Each MBMS bearer carries SYNC information to synchronize all eNodeBs within a
MBSFN Area to ensure the UE receives
constructive signal from these eNodeBs
(ensures that each eNodeB transmits the
same content at the same time/frequency).

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, an
eNodeB can only belong to one MBSFN Synchronization Area.

MBSFN Area
Consists of a group of cells within an MBSFN Synchronization Area of a network, which are co-ordinated to
achieve a MBSFN Transmission. A cell within an
MBSFN Synchronization Area may form part of multiple MBSFN Areas, each characterized by dierent
transmitted content and participating set of cells.

Each eNodeB must send the same content at the same time & frequency.
UE receives signal from several eNodeBs, each signal being delayed with reduced amplitude.

This spread creates ISI. A guard interval is added to the signal: As long as the signals spread is shorter than the
guard interval, an ISI-free signal can be reconstructed from these paths.
The synchronization of all eNodeBs guarantees that each MBMS bearer will be ISI free and optimally decoded.
