Abstract
In a MBMS system, a base station generates a data control task and a first header control task and second header control task corresponding to each terminal device for a MBMS function module. Each header control task synchronizes a compression state with an associated terminal device and transmits only header information to the terminal device, and the data control task distributes content information to the terminal device separately from header information.
Claims5
A content distributing system, comprising:
- a plurality of terminal devices;
- and
- a content distributing apparatus that distributes contents to the terminal devices, and that includes
- a generating unit that generates a plurality of header control units associated with the terminal devices to which contents are distributed, and
- a content distributing unit that distributes content information in which maximally-compressed header information and the contents are associated with each other to the terminal devices via a first channel,
- the header control unit including
- a determining unit that synchronizes a compression state with an associated terminal device and determines a compression state of a header to be transmitted to the terminal device, the compression state being any one of an uncompressed state containing static information and dynamic information, a minimally-compressed state containing only dynamic information and a maximally-compressed state containing neither static information nor dynamic information, and
- a header distributing unit that compresses a header based on a determination result of the determining unit and distributes all header compression information as information on a compressed header to a terminal device associated with the header control unit separately from the content information via a second channel.

A content distributing method for a content distributing system comprising a plurality of terminal devices and a content distributing apparatus for distributing contents to the terminal devices, the content distributing method comprising:
- generating a plurality of header control tasks associated with the terminal devices to which contents are distributed;
- distributing content information in which maximally-compressed header information and the contents are associated with each other to the terminal devices via a first channel;
- synchronizing a compression state with an associated terminal device and determining a compression state of a header to be transmitted to the terminal device, the compression state being any one of an uncompressed state containing static information and dynamic information, a minimally-compressed state containing only dynamic information and a maximally-compressed state containing neither static information nor dynamic information;
- compressing a header based on a determination result;
- and
- distributing all header compression information as information on a compressed header to a terminal device associated with the header control task separately from the content information via a second channel.
