Although the existing technology is mature, current linear broadcast systems have serious limitations when providing service to moving users or users placed in areas with complex orography and poor signal quality. To overcome these limitations, 3GPP 5G standard has included a work item to support 5G multicast/broadcast services for future Release 17. This paper investigates the integration of point-to-point (unicast) communication with cellular multicast/broadcast on 5G technology to extend the current support of linear broadcasting services. This integration relies on the use mobile edge computing (MEC) at the 5G base station (gNB) to host a dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) server that is coordinated with the multicast transmission to complement the broadcast service. This approach join the reliability of point-to-point communications, with de...
