Method and apparatus for managing carrier of multicast and broadcast service

摘要

A method of managing carriers in a terminal of a multi-carrier system is provided. The method includes switching from a primary carrier to an MBS carrier for an MBS, receiving MBS-associated data from a base station through the MBS carrier, returning to the primary carrier from the MBS carrier after receiving the MBS-associated data, and communicating with the base station through the primary carrier.

1. A method of managing carriers in a terminal of a multi-carrier system, the method comprising:
switching from a primary carrier to a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) carrier for an MBS; receiving MBS-associated data from a base station through the MBS carrier; returning to the primary carrier from the MBS carrier after receiving the MBS-associated data; and communicating with the base station through the primary carrier, wherein the terminal switches to the MBS carrier periodically based on a variable pattern of a time period in which the terminal stays on the primary carrier, and wherein the MBS-associated data includes an MBS configuration message, an MBS MAP, and MBS content.
