Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide methods and systems for enabling MBMS transmission in at least one MBMSFN area. The method can include determining a first MBMS configuration comprising at least a first MBSFN subframe configuration for MBMS transmission on a first carrier frequency, and a second configuration comprising of at least a second blank or partly blank subframe configuration on a second carrier frequency, wherein at least one first MBSFN subframe at least partly overlaps in time with at least one second subframe. The method can further include configuring a second network node with the first MBMS configuration for MBMS signal transmission on the first carrier frequency. The method can further include configuring a third network node with the second configuration on the second carrier frequency.
