- a network entity 106 , 114 when a network entity 106 , 114 changes certain MCCH information, the corresponding network entity 106 , 114 notifies the UE 102 about which of the MCCHs will change by transmitting DCI using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with a MBMS radio network temporary identifier (M-RNTI) on the common search space (CSS) of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).
- CRC cyclic redundancy check
- M-RNTI MBMS radio network temporary identifier

- PDCCH physical downlink control channel
- NCT may remove CRS on downlink subframes, and UE 102 uses CRS to decode control channels, a UE 102 cannot demodulate legacy control channels such as PDCCH, transmitted on NCT carriers. Further, current implementations of NCT do not support CSS on PDCCH. In some embodiments, NCT may suppress CRS on four out of five subframes, although the scope of the embodiments is not limited in this respect.
- Example embodiments provide methods to address these and other challenges to deliver MBMS related system information and control information on NCT, thereby enabling MBMS on NCT in 3GPP Rel. 12 and later.

- RadioResourceConfigCommonSCell-r10 SEQUENCE ⁇ ... [[mbsfn-AreaInfoList-r9 MBSFN-AreaInfoList-r9 OPTIONAL, --Need OR notificationConfig-r9 MBMS-NotificationConfig-r9 OPTIONAL, -- Need OR ]] ... ⁇ ...
- MBMS-NotificationConfig-r9 SEQUENCE ⁇ notificationRepetitionCoeff-r9 ENUMERATED ⁇ n2, n4 ⁇ , notificationOffset-r9 INTEGER (0...10), notificationSF-Index-r9 INTEGER (1...6), [[ NotificationCellId-r12 ServCellIndex-r10, OPTIONAL, --Need ON ]] ⁇ --ASN1 STOP
- mbsfn-AreaInfoList and notificationConfig are MCCH-related parameters for the pertinent NCT SCell defined in the information element (IE) RadioResourceConfigCommonSCell. These parameters are cell-specific and applicable to an NCT SCell.
- NotificationCellId indicates which cell, for example network entity 106 associated with a PCell, shall signal the MCCH information change notification for the pertinent NCT SCell.
- the notification cell can be specified, for example the notification cell can be defined as a UE-specific PCell, rather than being configurable.
- NotificationCellId-r12 will not be included in the MBMS-NotificationConfig-r9 IE described above.
- a range of values for notificationOffset may be set or extended so that multiple notifications for multiple information change notifications can be transmitted on a common carrier (CC) in a Time Domain Multiplexing (TDM) or Time Domain Duplexing (TDD) manner based on different notificationOffset values, as discussed in more detail below.
- the UE 102 can receive NCT MCCH information change notifications using one or more methods described below with respect to various embodiments.

- the MCCH(s) repetition period and modification period on NCT are independently configurable by parameters included in MBMS-NotificationConfig-r9 as described above.

- the notifications 220 , 222 can be transmitted periodically in repetition periods 215 with modifications occurring no more than once in any modification period 224 .
- SCell 210 transmits notifications 226 of MCCH information changes on SCell 210 , also in a TDM manner with the notifications transmitted on PCell 205 . Therefore, some embodiments allow the UE 102 to receive notifications about changes of MCCH on an NCT SCell, even if CSS is unavailable on the NCT SCell.
- the UE 102 uses only one M-RNTI value for multiple target SCells, and the UE 102 determines which cell pertains to the detected PDCCH based on configured periodicity and offset parameters described above.
- a network entity for example network entity 106 associated with a PCell 104 , can transmit a MAC Control Element (CE) dedicated for MCCH information change notification.
- the notification-specific MAC CE is scheduled using the cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) of the UE 102 .
- the C-RNTI can be identified by a MAC protocol data unit (PDU) subheader with a logical channel identifier (LCID) specified.
- the network entity 106 can provide RRC signaling at least somewhat similar to that described above, except that MBMS-NotificationConfig-r9 may not be included.
- the MCCH information change notification MAC CE may include a field to indicate an index of an SCell to which the MCCH information change notification applies.
- the MCCH information change notification MAC CE may also include a field to indicate which of the MCCHs will change.
- notifications 320 , 322 for several MBMS cells can be transmitted in the same subframe in one LCT serving cell 205 , as shown in FIG. 3 .
- the notifications 320 , 322 can be transmitted periodically in repetition periods 315 with modifications occurring no more than once in any modification period 324 .
- Different M-RNTIs can differentiate the MBMS cells to which a notification is applicable.
