Abstract
A base station, a mobile apparatus, and a communication method thereof for multicast and broadcast service (MBS) are provided. The base station and the mobile apparatus belong to an MBS zone. The base station sets an indicator in a control channel allocation of a frame. The indicator is related to a cell-specific MBS configuration of the base station. The control channel allocation is an allocation that the mobile apparatus has to read when it is in power-saving mode and when it has to receive MBS data. The MBS data is related to the MBS zone. The mobile apparatus reads the indicator in power-saving mode and can derive the cell-specific MBS configuration according to the indicator. The mobile apparatus does not have to search the whole frame to derive the cell-specific MBS configuration.
