US 2012/0257562 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING DATA IN USER EQUIPMENT OF SUPPORTING MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST MULTICAST SERVICE

Abstract

A method and an apparatus for receiving data in a User Equipment (UE) supporting a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) are provided. A method of receiving data by a UE which supports an MBMS includes obtaining first indication information indicating a Multicast/Broadcast over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe reserved for an MBSFN, obtaining second indication information indicating a subframe in the MBSFN subframe, the subframe decoding a Physical Multicast CHannel (PMCH), and when although a first subframe is indicated as the MBSFN subframe, the first subframe is not indicated to decode a PMCH and is not of a subframe for a Positioning Reference Signal (PRS), receiving a Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) of the first subframe and decoding a corresponding Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH).

A method of receiving data by a User Equipment (UE) which supports a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS), the method comprising:

obtaining first indication information indicating a Multicast/Broadcast over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe reserved for an MBSFN;
obtaining second indication information indicating a subframe in the MBSFN subframe, the subframe decoding a Physical Multicast CHannel (PMCH);
and
when a first subframe is indicated as the MBSFN subframe but the first subframe is not indicated to decode a PMCH and is not of a subframe for a Positioning Reference Signal (PRS), receiving a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of the first subframe and decoding a corresponding Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH).
