Method and apparatus for distinguishing between services of all frequency bands and specific frequency band
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting information for distinguishing between a packet data service provided in all of a plurality of frequency bands and a packet data service provided in a specific frequency band from a Radio Network Controller (RNC) to a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system providing a plurality of packet data services through the plurality of frequency bands, the method comprising the steps of:
- starting a packet data service which the UE has joined; and
transmitting indicator information on all of said plurality of frequency bands, the indicator information indicating if the packet data service can be provided in all of said plurality of frequency bands.

Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for transmitting information for distinguishing between a packet data service in all of a plurality of frequency bands and a packet data service of a specific frequency band from a Radio Network Controller (RNC) to a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system providing a plurality of packet data services through a plurality of frequency bands, the method including the steps of starting a packet data service which the UE has joined, and transmitting indicator information to said all frequency bands, the indicator information indicating if the packet data service can be provided in said all frequency bands.

7. A method for receiving information for distinguishing between a packet data service provided in all of a plurality of frequency bands and a packet data service of a specific frequency band by a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system providing a plurality of packet data services through the plurality of frequency bands, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving indicator information which indicates that a corresponding packet data service can be provided in all of the plurality of frequency bands for each of at least one packet data service that the UE has joined;
when movement of the UE from a first frequency band in which the UE is currently located to a second frequency band in which a first packet data service can be provided is requested, determining if at least one second packet data service, which is due to be serviced or currently being serviced in the first frequency band exists;
when at least one second packet data service, which is due to be serviced or currently being serviced in the first frequency band exists, determining with reference to the indicator information if all of said at least one second packet data service can be provided in all of said plurality of frequency bands; and
when all of said at least one second packet data service cannot be provided in said all frequency bands, performing service selection based on priorities for the first packet data service and the second packet data service which cannot be provided in all of said plurality of frequency bands. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. An apparatus for distinguishing between a packet data service in all of a plurality of frequency bands and a packet data service of a specific frequency band in a mobile communication system providing a plurality of packet data services through at least a plurality of all frequency bands, the apparatus comprising:
-
a Radio Network Controller (RNC) for transmitting indicator information indicating that a packet data service can be provided in all frequency bands of said plurality of frequency bands, the indicator information; and
a User Equipment for determining if at least one second packet data service which is due to be serviced or currently being serviced in a first frequency band exists when movement of the UE from the first frequency band in which the UE is currently located to a second frequency band in which a first packet data service can be provided is requested, determining with reference to the indicator information if all of said at least one second packet data service can be provided in all of said plurality of frequency bands when at least one second packet data service which is due to be serviced or currently being serviced in the first frequency band exists, and performing service selection based on priorities for the first packet data service and the second packet data service which cannot be provided in all of said plurality of frequency bands when all of said at least one second packet data service cannot be provided in all of said plurality of frequency bands. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
