METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INTEGRATION OF 3GPP MULTICAST/BROADCAST SERVICES FOR 5G AND IEEE 802.11bc

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for delivering 5G multicast/broadcast services to WTRUs in a 3GPP network via non-3GPP access, such as 802.11bc Enhanced Broadcast Service networks, are described. One method may include receiving, from the 3GPP network, first information indicating a service announcement or a protocol data unit (PDU) session request associated with 3GPP multicast/broadcast services (MBS. The first information may include MBS session information. The method may further include determining, based on the MBS session information, a MBS session context in the wireless LAN. The MBS session context may include second information used for transmission of the MBS over the wireless LAN. The method may then include transmitting third information indicating the MBS session context to the wireless LAN for distribution to Wireless Transmit Units (WTRUs) in the wireless LAN.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
