We take advantage of the tree topology of the examined network and we introduce the use of Routing Lists (RLs) in the nodes of the UMTS. The adoption of these lists leads to the decrement of the transmitted packets and the efficient use of network resources during the multicast transmission of the data. We describe in detail the necessary steps for the successful multicast transfer of data. Furthermore, we analyze the handling of special cases such as user mobility scenarios. Especially, the various handover types are examined along with the Serving Radio Network Subsystem (SRNS) relocation procedure10aMBMS10aUMTS1 aBouras, Christos1 aAlexiou, Antonios1 aAntonellis, Dimitrios1 aPapazois, Andreas  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/efficient-multicast-packet-delivery-scheme-umts?language=en
