Description

METHOD OF DETERMINING APPLICABLE AREA OF PTM CONFIGURATION FOR UE RECEIVING MULTICAST IN RRC INACTIVE STATE AND APPARATUSES
BACKGROUND OF DISCLOSURE
1. Field of the Disclosure
The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication systems, and more particularly, to wireless communication methods for multicast/broadcast service (MBS) and apparatuses, for example, particularly to an MBS system.
2. Description of the Related Art
To enable resource-efficient delivery of multicast/broadcast services, 3GPP has developed NR broadcast/multicast in Rel-17 according to a work item (WID) , aiming to enable general MBS services over 5GS. The use cases identified that could benefit from this feature include public safety and mission critical, V2X applications, IPTV, live video, software delivery over wireless and IoT applications, etc. Two delivery modes have been agreed for Rel-17 MBS with delivery mode 1 (only for multicast) capable of addressing higher QoS services and delivery mode 2 (only for broadcast) focusing on lower QoS services. Given that Rel-17 MBS already provide the basic function to support MBS services, the general main goal for Rel-18 should be to enable better deployment of MBS, such as improvement of resource efficiency and capacity based on Rel-17 MBS.
In Rel-17, RAN only specifies multicast for UEs in RRC_CONNECTED state, which may not fully fulfil the requirements of, e.g., mission critical services, especially for cells with a large number of UEs according to TR 23.774. Also, to always keep UEs in RRC_CONNECTED state is not power efficient. It is therefore important to support multicast for UEs in RRC_INACTIVE.
Therefore, there is a need for methods of determining an applicable area of a point-to-multipoint (PTM) configuration for a user equipment (UE) receiving multicast in an RRC inactive state and apparatuses.

In RANP#94 meeting, the following R18 WID has been approved. This work item is to further enhance the NR Multicast/Broadcast functions based on Rel-17 MBS. The objectives for Rel-18 include: 1. Specify support of multicast reception by UEs in RRC_INACTIVE state [RAN2, RAN3] . Specify PTM configuration for UEs receiving multicast in RRC_INACTIVE state [RAN2] . Study the impact of mobility and state transition for UEs receiving multicast in RRC_INACTIVE [RAN2, RAN3] . 2. Specify Uu signaling enhancements to allow a UE to use shared processing for MBS broadcast and unicast reception, i.e., including UE capability and related assistance information reporting regarding simultaneous unicast reception in RRC_CONNECTED and MBS broadcast reception from the same or different operators [RAN2] . 3. Study and if necessary, specify enhancements to improve the resource efficiency for MBS reception in RAN sharing scenarios [RAN3] . Note: collaboration with SA2 is expected in due course for the above objectives.
From this, we can see that the PTM configurations acquired by a UE may apply to a certain area (i.e., a set of cells instead of a single cell) . That is, this (certain) area means that the PTM configuration of a certain multicast service in this area is the same. In this disclosure, we call it M area of the PTM configurations for UE in RRC_INACTIVE.
In this disclosure, we are going to discuss how to configure M area to UEs in RRC_INACTIVE.
FIG. 1 illustrates that, in some embodiments, one or more user equipments (UEs) 10 and a base station (e.g., gNB) 20 for communication in a communication network system 40 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure are provided. The communication network system 40 includes the one or more UEs 10 and the base station 20. The one or more UEs 10 may include a memory 12, a transceiver 13, and a processor 11 coupled to the memory 12 and the transceiver 13. The base station 20 may include a memory 22, a transceiver 23, and a processor 21 coupled to the memory 22 and the transceiver 23. The  processor  11 or 21 may be configured to implement proposed functions, procedures and/or methods described in this description. Layers of radio interface protocol may be implemented in the  processor  11 or 21. The  memory  12 or 22 is operatively coupled with the  processor  11 or 21 and stores a variety of information to operate the  processor  11 or 21. The  transceiver  13 or 23 is operatively coupled with the  processor  11 or 21, and the  transceiver  13 or 23 transmits and/or receives a radio signal.
