3.1 Definitions

For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in 3GPP TR 21.905 [1] and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in 3GPP TR 21.905 [1].

Automatic commencement mode: A mode in which the initiation of the private call does not require any action on the part of the receiving MCPTT user.

First-to-answer call: A call that is started when the first MCPTT user among multiple potential target recipients’ answers. This call requires the answering MCPTT user to answer manually; automatic answer is not allowed

Group call: A mechanism by which an MCPTT user can make a one-to-many MCPTT transmission to other users that are members of MCPTT group(s).

Group home MCPTT system: The MCPTT system where the MCPTT group is defined.

Group host MCPTT server: The MCPTT server within an MCPTT system that provides centralised support for MCPTT services of an MCPTT group defined in a group home MCPTT system.

Manual commencement mode: A mode in which the initiation of the private call requires the receiving MCPTT user to perform some action to accept or reject the call setup.

MCPTT client: An instance of an MC service client that provides the client application function for the MCPTT service.

MCPTT group: An MC service group configured for MCPTT service.

MCPTT group affiliation: An MC service group affiliation for MCPTT.

MCPTT group de-affiliation: An MC service group de-affiliation for MCPTT.

MCPTT ID: An instance of an MC service ID within the MCPTT service.

MCPTT server: An instance of an MC service server that provides the server application function for the MCPTT service.

On-network MCPTT service: The collection of functions and capabilities required to provide MCPTT via EPS bearers using E-UTRAN to provide the last hop radio bearers.

Preconfigured MCPTT group: an MCPTT group used only for regrouping that has been configured in advance of a group or user regrouping operation to serve as the source of regroup group configuration.

Pre-selected MCPTT user profile: An instance of the pre-selected MC service user profile for MCPTT.

UE-to-network relay MCPTT service: The collection of functions and capabilities required to provide MCPTT via a ProSe UE-to-network relay using ProSe direct communication paths to provide the last hop radio bearer(s).

Ad hoc Group Communication: The combining of a multiplicity of MC service users into a group for the duration of a communication. When the communication is released the group no longer exists.
