26、lease 13 1 Scope The present document provides the stage 2 description for the 3GPP system provided enablers to support group communication services using EUTRAN access. The corresponding stage 1 requirements are defined in TS 22.468 2. The group communication system is represented by an Application
27、 Server (GCS AS) using the 3GPP system provided enablers for transferring its application signalling and for delivering application data, e.g. media data, to a group of UEs either (i) over MBMS Bearer Services using the Broadcast Mode of MBMS (TS 23.246 3); or (ii) over EPS Bearers; or (iii) over bo
28、th MBMS and EPS bearer services. The specification covers both roaming and non-roaming scenarios and also includes support for service continuity, i.e. support for continuous reception of application data when a UE changes between reception of application data via EPS and MBMS Bearer Services. Appli
29、cation level interactions between the UE and the GCS Application Server are out of scope of this specification. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. - References are either specific (identified b

41、pplication Server (GCS AS) may use the enablers offered by the 3GPP system for providing a Group Communication Service (GCS). These enablers are denoted as Group Communication System Enablers (GCSE). The GCS AS uses EPS bearer services and may use in addition MBMS bearer services for transferring ap
42、plication signalling and data between the GCS AS and the UEs. In uplink direction, the UE uses an EPS bearer service to exchange application signalling with the GCS AS or when it wants to send data to the GCS AS. In downlink direction the GCS AS may transfer application signalling and data via the U
43、E individual EPS bearer services and/or via MBMS ETSI ETSI TS 123 468 V13.3.0 (2016-03)8Stage 2 3GPP TS 23.468 version 13.3.0 Release 13 bearer service. The GCS UEs register with their GCS AS using application signalling for participating in one or multiple GCS groups. NOTE 1: GCS application signal
44、ling (e.g. for group admission and floor control) and GCS group management aspects (such as group creation, deletion, modification, group membership control, etc) are out of scope of this specification. When an MBMS bearer service is used, its broadcast service area may be pre-configured for use by
45、the GCS AS. Alternatively, the GCS AS may dynamically decide to use an MBMS bearer service when it determines that the number of UE for a GCS group is sufficiently large within an area (e.g. within a cell or a collection of cells). When MBMS bearer service is used, GCS AS may transfer data from diff
46、erent GCS groups over a single MBMS broadcast bearer. The application signalling and data transferred via MBMS bearer(s) are transparent to BM-SC and the MBMS bearer service. The GCS AS provides the UEs via GCS application signalling with all configuration information that the UE needs to receive ap
47、plication data via MBMS bearer services and to handle that data appropriately. When a GCS UE moves between areas where its MBMS broadcast bearers are available or not, the UE informs the GCS AS via application signalling that it changes from MBMS broadcast bearer reception to non-reception, or vice
48、versa, the GCS AS activates or deactivates the downlink application signalling and data transfer via the UE individual EPS bearer(s) as appropriate. To accomplish service continuity, a UE may temporarily receive the same GCS application signalling and data in parallel via EPS bearer(s) and MBMS serv
49、ice(s). The GCS UE application discards any received application signalling or data duplicates. The following diagram shows an example of a scenario where a combination of Unicast and MBMS Delivery is used for a particular media, belonging to a single group, by the GCS AS on the DL to different UEs. Here, UE-1 and UE-2 receive DL traffic over unicast whereas UEs 3-6 receive DL traffic over MBMS. NOTE 2: Even though UE-2, UE-3 and UE-4 are connected to the same eNB (eNB-2), the UEs may be using different delivery modes. For example, UE
