Abstract
There is provided mechanisms for service interruption reporting of a multicast bearer for group communications. A method is performed by a client node. The method comprises obtaining instruction from a control node of the multicast bearer, where the instruction instructs whether or not the client node is to report service interruption of the multicast bearer. The method comprises detecting service interruption of the multicast bearer. The method comprises selectively reporting the service interruption to the control node in accordance with the instruction.
Claims25
A method for service interruption reporting of a multicast bearer for group communications, the method being performed by a client node, the method comprising:
- obtaining instruction from a control node of the multicast bearer, where the instruction instructs whether or not the client node is to report service interruption of the multicast bearer;
- detecting service interruption of the multicast bearer;
- and
- selectively reporting the service interruption to the control node in accordance with the instruction.
A method for service interruption reporting of a multicast bearer for group communications, the method being performed by a control node of the multicast bearer, the method comprising:
- transmitting instruction whether or not a client node listening to the multicast bearer is to report service interruption of the multicast bearer;
- and
- obtaining reporting of service interruption of the multicast bearer from the client node instructed to report failure of the multicast bearer.
(canceled)
A client node for service interruption reporting of a multicast bearer for group communications, the client node comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the client node to:
- obtain instruction from a control node of the multicast bearer, where the instruction instructs whether or not the client node is to report service interruption of the multicast bearer;
- detect service interruption of the multicast bearer;
- and
- selectively report the service interruption to the control node in accordance with the instruction.
21-22. (canceled)
A control node for service interruption reporting of a multicast bearer for group communications, the control node comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the control node to:
- transmit instruction whether or not a client node listening to the multicast bearer is to report service interruption of the multicast bearer;
- and
- obtain reporting of service interruption of the multicast bearer from the client node instructed to report failure of the multicast bearer.
24-27. (canceled)
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a computer program product for service interruption reporting of a multicast bearer for group communications, the computer program product comprising software instructions which, when run on processing circuitry of a client node, causes the client node to:
- obtain instruction from a control node of the multicast bearer, where the instruction instructs whether or not the client node is to report service interruption of the multicast bearer;
- detect service interruption of the multicast bearer;
- and
- selectively report the service interruption to the control node in accordance with the instruction.
