Coordinated transmission rate and channel scheduling for wireless multicast and broadcast

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives indication of a transmission scheme for decoding multicast/broadcast data transmitted from a sender, receives a reservation signal for the multicast/broadcast data from the sender, determines whether the receiver is capable of decoding the multicast/broadcast data at the indicated transmission scheme, and transmits a confirmation signal for the multicast/broadcast data to the sender after determining that the receiver is capable of decoding the multicast/broadcast data at the indicated transmission scheme. The apparatus receives the multicast/broadcast data according to the transmission scheme after the confirmation signal is transmitted. Alternatively, the apparatus suppresses transmission of the confirmation signal when it is determined that the receiver is not capable of decoding the multicast/broadcast data at the indicated transmission scheme.

主权项

1. A method of wireless communication of a receiver, comprising:
receiving indication of a transmission scheme for decoding multicast/broadcast data transmitted from a sender; receiving a reservation signal for the multicast/broadcast data from the sender; determining whether the receiver is capable of decoding the multicast/broadcast data at the indicated transmission scheme, the determining comprising determining whether a path loss between the sender and the receiver supports the indicated transmission scheme; and transmitting a confirmation signal for the multicast/broadcast data to the sender after determining that the receiver is capable of decoding the multicast/broadcast data at the indicated transmission scheme.
