Abstract
A method and apparatus for multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) counting is provided. A user equipment (UE) may transmit selected service information to a multi-cell and multicast coordination entity (MCE) through a target evolved node base station (eNB), every time that a service requiring counting is received or cancelled and thus, the MCE may accurately manage a number of UEs that receive a service for each eNB. Also, the use may transmit selected service information to the MCE through the target eNB every time that the UE enters a new cell and thus, the MCE may accurately manage a number of UEs that receive a service for each eNB.
