APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MULTICAST/BROADCAST SERVICE IN A BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and method for providing an MBS in a BWA system are provided. In a BS for providing an MBS in a BWA system, upon receipt of MBS data to be serviced, an MBS data processor separates the MBS data on a PDU basis, a logical ID processor checks an MCID and a contents ID of the MBS data, and a PDU generator generates a PDU out of the MBS data separated on a PDU basis using the MCID and the contents ID, so that a MAC layer can check the contents ID.
