6.1 MCData client procedures
6.1.1 Standalone SDS via media plane
6.1.1.1 General
In a standalone SDS via media plane, upon receiving an SDS request from the user or user application the originating MCData client establishes the media plane as specified in 3GPP TS 24.282 [8]. When the media plane is established a conversation ID is associated with this SDS message.
For the procedures in clause 6.1.1.2 it is assumed that it has been verified that:
1. if standalone one to one SDS using media plane is initiated:
a. the MCData client is allowed to transmit data;
b. the size of the SDS message is less than or equal to maximum amount of data that the MCData user can transmit in a single request during one-to-one communication; and
c. the size of the SDS message is less than or equal to maximum data size for SDS;
2. if standalone group SDS using media plane is initiated:
a. the MCData client is allowed to transmit data in this group;
b. the size of the SDS message is less than or equal to maximum amount of data that the MCData user can transmit in a single request during group communication;and
c. the size of the SDS message is less than or equal to maximum data size for SDS; and3. the size of the short data including the media plane information elements is larger than the allowed limits over MCData-SDS-1 interface using SIP reference points.
before the media plane establishment is initiated as specified in 3GPP TS 24.282[8]:
The procedures in clause 6.1.1.2 and clause 6.1.1.3 are applicable for one-to-one and group standalone SDS using media plane.

6.5 SDS delivery using MBMS
6.5.1 General Description (non-normative)
The procedures for group SDS delivery using MBMS via the media plane can be seen as extensions of the procedures for group SDS session delivery using unicast. The procedures of the originating client, originating participating function and controling function are those used for unicast session delivery for group SDS. Only the terminating participating function and the terminating client are involved in MBMS delivery functionality for group SDS.
The procedures assume that consistent with 3GPP TS 24.282 [8], an SDS session has already been established and the originating and terminating MCData clients have already completed successfully the SDP offer/answer negotiation. It is further assumed that the terminating MCData participating function has already sent an MBMS bearer announcement message providing information about the MBMS bearer and subchannel intended for MBMS delivery and that the terminating MCData client has received and processed the MBMS bearer announcement message, as described in 3GPP TS 24.282 [8].
During the SDS session, the terminating MCData participating function intercepts MSRP SEND messages arriving from the originating side, and, after eliminating duplicates, encapsulates them unchanged as payload in (S)RTP/UDP/IP (see IETF RFC 3711 [17]) packets and transmits them on an MBMS bearer towards the terminating MCData client. Upon reception, the terminating MCData client decapsulates the payload and processes it as an MSRP SEND message within the SDS session, arriving from the originating side.
NOTE 1: Since MSRP chunking is supported for unicast delivery, it is also supported for MBMS delivery.
NOTE 2: If SRTP (see IETF RFC 3711 [17]), rather than RTP, is used to security protect packets sent on MBMS bearer, MuSiK (see 3GPP TS 24.482 [5] and 3GPP TS 33.180 [15]) may be employed to provide protection in addition to the security mechanisms that protect the unicast MSRP traffic.
NOTE 3: Whether unicast or MBMS delivery are used is up to the terminating participating function, which can use listening status reports from the MCData clients, the presence or absence of the DELIVERED disposition in SDS, as well as other information, to decide on an individual MCData client and SDS basis. At any time during a session, the terminating participating server can toggle between unicast and MBMS delivery.
6.5.2 Procedures for the terminating MCData client
6.5.2.1 Handling the MSRP connection
The terminating MCData client shall execute the procedure for MSRP connection establishment described in clause 6.1.2.3.1.
6.5.2.2 Receiving Map Group To Bearer and Unmap Group To Bearer
While MBMS delivery is expected, the terminating MCData client shall monitor the general purpose MBMS subchannel.
When receiving a Map Group To Bearer message over the general purpose MBMS subchannel, the MBMS interface in the MCData client:
1) shall associate the TMGI in the TMGI field, the MBMS subchannel for media with the MCData group identity in the MCData Group ID field; and
2) shall start or continue the procedure described in clause 6.5.2.3.