The  processor  11 or 21 may include application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) , other chipset, logic circuit and/or data processing device. The  memory  12 or 22 may include read-only memory (ROM) , random access memory (RAM) , flash memory, memory card, storage medium and/or other storage device. The  transceiver  13 or 23 may include baseband circuitry to process radio frequency signals. When the embodiments are implemented in software, the techniques described herein can be implemented with modules (e.g., procedures, functions, and so on) that perform the functions described herein. The modules can be stored in the  memory  12 or 22 and executed by the  processor  11 or 21. The  memory  12 or 22 can be implemented within the  processor  11 or 21 or external to the  processor  11 or 21 in which case those can be communicatively coupled to the  processor  11 or 21 via various means as is known in the art. Further, in some embodiments, the processor 11 is configured to perform the following methods.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a wireless communication method 200 of determining an applicable area of a point-to-multipoint (PTM) configuration for a user equipment (UE) receiving multicast in an RRC inactive state performed by the UE according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the method 200 of determining an applicable area of a point-to-multipoint (PTM) configuration for a user equipment (UE) receiving multicast in an RRC inactive state performed by the UE includes: a step 202, receiving, by the UE, an indication associated with an area and/or the PTM configuration.
In some embodiments, the area means that the PTM configuration acquired by the UE is applicable to the area; the area means that the PTM configuration of a certain multicast service in  the area is the same; and/or the area refers to M area of the PTM configurations for UE in the RRC inactive state. In some embodiments, the indication is transmitted from the base station to the UE, and the indication indicates if a radio access network (RAN) -based notification area (RNA) is used as M area or not. In some embodiments, the RNA is used as the M area. In some embodiments, the indication indicates the RNA is not allowed to be used as the M area, and the PTM configuration is used in a current serving cell. In some embodiments, the M area is controlled/configured by a network. In some embodiments, the UE is informed by the network that which cell or cells belong to the M area. In some embodiments, the M area is controlled/configured by the RAN or a core network (CN) . In some embodiments, if the M area is controlled/configured by the RAN, the indication is transmitted from the RAN/a base station (BS) to the UE. In some embodiments, the indication is transmitted by a radio resource control (RRC) message, a system information block (SIB) , or an MBS control channel (MCCH) .
In some embodiments, the RRC message comprises an RRC release or an RRC resume. In some embodiments, if the M area is controlled by the CN, the indication is transmitted from the CN to the UE. In some embodiments, the indication is transmitted by a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling. In some embodiments, the indication is transmitted from the CN to the base station, and the indication is further transmitted from the base station to the UE by an AS signaling. In some embodiments, the AS signaling is transmitted by an RRC message, a SIB, or a MCCH. In some embodiments, the RRC message comprises an RRC release or an RRC resume.
In some embodiments, the indication is used to inform the UE that whether the M area is enabled or not and/or the PTM configuration is used in a current cell. In some embodiments, an explicit signaling is transmitted from the base station to the UE to inform the UE whether the M area is enabled or not. In some embodiments, no M area related configuration is transmitted from the base station to the UE to implicitly let the UE knows that the M area is disabled and/or the PTM configuration is only valid in the current cell. In some embodiments, the indication is used to inform the UE that if the PTM configuration is applicable to a neighbor cell/neighbor cells.
In some embodiments, the indication is transmitted by the network to the UE to inform the UE that if the PTM configuration is applicable to the neighbor cell/neighbor cells. In some embodiments, the indication comprises a neighbor cell ID/neighbor cell IDs. In some embodiments, the indication is transmitted by the RRC message, the SIB, or the MCCH. In some embodiments, the RRC message comprises an RRC release or an RRC resume. In some embodiments, the indication is transmitted by the base station to the UE to inform the UE that whether the M area is enabled or not and/or the PTM configuration is used in a current cell. In some embodiments, an explicit signaling is transmitted from the base station to the UE to inform the UE whether the M  area is enabled or not. In some embodiments, no M area related configuration is transmitted from the base station to the UE to implicitly let the UE knows that the M area is disabled and/or the PTM configuration is only valid in the current cell.
In some embodiments, whether the RNA is used as the M area or not refers to an RNA solution, the M area indicated by a network refers to a configurable solution, and/or the UE being informed if the PTM configuration is applicable to the neighbor cell refers to a neighbor cell solution.
