Method and apparatus for improving frequency prioritization in a wireless communication network

摘要

A method and apparatus are disclosed for improving frequency prioritization in a wireless communication network. The method includes the UE setting a priority on whether to prioritize MBMS reception over unicast. The method also includes the UE deciding whether to follow a redirection information or a de-prioritization information based on the UE's setting of prioritization of MBMS reception over unicast.

1. A method for improving frequency prioritization in a wireless communication network, comprising:
setting, by a user equipment (UE), a priority on whether to prioritize Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) reception over unicast; and deciding, by the UE, whether to follow a redirection information or a de-prioritization information based on the UE's setting of prioritization of MBMS reception over unicast, wherein the UE gives a highest priority in a cell selection or cell reselection procedure to a MBMS frequency if the UE prioritizes MBMS reception over unicast, and wherein the MBMS frequency, which provides a MBMS service that the UE is receiving or is interested in receiving, is in the de-prioritization information.
