Abstract
Disclosed are a method by which a terminal receives an MBMS service and an apparatus for supporting the same. The method comprises the steps of: determining a coverage enhancement (CE) level of the terminal in a frequency at which an MBMS service of interest is provided; receiving a CE level of the MBMS service supported by a network; determining whether the MBMS service can be received by comparing the CE level of the terminal with the CE level of the MBMS service; and reporting, to the network, the CE level of the terminal or the number of iterations, which is indicated by the CE level of the terminal, required for the terminal when it is determined that the MBMS service cannot be received.
Claims6
A method for performing wireless communication by a wireless device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- determining a coverage enhancement (CE) level of the wireless device on a frequency via which a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service of interest is provided;
- receiving information regarding both a CE level of the MBMS service supported by a network and a number of repetitions required for the MBMS service included in system information block type 13 (SIB13);
- and
- transmitting, to the network, the CE level of the wireless device and a number of repetitions required for the wireless device related with the CE level of the wireless device based on (i) the CE level of the MBMS service being lower than the CE level of the wireless device, (ii) the number of repetitions required for the MBMS service being less than the number of repetitions required for the wireless device, and (iii) the frequency via which the MBMS service is provided being different from a current serving frequency for the wireless device,
- wherein the CE level of the wireless device and the number of repetitions required for the wireless device are transmitted through an MBMS service interest indication message, and
- wherein the CE level of the wireless device or the number of repetitions required for the wireless device is transmitted per temporary mobile group identity (TMGI).
A wireless device configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the wireless device comprising:
- a memory;
- a transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor operatively coupled to the memory and the transceiver,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- determine a coverage enhancement (CE) level of the wireless device on a frequency via which a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service of interest is provided;
- receive information regarding both a CE level of the MBMS service supported by a network and a number of repetitions required for the MBMS service included in system information block type 13 (SIB 13);
- and
- transmit, to the network, the CE level of the wireless device and a number of repetitions required for the wireless device related with the CE level of the wireless device based on (i) the CE level of the MBMS service being lower than the CE level of the wireless device, (ii) the number of repetitions required for the MBMS service being less than the number of repetitions required for the wireless device, and (iii) the frequency via which the MBMS service is provided being different from a current serving frequency for the wireless device,
- wherein the CE level of the wireless device and the number of repetitions required for the wireless device are transmitted through an MBMS service interest indication message, and
- wherein the CE level of the wireless device or the number of repetitions required for the wireless device is transmitted per temporary mobile group identity (TMGI).
