METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONFIGURING OVERLAPPING MBMS CONFIGURATIONS ON MULTIPLE CARRIERS

摘要

Embodiments described herein provide methods and systems for enabling MBMS transmission in at least one MBMSFN area. The method can include determining a first MBMS configuration comprising at least a first MBSFN subframe configuration for MBMS transmission on a first carrier frequency, and a second configuration comprising of at least a second blank or partly blank subframe configuration on a second carrier frequency, wherein at least one first MBSFN subframe at least partly overlaps in time with at least one second subframe. The method can further include configuring a second network node with the first MBMS configuration for MBMS signal transmission on the first carrier frequency. The method can further include configuring a third network node with the second configuration on the second carrier frequency.

1. A method in a first network node for enabling multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) transmission in at least one multimedia broadcast multicast service single frequency network (MBSFN) area, the method comprising:
determining a first MBMS configuration comprising at least a first MBSFN subframe configuration for MBMS transmission on a first carrier frequency, and a second configuration comprising of at least a second blank or partly blank subframe configuration on a second carrier frequency, wherein at least one first MBSFN subframe at least partly overlaps in time with at least one second subframe; configuring a second network node with the first MBMS configuration for MBMS signal transmission on the first carrier frequency; and configuring a third network node with the second configuration on the second carrier frequency.
