MONITORING MULTICAST BROADCAST CONTROL INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18156831 titled 'MONITORING MULTICAST BROADCAST CONTROL INFORMATION

Abstract Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a wireless communication system where a user equipment (UE) receives a notification about changes to multicast broadcast (MB) control information associated with an MB service that the UE is subscribed to. The MB control information is included in an MB control channel (MBCCH) scheduled by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) communication addressed to an MB radio network temporary identifier (MB-RNTI). The UE then monitors the MBCCH resources to receive updated MB control information based on the notification.

• User equipment (UE) receives a notification about changes to multicast broadcast (MB) control information.
• The MB control information is included in an MB control channel (MBCCH) scheduled by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) communication.
• The notification is addressed to an MB radio network temporary identifier (MB-RNTI).
• The UE monitors the MBCCH resources to receive updated MB control information based on the notification.

Potential Applications

• Wireless communication systems
• Multicast broadcast services

Problems Solved

• Efficiently notifying user equipment (UE) about changes to multicast broadcast (MB) control information.
• Ensuring that UE receives updated MB control information.

Benefits

• Improved communication efficiency in wireless networks.
• Seamless delivery of updated MB control information to UE.

Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a notification of a change to multicast broadcast (MB) control information associated with at least one MB service to which the UE is subscribed, the MB control information being included in an MB control channel (MBCCH) scheduled by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) communication addressed to an MB radio network temporary identifier (MB-RNTI); and monitor one or more resources of the MBCCH to receive updated MB control information based at least in part on receiving the notification of the change to the MB control information. Numerous other aspects are provided.
