Abstract

Provided are a method for a terminal receiving a service continuity indicator in a wireless communication system, and a device supporting same. A terminal may transmit a single-cell point-to-multipoint (SCPTM) service list to a serving cell and receive a service continuity indicator from the serving cell. The service continuity indicator may comprise first service information indicating an SCPTM service, among the SCPTM service list, that may be provided to the terminal by a target cell through SCPTM transmission.

Claims (29)

1. A method of a user equipment for receiving a service continuity indicator in a wireless communication system, comprising:

transmitting a Single-Cell Point-to-Multipoint (SCPTM) service list to a serving cell; and

receiving the service continuity indicator from the serving cell,

wherein the service continuity indicator includes first service information indicating SCPTM services available to be provided to the user equipment from a target cell via SCPTM transmission, among services listed in the SCPTM service list.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, by user equipment, a unicast service request message to the target cell for services not being indicated by the first service information, among services listed in the SCPTM service list.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service continuity indicator further includes second service information indicating SCPTM services not available to be provided to the user equipment from the target cell via SCPTM transmission, among services listed in the SCPTM service list.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service continuity indicator is transmitting by being included in a handover command message.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

transmitting, by user equipment, a unicast service request message to the target cell for services being indicated by the second service information.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving, by user equipment, services being indicated by the second service information from the target cell via unicast transmission.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving, by user equipment, services being indicated by the first service information from the target cell via SCPTM transmission.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein the SCPTM service list includes SCPTM services of interest in which the user equipment is interested.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the SCPTM service list is transmitted by being included in a MBMS interest indication message.

10. The method of claim 4 , wherein the SCPTM service list includes services currently being received by the user equipment from the serving cell via SCPTM transmission.

11. The method of claim 4 , wherein the service continuity indicator corresponds to a temporary mobile group identity (TMGI).

12. The method of claim 4 , wherein the service continuity indicator corresponds to a service ID.

13. The method of claim 4 , wherein the service continuity indicator corresponds to a service index corresponding to a TMGI.

14. A user equipment for receiving a service continuity indicator in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connecting the memory and the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured:

to control the transceiver so as to transmit a Single-Cell Point-to-Multipoint (SCPTM) service list to a serving cell, and

to control the transceiver so as to receive the service continuity indicator from the serving cell,

wherein the service continuity indicator includes first service information indicating SCPTM services available to be provided to the user equipment from a target cell via SCPTM transmission, among services listed in the SCPTM service list.

15. The user equipment of claim 14 , wherein the service continuity indicator further includes second service information indicating SCPTM services not available to be provided to the user equipment from the target cell via SCPTM transmission, among services listed in the SCPTM service list.
