10.7 Use of MBMS transmission p. 129

10.7.1 General p. 129

This subclause defines information flows and procedures for MBMS usage that applies to MC services. MBMS bearers can be used by any MC service for any MC service group. A single MBMS bearer can be used for one or more MC services within a single group or by multiple group communications in parallel.

The following subclauses specify the procedures and information flows for the usage of MBMS transmission that are utilised by the following MC services:

MCPTT (as specified in TS 23.379);
MCVideo (as specified in TS 23.281); and
MCData (as specified in TS 23.282).

MC service specific pre-requisites and resultant behaviour by functional entities in performing these procedures are specified in the respective MC service TSs as listed above.

10.7.2.2 MBMS listening status report p. 130

Table 10.7.2.2-1 describes the information flow for the MBMS listening status report from MC service client to MC service server. The information is used for the decision on the switching from MBMS bearer to unicast bearer or vice versa.
