COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTICAST/BROADCAST SERVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18446672 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTICAST/BROADCAST SERVICE

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes an application that enables communication for multicast/broadcast services.

  • The application allows a network device to obtain the reference location information of a terminal, which represents the terminal's reference location.
  • If the terminal's reference location is within the service area of a multicast/broadcast service, the application triggers the target access network device to allocate a data resource for transmitting the service to the terminal.
  • If the terminal's reference location is outside the service area, the application triggers the target access network device not to allocate a data resource for transmitting the service to the terminal.
  • This method allows for dynamic and flexible interaction between the network device and the access network device, effectively saving network resources.
  • The application provides a more efficient way to allocate data resources for multicast/broadcast services based on the terminal's location.


Original Abstract Submitted

This application provides a communication method and apparatus for a multicast/broadcast service. The method is performed by a network device and including: obtaining reference location information of a terminal representing a reference location of the terminal. When the reference location of the terminal is inside a service area of a first multicast/broadcast service, triggering a target access network device of the terminal to allocate, to the terminal, a data resource for transmitting the first multicast/broadcast service. When the reference location of the terminal is outside the service area, triggering the target access network device not to allocate, to the terminal, a data resource for transmitting the first multicast/broadcast service. According to the method, when the terminal moves into the service area or moves out of the service area, the network device can dynamically and flexibly interact with an access network device, thereby effectively saving network resources.