- a field for example mbsfnAreaInfoList, can be added into the RadioResourceConfigCommonSCell IE described above, as a non-critical extension.
- a network entity 106 can transmit this IE to a UE 102 when an NCT SCell is added.
- the IE can include at least two other fields, for example NotificationCellId and m-RNTI, to indicate which cell signals the MCCH information change notification, if applicable, and the exclusive m-RNTI used by DCI format 1C for notification.
- the network entity 106 may not transmit the MBMS-NotificationConfig IE, described above, because the UE 102 can obtain the pertinent information from the serving cell indicated by NotificationCellId.
- An example RRC message expressed in ASN.1 for providing this information is as follows:
- M-RNTI can be indicated as below:
- M-RNTI is defined by reserving to reserve a set of RNTIs, and the IE signals an index into the set:
- control channel elements can be reserved on the PDCCH of an LCT PCell or SCell for NCT SCell MCCH information change notifications, thereby construction an MBMS-specific search space (MSS).
- a network entity 106 or 114 can transmit DCI format IC including a Carrier Indicator Field (CIF) on the MSS for blind detection by the UE 102 on predefined subframe(s).
- CCEs Carrier Indicator Field
- Some embodiments can also be used for single-frequency network (SFN) services.
- SFN single-frequency network
- a value for example non-MBSFNregionLength defined in 3GPP TS 36.211 Table 6.7-1, indicates how many symbols from the beginning of a subframe constitute the non-MBSFN region. This value can be defined as “0” for systems in which all cells operate on carriers of NCT, because NCT does not need a non-MBSFN region as this region is only used for legacy PDCCH transmission.
- a non-MBSFN region length can be defined according to below:
- MBSFN-AreaInfoList-r9 SEQUENCE (SIZE(1...maxMBSFN-Area)) OF MBSFN-AreaInfo-r9
- MBSFN-AreaInfo-r12 SEQUENCE ⁇ ... Non-MBSFNregionLength-r12 ENUMERATED ⁇ s0, s1, s2 ⁇ , ... ⁇
- the starting symbol of an MBSFN subframe can follow, for example the EPDCCH starting symbol, defined by, e.g., epdcch-StartSymbol-r11.
- epdcch-StartSymbol-r12 is defined to include a possible value of “0.”
- the starting symbol of an MBSFN subframe can follow, for example, a PDSCH starting symbol for cross-carrier scheduling, defined by, e.g., pdsch-Start-r10.
- pdsch-Start-r12 is defined to include a possible value of “0.”
- the specified value for a starting symbol can be interpreted in at least two ways.

Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for providing multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) on carriers of a new carrier type (NCT) are described herein. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a message to indicate an interest in receiving MBMS transmissions on a target cell that operates on a first carrier of a first carrier type on which cell-specific reference signals (CRSs) are suppressed at one or more downlink subframes of a downlink frame. The UE may receive, in response to transmitting the message, identification information of a notification cell on which to receive MBMS control information change notification for the target cell. The UE may receive MBMS traffic from the target cell using the MBMS control information received from the notification cell. The UE may receive the MBMS control information on a second carrier of a second carrier type different from the first carrier type.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating asystem 100 in which some embodiments may be implemented. Thesystem 100 includes a user equipment (UE) 102, which can communicate wirelessly with a PCell 104 over awireless communication link 108.Communication link 108 includes one or more communication channels. These channels can include a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) with downlink control information (DCI) transmitted on the downlink (or DCI not transmitted on the downlink), and any other channel for transmitting control (e.g. scheduling or power) information or data on the uplink or downlink. Becausesystem 100 may support carrier aggregation (e.g. may be an LTE-A system) these channels may include one or more aggregated component carriers. - PCell 104 may be a cell associated with a macro network, such as, but not limited to, a radio access network or cellular network. For example, in some examples, PCell 104 can include a PCell in LTE-Advanced communication environments. In various embodiments, PCell 104 may be associated with a
PCell network entity 106.PCell network entity 106 can include one or more of any type of network module, such as an access point, a macro cell, including a base station (BS), node B, eNodeB, a relay, a peer-to-peer device, an authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) server, a mobile switching center (MSC), a radio network controller (RNC). Additionally, the network entity associated with PCell 104 may communicate with one or more other network entities of wireless and/or core networks, such as, but not limited to, wide-area networks (WAN), wireless networks (e.g. 802.11 or cellular network), the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) network, ad hoc networks, personal area networks (e.g. Bluetooth®) or other combinations or permutations of network protocols and network types. Such network(s) may include a single local area network (LAN) or wide-area network (WAN), or combinations of LANs or WANs, such as the Internet. - In a various embodiments, UE 102 may communicate with one or more SCells 110 via one or
