Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Procedures for Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Services - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18250356 titled 'Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Procedures for Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Services

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method used in a user equipment (UE) for managing the reception of multicast and/or broadcast services (MBS). The method involves transmitting an MBS interest indication to a base station, indicating the user's interest in a specific MBS service. The UE then receives an acknowledgement from the base station, confirming the receipt of the MBS interest indication. Once the acknowledgement is received, the UE starts providing feedback related to the MBS service.

  • The method allows a user equipment to indicate its interest in a specific multicast and/or broadcast service to a base station.
  • The base station acknowledges the user equipment's interest in the MBS service.
  • The user equipment can then provide feedback related to the MBS service.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be used in mobile devices to manage the reception of multicast and/or broadcast services, such as streaming video or audio content.
  • It can be applied in scenarios where multiple users are interested in the same MBS service, allowing the base station to efficiently manage the distribution of the service.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of efficiently managing the reception of multicast and/or broadcast services in a user equipment.
  • It allows the user equipment to indicate its interest in a specific MBS service, ensuring that the desired content is received.
  • The acknowledgement from the base station confirms the successful transmission of the interest indication, providing assurance to the user equipment.

Benefits

  • Users can easily indicate their interest in specific multicast and/or broadcast services, ensuring they receive the desired content.
  • The method improves the efficiency of managing MBS services, allowing the base station to allocate resources effectively.
  • The acknowledgement from the base station provides feedback to the user equipment, ensuring a reliable communication process.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method in a user equipment (UE) for managing reception of multicast and/or broadcast services (MBS) includes transmitting () an MBS interest indication to a base station corresponding to an MBS service of interest. The method also includes receiving () an acknowledgement of the MBS interest indication from the base station. Further, the method includes starting () to provide feedback related to the MBS service in response to receiving the acknowledgement.
