A method and corresponding equipment by which a mobile station (wireless
terminal) is able to undergo handover to another cell of a
telecommunication system, and continue to receive a point-to-multicast
transmission (e.g. MBMS packets) without a delay otherwise caused because
of having to receive a channel (e.g. PBCCH in case of MBMS) conveying
system information in the new cell and so causing the mobile station to
first obtain the bearer information/location for the system information
channel. The method is based on the mobile station using information in a
neighboring cell information message (e.g. the MNCI message in case of an
MBMS session) or other message (possibly specially defined) before
changing to the new cell to determine the bearer information for the
system information channel in the new cell (and also obtaining from the
neighboring cell information the bearer information for receiving the
point-to-multipoint transmission in the new cell).
