First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of managing multicast communications within a wireless communications system, comprising:
- receiving, at an access network, a group status message including a multicast session identifier and at least one access terminal identifier; and
updating, at the access network, a multicast group membership table based on the group status message, the multicast group membership table including a list of access terminal identifiers that have registered for the multicast session identified by the multicast session identifier.

Abstract
Managing multicast communications within a wireless communications system, including receiving, at an access network, a group status message including a multicast session identifier and at least one access terminal identifier. The access network updates a multicast group membership table based on the group status message. The multicast group membership table is configured to include a list of access terminal identifiers that have registered for the multicast session identified by the multicast session identifier.
