Abstract
Provided are a scheduling apparatus and method for a multicast broadcast service. Scheduling information is configured with at least one of information related to a location in which each multicast broadcast service, which is identified by a unique identifier within one scheduling period, starts and information related to a location in which each multicast broadcast service ends, and a scheduling block including the configured scheduling information is generated. There is an advantage that power management of user equipment is easy, and a time delay when initially entering the MBMS and a channel change time when selecting a different MBMS are reduced.
Claims12
A scheduling method for a multicast broadcast service, comprising:
- configuring scheduling information including information related to a location within a scheduling period in which each multicast broadcast service ends, wherein each multicast broadcast service is identified by a unique identifier within one scheduling period, and wherein the scheduling information includes scheduling information for a multicast broadcast service which is not included in a current scheduling period in which the scheduling information is included;
- and
- generating a scheduling block including the configured scheduling information.
A receiving method in a user terminal, comprising:
- receiving scheduling information for at least one multicast broadcast service;
- and
- receiving the multicast broadcast service by using the scheduling information,
- wherein the scheduling information includes information related to subframe location in which each multicast broadcast service ends within a scheduling period comprising a plurality of subframes, and the scheduling information includes scheduling information for a multicast broadcast service which is not included in a current scheduling period, and the scheduling information includes information about a subframe which is not used to transmit the multicast broadcast service among the plurality of subframes.
