Abstract:
A method is provided for use by a user terminal operating an IP-based multimedia broadcast/multicast service. The method comprises storing information relating to user service registrations performed using an IP connection such as a Packet Data Protocol, PDP, context established to enable connectivity between the user terminal and a service node for the broadcast/multicast service. The information is of a type to enable re-registration of at least some of any of the user services affected by a loss of the IP connection. In one embodiment, the multimedia broadcast/multicast service is a 3GPP Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service, MBMS, the user terminal is a User Equipment, UE, and the service node is a Broadcast/Multicast Service Center, BM-SC. In another embodiment, the multimedia broadcast/multicast service is an Open Mobile Alliance Broadcast, OMA BCAST, service, the user terminal is a Terminal, and the service node is an OMA BCAST Subscription Management, BSM, node.
