Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a first base station and a second base station may be neighbor base stations and the first base station may receive, from the second base station, information relating to a multicast-broadcast services (MBS) session context of an MBS session supported by the second base station. The first base station may use the received MBS session context information to control communication or connections between the first base station and one or more user equipment (UEs) that are served by the first base station. For example, the first base station may use the received MBS session context information for target cell selection in a handover procedure, an MBS-specific measurement configuration, interference avoidance, or system information block (SIB) construction, among various other use cases.
