Hello, All,
I am doing something in Multicast service in UMTS. Found something
confusing.
If a service broadcast (?) / multicast (?) data to a Routeing Area, it
does not stop even if there is no any member in the RA, but it do have
explicit join / query / response / leave procedures.
What Can I call it? Broadcast or Multicast?
From the definition of Multicast, we can say it is a multicast for the
data to send to a group of users. But it is more like broadcast because
there isn't distribution tree truncate when no member in a RA.
Thank you!
Truly yours,
