Abstract

Provided is an operating method of a terminal for receiving multicast and broadcast service (MBS) in a wireless communication system. The operating method may include receiving, from a base station, bandwidth part (BWP) configuration information for receiving MBS, the BWP configuration information including at least one of a BWP identity, temporary mobile group identities (TMGIs) of MBS services provided in a BWP, or group-radio network temporary identity (G-RNTI) information, or supplementary downlink (SDL) carrier configuration information for receiving MBS, and receiving first MBS data in a BWP corresponding to the BWP configuration information for receiving MBS or an SDL carrier corresponding to the SDL carrier configuration information for receiving MBS, in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode or an RRC inactive mode, based on the received BWP configuration information or SDL carrier configuration information.

Claims (36)

1. A method, performed by a terminal, for performing multicast and broadcast service (MBS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information associated with a first MBS radio bearer (MRB), wherein the first MRB is associated with a first radio link control (RLC) entity for point to point (PTP) transmission and a second RLC entity for point to multipoint (PTM) transmission; and

receiving, from the base station, MBS data based on the first MRB.

2. A method, performed by a base station for performing multicast and broadcast service (MBS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal configuration information associated with a first MBS radio bearer (MRB), wherein the first MRB is associated with a first radio link control (RLC) entity for point to point (PTP) transmission, and a second RLC entity for point to multipoint (PTM) transmission; and

transmitting, to the terminal, MBS data based on the first MRB.

3. A terminal for performing multicast and broadcast service (MBS) in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

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

receive, from a base station, configuration information associated with a first MBS radio bearer (MRB), wherein the first MRB is associated with a first radio link control (RLC) entity for point to point (PTP) transmission and a second RLC entity for point to multipoint (PTM) transmission, and

receive, from the base station, MBS data based on the first MRB.

4. A base station for performing multicast and broadcast service (MBS) in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

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

transmit, to a terminal, configuration information associated with a first MBS radio bearer (MRB), wherein the first MRB is associated with a first radio link control (RLC) entity for point to point (PTP) transmission, and a second RLC entity for point to multipoint (PTM) transmission, and

transmit, to the terminal, MBS data based on the first MRB.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, configuration information associated with at least one of a second MRB or a third MRB, wherein the second MRB is associated with the first RLC entity for the PTP transmission, and the third MRB is associated with the second RLC entity for the PTM transmission.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

performing a change of an MRB type among the first MRB, the second MRB, and the third MRB.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in case that a configured MRB is associated with an acknowledged mode, AM, RLC entity of the first RLC entity for the PTP transmission, transmitting, to the base station, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) status report.

8. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the terminal, configuration information associated with at least one of a second MRB or a third MRB, wherein the second MRB is associated with the first RLC entity for the PTP transmission, and the third MRB is associated with the second RLC entity for the PTM transmission.

9. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

in case that a configured MRB is associated with an acknowledged mode, AM, RLC entity of the first RLC entity for the PTP transmission, receiving, from the terminal, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) status report.

10. The terminal of claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive, from the base station, configuration information associated with at least one of a second MRB or a third MRB, wherein the second MRB is associated with the first RLC entity for the PTP transmission, and the third MRB is associated with the second RLC entity for the PTM transmission.

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform a change of an MRB type among the first MRB, the second MRB, and the third MRB.

12. The terminal of claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

in case that a configured MRB is associated with an acknowledged mode, AM, RLC entity of the first RLC entity for the PTP transmission, transmit, to the base station, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) status report.

13. The base station of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

transmit, to the terminal, configuration information associated with at least one of a second MRB or a third MRB, wherein the second MRB is associated with the first RLC entity for the PTP transmission, and the third MRB is associated with the second RLC entity for the PTM transmission.

14. The base station of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

in case that a configured MRB is associated with an acknowledged mode, AM, RLC entity of the first RLC entity for the PTP transmission, receive, from the terminal, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) status report.
