US 2022/0046591 A1 · MBS SERVICE MULTIPLEXING AND RESOURCE CONFIGURATION

Abstract

An apparatus and system to provide MBS transmissions are described. MBS-specific common resource pools are provided for simultaneously reception of multiple MBS transmissions. The pools have non/partial/fully-overlapped frequency resources in a UE-specific downlink BWP. A control resource set is associated with the pool to allocate the MBS downlink grant as well as the MBS data resource can within the pool. A slot contains multiple mini-slots that contain an MBS transmission, a unicast PDSCH transmission, and a second unicast PDSCH transmission for a different UE or to retransmit the MBS transmission. Control channel search spaces allocate different DCI formats in the slot.

Dependent claims

An apparatus for a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:

processing circuitry configured to:
decode, from a 5th generation NodeB (gNB), a configuration for each of a plurality of multicast-broadcast service (MBS)-specific common resource pools disposed in a slot, a first MBS-specific common resource pool of the plurality of MBS-specific common resource pools allocated for a first MBS transmission, a second MBS-specific common resource pool of the plurality of MBS-specific common resource pools allocated for a second MBS transmission;
decode, from the gNB, the first MBS transmission in the first MBS-specific common resource pool;
and
decode, from the gNB, the second MBS transmission in the second MBS-specific common resource pool;
and
a memory configured to store the configuration.
