Method and apparatus for enhancing MBMS/SC-PTM procedures for V2X communication in wireless communication system
A multi-cell/multicast coordination entity (MCE) determines a cluster to which a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) message. The MCE receives a first session start message, which includes a temporary mobile group identity (TMGI), quality of services (QoS) parameters, and a list of cells, from a V2X application server and determines a cluster, which contains group of cells, to which V2X message is to be broadcast, based on the received TMGI, QoS parameters, and list of cells. Upon determining the cluster, the MCE transmits a second session start message, which includes an indication to notify eNodeB (eNB) to wait for scheduling information, to eNBs corresponding to the determined cluster, and transmits MBMS scheduling information to the eNBs. Further, update of the cluster may be triggered from the V2X application server or from the eNB with limited feedback.
1. A method performed by a multi-cell/multicast coordination entity (MCE), in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
determining a cluster, which contains a first group of cells, to which a vehicle to everything (V2X) message is to be broadcast based on a temporary mobile group identity (TMGI), quality of services (QoS) parameters, and a list of cells received from a V2X application server;
transmitting first MBMS scheduling information to a first group of eNodeBs (eNBs), which are related to the first group of the cells;
receiving feedback information from the first group of eNBs;
updating the cluster to contain a second group of cells, based on the received feedback information; and
transmitting second MBMS scheduling information to a second group of eNBs, which are related to the second group of cells,
wherein the feedback information includes a number of received non-acknowledgements (NACKs) or a number of failed transmissions.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback information includes a packet drop rate measured within a period.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the packet drop rate includes a number of dropped service data units (SDUs) or protocol data units (PDUs) in L2 entity over a total number of SDUs or PDUs received from a gateway within the period.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the packet drop rate includes an amount of dropped SDUs or PDUs in L2 entity over a total number of SDUs or PDUs received from a gateway within the period.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback information includes channel state information (CSI) information.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback information is measured per multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) area, per TMGI, per cluster, or per channel.
