System and Method for Controlling Base Stations for Multimedia Broadcast Communications
First Claim
1. An apparatus for use with a communication system, comprising:
- a reporting subsystem configured to compile an activity status report based on a counting report and a channel quality indicator report received from user equipment and to send said activity status report to an entity of said communication system; and
a dynamic single-frequency network subsystem configured to control a multimedia broadcast and multimedia multicast service provided by said apparatus as a function of a static contribution table associated therewith and said activity status report.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and system are provided for controlling base stations for multimedia broadcast communications. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a reporting subsystem configured to compile an activity status report based on a counting report and a channel quality indicator report received from user equipment and to send the activity status report to an entity of the communication system. The apparatus also includes a dynamic single-frequency network subsystem configured to control a multimedia broadcast and multimedia multicast service provided by the apparatus as a function of a static contribution table associated therewith and the activity status report.
