Abstract
A device for controlling the access of user equipments to broadcast MBMS-type services includes i) a detector for determining whether general information, related to a MBMS service and broadcast by the radio access network, contains configuration information for a MICH-type, notification transport channel dedicated to the MBMS service and ii) a controller for either forcing the user equipment to periodically monitor a MCCH-type logical channel which carries control information related to the service, in the event that the configuration information for the MICH channel is not determined, in order to retrieve information necessary for accessing the MBMS service; or at least suggesting that the user equipment monitor the MICH channel in the event that its configuration information is determined, in order to retrieve update information for the MCCH channel making it possible to monitor the MCCH channel, so as to retrieve the information necessary for accessing the MBMS service.
