Abstract  Abstract

A method for transferring multimedia broadcasts/multicast services (MBMS) in a wireless communication system includes: determining or estimating a number of users in a cell to receive an MBMS service; using the determined or estimated number of users to determine whether a dedicated channel or a shared/common channel is to be used for the MBMS service; and mapping MBMS data to the determined dedicated or shared/common channel; the determined dedicated or shared/common channel is at least based on a threshold test, wherein on a condition that the determined or estimated number of users is below a threshold, a dedicated channel is used for the MBMS and on a condition that the determined or estimated number of users is above the threshold, a shared/common channel is used for the MBMS, and wherein the shared/common channel includes a secondary common control physical channel, S-CCPCH. A system, program and storage medium are also provided.
