Abstract: This invention provides a paging method for Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service in mobile communication system. The paging process and radio resource setup process are merged in this method to try to reduce uplink responses. This invention extends existing PCH IubFP frame structure by adding MBMS Indication bit(MI) to PCH IubFP frame. The PCH IubFP frame includes Paging Indication (PI) and Paging Message. Paging message carries MBMS service information. MBMS Service Identity or MBMS Paging Indicator is added to the reserved 12 bits in Paging Indicator Channel (PICH) frame structure. Radio Network Controller (RNC) transfers Paging Indicator Message and paging message to Base Station (Node B) so as to send over the air-interface.

Abstract: A method for HARQ reordering in Enhanced Uplink Dedicated Channel of WCDMA system includes following steps: locating the soft combination buffer in the Node B and the reordering buffer in the SRNC; locating the HARQ entity in the Node B; locating the reordering queue distribution entity, the reordering entity and the disassembly entity in the SRNC. This invention adopts the separation technology of the soft combination buffer and the reordering buffer, the separation model can not only ensure the diversity gain, but also reduce the receiving delay and save the buffer space. Three mechanisms (timer mechanism, window mechanism and SBI mechanism) are proposed to prevent the blocking of the reordering buffer, which degrades the blocking to the least level, improves the receiving efficiency and the system performance. Aiming at the SBI mechanism, the invention proposes the new DCH data frame structure on the Iub interface and the Iur interface.

Abstract: A method for supporting backward compatibility of Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service (hereinafter referred to as MBMS) in a mobile communication system of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (hereinafter referred to as WCDMA) is proposed in the present invention. The present invention provides the method for the mapping relationship between the MBMS service identifier and the RAB identifier and judging the capability of the RNC by the SGSN, and accordingly, it is made possible that MBMS service is compatible backward and equipments are compatible with different versions.

Abstract: A channel type switching method for MBMS P-t-P channel and P-t-M channel comprises following steps when UE moves to a cell in DRNC and Iur interface exists: DRNC decides to perform switching between common channel and dedicated channel; DRNC notifies SRNC of MBMS channel type and common channel parameters. This invention solves the problem of MBMS channel switching process when UTE moves to a cell in DRNC and UE is receiving MBMS service under the situation that SRNC doesn't re-position while and MBMS channel type or parameter changes; it also solves the problem of MBMS channel type switching process caused by other users' movements or new services' joining in while UE doesn't move, connects with SRNC via DRNC and has on-going MBMS service.

Abstract: A method for creating and assigning TMGI, comprising steps of: sending a message to a SGSN when an UE joining a MBMS service group; if a MBMS TMGI has been added to SGSN records, the SGSN directly replying to the UE with the TMGI corresponding to a service; if there is no record for this service in the SGSN, the SGSN sending a message to the GGSN, and if the TMGI corresponding to this service is created by the GGSN, the GGSN sending it to the SGSN; if there is no record in the GGSN and a TMGI is created by the GGSN, the GGSN creates a TMGI for the MBMS service; e. the SGSN sending the TMGI received from the GGSN to the RNC. f. The UE receiving signal from the RNC by using the TMGI.

Abstract: A paging method for an MBMS service is provided. To efficiently transmit MBMS control information in an MBMS mobile communication system, an RNC transmits to a Node B a control message including a list of NI information for MBMS paging groups by the RNC and the Node B establishes a physical channel according to the control message and transmits an MICH including NIs to UEs on the established physical channel.
