Paging apparatus and method in a mobile communication system providing multimedia broadcast multicast service

A method of receiving, at a UE (User Equipment), paging for a first service while a second service, different from the first service, is in progress in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

• providing, to the UE, the first service through a primary carrier;
• providing, to the UE, the second service through a secondary carrier having a different frequency from the primary carrier;
• receiving paging information for the first service through the secondary carrier while receiving the second service through the secondary carrier;
• and
• receiving the first service through the primary carrier by switching a reception frequency of the UE from the secondary carrier to the primary carrier in response to the paging information received through the secondary carrier,
• wherein the UE reads the primary carrier based on the paging information received through the secondary carrier.

An apparatus of receiving, at a UE (User Equipment), paging for a first service while a second service, different from the first service, is in progress in a mobile communication system, wherein the first service is provided through a primary carrier and the second service is provided through a secondary carrier, the secondary carrier having a different frequency from the primary carrier, the apparatus comprising:

• a first receiver being adapted to receive paging information for the first service through the secondary carrier while receiving the second service through the secondary carrier by oscillating the primary carrier or the secondary carrier as a reception frequency;
• a second receiver being adapted to receive the first service through the primary carrier by switching a reception frequency of the UE from the secondary carrier to the primary carrier in response to the paging information received through the secondary carrier;
• and
• a controller for controlling the primary carrier or the secondary carrier to be oscillated as the reception frequency of the first receiver if the UE receives paging information,
• wherein the UE reads the primary carrier based on the paging information received through the secondary carrier.

A method of receiving, at a User Equipment (UE), paging for a first service from a Node B in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the UE, paging indication information through a secondary carrier while receiving a second service through the secondary carrier;
• receiving, by the UE, paging information for the first service through the secondary carrier based on the received paging indication information;
• and
• receiving, by the UE, the first service through a primary carrier by switching a reception frequency of the UE from the secondary carrier to the primary carrier based on the paging information,
• wherein the UE reads the primary carrier based on the paging information, and
• wherein the secondary carrier has a different frequency from the primary carrier.

A method of receiving, at a User Equipment (UE), paging for a first service from a Node B in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving paging information for the first service through a secondary carrier while receiving a second service through the secondary carrier;
• and
• receiving the first service through a primary carrier by switching a reception frequency of the UE from the secondary carrier to the primary carrier based on the paging information,
• wherein the UE reads the primary carrier based on the paging information, and
• wherein the secondary carrier has a different frequency from the primary carrier.

An apparatus of receiving, at a User Equipment (UE), paging for a first service from a Node B in a mobile communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive paging information for the first service through a secondary carrier while receiving a second service through the secondary carrier, and configured to receive the first service through a primary carrier after a reception frequency of the UE is switched from the secondary carrier to the primary carrier based on the paging information;
• and
• a controller configured to read the primary carrier based on the paging information, and configured to switch the reception frequency between the primary carrier and the secondary carrier, based on the paging information,
• wherein the secondary carrier has a different frequency from the primary carrier.

An apparatus for receiving paging for a first service at a User Equipment (UE) from a Node B in a mobile communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• an oscillator;
• a receiver configured to receive paging information for the first service through a secondary carrier while receiving a second service through the secondary carrier, and configured to receive the first service through a primary carrier, after a reception frequency of the UE is switched from the secondary carrier to the primary carrier based on the paging information;
• and
• a controller configured to read the primary carrier based on the paging information, and configured to control the oscillator to switch the reception frequency between the primary carrier and the secondary carrier, based on the paging information,
• wherein the secondary carrier has a different frequency from the primary carrier.
