Abstract: Embodiments herein achieve systems and methods for managing communication in a Mission Critical data (MCData) communication system. The proposed method and system provides file distribution and data streaming in the MCData communication system. The proposed method and system provides a functional model and mechanisms to support mission critical data services. The functional model to support file distribution and data streaming, and associated procedures including one-to-one, one-to-many, and group data communications. Further, the proposed method and system provides mechanisms for optimizing radio resource utilization and backhaul link utilization in the MCData communication system. The proposed method and system provides radio resource utilization of the PC5 interface for the MC service, when multiple group members are under a relay node.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for transmitting a mission critical data (MCData) notification message by a first user equipment (UE) in a communication system by generating an MCData notification message to share disposition information and transmitting the MCData notification message to a second UE. The MCData notification message includes at least one of a notification message identity information element to identify a type of the MCData notification message, a date and time information element to indicate a time when the MCData notification message was sent, a conversation identifier (ID) information element to identify a conversation, and a message ID information element to identify the MCData message within the conversation.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a method for notifying a state of a plurality of members of one or more Mission Critical Service (MCX) groups to an MCX UE in a MC communication system. The method includes identifying, by the MCX server, state of each member of one or more groups. The method includes categorizing, by the MCX server, plurality of members of one or more groups based on identified state of each member. Further, the method includes notifying, by MCX server, state of plurality of members of the one or more groups to the MCX UE based on the categorization. The MCX services include MCData, MCPTT (Voice) and MCVideo communication services. In some embodiments, the state of the members of the MCX groups is notified over an eMBMS channel. In various embodiments, the state of members of MCX groups is notified when a Floor is granted to the MCX user.

Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for optimizing resources in an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) in network, wherein a method includes receiving capabilities of contacts present in the contact book in response to a request sent by an OPTIONS applications server (AS) to the contacts present in the contact book. Further, the method includes aggregating the capabilities of the contacts present in the contact book. Further, the method includes transmitting the aggregated capabilities of the contacts present in the contact book to the UE through a PNT server. Further, the embodiments include fetching updated capabilities of user equipment (UE) by the presence AS through the PNT server. Further, the embodiments include receiving a metadata in response to the received service request using push notifications through the PNT server. Further, the embodiments include registering the UE with the IMS network, if the IMS client is capable of in-call service.

Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose formats for MCData messages and notifications, and methods for coding (encoding and decoding) MCData messages and notifications in a MCData communication system. The method includes generating, by a first UE, an encoded MCData message or notification comprising of signaling payload and data payload content related to one or more MCData user payloads. Further the method includes deriving, by a second UE, the actual MCData messages or notifications by decoding the received encoded MCData messages or notifications. The formats for MCData messages and MCData notifications optimize control headers and allow maximum user data size that can be carried in a single message over signalling, which aids in sending multiple user payloads in a single message.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a systems and methods for managing short data service (SDS) in on-network and off-network mission critical data (MC Data) communication system. The various embodiments provide one-to-one SDS and a group SDS in the on-network MC Data communication system for a unidirectional communication. The various embodiments provide one-to-one SDS and a group SDS in the on-network MC Data communication system for a bidirectional communication. Further, the various embodiments provide a one-to-one SDS and a group SDS in an off-network MC Data communication system for a unidirectional communication.

Abstract: A method for associating services in an electronic device is provided. The method includes sending, by a first electronic device, a first service with a first private association dialog (PAD) to a second electronic device, wherein the first PAD of the first service includes a first PAD identifier and sending, by the first electronic device, a second service with a second PAD to the second electronic device, wherein the second PAD of the second service includes a second PAD identifier that matches the first PAD identifier to associate the second service with the first service at the second electronic device.
