The exemplary embodiments of the invention provide at least a method, apparatus, and executable computer program to perform operations including signaling MBMS change related information to, from, or between network devices in the same or different carrier frequencies. The MBMS related information regarding new, on-going, appearing, and/or disappearing multi-cast services offered in different frequency cells. Further, the exemplary embodiments of the invention provide for determining that multi-cast services in different carrier frequencies are new, on-going, appearing, and/or disappearing multi-cast services. In addition, the exemplary embodiments of the invention provide for operations at network devices to send and receive signaling regarding changes to multi-cast services offered in the same and/or a different carrier frequency. Further, the exemplary embodiments of the invention provide for operations to announce only changes to a set of MBMS services offered in a carrier frequency to network devices in the same or other carrier frequencies. The exemplary embodiments provide operations for signaling between different network devices in the same and/or different carrier frequencies to indicate that a network device is to be informed regarding changes to the multi-cast services provided in a carrier frequency. |
