SINGLE CELL MULTICAST TRAFFIC CHANNEL SCHEDULING BETWEEN TWO BASE STATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243908 titled 'SINGLE CELL MULTICAST TRAFFIC CHANNEL SCHEDULING BETWEEN TWO BASE STATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for configuring and updating broadcast multicast services between two base stations. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The first base station receives configuration parameters from the second base station for a broadcast multicast service.
  • The configuration parameters include a start offset for scheduling and parameters for single cell multicast traffic channel (SC-MTCH) scheduling.
  • Based on these parameters, the first base station determines its own scheduling offset and SC-MTCH scheduling parameters.
  • The first base station sends a configuration update acknowledge message to the second base station, indicating that it has acknowledged the configuration update for the broadcast multicast service.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems that utilize broadcast multicast services, such as cellular networks.
  • It can be used to efficiently configure and update multicast services between different base stations, improving the overall performance and reliability of the network.

Problems Solved:

  • Configuring and updating broadcast multicast services between base stations can be complex and time-consuming.
  • This technology solves the problem of efficiently exchanging configuration parameters and updating the multicast service settings between base stations.

Benefits:

  • The method simplifies the configuration and update process for broadcast multicast services, reducing the time and effort required.
  • It ensures that the multicast service settings are accurately communicated between base stations, improving the overall performance and reliability of the network.
  • The technology allows for seamless integration and coordination between different base stations, enhancing the user experience and network efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

A first base station may receive, from a second base station, configuration parameters employed by the second base station for at least one broadcast multicast service. The configuration parameters may comprise a first scheduling period start offset and first single cell multicast traffic channel (SC-MTCH) scheduling parameters comprising an on-duration timer value for single cell point to multipoint (SCPTM). Based on the configuration parameters, the first base station may determine a second scheduling period start offset and second SC-MTCH scheduling parameters. The first base station may transmit, to the second base station, a configuration update acknowledge message indicating an acknowledgement of a broadcast multicast service configuration update based on the configuration parameters.
