Abstract
A method of transmitting information related to a multicast service in a Mobile Telecommunications network is provided. In one embodiment, the information related to the presence of cells in a registration area which are part of a multicast service area for the multicast service is transmitted between radio network controllers. In another embodiment, the information related to the multicast service one or more user terminals have joined is stored in a radio network controller while the user terminal has joined said one or more multicast services.
Claims30
A method of transmitting information related to a multicast service in a mobile telecommunications network, wherein information related to the presence of cells in a registration area which are part of a multicast service area for said multicast service is transmitted between radio network controllers.
A method of providing a multicast service in a mobile telecommunications network, wherein a first radio network controller keeps information related to mobile terminals in a particular, state within a registration area which are interested in one or more multicast services.
A method of providing information related to a multicast service in a mobile telecommunications network, wherein information related to the multicast service which one or more user terminals have joined is stored in a radio network controller while the user terminal has joined said one or more multicast services.
A method of providing a multicast service in a mobile telecommunications network, wherein counting of user terminals in RRC-idle state and/or URA_PCH state interested in a particular multicast service is performed using a first and a second probability factor, respectively, and wherein said first probability factor is different to said second probability factor.
A method of providing a multicast service in a mobile telecommunications network, wherein counting of user terminals interested in a particular multicast service is performed using a probability factor and an additional parameter.
