CROSS-CARRIER CONTROL CHANNEL CHANGE NOTIFICATION IN BROADCAST COMMUNICATION

摘要

A method for supporting control channel change notification for at least one wireless communication unit that is capable of operating on both a first serving communication cell and has been configured with access to at least one second serving communication cell in a wireless broadcast communication system. The method comprises, at a broadcast server: supporting communication with at least one wireless communication unit via the at least one second serving communication cell; and generating a message comprising an indication that a control channel change notification will be sent in the at least one first serving communication cell. The method further comprises transmitting the message to the at least one wireless communication unit operational in the at least one second serving communication cell; and transmitting the control channel change notification in the first serving communication cell. The method applies to an eMBMS service for LTE in which a UE on a secondary cell carrier is alerted to an MCCH change notification to be transmitted on a primary cell carrier.