more communication links 112. In some examples, the one ormore SCells 110 may include SCells in LTE-Advanced communication environments. UE 102 may be configured to communicate simultaneously with PCell 104 and the one or more SCells 110, for example, via a plurality of antennas of UE 102.Communication link 112 may include one or more communication channels, which may include a PUCCH, a PUSCH with DCI transmitted on the downlink (or DCI not transmitted on the downlink), and any other channel for transmitting control (e.g. scheduling or power) information or data on the uplink or downlink. -
SCells 110 may be small cells or low power cells, controlled by or otherwise associated with one ormore network entities 114 or modules, such as, but not limited to a low-power access point, such as a picocell, femtocell, microcell, WiFi hotspot, etc. Additionally, SCells 110 may communicate with one or more other network entities of wireless and/or core networks, such as, but not limited to, wide-area networks (WAN), wireless networks (e.g. 802.11 or cellular network), the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) network, ad hoc networks, personal area networks (e.g. Bluetooth®) or other combinations or permutations of network protocols and network types. Such network(s) may include a single local area network (LAN) or wide-area network (WAN), or combinations of LANs or WANs, such as the Internet. - Additionally,
system 100, which may include PCell 104 and one ormore SCells 110, may comprise a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) system, and PCell 104 and one or more SCells 110 may communicate with one ormore UEs 102 according to this standard. The actual telecommunication standard, network architecture, and/or communication standard employed will depend on the specific application and the overall design constraints imposed on the system. The various devices coupled to the network(s) (e.g. UE 102 and/or network entities serving PCell 104 and/or SCells 110) may be coupled to the network(s) via one or more wired or wireless connections. - The
system 100 can use MBMS or evolved MBMS (eMBMS) to provide broadcast and multicast services over LTE. Using eMBMS, thesystem 100 can provide services such as live streaming in a stadium, pushed content via user equipment caching or machine-to-machine services, etc. New carrier types (NCTs), introduced with 3GPP Rel. 12, can provide more efficient usage of radio resources and backhaul resources. Operators may therefore wish to provide eMBMS on the NCT. -
Network entities Network entities network entities - In some current systems, when a
network entity corresponding network entity - Example embodiments provide methods to address these and other challenges to deliver MBMS related system information and control information on NCT, thereby enabling MBMS on NCT in 3GPP Rel. 12 and later. In various embodiments, a network entity, for
example network entity 106, provides MCCH configuration information acquisition and MCCH information change notification over carriers of other carrier types (e.g., legacy carrier types (LCTs)) other than NCT. - In some embodiments, an LCT network entity, for example a
network entity 106 associated with aPCell 104, can transmit MCCH configuration information pertaining to an NCTSCell 110 associated with thenetwork entity 114. Thenetwork entity 106 can transmit the MCCH configuration information to a UE 102 when the NCT SCell 110 is added if the UE 102 first informs thenetwork entity 106 that the UE 102 wishes to receive MBMS traffic from the NCT SCell 110. Then other network entities associated with other LCT serving cells, forexample network entity 106 associated with thePCell 104, can transmit notifications of MCCH information changes pertaining to the NCTSCell 110. While the description of example embodiments provided below refers to serving PCells transmitting MCCH information changes pertaining to an NCT SCell, embodiments are not limited thereto and serving LCT SCells can transmit MCCH information changes pertaining to an NCTSCell 110. - In various embodiments, a
network entity 106 can perform radio resource control (RRC) signaling to provide MCCH configuration information, pertaining to an NCT SCell 110, to the UE 102. An example RRC message expressed in Abstract Syntax Notation .1 (ASN.1) for providing MCCH configuration information is as follows: -
--ASN1 START RadioResourceConfigCommonSCell-r10 ::= SEQUENCE { ... [[mbsfn-AreaInfoList-r9 MBSFN-AreaInfoList-r9 OPTIONAL, --Need OR notificationConfig-r9 MBMS-NotificationConfig-r9 OPTIONAL, -- Need OR ]] ... } ... MBMS-NotificationConfig-r9 ::= SEQUENCE { notificationRepetitionCoeff-r9 ENUMERATED {n2, n4}, notificationOffset-r9 INTEGER (0...10), notificationSF-Index-r9 INTEGER (1...6), [[ NotificationCellId-r12 ServCellIndex-r10, OPTIONAL, --Need ON ]] } --ASN1 STOP - In the above code fragment, mbsfn-AreaInfoList and notificationConfig are MCCH-related parameters for the pertinent NCT SCell defined in the information element (IE) RadioResourceConfigCommonSCell. These parameters are cell-specific and applicable to an NCT SCell. NotificationCellId indicates which cell, for
example network entity 106 associated with a PCell, shall signal the MCCH information change notification for the pertinent NCT SCell. - In various other embodiments, the notification cell can be specified, for example the notification cell can be defined as a UE-specific PCell, rather than being configurable. In at least these embodiments, NotificationCellId-r12 will not be included in the MBMS-NotificationConfig-r9 IE described above. A range of values for notificationOffset may be set or extended so that multiple notifications for multiple information change notifications can be transmitted on a common carrier (CC) in a Time Domain Multiplexing (TDM) or Time Domain Duplexing (TDD) manner based on different notificationOffset values, as discussed in more detail below.
