Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for configuring multicast communication, are disclosed. One method includes generating, by a system platform, a multicast scheduling control packet based upon a distribution of a plurality of network registered hubs, communicating, by the system platform, to a wireless communication base station the multicast scheduling control packet, generating, by the wireless communication base station, a plurality of multicast channel configurations based upon the multicast scheduling control packet, communicating, by the system platform, the multicast scheduling control packet to a wireless communication hub, wherein the wireless communication hub is one of the plurality of network registered hubs, selecting, by the wireless communication hub, specific multicast channels from the plurality of multicast channel configurations, to receive specific multicast data based upon a condition of the hub and the multicast scheduling control packet, and receiving, by the wireless communication hub, multicast data through the selected specific multicast channel configurations.
