METHOD FOR PROVIDING NOTIFICATIONS FOR MULTI-MEDIA BROADCAST/MULTICAST SERVICE

摘要

A method for providing notifications for Multi-media Broadcast/Multicast Service comprising steps of configuring a MBMS notification channel or a service channel by a RNC; sending information relevant to the MBMS service to a base station by the RNC; calculating a location indicated by a transmission notification according to the received information by the base station; and transmitting the MBMS notification channel by the base station. With the service relevant parameters transferred to the Node B, the notification indicated location NI corresponding to each service in each frame can be calculated by the Node B to reduce the traffic through the interface lub. The traffic of information transferred between the RNC and the base station is decreased so that the network resource is utilized effectively.
