Abstract

A method and apparatus for broadcast multicast service in an ultra mobile broadband network is provided. An apparatus is provided which is operable in a wireless communication system to provide a means for mapping broadcast flows to a broadcast multicast logical channel and transmitting the broadcast multicast logic channel on an aggregation of broadcast physical channels, where each of the aggregation of the broadcast physical channels is uniquely characterized. Radio configurations to support the ultra mobile broadband network are also provided.

Claims

1. An apparatus operable in wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

means for mapping broadcast flows to a BCMCS logic channel; and

means for transmitting said BCMCS logic channel on an aggregation of broadcast physical channels, each of the aggregation of broadcast physical channels being uniquely characterized by a SIMT.

2. A method used in wireless communication system, the method comprising:

mapping broadcast flows to a BCMCS logic channel; and

transmitting said BCMCS logic channel on an aggregation of broadcast physical channels, each of the aggregation of broadcast physical channels being uniquely characterized by a SIMT.

3. An electronic device configured to execute the method of claim 2.

4. A machine-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations including:

mapping broadcast flows to a BCMCS logic channel; and

transmitting said BCMCS logic channel on an aggregation of broadcast physical channels, each of the aggregation of broadcast physical channels being uniquely characterized by a SIMT.

5. An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a processor, configured to map broadcast flows to a BCMCS logic channel, and to transmit said BCMCS logic channel on an aggregation of broadcast physical channels, each of the aggregation of broadcast physical channels being uniquely characterized by a SIMT; and

a memory coupled to the processor for storing data.
