Method and apparatus for securing quality of communication service to mobile terminal

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided for securing a quality of service of packet data service provided in a communication system by enabling mobile terminals that receive the packet data service in the RRC-idle mode to provide information to the network regarding the quality of the received service. A mobile receiving a specific service, for example MBMS, may provide information related to the quality of the received service or the results of measurements performed to determine the quality of the received service to a network via a common control channel either in response to a measurement request from the network or if the mobile terminal determines that the quality of the received service is below a minimum quality of service to be secured.
