As per my knowledge of MBMS, one eNodEB can be controlled by only one MCE since radio resources configuration across the cells (cells under the same MBSFN area) should be same and it is possible only if one MCE controls the an eNodeBs.

There is a choice either one or four consecutive radio frames can be used for MBMS transmission. I want to know the parameter on which number of radio frames come out ?

LTE: Is it necessary all the cells belong to same MBSFN area should have same amount multicast/broadcast resources ?

Within the LTE network, different eNodeBs can be deployed with the different bandwidth configuration. Few eNodeBs may be deployed with 10 MHz and few with the 20 MHz. Now I have two questions here.
1. Is it necessary all the cells should have same bandwidth deployment ? If answer is yes then ignore the second question.
2. If cells of the same MBSFN area can have different deployment bandwidth then they would have different amount of multicast resources and what if when a cell exhaust with the allocated MBMS radio resources ? What corrective action MCE should take in this case when few cells of a MBSFN area does not enough room to accommodate new services and other set of cells within the same MBSFN area can serve ?
