Abstract: A content adapter receives a request from a first user equipment to receive a unicast service via a base station and determines that the base station is providing the unicast service to a second user equipment using a service identifier. The content adapter transmits a signal instructing the base station to allocate the service identifier to the first user equipment for receiving the unicast service concurrently with the second user equipment. A base station allocates the service identifier to the first user equipment in response to the first user equipment requesting a unicast service that the base station is already providing to a second user equipment using the service identifier. The base station transmits content for the unicast service for reception by the first and second user equipment based on the service identifier.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of pattern-based message transmission. The method can predetermine a transmission pattern for the message transmission between a base station and a user equipment according to a service type, an equipment identifier, and etc., of the equipment and can hereby determine a transmission process of signaling and data and thus can handle the remaining transmission of either signaling or data to be performed in the predetermined pattern, which means that scheduling resources can be greatly saved and thus signaling overheads and the resource consumption can be greatly reduced. With an optimized design of a pattern, an acknowledgement message and subsequent signalings and/or data could be encapsulated in a same data packet for transmission and reception, thereby resources are further saved. This improves the efficiency of utilizing signaling greatly in general, reduces signaling overheads, and also facilitates various communication between other users in the cell, improves the efficiency of economy and saves cost.
