MULTICAST/BROADCAST SERVICE ALERT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18044779 Titled 'MULTICAST/BROADCAST SERVICE ALERT'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that support multicast services. A communications device, such as a UE (User Equipment), can transition from an inactive state to a connected state to receive multicast services and provide feedback to the network. The wireless network can use different techniques to trigger the UE to transition to the connected state, such as sending a trigger message indicating the availability of multicast services. The UE then decides whether to transition based on this trigger message.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems may support multicast communications, which may relate to a multicast service (for example, a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS)). A communications device such as a UE may transition from an inactive or idle state to a connected state to receive multicast services and provide feedback to the network. A wireless network may implement different techniques to trigger the UE to transition from the idle or inactive state into the RRC connected state to receive multicast services. For example, the UE may receive a trigger message that indicates that the one or more multicast services are available for use by the UE, and the UE may determine whether to transition to an RRC connected state to receive the multicast services based on the trigger message.
