Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Embodiments herein provide a method for managing control information of MBS services in a wireless network. The method includes broadcasting, by a BS ( 200 ) in the wireless network, a first message with scheduling information of a second message to a plurality of UEs ( 100 A) in the wireless network. The method includes receiving, by a UE ( 100 ) in the plurality of UEs ( 100 A), the first message. The method includes broadcasting, by the BS ( 200 ), the second message includes the control information of the MBS services to the plurality of UEs ( 100 A) based on the scheduling information. The method includes receiving, by the UE ( 100 ), the second message based on the scheduling information in the first message. The method includes accessing, by the UE ( 100 ), the interested MBS service from the BS ( 200 ) using the control information in the second message.

Claims (69)

1 . A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a system information block including configuration information on a control message for multicast broadcast service (MBS);

receiving, from the base station, the control message based on the configuration information and a specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) for the MBS, the control message including control information on the MBS; and

receiving, from the base station, data associated with the MBS based on the control information,

wherein a modification period associated with the control message is configured for the MBS, and

wherein, in case that the MBS is served on a secondary cell (SCell), the MBS is not served on a primary cell (PCell).

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection; and

receiving, from the base station, an RRC reconfiguration message including information on the MBS based on the RRC connection.

3 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein a bandwidth part (BWP) associated with the MBS is configured based on the system information block,

wherein the BWP is defined for receiving the control information on the MBS, and

wherein the MBS is supported on some BWPs of an entire bandwidth of the base station.

4 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein control information on the MBS for the SCell is informed based on an RRC reconfiguration message, and

wherein a broadcast signaling of MBS control information and a unicast signaling of MBS control information is switched based on a number of UEs in a cell.

5 . A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a system information block including configuration information on a control message for multicast broadcast service (MBS);

transmitting the control message based on the configuration information and a specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) for the MBS, the control message including control information on the MBS; and

transmitting data associated with the MBS based on the control information,

wherein a modification period associated with the control message is configured for the MBS, and

wherein, in case that the MBS is served on a secondary cell (SCell), the MBS is not served on a primary cell (PCell).

6 . The method of claim 5 ,

wherein a radio resource control (RRC) connection is established for a terminal, and

wherein an RRC reconfiguration message including information on the MBS based on the RRC connection is transmitted to the terminal.

7 . The method of claim 5 ,

wherein a bandwidth part (BWP) associated with the MBS is configured based on the system information block,

wherein the BWP is defined for receiving the control information on the MBS, and

wherein the MBS is supported on some BWPs of an entire bandwidth of the base station.

8 . The method of claim 5 ,

wherein control information on the MBS for the SCell is informed based on an RRC reconfiguration message, and

wherein a broadcast signaling of MBS control information and a unicast signaling of MBS control information is switched based on a number of UEs in a cell.

9 . A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a base station via the transceiver, a system information block including configuration information on a control message for multicast broadcast service (MBS),

receive, from the base station via the transceiver, the control message based on the configuration information and a specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) for the MBS, the control message including control information on the MBS, and

receive, from the base station via the transceiver, data associated with the MBS based on the control information,

wherein a modification period associated with the control message is configured for the MBS, and

wherein, in case that the MBS is served on a secondary cell (SCell), the MBS is not served on a primary cell (PCell).

10 . The terminal of claim 9 ,

wherein the controller is further configured to:

establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection, and

receive, from the base station via the transceiver, an RRC reconfiguration message including information on the MBS based on the RRC connection.

11 . The terminal of claim 9 ,

wherein a bandwidth part (BWP) associated with the MBS is configured based on the system information block,

wherein the BWP is defined for receiving the control information on the MBS, and

wherein the MBS is supported on some BWPs of an entire bandwidth of the base station.

12 . The terminal of claim 9 ,

wherein control information on the MBS for the SCell is informed based on an RRC reconfiguration message, and

wherein a broadcast signaling of MBS control information and a unicast signaling of MBS control information is switched based on a number of UEs in a cell.

13 . A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver, a system information block including configuration information on a control message for multicast broadcast service (MBS),

broadcast, via the transceiver, the control message based on the configuration information and a specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) for the MBS, the control message including control information on the MBS, and

broadcast, via the transceiver, data associated with the MBS based on the control information,

wherein a modification period associated with the control message is configured for the MBS, and

wherein, in case that the MBS is served on a secondary cell (SCell), the MBS is not served on a primary cell (PCell).

14 . The base station of claim 13 ,

wherein a radio resource control (RRC) connection is established for a terminal, and

wherein an RRC reconfiguration message including information on the MBS based on the RRC connection is transmitted to the terminal.

15 . The base station of claim 13 ,

wherein a bandwidth part (BWP) associated with the MBS is configured based on the system information block,

wherein the BWP is defined for receiving the control information on the MBS, and
