For instance, a processing system including at least one processor may obtain a latency estimate for an immersive visual stream, determine whether the latency estimate exceeds a latency threshold for selecting a type of transmission for the immersive visual stream, and select the type of transmission for the immersive visual stream from among a field of view restricted type of transmission and a field of view plus out of scene type of transmission based upon the determining. When the latency estimate is determined to not exceed the latency threshold, the field of view restricted type of transmission is selected. When the latency estimate is determined to exceed the latency threshold, the field of view plus out of scene type of transmission is selected.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for resource allocation signaling for grouping user real time services. Uplink signaling for voice activity reporting of each user's transition between an active state and an inactive voice state is sent from a wireless transmit/receive unit to a Node B.
