Abstract:
1. A method comprising: generating a plurality of frames in a time diversity interval (TDI), wherein at least two of the plurality of frames include one or more multicast and broadcast service (MBS) regions; generating a pattern vector, wherein the pattern vector includes one or more values indicating one or more widths of the one or more MBS regions of the TDI, wherein the number of values in the pattern vector represents a period after which the one or more values repeat within the one or more MBS regions of the TDI, such that when the number of frames in the TDI is greater than the number of values in the pattern vector, the one or more widths of the one or more MBS regions repeat in subsequent MBS regions until a last frame in the TDI; assigning, based on the pattern vector, one or more numbers to one or more symbols of the TDI comprising the plurality of frames; assigning the one or more symbols with the assigned one or more numbers to one or more segments; and transmitting, to a client station, the pattern vector to enable the client station to access, based on the one or more symbols with the assigned one or more numbers, at least one segment from at least one of the plurality of frames.
