Multicast Broadcast Service for 5G New Radio

Abstract:

Embodiments of a Multicast Broadcast Service (MBS) for 5G New Radio (NR). In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives first data from a network via unicast, receives first information from the network, the first information indicating the availability of a multicast service, transmits second information to the network and receives second data from the network via multicast in response to transmitting the second information to the network. In another aspect, a UE receives first information from the network, the first information indicating the availability of a multicast service, receives first data from the network via a multicast session and receives second data from the network via a unicast packet data unit (PDU) session.
