Method for providing continuity of MBMS service and device supporting the same
Disclosed are: a method for providing continuity of a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service, and a device supporting the same. The method may include: entering a radio resource control (RRC) connected state with respect to a first cell; receiving MBMS-related system information from the first cell; determining whether a mobility condition for continuity of an MBMS service is satisfied based on the received system information; and entering an RRC idle state when it is determined that the mobility condition is satisfied, and the UE does not supports a handover operation.
1. A method performed by a narrow band (NB) internet of things (IoT) user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
entering a radio resource control (RRC) connected state with respect to a first cell;
receiving multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS)-related system information from the first cell;
entering an RRC idle state, when a mobility condition for continuity of an MBMS service is satisfied;
performing a cell reselection procedure with respect to a second cell to receive the MBMS service, upon entering the RRC idle state; and
receiving the MBMS service through multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) transmission or single cell point-to-multipoint (SC-PTM) transmission from the second cell,
wherein the NB-IoT UE does not support handover operation from the first cell to the second cell, and
wherein the mobility condition comprises:
a condition that the NB-IoT UE is interested in receiving the MBMS service,
a condition that the MBMS service is not provided via a first frequency provided by the first cell,
a condition that the MBMS service is provided via a second frequency provided by the second cell, and
a condition that the MBMS service is already being provided or is to be provided within a set time.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting an RRC connection request message to the second cell after the performing of the cell reselection procedure.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MBMS-related system information is a system information block 15 (SIB 15 ).
4. A narrow band (NB) internet of things (IoT) user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver; and
a processor to connect the memory and the transceiver,
wherein the processor is configured to:
enter a radio resource control (RRC) connected state with respect to a first cell;
control the transceiver to receive multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS)-related system information from the first cell;
enter an RRC idle state, when a mobility condition for continuity of an MBMS service is satisfied;
perform a cell reselection procedure with respect to a second cell to receive the MBMS service, upon entering the RRC idle state; and
control the transceiver to receive the MBMS service through multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) transmission or single cell point-to-multipoint (SC-PTM) transmission from the second cell,
wherein the NB-IoT UE does not support handover operation from the first cell to the second cell, and
wherein the mobility condition comprises:
a condition that the NB-IoT UE is interested in receiving the MBMS service,
a condition that the MBMS service is not provided via a first frequency provided by the first cell,
a condition that the MBMS service is provided via a second frequency provided by the second cell, and
a condition that the MBMS service is already being provided or is to be provided within a set time.
5. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to transmit an RRC connection request message to the second cell after the cell reselection procedure is performed.
6. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the MBMS-related system information is a system information block 15 (SIB 15 ).
