Abstract
Disclosed is a method for accessing a broadcast service by a user equipment, the user equipment accessing a mobile network providing services carried on at least a first frequency carrier: —detecting at least one system information block within a downlink signal issued by the mobile network on the first frequency carrier, the system information block including cross-carrier signaling information indicating a resource location corresponding to a broadcast service provided by a non-unicast network on a second frequency carrier being disjoint from the first frequency carrier; —obtaining on-carrier signaling information related to at least a first broadcast service provided by the non-unicast network on the second frequency carrier, based on the resource location indicated in the system information block; and —accessing the first broadcast service based on the on-carrier signaling information.
