Abstract
A UE receives a multicast channel scheduling information (MSI) medium access control-control element (MAC-CE) scheduling multiple multicast traffic channel (MTCH) transmissions in a multicast channel (MCH) scheduling period. The UE receives one or more of the multiple MTCH transmissions based on scheduling information in the MSI MAC-CE and a scheduling delay between the MSI MAC-CE and a first MTCH transmission of the multiple MTCH transmissions that is based at least in part on a threshold time gap.
Claims20
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the at least one memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
- receive a multicast channel scheduling information (MSI) medium access control-control element (MAC-CE) scheduling multiple multicast traffic channel (MTCH) transmissions in a multicast channel (MCH) scheduling period;
- and
- receive one or more of the multiple MTCH transmissions based on scheduling information in the MSI MAC-CE and a scheduling delay between the MSI MAC-CE and a first MTCH transmission of the multiple MTCH transmissions that is based at least in part on a threshold time gap.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a network node, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the at least one memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
- transmit a multicast channel scheduling information (MSI) medium access control-control element (MAC-CE) scheduling multiple multicast traffic channel (MTCH) transmissions in a multicast channel (MCH) scheduling period;
- and
- transmit the multiple MTCH transmissions based on scheduling information in the MSI MAC-CE and a scheduling delay between the MSI MAC-CE and a first MTCH transmission of the multiple MTCH transmissions that is based at least in part on a threshold time gap.
