    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for supporting local MBMS distribution are provided. One method includes receiving, by a broadcast multicast service center (BM-SC), an activate multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) bearer request message to initiate an activate multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) bearer request procedure. The activate MBMS bearer request message comprises at least one of information on local MBMS distribution received from a local MBMS entity (LME), or a destination area, or a destination area and an indication that preferred delivery is via local distribution. The method may further include determining whether local distribution path will be used based on at least one of information received in the activate MBMS bearer request message, or stored information about local MBMS entities.

    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved signaling. For example, certain communication systems may benefit from improved signaling before network access is revoked through a citizens broadband radio service. A method may include receiving at a network entity from a citizens broadband radio service device a warning message. The warning message may include a drop time after which communication between a network and a user equipment using the citizens broadband radio service will terminate. The method may also include triggering the performing of an action based on the warning message by the network before the drop time.

    Abstract: In the area of mobile telecommunications, the performance of single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC) can be enhanced so as to provide video single radio voice call continuity (vSRVCC). Particularly, SRVCC/vSRVCC procedures can be configured for more efficient use of radio resources. A method includes receiving a query to determine in a multi-session scenario whether a last active session is a voice only session or a video session. A method also includes sending a response to the query indicating whether the last active session is the voice only session or the video session.

    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved voice call support. For example, it may be helpful for a user equipment in a first radio access technology that may not support voice calls to initiate a voice call with a second radio access technology. A method includes initiating a voice call between a user equipment to an entity in a second radio access technology cell. The user equipment is located in a first radio access technology cell. The method also includes registering the user equipment with the second radio access technology cell. In addition, the method includes conducting the voice call with the entity via the second radio access technology cell.
