9. A method of receiving a service in a user equipment of a wireless communication system based on Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) transmission, the method comprising:

receiving a plurality of transport blocks from a base station in a predefined period; and

receiving the multimedia broadcast/multicast service, when service identification of a multimedia broadcast/multicast service subscribed to by the user equipment is included in a second transport block of the plurality of transport blocks that includes a control signaling, and when a notification indicator in a first transport block of the plurality of transport blocks is activated, wherein the first and second transport blocks are different;

wherein the first transport block comprises downlink control information, and the downlink control information comprises:

position information of the second transport block,

modulation and coding information of the second transport block, and

the notification indicator;

the method further comprising determining whether the service identification of the multimedia broadcast/multicast service subscribed to by the user equipment is included in the second transport block by:

obtaining the position information and the modulation and coding information of the second transport block from the downlink control information;

searching the second transport block according to the position information;

decoding and demodulating the searched second transport block according to the modulation and coding information;

obtaining modified services information from the decoded and demodulated second transport block; and

determining whether the service identification of the multimedia broadcast/multicast service subscribed to by the user equipment is included in the modified services information.

10. A method performed by a base station of a wireless communication system based on Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) transmission, the method comprising:

in the base station, activating a notification indicator in a first transport block that is sent at a starting time of a predefined period, before starting to transmit a new multimedia broadcast/multicast service, and updating a second transport block that includes a control signaling, according to the new multimedia broadcast/multicast service, wherein the first and second transport blocks are different; and

sending the first transport block.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the first transport block is transmitted in a MBSFN sub-frame, and the control signaling is a Multicast Control Channel (MCCH) signaling.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the predefined period is a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) period.

13. A user equipment for use in a communication system supporting Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) transmission, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a plurality of transport blocks from a base station in a predefined period;

at least one processor configured to determine whether a notification indicator in a first transport block of the plurality of transport blocks is activated; and

the at least one processor configured to determine whether a service identification of a multimedia broadcast/multicast service subscribed to by the user equipment is included in a second transport block of the plurality of transport blocks including a control signaling, when the notification indicator is activated, wherein the first and second transport blocks are different;

wherein the receiver is configured to receive the multimedia broadcast/multicast service, when the service identification of the multimedia broadcast/multicast service subscribed to by the user equipment is included in the second transport block.
