5G-Xcast is a project focused on Broadcast and Multicast Communication Enablers For the Fifth Generation of Wireless Systems. Within the project for the most defined use cases, it is necessary to provide needed throughput, delay and reliability. For this purpose, the multi-connectivity approach can be used. 5G multi-connectivity is one of the key enablers in order to satisfy the demanding requirements of 5G mobile networks. Multilink is one kind of multi-connectivity within the 5G-Xcast project. This paper describes multilink benefits, its high-level description and implementation to the 5G core architecture for better user experience and reducing costs of mobile network operators.
