Abstract
A method for providing multicast/broadcast service continuity for mobile terminals in a radio access network includes the mobile terminals registering with a base station of said radio access network regarding the multicast/broadcast service and the base station transmitting multicast/broadcast service related data as group communications to registered mobile terminals. The method involves performing, by a first mobile terminal, multicast/broadcast service related radio measurements, and taking, based on the results of the multicast/broadcast service related radio measurements, a decision on actions to be performed by at least one of the base station and the first mobile terminal for preserving reliable transmission/reception of the multicast/broadcast service related data to/by the first mobile terminal.
