Abstract

In a mobile communication system for transmitting broadcast data and/or multicast data to a mobile station, a second network is configured to notify the mobile station of a service identifier of the second network for identifying the broadcast data and/or multicast data available in the second network, when the mobile station performs roaming from a first network to the second network; and the mobile station is configured to receive the broadcast data and/or multicast data from the second network, by using the service identifier of the second network.

Claims (9)

1. A mobile communication system for transmitting broadcast data and/or multicast data to a mobile station, comprising:

a second network configured to notify the mobile station of a service identifier generated in the second network for identifying the broadcast data and/or multicast data available in the second network, when the mobile station performs roaming from a first network to the second network; wherein

the mobile station is configured to receive the broadcast data and/or multicast data from the second network using the service identifier generated in the second network and delete a service identifier generated in the first network for identifying the broadcast data and/or multicast data available in the first network, when the mobile station receives the service identifier generated in the second network.

2. A mobile station comprising:

a controller configured to control a service identifier for identifying broadcast data and/or multicast data available in a predetermined network;

a roaming processor configured to perform roaming between a plurality of networks;

an acquirer configured to acquire, from a second network, a service identifier generated in the second network for identifying the broadcast data and/or multicast data available in the second network, when the mobile station performs roaming from a first network to the second network; and

a data receiver configured to receive the broadcast data and/or multicast data from the second network using the service identifier generated in the second network, wherein

the controller is configured to delete a service identifier generated in the first network for identifying the broadcast data and/or multicast data available in the first network, when the acquirer receives the service identifier generated in the second network.