- The
UE 102 can receive NCT MCCH information change notifications using one or more methods described below with respect to various embodiments. - In some embodiments, the
UE 102 monitors the PDCCH of a PCell or SCell, for example the PCell associated with thenetwork entity 106, for DCI format 1C identified by a M-RNTI in each CC-specific modification period for notification of MCCH changes on the intended NCT SCell. The MCCH(s) repetition period and modification period on NCT are independently configurable by parameters included in MBMS-NotificationConfig-r9 as described above. -
FIG. 2 illustrates change notification in accordance with these and other embodiments. InFIG. 2 , MBMS is deployed on anLCT PCell 205, anLCT SCell 210, and an NCT SCell (not shown inFIG. 2 ). MCCH is configured on each cell with arepetition period 215. A UE 102 (FIG. 1 ), which is CA and MBMS capable, receives MBMS services onLCT PCell 205,LCT SCell 210, and the NCT SCell. In the illustrative example ofFIG. 2 ,PCell 205 has been configured as the notification cell for MCCH information changes on the NCT SCell. Accordingly,PCell 205 transmits notifications for MCCH information changes 220, 222 on the PCell and the NCT SCell respectively, on the CSS on a PDCCH in a TDM manner. Thenotifications repetition periods 215 with modifications occurring no more than once in anymodification period 224.SCell 210 transmitsnotifications 226 of MCCH information changes onSCell 210, also in a TDM manner with the notifications transmitted onPCell 205. Therefore, some embodiments allow theUE 102 to receive notifications about changes of MCCH on an NCT SCell, even if CSS is unavailable on the NCT SCell. TheUE 102 uses only one M-RNTI value for multiple target SCells, and theUE 102 determines which cell pertains to the detected PDCCH based on configured periodicity and offset parameters described above. - In other embodiments, a network entity, for
example network entity 106 associated with aPCell 104, can transmit a MAC Control Element (CE) dedicated for MCCH information change notification. The notification-specific MAC CE is scheduled using the cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) of theUE 102. The C-RNTI can be identified by a MAC protocol data unit (PDU) subheader with a logical channel identifier (LCID) specified. In at least these embodiments, thenetwork entity 106 can provide RRC signaling at least somewhat similar to that described above, except that MBMS-NotificationConfig-r9 may not be included. The MCCH information change notification MAC CE may include a field to indicate an index of an SCell to which the MCCH information change notification applies. The MCCH information change notification MAC CE may also include a field to indicate which of the MCCHs will change. - In other embodiments,
notifications LCT serving cell 205, as shown inFIG. 3 . Thenotifications repetition periods 315 with modifications occurring no more than once in anymodification period 324. Different M-RNTIs can differentiate the MBMS cells to which a notification is applicable. In at least these embodiments, a field, for example mbsfnAreaInfoList, can be added into the RadioResourceConfigCommonSCell IE described above, as a non-critical extension. Anetwork entity 106 can transmit this IE to aUE 102 when an NCT SCell is added. The IE can include at least two other fields, for example NotificationCellId and m-RNTI, to indicate which cell signals the MCCH information change notification, if applicable, and the exclusive m-RNTI used by DCI format 1C for notification. In at least these embodiments, thenetwork entity 106 may not transmit the MBMS-NotificationConfig IE, described above, because theUE 102 can obtain the pertinent information from the serving cell indicated by NotificationCellId. An example RRC message expressed in ASN.1 for providing this information is as follows: -
--ASN1 START RadioResourceConfigCommonSCell-r10 ::= SEQUENCE { ... [[mbsfn-AreaInfoList-r9 MBSFN-AreaInfoList-r9 OPTIONAL, -- Need OR NotificationCellId-r12 ServCellIndex-r10, OPTIONAL, --Need OR m-RNTI M-RNTI OPTIONAL, -- Need OR ]] ... } ... --ASN1 STOP - The above method implies that the range of M-RNTI values needs to be further extended so that multiple MBMS-specific M-RNTI values are available for configuration. M-RNTI can be indicated as below:
-
--ASN1 START M-RNTI ::= BIT STRING (SIZE(16)) --ASN1 STOP - In other embodiments, M-RNTI is defined by reserving to reserve a set of RNTIs, and the IE signals an index into the set:
-
--ASN1 START M-RNTI ::= INTEGER (0...3) --ASN1 STOP - In some embodiments, control channel elements (CCEs) can be reserved on the PDCCH of an LCT PCell or SCell for NCT SCell MCCH information change notifications, thereby construction an MBMS-specific search space (MSS). A
