US 2022/0286918 A1 · MBMS Service Communication Method and Base Station

Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide an MBMS service communication method and a base station, and relate to the communication field. The method includes: A source base station obtains first group identity information of an MBMS service of a terminal device in a neighboring cell; and the source base station sends the first group identity information to the terminal device. In this application, after moving to or accessing the neighboring cell, the terminal device may continue to receive service content and information of the MBMS service based on the first group identity information that is of the MBMS service in the neighboring cell and that is obtained from the source base station.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A communication method comprising:

obtaining, by a source base station of a terminal device, first group identity information of a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) in a neighboring cell;
and
sending, by the source base station, the first group identity information to the terminal device, the first group identity information enabling the terminal device to receive the MBMS in the neighboring cell.

A base station comprising:

a non-transitory memory and a processor, wherein the memory is coupled to the processor;
and
the memory stores program instructions;
and when the program instructions are executed by the processor, the base station is caused to perform following:
obtaining first group identity information of an multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service in a neighboring cell;
and
sending the first group identity information to a terminal device served by the base station, the first group identity information enabling the terminal device to receive the MBMS in the neighboring cell.

A base station comprising:

a non-transitory memory and a processor, wherein the memory is coupled to the processor;
and
the memory stores program instructions;
and when the program instructions are executed by the processor, the base station is caused to perform following:
receiving request information sent by a source base station, wherein the request information requests, from the base station, group identity information of an multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) in a neighboring cell of the base station;
and
indicating first group identity information of the MBMS in the neighboring cell to the source base station based on the request information.
