Patent ID: 8787236

Claim:
A method for transmitting Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) paging indication signaling, comprising: assigning, by a network side, bit resource which bears a Multipoint Control Channel (MCCH) modification indication for each MCCH according to available resources of paging indication signaling and a maximum number of MCCHs supported by a cell, and configuring mapping information of each MCCH modification indication in the paging indication signaling by the network side; and the MCCH modification indication corresponding to the configured MCCH being included in the paging indication signaling which is transmitted by the network side; wherein the available resource of the paging indication signaling is a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) which bears the paging indication signaling; in step of transmitting the paging indication signaling by the network side, the network side continuously or separately populates the PDCCH with the MCCH modification indication corresponding to the configured MCCH; and the mapping information of the each MCCH modification indication in the paging indication signaling is an arrangement order and an initial position, on the PDCCH, of the MCCH modification indication corresponding to each configured MCCH.
