Abstract
An apparatus and method for providing a Multicast and Broadcast Service (MBS) in a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) system are provided. The apparatus includes a fragmentation unit, a Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) packet generator, and a communication unit. The fragmentation unit fragmentizes MBS traffic received from a network for synchronization. The GRE packet generator generates a GRE packet with each of segments from the fragmentation unit. The communication unit transmits the GRE packet from the GRE packet generator to a Base Station (BS) in consideration of a packet period.
