This disclosure relates to 5G
Multicast-Broadcast Services (MBS):
multiplexing, reliability, and
power saving. This document describes methods and apparatus for
multicast / broadcast MBS services. The embodiments described herein relate to managing multiplexed MBS services, prioritizing MBS-related UL services,
unicast UL services, and SL services, handling HARQ retransmissions on C-RNTI, supporting
PDCP status reporting for MBS services, and procedures for enabling a Radio Transmit / Receive Unit (WTRU) to join an initiated / active
multicast session. In one example, a WTRU may receive multiplexed MBS services via one or more MBS Radio Bearers (MRBs) and / or one or more
unicast Data Radio Bearers (DRBs). The WTRU may be configured with a single Service Data
Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) entity for these MBS services, and service demultiplexing may be performed at the SDAP layer. The WTRU may be configured to demultiplex multiple logical channels across different MBS services, wherein these logical channels are received on the same transport block.
