Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for the UE to receive multicast transmission in RRC INACTIVE state. In one embodiment, the UE joins a multicast session, receives a MRB configuration for a multicast service, establishes an MRB for reception of the multicast service in the RRC INACTIVE state, and receives data transmission of the multicast service with the established MRB in the RRC INACTIVE state. In one embodiment, the UE stores the MRB configuration in the buffer when the multicast session has not started when the MRB configuration is received. In one embodiment, the UE receives a notification for the multicast session start in the RRC INACTIVE state and establishes the MRB based on the stored MRB configuration. In one embodiment, the UE, in the INACTIVE state, updates the multicast resource/MTCH information based on one or more predefined conditions.

Abstract: A server transmits an encoded game frame over a network to a respective client system as a set of packets. In response to transmitting the set of packets, the server determines a bandwidth estimate based on the size of the encoded game frame and the timing data associated with the transmitted set of packets. The server then compares the bandwidth estimate to a current video bitrate of the game stream being transmitted from the server to the respective client device. In response to the comparison indicating an underutilization of the network, the server increases the encoding bitrate. Further, in response to the comparison indication an overutilization of the network, the server decreases the encoding bitrate.
