- the radio frequency band (f1) signal received from the receiving antenna is converted into a baseband signal.
- the converted baseband signal is first input to the searcher unit 82 for initial cell search processing. Since the necessary signals to the searcher unit 82 are PSCH and SSCH, when inputting to the searcher unit 82, only the center frequency band fc may be filtered and input as shown in FIG. From the signal input to the searcher unit 82, correlation processing (step 908) is performed using three types of PSCH candidate codes.
- step 910 If any one of the three types of codes has a correlation value greater than a predetermined threshold ⁇ (step 910), it is determined that the PSCH code has been correlated. That is, the PSCH of the MBMS signal provided at the frequency f1 can be detected.
- the frequency f [2] is set, and correlation processing is similarly performed using three types of PSCH codes. These processes are repeated until the frequency at which the service is provided can be detected.
- the cell ID group and the OFDM symbol timing can be detected (step 914).
- SSCH detection processing is performed.
- the SSCH detection process since the OFDM symbol timing is known by detecting the PSCH, the SSCH detection process is performed with the signal after being converted into the frequency domain by the FFT processing unit 83 in the searcher unit 82 at that timing.
- the SSCH can be detected by performing correlation processing with the detected cell ID group code on the signal converted into the frequency domain.
- the SSCH can be directly demodulated by calculating the amount of phase rotation by the propagation path of the PSCH included in the OFDM symbol immediately before the OFDM symbol including the SSCH.
- the detection method in the frequency domain has been described for the SSCH detection described above, the detection may be performed by performing correlation in the time domain without performing the FFT process (in this case, the searcher unit 82 may receive the FFT). It is not necessary to provide a processing unit).

- band information service information broadcast at that point is obtained, and the broadcast service information is displayed on the display of the wireless terminal in order to inform the user of the information (step 922).
- the user selects a service that he / she wants to view from the broadcast service (step 924) (a mechanism that allows the user to select the service along with the broadcast service information display).
- the process proceeds to the MBMS data demodulation process. If not the same frequency, the frequency to be down-converted by the radio unit 81 is set to a desired frequency (step 928). Thereafter, as described above, the searcher unit 82 performs cell search processing, that is, PSCH and SSCH correlation processing, and performs cell ID and frame period detection (step 930). Thereafter, channel estimation and BCH demodulation using cell-specific RSs are performed to complete the BCH demodulation for the broadcast service selected by the user (steps 932 and 934).
- cell search processing that is, PSCH and SSCH correlation processing
- cell ID and frame period detection step 930
- channel estimation and BCH demodulation using cell-specific RSs are performed to complete the BCH demodulation for the broadcast service selected by the user (steps 932 and 934).
- the cell IDs and frame periods for these services may be the same. It is also conceivable that there is no need to detect the cell ID or frame period, and it is not necessary to perform BCH demodulation. In such a case, the cell search process and the BCH demodulation process may be omitted and the process may proceed to the next MBMS data demodulation process.
- step 936 estimation of the combined propagation path from the desired cell and neighboring cells using the cell common RS, that is, channel estimation is performed. Based on the obtained channel estimation value, the MBMS data is demodulated and reception of the broadcast service selected by the user is started (step 938).

- the user may select the broadcast he / she wants to watch by first viewing the service received first without switching the broadcast service information and switching the service as needed.
- the method of starting reception at the above-mentioned synchronized frequency and the method of watching the service received first if the service is a paid service, it is the first or somewhere. Confirm the viewing of the user.
- service band information can be obtained without searching for other services by searching for and receiving one of the broadcasts being serviced at that point. As a result, the search time is greatly reduced.
- FIG. 10a shows a flow when a wireless terminal (user) moves between MBMS areas after starting desired MBMS reception.
- the reception level L0 of the cell-specific RS of the own cell where the wireless terminal is currently located is measured (step 1004).
- cell-specific RS reception levels (L1, L2,%) Of neighboring cells are measured (step 1006).
- the reception level L0 of the cell-specific RS of the own cell is larger than the maximum value (max) among the reception levels (L1, L2,...) Of all the cell-specific RSs of the neighboring cells (step 1008)
- the process proceeds to the next cell common RS reception level measurement (step 1010).
