Multicast Service Notification Handling for Terminal Reception
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems fail to notify terminals whether a multicast service configuration changes or ends, leading to poor reception effects.
Innovation Solution
A notification processing method and apparatus that allow terminals to receive first notifications about changes in multicast service configurations or the end of multicast services, enabling appropriate response operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal continues to receive multicast service without notification, then the terminal maintains continuous reception capability, but the terminal cannot determine configuration changes or service ends leading to poor reception effect
Solution Approach 1:
The network side device sends notification information to the terminal to provide feedback about multicast service configuration changes or service ends. This feedback mechanism allows the terminal to be informed of status changes and adjust its reception accordingly, resolving the information loss problem while maintaining reliable reception.
Solution Approach 2:
The network side device sends notification information to the terminal in advance before configuration changes take effect or before service ends. This preliminary notification allows the terminal to prepare for changes or stop reception appropriately, improving reception effectiveness by preventing the terminal from continuing to receive with outdated configuration.
2Reliability
If the terminal monitors for multicast service status, then the terminal can detect changes, but the terminal increases power consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The network side device acts as an intermediary that actively sends notification information to the terminal about multicast service status changes. Instead of the terminal continuously monitoring and consuming power, the network intermediary pushes notifications only when changes occur, reducing terminal power consumption while maintaining reliable service status detection.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification mechanism operates periodically or event-driven rather than requiring continuous terminal monitoring. The network side device sends notifications at specific intervals or when changes occur, allowing the terminal to enter low-power states between notifications, thus reducing overall power consumption while maintaining detection capability.

AI summary
A notification processing method and a terminal are provided. The notification processing method includes: receiving, by the terminal, a first notification. The first notification is used to notify at least one of that a configuration of a multicast service changes or the multicast service ends. That the multicast service ends includes at least one of the following: sending of the multicast service ends or receiving of the multicast service ends. The multicast service is a multicast service that is being received by the terminal. The notification processing method further includes executing, by the terminal, a response operation of the first notification.
