There is ongoing group communication between multiple MCVideo clients. Another MCVideo client, after becoming aware of that group communication, sends a request to get the required communication parameters and after feedback joins the group with or without sending an indication to other group members.
Figure 7.1.3.5.2-1 describes procedures to join a MCVideo group communication actively.
The MCVideo client X sends a Group communication announcement message towards the MCVideo group.
Upon receiving a Group communication announcement message with new communication parameters, such as communication identifier, a MCVideo client participating in the on-going group communication for the MCVideo group sends a Group communication announcement message.
The Group communication announcement message contains parameters for the on-going MCVideo group communication. MCVideo client X upon receiving such a Group communication announcement message establishes the media plane as described in the message and joins the MCVideo group communication.
Pre-conditions:
-
Information for ProSe direct communications corresponding to the MCVideo group and its mapping to ProSe Layer-2 Group ID are pre-configured in MCVideo client 1 to client N and client X.
-
MCVideo client 1 to MCVideo client N and MCVideo client X are members of the same MCVideo group.
-
MCVideo client 1 to MCVideo client N are part of an ongoing MCVideo group communication.
Step 1.
Another MCVideo client X enters in the communication range after the MCVideo group communication establishment. The MCVideo client X sends a Group communication announcement message to start a newMCVideo group communication.
Step 2.
Upon receiving a Group communication announcement message with new communication parameters, such as communication identifier, another MCVideo client, which is part of the ongoing MCVideo group communication sends a Group communication announcement message.
Step 3.
Upon receiving the Group communication announcement message MCVideo client X sets parameters for the media plane as described in the Group communication announcement message.
Step 4.
If the Group communication announcement message included a confirm mode indication, MCVideo client X may send a group communication answer response towards MCVideo group to inform all MCVideo group members of its participation the MCVideo group communication.
Step 5.
MCVideo group communication continues with the MCVideo client X.
