CONFIGURATION OF MULTIPLE SETS OF FREQUENCY RESOURCES FOR BROADCAST AND MULTICAST COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17547622 titled 'CONFIGURATION OF MULTIPLE SETS OF FREQUENCY RESOURCES FOR BROADCAST AND MULTICAST COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- A base station transmits system information that indicates multiple multicast-broadcast network areas.
- The base station also provides configuration information for each multicast-broadcast network area, which includes the location of multicast scheduling information (MSI).
- The MSI includes information about frequency resources on which to receive broadcast or multicast services.
- The MSI specifies the specific services provided in each multicast-broadcast network area through different frequency resources.
- The base station can schedule broadcast or multicast services across frequency resources using semi-persistent scheduling.
- The MSI can also indicate a redundancy version configuration, which includes time and frequency patterns for combined redundancy version broadcast transmissions.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems
- Broadcasting and multicast services
- Base stations and network infrastructure
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient allocation of frequency resources for broadcast and multicast services
- Improved scheduling of services across frequency resources
- Enhanced redundancy version configuration for broadcast transmissions
Benefits of this technology:
- Optimal utilization of frequency resources
- Improved reliability and quality of broadcast and multicast services
- Efficient management of network resources
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a base station may transmit system information indicating multiple multicast-broadcast network areas, and may further provide configuration information for each multicast-broadcast network area indicating a location of multicast scheduling information (MSI). The MSI may include an indication of frequency resources on which to receive broadcast or multicast services. The MSI may indicate specific services for an multicast-broadcast network area that are provided via the different frequency resources (for example, different cells, carriers, channels, among other examples). In some examples, the base station may schedule broadcast or multicast services across frequency resources via semi-persistent scheduling. The MSI may indicate a redundancy version configuration (for example, time and frequency patterns for combined redundancy version broadcast transmissions).
