Abstract:
A network node (110), a wireless device (120) and methods therein, for enabling the wireless device (120) to obtain configuration information from a multicast control channel, e.g. SC-MCCH, which is transmitted by the network node (110). The network node (110) transmits an indication of change of the multicast control channel, wherein the indication further indicates whether the wireless device (120) is affected by the change and needs to acquire or obtain the multicast control channel or not. The network node (110) further transmits the multicast control channel as changed according to said indication. Thereby, the wireless device (120) can decide to obtain and acquire the multicast control channel only if it is affected by the change and to refrain when not affected, which will reduce the consumption of energy in the wireless device (120).
