Abstract
A method and apparatus for service continuity on a mobile communication device is disclosed. The method can include receiving (320) a first service on a first carrier, where the first service can have a multicast subframe allocation pattern. The method can include establishing (340) a connection on a second carrier on a universal mobile telecommunication system. The method can include informing (350) a source of the second carrier of the multicast subframe allocation pattern of the first service. The method can include receiving (360) scheduling grants for subframes on the second carrier. The subframes corresponding to the received scheduling grants can be distinct from subframes corresponding to the multicast subframe allocation pattern of the first service. The method can include receiving (370) a second service on the second carrier based on the scheduling grants while receiving the first service on the first carrier.
