Abstract
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a first UE. The UE receives an IP packet including header information and data for a MBMS session. The first UE establishes a WWAN communication link with a base station through a WWAN RAT. The first UE provides an access point accessing the WWAN communication link to at least one second UE through a WLAN RAT. The first UE determines a channel condition of the WWAN communication link. The first UE manages at least one multimedia service between the base station and the at least one second UE based on the channel condition.
