Floor Control Method and Apparatus

A floor control apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises:

• a third receiver, configured to receive a second floor application message sent by a media resource function entity, wherein the second floor application message comprises an identity of a talker, an identifier of a group to which the talker belongs, and a first parameter indicating that an event type is a floor request, the second floor application message is generated by the media resource function entity according to a first floor application message sent by user equipment (UE), and the first floor application message comprises the identity of the talker, the identifier of the group to which the talker belongs, and the first parameter indicating that the event type is a floor request;
• a first determining and generation module, configured to determine, according to a floor control policy and the second floor application message, to grant the talker a floor, and generate, according to the second floor application message, a first floor grant message in response to the second floor application message, wherein the first floor grant message comprises the identity of the talker, the identifier of the group to which the talker belongs, and a second parameter indicating that an event type is a floor grant;
• and
• a third transmitter, configured to send the first floor grant message to the media resource function entity, wherein the first floor grant message is used to instruct the media resource function entity to generate a second floor grant message, and send the second floor grant message to the UE, and the second floor grant message comprises the identity of the talker, the identifier of the group to which the talker belongs, and the second parameter indicating that an event type is a floor grant.

• a fourth generator, configured to generate a first floor deny message according to the second floor application message and a floor control policy, wherein the first floor deny message comprises the identity of the talker, the identifier of the group to which the talker belongs, a second parameter indicating that an event type is floor deny, and a deny cause value;
• and
• a fourth transmitter, configured to send the first floor deny message to the media resource function entity, wherein the first floor deny message instructs the media resource function entity to generate a second floor deny message according to the first floor deny message, and send the second floor deny message to the UE, and wherein the second floor deny message comprises the identity of the talker, the identifier of the group to which the talker belongs, the second parameter indicating that an event type is floor deny, and the deny cause value.
