Multimedia services over mobile networks present several challenges, such as ensuring a reliable delivery of multimedia content,\navoiding undesired service disruptions, or reducing service latency. HTTP adaptive streaming addresses these problems for\nmultimedia unicast services, but it is not efficient from the point of view of radio resource consumption. In Long-Term Evolution\n(LTE) networks, multimedia broadcast services are provided over a common radio channel using a combination of forward error\ncorrection and unicast error recovery techniques at the application level. This paper discusses how to avoid service disruptions\nand reduce service latency for LTE multimedia broadcast services by adding dynamic adaptation capabilities to the unicast error\nrecovery process.The proposed solution provides a seamless mobile multimedia broadcasting without compromising the quality\nof the service perceived by the users.
