Abstract

Provided are a method and apparatus for security multicast and broadcast service (MBS) communication in a wireless communication system. An operating method of a terminal in a wireless communication system includes receiving configuration information to be applied to MBS data from a base station, and receiving the MBS data based on the configuration information, wherein the configuration information is for configuring an initial value of a state variable corresponding to the MBS data.

Claims (29)

1 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information for a multicast broadcast service (MBS), wherein the configuration information for the MBS includes an initial value of an RX_DELIV; and

applying the initial value of the RX_DELIV to the RX_DELIV for a radio bearer for the MBS,

wherein the RX_DELIV is a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) state variable indicating a count value of a first packet not delivered to an upper layer.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying 0 to the RX_DELIV for a radio bearer for a unicast service.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the RX_DELIV includes a hyper frame number (HFN) and a sequence number (SN).

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to the base station, a configuration complete message indicating that the initial value of the RX_DELIV is applied.

5 . A user equipment (UE) for use in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, configuration information for a multicast broadcast service (MBS), wherein the configuration information for the MBS includes an initial value of an RX_DELIV; and

apply the initial value of the RX_DELIV to the RX_DELIV for a radio bearer for the MBS,

wherein the RX_DELIV is a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) state variable indicating a count value of a first packet not delivered to an upper layer.

6 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to apply 0 to the RX_DELIV for a radio bearer for a unicast service.

7 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the RX_DELIV includes a hyper frame number (HFN) and a sequence number (SN).

8 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to transmit, to the base station, a configuration complete message indicating that the initial value of the RX_DELIV is applied.

9 . A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information for a multicast broadcast service (MBS), wherein the configuration information for the MBS includes an initial value of an RX_DELIV,

wherein the transmission of the initial value of the RX_DELIV causes the UE to apply the initial value of the RX_DELIV to the RX_DELIV for a radio bearer for the MBS, and

wherein the RX_DELIV is a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) state variable indicating a count value of a first packet not delivered to an upper layer.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein 0 is applied to the RX_DELIV for a radio bearer for a unicast service.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the RX_DELIV includes a hyper frame number (HFN) and a sequence number (SN).

12 . A base station for use in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to transmit, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information for a multicast broadcast service (MBS), wherein the configuration information for the MBS includes an initial value of an RX_DELIV,

wherein the transmission of the initial value of the RX_DELIV causes the UE to apply the initial value of the RX_DELIV to the RX_DELIV for a radio bearer for the MBS, and

wherein the RX_DELIV is a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) state variable indicating a count value of a first packet not delivered to an upper layer.

13 . The base station of claim 12 , wherein 0 is applied to the RX_DELIV for a radio bearer for a unicast service.

14 . The base station of claim 12 , wherein the RX_DELIV includes a hyper frame number (HFN) and a sequence number (SN).
