Systems, apparatuses, and computer implemented methods may be directed to identifying that a user equipment (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 mode), or through a cell selection procedure (RRC idle mode). The target base station can be identified based on a multimedia broadcast single frequency network area identifier (MBSFN ArealD) for a synchronized MBMS continuity across network cells or by a temporary multicast group identity (TMGI) for asynchronous MBMS continuity across network cells. |
