Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique which combines, with IoT technology a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail businesses, security- and safety-related services, and the like) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. The present invention provides a method and device for a base station to notify a terminal of a time point for applying a configuration for MBS communication.

Claims (35)

1. A method performed by a base station for multicast and broadcast service (MBS) communication, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a message related to a configuration for MBS communication;

in case that the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication includes information on a time point of applying the configuration for the MBS communication:

receiving, from the UE, a reception complete message indicating that the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication has been received; and

receiving, from the UE, an application complete message indicating that the configuration for the MBS communication has been applied, in case that the configuration for the MBS communication is applied to the UE; and

in case that the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication does not include information on the time point of applying the configuration for the MBS communication;

receiving, from the UE, only one of the reception complete message and the application complete message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information on the time point of applying the configuration for the MBS communication includes at least one of a system frame number (SFN) value, a subframe number, a slot number, or a symbol number.

3. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for multicast and broadcast service (MBS) communication, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a message related to a configuration for the MBS communication;

applying the configuration for the MBS communication based on the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication;

in case that the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication includes information on a time point of applying the configuration for the MBS communication:

transmitting, to the base station, a reception complete message indicating that the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication has been received; and

transmitting, to the base station, an application complete message indicating that the configuration for MBS communication has been applied; and

in case that the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication does not include information on the time point of applying the configuration for the MBS communication, transmitting, to the base station, only one of the reception complete message and the application complete message.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the information on the time point of applying the configuration for the MBS communication includes at least one of a system frame number (SFN) value, a subframe number, a slot number, or a symbol number.

5. A base station for multicast and broadcast service (MBS) communication, the base station comprising:

a transceiver;

a controller coupled with the transceiver, and configured to:

transmit to a user equipment (UE), a message related to a configuration for the MBS communication,

in case that the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication includes information on a time point of applying the configuration for the MBS communication:

receive, from the UE, a reception complete message indicating that the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication has been received; and

receive, from the UE, an application complete message indicating that the configuration for the MBS communication has been applied, in case that the configuration for the MBS communication is applied to the UE; and

in case that the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication does not include information on the time point of applying the configuration for the MBS communication, receive, from the UE, only one of the reception complete message and the application complete message.

6. The base station of claim 5 , wherein the information on the time point of applying the configuration for the MBS communication includes at least one of a system frame number (SFN) value, a subframe number, a slot number, or a symbol number.

7. A user equipment (UE) for a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) communication, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver, and configured to:

receive, from a base station, a message related to a configuration for the MBS communication; and

apply the configuration for the MBS communication based on the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication,

in case that the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication includes information on a time point of applying the configuration for the MBS communication:

transmit, to the base station, a reception complete message indicating that the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication has been received, and

transmit, to the base station, an application complete message indicating that the configuration for MBS communication has been applied; and

in case that the message related to the configuration for the MBS communication does not include information on the time point of applying the configuration for the MBS communication, transmit, to the base station, only one of the reception complete message and the application complete message.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the information on the time point of applying the configuration for the MBS communication includes at least one of a system frame number (SFN) value, a subframe number, a slot number, or a symbol number.