network entity UE 102 on predefined subframe(s). - Some embodiments can also be used for single-frequency network (SFN) services. In some current systems a value, for example non-MBSFNregionLength defined in 3GPP TS 36.211 Table 6.7-1, indicates how many symbols from the beginning of a subframe constitute the non-MBSFN region. This value can be defined as “0” for systems in which all cells operate on carriers of NCT, because NCT does not need a non-MBSFN region as this region is only used for legacy PDCCH transmission. A non-MBSFN region length can be defined according to below:
-
MBSFN-AreaInfoList-r9 ::= SEQUENCE (SIZE(1...maxMBSFN-Area)) OF MBSFN-AreaInfo-r9 MBSFN-AreaInfo-r12 ::= SEQUENCE { ... Non-MBSFNregionLength-r12 ENUMERATED {s0, s1, s2}, ... } - In some embodiments, the starting symbol of an MBSFN subframe can follow, for example the EPDCCH starting symbol, defined by, e.g., epdcch-StartSymbol-r11. In some embodiments, epdcch-StartSymbol-r12 is defined to include a possible value of “0.” In other embodiments, the starting symbol of an MBSFN subframe can follow, for example, a PDSCH starting symbol for cross-carrier scheduling, defined by, e.g., pdsch-Start-r10. In some embodiments, pdsch-Start-r12 is defined to include a possible value of “0.” The specified value for a starting symbol can be interpreted in at least two ways. For example, the value of the starting symbol minus 1 can correspond to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols for a non-MBSFN region. As another example, the value of the starting symbol can correspond to the starting symbol for MBSFN region.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the basic components of aUE 400 in accordance with some embodiments. TheUE 400 may be suitable as a UE 102 (FIG. 1 ). TheUE 400 may support methods for receiving MBMS from NCT SCells, in accordance with embodiments described above with respect toFIG. 1-3 . - The
UE 400 includes one ormore antennas 410 arranged to communicate with a base station (BS), anetwork entity 106 or 114 (FIG. 1 ), or other types of wireless local area network (WLAN) access points. TheUE 400 further includes aprocessor 420,instructions 425, and amemory 430. TheUE 400 may further include acommunications interface 440. In one embodiment, thememory 430 includes, but is not limited to, random access memory (RAM), dynamic RAM (DRAM), static RAM (SRAM), synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), double data rate (DDR) SDRAM (DDR-SDRAM), or any device capable of supporting high-speed buffering of data. - Example embodiments allow a
UE 400 to transmit, using thecommunications interface 440, a message to indicate an interest in receiving MBMS transmissions on a target cell that operates on a first carrier of a first carrier type on which cell-specific reference signals (CRSs) are suppressed at one or more downlink subframes of a downlink radio frame. The target cell can include, for example, SCell 110 (FIG. 1 ). In at least one embodiment, thecommunications interface 440 is, for example, a wireless physical layer which operates according to a multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) operation. - The
communications interface 440 may receive, in response to transmitting the message, identification information of a notification cell on which to receive MBMS control information change notification for the target cell. As described above with respect toFIG. 2-3 , thecommunication interface 440 can receive an identity of the notification cell in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message transmitted in accordance with a standard of the 3GPP family of standards. The notification cell can include, for example, PCell 104 (FIG. 1 ). - The
communications interface 440 can receive MBMS traffic from the target cell using the MBMS control information received from the notification cell. Thecommunications interface 440 can receive the MBMS traffic on the first carrier and the MBMS control information on a second carrier of a second carrier type different from the first carrier type. The first carrier type can be a new carrier type (NCT) implemented in accordance with a standard of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of standards and the second carrier type can be a legacy carrier type on which CRSs are not suppressed. - The
communications interface 440 can receive a change notification to notify of a change of the MBMS control information associated with MBMS traffic transmitted on NCT. The change notification can be received according to any of the embodiments described above with respect toFIG. 1-3 . For example, thecommunications interface 440 can receive the change notification by decoding a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the notification cell, using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with an MBMS radio network temporary identifier (M-RNTI) of the target cell. The PDCCH can be configurable by a parameter indicating a radio frame offset for a change notification transmitted on the PDCCH. As a further example, thecommunications interface 440 can receive the change notification in a media access control (MAC) control element (CE). Thecommunications interface 440 can receive a plurality of change notifications for a plurality of MBMS serving cells, at least two of the plurality of change notifications being received in a same subframe of a change notification period and each of the at least two change notifications being scrambled based on a M-RNTI of the respective MBMS serving cell. As described above, thecommunications interface 440 can receive the plurality of notifications in different subframes in a TDD or TDM manner. - The
