1. A base station comprising:
a processor;
a wireless interface; and
a communication interface,
wherein:
the communication interface and processor are configured to receive broadcast or multicast data using shared delivery with the shared delivery broadcast or multicast data being received by a plurality of base stations,
the wireless interface configured to transmit the broadcast or multicast data to a plurality of user equipments (UEs), and
based on acknowledgement feedback, the broadcast or multicast data is selectively retransmitted using unicast or multicast or broadcast, wherein when a first number of acknowledgements is received, the retransmission uses unicast and when a second number of acknowledgments is received, the retransmission uses multicast or broadcast.
