A method for selecting a cell by a user equipment (UE) to receive a
Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) service in a mobile
communication system which supports the MBMS service with different
frequency allocations (FAs) in the same area. In the method, a radio
network controller (RNC) transmits information on an MBMS cell to the UE,
and the MBMS cell information includes an MBMS offset for guaranteeing
priority for cell reselection to the MBMS cell. The UE performs cell
reselection using the MBMS cell information and receives the MBMS service
from the reselected cell.
