Abstract

Provided are a wireless communication base station device and a wireless communication method by which overhead is reduced in MBMS of LTE. An MBMS SIB creating section ( 106 ) creates an MCCH as an MBMS SIB of notification information, and an MBMS SB creating section ( 104 ) creates an MBMS SB, including scheduling information of the MBMS SIB. An MIB creating section ( 103 ) creates an MIB, including scheduling information of the MBMS SB, and a transmitting section ( 107 ) transmits the created MBMS SIB, MBMS SB AND MIB to a terminal by following the scheduling made by a scheduling section ( 101 ).

Claims (15)

1. A radio communication base station apparatus comprising:

a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) system information block (SIB) creating section that creates an MBMS SIB including control information for MBMS broadcast information, the MBMS broadcast information including a SIB;

a multimedia broadcast multicast service scheduling block (MBMS SB) creating section that creates an MBMS SB including scheduling information for the control information;

a master information block (MIB) creating section that creates an MIB including scheduling information for the MBMS SB;

a transmitting section that transmits the created MBMS SIB, MBMS SB and MIB,

a scheduling section that performs scheduling individually between control information for MBMS data for a single frequency network (SFN) operation of transmitting identical information in a same frequency band at a same timing from a plurality of radio communication base station apparatuses, and control information for MBMS data for a non-single frequency network (non-SFN) operation that does not use the SFN operation, and

a transmitting timing adjusting section that adjusts a transmission timing such that a message commanding a radio communication terminal apparatus to acquire the control information for the MBMS broadcast information, and the MBMS SB including the scheduling information for the control information, are transmitted at the same time.

2. The radio communication base station apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a message creating section that creates a message including information indicating whether the SFN operation is adopted or the non-SFN operation is adopted.

3. A radio communication method comprising:

creating a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) system information block (SIB) including control information for MBMS broadcast information, the MBMS broadcast information including a SIB;

creating a multimedia broadcast multicast service scheduling block (MBMS SB) including scheduling information for the control information;

creating a master information block (MIB) including scheduling information for the MBMS MB;

transmitting the created MBMS SIB, MBMS SB and MIB,

performing scheduling individually between control information for MBMS data for a single frequency network (SFN) operation of transmitting identical information in a same frequency band at a same timing from a plurality of radio communication base station apparatuses, and control information for MBMS data for a non-single frequency network (non-SFN) operation that does not use the SFN operation, and

adjusting a transmission timing such that a message commanding a radio communication terminal apparatus to acquire the control information for the MBMS broadcast information, and the MBMS SB including the scheduling information for the control information, are transmitted at the same time.
