ABSTRACT:
A distributed architecture and method for MBMS delivery is disclosed. The various embodiments enable selection combining and soft combining by UEs for MBMS transmissions. An MBMS service notification (509) is sent to all E-Nodes (503). The E-Nodes proceed to request counting (511) from the UEs (501). A transmission request (513) is then sent to the anchor MBMS-Transmission Control Function (TCF) (505) from the E-Nodes (503). The anchor MBMS-TCF (505) generates resource allocation and scheduling profiles and segmentation and reassembly (SAR) profiles for the E-Nodes and sends the profiles (515) to the E-Nodes. The E-Nodes (503) use the profiles for resource allocation and configuration (517) and transmit MBMS data (519) in accordance with the profiles. The anchor MBMS-TCF (505) may then coordinate.
