Figure 9.2.1.1-1 below is the on-network architectural model for the MC system solution, where the MC system provides one or more MC services via a single PLMN.
The SIP core provides rendezvous (contact address binding and URI resolution) and service control (application service selection) functions. It is composed of the following functional entities:
The EPS provides point-to-point and point-to-multipoint bearer services with QoS.
UE 1 is:
-
an MC service UE in on-network mode supporting bearer services and application(s) related to one or more MC service;
-
an MC service UE that acts as ProSe UE-to-network relay; or
-
both of the above.
When acting as an MC service UE in on-network mode supporting bearer services and application(s) related to one or more MC services, UE 1 is composed of the same functional entities as for UE 2, as described in
subclause 9.2.1.6, without the support of ProSe capabilities.
UE 2 is a device using ProSe UE-to-network relay, and supporting application(s) related to one or more MC services. It is composed of the following functional entities:
