1 Scope
The present document provides the description of the Broadcast/Multicast Control Protocol (BMC). This protocol
adapts broadcast and multicast services on the radio interface.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply.
CB message: User data as transmitted from Cell Broadcast Centre to UE (BMC SDU).
CB repetition period: Period after which a CB message should be broadcast if more than one repetitions are requested.
Number of Broadcast Requested: Number of broadcasts requested for a CB message. This number is infinite or finite.
DRX Schedule Period: Schedule period as optionally requested by the CBC (unit: seconds).
Reserved CB Capacity: Percentage of the capacity reserved for CB messages with category HIGH on the allocated
radio resources CTCH, FACH and S-CCPCH. This parameter can be set optionally by the CBC.
CTCH Block Set: Subset of the transport block set of FACH on which the CTCH used for CBS is mapped uniquely.
CBS schedule period: Finite sequence of CTCH Block Sets of variable length in which scheduled CB messages are
broadcast.

4 General
4.1 Model of BMC
Broadcast/Multicast Control (BMC ) is a sublayer of L2 that exists in the User-Plane only. It is located above RLC. The
L2/BMC sublayer is assumed as transparent for all services except broadcast/multicast.
Figure 4.1-1 shows the model of the L2/BMC sublayer within the UTRAN radio interface protocol architecture.
At the UTRAN side, the BMC sublayer shall consist of one BMC protocol entity per cell. Each BMC entity requires a
single CTCH, which is provided by the MAC sublayer, through the RLC sublayer. The BMC requests the
Unacknowledged Mode service of the RLC.
It is assumed that there is a function in the RNC above BMC that resolves the geographical area information of the CB
message (or, if applicable, performs evaluation of a cell list) received from the Cell Broadcast Centre (CBC). A BMC
protocol entity serves only those messages at BMC-SAP that are to be broadcast into a specified cell.

5 Functions
The functions are specified in TS 25.301. They are:
- Storage of Cell Broadcast Messages
- Traffic volume monitoring and radio resource request for CBS
- Scheduling of BMC messages
- Transmission of BMC messages to UE
- Delivery of Cell Broadcast messages to upper layer (NAS)
6 Services provided to Upper Layers
The BM-SAP provides a broadcast/multicast transmission service in the user plane on the radio interface for common
user data in unacknowledged mode.
NOTE: This chapter depends on the specification of the CBC-RNC-interface protocol (TS of RAN WG 3) and
the requirements of the CB application and the underlying interfaces (TS 023.041 under specification of T
WG 2 SWG 3). RAN WG 2 has based its work on the available specifications.
The BMC sublayer interacts with other entities as illustrated in figure 1 of chapter 4. The interactions with the upper
layer/U-plane and the RRC layer are specified in terms of primitives where the primitives represent the logical
exchange of information and control between the BMC sublayer and higher layers. They do not specify or constrain
implementations. The (adjacent) layers connect to each other through Service Access Points (SAPs).
Three types of primitives are used for this document, as follows.
- REQUEST:
This type is used when a higher layer is requesting a service from a lower layer
- INDICATION:
This type is used by a lower layer providing a service to notify its higher layer of activities concerning that
higher layer
- CONFIRM:
This type is used by a lower layer providing the requested service to confirm to the higher layer that the activity
has been completed.
The primitives defined below are for communications between upper layer and BMC, as well as RRC and BMC in the
same protocol stack.
For the BMC sublayer two sets of primitives are defined
- Primitives between BMC and upper layer (U-plane):
BMC - Generic name - Type: Parameters
- Primitives between BMC and the RRC entity:
CBMC - Generic name - Type: Parameters.
7 Services expected from RLC
The BMC uses the unacknowledged mode service of the RLC sublayer.
See [1] TS 25.322 RLC Protocol Specification for details.
