Abstract:
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising: receiving a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service from a first cell in a first multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) area while in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode; reselecting to a second cell through an intra-frequency cell reselection upon moving into coverage of the second cell; determining whether the second cell is a non-MBSFN cell or an MBSFN cell in a second MBSFN area different than the first MBSFN area by determining whether a system information block 13 (SIB13) is acquired from the second cell, wherein when it is determined that the SIB13 is acquired from the second cell then it is determined that the second cell is the MBSFN cell in the second MBSFN area different than the first MBSFN area, and wherein when it is determined that the SIB13 is not acquired from the second cell then it is determined that the second cell is the non-MBSFN cell; and continuing to receive the MBMS service directly from the first cell while receiving paging signals from the second cell.
