The present invention discloses a method for monitoring Multicast Control Channel (MCCH) notification information, comprising: in a Multicast-Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) cell that includes more than two MCCHs, when user equipment (UE) determines that the required MBMS service is not started, the UE further determines whether there is a correspondence relationship between the required MBMS service and the MCCHs, if yes, the UE just monitors the notification information of the MCCH corresponding to the required MBMS service; otherwise, the UE monitors the notification information of all the MCCHs in the MBSFN cell. The invention also discloses a device for monitoring MCCH notification information and user equipment. The present invention guarantees that the UE can timely receive an MBMS service that is not started currently in a cell with overlapped MBSFN areas. |

1. A method for monitoring Multicast Control Channel (MCCH) notification information, comprising:
in a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) cell that includes more than two MCCHs, when user equipment (UE) determines that a required MBMS service is not started, further determining by the UE whether there is a correspondence relationship between the required MBMS service and the MCCHs, if there is, only monitoring notification information of an MCCH corresponding to the required MBMS service, otherwise, monitoring notification information of all the MCCHs in the MBSFN cell, wherein the UE is the one that is in RRC_IDLE status or RRC_CONNECTED status; the UE is the one that is receiving an MBMS service or the one that is interested in receiving an MBMS service, the UE determining whether there is a correspondence relationship between the required MBMS service and the MCCHs; wherein the MBSFN cell includes more than two MCCHs and, the MBSFN cell is located in an area where more than two MBSFN areas are overlapped; the UE further obtains a correspondence relationship between an MBMS service and the MCCHs according to at least one of received Electronic Service Guide (ESG), MCCH information, short message, multimedia message, system message, Radio Resource Control (RRC) information and MCCH notification information, and further determines whether the required MBMS service has a corresponding MCCH. |
