channel with changing indication information, and the resource block location in descending control signaling indication is set to full 0 or sky, sends to terminal by down control channel.
Accordingly, when the resource block location indication of terminal in the descending control signaling of receiving is set to full 0 or sky, do not need to carry out paging channel and detect.
As shown in Figure 3, the terminal of the embodiment of the invention comprises: the first receiver module 200, determination module 210 and acquisition module 220.
The first receiver module 200 is used for by descending control signaling corresponding to down control channel paging receiving channel.
Determination module 210 is used for containing when changing indication information at descending control signaling corresponding to paging channel that the first receiver module 200 is received, determines that the MBMS control information changes;
Acquisition module 220 is used for after determination module 210 determines that the MBMS control informations change, and obtains the MBMS control information after the variation.
Wherein, may be to change sign owing to changing indication information, also may be the content that variation sign and MBMS control information change, so acquisition module 220 has two kinds of obtain manners after definite MBMS control information changes.
Mode 1, variation indication information are to change sign.

In specific implementation process, MBMS control information after the implication that the content that control information changes according to MBMS takies position in the descending control signaling and bit information representative is determined to change, counting bit such as the HARQ process is 010, the downlink data packet number is 1, and then acquisition module 220 determines to need to increase by 2 programs.
As shown in Figure 4, the Notification Method of embodiment of the invention MBMS control information variation comprises the following steps:
Step 401, network side generate the variation indication information after definite MBMS control information changes.
Step 402, network side will change indication information and place descending control signaling corresponding to paging channel, send to terminal by down control channel, indicating terminal receive change indication information after, obtain the MBMS control information after the variation.
In specific implementation process, network side can be the reusing of reserved bit in the descending control signaling with changing indication information and place the reserved bit position of descending control signaling, namely changing indication information.
Wherein, in the step 402 because the remaining bits of the each descending control signaling that sends of network side might be different, so the variation indication information that generates can be according to the size of remaining bits by difference.Specifically dual mode can be arranged.
The below will change indication information and place the descending control signaling that uses DCI format 1A corresponding to paging channel (hereinafter to be referred as " descending control signaling 1A ") to be specifically described as example.Need to prove, the embodiment of the invention is not limited to this a kind of mode of DCIformat 1A that the variation indication information is placed descending control signaling 1A, and other can place the mode of descending control signaling to be suitable for equally the embodiment of the invention with changing indication information.
Network side will change sign as changing indication information in mode 1, the step 401.
In specific implementation process, when network side can the remaining bits in descending control signaling 1A can not carry the content that the MBMS control information changes, will change sign as the variation indication information.
Changing sign can be 1 bit information, changes sign (being that the MBMS control information changes) such as " 1 " representative.
Concrete, can be in descending control signaling 1A reserved bit information, the high-order information such as ascending control channel power control indication redefines, as: " 0 ": expression MBMS control information is unchanged; " 1 " represents the MBMS control information and changes.
Then network side is after definite MBMS control information changes, and the high-order information that the control of ascending control channel power is indicated places 1; If determine that the MBMS control information does not change, then the high-order information with ascending control channel power control indication places 0.

For mode 1, network side also needs the MBMS control information after changing is sent to terminal.Then can further include after the step 402:
MBMS control information after step a403, network side change to the terminal transmission by MCCH.
Step a404, terminal are according to the variation indication information of receiving, by the MBMS control information after the MCCH reception variation.
Concrete, network side determines that first next MCCH sends the time (comprising initial time and cycle duration) in cycle among the step a403, then within the MCCH transmission cycle, send the RRC message that comprises the MBMS control information after the variation or comprise the RRC message of the content that the MBMS control information changes to terminal by MCCH.
Network side will change sign and the content that changes of MBMS control information as changing indication information in mode 2, the step 401.
In specific implementation process, when network side can the remaining bits in descending control signaling 1A can carry the content that the MBMS control information changes, will change content that sign and MBMS control information change as the variation indication information.
Accordingly, can further include after the step 402:
Step b403, terminal behind the variation indication information of receiving from network side, the content that changes according to the MBMS control information of receiving, the MBMS control information after determining to change.
Wherein, the variation sign in the variation sign in the mode 2 and the mode 1 is identical, repeats no more.
What of the content that the bit that the content that MBMS control information in the mode 2 changes takies need to change according to the MBMS control information are determined.
In specific implementation process, the content that the MBMS control information changes can take the reserved place among the descending control signaling 1A, can certainly take other remaining bits.Such as: can take HARQ process number and downlink data packet number among the descending control signaling 1A.
Suppose that a certain program need to increase or delete, can indicate 8 programs with 3 bits, with 1bit indication deletion or increase, 001 represents 1 programs, 010 represents 2 programs again ... the like.1 can represent increase, and 0 can represent deletion.If needing like this increases by 2 programs, the HARQ process can be counted bit and place 010, the downlink data packet number is placed 1.
Need to prove, the position that the content that embodiment of the invention MBMS control information changes takies is not limited to HARQ process number and downlink data packet, the applicable equally embodiment of the invention in other positions among the descending control signaling 1A.
In specific implementation process, the content that the MBMS control information changes take among the descending control signaling 1A where and bit information represent what implication multiple setting means arranged, such as setting by standard, determine notification terminal after being set by network side after also can being consulted by network side and terminal.
Mode 2 can make network side not need to receive the MBMS control information by MCCH and just can know which content in the MBMS control information changes than mode 1, has further saved system resource, has improved resource utilization.
Because network side sends before the downlink data to terminal, need to carry out paging to terminal, thereby can send descending control signaling 1A by paging channel.A kind of situation might occur like this, determine that namely the MBMS control information changes, but do not have the clean culture paging in the system, at this moment network side also can place descending control signaling 1A with changing indication information, sends to terminal by paging channel.Just the resource block location among the descending control signaling 1A is designated as full 0 or sky.Then in the step 402, network side changes in definite MBMS control information, and current when not having the clean culture paging, place descending control signaling corresponding to paging channel with changing indication information, and the resource block location in descending control signaling indication is set to full 0 or sky, sends to terminal by down control channel.
Accordingly, when the resource block location indication of terminal in the descending control signaling of receiving is set to full 0 or sky, do not need to carry out paging channel and detect.
As shown in Figure 5, the embodiment of the invention determines that the method that the MBMS control information changes comprises the following steps:
Step 501, terminal are by descending control signaling corresponding to down control channel paging receiving channel.
Step 502, terminal contain when changing indication information in descending control signaling corresponding to the paging channel of receiving, determine that the MBMS control information changes, and obtain the MBMS control information after the variation.
Wherein, may be to change sign owing to changing indication information, also may be the content that variation sign and MBMS control information change, so after definite MBMS control information changes, two kinds of obtain manners are arranged in the step 502.
Mode 1, variation indication information are to change sign.
In the step 502, terminal is when changing sign changing indication information, according to the variation indication information of receiving, by the MBMS control information after the MCCH reception variation.
Concrete, terminal is determined first the time (comprising initial time and cycle duration) of next MCCH receiving cycle, then in the MCCH receiving cycle, by the MBMS control information after the MCCH reception variation.
Mode 2, variation indication information are the contents that variation sign and MBMS control information change.
In the step 502, when terminal is the content that variation identifies and the MBMS control information changes at the variation indication information, according to the content that the MBMS control information of receiving changes, the MBMS control information after determining to change.
In specific implementation process, MBMS control information after the implication that the content that control information changes according to MBMS takies position in the descending control signaling and bit information representative is determined to change, counting bit such as the HARQ process is 010, the downlink data packet number is 1, and then terminal determines to need to increase by 2 programs.
