A method in a network node in a mobile communication system is described, together with corresponding devices, for providing Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service, MBMS, from the network node to a user equipment, UE. The method comprises transmitting data of at least one MBMS service and scheduling information for said at least one MBMS. The transmission takes place in a current scheduling period and in a plurality of consecutive scheduling periods following the current scheduling period. The scheduling information is determined such that the scheduling information comprises information about transmission of data of the at least one MBMS service for a scheduling period that is later than the current scheduling period.
