Abstract:
1. A method of processing a MBSFN (Multimedia Broadcast multicast service Single Frequency Network) subframe at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, by the UE from a base station (BS), information on a MBSFN subframe index indicating a subframe corresponding to the MBSFN subframe; receiving, by the UE from the BS, information on a type of the MBSFN subframe which indicates a usage of the MBSFN subframe, when the UE supports at least one type among a plurality of MBSFN subframe types; determining a region of the MBSFN subframe to be decoded based on whether the type of the MBSFN subframe is supported by the UE, using the MBSFN subframe index and the type of the MBSFN subframe; and decoding only a non-MBSFN region within the MBSFN subframe, when the UE does not support the type of the MBSFN subframe, wherein the non-MBSFN region contains unicast control information for the UE, and wherein the information on the MBSFN subframe index is configured as a bitmap and received via a RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling.
