Uplink LTE RRC message used by the UE to report MBMS interest information to the network.
Lets the network understand which MBMS services or MBMS-related interest are relevant for the UE.
MBMS Interest Indication r11 is the UE telling the LTE network about MBMS service interest.
Call flow position: UE report used to signal MBMS interest back to the network.
Typical state: The network can use the report for later MBMS service handling.
Preconditions:
Next likely message: Later MBMS continuation
Call flow position: UE update sent when MBMS interest changed or needs to be exposed to the network.
Typical state: The report helps the network refine MBMS-related handling.
Preconditions:
Next likely message: Updated MBMS handling
Previous message(s): SystemInformationBlockType13, MBMSCountingRequest-r10
Next message(s): Later MBMS continuation
Security context: Sent as protected connected-mode signaling.

mbms-InterestIndication-r11Carries the UE's MBMS interest information.
Presence: Required
In practice: In practice, compare this field with the original request and with any later release-dependent optional fields so you can see whether the network accepted the same service model the UE asked for.
Likely cause: MBMS interest reporting may be missing, delayed, or outdated.
What to inspect: Check whether MBMS Interest Indication r11 appears and what interest context it carries.
Next step: Treat the issue as MBMS interest signaling rather than MBMS transport failure.
It is the uplink LTE RRC message the UE uses to report MBMS interest information.
