The MCData server may receive several simultaneous requests for data transmission, which may be associated with different types of communication e.g. group, private, 1-to-many. For each communication, how the requests are processed may be different. The requests that are not authorized shall be rejected by the transmission control function. For message requests over the signalling control plane, the processing should be immediate and is delivered to the recipients either via unicast or broadcast. However, for message requests over the media plane, transmission control arbitration (see Annex B.2) will be necessary. Subsequent to transmission control arbitration, and subject to the policy e.g. store and forward, the data is either delivered directly to the recipient MCData user or stored in the network repository and a corresponding URL is delivered. The end-to-end transmission control process is illustrated in figure B.1-1.
