Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

A revolutionary method and system for multiplex and resource indication of multicast broadcast service zones has been patented by ZTE CORPORATION. The invention provides a way to effectively ensure the correctness of resource dividing indication and reduce the overhead of the system. According to the patent, the method maps discrete resource blocks in one or more frequency segments to continuous logical resource units, offering two indication modes and two mapping modes.

Key Takeaways:

  • The invention provides a method for multiplex and resource indication of multicast broadcast service zones, ensuring the correctness of resource dividing indication and reducing system overhead.
  • The method maps discrete resource blocks in one or more frequency segments to continuous logical resource units.
  • Two indication modes are provided: resource index information and bitmap information.
  • Two mapping modes are available: according to the resource indication information or bitmap information.
  • The control station transmits resource indication information to a terminal, enabling the terminal to obtain position information of the resource zone to be received.
  • The terminal receives and decodes the multicast broadcast service, making use of the control and resource mapping information provided.
