Multimedia broadcast multicast service configuration method, terminal, and network-side device

A multimedia broadcast multicast service configuration method, performed by a network-side device and comprising:

• indicating to a terminal to perform a configuration operation, wherein the configuration operation is related to reception of a target multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS);
• or
• receiving first information sent by a terminal, wherein the first information comprises first indication information that is used to indicate that the terminal has performed the configuration operation;
• wherein the configuration operation comprises at least one of the following:
• adding a configuration related to reception of the target MBMS;
• releasing a configuration related to reception of the target MBMS;
• and
• reconfiguring a configuration related to reception of the target MBMS;
• wherein the adding a configuration related to reception of the target MBMS comprises:
• adding a protocol stack entity that receives the target MBMS;
• wherein the releasing a configuration related to reception of the target MBMS comprises:
• releasing a protocol stack entity that receives the target MBMS;
• wherein the reconfiguring a configuration related to reception of the target MBMS comprises:
• reconfiguring a protocol stack entity that receives the target MBMS;
• wherein the protocol stack entity comprises at least one of the following:
• a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity, a radio link control protocol (RLC) entity, and a medium access control (MAC) entity.

A terminal, comprising a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, the following steps are implemented:

• performing a configuration operation according to an indication from a network side, wherein the configuration operation is related to reception of a target multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS);
• or
• autonomously performing the configuration operation and sending first information to a network side, wherein the first information comprises first indication information that is used to indicate that the terminal has performed the configuration operation;
• wherein the configuration operation comprises at least one of the following:
• adding a configuration related to reception of the target MBMS;
• releasing a configuration related to reception of the target MBMS;
• and
• reconfiguring a configuration related to reception of the target MBMS;
• wherein the adding a configuration related to reception of the target MBMS comprises:
• adding a protocol stack entity that receives the target MBMS;
• wherein the releasing a configuration related to reception of the target MBMS comprises:
• releasing a protocol stack entity that receives the target MBMS;
• wherein the reconfiguring a configuration related to reception of the target MBMS comprises:
• reconfiguring a protocol stack entity that receives the target MBMS;
• wherein the protocol stack entity comprises at least one of the following:
• a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity, a radio link control protocol (RLC) entity, and a medium access control (MAC) entity.
