    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for Multi cast/Broadcast Services (MBS). The embodiments described herein are directed to procedures for managing multiplexed MBS traffic, for prioritization between MBS related UL traffic, unicast UL traffic, and SL traffic, for handling HARQ retransmissions over C-RNTI, to support PDCP Status Reporting for MBS services, and for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) joining already started/activated Multicast Sessions. In one example, a WTRU may receive multiplexed MBS services via one or more MBS radio bearers (MRB) and/or one or more unicast data radio bearers (DRBs). The WTRU may be configured with a single Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) entity for the MBS services, and demultiplexing of traffic may be performed at the SDAP layer. The WTRU may be configured to demultiplex multiple logical channels across different MBS services, where the logical channels are received over the same transport block.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for 5G MBS operation. The proposed method and procedures overcome the limitations that have been observed in LTE and UTRAN MBMS operation, address the unique characteristic of 5G NR, and meet the requirements set out by the envisioned 5G MBS use cases by providing functions including RAN xcasting area concepts that are flexible and dynamic, MBS radio bearer (MRB) types to support MBS services, RAN architectures to support the various MBS radio bearer types, as well as functionality split across the RAN nodes to support these radio bearers, procedures to allow radio bearer selection, monitoring, and switching, and procedures to allow xcast area management.

    Abstract: The present application describes methods and systems for cell selection and reselection. One aspect describes the apparatus including a non-transitory memory including executable instructions for cell selection or cell reselection, which when executed by a processor, performs the instructions of determining one or more new public land mobile networks (PLMNs) have been selected. The processor is also configured to execute the instructions of scanning radio frequencies for one or more cells in one or more of the selected PLMNs. The processor is further configured to execute the instructions of determining the one or more cells to be an acceptable cell, a suitable cell, not an acceptable cell, or not a suitable cell. The processor is even further configured to execute the instructions of determining a state of the apparatus to be a multi-camped normally state, a reduced power any cell selection state, a reduced power camped on any cell, a camped normally state, an any cell selection state, or a camped on any cell state.

    Abstract: Methods are described for enabling 5G MBS operation. The disclosed methods overcome limitations in LTE and UTRAN MBMS operation, address the unique characteristic of 5G NR, and meet requirements of 5G MBS use cases. Disclosed are techniques for MCCH configuration procedures, including change notification procedures; triggers for MCCH acquisition; a RAN paging procedure for triggering counting for UEs in RRC INACTIVE; triggers for an MBS interest indication based on BWP switching; a timescale for scheduling of an MRB transport channel, a signal control channel, and a traffic channel; procedures for scheduling MCCH, including a scheduling configuration, an SCS, and a BWP; procedures for scheduling (P)TrCH; and procedures for scheduling MTCH.
