The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for media stream transmission, and user equipment, where the method includes: receiving a segment request message that is sent by a dynamic adaptive steaming over Hypertext Transfer Protocol DASH client of user equipment UE and that is used to request segment content of media; determining, according to the segment request message, to send the segment content to the UE in a multicast mode; and sending a multicast request message to a broadcast multicast service center BM-SC, so that the BM-SC multicasts the segment content to an MBMS client according to the multicast request message, and the MBMS client sends the segment content to the DASH client. According to the method and the apparatus for media stream transmission, and the user equipment in embodiments of the present invention, same media content, of multiple users, on unicast bearers is multicast by using an MBMS channel, so that a backhaul network resource and an air interface resource that is of a base station can be saved, thereby reducing costs for transmitting a media stream. |
