Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses and computer programs for facilitating MBMS reception. There is provided a method performed by a network node. The method comprises obtaining, for a terminal device served by a PLMN, PLMN information related to one or more PLMNs and providing the PLMN information to the terminal device, which can prepare for reception of MBMS from a PLMN other than the serving PLMN among the one or more PLMNs based on the PLMN information. The one or more PLMNs comprise at least one PLMN other than the PLMN serving the terminal device. With embodiments of the present disclosure, performance of MBMS reception can be improved.
