Abstract

A method and an apparatus for transmitting multimedia broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) subframe configuration information of neighboring cells in a wireless system is provided. The method comprises: transmitting, by a base station of a serving cell, MBSFN subframe configuration information of the serving cell to a UE which accepts services from the serving cell via a broadcast control channel (BCCH); transmitting information on a subset relationship of MBSFN subframe configurations of the neighboring cells relative to the MBSFN subframe configuration of the serving cell to the UE which accepts services from the serving cell via the broadcast control channel (BCCH); performing, by the UE, measurements on the neighboring cells according to the subframe configuration information of the serving cell and the information on the subset relationship of the MBSFN subframe configurations of the neighboring cells relative to the MBSFN subframe configuration of the serving cell.
