Abstract

A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises receiving configuration information on a multicast broadcast service (MBS), and receiving, based on the configuration information, MBS data in a radio resource control (RRC)_Connected mode. The MBS data is transmitted to plurality of UEs including the UE for multicast transmission, or to the UE for unicast transmission. A Hybrid Automatic Repeat and request (HARQ) retransmission is applied to a transmission of the MBS data.

Claims (64)

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

receiving configuration information on a multicast broadcast service (MBS); and

receiving, based on the configuration information, the MBS in a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode,

wherein the MBS is transmitted to a plurality of UEs including the UE for multicast transmission, or to the UE for unicast transmission,

wherein a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) retransmission is applied to a transmission of the MBS,

wherein a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) entity is configured for a bearer of the MBS, and

wherein a mapping information between a quality of service (QoS) flow and the bearer of the MBS is configured.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the bearer for the MBS includes a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity.

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the PDCP entity provides a header compression function by using a robust header compression (ROHC) and a PDCP reordering function.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the bearer for the MBS includes at least one of radio link control (RLC) acknowledged mode (AM) or RLC unacknowledged mode (UM) for dynamic switch between the unicast transmission and the multicast transmission.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the MBS is scheduled by using a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) for the unicast transmission, and a MBS-radio network temporary identifier (MBS-RNTI) for the multicast transmission.

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

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information on a multicast broadcast service (MBS); and

transmitting, based on the configuration information, the MBS in a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode,

wherein the MBS is transmitted to a plurality of UEs including the UE for multicast transmission, or to the UE for unicast transmission,

wherein a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) retransmission is applied to a transmission of the MBS,

wherein a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) entity is configured for a bearer of the MBS, and

wherein a mapping information between a quality of service (QoS) flow and the bearer of the MBS is configured.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the bearer for the MBS includes a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity.

8. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the PDCP entity provides a header compression function by using a robust header compression (ROHC) and a PDCP reordering function.

9. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the bearer for the MBS includes at least one of radio link control (RLC) acknowledged mode (AM) or RLC unacknowledged mode (UM) for dynamic switch between the unicast transmission and the multicast transmission.

10. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the MBS is scheduled by using a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) for the unicast transmission, and a MBS-radio network temporary identifier (MBS-RNTI) for the multicast transmission.

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

a transceiver; and

at least one processor operatively connected with the transceiver and configured to:

receive configuration information on a multicast broadcast service (MBS), and

receive, based on the configuration information, the MBS in a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode,

wherein the MBS is transmitted to a plurality of UEs including the UE for multicast transmission, or to the UE for unicast transmission,

wherein a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) retransmission is applied to a transmission of the MBS,

wherein a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) entity is configured for a bearer of the MBS, and

wherein a mapping information between a quality of service (QoS) flow and the bearer of the MBS is configured.

12. The UE of claim 11 ,

wherein the bearer for the MBS includes a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity.

13. The UE of claim 12 ,

wherein the PDCP entity provides a header compression function by using a robust header compression (ROHC) and a PDCP reordering function.

14. The UE of claim 11 ,

wherein the bearer for the MBS includes at least one of radio link control (RLC) acknowledged mode (AM) or RLC unacknowledged mode (UM) for dynamic switch between the unicast transmission and the multicast transmission.

15. The UE of claim 14 ,

wherein the MBS is scheduled by using a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) for the unicast transmission, and a MBS-radio network temporary identifier (MBS-RNTI) for the multicast transmission.

16. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor operatively connected with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information on a multicast broadcast service (MBS), and

transmit, based on the configuration information, the MBS in a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode,

wherein the MBS is transmitted to a plurality of UEs including the UE for multicast transmission, or to the UE for unicast transmission,

wherein a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) retransmission is applied to a transmission of the MBS,

wherein a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) entity is configured for a bearer of the MBS, and

wherein a mapping information between a quality of service (QoS) flow and the bearer of the MBS is configured.

17. The base station of claim 16 ,

wherein the bearer for the MBS includes a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity.

18. The base station of claim 17 ,

wherein the PDCP entity provides a header compression function by using a robust header compression (ROHC) and a PDCP reordering function.

19. The base station of claim 16 ,

wherein the bearer for the MBS includes at least one of radio link control (RLC) acknowledged mode (AM) or RLC unacknowledged mode (UM) for dynamic switch between the unicast transmission and the multicast transmission.

20. The base station of claim 19 ,

wherein the MBS is scheduled by using a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) for the unicast transmission, and a MBS-radio network temporary identifier (MBS-RNTI) for the multicast transmission.
