  • Publication number: 20110016495
    Abstract: A user terminal and method are provided for receiving broadcast data based on frames. A determination is made whether the broadcast data is transmitted via a primary RS frame for transmitting first broadcast data or a secondary RS frame for transmitting second broadcast data. When the broadcast data is transmitted via the secondary RS frame for the second broadcast data, a channel state of a channel through which a frame containing the second broadcast data is transmitted is checked. When the checked channel state is greater than or equal to a preset first channel state, only the second broadcast data contained in the secondary RS frame is received. Therefore, the user terminal can periodically receive frames containing its necessary broadcast data and can thus reduce power consumption.
