ArXi:2605.16735v1 Announce Type: cross The deployment of 5G Multicast-Broadcast Services (MBS) is emerging as a critical technology for spectral-efficient UHD content delivery and serving as a promising solution to modernize CATV deployment. However, unlike unicast networks that rely on RLC-AM with HARQ retransmissions, MBS broadcast operates in RLC Unacknowledged Mode (RLC-UM), where the absence of a feedback loop means packet loss is permanent and immediately impacts user QoE.
