Abstract

A first base station receives from a second base station, an eNB configuration update message comprising MBMS configuration parameter(s) employed by a first cell of the second base station. The MBMS configuration parameter(s) comprise: TMGI(s) of MBMS service(s); a first discontinuous reception inactivity timer; and a first scheduling period start offset. The first base station determines a second discontinuous reception inactivity timer and a second scheduling period start offset for the MBMS service(s) of the TMGI(s). The determination is based on the first discontinuous reception inactivity timer and the first scheduling period start offset. The first base station transmits to wireless device(s), the second discontinuous reception inactivity timer and the second scheduling period start offset. The first base station transmits to the wireless device(s), MBMS transport blocks for the MBMS service(s) based on the second discontinuous reception inactivity timer and the second scheduling period start offset.
