EXTENDING eMBMS SESSION IN LTE eMBMS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods for allowing UE to extend eMBMS session duration during and after intra-frequency cell reselection.;SOLUTION: The apparatus receives an MBMS service from a first cell in a first MBSFN area while in an RRC idle mode. The apparatus reselects to a second cell through an intra-frequency cell reselection upon moving into coverage of the second cell. The second cell is a non-MBSFN cell or an MBSFN cell in a second MBSFN area different than the first MBSFN area. The apparatus continues to receive the MBMS service directly from the first cell while receiving paging signals from the second cell.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11;COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT
