Apparatus and method for supporting E-MBS service in multicarrier system
First Claim
1. A method for operating a terminal for receiving E-MBS (enhanced-multicast and broadcast service) service in a multicarrier system, the method comprising:
- establishing, by the terminal, E-MBS service connection with a base station;
transmitting, by the terminal to the base station, an E-MBS report message including report mode information related with a carrier switching operation,wherein the report mode information indicates that the terminal requests the base station to assign the carrier switching operation start time or the terminal ends the carrier switching operation;
receiving, by the terminal from the base station, an E-MBS response message in response to the E-MBS report message; and
starting, by the terminal, a carrier switching operation upon starting to receive the E-MBS service and stopping the carrier switching operation upon terminating the E-MBS-service,wherein the carrier switching operation start time is 4 least significant bits of a superframe number at which the terminal starts the carrier switching operation.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for operating a terminal for receiving E-MBS (enhanced-multicast and broadcast service) service in a multicarrier system, the method comprising: establishing E-MBS service connection with a base station; sending, to the base station, a first message including report mode information when the terminal receives E-MBS service from the base station; wherein the report mode information indicates the terminal requests the base station to assign a carrier switching operation start time, receiving, from the base station, a second message including the carrier switching operation start time information requested by the terminal; and starting a carrier switching operation based on the received carrier switching operation start time information.

7. A terminal for receiving E-MBS service in a multicarrier system, the terminal comprising:
-
a transmitting unit configured to send, to a base station, an E-MBS report message including report mode information related with a carrier switching operation; a receiving unit configured to receive, from the base station, an E-MBS response message in;
response to the E-MBS report message; anda controller configured to provide control to start a carrier switching operation upon starting to receive the E-MBS service and to stop the carrier switching operation upon terminating the E-MBS service, wherein the report mode information, indicates that the terminal requests the base station to assign the carrier switching operation start time or the terminal ends the carrier switching operation, and wherein the carrier switching operation start time is 4 least significant bits of a superframe number at which the terminal starts the carrier switching operation. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
