MBSFN Synchronization Area: an area of the network where all eNodeBs can be synchronized
and perform MBSFN transmissions. MBSFN Synchronization Areas are capable of supporting
one or more MBSFN Areas. On a given frequency layer, a eNodeB can only belong to one
MBSFN Synchronization Area. MBSFN Synchronization Areas are independent from the
definition of MBMS Service Areas
MBSFN Area: an MBSFN Area consists of a group of cells within an MBSFN Synchronization Area
of a network, which are co-ordinated to achieve an MBSFN Transmission. All cells within an
MBSFN Area contribute to the MBSFN Transmission and advertise its availability. The UE may
only need to consider a subset of the MBSFN areas that are configured, i.e. when it knows
which MBSFN area applies for the service(s) it is interested to receive.
MBMS Service Area : Comprises of one or more MBMS Service Area Identities (MBMS SAIs), A
cell may belong to one or more MBMS SAs. The area within which data of a specific MBMS
session are sent. This MBMS Service Area is the same or a subset of the Multicast or Broadcast
Service Area.

Limitations
Content synchronization across cells of multiple eNodeBs can be only guaranteed by proper
configuration of each eNodeBs MCE. This is ensured by NetAct.
1.4, 3, 5 MHz are not supported for MBMS
Deployed on a single frequency plane only. Consequently, mobility procedures for MBMS
reception over more than one frequency are not supported.
MBSFN Area reserved cell which does not perform MBSFN transmission is not supported.
MBMS Service counting is not supported.

When MBMS is enabled, MBSFN Area Id is broadcast over the air and is used to
scramble the MBSFN reference signals.
Currently there is only one MBSFN Area ID supported.

Placing small-cells within the coverage area of macro eNBs introduces several
challenges in terms of interference management. The perceived Signal to
Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) by pico-UEs in the extended area is poor,
due to the stronger macro interference and lower signal strength from the
serving pico-eNB.

The eICIC functionality will establish eICIC partnerships

between a macro eNB and its sub-tending pico eNBs
Operator configures one macro cell partner on each pico.
A pico cell can only have one macro cell partner.
Following X2 setup, if a pico is configured with a macro
cell partner the pico will initiate the eICIC partnership
establishment by sending an X2: LOAD INFORMATION
message to the macro.
