Patent ID: 8311563

Claim:
A method for receiving control information for a Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) service in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a network, MBMS point-to-multipoint control channel (MCCH) configuration information for configuring an MBMS point-to-multipoint control channel (MCCH) channel; and reading the MCCH for receiving the MBMS service according to the MCCH configuration information, wherein the MCCH configuration information comprises: a first parameter related to a modification period; a second parameter related to a repetition period; and a system frame number (SFN)-multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) control channel (MCCH)-Offset comprising an offset between a transmission of a first frame of a modification period and a SFN of a cell in which the MCCH configuration information is transmitted, wherein a system frame number (SFN) is used as a timing reference for a first common control physical channel, wherein the MCCH channel is mapped into a second common control physical channel, and wherein the MCCH configuration information is carried in one or more transmission time intervals (TTIs).
