Abstract

A mobile communication system according to the present invention comprises a mobile terminal ( 60 ) and a radio control apparatus ( 20 ) for sending an MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message to the mobile terminal ( 60 ) on a DCCH. The radio control apparatus ( 20 ) comprises a controller ( 21 ) for including cell identification information in the MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message, and a transmitter ( 22 ) for sending the MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message with the cell identification information included therein to the mobile terminal ( 60 ) on the DCCH.

Claims (40)

1. A mobile communication system comprising a mobile terminal and a radio control apparatus for sending an MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message to said mobile terminal on a DCCH, said radio control apparatus comprising:

a controller for including cell identification information in said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message;

a transmitter for sending said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message with the cell identification information included therein to said mobile terminal on the DCCH; and

another controller for processing said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message if the cell identification information included in said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message is in agreement with cell identification information of an MBMS control cell of said mobile terminal.

2. A mobile communication system comprising a radio control apparatus and a mobile terminal for sending an MBMS MODIFICATION REQUEST message to said radio control apparatus on a DCCH, said mobile terminal comprising:

a controller for including cell identification information in said MBMS MODIFICATION REQUEST message; and

a transmitter for sending said MBMS MODIFICATION REQUEST message with the cell identification information included therein to said radio control apparatus on the DCCH,

wherein said controller sets said cell identification information as cell identification information of an MBMS control cell of said mobile terminal.

3. A radio control apparatus for sending an MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message to a mobile terminal on a DCCH, comprising:

a controller for including cell identification information in said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message; and

a transmitter for sending said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message with the cell identification information included therein to said mobile terminal on the DCCH,

wherein said cell identification information is used by said mobile terminal to determine whether or not to process said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message; and

if said cell identification information is in agreement with cell identification information of an MBMS control cell of said mobile terminal, said mobile terminal processes said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message.

4. The radio control apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein said mobile terminal processes other information than the cell identification information included in said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message.

5. The radio control apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein said cell identification information comprises identification information of a cell to which said mobile terminal is connected by handover while in a state of establishing an individual channel and which is included in a service area of an MBMS to be changed.

6. The radio control apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein said cell identification information comprises a primary scrambling code or a cell ID.

7. A mobile terminal for receiving an MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message from a radio control apparatus on a DCCH, comprising:

a receiver for receiving said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message with cell identification information included therein from said radio control apparatus; and

a controller for processing said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message if the cell identification information included in said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message is in agreement with cell identification information of an MBMS control cell of said mobile terminal.

8. The mobile terminal according to claim 7 , wherein said controller processes other information than the cell identification information included in said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message.

9. The mobile terminal according to claim 8 , wherein said other information comprises action information about an action which said mobile terminal is required to perform, and said controller acquires information about a radio bearer based on said action information.

10. The mobile terminal according to claim 8 , wherein said other information comprises action information about an action which said mobile terminal is required to perform, and said controller starts a service request procedure for receiving an MBMS based on said action information.

11. The mobile terminal according to claim 8 , wherein said other information comprises action information about an action which said mobile terminal is required to perform, and said controller stops receiving an MBMS based on said action information.

12. The mobile terminal according to claim 7 , wherein said cell identification information comprises identification information of a cell to which said mobile terminal is connected by handover while in a state of establishing an individual channel and which is included in a service area of an MBMS to be changed.

13. A mobile terminal for sending an MBMS MODIFICATION REQUEST message to a radio control apparatus on a DCCH, comprising:

a controller for including cell identification information in said MBMS MODIFICATION REQUEST message; and

a transmitter for sending said MBMS MODIFICATION REQUEST message with the cell identification information included therein to said radio control apparatus on the DCCH,

wherein said controller sets said cell identification information as cell identification information of an MBMS control cell of said mobile terminal.

14. The mobile terminal according to claim 13 , wherein said cell identification information comprises cell identification information of an MBMS control cell of said mobile terminal.

15. The mobile terminal according to claim 13 , wherein said cell identification information comprises identification information of a cell from which said mobile terminal has received system information.

16. The mobile terminal according to claim 7 , wherein said cell identification information comprises a primary scrambling code or a cell ID.

17. A message transmitting method for sending an MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message from a radio control apparatus to a mobile terminal on a DCCH, wherein

said radio control apparatus includes cell identification information in said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message; and

said radio control apparatus sends said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message with the cell identification information included therein to said mobile terminal on the DCCH,

wherein said cell identification information is used by said mobile terminal to determine whether or not to process said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message; and

if said cell identification information is in agreement with cell identification information of an MBMS control cell of said mobile terminal, said mobile terminal processes said MBMS MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message.

18. A message transmitting method for sending an MBMS MODIFICATION REQUEST message from a mobile terminal to a radio control apparatus on a DCCH, wherein

said mobile terminal includes cell identification information in said MBMS MODIFICATION REQUEST message; and

said mobile terminal sends said MBMS MODIFICATION REQUEST message with the cell identification information included therein to said radio control apparatus on the DCCH,

wherein a controller sets said cell identification information as cell identification information of an MBMS control cell of said mobile terminal.
