CONTROL UNIT AND METHOD FOR MANAGING MULTICAST GROUPS IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

For providing a convenient and intuitive user interface for managing multicast groups in a wireless network with a plurality of nodes (10), thus improving the user convenience and speed in managing large-scale wireless networks, a control unit and a method are provided, wherein one or more network elements of at least one predefined network layer (L1, L2) selected by a user are displayed and at least one network element of the displayed network layer (L1, L2) is assigned to or removed from a multicast group based on a user input, wherein a network element is a node (10) and/or a group of nodes (10).
