10.6.2.6.1  MCPTT emergency group callp. 81
10.6.2.6.1.1  MCPTT emergency group call commencementp. 81
The procedure describes the case where an MCPTT client is initiating an MCPTT emergency group call with the affiliated MCPTT members of that MCPTT group. An MCPTT client in the MCPTT emergency state gains elevated access privilege for all of the MCPTT user's mission critical applications. Initiating an MCPTT emergency group call puts the MCPTT group into the in-progress emergency state. While in the in-progress emergency state, all MCPTT group calls in the MCPTT group are processed as MCPTT emergency group calls by the MCPTT server until the in-progress emergency state of the MCPTT group is cancelled.
Figure 10.6.2.6.1.1-1 shows the procedures for the MCPTT client initiating establishment of an MCPTT emergency group call with an MCPTT group i.e., MCPTT users on MCPTT client 1, MCPTT client 2 and MCPTT client 3 belong to the same MCPTT group which is defined on MCPTT group management server.
Pre-conditions:
  1. The MCPTT group is previously defined on the group management server with MCPTT client 2 and MCPTT client 3 affiliated to that MCPTT group.
  2. All members of the MCPTT group belong to the same MCPTT system.
  3. The initiating MCPTT client 1 has been provisioned with an MCPTT group that has been designated via provisioning as the MCPTT emergency group.
  4. Optionally, MCPTT client 1 may use an activated functional alias for the group communication.
  5. The MCPTT server may have subscribed to the MCPTT functional alias controlling server within the MC system for functional alias activation/de-activation updates.

Step 1.
The user at the MCPTT client 1 initiates an MCPTT emergency group call. MCPTT client 1 sets its MCPTT emergency state. The MCPTT user at MCPTT client 1 may select a functional alias used for the call. The MCPTT emergency state of MCPTT client 1 is retained until explicitly cancelled by the user of MCPTT client 1.
Step 2.
MCPTT client 1 sends an MCPTT emergency group call request towards the MCPTT server. The MCPTT server records the identity of the MCPTT user that initiated the MCPTT emergency group call until the MCPTT emergency state of the group is cancelled. Once an MCPTT emergency call has been initiated, the MCPTT group is considered to be in an in-progress emergency state until the emergency state of the group is cancelled. If configured to send an MCPTT emergency alert when initiating an MCPTT emergency group call, the request also contains an indication that an MCPTT emergency alert is to be initiated. The request may contain an indication of an implicit floor request.
Step 3.
The MCPTT server implicitly affiliates MCPTT client 1 to the emergency group if the client is not already affiliated.
Step 4.
MCPTT server checks whether the MCPTT user of MCPTT client 1 is authorized for initiation of MCPTT emergency calls on the indicated MCPTT group, and if authorized, it resolves the MCPTT group ID to determine the members of that MCPTT group and their affiliation status, based on the information from group management server. The MCPTT server checks whether the provided functional alias, if present, can be used and has been activated for the user.
Step 5.
The MCPTT server configures the priority of the underlying bearers for all participants in the MCPTT group.
Step 6.
MCPTT server sends the MCPTT emergency group call request towards the MCPTT clients of each of those affiliated MCPTT group members. The request contains an indication of the in-progress emergency. The request contains an indication of an MCPTT emergency alert if the request from the originator indicated MCPTT emergency alert.
Step 7.
MCPTT users are notified of the incoming MCPTT emergency group call. The functional alias of the group call initiating MCPTT user may be displayed.
Step 8.
The receiving MCPTT clients send the MCPTT emergency group call response to the MCPTT server to acknowledge the MCPTT emergency group call request. For a multicast call, these acknowledgements are not sent. The receiving MCPTT client check whether it is already involved in an MCPTT emergency group call when using this functional alias and whether the maximum number of parallel MCPTT emergency group calls when using this functional alias has been reached.
Step 9.
The MCPTT server sends the MCPTT emergency group call response to the MCPTT user 1 to inform the successful MCPTT emergency call establishment.
MCPTT client 1, MCPTT client 2 and MCPTT client 3 have successfully established media plane for communication. MCPTT floor participant 1, floor participant 2 and floor participant 3 exchange floor control information e.g., MCPTT client 1 receives the floor granted information over the established media plane, while the other MCPTT client's receive floor taken information. MCPTT client 1 indicates to the MCPTT user that the floor is available to send media, while the other MCPTT clients in the MCPTT emergency group call will be receiving that media. MCPTT client 1 can override other clients in the call except those that are also in the MCPTT emergency state.

