The MCPTT client sends a group join request with the MCPTT group ID of the desired group to the MCPTT server. If there is a request to transmit, then the group joint request contains an indication of an implicit floor request.
The IWF sends a group join request with the MCPTT group ID of the desired group and either using the MCPTT ID corresponding to the LMR group member or using the pre-configured MCPTT ID for use when the IWF is affiliating itself on behalf of the group's LMR users. If there is a request to transmit, then the group join request contains an indication of an implicit floor request. If the group join request includes an implicit floor request it may also include location information.
The MCPTT server receives the group join request. MCPTT server generates an implicit affiliation using the MCPTT ID used by the IWF (if the IWF or the LMR user is not already affiliated to the group) and verifies that IWF is authorized to affiliate to the group.
