Abstract

A method for processing a signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises receiving information on at least one frequency from a network, selecting a frequency from the at least one frequency corresponding to a specific service, and transmitting, to the network, a message indicating the selected frequency. Further, the method further comprises receiving a command for performing a handover from a serving cell to a target cell providing the specific service through the selected frequency.

Claims (33)

1. A communication method, performed by a user equipment (UE), the communication method comprising:

receiving, from a network, system information including one or more frequencies for a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service;

identifying, using the received system information, a specific frequency among the one or more frequencies for the MBMS service;

configuring a radio resource control (RRC) message including the identified specific frequency for the MBMS service; and

transmitting, to the network, the RRC message including the identified specific frequency for the MBMS service.

2. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein the system information further indicates a mapping relationship between a plurality of frequencies and a plurality of MBMS services.

3. The communication method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a command for performing a handover from a serving cell to a target cell providing the MBMS service through the identified specific frequency.

4. The communication method of claim 3 , wherein the target cell from at least one neighbor cell providing the MBMS service is selected through the identified specific frequency.

5. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC message further includes at least one of an identity of the MBMS service or area information of the MBMS service.

6. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is in an RRC connected state with the network.

7. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein the system information contains necessary information for the UE to access a base station.

8. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein the system information includes a master information block (MIB), a scheduling block (SB) and a system information block (SIB).

9. The communication method of claim 8 , wherein the MIB enables the UE to determine bandwidth of a corresponding cell.

10. The communication method of claim 8 , wherein the SB indicates a transmission cycle.

11. A user equipment, comprising:

a receiving module configured to receive a signal;

a transmitting module configured to transmit a signal; and

a processor configured to control the receiving module and the transmitting module,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive, from a network, system information including one or more frequencies for a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service using the receiving module,

identify, using the received system information, a specific frequency among the one or more frequencies for the MBMS service,

configure a radio resource control (RRC) message including the identified specific frequency for the MBMS service, and

transmit, to the network, the RRC message including the identified specific frequency for the MBMS service using the transmitting module.

12. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the system information further indicates a mapping relationship between a plurality of frequencies and a plurality of MBMS services.

13. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the receiving module is further configured to receive a command for performing a handover from a serving cell to a target cell providing the MBMS service through the identified specific frequency.

14. The user equipment of claim 13 , wherein the target cell from at least one neighbor cell provides the MBMS service through the identified specific frequency.

15. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the RRC message further includes at least one of an identity of the MBMS service or area information of the MBMS service.

16. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the user equipment is in an RRC connected state with the network.

17. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the system information contains necessary information for the user equipment to access a base station.

18. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the system information includes a master information block (MIB), a scheduling block (SB) and a system information block (SIB).

19. The user equipment of claim 18 , wherein the MIB enables the user equipment to determine bandwidth of a corresponding cell.

20. The user equipment of claim 18 , wherein the SB indicates a transmission cycle.
