    Abstract: A user equipment transmits a request to configure a first network to transmit complementary content associated with multicast or broadcast content received at the user equipment from a second network. In some cases, the request is transmitted in response to the user equipment detecting that a quality of a signal received from the second network is below a threshold. In response to receiving the request, the first network is configured to transmit the complementary content. The complementary content is transmitted from the first network concurrently with transmitting the multicast or broadcast content from the second network. The user equipment combines the complementary content received from the first network with the multicast or broadcast content received from the second network.

    Abstract: Multicast and/or broadcast service may be provided to one or more radio access networks, such as using one or more multicast broadcast gateways and/or one or more nodes, such as coordination function nodes. A multicast broadcast gateway may be connected to a node via a control plane interface. The node may be associated with a base station configured to provide one or more of multicast transmissions or broadcast transmissions to user devices from a broadcast multicast core network. The multicast broadcast gateway may also be connected to the base station via a user plane interface. The multicast broadcast gateway may send, to the node and via the control plane interface, one or more control signals. The multicast broadcast gateway may send, to the base station and via the user plane interface, one or more user signals. The multicast broadcast gateway and/or node may be used to setup, update, and/or stop multicast and/or broadcast sessions.
