The invention relates to an LTE (long term evolution) broadcast multicast repeat method. The method comprises steps as follows: 1, an eNB (evolved Node B) caches data of broadcast multicast, a timer is started, cached data waits for a time T, each set of UE (user equipment) in RRC_IDLE or RRC_CONNECTED performs normal reception operation of broadcast multicast business and performs correct verification on received data packages, processing is not performed if reception is correct, and if an error occurs to reception, NACK (negative acknowledgement) is required to be replied, and the eNB is informed of the repeat data package with an error; 2, if the timer of the eNB is overtime and a repeat request of the UE is not received, the cache data are deleted, and all sets of UE are considered to have received data correctly; 3, after the eNB receives the error data package repeated by the UE, corresponding processing is performed according to user states. According to the method, only when an error occurs to transmission, the UE sends a repeat request to the eNB, and lower system expense is guaranteed while reliable communication of broadcast multicast is guaranteed.
