The group configurations are received by the group management client of an authorized user.

The received group configurations are sent to the group management server for storage using a store group configuration request.

Figure 10.1.5.2-1: Retrieve group configurations at group management client

The group management server may validate the group configurations before storage.

Step 4.

The group management server stores the group configurations.

Step 5.

The group management server provides a store group configuration response indicating success or failure. If any validation or storage fails, the group management server provides a failure indication in the store group configuration response.

10.1.5.2 Retrieve group configurations at the group management client p. 87

The procedure for retrieve group configurations at the group management client is described in Figure 10.1.5.2-1. This procedure can be used following service authorisation when the configuration management client has received the list of groups and the group management client needs to obtain the group configurations, or following a notification from the group management server that new group configuration information is available.

Pre-conditions:

The group management server has received configuration data for groups, and has stored this configuration data;
The MC service UE has registered for service and the group management client needs to download group configuration data applicable to the current user.

Reproduction of 3GPP TS 23.280, Fig. 10.1.5.2-1: Retrieve group configurations at group management client

The group management client requests the group configuration data.

It can also be used by the group management server to provide new group related key material to the group management client.

Pre-conditions:

The group management client has subscribed to the group configuration information
The group management server has received and stored new group configuration information, or the group management server has generated and stored new key material, or both of these have occurred.

Reproduction of 3GPP TS 23.280, Fig. 10.1.5.3-2: Notification of group configurations to group management client

The group management server provides the notification to the group management client, who previously subscribed for the group configuration information. Optionally, the notify group configuration request may contain group related key material for the group management client.

The group management client provides a notify group configuration response to the group management server.
