METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTICAST COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18012678 Titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTICAST COMMUNICATION'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a method for multicast communication using a terminal device. The method involves receiving multicast and/or unicast traffic from a network node and sending feedback to the network node based on a feedback codebook. The feedback codebook is determined by the type of traffic, with a first codebook for multicast traffic and a second codebook for unicast traffic. This method allows for efficient and flexible implementation of hybrid automatic repeat request feedback for different types of traffic.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for multicast communication. The method which may be performed by a terminal device comprises receiving a multicast traffic and/or a unicast traffic from a network node. The method further comprises transmitting feedback for the multicast traffic and/or the unicast traffic to the network node, according to a feedback codebook. The feedback codebook is based at least in part on a first feedback codebook type for the multicast traffic and/or a second feedback codebook type for the unicast traffic. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, hybrid automatic repeat request feedback may be implemented efficiently and flexibly for different traffics such as multicast and unicast traffics.
