Question: In an MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service) scenario, what is a potential consequence when multiple MBMS UEs (User Equipment) schedule their service initiation or termination procedures at the same time or during a short period?
Option 1: Improved network resource allocation due to synchronized requests
Option 2: Increased risk of network congestion, especially for popular multicast services
Option 3: Enhanced user experience through simultaneous content delivery
Option 4: Reduced battery life for MBMS UEs due to prolonged service announcement reception
Explanation: When numerous MBMS UEs initiate or terminate services simultaneously (e.g., at the start or end of a popular multicast session), it can lead to a surge in network interactions, such as IGMP Join/Leave messages. This synchronized activity may overwhelm the network, resulting in increased latency, packet loss, and overall network congestion, highlighting the importance of managing simultaneous service requests in MBMS architectures.
