Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing adaptive bearer configuration for MBMS delivery is disclosed. A first aspect of the present disclosure is a method of operating a wireless infrastructure entity () wherein a common radio resource () is allocated for receiving a response from at least one mobile station (). A request message, similar to a request for counting, is broadcast to all mobile stations () within a coverage area (. If at least one mobile station () responds to the request, PTM transmission mode will be used for MBMS delivery within the given coverage area (). If more than one mobile station () within the coverage area () responds to the request, then all the responses will be over the common radio resource (). The total number of responses to the request message may be limited by providing a probability factor within the request message.
