Abstract
A multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) in a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) includes a UTRAN that provides an MBMS service. The MBMS service-related information is exchanged between the UTRAN and a terminal or between nodes in the UTRAN by using an MBMS identification so that a user group receiving MBMS data or a data of a specific MBMS service can be identified.
Claims27
A method of providing a point-to-multipoint service in a radio communication system, the method comprising:
- generating an identifier for indicating the point-to-multipoint service, wherein the identifier is configured by a radio resource control (RRC) layer;
- adding the generated identifier to a data unit which is for the point-to-multipoint service in a medium access control (MAC) layer, wherein the identifier is included in a header of the data unit;
- and
- transmitting the data unit to a mobile terminal via a Forward Access Channel (FACH) or a (Downlink Shared Channel) DSCH.
A method of receiving a point-to-multipoint service in a radio communications system, the method comprising:
- receiving a data unit including an identifier which indicates the point-to-multipoint service via a Forward Access Channel (FACH) or a (Down link Shared Channel) DSCH, wherein the identifier is included in a header of the data unit and the identifier was configured by a radio resource control (RRC) layer of a network;
- identifying the data unit is for the point-to-multipoint service in a medium access control (MAC) layer using the identifier;
- and
- transferring a point-to-multipoint service data of the data unit to an upper layer.
