Centralised Unit Multicast (CU-MC)
CU-MC is a multicast function in the Centralised Unit, proposed by the 5G-Xcast research project, for delivering the same content to many users efficiently.
What is Centralised Unit Multicast (CU-MC)?
The 5G-Xcast project studied how to add broadcast and multicast to 5G. It proposed a CU-MC element to handle multicast traffic in the radio access network, so that one stream could serve many devices instead of sending a separate copy to each.
