Application: Lossless multicast and broadcast data transmissions in handovers (Patent ID: US20240214876A1)
The patent filed by ZTE Corp. discloses methods, apparatus, and systems for enabling lossless Multicast and Broadcast Service (MBS) data transmissions during handovers between network nodes that may or may not support MBS. The wireless communication method involves requesting a switch of an ongoing MBS session from a shared channel to a unicast tunnel with a core network upon determining a handover procedure is needed, followed by initiating the handover procedure to the second access node. The method ensures seamless data transmission during handovers, even when MBS support varies between network nodes.
The claims detail the specific steps involved in the wireless communication method, including determining MBS support of the second access node, transmitting request messages and confirmation messages between nodes, and performing handover procedures. The apparatus described in the patent includes processors configured to request and initiate the necessary switches and handover procedures to ensure continuous MBS data transmission during network node handovers. Overall, the patent aims to optimize MBS data delivery in wireless communication networks by efficiently managing handovers and ensuring uninterrupted service for wireless devices.
