Abstract

Provided are a method for transmitting and receiving broadcasting service information and a mobile station for a broadcasting service. The method for transmitting broadcasting service information at a base station, includes registering a mobile station in a first cell, wherein the first cell is a cell managed by the base station, receiving vehicle related information from the mobile station mounted on a vehicle, and broadcasting the received vehicle related information to target cells.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting broadcasting service information at a base station, comprising:

registering a mobile station in a cell, wherein the cell is a cell managed by the base station;

receiving vehicle related information from the mobile station included in a vehicle; and

broadcasting the received vehicle related information to target cells.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the vehicle related information includes at least one of vehicle location information of the vehicle, vehicle driving state information of the vehicle and message information generated according to a request of a user of the mobile station.

2. The method of claim 2, wherein the target cell includes at least one of the cell and neighbor cells managed by neighbor base stations located within a predetermined distance from the base station.

4. A method for transmitting broadcasting service information at a base station, comprising:

registering a mobile station in a cell, wherein the cell is a cell managed by the base station;

receiving user related information about a user of the mobile station generated by and transmitted from the mobile station; and

broadcasting the user related information to target cells,

wherein the user related information includes at least one of user location information of the user, user speed information of the user, and message information generated by a request of the user.

5. A method for receiving broadcasting service information at a mobile station, comprising:

receiving vehicle related information about a first vehicle broadcasted from a base station;

determining validity of the vehicle related information based on a predetermined output condition; and

outputting the received vehicle related information according to the determination result.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the vehicle related information includes first vehicle location information of the first vehicle, and includes further first vehicle driving state information of the first vehicle or first vehicle message information generated from a mobile station included in the first vehicle.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein said determining validity of the vehicle related information includes:

generating second vehicle location information of a second vehicle using a location information generating device of a mobile station included in the second vehicle or the second vehicle; and

determining whether or not the first vehicle is located within a predetermined distance from the second vehicle using the first vehicle location information and the second vehicle location information.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein said determining validity of the vehicle related information further includes:

determining whether or not the vehicle related information coincides with a predetermined receiving condition when the first vehicle is located within the predetermined distance.

9. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

receiving second vehicle driving state information of the second vehicle from the second vehicle; and

transmitting at least one of the second vehicle location information generated by a location information generating device of the second vehicle or second mobile station included in the second vehicle, second vehicle message information generated according to a request of a second mobile station included in the second vehicle and the second vehicle driving state information, to the base station.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein in said transmitting to the base station, at least one of the second vehicle location information, the second vehicle driving station information, and the second vehicle message information is transmitted according to a transmission period or a predetermined transmission condition.

11. A method for receiving broadcasting service information, comprising:

generating a first user related information about a first user of a first mobile station;

transmitting the first user related information to a base station; and

receiving second user related information about a second user of a second mobile station, which is broadcasted from the base station,

wherein the first user related information and the second user related information include at least one of user location information, user speed information, and message information of the first user and the second user.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the first user related information and the second user related information are information about vehicles including the first mobile station or the second mobile station.

13. A mobile station comprising:

a broadcasting information receiver configured to receive first vehicle related information about a first vehicle, broadcasted from a base station;

a data processor configured to determine validity of the first vehicle related information according to predetermined output condition; and

an output unit configured to output the first vehicle related information according to the determination result.

14. The mobile station of claim 13, wherein the first vehicle related information includes first vehicle location information of the first vehicle, and includes further first vehicle driving state information of the first vehicle or first vehicle message information generated by a mobile station included in the first vehicle.

15. The mobile station of claim 14, wherein the data processor includes:

a location information receiver configured to receive the second vehicle location information of the second vehicle which is generated from a location information generation device or inputted from the second vehicle; and

a distance detecting unit configured to determine whether the first vehicle is located within a predetermined distance from the second vehicle using the first vehicle location information and the second vehicle location information of the first and second vehicles.

16. The mobile station of claim 15, wherein the data processor further includes a receiving condition determining unit configured to determine whether the first vehicle related information coincides with a predetermined receiving condition.
