MBS Radio Bearer Configuration for PTP and PTM Service Modes

The patent segments the radio bearer configuration into distinct types: point-to-point (PTP) bearers for unicast services and point-to-multipoint (PTM) bearers for multicast broadcast services. This segmentation allows the system to handle different service modes independently, resolving the contradiction by enabling versatile service support through structured bearer types while maintaining manageable configuration complexity through clear differentiation.

The patent implements dynamic bearer configuration where the network can selectively establish PTP or PTM bearers based on service requirements. The system dynamically adapts the bearer type according to whether unicast or multicast services are needed, allowing flexible service mode coverage while keeping the configuration process systematic and controlled through dynamic decision-making rather than static rigid structures.

The patent segments context information management into separate handling for PTP and PTM bearers. By creating distinct management pathways for unicast and multicast services, the system achieves versatile multicast broadcast support while preventing management complexity from becoming unmanageable through structured separation of concerns.

The patent introduces context information as an intermediary layer that mediates between the network and the diverse bearer types. This intermediary structure standardizes the management interface for both PTP and PTM bearers, enabling versatile multicast service support while simplifying complexity through a unified management framework that handles different bearer types through consistent procedures.

The patent creates a universal bearer configuration framework that handles both PTP and PTM bearers through standardized procedures. The system achieves multi-functionality by designing configuration, management, and release mechanisms that work for both bearer types, thereby improving service scenario coverage while controlling complexity through universal design principles rather than separate specialized systems.

The patent merges the configuration and management of PTP and PTM bearers into a unified system architecture. By combining the handling of different bearer types under common protocols and procedures, the system achieves comprehensive service scenario coverage while reducing overall complexity through consolidation and standardization rather than maintaining separate independent systems.
