<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for dealing with a subscription service such as a multicast service so as to reduce power consumption. <P>SOLUTION: The method includes the step of assigning at least one multicast rate to each multicast service subscriber. The assigned multicast rate, by this method, corresponds to the determining of channel conditions, power requirements, desired content and/or the multicast service subscription type for each subscriber. Further, the method includes the step of receiving a multicast subscription service at an assigned multicast rate. The assigned multicast rate here corresponds to the multicast subscription type, desired content, channel conditions, power requirements, other services and/or equipment class of the user. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
