Method and apparatus for synchronization processing
First Claim
1. A method for synchronization processing, comprising:
- a designated network element receiving multiple data bursts of a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service transmitted by its upper layer network element, wherein data packets in the data bursts carry timestamp information;
for multiple data bursts whose timestamp locates before a current available transmitting time interval, the designated network element starting to transmit the data packets belonging to the multiple data bursts in turn from the start time of the current available transmitting time interval, wherein different timestamp of multiple data bursts locates between a last available transmitting time interval and a next available transmitting time interval;
wherein the current available transmitting time interval is the next time interval of wireless interface resources used to transmitting the data packets and the Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service is transmitted at wireless interfaces in a manner of Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) to use a wireless interface channel.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for synchronization processing, wherein the method for synchronization processing includes: a designated network element receiving multiple data bursts of a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service transmitted by its upper layer network element, wherein data packets in the data bursts carry timestamp information; for multiple data bursts whose timestamp locates before a current available transmitting time interval, the designated network element starting to transmit the data packets belonging to the multiple data bursts in turn from the start time of the current available transmitting time interval. By means of the present invention, the synchronization between the lower layer network elements can be kept and the performance of a system can be stabilized.

7. An apparatus for synchronization processing, which locates at a designated network element side, comprising:
-
receiving means, configured to receive multiple data bursts of a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service transmitted by an upper layer network element, wherein data packets in the data bursts carry timestamp information, wherein the Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service is transmitted at wireless interfaces in a manner of Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) to use a wireless interface channel; and processing means, configured to, for multiple data bursts whose timestamp locates before a current available transmitting time interval, start to transmit the data packets belonging to the multiple data bursts in turn from the start time of the current available transmitting time interval, wherein different timestamp of multiple data bursts locates between a last available transmitting time interval and a next available transmitting time interval; wherein the current available transmitting time interval is the next time interval of wireless interface resources used to transmitting the data packets. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
