Abstract
Methods and apparatus for multicast services are provided. In a method a resource message is received on a control channel indicating a first search space type and assistance information for the first search space type. It is determined based on the assistance information that a second search space type is to be applied for monitoring of a multicast search space. Monitoring of the multicast search space can be provided according to the second search space type.

1-27. (canceled)
A method, comprising:
- receiving on a control channel a resource message indicating a first search space type and assistance information for the first search space type,
- determining based on the assistance information that a second search space type is to be applied for monitoring of a multicast search space, and
- monitoring the multicast search space according to the second search space type.
A method, comprising:
- sending to a communication device on a control channel a resource message for configuring radio resource reception, the resource message indicating a first search space type and assistance information for the first search space type for enabling the communication device to determine that a second search space type is to be applied for monitoring of a multicast search space, and
- multicasting data to the communication device on the radio resource.
An apparatus, comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive on a control channel a resource message indicating a first search space type and assistance information for the first search space type,
- determine based on the assistance information that a second search space type is to be applied for monitoring of a multicast search space, and
- monitor the multicast search space according to the second search space type.
An apparatus, comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- send to a communication device on a control channel a resource message for configuring radio resource reception, the resource message indicating a first search space type and assistance information for the first search space type for enabling the communication device to determine that a second search space type is to be applied for monitoring of a multicast search space, and
- multicast data to the communication device on the radio resource.
A non-transitory computer readable media comprising program instructions that, when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- receiving on a control channel a resource message indicating a first search space type and assistance information for the first search space type,
- determining based on the assistance information that a second search space type is to be applied for monitoring of a multicast search space, and
- monitoring the multicast search space according to the second search space type.
A non-transitory computer readable media comprising program instructions that, when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- sending to a communication device on a control channel a resource message for configuring radio resource reception, the resource message indicating a first search space type and assistance information for the first search space type for enabling the communication device to determine that a second search space type is to be applied for monitoring of a multicast search space, and
- multicasting data to the communication device on the radio resource.
