Patent ID: 7764976

Claim:
A radio communication system for a multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS), the system comprising: a terminal receiving data from a first Radio Network Controller (RNC) through a first dedicated channel, wherein the terminal cannot simultaneously receive the first dedicated channel and a second dedicated channel due to a lack of capabilities; and a second Radio Network Controller (RNC) for providing information of the MBMS to the first RNC, which supports a service that is not the MBMS, when the terminal receiving the service that is not the MBMS from the first RNC moves to an area in which the second RNC supports the MBMS, wherein the first RNC receives the information of the MBMS and provides the information of the MBMS to the terminal, wherein the information of the MBMS indicates every service that the second RNC can support, a specific service to which the terminal has subscribed, and whether the specific service is available, wherein the second RNC informs both the first RNC and the terminal that a setup of both the first dedicated channel and the second dedicated channel for the specific service is possible, and wherein the terminal can set or release its desirable radio link based on the information of the MBMS received from the first RNC.
