Claims38
A method of receiving a cell broadcast service in a mobile terminal adapted for use in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, through a first channel, periodic information associated with receiving a message having a cell broadcast service (CBS) indication;
- receiving, through a second channel, the message having the CBS indication, the message periodically provided and received in response to the periodic information;
- and
- receiving CBS data in response to the CBS indication.
A method of communicating a cell broadcast service in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting, through a first channel, periodic information associated with transmitting a message having a cell broadcast service (CBS) indication;
- transmitting, through a second channel, the message having the CBS indication, the message provided periodically and corresponding to the periodic information;
- and
- transmitting CBS data corresponding to the CBS indication.
A mobile terminal adapted for use in a wireless communication system, the mobile terminal comprising:
- an antenna unit adapted to receive RF signals containing periodic information associated with receiving a message having a cell broadcast service (CBS) indication, the message having the CBS indication and CBS data;
- an RF unit adapted to process the RF signals received by the antenna;
- a keypad for inputting information from a user;
- a storage unit adapted to store the periodic information, the cell broadcast CBS indication and the CBS data;
- a display adapted to convey information to the user;
- and
- a processing unit adapted to process the periodic information received through a first channel, process the message having the CBS indication received through a second channel and process the CBS data,
- wherein the message having the CBS indication is periodically received and processed in response to the periodic information and the CBS data is processed in response to the CBS indication.
A network for providing a point-to-multipoint service to at least one mobile terminal, the network comprising:
- at least one transmitter adapted to transmit signals containing periodic information associated with transmitting a message having a cell broadcast service (CBS) indication, the message having the CBS indication and CBS data;
- a CBS unit adapted to generate the CBS data;
- and
- a controller adapted to control the at least one transmitter to transmit the periodic information through a first channel, transmit the message having the CBS indication through a second channel and transmit the CBS data,
- wherein the message having the CBS indication is periodically provided and the CBS data corresponds to the CBS indication.
