  • Publication number: 20190335348
    Abstract: Disclosed are a wireless-communication electronic device and method. The electronic device of a user equipment terminal comprises a processing circuit, said processing circuit being configured to: measure the downlink channel quality of a serving base station and adjacent base station of a user equipment; on the basis of the measured downlink channel quality, determine a first base station set from the serving base station and adjacent base station, the first base station set representing a base station set that is to broadcast or multicast data and information. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, even if location information is unusable, it is still possible to quickly determine a multicast/broadcast base station, while signaling overhead is also reduced.
