Abstract
A method and a system for implementing MBMS. According to embodiments of the present invention, the MBMS are born on different multimedia broadcast multicast bearers; each multimedia broadcast multicast bearers corresponds to a multimedia broadcast multicast area; an association relationship between the different multimedia broadcast multicast bearers of MBMS of a same type is set at a network side; when the UE switches between different multimedia broadcast multicast areas, the network side provides the UE with the multimedia broadcast multicast bearer of the multimedia broadcast multicast area where the UE is located currently according to the association relationship between the multimedia broadcast multicast bearers corresponding to the MBMS request by the UE. The method and the system in accordance with the present invention can support MBMS better.
