Method for paging user equipment over dedicated channel in mobile communication system for supporting multimedia broadcast/multicast service MBMS

摘要

A method for paging a UE (User Equipment) over a dedicated channel in a mobile communication system for supporting a Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS). The paging method can indicate the presence or absence of control information associated with the MBMS during a call-connection mode established over a dedicated channel in a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) communication system. If a Serving Radio Network Controller (SRNC) for supporting the MBMS recognizes the beginning of the MBMS in which the UE is joined, it requests from a transmission mode needed for the MBMS from one or more CRNCs (Control Radio Network Controllers) controlling a plurality of cells communicating with the UE, such that it acquires MBMS control channel (MCCH) information including control information for supporting the MBMS. Then, the SRNC transmits a paging message including the MCCH information to the UE over a dedicated channel.