When receiving the Unmap Group To Bearer message referring to the current communication over a MBMS subchannel, the MBMS interface in the MCData client:
1) shall remove the association between the TMGI, the MBMS subchannel for media in the group session identified by the MCData Group ID field, if such an association exists; and
2) shall cease monitoring the associated MBMS bearer and subchannel for media and, if the SDS session is still ongoing, shall resume or continue SDS delivery via media plane over unicast.
6.5.2.3 Receiving media packets
The terminating MCData client shall:
1. while MBMS delivery is expected, the terminating MCData client shall monitor the MBMS bearer and subchannel indicated by the Map Group To Bearer message; and
2. for each received (S)RTP media packet, until a SIP BYE is received or until an implementation dependent timeout occurs:
a. decapsulate the payload out of the (S)RTP packet and, if SRTP rather than RTP is used (see IETF RFC 3711 [17]), decrypt and validate the payload;
b. if the media packet was received via an MBMS bearer with the TMGI associated to the group, accept the payload as correctly destined for the terminating MCData client, regardless of whether or not the To‑Path header of the MSRP SEND message in the payload matches the terminating MCData client’s MSRP URI (i.e. the MSRP URI provided in the answer SDP to the controlling function during the MSRP session establishment, in accordance with rules and procedures of IETF RFC 4975 [11]); and
c. process the payload as a received MSRP SEND message according to clause 6.1.2.3.1, in the context of the media flow formed by previously received MSRP SEND messages, whether delivered via unicast or via MBMS.
6.5.3 Procedures for the terminating MCData participating function
6.5.3.1 Establishing MSRP session
The terminating MCData participating function:
1. shall establish an MSRP session with the controlling MCData function according to clause 6.2.2.5.1; and
2. shall establish an MSRP session with the terminating MCData client according to clause 6.2.2.5.2.
6.5.3.2 Sending Map Group To Bearer and Unmap Group To Bearer
The terminating MCData participating function:
1. shall build a Map Group To Bearer message (see clause 11.2.4) to include:
a. the TMGI of the MBMS bearer to carry the traffic;
b. the identifier of the media stream; and
c. the MCData Group identifier field; and
2. shall send (repetitively, at short, implementation dependent time intervals) the Map Group To Bearer message over the general purpose MBMS subchannel.
When the session ends, the terminating MCData participating function shall build the corresponding Unmap Group To Bearer message (see clause 11.2.5) and shall send it over the general purpose MBMS subchannel.
6.5.3.3 Receiving media packets intended for a terminating MCData client
When receiving an MSRP SEND message that the terminating participating server considers qualified for MBMS delivery and is destined to one of the MCData clients listening to the MBMS subchannel, the participating MCData function:
NOTE 1: An MSRP SEND message that does not qualify for MBMS delivery or is not destined to an MCData client listening to the MBMS subchannel is handled as an MSRP SEND message to be delivered over unicast (see clause 6.2.1.5.3).
1. shall generate and send an MSRP 200 (OK) response for the received MSRP SEND message to the controlling MCData function, according to the rules and procedures of IETF RFC 4975 [11];
2. shall check if the media packet that encapsulates the MSRP SEND message is already sent over the MBMS subchannel or not;
3. if the media packet is already sent over the MBMS subchannel, shall discard the MSRP SEND message; and
4. otherwise:
a. shall build an (S)RTP/UDP/IP (see IETF RFC 3711 [17]) media packet with the IP address and UDP port number indicated in the sent Map Group To Bearer message and with the received MSRP SEND message as payload, security protected if SRTP is used, per IETF RFC 3711 [17] and 3GPP TS 33.180 [15]; and
b. shall transmit the built (S)RTP/UDP/IP packet on the MBMS bearer identified by the TMGI indicated in the sent Map Group To Bearer message.
NOTE 2: To save over-the air resources, the terminating MCData participating function releases or reduces the bandwidth of the unicast downlink bearers used for unicast SDS delivery. However, to enable the ability of rapid switching between unicast and MBMS delivery, the terminating MCData participating function can keep the unicast bearers intact.
Upon receiving error MSRP responses (see IETF RFC 4975 [11]) from the terminating MCData client, the terminating MCData participating function shall forward the error MSRP responses towards the originating MCData client.
