Method and apparatus for providing multicast service and method and apparatus for allocating multicast service resource in terminal-to-terminal direct communication
First Claim
1. A method of providing a multicast service by a terminal in a terminal-to-terminal direct communication, the method comprising:
- transmitting a multicast subscribe request message to a multicast server;
receiving a multicast subscribe response message including a result of the multicast subscribe request from the multicast server;
transmitting a service start request message requesting a start of a multicast service to the multicast server;
receiving a service start response message including a result of permitting a start request from the multicast server;
receiving, via a base station among a plurality of base stations, resource information of a resource which a multicast coordinator allocates to the multicast service in accordance with a request of the multicast server, wherein the multicast coordinator is connected to the plurality of base stations and manages resources of the plurality of base stations; and
transmitting multicast service data based on the resource information,wherein the service start request message includes an identifier of the multicast service and location information of the terminal, andwherein the multicast subscribe request message includes an identifier of the terminal and mobility degree of the terminal.

Abstract
A method of providing a multicast service is provided by a terminal in a terminal-to-terminal direct communication. The terminal transmits a service start request message requesting a start of a multicast service to a multicast server, and receives a service start response message including a result of permitting a start request from the multicast server. The terminal receives, via a base station, resource information of a resource which a multicast coordinator allocates to the multicast service in accordance with a request of the multicast server, and transmits multicast service data based on the resource information.

5. A method of allocating a resource for a multicast service by a multicast coordinator in a terminal-to-terminal direct communication, the method comprising:
-
receiving from a multicast server a multicast session start request message requesting resource allocation for a multicast service in accordance with a request of a terminal starting the multicast service, the terminal being subscribed in the multicast service by transmitting a multicast subscribe request message to the multicast server and receiving a multicast subscribe response message including a result of the multicast subscribe request from the multicast server, and the multicast subscribe request message including an identifier of the terminal and mobility degree of the terminal; allocating a resource to the multicast service; storing resource information of the allocated resource and information on the multicast service; and transmitting a resource allocation request message including the resource information to a plurality of base stations, wherein the multicast coordinator is connected to the plurality of base stations and manages resources of the plurality of base stations, wherein the multicast session start request message includes an identifier of the multicast service and location information of the terminal, and wherein the multicast session start request message is received from the multicast server which receives a multicast subscribe request message from the terminal. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. An apparatus for providing a multicast service in a terminal-to-terminal direct communication, the apparatus comprising:
-
a processor configured to generate a service start request message requesting a start of a multicast service and a multicast subscribe request message; and a transceiver configured to transmit the multicast subscribe request message, to receive a multicast subscribe response message including a result of the multicast subscribe request from the multicast server, to transmit the service start request message to a multicast server, to receive a service start response message including a result of permitting a start request from the multicast server, to receive, via a base station among a plurality of base stations, resource information of a resource which a multicast coordinator allocates to the multicast service in accordance with a request of the multicast server, and to transmit multicast service data based on the resource information, wherein the multicast coordinator is connected to the plurality of base stations and manages resources of the plurality of base stations, wherein the service start request message includes an identifier of the multicast service and location information of the terminal, and wherein the multicast subscribe request message includes an identifier of the terminal and mobility degree of the terminal. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. An apparatus for allocating a resource for a multicast service in a terminal-to-terminal direct communication, the apparatus comprising:
-
a database; a processor configured to allocate a resource to a multicast service in response to a multicast session start request message that is transmitted by a multicast server in accordance with a request of a terminal starting the multicast service, the terminal being subscribed in the multicast service by transmitting a multicast subscribe request message to the multicast server and receiving a multicast subscribe response message including a result of the multicast subscribe request from the multicast server, and the multicast subscribe request message including an identifier of the terminal and mobility degree of the terminal, and store resource information of the allocated resource and information on the multicast service in the database; and a transceiver configured to receive the multicast session start request message and to transmit a resource allocation request message including the resource information to a plurality of base stations, wherein the multicast session start request message includes an identifier of the multicast service and location information of the terminal, and wherein the apparatus is connected to the plurality of base stations and manages resources of the plurality of base stations. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
