Original Abstract Submitted

A method in one or more nodes of a radio access network (RAN), for managing multicast and/or broadcast services (MBS) communications, includes transmitting to a user device an MBS radio bearer (MRB) configuration associated with an MRB, implementing a shared packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity to transmit first MB S packets to the user device via the MRB and according to the MRB configuration and a first lower layer configuration, and after transmitting the first MB S packets, implementing the shared PDCP entity to transmit second MB S packets to the user device via the MRB and according to a second lower layer configuration and the MRB configuration. The first and second lower layer configurations being different ones of a multicast configuration and a unicast configuration.
