Transmitting/receiving point-to-multipoint service in wireless communication system

A method in a network for controlling a user equipment (UE) capable of receiving a point-to-multipoint service in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• transmitting the point-to-multipoint service on a physical channel;
• determining a number of scheduling periods where there is no transmission related to the point-to-multipoint service;
• transmitting a first scheduling indicator associated with the number of scheduling periods where there is no transmission, wherein each scheduling period is associated with a scheduling indicator;
• and
• transmitting the point-to-multipoint service through the physical channel after the number of scheduling periods where there is no transmission;
• wherein, the point-to-multipoint service and the first scheduling indicator are transmitted on the same physical channel.

A user equipment (UE) capable of receiving a point-to-multipoint service in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

• means for receiving the point-to-multipoint service on a physical channel from a network;
• means for receiving a first scheduling indicator associated with a number of scheduling periods where there is no transmission related to the point-to-multipoint service, wherein each scheduling period is associated with a scheduling indicator;
• and
• means for receiving the point-to-multipoint service through the physical channel after the number of scheduling periods where there is no transmission;
• wherein, the point-to-multipoint service and the first scheduling indicator are received on the same physical channel.
