RESOURCE ALLOCATION METHOD FOR MBMS IN AN INTEGRATED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND A RESOURCE ALLOCATION CONTROLLER THEREFOR

摘要

Disclosed is a resource allocation method for an MBMS in an integrated communication system including a satellite communication system, in which a multicast service being provided by the terrestrial communication system is switched to the satellite communication system and the terrestrial communication system stops providing the same multicast service when the number of cells of the terrestrial communication system providing the same multicast service is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value and there is a channel available for an additional multicast service in the satellite communication system.
