METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ORGANIZING THE CELLS OF A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND ALLOCATING RESOURCES TO PROVIDE MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST SERVICES
First Claim
1. A method of providing multimedia broadcast services (MBMS), the method comprising:
- organizing a plurality of wireless communication cells into a plurality of cell sets, each cell set having at least one cell;
determining whether or not to use multi-frame allocations; and
on a condition that the use of multi-frame allocations is determined, establishing a repetition period for all cells and a subset of frames to be used for MBMS transmission for each repetition period for each set of cells.

Abstract
A system and method for configuring the system for configuring a wireless multi-cell communication to provide multimedia broadcast services (MBMS) to a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs). The cells of the communication system are organized into a plurality of sets of one or more cells. Resource units are assigned to each set of cells in the communication system. The assigned resource units are allocated in each cell of the communication system for MBMS transmission. The WTRUs receive information indicating how to access the resource units allocated for MBMS transmission. The WTRUs receive the MBMS from one or more of the cells of the communication system.
