39、 based on group communications and IP multicast. Multicast plays a particularly important role and possesses many distinct advantages in mobile environments because it enables scalable and global multimedia streaming services. In NGNs, a wide variety of services and applications using multicast are
40、expected to be used with user equipment (UE) operating over fixed and mobile access networks. Furthermore, it is desirable that new functionality for multicast-based services need not be installed on UE considering backward compatibility with legacy UE. This Recommendation aims to develop a mobility
41、 management (MM) framework to support multicast communications in NGNs. To provide multicast-based services in NGNs, MM capabilities need to be combined and interoperated efficiently with multicast capabilities. These capabilities enable UE to receive multicast data continuously even while moving am
42、ong different access networks. From these observations, it is noted that there is a crucial need to develop some promising MM schemes or protocols in order to provide seamless mobile multicast services under the mobility environments of NGNs. 6.1 Target applications and services Generally, mobile mu
43、lticast services mean that a service provider supports various multimedia services for the restricted user group in a mobile environment. A user has to join the multicast group for services offered by the multicast source. Once the user is a member of the multicast group, a multicast delivery path i
44、s constructed between the multicast source and user using multicast protocol such as protocol-independent multicast (PIM). Leaving a multicast group, a user cannot receive any multicast traffic from the source. When a user moves to another network, the corresponding procedures, unlike the unicast se
45、rvice, should be followed for seamless multicast service. To satisfy these requirements, some technical issues different from those applied to the fixed network should be considered. 4 Rec. ITU-T Y.2810 (03/2012) This Recommendation supports IP-based multimedia multicast applications with the follow
46、ing characteristics: a) Multicast applications and/or services with receiver mobility Personal broadcasting is a service wherein the mobile multicast framework is applicable. The user can act as a multicast source, and other users who want to use the multicast service get source information, includi
47、ng group addresses, by online or offline advertisement. To provide the mobile multicast services, MM capabilities, including Access Mobility Management Control Functions (A-MMCFs) and Central Mobility Management Control Functions (C-MMCFs), interwork with multicast capabilities such as multicast rou
48、ters (MRs). After users join the multicast group, they can receive multicast traffic from the source. The delivery path can be changeable dynamically as handover between access networks occurs (see Figure 6-1). The mobile multicast framework can be adopted not only for a given service but for any ap
49、plication with multiple mobile receivers.
