Abstract
Provided is a communication control method used in a mobile communication system providing a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) from a base station to a user equipment and includes receiving, by the user equipment in an RRC connected state and from the base station, unicast signalling including an MBS configuration used for MBS reception, and performing, by the user equipment having transitioned from the RRC connected state to an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state, the MBS reception by using the MBS configuration received in the RRC connected state.
Claims3
A communication control method used in a mobile communication system providing a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) from a base station to a user equipment, the communication control method comprising:
- receiving, by the user equipment and from the base station, information indicating an initial Bandwidth part (BWP) used by the base station;
- receiving, by the user equipment and from the base station, configuration information used for MBS reception;
- determining, by the user equipment, whether the received configuration information comprises a configuration of a frequency resource used for the MBS;
- when it is determined that the received configuration information does not comprise the configuration of the frequency resource used for the MBS, performing, by the user equipment, the MBS reception by using the initial BWP;
- and
- when it is determined that the received configuration information comprises the configuration of the frequency resource used for the MBS, performing, by the user equipment, the MBS reception by using the frequency resource used for the MBS.
A user equipment provided a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) from a base station, the user equipment comprising
- a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the processor configured to:
- receive, from the base station, information indicating an initial Bandwidth part (BWP) used by the base station;
- receive, from the base station, configuration information used for MBS reception;
- determine, by the user equipment, whether the received configuration information comprises a configuration of a frequency resource used for the MBS;
- when it is determined that the received configuration information does not comprise the configuration of the frequency resource used for the MBS, perform the MBS reception by using the initial BWP;
- and
- when it is determined that the received configuration information comprises the configuration of the frequency resource used for the MBS, perform, by the user equipment, the MBS reception by using the frequency resource used for the MBS.
An apparatus configured to control a user equipment provided a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) from a base station, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the processor configured to:
- receive, from the base station, information indicating an initial Bandwidth part (BWP) used by the base station;
- receive, from the base station, configuration information used for MBS reception;
- determine, by the user equipment, whether the received configuration information comprises a configuration of a frequency resource used for the MBS;
- when it is determined that the received configuration information does not comprise the configuration of the frequency resource used for the MBS, perform the MBS reception by using the initial BWP;
- and
- when it is determined that the received configuration information comprises the configuration of the frequency resource used for the MBS, performing, by the user equipment, the MBS reception by using the frequency resource used for the MBS.
