Abstract
An apparatus, in a user equipment, is provided, the apparatus comprising: at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to receive an indication whether a transmission mode for inactive/idle reception of multicast is applied for a multicast session, and based on the indication, perform procedures to enable reception of the multicast session using the transmission mode for inactive/idle mode reception.
Claims14
An apparatus, in a user equipment, comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive an indication whether a transmission mode for inactive reception of multicast is applied for a multicast session, and
- based on the indication, perform procedures to enable reception of the multicast session using the transmission mode for inactive mode reception.
An apparatus, in a network element performing a session management function, comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive a join request message for a multicast session from a user equipment, and
- send a join accept message in response to the join request message, wherein the join accept message comprises an indication as to whether a transmission mode for inactive reception of multicast is to be enabled for the multicast session.
An apparatus, in a network element performing a radio access network node, comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to
- receive information about a multicast session comprising an indication as to whether the transmission mode for inactive reception of multicast is to be enabled for the multicast session:
- decide, at least partially based on the received indication, whether to apply the transmission mode for inactive reception of multicast for the multicast session in at least one radio cell served by the apparatus;
- and
- transmit data of the multicast session in the radio cell using the decided transmission mode.
