Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système de gestion du service de diffusion générale et de multidiffusion pouvant gérer de façon efficace le service de diffusion générale et de multidiffusion (MBS). Dans la présente invention, l'équipement d'abonné achemine les informations d'authentification d'identité de l'équipement d'abonné et le code d'information correspondant à l'identifiant de MBS dans le message de demande d'exploitation de MBS transmis au côté réseau. Après que le côté réseau a reçu le message, en fonction du code d'information contenu dans le message et de la relation correspondante entre le code d'information sauvegardé et l'identifiant de MBS, il récupère l'identifiant de MBS correspondant et authentifie l'équipement d'utilisateur en fonction des informations d'authentification d'identité contenues dans le message. Si l'authentification d'identité a lieu et si l'équipement d'utilisateur est autorisé à réaliser l'exploitation, le côté du réseau réalise l'exploitation de la MBS. Le message de demande d'exploitation de MBS est le message de demande de souscription au MBS ou le message de demande d'annulation de MBS.
