Method and device for storing and distributing file content in MC network

A method performed by a mission critical data (MCData) content server in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a user equipment (UE), an MCData upload request message indicating a uniform resource locator (URL) of a file residing in an MCData message store entity, wherein the file resides in a secured storage area of the MCData message store entity, the secured storage area being dedicated to an MCData user;
• fetching, via a reference point MCData-file distribution (FD)-7, the file from the MCData message store entity, based on the URL, wherein the reference point MCData-FD-7 exists between a media storage function in the MCData content server and the MCData message store entity;
• and storing the file into a repository of the MCData content server.

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
• transmit, to a mission critical data (MCData) content server via the transceiver, an MCData upload request message indicating a uniform resource locator (URL) of a file residing in an MCData message store entity, wherein the file resides in a secured storage area of the MCData message store entity, the secured storage area being dedicated to an MCData user, wherein the file is fetched from the MCData message store entity via a reference point MCData-file distribution (FD)-7, based on the URL, wherein the reference point MCData-FD-7 exists between a media storage function in the MCData content server and the MCData message store entity, and wherein the file is stored into a repository of the MCData content server.
