METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RESELECTING A CELL IN AN IDLE MODE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICE

摘要

The terminal supporting the public safety service based on the evolved multimedia broadcast multicast services (eMBMS) service needs to reselect a frequency providing the eMBMS service in the idle mode. The terminal may be configured to: receive a connection release message including priority information on frequencies for cell reselection; determine whether the terminal is in the idle mode; and perform, if the terminal is in the idle mode, cell reselection by selecting a cell to camp on based on the priority information. Here, the priority information may be configured so that the highest priority is assigned to the MBMS serving frequency used by the terminal to receive the MBMS service. In this way, the terminal supporting the public safety service may continuously receive the public safety service by selecting the current frequency during cell reselection.
