What is MBMS and why Multicast/Broadcast is introduced to UMTS MBMS Standarisation in 3GPP
Reference architecture model

Functional entities to support MBMS MBMS service provisioning: broadcast vs. multicast MBMS Main open issues Conclusions and possible service solutions
Multimedia Broadcast/Multimedia Service Aims to offer an efficient way to transmit data from single source to multiple destinations over radio network Network resources are saved MBMS is realised by addition of existing and new functional entities of the 3GPP architecture
For some applications multiple users can receive the same data in the same time: It would benefical for the network to transmit the data only once over a particular link. Cell Broacast Services (CBS) can be used to transmit low bitrate data to particular cells (service areas). IP multicast as such can not provide means for multiple subscribers to share radio or core network resources in UMTS system.
With incresing use of high bandwidth applications in UMTS, especially with large number of users receiving the same high data rate services, efficient informantion distribution is essential. Thus broadcast and multicast are techniques to decrease the amount of data within the network and use the resources more efficiently. 3GPP TS 22.146

MBMS functions in two modes:
* available without subscription for all UEs in a cell
The Broadcast Mode The Multicast Mode

* requires subscription
The connection procedure The multicast mode

Subscription Service announcement Joining Session start MBMS notification Data transfer Session Stop Leaving
The broadcast mode

Service announcement Session Start MBMS notification Data transfer Session Stop
Service announcement
Operator may use different mechanisms to inform users about available MBMS services (service discovery)
Announcements are available also for those who are not subscribed
Location information may be used
Session start (network set up)
Establishes the needed network resources for the MBMS data transfer
Resources are reserved from both core network and radio access network
MBMS notification
Informs users about on-going or fothcoming services

available for all users with activated MBMS services
Data transfer
The data is transferred to the user equipments (UEs)

The UE is in connected mode
No ciphering
No retransmitting, so there may be some data loss
Session stop
The reserved network resources are released when theres no more data to be transferred
Subscription
Subscription
First the user starts a relationship with the operator by subscribing to a spesific MBMS service
After subscription the user may receive related MBMS service and operator may charge for it
Service announcement Joining Session start MBMS notification Data transfer Session Stop Leaving
Subscription can be made for example in the internet
Service announcement
Subscription
Same as in broadcast mode
Joining
Subscription
In the joining phase the user indicates to the network that he/she wants to specific multicast data stream
Joining can be made at any time Used for charging so authentication is needed
Session start
Subscription
Same as in broadcast mode with one exception:

The network decides whether a common channel for all UEs in a cell is used, or separate channel for each UE
MBMS notification Same as in the broadcast mode

Subscription Service announcement Joining Session start MBMS notification Data transfer Session Stop Leaving
Data transfer
Data is encrypted Otherwise same as in the broadcast mode
Session stop Same as in the broadcast mode
Leaving
Subscription
When user no longer wants to belong to a multicast group and receive data transfer
Doesnt unsubscribe the user from the service, just from the current data transfer Can be made any time
Security: Network level or application level ciphering
MBMS Service Area.

Mobility of user equipment
IP multicast traffic can be received by mobile subcscribers already: However, IP multicast is transparent to UMTS system and ptp connection between each UE and GGSN is used. MBMS is transparent to end users (they have same experience as with ptp connections) but saves resources on the mobile operator side: optimization of the radio access For example in a sports event, playbacks can be broadcasted to all audience UEs automatically Operators can use MBMS to inform about new services
