5 Procedures for 5G Multicast-Broadcast User Services p. 38
5.1 General p. 38
This clause defines the high-level procedures for 5G Multicast-Broadcast User Services. All events referred to in call flows are listed in Table 4.6.2-1.
5.2 High-level baseline procedures p. 39
The high-level baseline procedures for MBS User Services are shown in Figure 5.2-1.
The basic procedures are as follows:
Step 1.
The MBS Application Provider provisions an Application Service as an MBS User Service by invoking the Nmbsf service on the MBSF.
Step 2.
The MBSF provisions one or more MBS Distribution Session by invoking the Nmbstf on the MBSTF.
Step 3.
The MBSF provides an MBS User Service Announcement document that may be accessed by the MBS Client of interested UEs.
Step 4.
The MBS Application Provider informs the MBS-Aware Application via MBS-8 that the specific Application Service can be accessed via an MBS User Service by means of an Application Service Announcement.
[Alternatively, the MBSF Client synthesises the Application Service Announcement from the User Service Announcement received in step 3 and informs the MBS-Aware Application via MBS-6 that the Application Service can be accessed via an MBS User Service.]
Step 5.
The MBS Application Provider creates an MBS User Data Ingest Session with the MBSTF (via the MBSF) and the latter ingests the user data via Nmb8.
Step 6.
The MBS-Aware Application requests the MBS Client to access a specific MBS User Service by invoking procedures at MBS-6.
Step 7.
Optional: If it has not already been received in step 3 above, the MBSF Client may discover additional access information about this MBS User Service by querying the MBSF via MBS-5.
Step 8.
The MBSF Client provides the MBS Distribution Session information acquired as part of the User Service Announcement information to the MBSTF Client via MBS-6'.
Step 9.
The MBSTF Client activates reception of the MBS Distribution Session.
Step 10.
The MBSF Client continuously handles the MBS Distribution Session data based on updates received via MBS-5.
Step 11.
The MBSTF Client receives MBS Distribution Session data via MBS-4-MC as part of the MBS Distribution Session.
Step 12.
The MBSTF provides the MBS Distribution Session data to the MBS-Aware Application via MBS-7 in an MBS Application Data Session.
Step 13.
The MBS-Aware Application controls the MBS User Service by invoking MBS Application Service Control procedures on the MBSF Client via MBS-6.
