CELL RESELECTION METHOD FOR RECEIVING PACKET DATA IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM SUPPORTING MBMS

摘要

A method for selecting a cell by a user equipment (UE) to receive a Multimed ia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) service in a mobile communication system which supports the MBMS service with different frequency allocations (FAs) i n the same area. In the method, a radio network controller (RNC) transmits information on an MBMS cell to the UE, and the MBMS cell information include s an MBMS offset for guaranteeing priority for cell reselection to the MBMS cell. The UE performs cell reselection using the MBMS cell information and receives the MBMS service from the reselected cell.
