Abstract
A method for setting up signaling connection between an RNC and an SGSN in a mobile communication system is provided. Upon receiving a service request for a particular MBMS service from a particular UE, an RNC determines whether it is necessary to set up new signaling connection for the particular MBMS service, and sets up signaling connection with an SGSN according to the determination result. The SGSN, if it desires to stop the particular MBMS service, sends a service stop request to the RNC over the signaling connection set for the particular MBMS service. The RNC then instructs at least one UE providing the particular MBMS service to stop the particular MBMS service in response to the service stop request.
