Abstract
The present invention is directed to interrupting use of a frequency layer convergence scheme that favors selection of a cell on a preferred frequency of a joined point-to-multipoint service. Specifically, a mobile terminal that has joined a point-to-multipoint service having a preferred frequency uses a frequency layer convergence scheme for selecting a cell. The frequency layer convergence scheme favors the selection of a cell on the preferred frequency layer. However, use of the frequency layer convergence scheme is interrupted upon an occurrence of a trigger.

37. A method of frequency selection for an MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service) service, the method performed by a mobile terminal and comprising:
-
receiving a message that instructs an interruption of a MBMS frequency selection procedure, wherein the message initiates a reconfiguration procedure; and stopping the MBMS frequency selection procedure if the mobile terminal is not in CELL_DCH state, wherein the MBMS frequency selection procedure allows the mobile terminal to select a preferred frequency of the MBMS service. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

51. A method of transmitting a message in order for a mobile terminal to perform frequency selection for an MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service) service, the method performed by a network and comprising:
-
transmitting the message that instructs an interruption of a MBMS frequency selection procedure, wherein the message initiates a reconfiguration procedure, wherein the mobile terminal stops the MBMS frequency selection procedure according to the transmitted message if the mobile terminal is not in CELL_DCH state, and wherein the MBMS frequency selection procedure allows the mobile terminal to select a preferred frequency of the MBMS service. - View Dependent Claims (52, 53, 54, 55)
