Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and apparatus for service identifying and routing in a multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) system. The apparatus includes a radio access network equipment (RNC) and a core network equipment (CN) communicating with each other via an Iu connection; CN includes a module for service information transmission which is used to send the identity information corresponding to the service the UE joins to RNC and RNC includes a module for service identifying and routing which is used to identify the service according to the identity information and determine the routing of the MBMS service in the non access stratum. RNC obtains the identity information corresponding to the service the UE joins through interaction of interface information with CN identifies the service and determines the routing of the MBMS service in the non access stratum.

Claim
1. A method for service identifying and routing in a multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) system, the method comprising:
a radio access network (RAN) device obtaining identity information corresponding to a service that a user equipment (UE) joins, through interaction of interface information with a core network (CN);
the RAN device identifying the service according to the identity information, and
determining a route of the MBMS service in the non access stratum when using a Point to Point (PTP) bearer mode; wherein
if there is an Iu connection of a Packet Switching (PS) domain on the UE, the RAN device obtains the identity information corresponding to the service the UE joins through a UE Linking procedure; and
if there is an Iu connection of a Circuit Switching (CS) domain on the UE, the RAN device obtains the identity information corresponding to the service the UE joins through a MBMS service information requesting procedure.', 'a radio access network (RAN) device obtaining identity information corresponding to a service that a user equipment (UE) joins, through interaction of interface information with a core network (CN);', 'the RAN device identifying the service according to the identity information, and', 'determining a route of the MBMS service in the non access stratum when using a Point to Point (PTP) bearer mode; wherein', 'if there is an Iu connection of a Packet Switching (PS) domain on the UE, the RAN device obtains the identity information corresponding to the service the UE joins through a UE Linking procedure; and', 'if there is an Iu connection of a Circuit Switching (CS) domain on the UE, the RAN device obtains the identity information corresponding to the service the UE joins through a MBMS service information requesting procedure.
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the identity information corresponding to the service comprises the network service access point identifier (NSAPI).
3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the identity information corresponding to the service comprises the radio access bearer identity (RAB ID).
4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the identity information corresponding to the service comprises the transaction identity (TI).
5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising: the RAN device obtaining a list of services the UE joins through the interaction of interface information with the core network.
6. The method according to claim 5, wherein, the procedure of the RAN device obtaining the list of services the UE joins and the procedure of the RAN device obtaining the identity information corresponding to the service are carried out separately.
7. The method according to claim 5, wherein, the procedure of the RAN device obtaining the list of services the UE joins and the procedure of the RAN device obtaining the identity information corresponding to the service are carried out simultaneously.
8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of the RAN device obtaining the identity information corresponding to the service from the CN is performed before the RAN device determines the radio bearer mode of the service.
9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of the RAN device obtaining the identity information corresponding to the service from the CN is implemented after the RAN device has obtained the list of services the UE joins from the CN and has determined the radio bearer mode of the service
