Processing method and apparatus for multiple eMBMS service sources

A terminal device, comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive:
• a first service list of a plurality of service lists, the first service list corresponding to a first network device of a plurality of network devices;
• and
• a second service list of the plurality of service lists, the second service list corresponding to a second network device of the plurality of network devices;
• and
• a processor coupled to the receiver and configured to:
• merge the plurality of service lists to generate an integrated service list, the integrated service list recording a first correspondence between each of the plurality of service lists and a respective network device of the plurality of network devices, each of the plurality of service lists of the integrated service list comprising at least one service, and the integrated service list including a repeated service;
• provide the integrated service list to user equipment so that a user selects a target service according to the integrated service list, the target service corresponding to the repeated service;
• simultaneously receive the target service from the first and second network devices;
• measure a first measured quality of a first eMBMS signal corresponding to the target service and the first network device;
• measure a second measured quality of a second eMBMS signal corresponding to the target service and the second network device;
• determine that the first measured quality is greater than the second measured quality;
• and
• obtain data corresponding to the target service from the first network device as service data of the target service based on the first measured quality being greater than the second measured quality.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive a first service list of a plurality of service lists, the first service list corresponding to a first network device of a plurality of network devices;
• receive a second service list of the plurality of service lists, the second service list corresponding to a second network device of the plurality of network devices;
• merge the plurality of service lists to generate an integrated service list, the integrated service list recording a first correspondence between each of the plurality of service lists and a respective network device of the plurality of network devices, each of the plurality of service lists of the integrated service list comprising at least one service, and the integrated service list including a repeated service;
• provide the integrated service list to user equipment so that a user selects a target service according to the integrated service list, the target service corresponding to the repeated service;
• simultaneously receive the target service from the first and second network devices;
• measure a first measured quality of a first eMBMS signal corresponding to the target service and the first network device;
• measure a second measured quality of a second eMBMS signal corresponding to the target service and the second network device;
• determine that the first measured quality is greater than the second measured quality;
• and
• obtain data corresponding to the target service from the first network device as service data of the target service based on the first measured quality being greater than the second measured quality.
