1  Scope  p. 10

The present document specifies architectural enhancements to the 5G system using NR to support multicast and broadcast communication services, complying to the requirements in TS 22.146, TS 22.246 and TS 22.261. This document encompasses support for functions such as how to deliver multicast and broadcast communications including support within certain location areas, mobility, MBS session management, policy control and QoS, and support for features e.g. group message delivery.
The present document also covers interworking with E-UTRAN and EPC based eMBMS for Public Safety (e.g. MCX services).

3  Definitions of terms and abbreviations  p. 11

3.1  Terms  p. 11

For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions defined in TR 21.905 and the following apply:
5GC Individual MBS traffic delivery:
5G CN receives a single copy of MBS data packets and delivers separate copies of those MBS data packets to individual UEs via per-UE PDU sessions, hence for each such UE one PDU session is required to be associated with a Multicast MBS Session.
5GC Shared MBS traffic delivery:
5G CN receives a single copy of MBS data packets and delivers a single copy of those MBS data packets to a RAN node.
Area Session Identifier:
A unique identifier within an MBS Session used for an MBS session with location dependent content. When present, the Area Session ID, together with the TMGI, is used to uniquely identify the data flow of an MBS Session in a specific MBS service area.
Associated PDU Session:
A PDU Session associated to a multicast MBS session that is used for 5GC Individual MBS traffic delivery method and for signalling related to a user's participation in a multicast MBS session such as join and leave requests.
Associated QoS Flow:
A unicast QoS Flow that belongs to the associated PDU Session and is used for 5GC Individual MBS traffic delivery method. The associated QoS Flow is mapped from a multicast QoS Flow in a multicast MBS session.
Broadcast communication service:
A 5GS communication service in which the same service and the same specific content data are provided simultaneously to all UEs in a geographical area (i.e. all UEs in the broadcast coverage area are authorized to receive the data).
Broadcast MBS session:
An MBS session to deliver the broadcast communication service. A broadcast MBS session is characterised by the content to send and the geographical area where to distribute it.
Broadcast service area:
The area within which data of one or multiple Broadcast MBS session(s) are sent.
MBS QoS Flow:
The finest granularity for QoS forwarding treatment for MBS data. Providing different QoS forwarding treatment requires separate MBS QoS Flows in 5GS supporting MBS.
MBS Service Announcement:
Mechanism to allow users to be informed about the available MBS services.
MBS session:
A multicast MBS session or a broadcast MBS session.
MBS service area:
The area within which data of one Multicast or Broadcast MBS session may be sent. For location dependent MBS, for each MBS service area, an Area Session ID, which is unique per MBS Session ID, is allocated and the same location dependent content data for an MBS session is delivered to the UE(s) within an MBS service area.
MB-SMF service area:
The area toward which MBS data received by any of the MB-UPF(s) controlled by the MB-SMF can be delivered. For MBS supporting NG-RAN node(s) within MB-SMF service area, MBS data are delivered via 5GC Shared MBS traffic delivery. For MBS non-supporting NG-RAN node(s) within MB-SMF service area, Multicast MBS session data are delivered via 5GC Individual MBS traffic delivery, while Broadcast MBS session data are not delivered.
Multicast communication service:
A 5GS communication service in which the same service and the same specific content data are provided simultaneously to a dedicated set of UEs (i.e. not all UEs in the coverage of the MBS service area are authorized to receive the data).
Multicast MBS session:
An MBS session to deliver the multicast communication service. A multicast MBS session is characterised by the content to send, by the list of UEs that may receive the service and optionally by a multicast area where to distribute it.
