This paper presents the investigation of Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service (MBMS) implementation and its development in Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology. Where, it is using all the LTE advantages such as high data rates for Uplink and Downlink, and mobile support. The implementation of MBMS in LTE has improved all the problems occurred in the previous technology and introduce new alternative in broadcasting technology as well. In addition to that, the transmission mode known as Single Frequency Network (SFN) is used to improve the performance of the MBMS signal received by users in indoor and outdoor area. The evaluation on outdoor area concerns from the Base Station (BS) to the cell edge area. The investigation of data rate for certain number of user equipment is carried out at five different frequencies using SEAMCAT simulator. Then, the Signal Interference to Noise Ratio (SINR) is evaluated for three different users, which located at three different locations using MATLAB.
