5G MBS System Capability Verification in Commercial Scenario

Abstract

5G NR MBS (5G New Radio Multicast and Broadcast Services) is a technology based on 5G mobile telecommunication network, which can provide new type of interactive video broadcasting services such as multi-angle view service to various kinds of intelligent mobile terminals by using the integrated unicast, multicast, and broadcast modes from both mobile base stations and TV Towers. In November 2021, the verification of new broadcasting services including multi-angle viewing and panoramic VR video live broadcasting in the Beijing Winter Olympics test events was carried based on 5G NR MBS. This is the world's first system capability verification of 5G NR MBS in commercial scenarios, which is of great significance to the subsequent acceleration of the industrial chain maturity and full-commercial innovation for various application scenarios.
