Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for providing a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) to a user equipment (UE) by a base station in a mobile communication system. The method includes transmitting, to the UE, a first message including information about a scheduling period and an offset indicating a start point of the scheduling period; transmitting, to the UE, a second message including information about at least one MBMS in the scheduling period, based on the information about the scheduling period and the offset; and transmitting, to the UE, data of the at least one MBMS via an MBMS radio bearer (RB) established for the at least one MBMS. The information about the at least one MBMS includes identification of the at least one MBMS.

Abstract: A control message transmitting/receiving method in an MBMS-supporting mobile communication system. In the present invention, an RNC periodically transmits control messages related to MBMS RB setup to UEs. Thus, although a UE initially fails to receive an intended MBMS service, it can set up an MBMS RB by receiving a related retransmitted control message. Also, the RNC periodically provides information about ongoing MBMS services on a cell basis so that a UE can decide whether its requested MBMS service is in progress and request information required to set up an MBMS RB for the MBMS service to the RNC by individual signaling.

Abstract: A method for providing a multicast service from a macrocell or a microcell to a mobile station in a mobile communication system having a hierarchical cell structure in which a given area is divided into at least one macrocell and at least one microcell overlapping with each other. The mobile station receives a multicast service by accessing the macrocell or the microcell according to a carrier-to-interference ratio (C/I) for the multicast service measured in a macrocell area and according to an existence or non-existence of a concurrent call currently in service. When there is no concurrent call currently in service, the mobile station receives the multicast service by accessing the macrocell in an area where the measured C/I is equal to or greater than a required C/I. However, when there is a concurrent call currently in service, the mobile station receives the multicast service by accessing the macrocell or the microcell based on the current cell and the C/I.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for forming an isolation film in a semiconductor device. After a trench for isolation is formed, a polymer film is stripped by a post cleaning process using BFN. A pre-treatment cleaning process using only SC-1 is performed and a sidewall oxidization process is then carried out. It is therefore possible to improve fail of the roughness of the trench sidewall and to easily strip polymer. Furthermore, since a conventional PET process is omitted, an isolation film manufacturing process is simplified. It is also possible to prohibit out-diffusion of dopants injected into a semiconductor substrate through a pre-treatment cleaning process using CLN N before the sidewall oxidization process. Incidentally, by forming a slope at the top corner of the trench, it is possible to prevent a gate oxide film thinning phenomenon that the gate oxide film thinner than a desired thickness is deposited at the trench corner.

Abstract: A method of managing resources allocated for HSDPA in a mobile communication system is provided. Upon initialization of HSDPA hardware, a Node B checks the status of available HSDPA resources and reports it to an RNC. If the Node B senses a change or failure in the HSDPA hardware, it checks the HSDPA resource status and reports it to the RNC. Therefore, resources are efficiently allocated for HSDPA and resource switching occurs quickly.
