Abstract

A SC informs a communication service (CS) node (e.g., GCS AS) of a data transfer start time for the bearer (i.e., the user plane ready time for the bearer). Additionally, in some embodiments, the SC informs the communication service node (e.g., GCS AS) as to a data transfer stop time for the bearer. This provides a distinct advantage because the CS node will now have information as to when it should start (and stop) data delivery, thereby leading to a higher quality of experience (QoE) of MBMS delivery.
