<p>A method for managing multicast subscribers in a mobile network, comprising: classifying data related to multicast traffic into multicast-related record data and multicast route data. The multicast-related record data is stored in the system for query, while the multicast route data is hierarchically stored in the system to determine how to forward multicast data. When a subscriber joins in a multicast group or the multicast subscriber exits a multicast group, the hierarchical multicast route data and said multicast-related record data are modified accordingly. When the multicast subscriber performs a position register and position update in the network, the hierarchical multicast route data in the system is modified accordingly. The management of multicast subscribers in the mobile network can be achieved easily and both management efficiency and the utilization coefficient of system resources are improved. <IMAGE></p> |
