Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) operation with a user equipment (UE) combined HARQ process for the multicast broadcast services (MBS). The UE established a UE combined HARQ process to receive HARQ transmissions for the MBS from both the point-to-mjultipoint (PTM) leg and the point-to-point (PTP) leg. The HARQ transmission received from the PTM leg is from a network PTM HARQ process and the HARQ transmission received from the PTP leg is from a network PTP HARQ process for the UE. The new data indicator (NDI) or the redundant version (RV) value is used to indicate a HARQ retransmission. The network PTM and PTP HARQ processes use the same HARQ ID. HARQ ID information is carried in DCI for the PTM leg and the PTP leg for MBS data packets.
