Abstract:
A network selects a transmission mechanism for delivering a Point to Multipoint (PTM) compatible service based on cell identification (cell ID) information identifying the serving cells of user equipment (UE) devices interested in receiving the PTM compatible service. In some situations, the cell ID information is obtained by the network using a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) counting procedure where cell ID information is requested in a MBMS Counting Request Message and provided by each UE device in a MBMS Counting Response Message.
