To this direction, the newly introduced Enhanced - Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (E-MBMS) framework is envisaged to play a fundamental role
during the LTE standardization. E-MBMS constitutes the successor of MBMS which was introduced in the Release 6 of UMTS in order to deliver multimedia data from a single source entity to multiple destinations. This paper proposes a novel
mechanism for efficient radio bearer selection during E-MBMS transmissions in LTE networks. The proposed mechanism is based on the concept of transport channels combination (point to-point and/or point-to-multipoint radio bearers) in any cell/sector of the network in which multicast users are residing.
The mechanism is evaluated through several realistic scenarios and is compared with several radio bearer selection mechanisms in order to highlight the enhancements that it provides.10aMBMS10aPower Control10aUMTS1 aBouras, Christos1 aAlexiou, Antonios1 aRekkas, Evangelos  uhttps://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/optimizing-mbms-power-allocation-through-hsdpa-transmissions
