Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network entity, a multicast-broadcast user service description message. The UE may communicate, using a multicast-broadcast service (MBS) transport function (MBSTF) client, with an MBS entity of the network entity, in accordance with information included in the user service description message, wherein the MBS entity is split into a multicast delivery function and a unicast application server. Numerous other aspects are described.
Claims30
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- receive, using a multicast-broadcast service function (MBSF) client, a multicast-broadcast user service announcement from an MBSF entity of a network entity,
- wherein the multicast-broadcast user service announcement comprises a user service description bundle,
- wherein the user service description bundle includes a set of user services, and
- wherein the set of user services includes a set of delivery sessions;
- and
- communicate, using a multicast-broadcast service (MBS) transport function (MBSTF) client, with an MBS entity of the network entity, in accordance with information included in the multicast-broadcast user service announcement, wherein the MBS entity is split into a multicast delivery function and a unicast application server.
A network entity for wireless communication, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- transmit, using a multicast-broadcast service function (MBSF) entity and to a MBSF client of a user equipment (UE), a multicast-broadcast user service announcement,
- wherein the multicast-broadcast user service announcement comprises a user service description bundle,
- wherein the user service description bundle includes a set of user services, and
- wherein the set of user services includes a set of delivery sessions;
- and
- communicate, using a multicast-broadcast service (MBS) entity, with an MBS transport function (MBSTF) client of the UE, in accordance with information included in the multicast-broadcast user service announcement, wherein the MBS entity is split into a multicast delivery function and a unicast application server.
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, using a multicast-broadcast service function (MBSF) client, a multicast-broadcast user service announcement from an MBSF entity of a network entity,
- wherein the multicast-broadcast user service announcement comprises a user service description bundle,
- wherein the user service description bundle includes a set of user services, and
- wherein the set of user services includes a set of delivery sessions;
- and
- communicating, using a multicast-broadcast service (MBS) transport function (MBSTF) client, with an MBS entity of the network entity, in accordance with information included in the multicast-broadcast user service announcement, wherein the MBS entity is split into a multicast delivery function and a unicast application server.
A method of wireless communication performed by a network entity, comprising:
- transmitting, using a multicast-broadcast service function (MBSF) entity and to a MBSF client of a user equipment (UE), a multicast-broadcast user service announcement,
- wherein the multicast-broadcast user service announcement comprises a user service description bundle,
- wherein the user service description bundle includes a set of user services, and
- wherein the set of user services includes a set of delivery sessions;
- and
- communicating, using a multicast-broadcast service (MBS) entity, with an MBS transport function (MBSTF) client of the UE, in accordance with information included in the multicast-broadcast user service announcement, wherein the MBS entity is split into a multicast delivery function and a unicast application server.
