Abstract

Provided in the present disclosure are a wireless connection control method and user equipment. The wireless connection control method includes: user equipment (UE) receiving indication information including one or more multicast and broadcast service (MBS) services; the UE determining, on the basis of the indication information, whether an MBS service of interest to the UE is present; and if an MBS service of interest to the UE is present, the UE triggering a radio resource control (RRC) connection establishment/resume procedure.

Claims (6)

1 . A Base Station (BS), comprising a processor configured to:

receive, from a second base station via Xn interface, a Radio Access Network (RAN) paging message for Multicast and broadcast Service (MBS) including an identifier related to MBS which indicates a Temporary Mobile Group Identity (TMGI), wherein the RAN paging message is not a UE-associated message; and

transmit, to a user equipment, a paging message including the TMGI.

2 . A communication method for a base station (BS), the method comprising:

receiving, from a second base station via Xn interface, a Radio Access Network (RAN) paging message for Multicast and broadcast Service (MBS) including an identifier concerning MBS which indicates a Temporary Mobile Group Identity (TMGI), wherein the RAN paging message is not a UE-associated message; and

transmitting, to a user equipment, a paging message including the TMGI.
