This subclause contains procedures for ad hoc group call across one or more MCVideo systems, and associated functions such as emergency call, Imminent peril call, broadcast call and others.
The ad hoc group calls can use the participants list provided by either an initiator of the call or MCVideo server. The MCVideo server can use the criteria provided by the initiator of the call to determine the participants list along with its own criteria or local policies. The resulting ad hoc group uses the configuration of a separate preconfigured MCVideo group.
The preconfigured MCVideo group that provides the configuration is not used for the MCVideo group communication, it only provides configuration for one or more adhoc group calls. The MCVideo group ID of the ad hoc group call is provided by the MCVideo server when the ad hoc group call is originated. In order to establish security context for the end-to-end secured ad hoc group call, the security related information is used from this preconfigured group.
Table 7.19.2.1-1 describes the information flow ad hoc group call request from the MCVideo client to the MCVideo server.

NOTE 1:
If this information element is not included, the MCVideo server assigns an MCVideo ad hoc group ID to be used for the ad hoc group communication. This information element is returned to the calling party to use in the ad hoc group communication. If the request follows an ad hoc group for emergency alert, then this element must be present.
NOTE 2:
This information element is present and set to true only if this ad hoc group call is encrypted. When the ad hoc group call is initiated with participants provided by the initiator this acts as an indicator that subsequent requests follow targeting the individual participants and carrying the relevant key material. If this information element is set to false or not present, then this ad hoc group call is unencrypted.
