Example 1

The UE obtains the ESG information in the manner of point to point, such as a manner of short message, before entering the MBSFN Area, and the ESG information includes all the MBMS services which may be bore in the network; and 15 MBMS services are taken for example in the present example. The ESG information further includes information about the MBSFN Area corresponding to each MBMS service, such as MBSFN Area ID, wherein the MBSFN Area ID is a multi-bit binary number. As shown in FIG. 7, MBSFN Area ID #a corresponds to MBMS service 1, MBSFN Area ID #b corresponds to MBMS service 2, and MBSFN Area ID #c corresponds to MBMS service 3.

The UE receives the system information block SIB13, the UE will acquire by the SIB13 that the cell is covered by two MBSFN Areas, which are the MBSFN Area corresponding to the MBSFN Area ID #a and the MBSFN Area corresponding to the MBSFN Area ID #b.

The cell service list information about that cell can be obtained by a coverage situation of the MBSFN Areas of that cell obtained according to the ESG information and SIB13, and the cell service list information is illustrated as shown in FIG. 7.

The UE selects an interested MBMS service from the cell service list.

The UE receives the information about the MCCH related to the interested MBMS service according to the interested MBMS service selected by the UE.

The UE judges whether its interested MBMS service has completed the MBMS Session Start procedure according to the obtained information about the MCCH; if that MBMS service has completed the MBMS Session Start procedure, it indicates that that MBMS service has been and is being sent by the network, and the MBMS service is in the ongoing state, then the UE will receive the service data of the MBMS service according to the control parameters of its interested MBMS service obtained from the MCCH; and if the control parameters of the MBMS service in which the UE is interested is not included, then the MBMS service does not trigger the MBMS Session Start procedure, it indicates that the MBMS service is not sent through the network currently, then the UE can acquire whether the corresponding MCCH has changed by monitoring the MCCH notification, and if it has changed, then the corresponding information about the MCCH will be re-updated, until its interested MBMS service has completed the MBMS Session Start procedure.

Example 2

The UE obtains the ESG information in the manner of point to point, such as a manner of WAP, before entering the MBSFN Area, and the ESG information includes all the MBMS services which may be bore in the network; and 15 MBMS services are taken for example in the present embodiment. The ESG information further includes information about the MBSFN Area corresponding to each MBMS service, such as MBSFN Area ID, wherein the MBSFN Area ID is a multi-bit binary number. As shown in FIG. 8, MBSFN Area ID #a corresponds to MBMS service 1, MBSFN Area ID #b corresponds to MBMS service 2, and MBSFN Area ID #c corresponds to MBMS service 3.

The UE receives the system information block SIB13; the UE will acquire by the SIB13 that the cell is covered by two MBSFN Areas, which are the MBSFN Area corresponding to the MBSFN Area ID #a and the MBSFN Area corresponding to the MBSFN Area ID #b.

The cell service list information about that cell can be acquired by a coverage situation of the MBSFN Areas of that cell obtained according to the ESG information and SIB13, and the cell service list information is illustrated as shown in FIG. 8.

It needs to be pointed out here that: the UE receives the information about all the MCCHs of the corresponding cell according to the information about all the MBSFN Areas in that cell obtained from the SIB13, and selects its interested MBMS service from the acquired cell service list. Herein, it is different from example 1.

The UE receives the MCCH information related to the interested MBMS service according to the interested MBMS service selected by the UE.

The UE judges whether its interested MBMS service has completed the MBMS Session Start procedure according to the obtained information about the MCCH; if that MBMS service has completed the MBMS Session Start procedure, it indicates that that MBMS service has been and is being sent by the network, and the MBMS service is in the ongoing state, then the UE will receive the service data of the MBMS service according to the control parameters of its interested MBMS service obtained from the MCCH; and if the control parameters of the MBMS service in which the UE is interested is not included, then the MBMS service does not trigger the MBMS Session Start procedure, it indicates that the MBMS service is not sent through the network currently, then the UE can acquire whether the corresponding MCCH has changed by monitoring the MCCH notification, and if it has changed, then the corresponding information about the MCCH will be re-updated, until its interested MBMS service has completed the MBMS Session Start procedure.

Example 3

The UE obtains the ESG information in the manner of point to point, such as a manner of WAP, before entering the MBSFN Area, and the ESG information includes all the MBMS services which may be bore in the network; and 15 MBMS services are taken for example in the present embodiment. The ESG information further includes information about the MBSFN Area corresponding to each MBMS service, such as MBSFN Area ID, wherein the MBSFN Area ID is a multi-bit binary number.
