Abstract
There is provided mechanisms for allocating an application signalling session for transmitting Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS) data in an MBMS Single Frequency Network (MBSFN). A method is performed by a radio access network node. The method comprises obtaining information identifying the application signalling session from a broadcast multicast service center (BM-SC). The method comprises allocating the application signalling session to a subframe of a radio frame, in which subframe a signalling modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of the radio frame is used.
Claims20
A method for allocating an application signalling session for transmitting Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services, MBMS, data in an MBMS Single Frequency Network, MBSFN, the method being performed by a radio access network node, the method comprising:
- obtaining information identifying the application signalling session from a broadcast multicast service center, BM-SC;
- and
- allocating the application signalling session to a subframe of a radio frame, in which subframe a signalling modulation and coding scheme, MCS, of the radio frame is used.
The method according to 1, further comprising:
- placing user data of the application signalling session in any available part of the subframe.
A radio access network node for allocating an application signalling session for transmitting Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services, MBMS, data in an MBMS Single Frequency Network, MBSFN, the radio access network node comprising processing circuitry, the processing circuitry being configured to cause the radio access network node to:
- obtain information identifying the application signalling session from a broadcast multicast service center, BM-SC;
- and
- allocate the application signalling session to a subframe of a radio frame, in which subframe a signalling modulation and coding scheme, MCS, of the radio frame is used.
A radio access network node for allocating an application signalling session for transmitting Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services, MBMS, data in an MBMS Single Frequency Network, MBSFN, the radio access network node comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- a computer program product storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, causes the radio access network node to:
- obtain information identifying the application signalling session from a broadcast multicast service center, BM-SC;
- and
- allocate the application signalling session to a subframe of a radio frame, in which subframe a signalling modulation and coding scheme, MCS, of the radio frame is used.
A radio access network node for allocating an application signalling session for transmitting Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services, MBMS, data in an MBMS Single Frequency Network, MBSFN, the radio access network node comprising:
- an obtainer module configured to obtain information identifying the application signalling session from a broadcast multicast service center, BM-SC;
- and
- an allocator module configured to allocate the application signalling session to a subframe of a radio frame, in which subframe a signalling modulation and coding scheme, MCS, of the radio frame is used.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a computer program product including instructions to cause at least one processor to:
- obtain information identifying the application signalling session from a broadcast multicast service center, BM-SC;
- and
- allocate the application signalling session to a subframe of a radio frame, in which subframe a signalling modulation and coding scheme, MCS, of the radio frame is used.
