Method and device for determining MBMS service of interest to terminal
Provided are a method for determining an MBMS service in which a terminal has interest in a wireless communication system, and a device supporting same. The terminal may include acquiring an SIB15 and determining whether an MBMS SAI (service area identity) for a certain MBMS service in a USD (User Service Description) is included in the SIB15, and determining the certain MBMS service to be an MBMS service of interest.
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting a first multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) interest indication message including a first set of MBMS service of interest;
receiving a SystemInformationBlockType15 (SIB15) including MBMS service area identities (SAIs) of at least one of a current carrier frequency and neighboring carrier frequencies, wherein the SIB15 is acquired from a primary cell (PCell);
determining whether a MBMS SAI for a specific MBMS service included in a user service description (USD) is also included in the SIB15;
considering that a MBMS service related to the MBMS SAI is included in a second set of MBMS service of interest based on the determination that the MBMS SAI for the specific MBMS service in the USD is also included in the SIB15; and
initiating transmission of a second MBMS interest indication message including the second set of MBMS service of interest, based on that the second set of MBMS service of interest is different from the first set of MBMS service of interest,
wherein the UE is receiving or is interested in receiving the specific MBMS service via a single cell MBMS point to multipoint radio bearer (SC-MRB),
wherein the specific MBMS service is on-going or about to start,
wherein the first set of MBMS service of interest and the second set of MBMS service of interest respectively changes after a last transmission of the first MBMS interest indication message and the second MBMS interest indication message, and
wherein the second MBMS interest indication message is not transmitted if there is no change in an MBMS frequency of interest and an MBMS service of interest and if there is a change in a service area for the MBMS service of interest.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PCell is a serving cell.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein one or more MBMS SAIs exists in the USD.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SIB15 includes an MBMS SAI.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific MBMS service is provided at a frequency belonging to a set of MBMS frequencies of interest.
6. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver; and
a processor for coupling the memory and the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:
control the transceiver to transmit a first multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) interest indication message including a first set of MBMS service of interest;
control the transceiver to receive a SystemInformationBlockType15 (SIB15) including MBMS service area identities (SAIs) of at least one of a current carrier frequency and neighboring carrier frequencies, wherein the SIB15 is acquired from a primary cell (PCell);
determine whether a MBMS SAI for a specific MBMS service included in a user service description (USD) is also included in the SIB15;
consider that a MBMS service related to the MBMS SAI is included in a second set of MBMS service of interest based on the determination that the MBMS SAI for the specific MBMS service in the USD is also included in the SIB15; and
control the transceiver to initiate transmission of a second MBMS interest indication message including the second set of MBMS service of interest, based on that the second set of MBMS service of interest is different from the first set of MBMS service of interest,
wherein the UE is receiving or is interested in receiving the specific MBMS service via a single cell MBMS point to multipoint radio bearer (SC-MRB),
wherein the specific MBMS service is on-going or about to start,
wherein the first set of MBMS service of interest and the second set of MBMS service of interest respectively changes after a last transmission of the first MBMS interest indication message and the second MBMS interest indication message, and
wherein the second MBMS interest indication message is not transmitted if there is no change in an MBMS frequency of interest and an MBMS service of interest and if there is a change in a service area for the MBMS service of interest.
