1. A method comprising:
- determining a number of users in a cell having an activated multimedia broadcasts/multicast services (MBMS) service;
using the determined number of users and cell condition information to determine a channel transfer type to be used for the MBMS service;
receiving MBMS data; and
mapping the MBMS data according to the determined channel transfer type for transferring MBMS data;
wherein the determined channel transfer type is based, at least in part, on whether the determined number of users is above or below a threshold, including utilizing a secondary common control physical channel (S-CCPCH) when the determined number of users is above the threshold.

Abstract
A method and wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for receiving a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) data is disclosed. A WTRU receives MBMS data segments from a first MBMS transmitting source along with segmentation information. The WTRU receives MBMS data segments and segmentation information from a second MBMS transmitting source. The MBMS data segments from the first MBMS transmitting source and the MBMS data segments from the second MBMS transmitting source are received in different order. The WTRU reassembles the MBMS data segments based on the segmentation information received from the first MBMS transmitting source and the second MBMS transmitting source.
