Feature:     Definition of teleservice using Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS)

Following on development of Stage 1 and 2 specifications that define the MBMS bearer service, there is now the need to define a teleservice that uses such a bearer. This implies that a limited set of media codecs, formats and transport/application protocols for MBMS need to be specified. Information about typical MBMS applications will be useful to for the design of the UTRAN and GERAN bearers. 

This work item covers teleservice requirements and the definition of a set of media codecs, formats and transport/application protocols. The specification work will take into consideration the need to maximize the reuse of existing features of other 3GPP services. The impact of Digital Rights Management (DRM) will be taken into account within the work. 

Work to be led by S4.
