Method for sending multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) control information and system thereof

The invention discloses a method for sending multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) control information and a system thereof. A network side sends MBMS control information as a form of a medium access control element, wherein the MBMS control information is used to request user equipment (UE) to feed back MBMS service information that the UE is interested in / is receiving. By using the method of the invention, a specific realization method for the network side to send the MBMS control information that a user is hoped to feed back is provided. Therefore, the network side can perform statistics to a corresponding receiving user number of the MBMS service.
