Abstract

A data transmission method and apparatus in a wireless communication system is provided. The data transmission method include dividing a multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) zone including a plurality of cells into at least one sub-zone including at least one cell, enabling a plurality of cells belonging to the MBSFN zone to transmit first multicast broadcast service (MBS) data, and enabling the cell belonging to the at least one sub-zone to transmit sub-zone data superposed with the first MBS data, wherein the sub-zone data is second MBS data.

Claims (7)

1. A data transmission method in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

dividing, by at least one base station, a multicast broadcast single frequency network MBSFN zone including a plurality of cells into at least one sub-zone including at least one cell,

wherein the at least one sub-zone is configured only with all edge cells of the plurality of cells included in the MBSFN zone;

transmitting first multicast broadcast service (MBS) data through the plurality of cells belonging to the MBSFN zone; and

transmitting second MBS data through the all edge cells belonging to the at least one sub-zone transmitted,

wherein the second MBS data is retransmission data of the first MBS data only if the at least one sub-zone is configured with all edge cells in the MBSFN zone.

2. The data transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the first MBS data and the second MBS data are transmitted by multiplying different code sets.
