MIXED MODE BROADCAST/MULTICAST COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17758238 titled 'MIXED MODE BROADCAST/MULTICAST COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to wireless communication and specifically addresses the issue of negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback messages for broadcast/multicast communication. The application describes a method for a user equipment (UE) to determine when to transmit a NACK feedback message and how to transmit it to a broadcast/multicast control plane function device of a core network via a radio access network (RAN). The UE then receives a retransmission of the broadcast/multicast communication based on the transmitted NACK feedback message.
- User equipment (UE) determines when to transmit a negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback message for broadcast/multicast communication.
- The NACK feedback message is transmitted to a broadcast/multicast control plane function device of a core network via a radio access network (RAN).
- The UE receives a retransmission of the broadcast/multicast communication after transmitting the NACK feedback message.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, including but not limited to:
- Cellular networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) networks
- Broadcasting systems
Problems Solved
The patent application addresses the following problems in wireless communication:
- Efficient handling of negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback messages for broadcast/multicast communication.
- Ensuring reliable delivery of broadcast/multicast communication by requesting retransmissions when necessary.
Benefits
The technology described in the patent application offers several benefits, including:
- Improved reliability of broadcast/multicast communication by enabling the transmission of NACK feedback messages.
- Efficient utilization of network resources by requesting retransmissions only when necessary.
- Enhanced user experience by reducing packet loss and improving overall communication quality.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that a negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback message for a broadcast/multicast communication is to be transmitted. The UE may transmit the NACK feedback message, via a radio access network (RAN), to a broadcast/multicast control plane function device of a core network based at least in part on determining that the NACK feedback message is to be transmitted. The UE may receive a retransmission of the broadcast/multicast communication based at least in part on transmitting the NACK feedback message. Numerous other aspects are provided.
