    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: An overall architecture to integrate multicast and broadcast service into a general 5G core network. The architecture may provide methods and systems to switch the delivery mode of transmitting messages to User Equipment (UE)s from a unicast mode to a multicast mode. The method includes triggering events at UE, network functions, content provider or RAN node to initiate the switch process; a procedure for UE initiated switch from unicast to multicast; a procedure for network-initiated switch from unicast mode to multicast mode; and a procedure for RAN initiated switch from unicast mode to multicast mode. The architecture may also provide methods to switch the delivery mode from multicast mode to unicast mode. These methods may include triggering events at UE, network functions, content provider or RAN node to initiate the switch process; a procedure for UE initiated switch from multicast mode to unicast mode; a procedure for network-initiated switch from multicast mode to unicast mode; and a procedure for RAN initiated switch from multicast mode to unicast mode.
