POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT SERVICE MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL ENTITY STRUCTURE

摘要

The present invention relates to combining point-to-multipoint service data in a mobile terminal of a wireless communication system. A mobile terminal receiving MBMS service data of a current cell in a MAC entity while concurrently receiving the same MBMS service data from a neighboring cell in a MAC entity discards any received data not related to MBMS. Ac¬ cordingly, any unnecessary operation of the terminal in simultaneously receiving the MBMS service from different cells is minimized. Thus, the mobile terminal effectively receives the MBMS service.
