MBMS FEEDBACK AND NEIGHBORING CELL MEASUREMENT REPORTING

摘要

A method and equipment by which a mobile station receiving a point-to-multicast transmission from a radio access network (RAN) of a wireless communication system communicates information to the RAN of use in the mobile changing to a neighboring cell for receiving the transmission; in particular, the mobile station indicates to the RAN whether cell reselection parameters for the neighboring cell have been received, and/or whether neighboring cell information indicating parameters for receiving the transmission in the neighboring cell have also been received by the mobile. In a typical embodiment, the mobile would indicate not only whether parameters for receiving the transmission in the neighboring cell have been received, but which set of parameters have been received. The information of use in the mobile changing to the neighboring cell is communicated to the RAN in an acknowledgment message uplinked on a packet access control channel.
