Abstract

A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a UE. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a first signaling, wherein the first signaling includes an identity of a broadcast or multicast service. The method further includes receiving a second signaling, wherein the second signaling indicates an association between a numerology and an information of the broadcast or multicast service. The method also includes using the numerology to receive the broadcast or multicast service.

Claims (33)

1. A method of a UE (User Equipment) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

receiving by the UE a first of multiple signalings from a network, including an identification of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service of multiple broadcast or multicast services provided by the network, wherein at least two of the multiple broadcast or multicast services are each associated with different sub-carrier spacing and the V2X service is associated with one of the different sub-carrier spacing, wherein the multiple broadcast or multicast services provided by the network include at least the V2X service and a second service that is not V2X;

receiving by the UE a second of the multiple signalings from the network that indicates the one of the different sub-carrier spacing that is associated with the V2X service; and

acquiring by the UE the V2X service from the network utilizing the sub-carrier spacing associated with the V2X service based on the second of the multiple signalings.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first of the multiple signalings is a user service description.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification is a Temporary Mobile Group Identity (TMGI).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second of the multiple signals, signalings indicates an association between the sub-carrier spacing associated with the V2X service and at least one of an identity of QoS (Quality of Service) associated with the V2X service or a group identity associated with the V2X service.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second of the multiple signalings indicates an association between the sub-carrier spacing associated with the V2X service and at least one of a bandwidth part associated with the V2X service or the identification of the V2X service.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second of the multiple signalings indicates an association between the sub-carrier spacing associated with the V2X service and at least one of a MCH (Multicast Channel) associated with the V2X service, a MBSFN (Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network) area associated with the V2X service, or a MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service) service area associated with the V2X service.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second of the multiple signalings is a system information for broadcast or multicast or is received via Multicast Control Channel.

8. A User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a control circuit;

a processor installed in the control circuit; and

a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to:

receive a first of multiple signalings from a network, including an identification of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service of multiple broadcast or multicast services provided by the network, wherein at least two of the multiple broadcast or multicast services are each associated with different sub-carrier spacing and the V2X service is associated with one of the different sub-carrier spacing, wherein the multiple broadcast or multicast services provided by the network include at least the V2X service and a second service that is not V2X;

receive a second of the multiple signalings from the network that indicates the one of the different sub-carrier spacing, that is associated with the V2X service; and

acquire the V2X service from the network utilizing the sub-carrier spacing associated with the V2X service based on the second of the multiple signalings.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the first of the multiple signalings is a user service description.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the identification is a Temporary Mobile Group Identity (TMGI).

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the second of the multiple signalings indicates an association between the sub-carrier spacing associated with the V2X service and at least one of an identity of QoS (Quality of Service) associated with the V2X service or a group identity associated with the V2X service.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the second of the multiple signalings indicates an association between the sub-carrier spacing associated with the V2X service and at least one of a bandwidth part associated with the particular V2X service or the identification of the V2X service.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the second of the multiple signalings indicates an association between the sub-carrier spacing associated with the V2X service and at least one of a MCH (Multicast Channel) associated with the V2X service, a MBSFN (Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network) area associated with the V2X service, or a MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service) service area associated with the V2X service.

14. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the second of the multiple signalings is a system information for broadcast or multicast or is received via Multicast Control Channel.

15. A method of a network in a wireless communication system, comprising:

transmitting a first of multiple signalings, including an identification of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service of multiple broadcast or multicast services provided by the network, wherein at least two of the multiple broadcast or multicast services are each associated with different sub-carrier spacing and the V2X service is associated with one of the different sub-carrier spacing, wherein the multiple broadcast or multicast services provided by the network include at least the V2X service and a second service that is not V2X;

transmitting a second of the multiple signalings that indicates the one of the different sub-carrier spacing that is associated with the V2X service; and

transmitting the V2X service utilizing the sub-carrier spacing associated with the V2X service based on the second of the multiple signalings.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first of the multiple signalings is a user service description.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the identification is a Temporary Mobile Group Identity (TMGI).

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the second of the multiple signalings indicates an association between the sub-carrier spacing associated with the V2X service and at least one of an identity of QoS (Quality of Service) associated with the V2X service, a group identity associated with the V2X service, a bandwidth part associated with the V2X service, or the identification of the V2X service.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the second of the multiple signalings indicates an association between the sub-carrier spacing associated with the V2X service and at least one of a MCH (Multicast Channel) associated with the V2X service, a MBSFN (Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network) area associated with the V2X service, or a MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service) service area associated with the V2X service.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the second of the multiple signalings is a system information for broadcast or multicast or is transmitted via Multicast Control Channel.
