Paging method for an MBMS service in a mobile communication system
First Claim
1. A method for paging a User Equipment (UE) by a radio access network in order to provide a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) to the UE in a mobile communication system including at least one UE and the radio access network, the method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a first channel information on a paging indication channel to the at least one UE, the paging indication channel identifying existence of a paging for the MBMS;
transmitting a second channel information on a control channel to the at least one UE, the control channel transmitting paging information of the MBMS;
transmitting the paging indication channel in response to the MBMS, when a paging request of the UE occurs in response to the MBMS; and
transmitting the paging information of the MBMS through the control channel in response to transmission of the paging indication channel.

Abstract
A paging method for informing a UE of the existence or absence of control information in transmission of the control information according to the support of an MBMS in a mobile communication system. In the method, paging according to a voice and packet service and paging according to an MBMS are differentiated from each other. Accordingly, a first paging indication channel for identifying the paging according to the voice and packet service and a second paging indication channel for identifying the paging according to the MBMS are differentiated from each other and used.

8. A method for receiving a paging for a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) by a User Equipment (UE) from a radio access network providing the MBMS to the UE in a mobile communication system including at least one UE and the radio access network, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a first channel information on a paging indication channel, the paging indication channel identifying existence of a paging for the MBMS;
receiving a second channel information on a control channel from the radio access network, the control channel transmitting paging information of the MBMS;
receiving the paging indication channel from the radio access network through the first channel information;
receiving the control channel from the radio access network through the second channel information, when transmission of the control channel corresponding to the MBMS is checked by the paging indication channel; and
checking if the MBMS has been paged by the paging information received through the control channel. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