10.6.2.6.1.2  MCPTT group call upgraded to an MCPTT emergency group callp. 83
The procedure focuses on the case where an authorized MCPTT user is upgrading an MCPTT group call to an MCPTT emergency group call while the MCPTT group call is already in progress.
Procedures in Figure 10.6.2.6.1.2-1 are the signalling control plane procedures for the MCPTT client upgrading an MCPTT group call on an MCPTT group to an MCPTT emergency group call.
Pre-conditions:
  1. The MCPTT group is previously defined on the group management server with MCPTT client 2 and MCPTT client 3 affiliated to that MCPTT group.
  2. All members of the MCPTT group belong to the same MCPTT system.
  3. An MCPTT group call is already in progress.
  4. The initiating MCPTT client 1 has been configured to send an MCPTT emergency alert when upgrading an MCPTT emergency group call.

Up
Step 1.
The MCPTT user at MCPTT client 1 initiates a group emergency. MCPTT client 1 sets its MCPTT emergency state. The MCPTT emergency state of MCPTT client 1 is retained until explicitly cancelled by the user of MCPTT client 1.
Step 2.
MCPTT client 1 requests the MCPTT server to upgrade the MCPTT group to an in-progress emergency state by sending an MCPTT emergency group call request. If configured to send an MCPTT alert when initiating an MCPTT emergency upgrade, the request also contains an indication that an MCPTT alert is to be initiated. The request may contain an indication of an implicit floor request.
Step 3.
The MCPTT server adjusts the priority of the underlying bearer for all or selected participants in the MCPTT group call that receive the communication over unicast.
Step 4.
MCPTT server sends the MCPTT emergency group call request towards the MCPTT clients of each of those affiliated MCPTT group members. The request contains an indication of an MCPTT emergency alert if the request from the originator indicated MCPTT emergency alert.
Step 5.
MCPTT users are notified of the in-progress emergency state of the MCPTT group.
Step 6.
The receiving MCPTT clients send the MCPTT emergency group call response to the MCPTT server to acknowledge the MCPTT group emergency request. For a multicast call, these acknowledgements are not sent.
Step 7.
The MCPTT server sends the MCPTT emergency group call response to the MCPTT user 1 to confirm the upgrade request.
MCPTT client 1, MCPTT client 2 and MCPTT client 3 continue with the MCPTT group call, which has been transformed into an MCPTT emergency group call. MCPTT client 1 can override other clients in the call except those that are also in the MCPTT emergency state.

10.6.2.6.1.3  MCPTT in-progress emergency group state cancelp. 85
The procedure describes the case where an MCPTT client cancels an MCPTT group's in-progress emergency state. The emergency state of the group may alternatively be cancelled by the emergency alert cancellation procedure specified in subclause 10.10.1.2.2.2 of TS 23.280.
Procedures in Figure 10.6.2.6.1.3-1 are the signalling control plane procedures for the MCPTT client cancelling an in-progress emergency of a group.
Pre-conditions:
  1. The MCPTT group is previously defined on the group management server with MCPTT client 2 and MCPTT client 3 affiliated to that MCPTT group.
  2. All members of the MCPTT group belong to the same MCPTT system.
  3. MCPTT group members have been notified about the in-progress emergency.
  4. The MCPTT group is in the in-progress emergency state and has prioritized bearer support when a call is in progress.
  5. MCPTT client 1 is authorized to cancel an in-progress emergency for the group.

Up
Step 1.
The user at the MCPTT client 1 initiates an MCPTT in-progress emergency group state cancel.
Step 2.
MCPTT client 1 sends an MCPTT in-progress emergency group state cancel request to the MCPTT server.
Step 3.
MCPTT server resolves the MCPTT group ID to determine the members of that MCPTT group and their affiliation status, based upon the information from group management server.
Step 4.
The MCPTT server verifies that the user of MCPTT client 1 is authorized to cancel the emergency state of this MCPTT group. The MCPTT server cancels/resets the in-progress emergency state of the MCPTT group.
Step 5.
If a call is currently in progress, the MCPTT server adjusts the priority of the underlying bearer; priority treatment is no longer required.
Step 6.
The MCPTT server sends an MCPTT in-progress emergency group state cancel request to the MCPTT group members.
Step 7.
MCPTT group members are notified of the MCPTT in-progress emergency group state cancel.
Step 8.
The receiving MCPTT clients send the MCPTT in-progress emergency group state cancel response to the MCPTT server to acknowledge the MCPTT in-progress emergency group state cancel. For a multicast call scenario, these acknowledgements are not sent.
Step 9.
The MCPTT server sends the MCPTT in-progress emergency group state cancel response to the MCPTT user 1 to confirm the MCPTT in-progress emergency group state cancel. If the MCPTT in-progress emergency group state cancel request (in step 2) contained the "Alert indicator" IE, the MCPTT client 1 resets its local emergency status.
