METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NOTIFYING UNAVAILABILITY OF BROADCAST/MULTICAST SERVICES

摘要

A method for notifying a broadcast/multicast control (BMC) entity of service unavailability in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is disclosed. When a user activates broadcast/multicast services (BMS), the WTRU receives BMS messages in accordance with the BMS schedule. A radio resources control (RRC) entity constantly monitors whether BMS is available in a cell. If the RRC entity detects the BMS service is not available, the RRC entity sends a message to the BMC entity to inform the unavailability of the BMS.
