Abstract

Provided is a method for reporting multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) information by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: determining whether or not to perform the logging of MBMS information; logging the MBMS information if the logging is determined to be performed; and reporting the logged MBMS information to a network. Whether or not to perform the logging of the MBMS information is determined on the basis of the reception status or provision status of MBMS from the network.

Claims (30)

1. A method for reporting multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE), logging configuration information from a network;

performing, by the UE, logging of MBMS information according to the logging configuration information; and

adding, by the UE, the logged MBMS information in a report message,

wherein if an MBMS single frequency network (MBSFN) area list is included in the logging configuration information, the UE performs a measurement for the MBMS information for each MBSFN area indicated by the MBSFN area list,

wherein the MBSFN area list is used to restrict an MBSFN area for which the UE performs the logging of MBMS information,

wherein the logged MBMS information comprises at least one of reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ) and block error rate (BLER) for each MBSFN area indicated by the MBSFN area list, and

wherein the logged MBMS information further comprises an MBSFN area identity to indicate an MBSFN area in which the UE receives MBSFN transmission.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MBSFN area list comprises at least one MBSFN area identity.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the UE performs a measurement for the MBMS information in at least one MBSFN area indicated by the at least one MBSFN area identity.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting the logged MBMS information to the network.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the logged MBMS information comprises measurement results for a serving cell and for a neighbor cell.

6. A user equipment (UE) for reporting multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) information, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

a processor coupled to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

control the transceiver to receive logging configuration information from a network,

perform logging of MBMS information according to the logging configuration information, and

add the logged MBMS information in a report message,

wherein if an MBMS single frequency network (MBSFN) area list is included in the logging configuration information, the processor performs a measurement for the MBMS information for each MBSFN area indicated by the MBSFN area list,

wherein the MBSFN area list is used to restrict an MBSFN area for which the UE performs the logging of MBMS information,

wherein the logged MBMS information comprises at least one of reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ) and block error rate (BLER) for each MBSFN area indicated by the MBSFN area list, and

wherein the logged MBMS information further comprises an MBSFN area identity to indicate an MBSFN area in which the UE receives MBSFN transmission.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the MBSFN area list comprises at least one MBSFN area identity.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the processor performs a measurement for the MBMS information in at least one MBSFN area indicated by the at least one MBSFN area identity.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit the logged MBMS information to the network.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the logged MBMS information comprises measurement results for a serving cell and for a neighbor cell.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is restricted to performing the logging of MBMS information in the MBSFN area among MBSFN areas within the MBSFN area list, and to not performing the logging of MBMS information in remaining MBSFN areas within the MBSFN area list.

12. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the UE is restricted to performing the logging of MBMS information in the MBSFN area among MBSFN areas within the MBSFN area list, and to not performing the logging of MBMS information in remaining MBSFN areas within the MBSFN area list.
