A communication system is provided that dynamically allocates power to a
Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (an MBMS service). In response to
determining to establish a Point-to-Multipoint (PTM) communication
channel to multiple user equipment (UEs), the communication service
assigns the PTM communication channel to the MBMS service, determines a
power requirement associated with each user equipment (UE) of the
multiple UEs based on a handover quality measurement associated with the
UE to produce multiple power requirements, and allocates a power level to
the PTM communication channel based on the multiple power requirements.
The communication system further dynamically adjusts the allocated power
based on a handover quality measurement associated with a UE of the
multiple UEs that is received during provision of the MBMS service.
