A user regroup may be achieved by regrouping MCPTT users into a new regroup group which uses the configuration of a separate pre-configured MCPTT group. The MCPTT regroup group configuration needs to be provided to the relevant MCPTT users who will be regrouped in advance of the regrouping operation. A pre-configured user regroup may contain users homed in the IWF and the IWF may host pre-configured user regroups which may contain members homed in an MCPTT system.
The pre-configured user regroup that provides the configuration is not used as the pre-configured user regroup itself, it only provides configuration for one or more pre-configured user regroups. The MCPTT group ID of the pre-configured user regroup is provided by the originating authorized user or the originating IWF when the pre-configured user regrouping is carried out.
Figure 10.3.8.2.1-1 illustrates the procedure to initiate a pre-configured user regroup procedure using a pre-configured user regroup. The procedure takes place prior to the establishment of a group call to the pre-configured user regroup.
Pre-conditions:
MCPTT clients 2 and 3 are registered with the MCPTT service.
An MCPTT group that will be used for configuration of the pre-configured user regroup has been pre-configured in MCPTT clients 2 and 3 and the IWF, and MCPTT clients 2 and 3 and the IWF have received the relevant security related information to allow them to communicate in the pre-configured user regroup.
MCPTT client 1 is authorized to initiated a pre-configured user regroup using the pre-configured user regroup procedure.
MCPTT client 1 is aware of a suitable pre-configured group whose configuration has been pre-configured in the MC service clients of the MCPTT users who will be regrouped.
The pre-configured user regroup is homed in the MCPTT server.
The authorized user of MCPTT client 1 initiates the pre-configured user regroup procedure, specifying the list of MCPTT users to be regrouped (MCPTT clients 2, 3 and one or more IWF users), the MCPTT group ID of the pre-configured user regroup, and the MCPTT group ID of the group from which configuration information for the pre-configured user regroup is to be taken.
MCPTT client 1 sends the pre-configured regroup request to the MCPTT server. The request indicates the list of users to be included in the regroup operation.
MCPTT clients 2 and 3 may send the pre-configured regroup response to the MCPTT server to acknowledge the regrouping action. These acknowledgements are not sent in response to a multicast transmission of the pre-configured regroup request.
Figure 10.3.8.2.2-1 illustrates the procedure for the IWF to initiate a pre-configured user regroup procedure using a pre-configured MCPTT group. The procedure takes place prior to the establishment of a pre-configured user regroup call to the pre-configured user regroup. For simplicity, only one receiving MCPTT client is shown.
Pre-conditions:
The MCPTT client is registered with the MCPTT service.
An MCPTT group that will be used for configuration of the pre-configured user regroup has been pre-configured in the MCPTT client and the IWF, and the MCPTT client has received the relevant security related information to allow it to communicate in the pre-configured user regroup.
The pre-configured user regroup is homed in the IWF.
The IWF initiates the pre-configured user regroup, the IWF sends an IWF pre-configured regroup request to the MCPTT server. The request indicates the list of users to be included in the regroup operation, that are homed in the MCPTT system.
The MCPTT client may send the pre-configured regroup response to the MCPTT server to acknowledge the regrouping action. This acknowledgement is not sent in response to a multicast transmission of the pre-configured regroup request.
Figure 10.3.8.3.1-1 illustrates the procedure to cancel a pre-configured user regroup that uses a pre-configured MCPTT group. For simplicity, only one receiving MCPTT client is shown.
Pre-conditions:
MCPTT client 2 and at least one user homed in the IWF have been regrouped into the pre-configured user regroup.
MCPTT client 1 is authorized to cancel a pre-configured user regroup that uses a pre-configured MCPTT group.
MCPTT client 2 may send the MCPTT server a pre-configured regroup cancel response. This acknowledgement is not sent in response to a multicast transmission of the pre-configured regroup cancel request.
Figure 10.3.8.3.2-1 illustrates the procedure to cancel a pre-configured user regroup that uses a pre-configured MCPTT group. For simplicity, only one receiving MCPTT client is shown.
Pre-conditions:
An MCPTT client and at least one user homed in the IWF have been regrouped into the pre-configured user regroup.
The IWF initiates the cancellation of the pre-configured user regroup. The IWF sends the pre-configured regroup cancel request to the MCPTT server, specifying the MCPTT group ID of the pre-configured user regroup.
The MCPTT client may send the MCPTT server a pre-configured regroup cancel response. This acknowledgement is not sent in response to a multicast transmission of the pre-configured regroup cancel request.
