Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receiving information indicating an available MBMS service, a non-self-standing carrier frequency on which the available MBMS service is provided, and one or more PCC frequencies to which the non-self-standing carrier frequency is attached. The UE selects a preference for one PCC frequency of the one or more PCC frequencies in order to obtain information for receiving the available MBMS service on the non-self-standing carrier frequency. The UE receives the available MBMS service on the non-self-standing carrier frequency based on the obtained information.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving first information indicating an available multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service, a non-self-standing carrier frequency on which the available MBMS service is provided, and one or more primary component carrier (PCC) frequencies to which the non-self-standing carrier frequency is attached;
- selecting, after receiving the first information, a preference for one PCC frequency of the one or more PCC frequencies in order to obtain second information for receiving the available MBMS service on the non-self-standing carrier frequency;
- and
- receiving the available MBMS service on the non-self-standing carrier frequency based on the obtained second information.
A method of wireless communication of a network entity, comprising:
- receiving information indicating an available multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service, a non-self-standing carrier frequency on which the available MBMS service is provided, and one or more primary component carrier (PCC) frequencies to which the non-self-standing carrier frequency is attached;
- and
- sending the information to a user equipment (UE).
An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus being a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- receive first information indicating an available multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service, a non-self-standing carrier frequency on which the available MBMS service is provided, and one or more primary component carrier (PCC) frequencies;
- select, after reception of the first information, a preference for one PCC frequency of the one or more PCC frequencies in order to obtain second information for receiving the available MBMS service on the non-self-standing carrier frequency;
- and
- receive the available MBMS service on the non-self-standing carrier frequency based on the obtained second information.
An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus being a network entity, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- receive information indicating an available multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service, a non-self-standing carrier frequency on which the available MBMS service is provided, and one or more primary component carrier (PCC) frequencies to which the non-self-standing carrier frequency is attached;
- and
- send the information to a user equipment (UE).