- Step 1008 Handover of BCH reception is performed to a cell having the reception level of the cell-specific RS of the neighboring cell having the maximum value (max) (step 1012).
- Band information is received by performing channel estimation using the cell-specific RS of the handover destination and performing BCH demodulation (step 1014). If there is a change in the received band information, that is, if there is a change in the service band or the service content in those bands (step 1016), the broadcast service information is updated (step 1018).
- broadcast service information is always displayed on the display of the wireless terminal, the display is also updated. Thereafter, the process proceeds to cell common RS reception level measurement. If there is no change in the received band information, the process proceeds to cell common RS reception level measurement as it is (step 1010).
- the cell common RS reception level La is measured.
- a certain threshold value ⁇ (step 1020)
- MBMS reception is continued as it is (step 1022).
- the threshold value ⁇ is determined to be the cell common RS level + ⁇ (for error) when the currently received MBMS broadcast is at least receivable.
- the measured value La is smaller than the threshold ⁇ (step 1020)
- reception of the service is started (Step 1002). Broadcast service switching is determined only by the level of the cell-common RS. However, if the determination is made in consideration of the moving speed of the terminal, switching with higher accuracy becomes possible.
- FIG. 10b shows a flow different from that shown in FIG. 10a when the wireless terminal (user) moves between MBMS areas after starting desired MBMS reception.
- the difference is that the base station in this flow broadcasts not only band information as broadcast information, but also service edge information (area edge information) indicating whether the own station is a cell at the edge of the MBMS area. By receiving this service edge information, the wireless terminal can determine whether or not the cell in which it is located is the cell at the end of the MBMS area.
- service edge information area edge information
- step 1012 service edge information is received (step 1013).
- the information acquired here is used to determine the switching of the broadcast service described below.
- the broadcast service switching is determined based only on the reception level of the cell common RS, but in FIG. 10b, the determination is made based on the cell common RS reception level La and the service edge information (step 1021). Specifically, if La is smaller than the threshold ⁇ and is a service edge, the frequency band of another broadcast service is switched (step 1024), and otherwise, MBMS reception is continued (step 1022).
- the reception level of the cell-common RS temporarily drops due to the influence of the surrounding environment even though the MBMS area is sufficiently present (when the service edge information is not an edge), and the threshold value ⁇ It becomes possible to surely prevent switching to another service by becoming smaller.
- the above flow is used in combination with band reception information and service edge information, but it is also possible to use service edge information alone. For example, if it is known that the user is at the edge by receiving service edge information, the user can recognize that the service will be interrupted by further movement. As a result, for example, when broadcasting recording is performed, it is possible to make a determination that the user himself / herself stops moving.
- the embodiment described above has described an example of a system as shown in FIG. 2, that is, a system in which a plurality of services are not provided in the same frequency band and the same position.
- an MBMS system having a plurality of services in the same frequency band and the same position is also being studied.
- a method of dividing two services into a subcarrier in a high frequency band and a subcarrier in a low frequency band of the same frequency band, a method of dividing a service by time, and the like can be considered. An embodiment in such a case will be described.
- FIG. 11 shows a system conceptual diagram in such a case.
- SA2 service 2 broadcast and SA5 (service 5) broadcast are simultaneously serviced in the frequency band f2 around the position x1
- SA1 service 1 broadcast is performed in the frequency band f1 around the position x2.
- SA6 service 6 broadcasting is being serviced simultaneously.
- the band information is band information as shown in MBMS band information 2-1 or 2-2 of FIG. 12, and only the format of the band information is changed.
- (a), (b), and (c) are band information broadcast at each of the positions x1, x2, and x3 in FIG.
- the MBMS band information 2-1 includes a record that associates the SA1 (service 1) broadcast with the frequency f1, and a record that associates the SA2 (service 2) broadcast and the SA5 (service 5) broadcast with the frequency f2.
- 2-1 (b) includes a record that associates the SA1 (service 1) broadcast with the frequency f1 and the SA6 (service 6) broadcast, and a record that associates the SA3 (service 3) broadcast with the frequency f2.
- 2-1 (c) includes a record that associates the SA6 (service 6) broadcast with the frequency f1 and a record that associates the SA4 (service 4) broadcast with the frequency f3.
