PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and systems for sending multicast messages.SOLUTION: A multicast message in a first format which may correspond to a conventional multicast message format is received and transmitted to a plurality of access terminals at a RAN. The RAN determines whether the received multicast message requires special handling. If the RAN determines that the received multicast message requires special handling, the RAN converts the received multicast message from the first format into a second format. The RAN transmits the converted multicast message in the second format (e.g., a data over signaling (DOS) message) on a control channel to at least one of the plurality of access terminals. The access terminals receiving the multicast message interpret the message as a multicast message. |
