1. An arrangement for content synchronization when broadcasting data from an infrastructure node in a communications network, said arrangement comprising:
- a receiver receiving data sequences;
a transmitter for transmitting data sequences, wherein each data sequence has a data size and comprises a sequence number (SN); and
a processing arrangement, in a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) gateway (GW) node, configured to add byte numbered sequence numbers to said data sequence, passing between layers in a protocol stack, for transmission to a transceiver station, wherein said byte numbered sequence numbers enable content synchronization, such that the same data is sent from two or more base stations in the same radio resource block.

13. A method of content synchronization when broadcasting data in a communications network, the method comprising:
-
in a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) gateway (GW) node, adding byte numbered sequence numbers to data sequences (PDUs) passed between layers in a protocol stack for transmission to a transceiver station; wherein said byte numbered sequence numbers enable content synchronization, such that the same data is sent from two or more base stations in the same radio resource block. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