In some embodiments, whether the RNA solution, the configurable solution, and/or the neighbor cell solution is used or not by the UE is configured by the network. In some embodiments, whether the RNA solution, the configurable solution, and/or the neighbor cell solution is used or not by the UE is explicitly indicated by the network. In some embodiments, whether the RNA solution, the configurable solution, and/or the neighbor cell solution is used or not by the UE is recognized by the UE without explicit indication. In some embodiments, one of the RNA solution, the configurable solution, and the neighbor cell solution is valid if the UE receives the RNA solution and the configurable solution at different times. In some embodiments, the one of the RNA solution, the configurable solution, and the neighbor cell solution is valid according to priorities of the RNA solution, the configurable solution the neighbor cell solution or a latest solution overriding an old one solution.
RNA can be used as M Area (RNA solution)
In LTE systems, the MME is responsible for assigning Tracking Area (TA) to each registered UE. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an RAN-based notification area according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 illustrates that, in 5G, however, there’s a new concept called RAN-based Notification Area (RNA) . When the UE moves out of the RNA cell list, it needs to report its location change similar to the TAU concept in LTE, which is called RAN-based Notification Area Update (RNAU) (triggered via the serving ng-eNB or gNB) . In this context, the Mobility Managed in terms of Paging and RNAU procedures for 5G have some improvement over the MM for LTE to meet the 5G use cases.
The 5GC has introduced a new mechanism for TAU, also called RNAU, for a UE in RRC-INACTIVE state to track its location more precisely with low signaling overhead. Basically, the RRC-INACTIVE state is introduced to reduce the Paging delay and enable lightweight transitions between this new state and RRC-CONNECTED.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an RNA solution according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. RNA could be as used as M area. FIG. 4 illustrates that, in some embodiments, a network (NW) such as a base station (BS) could send an indication to UE that if RNA is used as  M area or not. The indication could be carried by RRC msg (e.g., RRCrelease, RRCresume, etc., ) , or SIB/MCCH. BS can send the indication that RNA is not allowed to be used as M area, the PTM configuration would be just used in the current serving cell.
The innovative aspects of this solution are that: RNA could be as used as M area. BS could send an indication to UE that if RNA is used as M area or not. The indication could be carried by RRC msg (e.g., RRCrelease, RRCresume, etc., ) , or SIB/MCCH.
M Area is indicated by NW (configurable solution)
M area is beneficial for power saving and mobility, especially for the congestion scenario. Therefore, NW might be willing to change the M area dynamically due to the congestion situation change dynamically. RAN is aware of the congestion situation of the cell, therefore RAN can be in control of the M area. Core network (CN) is aware of the registration situation, therefore CN can also play the role.
In the case that RAN can be in control of the M area and sends the indication to inform UE the M area. The indication can be transmitted by RRC signaling, e.g., RRC release, RRC resume…. or SIB/MCCH.
In the case that CN can be in control of the M area and sends the indication to inform UE the M area. CN can transmit indication as a NAS signaling, or CN sends the indication to BS and BS sends the indication to UE via a AS signaling, by RRC signaling, e.g., RRC release, RRC resume…. or SIB/MCCH.
For this solution BS can also send the indication to inform if the M area is enabled, or the PTM configuration would be just used in the current cell. BS sends explicit signaling to inform UE whether M area is enabled or not, or BS doesn’t transmit any M area related configuration to UE which implicitly let UE know that M area is disabled and the PTM configuration is only valid in the current cell.
The innovative aspects of this solution are that: RNA can be in control M area, or CN can be in control of M area. In the case that RAN can be in control of the M area and sends the indication to inform UE the M area. The indication can be transmitted by RRC signaling, e.g., RRC release, RRC resume…. or SIB/MCCH.
In the case that CN can be in control of the M area and sends the indication to inform UE the M area. CN can transmit indication as a NAS signaling, or CN sends the indication to BS and BS sends the indication to UE via a AS signaling, by RRC signaling, e.g. RRC release, RRC resume…. or SIB/MCCH.
BS can also send the indication to inform if the M area is enabled, or the PTM configuration would be just used in the current cell.
BS sends explicit signaling to inform UE whether M area is enabled or not, or BS doesn’t transmit any M area related configuration to UE which implicitly let UE know that M area is disabled and the PTM configuration is only valid in the current cell.
