Scalable and reliable multicast protocols

This disclosure relates to transmitting multicast information over a network, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN). A source device may transmit a multicast and a request for feedback to a plurality of sink devices. The sink devices may transmit feedback based on whether they successfully decoded the multicast. The source device may retransmit the multicast (or a portion thereof) based on the feedback.

Multicast feedback based on reference signal transmissions

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A set of reference signal resources that are configured for sounding reference signal transmissions may be shared among user equipments (UEs) that are enabled to receive multicast communications. Each of the shared set of reference signal resources may be associated with set(s) of channel state information. UEs may measure a multicast channel to determine channel state information for the multicast channel and transmit sounding reference signals over one of the shared reference signal resources that is associated with the set of channel state information determined by the UE. A base station that receives the sounding reference signal may transmit a subsequent multicast transmission for the UEs using transmission parameters that are adapted for the set(s) of channel state information associated with the occupied sounding reference signal resource.

The present invention relates generally to the field of virtual private networks. More specifically, the present invention relates to a broadcast system for a virtual private network that broadcasts via a mesh network. Further, the system makes use of a broadcast source server which allocates data from data packets to specific nodes within a location-based regiment database. The database then uses an AI optimization system which further minimizes latency versus standard IP UDP broadcast systems.

ULTRA-LOW LATENCY ATOMIC MULTICAST

A method is implemented by a computing device for atomic multicast support for a multicast group, includes receiving a message order from a sequencer via remote write, the message order defining a sequence for a plurality of messages from a multicast group, receiving the plurality of messages from at least one sender in the multicast group via remote write, and providing the plurality of messages to an application in the message order, in response to determining that all of the plurality of messages have been received.

HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST PROCESS MANAGEMENT FOR BROADCAST

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive one or more repetitions of a broadcast message for broadcast service in one or more transmission occasions. The UE may determine a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) configuration that indicates whether HARQ combining is supported for the broadcast message based at least in part on one or more properties of the broadcast message. The UE may perform a decode attempt on a transport block carried in the one or more repetitions of the broadcast message based at least in part on the HARQ configuration. Numerous other aspects are described.

DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DATA OBJECT PREPARATION

A system generates a set of instructions for preparing content of a memory resource that comprises a set of objects in a particular sequence. The system sends the content of the memory resource and the set of instructions to a user device. The system receives a first message that indicates the set of objects is being prepared from the user device. The system sends, to a server associated with a delivery vehicle, a third message to alert the delivery vehicle to pick up the set of objects from a pickup location and deliver to a delivery location coordinate. The system receives, from the server, an alert message that indicates the delivery vehicle has reached the pickup location coordinate. The system forwards the alert message to the user device.

Power control for shared feedback

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may communicate with a user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs using multicast transmissions, and each of the multiple UEs may use shared resources to transmit feedback. A UE may receive a power control configuration associated with multicast communications and indicating one or more control parameters or weighting factors for uplink feedback. The UE may monitor a set of downlink resources for the multicast message from the base station, and may determine a decoding failure for the multicast message. The UE may determine whether to transmit uplink feedback to the base station based on the received power control parameters, such as adjusting UE transmit power using a weighting factor or other power control parameters. The UE may determine whether to transmit the uplink feedback message indicating the decoding failure based on the power control configuration.

Group acknowledgement in a wireless communication network

A system includes a server, a plurality of end devices, and at least one gathering gateway serving as a relay between the server and the end devices. The server creates at least one group and allocates end devices to each group created; defines, for each group, instances of a group reception window separated by a period so as to occur at deterministic instants; receives uplink frames coming from end devices; for such end device allocated to a group, acknowledges the uplink frames received in a downlink frame transmitted in multicast mode, in such group reception window defined for said group, said downlink frame including a group acknowledgement for all the uplink frames sent by end devices of the group during the period preceding said instance of the group reception window; and, for such end device that is not allocated to a group, acknowledges the uplink frames received in unicast mode.

FEEDBACK FOR MULTICAST AND BROADCAST MESSAGES

The disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems for wireless communications. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may transmit a multicast message to a group of user equipment (UEs), and the UEs may provide feedback for the multicast message. In some implementations, the base station may configure the UEs to transmit feedback for multicast messages. In some example, the UEs may transmit group-negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback information for multicast messages that are not successfully received at the UEs. In some other examples, each UE may be configured with UE-specific uplink control channel resources for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for a multicast message. In some implementations, a UE may support feedback for both unicast and multicast messages. The semi-static codebook for unicast, multicast, or both may account for whether the UE is capable of concurrently receiving unicast and multicast messages in a slot.

RELIABLE MULTICAST TRANSMISSION WITH UPLINK FEEDBACK
20230087614 · 2023-03-23 ·

Apparatus and methods are provided for reliable multicast transmission with uplink feedback. In one novel aspect, a unicast RB associated with the multicast RB is configured. In one embodiment, a single protocol stack is configured for the UE to receive MBS data packets from both the PTM RB and the PTP RB. The UE assembles data packets from the multicast RB and the unicast RB at the single UE protocol stack and provides uplink feedback for MBS data reception status through the PTP RB. The uplink feedback is provided by the UE RLC entity with RLC status report or by the UE PDCP entity with PDCP status report. The UE is configured with one LCH for the MBS and monitors a multicast LCH through a G-RNTI and a unicast LCH through a C-RNTI. Alternatively, the UE is configured with a multicast LCH and a unicast LCH.
