The procedure is for providing a transmission control to MCVideo UE in an on-network case and applies for both private call and group call. Transmission control is performed by using transmission control information flows between the transmission control participant and the transmission control server.
When the transmission control server receives a transmit media request from the transmission control participant, it decides whether to give a grant or not. The result is informed to the requesting transmission control participant. When the transmission control participant receives a transmit media granted message, it can send video media over the uplink bearer established beforehand. The transmit media revoked message can be used as part of revoke. The transmit media queue status request can be used to know current position in the queue for media transmission.
Some transmission control information flows can also piggyback call control information flows to provide efficient call setup and clearing:
-
Call setup request is optionally carried in transmit media request (uplink); and
-
Call release request is optionally carried in media transmission release (uplink).
