Abstract:
1. A method of handling multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) reception for a mobile device capable of simultaneously receiving data on a plurality of component carriers in a long term evolution-advanced wireless communication system, the method comprising: enabling the plurality of component carriers; applying a multi-media broadcast over a single frequency network (MBSFN) allocation on a first enabled component carrier and not on rest of the plurality of enabled component carriers, when the mobile device receives the MBSFN allocation on the first enabled component carrier; and receiving data in a subframe of a second enabled component carrier, wherein the subframe is not a MBSFN subframe used for reception of MBMS data when the mobile device is in a radio resource control connected mode and a subframe time of the subframe corresponds to a MBSFN subframe time.
