摘要： The invention relates to a method for distributing control signaling for session control of a multicast or broadcast service within a mobile communication network. Furthermore the invention also provides a base station, mobile terminal and communication system to perform the proposed method. In order to reduce the number of signaling connections for the service, the invention proposes to avoid the initial distribution of session control signaling in the entire mobile communications network or service area. Rather than providing service related control signaling connections upon session start, the control signaling connections are set up in response to service requests of the mobile terminals requesting the service. According to one further aspect, the mobile terminals send the service requests based on service announcements available at the mobile terminals, i.e. in contrast to conventional implementations, the mobile terminals do not await a notification of the access network on the availability of the service within the cell.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for efficiently setting up a bidirectional multicast service in a mobile communication system. The bidirectional service is provided to a user equipment located in a radio cell controlled by a control entity. For the downlink data of the bidirectional service a downlink multicast service framework is utilized. In case the control entity decides for a point-to-point radio link to the UE, the system resources of the downlink framework are configured so as to re-use the configured system resources of the bidirectional service. This includes radio resources in the radio access network and may include tunnels in the core network. The invention further relates to a network entity in the CN or in the RAN for configuring system resources and for forwarding the multicast service data to the UE. The invention also relates to a mobile terminal for receiving the bidirectional multicast service.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for continuing the provision of a multicast service to a mobile node, which moved to a network area, in which the multicast service is provided at a different data rate than before. A content synchronization entity is introduced into the mobile communications system for deciding whether to establish an additional multicast session to be provided to the mobile node via an additional data channel, in order to allow a seamless multicast service provision. The content synchronization entity may base its decision on various parameters and algorithms, such as the progress of the session provision in the source network at the time the mobile node performs the handover. Subsequent mobile nodes that enter the same network area may reuse the previously established additional data channel and receive the additional multicast session, since the additional data channel may be established as a multicast radio bearer.

摘要： The invention relates to method for providing a multicast service from or via an application server to a mobile terminal within a mobile communication system, wherein the mobile communication system provides a downlink multicast or broadcast service (DMBS) that can be utilized for transmitting the downlink multicast data to the mobile terminal. Further, the invention relates to a mobile terminal and network entities that participate in this method. To enable an efficient provision of a bidirectional multicast service to users, wherein a DMBS may be used for providing downlink multicast data to the users, the invention proposes that the mobile terminal requests an application server to route downlink multicast data through the resources established for the multicast service instead of the resources for the DMBS, upon receiving a notification that a point-to-point connection is to be used for the downlink multicast data transfer. Thereby, the establishment of additional RAN resources for DMBS can be prevented.

摘要： The invention relates to group communication services, i.e. communication services involving two or more users (or service participants). The invention provides a method for distributing multicast data of a multicast service to different domains and a method for distributing multicast data to service participants in a domain. Further, the invention relates to a control node and system implementing the respective methods. To improve resource utilization when providing a multicast service, including inter alia PoC services, to service participants the invention provides mechanisms to avoid unnecessary multiplication of multicast data in the distribution tree for multicast services with service participants of different domains. For this purpose the controlling node that is initiating the multicast service upon request determined to which domains the multicast data is to be provided and only forwards the multicast data on a per-domain basis. Another aspect of the invention is the avoidance of unnecessary duplications of multicast data within individual domains.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for managing the mobility of a mobile terminal, while receiving a service via an access node of a mobile communication network. The mobile communication network has overlapping pool areas, while the access node is assigned to at least two pool areas simultaneously. After the UE changes to the access node of the overlapping area, it is proposed that the mobility management entity serving the UE arbitrarily selects a prospect user plane entity for transporting service data into the next pool areas, and requests from the service provider information about UPEs handling this service. After the actual attachment to an access node within the new pool area, the handover is finalized by changing the UPE from the old one to the selected UPE in the new pool area. Thereby, the data path from the service provider to the UE is constantly being optimized.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for efficiently providing a bidirectional multicast service (e.g. IMS) to a user equipment (105), located in a radio cell, controlled by a control entity (104). For the downlink data of the bidirectional service a downlink multicast service (e.g. MBMS) is utilized. In case the control entity (e.g. RNC) decides for a point-to-point radio link to the UE, the bidirectional service is notified and system resources, established for the bidirectional service are utilized for providing the bidirectional service downlink data. This includes radio resources in the radio access network and may include connections in the core network. Optionally, the downlink multicast service may be de-activated for the specific mobile terminal, but the system resources already established may be maintained. The invention further relates to a network entity in the CN or in the RAN for configuring system resources and for forwarding the multicast service data to the UE.
