Abstract
The disclosure is directed to preemptively establishing a multicast bearer. An embodiment determines whether adding a multicast session to a plurality of multicast bearers will exceed a high bandwidth threshold, requests setup of a new multicast bearer if adding the multicast session will exceed the high bandwidth threshold, and hosts the multicast session on an available one of the plurality of multicast bearers or the new multicast bearer.
Claims28
A method for preemptively establishing a multicast bearer, comprising:
- determining whether adding a multicast session to a plurality of multicast bearers will exceed a high bandwidth threshold;
- if adding the multicast session will exceed the high bandwidth threshold, requesting setup of a new multicast bearer;
- and
- hosting the multicast session on an available one of the plurality of multicast bearers or the new multicast bearer.
An apparatus for preemptively establishing a multicast bearer, comprising:
- logic configured to determine whether adding a multicast session to a plurality of multicast bearers will exceed a high bandwidth threshold;
- logic configured to request setup of a new multicast bearer if adding the multicast session will exceed the high bandwidth threshold;
- and
- logic configured to host the multicast session on an available one of the plurality of multicast bearers or the new multicast bearer.
An apparatus for preemptively establishing a multicast bearer, comprising:
- means for determining whether adding a multicast session to a plurality of multicast bearers will exceed a high bandwidth threshold;
- means for requesting setup of a new multicast bearer if adding the multicast session will exceed the high bandwidth threshold;
- and
- means for hosting the multicast session on an available one of the plurality of multicast bearers or the new multicast bearer.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for preemptively establishing a multicast bearer, comprising:
- at least one instruction to determine whether adding a multicast session to a plurality of multicast bearers will exceed a high bandwidth threshold;
- at least one instruction to request setup of a new multicast bearer if adding the multicast session will exceed the high bandwidth threshold;
- and
- at least one instruction to host the multicast session on an available one of the plurality of multicast bearers or the new multicast bearer.
