APPARATUS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS PROVIDING RESOURCE ALLOCATION ADAPTATION FOR POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes: obtaining feedback from at least one mobile terminal in a communication system (501); determining, based on the obtained feedback, whether at least one of a downlink shared channel transmit power and a transmission pattern should be modified, wherein the downlink shared channel is used to communicate with a plurality of users (502); and in response to determining that at least one of the downlink shared channel transmit power and the transmission pattern should be modified, modifying at least one of the downlink shared channel transmit power and the transmission pattern (503). In a further exemplary embodiment, the method further includes: transmitting a communication to the plurality of users via the downlink shared channel, wherein the communication is a multimedia broadcast/multicast service transmission and the downlink shared channel is a high speed downlink shared channel or a physical downlink shared channel.
