METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING CONTROL INFORMATION IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM SUPPORTING MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST/MULTICAST SERVICE

摘要

Disclosed is a method for efficiently transmitting and receiving control information messages necessary for a Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) provided in a mobile communication system. The method includes setting information elements for the control information messages to reduce unnecessary signaling overhead during the transmission of the control information. The method prevents a user equipment (UE) from performing duplicate reception on the control information, thereby reducing power consumption of a battery.
