Method and apparatus for transmitting video services

The present invention proposes a method and apparatus for transmitting video services. In the broadcast multicast service center, there is proposed a method for managing video service transmission, wherein, the video service is encoded as a base encoded layer data and enhancement layer encoded data, the encoded base layer data and the enhancement layer data are encoded using different multimedia broadcast multicast service bearer for transmission, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining information of the dependent enhancement layer encoded data, information indicating the dependency encoded enhancement layer data coding layer data depends; and the MBMS service gateway transmitting multimedia broadcast multicast service session start request signaling of multimedia broadcast multicast service session start request signaling for requesting the enhancement layer encoded data to establish a multimedia broadcast multicast service bearer, the multimedia broadcast multicast service session start request signaling including the dependency information.
