Abstract:
1. A scheduling processing method for a Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service (MBMS), used for each of lower-layer network elements to perform scheduling processing for data of art MBMS services received from an upper-layer network element, comprising: receiving, by each of the lower-layer network elements, information sent by a designated network element, wherein the information is used for indicating a scheduling periods of the MBMS services, and wherein the designated network element comprises a multimedia broadcast and multicast coordination entity; performing, by each of the lower-layer network elements, scheduling processing for the data of the received MBMS services during a transmission scheduling period of a Multicast Channel (MCH) based on a predetermined sequence and/or predetermined scheduling amount, according to the scheduling periods of the MBMS services indicated by the information; wherein the step that each of the lower-layer network elements performs the scheduling processing for the data of the received MBMS services is according to the predetermined sequence, the predetermined sequence is a length sequence of the scheduling periods of the MBMS services; wherein the scheduling processing according to the length sequence by each of the lower-layer network elements comprises: arranging the received MBMS services at corresponding resource positions according to the length sequence of the scheduling periods including: first scheduling the MBMS service with the shortest scheduling period during the transmission scheduling period; then scheduling the MBMS service with the longer scheduling; and wherein the transmission scheduling period of the MCH is an integral multiple of a minimum MBMS scheduling period containing the scheduling period information of the MBMS service.
