Timing of point-to-multipoint control channel information

Abstract

The present invention is directed to notifying a mobile terminal, on a control channel MCCH and an indication channel MICH during a modification period, the presence of control information on the control channel MCCH during a subsequent modification period. Specifically, the mobile terminal subscribes to at least one point-to-multipoint service, receives first point-to-multipoint control information related to a first point-to-multipoint service on a point-to-multipoint control channel during a first modification period, and receives notification information on the point-to-multipoint control during the first modification period for indicating the presence of second point-to-multipoint control information related to a second point-to-multipoint service during a second modification period.
