Multicast and broadcast services reliability indication

Abstract

Reliability monitoring and indication may be provided for multicast and broadcast services (MBS). A WTRU may receive an MBS configuration for an INACTIVE state (e.g., suspend PTP and maintain PTM for split MRB). MBS configuration and suspend configuration may be associated with different areas (e.g. MBS area versus RAN area). Configurations may indicate reliability indication triggers (e.g., polling, event-based, periodic), a reliability metric configuration, and/or a reliability indication configuration. A WTRU (e.g., in INACTIVE) may receive an MBS transmission (e.g., on MRB(s)), receive an MCCH (e.g., with trigger(s) for reliability indication during MCCH modification period), determine reliability metric(s) associated with MBS TB reception, monitor reliability metric(s) during time interval(s) for MCCH modification period(s), select RA resources (e.g., per mapping between resources and reliability metric value/range), indicate a reliability metric (e.g., transmit reliability indication via selected preamble and RO), and/or monitor RAR format responsive to the reliability indication transmission.