UE 400 can store, for example inmemory 430, resource assignment information representative of multicast search space (MSS) information on a PDCCH of the second carrier type. Thecommunications interface 440 can then receive change notifications using the MSS. - The
processor 420 may include logic or code to enable theUE 400 to process signals received from the network through theantenna 410. Theprocessor 420 may include code orother instructions 425 to allow theUE 400 to transmit a message to indicate an interest in receiving multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) transmissions on a target cell that operates on a first carrier of a first carrier type on which cell-specific reference signals (CRSs) are suppressed at one or more downlink subframes of a downlink radio frame, as described above with respect toFIG. 1-3 . Theinstructions 425 may further allow theUE 400 to receive, in response to transmitting the message, identification information of a notification cell on which to receive MBMS control information change notification for the target cell. Theinstructions 425 may further allow theUE 400 to receive MBMS traffic from the target cell using the MBMS control information received from the notification cell, the MBMS traffic being received on the first carrier and the MBMS control information being received on a second carrier of a second carrier type different from the first carrier type. - The
UE 400 may be a mobile device, such as, but not limited to, a smartphone, cellular telephone, mobile phone, laptop computer, tablet computer, or other portable networked device. TheUE 400 may be referred to by those of ordinary skill in the art as a mobile station, a subscriber station, a mobile unit, a subscriber unit, a wireless unit, a remote unit, a mobile device, a wireless device, a wireless communications device, a remote device, a mobile subscriber station, an access terminal, a mobile terminal, a wireless terminal, a remote terminal, a handset, a terminal, a user agent, a mobile client, a client, or some other suitable terminology. In general, theUE 400 may be small and light enough to be considered portable. -

FIG. 6 is a flow chart of amethod 600, performed by a UE, for communicating in a wireless network. The method can be performed by, for example, UE 102 (FIG. 1 ). - In
operation 610, theUE 102 transmits a message to indicate an interest in receiving multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) transmissions on a target cell, the target cell transmitting on a first carrier of a new carrier type (NCT) on which cell-specific reference signals (CRSs) are suppressed at one or more downlink subframes of a downlink radio frame. - In
operation 620, theUE 102 receives, responsive to the message and in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message transmitted in accordance with a standard of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of standards, an identity of a notification cell, different from the target cell, on which to receive MBMS control information and MBMS control information change notifications of the target cell. - In

The MBMS traffic can be received on the first carrier and the MBMS control information being received on a second carrier of a legacy carrier type different from the NCT on which CRSs are not suppressed. - As described above with respect to
FIG. 2-3 andFIG. 4 , theUE 102 can receive, in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the notification cell or in a media access control (MAC) control element, a change notification to notify of a change of the MBMS control information corresponding to the target cell. TheUE 102 can receive a plurality of change notifications for a plurality of MBMS serving cells. By way of nonlimiting example, at least two of the plurality of change notifications can be received in a same subframe of a change notification period. In at least this illustrative example, each of the at least two change notifications are scrambled based on a MBMS radio network temporary identifier (M-RNTI) of the respective MBMS serving cell. - The
UE 102 can also receive MBMS traffic in a multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) from a plurality of cells that use NCT.
