ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure discloses a method for providing multicast services, which includes receiving a multicast service request sent by a UE through an IMS network, obtaining the media transmission parameters of the multicast media streams, sending a response to the UE through the IMS network with the media transmission parameters carried in the response, and sending the multicast media streams corresponding to the media transmission parameters to the UE. Further, a system providing multicast services and a multicast service support system is disclosed.
