Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present document provides a switchover method and apparatus for multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) transmission modes; the method includes the following steps: a network side notifying a user equipment (UE) that one or more MBMSs will be transmitted by means of a point to multipoint (PTM) mode, then transmitting relevant information of the one or more MBMSs to the UE. The present document ensures the continuity of the MBMSs which are being received by the UE during the switching process from a PTP mode to the PTM mode, and is easy to implement and operate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What we claim is: 1. A switchover method for multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) transmission modes, comprising: a network side counting up a number of user equipments (UE) which are receiving one or more MBMSs by means of a point to point (PTP) mode and/or a number of user equipments interested in receiving the one or more MBMSs by means of a point to multipoint (PTM) mode, if the network side determines to trigger to transmit the one or more MBMSs by means of the PT…
