A contents providing apparatus based on a mobile communication network, the contents providing apparatus including: a receiving unit receiving contents and contents providing area information of the contents from a contents provider, the contents providing area information being information about an area where the contents is provided; an area group setting unit retrieving at least one cell based on the contents providing area information, and setting the retrieved at least one cell as a contents providing area group of the contents; and a transmitting unit transmitting the contents to the set contents providing area group.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the method and data sharing system which establishes an access right for data to share in pure or hybrid P2P environment and thus decides to open and share the data in accordance with which whether a recipient peer has the access right or not, thereby protecting the data from the access of the unspecified public and preventing the data from spreading in an improper manner. Also, since the existence of the data is not open to recipients with no having access right, the method and data sharing system according to the present invention has an effect of protecting the copyright and privacy of a data provider.

Abstract: Provided are a method of obtaining service information to receive a broadcasting service in a user equipment (UE), and service information announcement methods performable in a service center in charge of multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) control and a server interoperable with the service center. The method of obtaining MBMS information in a UE includes checking whether or not a previously defined event occurs in order to obtain service information, requesting an external server announcing service information to transmit service information according to whether or not the event occurs, and receiving service information transmitted in response to the service information transmission request and outputting the service information through a user interface (UI).

Abstract: A multimedia data service apparatus of a mobile communication system for supporting multicast and multicast service activation and deactivation methods for a multimedia data service used by the mobile communication system are provided. Information for mobility management is searched for according to a multimedia data service join request from a packet data network gateway of the mobile communication system, and multimedia data is multicasted to a user equipment. Accordingly, a multicast service can be provided in a system of 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 7 or later.

Abstract: Provided is a broadcast multicast service control system capable of distributively processing excessively given load under environments that have to offer MBMS service by linking with several mobile communication networks, and a control method thereof. The service control system provides a multimedia broadcast multicast service including a service announcement function of announcing service information, a security function of executing generation and distribution of keys for user authentication and information protection, and a proxy and transport function of transmitting/receiving control signals and traffics to/from a mobile communication network to provide the multimedia broadcast multicast service, and the service control system includes: a plurality of service control units, a load management unit, a service distribution policy management unit, and a processing load distribution policy management unit.

Abstract: There is provided a method for a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) announcement to provide a service announcement document in a broadcast multicast service center (BM-SC) of a MBMS system, including the steps of: generating a service announcement document; searching a service announcement area; setting a session for providing the service announcement document to the searched service area by setting a MBMS multicast bearer; transmitting a corresponding service announcement document to the service announcement area, wherein the service announcement document includes an announcement area directories according to service announcement areas, and the announcement area directory includes service directories according to services provided to corresponding service announcement areas as a lower directory.

Abstract: Disclosed are an SIP-based user mobility service providing apparatus and method using user position information obtained by a sensing apparatus. When a user enters a specific region, a gateway including a sensing management module carries out SIP registration for several terminals existing in the specific region in place of user agents of the terminals. The sensing management module transmits an SIP registration message to an SIP proxy server and notifies the terminals of the completion of SIP registration. Then, the user receives a call using the same kind of a terminal as a specific terminal previously set on the basis of a user's preferences among the terminals in the specific region.

Abstract: A content packet transmission control system in a mobile communication network supporting a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) includes a broadcast/multicast service center (BM-SC) performing an inter-working operation with a gateway general packet radio service support node (GGSN) and managing the MBMS so that contents may be broadcasted/multicasted to a plurality of user terminals, and a content provider (CP)/multicast broadcast (MB) source server providing contents of an internal CP or contents of an external CP according to a broadcasting schedule of each MBMS. When the user terminal using a predetermined MBMS leaves a service area or requests to stop the service, the content packet transmission control system stops transmitting corresponding service contents, and transmits a service packet to a new user terminal requesting the service and the user terminal coming back to the service area.
