Evolved multimedia broadcast multicast service system and method for performing statistical multiplexing of services with different quality of service class identifiers
A method for performing statistical multiplexing of services with different Quality of Service Class Identifiers (QCIs) in an evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (e-MBMS) system, comprising: at an evolved Broadcast Multicast Service Center (eBM-SC), determining a statistical multiplexing bundle and information of the statistical multiplexing bundle for e-MBMS services, wherein the statistical multiplexing bundle comprises multiple services with different QCIs, and services with the same QCI constitute a statistical multiplexing sub-bundle in the statistical multiplexing bundle, the information of the statistical multiplexing bundle comprising: a QCI, a service list and an Aggregated Bundle Bit Rate (ABBR) of each statistical multiplexing sub-bundle, and the ABBR of the statistical multiplexing bundle; at an MBMS Collaborative Entity (MCE), determining an ABBR bundle based on the information of the statistical multiplexing bundle determined by the eBM-SC and according to a predetermined standard, and performing statistical multiplexing scheduling for the services of the ABBR bundle so that multiple services belonging to the same ABBR bundle share resources allocated to the ABBR bundle. The method may acquire further gain, that is, further reduce resource consumption.
