First Claim
1. A method of receiving a multimedia broadcast/multicast (MBMS) service in a mobile communication system, said mobile communication system including a network having at least one cell, a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE, said method comprising:
- receiving, in said second UE, a first indicator from said network;
identifying, by said second UE, that a specific cell of said at least one cell lacks uplink capabilities based on said received first indicator, wherein said first indicator indicates an operation of said specific cell providing only MBMS service; and
receiving, in said second UE, the MBMS service from said specific cell.

Abstract
A method for communicating between a network and a dual receiver UE includes receiving first signaling from a first network node at a first frequency, and receiving second signaling via a PtM control channel from a second network node at a second frequency. The method further includes receiving a request from the second network node at the second frequency, such that the request is carried on the PtM control channel, and transmitting to the first network node a response to the request from the second network node. An alternative method includes receiving communications from a first network node, and identifying that the first network node lacks uplink capabilities. This method may further include identifying that the first network node provides a MBMS service, and receiving the MBMS service from the first network node despite the identification of the lack of uplink capabilities.
