Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting broadcast multicast service control signaling, comprising: a serving base station of a cell located in overlapped coverage of more than one Multimedia Broadcast multicast service Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) areas determining respective multi-cell mode broadcast multicast service control signalings for the MBSFN areas, and the serving base station transmitting the multi-cell mode broadcast multicast service control signalings for each MBSFN area on a multicast control channel of this MBSFN area, wherein the multicast control channel is mapped to a multicast channel carried on broadcast multicast physical resources of this MBSFN area; wherein the multi-cell mode broadcast multicast service control signaling of each MBSFN area at least includes multi-cell mode multicast control channel signaling of the MBSFN area; and wherein the multi-cell mode multicast control channel signaling of each MBSFN area only includes control signaling carried on a multicast control channel in the MBSFN area, but does not include control signaling carried on the multicast control channel in other MBSFN areas.
