Abstract

The multimedia broadcast and multicast services (MBMS) in 3GPP LTE is characterized by multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) operation. The multicast services are transmitted by single frequency network (SFN) mode, and the unicast services are delivered with point-to-point (PTP) mode. To avoid the network congestion of the multicast services in MBSFN, a novel resources allocation scheme (RAS) based on mode switch for the multicast services is proposed. The RAS takes advantages of the mode switch between SFN and PTP for the multicast services and minimizes the demanded radio resources of the maximum load cell. The simulation results show that the proposed RAS needs less demanded radio resources of the maximum load cell than SFN mode for all the multicast services.
