Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for a user equipment receiving MBMS service processing a semi-permanent scheduling from an MBSFN subframe. A method for a user equipment receiving the multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) processing a downlink scheduling in a mobile communication system of the present invention comprises: a detection step of detecting the occurrence of the downlink scheduling in a random transmission time interval; a decision step of deciding whether to process the downlink scheduling, depending on whether the user equipment is set to a transmission mode 9 or whether the transmission time interval belongs to a multimedia broadcast multicast service single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe; and a processing step of processing or disregarding the downlink scheduling based on the result of the decision.

Claims

1. A method by a terminal in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information for a multimedia broadcast/multicast service frequency network (MBSFN) subframe;

receiving a downlink assignment to receive a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) for a first transmission time interval (TTI); and

when the terminal is configured with a transmission mode 9 and a subframe corresponding to a second TTI is the MBSFN subframe based on the configuration information;

receiving a physical multicast channel (PMCH) in the subframe if the second TTI is different from the first TTI, and

receiving the PDSCH in the subframe based on the downlink assignment if the second TTI corresponds to the first TTI.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

identifying whether a measurement gap is not configured in the first TTI.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the receiving of the PDSCH in the subframe based on the downlink assignment comprises:

if the measurement gap is not configured in the first TTI, receiving the PDSCH in the subframe based on the downlink assignment.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

if the subframe corresponding to the second TTI is not the MBSFN subframe, receiving the PDSCH in the subframe based on the downlink assignment.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the downlink assignment is configured through an activated semi-persistent scheduling.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration information comprises an MBSFN subframe configuration list included in the system information block type 2.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the MBSFN subframe is indicated by the MBSFN subframe configuration list.

8. A terminal in a mobile communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals to and from a base station; and

a controller configured to;

control the transceiver to receive configuration information for a multimedia broadcast/multicast service frequency network (MBSFN) subframe,

receive a downlink assignment to receive a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) for a first transmission time interval (TTI), and

when the terminal is configured with a transmission mode 9 and a subframe corresponding to a second TTI is the MBSFN subframe based on the configuration information;

receive a physical multicast channel (PMCH) in the subframe if the second TTI is different from the first TTI, and

receive the PDSCH in the subframe based on the downlink assignment if the second TTI corresponds to the first TTI.

9. The terminal of claim 8, wherein the controller is further configured to identify whether a measurement gap is not configured in the first TTI.

10. The terminal of claim 9, wherein the controller is further configured to, if the terminal is configured with the transmission mode 9, the subframe corresponding to the second TTI is the MBSFN subframe based on the configuration information and the measurement gap is not configured in the first TTI, receive the PDSCH in the subframe based on the downlink assignment.

11. The terminal of claim 8, wherein the controller is further configured to, if the subframe corresponding to the second TTI is not the MBSFN subframe, receive the PDSCH in the subframe based on the downlink assignment.

12. The terminal of claim 8, wherein the downlink assignment is configured through an activated semi-persistent scheduling.

13. The terminal of claim 8, wherein the configuration information comprises an MBSFN subframe configuration list included in the system information block type 2.

14. The terminal of claim 13, wherein the MBSFN subframe is indicated by the MBSFN subframe configuration list.
