Abstract
A method and device for service time division multiplexing as well as a method and a device for transmitting service are disclosed. The method for service time division multiplexing includes: selecting a part or all of radio frames in one time unit as specific radio frames; and selecting a part or all of subframes in the specific radio frames as specific subframes for sending a specific service. The specific service is a multimedia broadcast multicast service, or a unicast service, or one or more than one kind of service transmitted in broadcast or multicast mode.

A method for transmitting a service by a base station, comprising:
- selecting at least one radio frame in a time unit as a specific radio frame for carrying the service, wherein the time unit comprises a plurality of radio frames, each of the radio frames contains a number R of subframes that can be allocated to carry the service;
- selecting at least one subframe in the specific radio frame as a specific subframe for carrying the service;
- sending position information of the specific radio frame in the time unit and position information of the specific subframe in the specific radio frame on a transport channel, wherein the transport channel is mapped to a physical shared data channel.
A method for transmitting a service by a base station, wherein a time unit is divided into a plurality of Type 1 subunits, a Type 1 subunit is divided into a plurality of Type 2 subunits, and so on, that a Type n subunit is divided into a plurality of Type n +1 subunits, where 1≦n≦N and N is a nonnegative integer, the method comprising:
- selecting at least one Type 1 subunit as a specific Type 1 subunit for carrying the service, selecting at least one Type 2 subunit in the selected specific Type 1 subunit as a specific Type 2 subunit for carrying the service, and so on, that at least one Type n+1 subunit is selected in a specific Type n subunit as a specific Type n+1 subunit for carrying the service;

- sending position information of the Type 1 to Type n+1 specific subunits, wherein the position information of the Type 1 to Type n+1 specific subunits is represented, at each level, by a bitmap or a number or an interval of the specific subunit in the specific subunit of the level above;
- when the number of the specific Type N′ subunit in the time unit is more than or equal to a threshold, determining a value n0, where 1≦N′≦N, 1≦n0≦N, n0 has at least one value, which represents that all of the Type n0 subunits in a specific Type n0−1 subunit are specific Type n0 subunits, and the position information of the specific Type n0 subunits is not sent;
- and
- when the number of the specific Type N′ subunit in the time unit is less than the threshold, determining a value of n0′, where 1≦n0′≦N, n0 ′ has at least one value, which represents that dividing directly the Type n0′−1 subunit into at least one Type n0′+1 subunit, and the position information of the specific Type n0′ subunit is not sent.

- wherein the broadcast channels comprise a primary broadcast channel, a secondary broadcast channel and a dynamic broadcast channel, and
- wherein the position information of the specific subframes is transmitted on the primary broadcast channel and the position information of the specific radio frames is transmitted on the secondary broadcast channel or the dynamic broadcast channel.
A method for transmitting service, comprising:
- dividing one time unit into at least one Type 1 subunit and selecting a part or all of Type 1 subunits as specific Type 1 subunits;
