Abstract:
1. A wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) user equipment (UE) for receiving multimedia broadcasts/multicast services (MBMS), the UE comprising: an MBMS receiver configured to receive information associated with a point-to-point transmission of a point-to-point MBMS service, the received point-to-point transmission information including a point-to-point MBMS identity associated with the point-to-point MBMS service; the MBMS receiver configured to receive point-to-point MBMS segments over a dedicated traffic channel of the point-to-point transmission in response to the received point-to-point transmission information; the MBMS receiver configured to receive information associated with a point-to-multipoint transmission of a point-to-multipoint MBMS service, the received point-to-multipoint transmission information including a point-to-multipoint MBMS identity associated with the point-to-multipoint MBMS service; the MBMS receiver configured to receive point-to-multipoint MBMS segments over secondary common control physical channels (S-CCPCHs) of the point-to-multipoint transmission in response to the received point-to-multipoint transmission information, the S-CCPCHs originating from a plurality of cells and the transmission of the point-to-multipoint MBMS segments are not synchronized in time between the cells; an MBMS segment reassembly device configured to reassemble the point-to-multipoint MBMS segments.
