Methods for dynamically assigning a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) bearer to a Multicast Channel (MCH) in a communication network include a logical server: receiving a MBMS configuration for the communication network; receiving a request for a MBMS bearer within a service area, wherein the request specifies a QoS requirement for the MBMS bearer; inspecting the MBMS configuration to determine if an existing MCH in the service area meets the QoS requirement for the MBMS bearer; based on the inspecting, assigning the MBMS bearer to the existing MCH or assigning the MBMS bearer to a new MCH. |
