Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be an eMBMS middleware. The apparatus receives a request to activate reception of an eMBMS service. The apparatus receives a request for a segment associated with the eMBMS service. The apparatus determines whether the segment of the eMBMS service is available at the eMBMS middleware. The apparatus fetches the segment from the unicast server if the segment is not available at the eMBMS middleware.
