Abstract  Abstract

Techniques for supporting multimedia broadcast/multicast services (MBMS) are described. In an aspect resources used for MBMS services may be provided with a multi-tier structure. In the first tier resources (e.g. subframes) used for a multicast control channel (MCCH) for MBMS services may be signaled in a system information block (SIB). In the second tier resources (e.g. subframes) for channels carrying data for MBMS services may be signaled via the MCCH. In one design a base station/cell may determine resources used to send a MCCH. The cell may generate a SIB comprising information indicative of the resources used to send the MCCH. The cell may send the SIB in a broadcast control channel (BCCH). The cell may send the MCCH on the resources indicated by the information sent in the SIB. The cell may send other channels carrying data for MBMS services based on information sent in the MCCH.
