Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and systems for enabling effective reuse of a multicast or shared tunnel for a multicast and broadcast service are described. In one example aspect, a wireless communication method includes receiving, by a network node in a core network, information from a first access node requesting a multicast tunnel associated with a multicast and broadcast service, and transmitting, by the network node to the first access node, information about a shared tunnel associated with the multicast and broadcast service that has been established for a second access node.
