Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method of notifying a user terminal of MBMS service information of at least one neighboring cell of a cell of a base station where the user terminal camps, and a method of receiving from the base station where the user terminal camps the MBMS service information of at least one neighboring cell of the cell of the base station, and a corresponding user terminal and a base station. In the present invention, in a system information block SIB, the multimedia broadcast multicast service MBMS service information of the at least one neighboring cell is transmitted to the user terminal. According to the present invention, regardless of whether a current cell has MBMS service transmission or not, the MBMS service information (if any) of at least one neighboring cell of the current cell is transmitted to the UE camping on the current cell so that the UE can know in advance which neighboring cell the MBMS service of its interest is located in so as to better achieve continuity of the MBMS service.
