Abstract
The present disclosure describes methods, system, and devices for allocating uplink resource for multimedia broadcast multicast (MBMS) uplink feedback information. The method includes sending, by a radio access network (RAN) to at least one user equipment (UE), at least one multicast traffic channel (MTCH) transmission in a MBMS service. The method also includes allocating, by the RAN for the at least one UE, at least one resource for transmitting MBMS-related uplink feedback information corresponding to the at least one MTCH transmission.
Claims16
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- allocating, by a radio access network (RAN), uplink resource for transmitting Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) uplink feedback information, including:
- sending, by the RAN to a user equipment (UE), at least one MBMS transmission targeting a plurality of UEs;
- and
- configuring, by the RAN to the UE, a plurality of resources containing at least one resource for transmitting MBMS-related uplink feedback information corresponding to the at least one MBMS transmission, wherein:
- the UE determines one resource from the at least one resource based on a number of bits with respect to the MBMS-related uplink feedback information to be transmitted by the UE;
- and
- the UE is allowed to multiplex unicast-related uplink feedback information with the MBMS-related uplink feedback information in one uplink resource associated with the unicast transmission and transmit both the unicast-related uplink feedback information and the MBMS-related uplink feedback information as multiplexed together in the one uplink resource associated with the unicast transmission, the unicast-related uplink feedback information being generated as a feedback to a unicast transmission targeting only the UE.

A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- determining, by a user equipment (UE), uplink resource for transmitting Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) uplink feedback information, including:
- receiving, by the UE, at least one MBMS transmission targeting a plurality of UEs and configuration information, wherein the configuration information is used to configure a plurality of resources for transmitting MBMS-related uplink feedback information corresponding to the at least one MBMS transmission;
- determining, by the UE, one resource from the plurality of resources for transmitting MBMS-related uplink feedback information corresponding to the MBMS transmission, wherein:
- the UE determines the one resource from the plurality of resources based on a number of bits with respect to the MBMS-related uplink feedback information to be transmitted by the UE;
- and
- the UE is allowed to multiplex unicast-related uplink feedback information with the MBMS-related uplink feedback information in one uplink resource associated with the unicast transmission and transmit both the unicast-related uplink feedback information and the MBMS-related uplink feedback information as multiplexed together in the one uplink resource associated with the unicast transmission, the unicast-related uplink feedback information being generated as a feedback to a unicast transmission targeting only the UE.

A User Equipment (UE) comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a processor in communication with the memory, wherein, when the processor executes the instructions, the processor is configured to cause the UE to perform:
- determining uplink resource for Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) uplink feedback information, including:
- receiving at least one MBMS transmission targeting a plurality of UEs and a plurality of resources for transmitting MBMS-related uplink feedback information corresponding to the at least one MBMS transmission;
- and
- determining one resource from the plurality of resources for transmitting MBMS-related uplink feedback information corresponding to the MBMS transmission, wherein:
- the UE determines the one resource from the plurality of resources based on a number of bits with respect to the MBMS-related uplink feedback information to be transmitted by the UE;
- and
- the UE is allowed to multiplex unicast-related uplink feedback information with the MBMS-related uplink feedback information in one uplink resource associated with the unicast transmission and transmit by both the unicast-related uplink feedback information and the MBMS-related uplink feedback information as multiplexed together in the one uplink resource associated with the unicast transmission, the unicast-related uplink feedback information being generated as a feedback to a unicast transmission targeting only the UE.
