Abstract
A method for determining a single frequency network area, applied to a broadcasting and multicasting technology field, includes: determining a cell or a cell cluster with a terminal subscribing to the broadcast multicast service; determining a cell or a cell cluster without a terminal subscribing to the broadcast and multicast service that is neighboring to the cell or the cell cluster with a terminal subscribing to the broadcast multicast service, as an auxiliary cell or an auxiliary cell cluster; selecting the auxiliary cell or the auxiliary cell cluster that satisfies the predetermined conditions, and determining both the selected auxiliary cell or the auxiliary cell cluster and the cell or the cell cluster with a terminal subscribing to the broadcast and multicast service as a single frequency network area. Also, a device for determining the single frequency network area is provided.
