A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for group service communication are provided. The apparatus determines a transmission type for sending a group call message of a group call service to a set of UEs based on information received from the set of UEs. The transmission type may be one of a unicast (UC) transmission type, a point-to-multipoint (PTM) transmission type, and a multimedia broadcast service (MBMS) transmission type. The apparatus establishes at least one of one of a UC bearer, a group bearer or a MBMS bearer for the set of UEs based on the determination, and sends the group call message through the at least one established bearer to the set of UEs. |
