20180213504 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING SYSTEM INFORMATION, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING SYSTEM INFORMATION - The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for transmitting system information, and a method and an apparatus for receiving system information. The method includes: acquiring, by a base station, a preset modification period of enhanced system information, where the enhanced system information is system information on which enhanced transmission needs to be performed; the modification period of the enhanced system information is an integer multiple of a modification period of non-enhanced system information; and the non-enhanced system information is system information that is transmitted, based on scheduling by using a control channel, in a system information window; and transmitting the enhanced system information in an enhanced transmission manner in the modification period of the enhanced system information according to a configured time-sequence location. According to the methods or the apparatuses in the present invention, occupied transmission resources can be reduced. | 2018-07-26 |
20180213505 | METHOD FOR PROCESSING MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST/MULTICAST SERVICE SESSION UPDATE - There is provided a method for processing Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service MBMS session update in M3 and M2 interfaces in a wireless communication system, the wireless communication system comprising a Mobility Management Entity MME, a Multi-cell/Multicast Coordination Entity MCE and an eNB, the method comprising: sending, by the MME, a first MBMS session update request message to the MCE; processing, by the MCE, the first MBMS session update request message, and sending, a second MBMS session update request message to the eNB and sending a first feedback message to the MME; processing, by the eNB, the second MBMS session update request message, and sending a second feedback message to the MCE. The present invention enables a RAN and an EPC to consistently process the MBMS session update procedure. Thus, the present invention may avoid misunderstanding caused by signaling processing from the EPC to EUTRAN in a radio access network. | 2018-07-26 |
