Systems, apparatuses, and computer implemented methods may be directed to identifying that a UE is near a cell edge of the source base station, the UE receiving or requesting a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS). A target base station can be identified based, at least in part, on the MBMS received at or requested by the UE. The target base station can be provided to the UE, for example, by providing an indication to the UE of a target base station from which to receive services. The target base station may be acquired through a handover procedure (RRC connected), or through a cell selection procedure (RRC idle). The target base station can be identified based on a multimedia broadcast single frequency network area identifier (MBSFN AreaID) for a synchronized MBMS continuity across network cells or by a temporary multicast group identity (TMGI) for asynchronous MBMS continuity across network cells. |

1. A computer implemented method in a communications network, the method comprising:
determining, at a source base station, that a user equipment (UE) is near a cell edge of a source base station, the UE receiving a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS), wherein determining that UE is near the cell edge comprises receiving, from the UE, a measurement report, the measurement report including a multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) area identifier (MBSFN-AreaID) indicative of the MBMS that the UE is currently receiving; identifying, at the source base station, a target base station based, at least in part, on the MBMS; and providing, by the source base station, an indication of the target base station to the UE.
