Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a method for providing multicast services, which includes receiving a multicast service request sent by a UE through an IMS network, obtaining the media transmission parameters of the multicast media streams, sending a response to the UE through the IMS network with the media transmission parameters carried in the response, and sending the multicast media streams corresponding to the media transmission parameters to the UE. Further, a system providing multicast services and a multicast service support system is disclosed.
Claims25
A method for providing multicast services, comprising:
- receiving a multicast service request sent by a User Equipment (UE) through an IMS network, obtaining media transmission parameters of the multicast service media stream;
- sending a response carrying the media transmission parameters to the UE through the IMS network;
- and
- sending the multicast service media streams corresponding to the media transmission parameters to the UE.
A system for supporting multicast service, comprising:
- a multicast address managing unit, adapted to allocate and manage multicast addresses;
- an address and content correlating unit, adapted to create a mapping between multicast service content and the multicast address managed by the multicast address managing unit;
- and
- a scheduling result providing unit, adapted to output the mapping created by the address and content correlating unit as a scheduling result of multicast service to a service support device.
