Question: In an EPS (Evolved Packet System) network, what capability should E-UTRAN have to efficiently deliver MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service) data?
Option 1: Receiving IP Unicast Distribution for individual UEs
Option 2: Receiving IP Multicast Distribution for designated service areas
Option 3: Transmitting only on dedicated bearers for MBMS
Option 4: Ignoring QCI (QoS Class Identifier) for MBMS transmissions
Explanation: Efficient delivery of MBMS data to a large number of users in a designated service area is best achieved through multicast technology, which reduces network load by transmitting data packets only once per network segment, regardless of the number of recipients. Receiving IP Multicast Distribution allows E-UTRAN to support this efficient form of content delivery, making it suitable for MBMS in EPS networks.
