Abstract

See full text

Embodiments described herein provide usage authorization control for group communications. In one embodiment, a network element identifies a group communication for an end user of User Equipment (UE), and identifies a group ID for the group communication. The network element retrieves a user profile of the end user from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), and determines from the user profile and the group ID whether the end user is a member of the group. The network element provides, on the condition that the end user is a member of the group, the group ID to the HSS and receives group usage rules for the group from the HSS. The network element allows the group communication on the condition that the group communication is permitted by one or more of the group usage rules.
