Method of managing media communication in mission critical (MC) system, MC server, and receiver thereof

A mission critical (MC) server for managing media communication in a MC system, the MC server comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory configured to store processor-executable instructions, that when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a request and a media stream from a sender, the request for transmitting the media stream to one or more receivers, wherein the request indicates a mode of transmission of the media stream;
• transmit a notification message indicating a mode of reception identified based on the mode of transmission to the one or more receivers for receiving the media stream from the sender, wherein the mode of reception is one from among an emergency mode and a normal mode;
• and
• transmit the media stream to the one or more receivers subsequent to transmission of the notification message, when the mode of reception is the emergency mode.

A receiver for managing media communication in a mission critical (MC) system, the receiver comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory configure to store processor-executable instructions, that when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a notification message from an MC server for receiving a media stream from a sender, wherein the notification message indicates a mode of reception that is one from among an emergency mode and a normal mode;
• and
• receive the media stream from the MC server subsequent to receiving the notification message, when the mode of reception is the emergency mode.
