Summary

Broadcast and multicast is a point-to-multipoint technology in which data is transmitted from a single source entity to multiple recipients. Fixed, mobile and satellite convergence (FMSC) is the capability that provides services and applications to end users regardless of the fixed, mobile or satellite access technologies being used. This Recommendation specifies the network enhancements of supporting broadcast and multicast for FMC and FMSC in IMT-2020 networks and beyond, focusing on general consideration, requirements, enabling technologies, network function enhancements and procedures, in the context of IMT-2020 networks and beyond. The radio aspects are out of the scope of this Recommendation.
