SERVICE CONTINUITY FOR GROUP COMMUNICATIONS OVER EVOLVED MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST MULTICAST SERVICE

摘要

A UE maintains continuity of reception of a service of interest that is available over eMBMS broadcast service and unicast. The UE receives the service of interest over eMBMS from a network within a first MBSFN area supporting the eMBMS broadcast service. The UE receives at least one MBSFN threshold from the network and at least one MBSFN measurement from the network. The UE switches from reception of the eMBMS broadcast from the first MBSFN area to one of reception through unicast or reception through a second MBSFN area supporting the eMBMS broadcast service, based on the at least one MBSFN threshold and the at least one MBSFN measurement.
