Method and Arrangement in a Telecommunication System

A method in a user equipment in a cell of a cellular communication system, said user equipment being connected to a network node providing broadcast information services in one or more Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services single frequency network (MBSFN) areas which include said cell to said user equipment, said method for reading a change of information for one of said broadcast information services to which the user equipment has subscribed, comprising:

• receiving on a broadcast channel information on identifiers of at least some of said MBSFN areas to support identifying a respective area-specific Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS) control channel;
• receiving a MBMS notification message;
• and,
• deriving from an identifier of one or more MBSFN areas included in a received MBMS notification message, the MBMS control channel associated with one or more of said MBSFN areas based on said broadcasted information.

A node of a cellular communication system, said node being adapted to provide communication services to a plurality of user equipments in a cell of said cellular communication system and said node further adapted to support broadcast information services in one or more Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services single frequency network (MBSFN) areas which include said cell, said node comprising:

• a processor operable to execute stored instructions and operable when executing instructions to initiate operations as follows:
• broadcast information on identifiers of at least some of said MBSFN areas to identify a respective area-specific Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS) control channel;
• and,
• transmit MBMS notification messages associated with one of said MBSFN areas based on said broadcasted information to the user equipments in said cell for notifying changes of the information in one of said MBSFN-areas.
