Abstract
A communication control method is used in a mobile communication system for providing a multicast broadcast service (MBS) on a per zone basis, the zone being narrower than a cell. The communication control method includes broadcasting, by a base station configured to manage a first cell, in the first cell, system information including zone information indicating a zone where MBS transmission is to be performed in a second cell different from the first cell, receiving, by a user equipment located in the first cell, the system information, and performing, by the user equipment, a predetermined operation to receive MBS data within the zone based on the system information.
Claims4
A communication control method used in a mobile communication system for providing a multicast broadcast service (MBS) on a per zone basis, the zone being narrower than a cell, the communication control method comprising:
- broadcasting, by a base station configured to manage a first cell, in the first cell, system information comprising zone information indicating a zone where MBS transmission is to be performed in a second cell different from the first cell;
- receiving, by a user equipment located in the first cell, the system information;
- and
- performing, by the user equipment, a predetermined operation to receive MBS data within the zone based on the system information,
- wherein
- the system information further comprises an identifier associated with the zone information, and
- the identifier corresponds to at least one selected from the group consisting of an identifier indicating the second cell, an identifier indicating a frequency to which the second cell belongs, and an identifier indicating an MBS session used for the MBS transmission to the zone.
A user equipment used in a mobile communication system for providing a multicast broadcast service (MBS) on a per zone basis, the zone being narrower than a cell, the user equipment comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive from a base station configured to manage a first cell, in the first cell, system information comprising zone information indicating a zone where MBS transmission is to be performed in a second cell different from the first cell, and
- a controller configured to perform a predetermined operation to receive MBS data within the zone based on the system information, wherein
- the system information further comprises an identifier associated with the zone information, and
- the identifier corresponds to at least one selected from the group consisting of an identifier indicating the second cell, an identifier indicating a frequency to which the second cell belongs, and an identifier indicating an MBS session used for the MBS transmission to the zone.
