Abstract  Abstract

The present invention provides a method for notifying Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe configuration which comprises the following steps: a first node sends its MBSFN subframe configuration via an X2 interface to a second node with which the first node is connected; the first node receives the MBSFN subframe configuration of the second node as a feedback. According to the invention a serving cell can obtain the MBSFN subframe configurations of the neighboring cells and/or RNs so that rational utilization of resources is achieved according to the configurations. Therefore interference between cells is reduced and system capacity and efficiency are improved.
