Claim:
1. A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising: receiving a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service from a first cell based on first cell Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) service configuration information of the first cell; determining a neighbor cell configuration; determining, that the neighbor cell configuration indicates that at least one neighbor cell of a plurality of neighbor cells is within a same MBSFN area as the first cell; switching from being served by the first cell to a second cell based on determining that at least one neighbor cell is within the MBSFN area as the first cell, wherein the second cell is a neighbor cell of the first cell; receiving, by the UE, the MBMS service from the second cell based on the first cell MBSFN service configuration information used for receiving the MBMS service from the first cell prior to second cell MBSFN service configuration information being obtained, the first cell MBSFN service configuration information being utilized for the second cell when neighbor cell configuration information indicates that at least one neighbor cell of the plurality of neighbor cells has MBSFN subframe allocations; obtaining the second cell MBSFN service configuration information of the second cell from the second cell; and receiving the MBMS service from the second cell based on the obtained second cell MBSFN service configuration information.
