METHODS FOR EFFICIENT CONFIGURATION OF CONTROL CHANNEL TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS SYSTEMS

摘要

An apparatus and method for configuring Enhanced Multicast and Broadcast Service (E-MBS) Scheduling Intervals (MSIs) in a communication system are provided. The method includes selecting a number N of MSIs, and selecting a periodicity of each of the N MSIs. By selecting a number N of MSIs and a periodicity of each of the N MSIs, a communication system is able to more efficiently decode E-MBS data.
