Patent ID: 7715389

Claim:
An apparatus comprising at least one memory including computer program code, and at least one processor, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus at least to: process streams which are transported by a media access control layer, wherein the streams transported by the media access control layer use separate multicast bursts; process streams which are transported on an internet protocol, wherein each of the streams transported by the media access control layer comprise a related connection identity, and each of the streams transported on an internet protocol comprise a related internet protocol flow and correspond to a session description protocol object with internet protocol information attributes comprising one of an internet protocol based multicast protocol flow or a user datagram protocol port number; map a connection identity and an internet protocol flow for each stream; scan connection identities as listed in the mobile application part protocol; receive internet protocol flows in each of the separate multicast bursts; create a mapping between connection identities and sessions by detecting what internet protocol flows and user datagram protocol port is used in each connection identity; and receive a particular stream relating to a mapped connection identity.
