Provided are a method and apparatus for allocating resources for a group call in a cluster system. When a group call is initiated, a cluster server counts the number of terminals under all MBSFN areas allocated and pre-allocated by each MCE for the group call, according to information about the MBSFN areas allocated and pre-allocated by each MCE for the group call; when the group call is ongoing, re-counts the number of the terminals under all the MBSFN areas allocated and pre-allocated by each MCE for the group call; if it is determined that the number of the terminals under an MBSFN area changes from zero to non-zero, the cluster server initiates a process of allocating resources for the group call under the MBSFN area; and if it is determined that the number of the terminals under an MBSFN area changes from non-zero to zero, the cluster server initiates a process of releasing resources allocated for the group call under the MBSFN area. The scheme solves the problem of wasting resources due to the fixed configurations of the MBSFN areas receiving a group call in the related art. |
