Abstract
A method and system for multicast and broadcast system (MCBCS) mapping and delivery to support MCBCS services is provided. Media content flows are assigned a media content identifier grouped into one or more multicast and broadcast system (MBS) services, wherein each MBS service is assigned an MBS service ID. An MBS content ID (MCID) is assigned to each MBS service. Data packets are formed that include the MBS service information (e.g., the media content flows) and classification/synchronization rules. A data path ID (DPID) is assigned to one or more MBS services dependent upon the destination of the data packets. Frames for transmission are then created and transmitted via radio frequencies. Optionally, a logical channel ID (LCID) may be assigned to each media content flow, if more than one media content flow is included within an MBS service.
