The MCPTT Service shall only allow an MCPTT User to participate in one MCPTT Private Call (without Floor control) at a time.
6.15 Audio MCPTT call performance p. 51
6.15.1 General overview p. 51
Meeting the KPIs defined in the following subclauses is based on a number of factors, including the selection of appropriate protocols, minimizing messaging, the backhaul technology used, and appropriate configuration of the deployed network. The corresponding requirements are intended to convey the resulting KPIs when all of those factors are taken into account. For example, where there is significant backhaul delay, that delay is expected to be added to the KPIs.
6.15.2 General requirements p. 51
[R-6.15.2-001]
The architecture and protocols providing the MCPTT Service shall be designed in a way to eventually allow a deployed network to meet the KPIs specified hereafter (subclause 6.15.3.2 and subclause 6.15.4.2).
6.15.3 MCPTT access time and mouth-to-ear latency p. 51
6.15.3.1 General overview p. 51
For MCPTT Users, one of the most important performance criteria is the MCPTT Access time (KPI 1). The MCPTT Access time is defined as the time between when an MCPTT User request to speak (normally by pressing the MCPTT control on the MCPTT UE) and when this user gets a signal to start speaking. This time does not include confirmations from receiving users.
The MCPTT Access time (KPI 1) does not include the time for an MCPTT User to affiliate to the group. This is a common scenario within public safety, meaning that affiliations to MCPTT Groups are long lived during several working hours. KPI 1 is applicable in both an MCPTT Group call setup request and subsequent MCPTT Requests that are part of the same call. KPI 1 for subsequent MCPTT Requests might take a slightly shorter time than the first MCPTT setup request of the same call due to its potential need of resource allocation in terms of bearer establishment. However from an end user perspective there is no need to differentiate required performance for an MCPPT Group call setup request and subsequent MCPTT Requests.
The End-to-end MCPTT Access time (KPI 2) is defined as the time between when an MCPTT User requests to speak (normally by pressing the MCPTT control on the MCPTT UE) and when this user gets a signal to start speaking, including MCPTT call establishment (if applicable) and possibly acknowledgement from first receiving user before voice can be transmitted. Group calls can be set up with or without acknowledgements from receiving users.
For MCPTT Private Calls (with Floor control), end-to-end MCPTT Access time (also KPI 2) is measured from the initiating client's Private call request to reception of either a Private Call response for automatic commencement or the MCPTT ringing indication for manual commencement. End-to-end access time for both automatic and manual commencement private calls (KPI 2) is shown in Figure 6.15.3.1-1.
The Mouth-to-ear latency (KPI 3) is the time between an utterance by the transmitting user, and the playback of the utterance at the receiving user's speaker. Figure 6.15.3.1-1 illustrates the MCPTT Access time and Mouth-to-ear latency.

6.15.4 Late call entry performance p. 53
6.15.4.1 General overview p. 53
An MCPTT User is able to join or leave already ongoing MCPTT Group calls. Late call entry is the activity when an Affiliated MCPTT Group Member joins an MCPTT Group call in which other Affiliated MCPTT Group Members are already active. The Late call entry time (KPI 4) is the time to enter an ongoing MCPTT Group call measured from the time that a user decides to monitor such an MCPTT Group Call, to the time when the MCPTT UE's speaker starts to play the audio. The performance requirements for Late call entry time only applies to when there is ongoing voice transmitted at the time the MCPTT User joins the call.
In a Late call entry there might be an initial lost audio of the voice burst sent to the new Receiving MCPTT Group Member. Figure 6.15.4.1-1 illustrates the Late call entry time.
