Abstract
There is provided an LTE device configured to connect to an LTE network, connect to or provide a LAN, and to provide eMBMS services over the LAN.
Claims22
An LTE device comprising one or more processors and associated memory, the one or more processors provided with instructions configured to
- connect to an LTE network;
- connect to or provide a LAN;
- provide eMBMS services from the LTE network over the LAN;
- the LTE device further configured to utilize a Temporary Mobile Group Identifier that can identify an eMBMS session and reference the eMBMS session and its associated data, wherein the Temporary Mobile Group Identifier is associated with resources containing eMBMS session data;
- the LTE device further comprising a retransmission function configured to receive retransmission requests from a client device and to retransmit eMBMS data to the client device in accordance with the request.
2 more elements
An LTE device comprising one or more processors and associated memory, the one or more processors provided with instructions configured to
- connect to an LTE network;
- connect to or provide a LAN;
- provide eMBMS services from the LTE network over the LAN;
- utilize a Temporary Mobile Group Identifier that can identify an eMBMS session and reference the eMBMS session and its associated data, wherein the Temporary Mobile Group Identifier is associated with resources containing eMBMS session data;
- detect from a client device present on the LAN an indication that eMBMS services are desired and commence provision of eMBMS services to the client device;
- the LTE device further configured to halt provision of eMBMS services to the client device if the client device is not present or if the client device indicates that eMBMS services are no longer required;
- or further configured to halt provision of eMBMS services to the client device if the client device does not provide an indication at a predetermined time interval that eMBMS services are desired.
