A telecommunication network (TN) comprises a radio access network (2)
defining
cells in which user equipments (7) are localized and a core network (1)
linked to the radio access network and adapted to establish a multimedia broadcast
multicast context for the user equipments (7) located in the cells. It also
comprises i) connecting means (16) arranged, when receiving a first request
for broadcasting data to user equipments (7) localized in a broadcast area
defined by at least one of the cells, to establish a first connection with the
radio access network (2), and ii) requesting means (17) arranged,
when the first connection is established, to send a second request to the core
network (1), via the radio access network (2), in order the core
network (1) establishes a second connection with the radio access network
(2) for signalling with it, and, when the second connection is established,
to send a third request to the core network (1), via the first and second
connections, for establishment of a MBMS context, in order to activate a broadcast
service for broadcasting the data to the user equipments (7) localized in
the broadcast area.
