Abstract:
1. A method for implementing MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service) service when a relay node is deployed in network, wherein, the method comprises the following steps: providing a the base station receiving configuration information, reported by the relay node, of all cells served by the relay node, the configuration information comprises MBMS service configuration information of all cells served by the relay node, wherein the configuration information, reported by said relay node, of all cells served by the relay node is acquired from OAM (Operation Administration and Maintenance) equipment by the relay node; sending via the base station said configuration information of all cells served by the relay node to an MCE (Multi-cell/Multicast Coordination Entity); wherein when MBSFN (Multimedia Broadcast multicast service Single Frequency Network) Area configuration information returned from the MCE received from said base station contains MBSFN Area configuration information of one or several cells served by the relay node, the base station sending the above MBSFN Area configuration information of said one or several cells served by the relay node to the relay node to configure said one or several cells served by the relay node to support MBMS service, the MBSFN Area configuration information of said one or several cells served by the relay node includes: MBMS Synchronization Area ID of all cells served by the relay node; and/or, MBMS Service Area List of all cells served by the relay node.
